Nalan Thirteen, Be My Dog

"What will you do if I leave? Do you think I don't know about the Death Treasure?"

Fu Jinyu also felt that she had been a bit impulsive this time. She could tolerate being scolded by Xu Mu.

But she absolutely could not tolerate Xu Mu telling her to leave this place.

"Since you know about this place, why were you still caught?"

Xu Mu gave Fu Jinyu a faint glance.

"That's because the monsters this time were not right. They were completely different from usual. Normally, each monster only targets one person."

Fu Jinyu explained, "But there were over a dozen dealing with me."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's expression gradually turned grave. "If what you're saying is true, someone here might be targeting you."

"I thought so too. It seems like they were deliberately coming after me."

Fu Jinyu nodded.

"Then shouldn't you leave even more? Someone is targeting you."

"It's different. Last time, I kept fighting them and didn't run. This time, with you by my side, I definitely won't linger in battle."

Fu Jinyu glanced at Xu Mu.

"Alright, then let's go back quickly."

Xu Mu changed his appearance again, turning himself into a middle-aged man with a buzz cut.

To blend in with the surroundings, he changed his hair to silver and his eyes to red.

This was the appearance of the Jiuli Tribe.

He took out a spirit stone from his body and carved a simple coordinate array.

This array, to put it plainly, was like a tracker. As a level-seven array master, it was very easy for him to carve.

Because this array was small enough, unless it was a high-level array master, ordinary people would definitely not discover it.

This time, Xu Mu planned to try his luck and see if he could find their lair.

The two of them hurried toward the distant city again.

Fu Jinyu wore a black robe and a mask, completely concealing her appearance.

Returning to the stage, they found that the auction for Nalan Shisan had already begun.

"Four hundred catties!"

An old man said loudly, "Nalan Shisan once slaughtered our clan. Please do me a favor, everyone. I think we all want her dead, rather than wanting her body, right?"

Hearing this, the surrounding crowd nodded in agreement.

At the beginning, when the price was low, many people still had a playful mindset.

It had to be said that this woman, Nalan Shisan, was indeed very tempting.

But for this kind of person, at most they would just want a taste; they definitely wouldn't let her become their woman.

But when the price reached four hundred catties, everyone gave up on this idea.

Who would be so idle as to spend four hundred catties of spirit stones to buy a piece of trash that had been visited by countless people.

"Four hundred and ten catties!"

Xu Mu raised his hand, slightly altering his voice.

The surrounding crowd turned their heads and saw Xu Mu's figure.

It turned out to be the Jiuli Tribe.

It must be said that the Jiuli Tribe was the most top-tier existence among the foreign tribes, bar none.

Whether it was their past foundation or their current strongest experts, they were an existence that other foreign tribes could not reach.

Seeing the Jiuli Tribe bidding, no one around dared to continue competing.

Of course, Nalan Shisan had killed many people from the Jiuli and Sky Demon tribes back in the day. Falling into the hands of the Jiuli Tribe, she would surely beg for life and wish for death in vain.

"Good! Four hundred and ten catties, is there any higher?"

The middle-aged man on the stage smiled and looked around.

Below the stage, Wu Tian's expression was plain. He had absolutely no interest in this disgusting woman who swung both ways.

"It seems there are no higher bids, so come on up."

The middle-aged man on the stage looked at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu walked over and took out four hundred and ten catties of spirit stones in full; the spirit stone he had carved the array on earlier was among them.

Just like before, after these people finished weighing, they took the spirit stones and left.

Xu Mu collected all the remaining spirit stones.

"Now this woman is yours. Do you want to kill her, release her, or cripple her?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"I want you to control her and temporarily stop her from moving. I need her to swallow my Gu worm."

Xu Mu took out a small medicine bottle from his body.

The crowd below all burst into laughter. As expected of the Jiuli Tribe, truly ruthless enough.

This showed he had no intention of letting Nalan Shisan die easily.

"Simple!"

The middle-aged man pressed his hand on the vine cage.

Vines suddenly extended from the cage, turning into countless tentacles that completely entangled Nalan Shisan, leaving only her mouth exposed.

Nalan Shisan struggled continuously but couldn't break free at all.

Xu Mu jumped onto the stage, poured the contents of the medicine bottle into her mouth, and then whispered in Nalan Shisan's ear.

"Nalan Shisan, from now on, be my dog."

When saying this, Xu Mu did not disguise his voice, intending to remind her of his true identity.

The middle-aged man on the stage didn't notice any clues; after all, he wasn't familiar with Xu Mu.

Xu Mu's goal was simply to avoid being discovered by Wu Tian.

"Alright, untie her. I can now control her at will."

Xu Mu looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man nodded, and the vines entangling Nalan Shisan all scattered.

Nalan Shisan stared at Xu Mu in front of her and revealed a trace of a smile. She had thought Xu Mu was going to ignore her.

She hadn't expected him to spend four hundred catties of spirit stones for her.

[Affection +10]

"Let's go!"

After Xu Mu spoke, he took Nalan Shisan and returned to Fu Jinyu's side.

The corners of Nalan Shisan's mouth curled up slightly, and she followed obediently behind Xu Mu.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd didn't say much.

Although everyone wanted to kill the Demon Empress Nalan Shisan, her talent was obvious to all.

This Jiuli tribesman in front of them didn't kill her but chose to control her instead, which was also considered a method.

In the future, he could still use Nalan Shisan to do things. It had to be said, this Jiuli tribesman was indeed quite resourceful.

"Next is the last item of today, a member of the White Stone Tribe."

The middle-aged man on the stage pointed to the last cage.

The woman in the cage still maintained her previous posture, sitting inside with her hands propping up her cheeks, smiling as she scanned the surroundings.

"White Stone Tribe?"

Xu Mu rubbed his chin in deep thought. He remembered that there was no relevant introduction to this in the previous plot.

Not only him, but many people around were also somewhat surprised.

But looking at their expressions, it was obvious they knew of this race.

"They are similar to the Jiuli Tribe. Most of the White Stone Tribe submitted to the Yan and Huang Emperors very early on. When they fought against the Jiuli Tribe back then, Yan and Huang had a powerful branch of White Stone tribesmen under their command. Later, through integration, they completely merged into the Yanhuang race long ago."

Nalan Shisan sat beside Xu Mu and whispered, "However, there is still a portion of the White Stone Tribe that refused to submit to Yanhuang. Instead, they believe those who defected to Yanhuang are traitors and have sworn to slay all half-blood White Stone tribesmen."

Xu Mu glanced at Nalan Shisan. "And the outcome?"

"Do you even need to ask? That group of pureblood White Stone tribesmen was nearly driven to extinction. When the descendants of Yanhuang hold sacrifices, they use their lives as offerings."

Nalan Shisan chuckled lightly. "As for other foreign tribes, they also like to trample on them. You could say that pureblood White Stone tribesmen were like rats crossing the street in ancient times."

Hearing this, Xu Mu finally realized the truth. No wonder this woman looked like she wanted to kill everyone present.

This grudge was indeed massive.

"I bid one hundred catties of spirit stones."

Wu Tian was the first to raise his hand.
