Issuing a Pass for Fu Jinyu

Xu Mu looked at Shi Fumeng and merely gave a slight nod.

He felt no significant emotional stirrings for this woman.

If one sentence could describe her, it would be that she had a good hand of cards but played them terribly.

Xu Mu had originally given her a chance, but she only focused on immediate benefits and failed to cherish it.

Shi Fumeng's gaze fell on the others beside Xu Mu, which indeed verified one thing: he truly had no shortage of beautiful women around him.

And her looks, which she considered her strong suit, did not stand out at all by Xu Mu's side.

Other than this passable advantage, she had nothing that could bring Xu Mu any so-called emotional value.

"Are you... here to watch the fun this time, or are you planning to participate in the competition?"

Shi Fumeng tried hard to find a topic of conversation.

"I don't know yet, it depends. If there aren't many experts, I'll join in and try my luck."

Xu Mu waved his hand at Shi Fumeng. "We'll be heading over first."

"Uh... okay."

Shi Fumeng nodded gently.

Looking at Xu Mu's back, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.

Recently, matters concerning Xu Mu had severely affected her.

The regret in her heart had long become a piercing pain.

"Xu Mu, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Just then, a woman wearing a black robe and sunglasses walked over from a distance.

She was tall, taller than any other woman present.

"How did you get here so fast?"

Xu Mu walked toward Fu Jinyu.

"After you called me, I came over ahead of time. After all, it's a long journey, what if something held me up?"

Fu Jinyu said calmly.

"Makes sense."

Xu Mu nodded slightly, then said, "Anyway, there are still a few days left. Let's go get a room first."

"I've already booked a room, but I didn't expect you to have so many people with you."

Fu Jinyu said, scanning the crowd behind Xu Mu.

"It's fine, we'll just go book a few more rooms."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

"You're thinking too naively. Unless you have some connections with Kunlun Mountain and can stay directly in the inner guest rooms, you can only stay outside. The rooms here have almost all been booked up long ago."

Fu Jinyu said to Xu Mu, "You can go to my hotel and see if there are any vacant rooms left."

Xu Mu was full of surprise. He had arrived so many days early, yet the rooms were already gone.

It seemed he had still underestimated the number of people attending this grand ceremony.

Xu Mu and the others followed Fu Jinyu's footsteps, heading together toward a hotel in the distance.

This was a desolate mountainous area. Apart from this town, there were no other signs of human habitation for a dozen kilometers around.

The buildings here were not tall. The hotel Fu Jinyu stayed in only had five floors in total.

Xu Mu arrived at the front desk. Before he could speak, the woman there showed an apologetic smile.

"Sir, I'm sorry, our rooms are already full."

"Not even one room left? I don't see many people here."

Xu Mu had just used his perception and found that most of the rooms here were empty.

"Sir, you might not know, but those people booked in advance and have already paid."

The woman smiled.

"Come up with me."

Fu Jinyu glanced at Xu Mu and the others.

Xu Mu nodded gently. He didn't care much about the accommodation issue. At worst, he could just sleep on the floor; anyway, he had bedding in his storage space.

After the group arrived at the standard room, they saw that the size was decent, enough for several people to rest here.

Dai Xingluo sat on the sofa to the side and stretched hard. "Walking five kilometers feels pretty tiring."

"Little Mu, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Xu Ningbing looked at Fu Jinyu in front of her.

Fu Jinyu also took off her black robe, revealing the casual clothes underneath.

When everyone present saw the two fierce beasts hidden beneath the black robe, their expressions all turned solemn.

Almost simultaneously, they looked down at their own chests, wanting to compare.

Meng Wanyue's expression didn't change much. Anyway, everyone's was bigger than hers.

Tong Guoguo and Dai Xingluo looked down at themselves and found that they were actually outshone.

Especially Dai Xingluo.

She originally thought she was well-endowed enough, but unexpectedly, she had now become a small shrimp by comparison.

Xu Ningbing was only a little surprised. She had finally met a woman who was on par with herself.

She had never considered the thunderous assets on her chest as her advantage.

"Everyone, introduce yourselves. We are all on the same side."

Xu Mu took the lead and pointed at Xu Ningbing, "Let's start with you."

"I am Xu Ningbing, Little Mu's older sister."

Xu Mu said calmly.

"My name is Dai Xingluo, Brother's fiancée."

"Fiancée my foot!"

Meng Wanyue glared at Dai Xingluo, then said, "I am Meng Wanyue, Brother Mu's younger sister."

"Tong Guoguo."

Tong Guoguo didn't know what her relationship with Xu Mu was either, so she simply stated her name.

Besides, Fu Jinyu already knew her.

"I am Fu Jinyu, a member of the Heavenly Demon Tribe."

Fu Jinyu took off her sunglasses, revealing the unique eyes of the Heavenly Demon Tribe.

Seeing these eyes, Xu Ningbing's expression immediately became grave. "You are an alien race?"

She had always heard Tong Guoguo talk about it before, because fundamentally, Tong Guoguo also possessed alien blood.

For example, her eyes and hair were red.

But Fu Jinyu was different. The whites of her eyes were pitch black, making her look like a vengeful ghost.

"That's right."

Fu Jinyu nodded. "I am indeed of an alien race."

"Don't worry, this alien even saved my life. She is absolutely one of us."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Meng Wanyue secretly clenched her fists. She also wanted to be like this woman, becoming strong enough in the future to save Xu Mu's life.

Xu Ningbing originally wanted to tell Xu Mu to keep his distance from this alien, as her eyes were terrifying after all.

Even if Xu Mu agreed, their old man, Xu Shou, definitely wouldn't.

But just as Xu Mu said, she had saved his life. If she asked Xu Mu to stay away, wouldn't that be ungrateful?

Just then, a message arrived on Xu Mu's phone.

He took it out and took a look, finding that it was from Jiang Huihui. It said that they had arrived at the location and were currently at the entrance of the Kunlun Mountain ruins.

Xu Mu replied with a brief message, then stood up and looked at Fu Jinyu. "The rest of you stay here and rest for a while. Sister Empress and I are going out for a bit."

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Ningbing asked curiously.

"To get a pass for Sister Empress. We'll be right back."

After saying that, Xu Mu glanced at Fu Jinyu, and the two left together.

...

After leaving the hotel, Xu Mu, led by Fu Jinyu, hurried straight toward the back mountain.

On the outskirts of the back mountain, many stone palaces had been built.

In a flat area, a large crowd of people had gathered.

Through his perception, Xu Mu noticed from afar that Jiang Huihui and Jiang Sheng were standing over there.

"Huihui!"

After hurrying over, Xu Mu gave a slight nod to Jiang Sheng beside her. "Greetings, Senior."

"Xu Mu is here. Will you be participating in the competition this time too?"

Jiang Sheng looked at Xu Mu with a smile. "This time won't be very friendly to you. Formations might barely be useful, but alchemy won't be of any use at all. The Martial Champion Tournament, just as the name implies, is purely about martial prowess this time."
