Wu Tian definitely wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Weren't women all like this?
Regardless of the consequences, he would just make her his first.
As for the future, he would deal with it later. Once they had consummated their relationship, what else could a rather traditional foreign woman do?
She couldn't possibly just commit suicide, right?
Swish!
The ice on the shoulder of Yue Wangshu's blue-and-white porcelain cheongsam was torn apart.
"Wu Tian! You're courting death!"
Yue Wangshu tried to muster her physical strength, but she felt as if her meridians were completely frozen. She couldn't even release her Qi.
She could only let Wu Tian grab her clothes.
"Sister Shu! I'm sorry, I'm only doing this to save your life. I don't want it to be like this either..."
Boom!
Just then, the snow in the cave ahead was suddenly shattered.
Wu Tian immediately looked up in alert. When he saw Xu Mu appear before him, his eyes instantly turned bone-chillingly cold.
He growled, "You again! Ruining my good deeds!"
"Wu Tian, you shameless scumbag, what are you planning to do?"
Even though Xu Mu already knew Wu Tian's scheme through his perception, he still asked out loud.
"What could I be doing? Sister Shu is about to freeze to death. I want her to live!"
"Xu Mu, save me!"
Yue Wangshu immediately cried out for help.
"It looks like you're forcing her. Ruining your good deeds? You've wanted to do this for a long time, haven't you?"
Xu Mu walked toward Yue Wangshu. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here."
"No! With Sister Shu's current physical condition, if she goes out for even a moment, she might freeze to death!"
Wu Tian spread his arms, black energy coiling around his body. "Xu Mu! If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you!"
But Xu Mu turned a deaf ear and continued to stride forward.
"Xu Mu! I'll slaughter you!"
Wu Tian suddenly erupted with power and lunged toward Xu Mu.
Xu Mu snorted coldly and quickly drew his longsword. He pointed his sword at Wu Tian, and red longswords materialized around his body.
Swish, swish, swish...
The White Emperor Holy Swords flew toward Wu Tian from different directions.
Seeing this, Wu Tian elevated the black energy around his body to its limit. "Demonic Evil Art!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
These dark red longswords all drilled into the black energy and disappeared, causing no harm to Wu Tian.
Seeing this, Xu Mu was shocked. He had been very curious about this move before, and now it seemed that it probably surpassed Heaven-tier cultivation arts. It was very likely a God-tier cultivation art.
However, Xu Mu didn't panic at all. It wasn't like Wu Tian was the only one who had mastered a God-tier art.
Swish!
Xu Mu instantly appeared in front of Wu Tian, his longsword slashing toward his neck.
Seeing this, a short sword also appeared in Wu Tian's hand, blocking Xu Mu's attack.
Bang!
The Qi of both sides erupted directly at this moment, the muffled sound causing the surrounding cave walls to crack.
Wu Tian was secretly alarmed. This Xu Mu had such immense strength. Just clashing swords once made his arm go numb.
Boom!
In an instant, Xu Mu's fist had already smashed into Wu Tian's face.
Wu Tian's eyes widened as his body suddenly flew backward, smashing into the cave behind him.
[Destiny Power -20]
"Fuck!"
Wu Tian cursed inwardly. This Xu Mu's strength was indeed above his own.
Currently, his master, Li Poshan, was still in seclusion trying to break through and couldn't come out to help him. He didn't dare to clash head-on with Xu Mu.
If he died here, no one would be able to help him.
"Just as I thought. Your move seems to be able to devour Qi, but it can't devour close-combat attacks."
Xu Mu shook his fist. "I also know a thing or two about fist and kick combat."
Boom!
The ground beneath Xu Mu's feet suddenly shattered as he charged toward Wu Tian in an instant.
Seeing this, Wu Tian quickly brought his hands together.
Whoosh!
The black aura on his body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant skull that flew toward Xu Mu.
The skull was surrounded by black smoke, its gaping mouth aiming to devour Xu Mu.
Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately retreated to dodge, but this giant skull had tracking capabilities. It kept chasing Xu Mu, leaving a trail of black aura behind it.
Seeing this, Xu Mu gripped his longsword tightly and executed the Heaven-tier art, Heaven-Burning Sword Qi.
Swish!
The sword Qi passed right through the middle of the skull, slashing a fissure into the cave.
But the skull remained completely unharmed and continued to attack Xu Mu.
Seeing this, Xu Mu leaped into the air and threw a punch at the skull.
With Wu Tian's current cultivation realm, even with a God-tier art, it was impossible for him to one-shot him.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu threw his punch, only to find that the skull was like smoke, possessing no physical body at all, and Xu Mu's body plunged right into it.
Instantly, his vision went pitch black, and then countless skeleton soldiers appeared around him, lunging at him.
Xu Mu furrowed his brows and blinked, and the surrounding environment returned to normal.
He was back in the previous cave, but the cave had already been completely destroyed, and Wu Tian was long gone.
"I see, this move is a mental attack. Now it seems it's definitely a God-tier art. Even with my mental strength, I was controlled for a second or two. If it were anyone else, they would probably be done for."
Xu Mu turned around to look at Yue Wangshu.
Because the cave was broken, the cold air from outside rushed in again.
Her entire body was covered in frost.
"Can you still speak now?"
Xu Mu walked toward Yue Wangshu.
"Yes... it's just that my vision is a bit dark. I feel like I could pass out at any moment."
Yue Wangshu's eyes were almost completely frozen, and the ice on her eyelashes had spread to three or four centimeters.
"This should be your physical limit. If this continues, you will freeze to death."
Xu Mu pointed in the direction Wu Tian had just fled. "What he wanted to do to you just now is indeed one way."
"Are you saying you plan to do that too?"
Yue Wangshu asked softly.
"No, I respect everyone's choice. If you want my help, I will definitely help. If you don't want to, I absolutely won't force you."
Xu Mu paused and said, "However, if you can persuade the two women by my side, I won't need to step in."
Hearing this, Yue Wangshu said urgently, "Tong Guoguo is fine? Quickly, take me to her!"
She certainly didn't want to die, but she also didn't want to do that kind of shameful thing with a man.
Although, compared to Wu Tian, she would find Xu Mu more acceptable.
But if there was a better choice like a woman, she would definitely choose a woman.
"Alright."
Xu Mu slung Yue Wangshu over his shoulder and immediately returned to where he was staying.
Entering the snow and opening the tent, Fu Jinyu and Tong Guoguo were still keeping warm under the cotton quilts.
Seeing Xu Mu carrying another woman inside, both of their faces looked a bit displeased.
"Xu Mu, you're not planning to save her the same way you just saved us, are you?"
Fu Jinyu cast a faint glance at the woman.
"No, my relationship with her isn't that close."
Xu Mu placed Yue Wangshu on the ground. "You'd better speak for yourself."
"Tong Guoguo, we can be considered acquaintances from before. Let's snuggle together?"
Yue Wangshu said to Tong Guoguo.
"No way! I'm already freezing to death, and you want me to warm up a popsicle like you? We aren't that close."
Tong Guoguo refused on the spot.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
