PS: As for the last chapter, find a way to read it yourself! It’s been greatly revamped!

“Friend Xu, I hope there won’t be a next time!”

Having taken the healing pill and used two Revival Talismans, the fully recovered Lan Shijin said, her face burning red with embarrassment.

Xu Mu was speechless.

It was you who started it, so why does it seem like it’s my fault?

“Rest assured, Friend Lan!”

As long as you don’t make a move, I definitely won’t!

Lan Shijin tidied her robe and tapped a couple of Purification Charms on her body. Recovering her noble demeanor, she headed towards the cave’s entrance.

Xu Mu cleaned up the water stains on the ground and followed her out.

“Sister Lan, are you all right now?”

“Yes.”

“That’s great!”

Ye Yingying pulled on Lan Shi jin’s arm, brimming with joy.

However, Leng Yuening looked at Xu Mu with a strange expression.

Xu Mu could only respond with a bitter smile.

Unfortunately, apart from opening up a new territory this time, there were no particular achievements. It was somewhat regrettable!

The next day.

Everyone packed up their things, left the cave, and under the morning star, set off for Liyang Sect.

Xu Mu guessed that the blue wolf had genuinely abandoned its mate and offspring, so he didn’t bother wasting more time looking for it.

They had already wasted too much time!

For every day they stayed here, Xu Mu couldn’t shake an uneasy feeling.

This time they got lucky by encountering a monster beast they could handle. But what if they meet a tier five or tier six next time?

So it’s better to get to Liyang Sect as soon as possible!

After a day’s journey, in the evening, everyone cleaned up a spot, set up tents, and after eating, everyone rested.

Xu Mu still had the first watch of the night.

He grilled meat while eating and refuelling.

As the night grew deeper, and the moon climbed up to the treetops, Leng Yuening secretly crawled out of the tent.

Her black hair was simply tied behind her head. She had a cold face and a graceful figure. Under the dim moonlight, she looked like a fairy from the Lunar Palace.

“I’ll help you!”

Leng Yuening reached out her jade hand, took the blue wolf meat from Xu Mu, and proficiently placed it over the fire to grill.

She used to sneak out to help frequently.

However, it was different this time. They had breached the barriers between them, and while they were grilling, it turned into a “roasting session” of another kind!

To avoid waking the others, Xu Mu had to deploy the 108 moves of Yin and Yang Harmony. Soon, Leng Yuening was out of strength. She gave him a resentful look before obediently going back to rest.

“Hmph!”

Just after Leng Yuening had left, there was a cold snort behind him, startling Xu Mu.

Turning around abruptly, he spotted Lan Shijin in a black outfit standing behind him, her face slightly cold.

II

F-Friend Lan!!!

II

Did she see what happened just now?

Xu Mu’s scalp tingled, and his hairs stood on end.

It would be fine if others found out, but being caught by his future mother-in-law would be too awkward!

Ignoring him, Lan Shijin sat down by the fire pit and stirred the fire with a stick. The two grapefruits under her black outfit jiggled with her movements.

“Friend Lan, about me and Ning’er…”

“I’m not interested in hearing about this!”

Just as Xu Mu was about to explain, Lan Shijin cut him off, her eyes burning into him.

“Uhh?”

Xu Mu was baffled.

If you don’t want to hear about that, then what do you want to hear?

Wait, she was behind me just now, how did I not notice at all?

And also, I don’t recall Lan Shijin owning a black…

Lan Shijin didn’t dwell on it but extended her delicate fingers and grabbed onto his wrist.

“Help me check again!”

Xu Mu wanted to call out to Lan Shijin, but before he knew it, she was gone.

“Why did you run off so fast? Are you going to have me guard the area alone tonight?”

Xu Mu couldn’t help but grumble in his heart.

Exhausted, he laid down on the ground to rest.

Not long after, he felt someone come out of a tent, step by step, moving towards him.

“Friend Xu, what’s the matter with you?”

Lan Shijin looked puzzled at Xu Mu who was lying on the ground.

“It’s all because of you!” Xu Mu tilted his head to look at her, speaking gruffly.

You may not know this, but my Blood Replacement Realm body nearly had its waist snapped!

“Because of me? What do you mean?”

Lan Shijin furrowed her shapely brows, her face filled with confusion.

She should have woken up on time, right?

“What else could it be? Of course, it was… Wait, have you changed your clothes?”

Xu Mu suddenly sat up, staring wide-eyed at Lan Shijin.

At this moment, Lan Shijin was wearing a green robe and exuded a noble and dignified aura.

“Changed clothes? I’ve been in this outfit all along! I never took it…

Lan Shijin’s face suddenly turned red as she recalled yesterday’s treatment.

This jerk didn’t do it on purpose, did he?!

Feeling annoyed, Lan Shijin decided to ignore him.

“Friend Lan, do you have a black outfit?” Xu Mu asked persistently.

“Why are you asking about this?”

Lan Shijin furrowed her brows.

“Just tell me if you have one or not?”

Xu Mu’s tone was urgent.

“No! Friend Xu, have you gone mad? Who would buy black clothes without any reason?”

Lan Shijin glanced at Xu Mu, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

“Are you sure?”

Xu Mu’s face had turned somewhat pale.

“Why would I lie to you about this?” Lan Shijin replied impatiently.

Cold sweat started to form on Xu Mu’s forehead.

Could it be that the woman just now wasn’t Lan Shijin?

Who else could it be?

No wonder I didn’t notice her approaching from behind!

He himself had a flaming sense comparable to the Divine Intent of the Foundation Establishment Stage and after breaking through the Blood Replacement Realm with his Body Refinement, he had developed a miraculous sense of blood and Qi. He could detect even the slightest living creature approaching within thirty feet, let alone a human being.

Could it be a demonic cult member?

Xu Mu looked around at the endless dark forest and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Did he just deal with a demonic cult member?!

He just reminded himself yesterday not to be careless, but he let his guard down today!

Regret filled Xu Mu’s heart.

Wait!

Xu Mu reached for the Talisman of Repelling Evil on his chest.

All he felt was a wisp of black ash!

Fuck!

It really was those ghostly things!

“Friend Xu, are you alright?”

Lan Shijin looked at Xu Mu, who was wearing an uncertain expression, and asked, puzzled.

“No, I’m fine!” Xu Mu wiped off his cold sweat and squeezed out a smile.

“Then, you should go and rest! You can leave this place to me!”

“No, I’m fine! I’ll just stay with you a bit longer!” Xu Mu laughed it off.

He was afraid that woman would return, and with Lan Shijin’s strength, she couldn’t resist. Even he

Remembered abruptly about how he seemed to lose his strength to resist when she grabbed his wrist.

No way! No way! It must be that I was careless!

If I’m cautious, I definitely won’t be fooled!

I’ve even slain a tier four Monster Beast!

Xu Mu comforted himself internally.

“Stay with me?”

Lan Shijin looked even more perplexed.

This brat doesn’t have any evil thoughts, does he?

I’m Ning’er’s mother!

Last time was an accident, she absolutely wouldn’t allow a repeat.

“No need for that! We’ve been traveling together for a month now, a few more days won’t make a difference!”

Lan Shijin’s attitude conveyed a clear and abrupt refusal.

Seeing Lan Shijin’s expression, Xu Mu knew she had misunderstood.

But, there was no point in explaining such things.

He finally decided to let it go!

If he stayed in his tent, he could still detect any movement. If he couldn’t, then even staying outside wouldn’t help either.

“Alright! Just be careful on your own! If anything comes up, let me know immediately!”

Xu Mu got up and went back to his tent.

Inside the tent, Ye Yingying and Little Ling’er had already fallen asleep. However, the white wolf that Little Ling’er was holding woke up at the noise and glanced at Xu Mu. Afterward, it lay down and continued to sleep.

Xu Mu sat down cross-legged and started to meditate. He let his mind wander and expanded his senses to the fullest.

The night passed, and the mysterious woman didn’t appear again.

The next morning was sunny and bright, but Xu Mu’s mood was not as good as the weather. The incident from last night cast a big shadow on his heart.

Another day passed, and the journey was rather uneventful, other than encountering a few tier one Monster Beasts.

Everyone was in a good mood, except for Xu Mu, who remained quiet.

“My husband, what’s the matter? You seem unhappy.”

Ye Yingying noticed the peculiar behavior of Xu Mu and asked curiously.

Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening also looked over.

Lan Shijin thought, could it be because of my attitude last night?

Leng Yuening wondered, could it be because I ended things too quickly yesterday?

Being unaware of the convoluted thoughts of the two, Xu Mu just showed a wry smile and brushed the question aside.

“No problem! No problem! I was just pondering over some issues related to skills!”

“Oh!”

Obedient Ye Yingying never questioned any further.

At night, they set up camp.

After everyone took some rest, Leng Yuening crawled out.

“Ning’er, let’s take a break today, I’m a bit tired!”

“Uh! Then I’ll stay with you!”

“Well, alright! Just for a while!”

“Okay!”

Leng Yuening leaned on Xu Mu’s shoulder and watched the moon for a while. When she started feeling sleepy, Xu Mu persuaded her to return.

“Tonight, there won’t be any, right?”

Xu Mu sat there, nerves taut, praying inwardly.

“Any what?”

A chilling jade hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Xu Mu stiffened, and slowly turned his head to look. His pupils contracted sharply.

Dressed in black, “Lan Shijin”, with lips as red as blood and skin as white as jade, was looking at him with a seductive gaze and a charming smile..
