Chapter 463: Chapter 431 – Astonishing_1
The reason Xu Mu was so indulgent toward Yue was largely because he had received her kindness when he first arrived in this world.
Another reason, of course, was that Yue was simple-minded, and he was quite fond of her.
After finishing dinner in this warm atmosphere, Xu Mu arranged for them to rest for the night.
Perhaps due to the recent rescue, Yue insisted on sleeping in the same room as Xu Mu.
When Xu Mu first arrived, Yue had taken care of him by his bedside when he was in a coma, and later they slept in the same room. She didn’t think this request was unreasonable.
However, she forgot one thing, back then Nan Hu was also in the room and Xu Mu had lost both his hands and feet, no one would have thought otherwise.
Now, Nan Hu naturally would not dare to share a room with Xu Mu, and of course, there was no need for them to do so.
The reason the three of them had to squeeze into one room back then was because there was nowhere else to stay. Now, the small courtyard where Xu Mu lives is ten times larger than the cabin they used to live in.
If Nan Hu refused to stay, then Xu Mu and Yue would be alone, and with his prosthetics in place, even if nothing happened, it would be scandalous if it got out—
“That would be great!” Nan Hu thought secretly.
When he first met Xu Mu, he was worried that Xu Mu would have designs on Yue. After all, Xu Mu at that time was just a crippled teenager without any cultivation, while Yue, on the other hand, was a descendant of the Martial God. Although she was in trouble, her status was there. Unless it was the eldest son of a Martial Arts Grandmaster’s family, she was completely out of their league.
Now not only does Xu Mu have cultivation, but he also has an entire nation bowing to him.
If the two of them could form a relationship, Yue’s future safety would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
He almost couldn’t hold back his applause at Yue’s sudden request. It was help from heaven. He had always wondered how to get closer to Xu Mu.
Although he once saved Xu Mu, considering the latter’s current level of cultivation, Xu Mu likely would have been fine even if they hadn’t helped.
So the merit of having saved his life was significantly reduced.
Now that Xu Mu had saved them from the Yuan Tong Business Firm, it can be considered that Xu Mu repaid his kindness, or rather, they owe him now.
Since they no longer owe each other any favors, then Xu Mu could ask them to leave without a complaint.
However, considering their current strength, they would probably be captured by others as soon as they leave Xu Mu’s protection.
The reason they were able to escape pursuit before is that they were hidden and the enemy was in the open. Now that they are exposed and everyone knows, escape is almost impossible.
Even a Grand Martial Master could easily catch up with them and subdue them. Their only way out of this predicament now is to cling to Xu Mu.
If they could tie the knot and form a relationship, there would be nothing better, and considering Yue’s current status, even if the Martial God’s family still existed, Yue would be a match for him.
Now he was just worried that Xu Mu might reject Yue’s request.
“Of course, no problem!”
Xu Mu nodded and agreed.
“That’s great!”
Yue held his arm happily.
Perhaps due to her dressing up, compared to the innocent and pure country girl she was when they first met, she now seemed more pure and mischievous, like a clear lotus.
Hearing that Xu Mu agreed to stay in the same room with her, the looks Xiao Tian Yuan, Yin Wen and others gave Yue instantly changed.
There had been quite a few beauties from various families these days, each one could be considered a rare beauty, and they were far superior to the girl before them.
But Xu Mu never gave them a second glance. They originally thought Xu Mu had no interest in women.
Now it seems he has someone in his heart.
Even if he doesn’t have those feelings for her, their status is far better than theirs just by his attitude towards Yue.
This made them look at Yue with a kind of reverence, as if looking at their grandmother.
Even the way they treated Nan Hu became much more polite, adopting a very low posture.
Although Yue requested to stay in the same room with him, she did not have any other intentions. They each slept on a separate bed, much like they used to when they lived in the cabin.
Yue was merely seeking a sense of security. She had taken a liking to Xu Mu, but not to that extent yet.
By the next day, after the three of them had breakfast, Xu Mu was preparing to take them to the armory.
He originally despised the beast blood essence from the National Treasury of Daxia, but now he brought these two there, simply wanting to help enhance their strength on the side.
He also wanted to see if there was anything special about Yue’s Martial God bloodline.
Yesterday, when he was treating her, he had examined Yue’s body and found nothing abnormal.
He only felt that her body’s vitality was relatively strong. If she did not cultivate, her lifespan should be much longer than that of an ordinary person.
If she were to join the Cultivation World, she should possess an excellent talent for cultivating the wooden attribute Martial Method.
He wanted to observe the Martial God bloodline further during the bloodline fusion process.
However, he didn’t hold much hope for the outcome, as this bloodline has been passed down for 500 years. The bloodline in Yue was already very diluted, and how much divine nature was left was uncertain.
As for Nan Hu, he had originally reached the realm of the War King, but his beast spirit was shattered during battle and he did not receive timely treatment, which resulted in the loss of all his cultivation.
It was precisely because of this that Nan Hu, who was only in his thirties, looked as old as someone in their fifties or sixties.
Now, as long as he can find a suitable wild beast, Nan Hu should be able to quickly recover his cultivation, and perhaps even advance further.
In fact, Nan Hu’s talent may be even higher than that of Yin Wen.
If the two of them have the strength to defend themselves in the future, he would have returned the favor whether they stay or leave.
“Uncle Nan Hu, what kind of wild beast did you originally fuse with?” Xu Mu asked on the way.
“It was a white-feathered phoenix!” replied Nan Hu.
Upon hearing the answer, Xu Mu was slightly surprised.
He had rarely encountered people who merged with flying wild beasts. Nan Hu was the first one he met.
The reason why Nan Hu was able to escape with Yue was probably largely due to the flying wild beast he had fused with.
Martial artists who merged with flying wild beasts indeed had a great advantage in escaping.
Xu Mu did not pursue further and turned his gaze towards Yue instead, asking: “Yue, what kind of wild beast would you like to merge with?”
Due to their constant hiding and running in the past years and being financially strapped, Yue had not fused with a beast spirit yet.
“I want to be as powerful as Elder Brother Mu. Can I merge with the same kind of wild beast as Elder Brother Mu?” Yue hoped.
As for Yue’s answer, Nan Hu wished he could give her a thumbs up.
He usually saw her as a clear and foolish figure, but at a critical juncture, she always made ingenious moves, no matter whether it was sharing a room with Xu Mu last night or her reply now.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Xu Mu shook his head helplessly.
He used his own blood and Qi as a foundation, and although it appeared similar on the surface to the existing system, there was a fundamental difference, which made it impossible to teach others.
“Oh! What kind of beast does Elder Brother Mu want me to merge with?!”
Yue continued.
This time, Nan Hu secretly gave her kudos in his heart. That response was simply brilliant.
Xu Mu’s cultivation was far beyond the two of them. No doubt, the best choice would be to have him make the selection for them.
Moreover, since it was his choice, he would certainly do his best to assist them in the future. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed if they turned out too weak.
Xu Mu gave a helpless wry smile. This little girl was quite slippery.
Of course, he knew that Yue was not being slippery. She was simply overly dependent on him.
“I remember your ancestor seemed to have merged with a plant-like wild beast?”
As soon as Xu Mu said this, the faces of both Nan Hu and Xiao Tian Yuan changed slightly.
