Chapter 231: Chapter 200 Puppet_l
The servants who came to welcome me were not living beings, but a series of puppets.
The appearance of these puppets leaves Xu Mu at a loss for words.
Models like those with human heads and beastly bodies, those with three heads and six arms were tolerable, even ones that are covered with heads or arms could be somewhat acceptable.
But, what’s the intention behind creating these puppets with tentacles all over their bodies?
Is it to disgust the opponent to death?
Xu Mu thought to himself indignantly.
Though he has seen a lot over the years, these bizarre puppets are something he has witnessed for the first time.
The strength of these puppets is not significant, most of them at the tier three & four level, comparable to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage and the initial Foundation Establishment phase.
These puppets, at their level, are not even qualified to be expendable to him. He doesn’t understand why the woman in front of him would create so many of them, instead of recruiting a few practical Qi Cultivators.
As if she read his thoughts, the woman explained, “I made these puppets to play around when I get extremely bored. If you like them, I can give you a few!” “Thank you for your kind offer!” Xu Mu refused, “No need!”
He couldn’t appreciate these abstract puppets at all, taking them back with him might get him laughed to death.
“Why have you become so reserved?”
Seeing Xu Mu’s reaction, the woman giggled and teased him.
“You used to take the initiative!”
Those were incidents from several decades ago, don’t make things up!
Xu Mu felt frustrated. In the past, he only teased others. He never expected that one day he would be the one who got teased.
The woman only stopped teasing Xu Mu after a while. She waved her hand to dismiss the puppets in front of them and led Xu Mu alone into the palace.
The corridor was empty. Apart from occasionally encountering a bizarre, inferior puppet, Xu Mu didn’t see a single living being, not even an animal.
Though he was curious, Xu Mu did not ask further.
The more he interacted with her, the more he sensed her extraordinariness. The less he probed, the better, as knowing more could lead to a quicker death.
After walking for a while, the woman stopped in front of a stone door. This was the deepest part of the palace. The woman used a specific hand Jue to open the stone door.
The space inside was not large, only about ten square meters in area. The walls were covered with formation talisman, densely packed, enough to make one dizzy at a single glance.
“Stand in the middle!” she commanded.
“Can I decline, elder?”
Seeing this room, Xu Mu was beset with some unpleasant memories. He had a feeling that no good would come from going in.
“You may!”
The woman surprisingly nodded with a smile.
But before Xu Mu could rejoice, she continued, “You can leave now. I definitely won’t stop you. But forget about your daughter! I quite like the child. She can stay with me from now on!”
II II
Damn!
This is a blatant threat, but Xu Mu couldn’t disagree!
“I was just joking! Please don’t take it seriously, elder!”
Forcing a smile, Xu Mu stepped into the room and stood in the center of the formation.
“That’s more like it! Why would I, your elder, wish to hurt you? Hehe!”
The woman giggled and quickly made the Jue. In the room, countless talismans lit up.
A terrifying aura emanated from her body, converging into a leaf-shaped seal in the air. This seal then fell onto Xu Mu’s chest and melted in.
“It’s done!”
The woman heaved a sigh, as if this had cost her quite a bit of energy.
Xu Mu didn’t rush to inspect the seal. Instead, he exited the room first.
“Can the elder tell me what the matter is now?”
“No rush, I’ll explain everything once the others arrive.”
“Others?”
Xu Mu frowned. Does this mean more people were involved in this mission?
The woman didn’t divulge more, so he didn’t dare to probe further.
“Could the elder allow me to see my daughter first?”
He wanted to ensure Xu Ling’s safety first.
