“Friend Zhang, it’s been a while since we last met, how have you been?”
“What brings you here?”
Opening the defensive array of the cave dwelling, Zhang Tianluo, looking at Xu Mu standing at the door, was apprehensive yet irritated.
It couldn’t be helped, anyone who gets knocked out upon meeting someone would not be thrilled.
If it weren’t for fear that Xu Mu had done something to her, she would have run away already.
“Can’t I come?” Xu Mu smiled.
“Hmph! Speak your mind! If you want to fart, just do it!”
Even though she knew that she was no match for Xu Mu, Zhang Tianluo still acted haughty, just like a spoiled little princess.
“Shouldn’t you invite me in for a cup of tea first?” Xu Mu asked, smiling without anger.
“Hmph!”
Zhang Tianluo snorted coldly, and could only step aside to let him in.
Because she knew, even if she wanted to stop him, she couldn’t.
The gap in their powers was too wide. If he really wanted to kill her, it was nothing more than a matter of a moment.
Though she had bought some soul defensive magic artifacts during this period, she still had no confidence when facing Xu Mu.
Once inside the cave dwelling, Xu Mu acted as though he was in his own home, making tea and drinking water at his leisure, to Zhang Tianluo’s annoyance.
“Speak up, I need to cultivate.”
Zhang Tianluo urged again.
“Don’t rush!”
Xu Mu gulped down the freshly brewed tea, leaves and all.
This unrefined action caused Zhang Tianluo’s eye to twitch.
“I want to ask about the situation of the Sea Race in the vicinity.”
“This is a shallow water area, where would the Sea Race come from?” Zhang Tianluo’s eyes flashed as she replied coldly.
“Let’s not beat around the bush, if there are no Sea Race around, where did your sea bottom resources come from?”
“I collected those myself from the deep sea!”
“While you could collect regular materials, surely several hundreds or thousands of catties of sea grains couldn’t also be collected bit by bit!”
Sea grains are the most common crops in the sea, and collecting them personally with Zhang Tianluo’s foundation establishment stage cultivation level would be comparable to ordinary people picking sesame seeds from the ground – it’s simply not worth it.
Clearly, there are large quantities of low-level Sea Race providing for her.
“Say whatever you want, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Zhang Tianluo stubbornly denied anything, refusing to admit it.
It’s not her fault for denying things, it’s a matter of life and death.
Because this trade channel is her lifeline.
Her achievements today are all thanks to this trade channel.
If the Sea Race she trades with finds out that it was her who leaked the information, not only would this channel be finished, she might also be pursued to death by the Sea Race.
Not only would her life be at risk, but her future cultivation methods and upgrade resources would be gone, which would be no different than killing her.
So facing Xu Mu’s questioning, she clenched her teeth and refused to let go.
“Friend, don’t rush, don’t you want to know the price I’m offering?”
Xu Mu said, pretending to be profound.
“No matter what you say, I won’t tell you, even if you kill me.” Zhang Tianluo said, her chin raised in defiance.
This was her laying her cards on the table, fixing a firm stance.
“Friend, why don’t you take a look first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mu’s aura began to change dramatically.
Zhang Tianluo, sensing danger, quickly rose to her feet and summoned her protective magic artifact.
She thought Xu Mu was going to attack.
But in the next moment, she saw Xu Mu’s figure begin to transform dramatically.
From human, he quickly turned into a half-man, half-shark creature of the Sea Race.
“What illusion spell are you using?”
Zhang Tianluo asked in shock.
She used her Divine Intent to scan several times, but found no flaws.
