Liyang City
Cold winds blew outside the window, but inside the house, augmented by a formation, it was warm like spring.
“You’re about to give birth, you really don’t have to do this!”
Watching Ye Yingying eating again, Xu Mu felt a bit helpless.
He clearly just wanted to keep her company, but she always misunderstood his intentions.
“It’s okay! As long as my husband is happy!”
Ye Yingying snuggled over like a little greedy cat.
The two of them chatted intimately for a while, only stopping when Little Ling’er’s voice sounded from outside the door, calling them to eat.
“Dad! Mom! You both are so lazy! Shame!”
Standing at the door, with two little goat horns tied in her hair and already two years old, Little Ling’er pointed at her little chubby face and laughed.
Next to her, the half-human tall white wolf stretched lazily, then obediently walked to Xu Mu’s side, rubbing against his trouser leg.
Compared to Little Ling’er who played with it every day, it still favored Xu Mu more.
Perhaps, it was because the first person it saw when it was on the brink of death was Xu Mu.
“What do you know, young lady!”
Ye Yingying, with her blushing face, twisted her ear.
Compared to before, Ye Yingying had become imposingly dignified.
“Madam! Please, stop! It hurts! I admit my mistake! I admit my mistake!”
Little Ling’er cringed and pleaded for mercy.
She knew that in this house, seeking help from Aunt Leng and Aunt Lan might work, but going to her dad for help is no good, especially in front of her mother.
“Hmph!”
Ye Yingying snorted coldly, pinching her little face before letting her go.
“Eat up! Let’s go downstairs for a meal!”
“Oh!”
Little Ling’er, rubbing her little ear, grabbed the white wolf, and with a flip, she rode on its back The white wolf took a few leaps, taking her to the first floor.
Xu Mu helped Ye Yingying up and slowly they went downstairs.
Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening had already taken their seats in the living room. As for Ouyang Ying and the others, they had stopped dining with them long ago.
The dining table didn’t hold too many dishes, only a casserole of red rice porridge that was as dark as ink.
The grains of rice were crystal-clear like red jade. Each grain was half a centimeter long, looking like red feathers.
This was the rare Phoenix Feather Rice, which was even more valuable than the Mysterious Crystal Rice, grown near a volcano. One catty cost a Medium-grade Spirit Stone. Moreover, it was seldom available in the market.
Xu Mu bought a bit because of Chi Feiyan, specifically for Leng Yuening and Ye Yingying’s supplementary nourishment.
Perhaps it was because they were eating more expensive food, that Ouyang Ying and the others stopped coming over out of embarrassment.
As for the other two, it was indeed a waste to eat these types of things.
After eating, he played with little Ling’er and the three women for a while. Just as Xu Mu was going to go upstairs to cultivate, Zhang Yu came puffing and panting.
“Sir, there’s someone at the door looking for you!”
“Alright!”
Xu Mu got up and followed Zhang Yu to the door.
Not sure from what day it started, but this little guy started calling him with a respectful honorific.
At the door stood a cultivator clad in red armor, his brows and eyes sharp like a knife. This was the Patrol Team Captain Yu Heng.
“Friend Yu, would you like to sit for a while?” Xu Mu asked politely.
“No need!
Having known Xu Mu for a while now, understanding his character, Yu Heng no longer insisted.
He took out ten bottles of Mysterious Yuan Pill from his storage pouch and handed them over.
Yu Heng received the pills and, without inspecting them, put them away. Then he handed a bill, which could be used to withdraw Spirit Stones, to Xu Mu. He then cupped his fists, saying, “If Friend Xu encounters any trouble in the future, feel free to come to the patrol team to find me.”
“Friend Yu is too kind!”
A smile appeared on Xu Mu’s face.
Wasn’t his selling of pills to Yu Heng, at the price he would sell to the pharmacy, for this promise?
As for the rules of the Pill Master Guild, could it check all the way up to Liyang Sect?
“I have some matters to attend to, let’s chat another time!”
“Friend Yu, feel free to go about your duties!”
Yu Heng turned and quickly left. Xu Mu let Zhang Yu close the door, then he returned to the courtyard.
At dusk, Xu Mu, holding several letters sent from the Cui Ling Market, frowned deeply.
“Three fewer than last time. Looks like someone is indeed attacking the cultivators of White River City!”
As for who was doing this?
The answer was apparent.
“Luo Family!”
Xu Mu was never a passive person.
Having learned about the situation from Chi Feiyan and realizing the risk of exposure, he quietly returned to Cui Ling Market and made some arrangements.
Through bribing the Liyang Sect disciples in charge of household registrations, he obtained some information on the cultivators of White River City. Then he disguised himself and approached them, spending spirit stones to get them to help collect information and send him a letter summarizing the information every few days.
Originally, he just wanted to monitor the Luo Family’s actions, just in case.
However, he didn’t expect that starting half a month ago, the number of letters he received started to decrease.
Xu Mu initially thought it was an accident.
After all, not only did these people help him collect information, some of them also ventured into the jungle for adventure, so accidents were quite normal.
