Chapter 1057: Because Of The Spirit Seeking God Bug (2/2)

Based on his predictions, a woman like her would think that he was an ant and try to take his pages of the Book of Luo for herself.

”Xiangyu, you must have some misunderstanding with Da Shixiong. Da Shixiong is a very noble man with both courage and wit. I was just about to leave with him to work on a large project, why don't you come along with us?” While Wei Ru didn't know what kind of grudge the both of them had, he definitely did not want Da Shixiong to be loggerheads with his best friend, Murong Xiangyu.

Deep in his heart, he was rather fond of Murong Xiangyu, to the extent that he wanted to be dao companions with her. However, despite his multiple hints, she was still very hesitant, seemingly asking him to spend all of his energy on cultivation.

”Wei Ru, I will not leave with him. If you trust me, then come with me. We can go to roam the Leafless Forest and one day we will advance to a much higher level.” Murong Xiangyu pleaded.

This ignited a flame in Wei Ru's heart. From her words, she clearly implied that she wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. This was exactly what he wanted, so his gaze unconsciously fell on Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji wore a calm expression on his face as he spoke, ”Junior Brother Wei Ru, I'll let you make your own decision. If you come with me, you will never have to get into any trouble with this woman ever again. If you think that my words can't be trusted, then let's go our separate ways here.”

What had to be said was already on the table, hence Mo Wuji wouldn't advise Wei Ru any further. From what he saw, Wei Ru's arm had a fresh wound on it, so while he didn't know what caused it, Mo Wuji was sure that Wei Ru spent every day in the Leafless Forest in danger.

”Xiangyu, has your cultivation level has improved again? Just now when you landed, you gave off some ripples and I felt that you've become much stronger than before.” Wei Ru was one to repay kindness with gratitude and wasn't a fool at all.

His question caught Murong Xiangyu by surprise and she quickly replied, ”I experienced a breakthrough not long ago so my cultivation level is at Heavenly God Level 5.”

Upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment appeared in Wei Ru's eyes. To him, Murong Xiangyu was only second to Da Shixiong in importance. But now it was apparent that Da Shixiong was right - Murong Xiangyu was cheating him. He didn't even have to sense the ripples caused by her cultivation level as everything had been revealed through a single sentence.

After going into deep thought for a long while, Wei Ru looked up at Murong Xiangyu, ”Xiangyu, I intend to leave with my Da Shixiong. Return me my bug, and thank you for cultivating and searching for cultivation resources with me all these years.”

This made Murong Xiangyu's heart jump, then she stared at Mo Wuji hatefully. She couldn't understand why she wasn't as important as a man like Mo Wuji to Wei Ru.

”Ah…” Murong Xiangyu exclaimed and frantically responded. ”Then please wait for me, I kept the bug in my cave. I'll go to take it for you now.”

The light in Wei Ru's eyes dimmed even further as he shook his head, ”Never mind, I'll leave with Da Shixiong first. Pass me the bug to me if we ever meet again in the future.”

Once he finished his piece, Wei Ru spoke to Mo Wuji in disappointment, ”Da Shixiong, let's go.”

He wasn't that big of an idiot to believe that Murong Xiangyu would really leave the but in a cave.

Nodding his head, Mo Wuji took out a flying ship magic treasure straight away and said to Wei Ru, ”Board the ship.”

Without saying anything else to Murong Xiangyu, Wei Ru landed on the flying ship in a single step.

Mo Wuji also charged up in an instant while controlling the flying ship.

”Are you in a bad mood?” Mo Wuji chuckled as he asked Wei Ru.

Wei Ru sighed, ”Yes, I did have my doubts about how she coincidentally appeared to save me when I first met her. With her cultivation level, she could just kill me if she wanted the bug so why did she have to go through the entire charade?”

Mo Wuji casually explained, ”You're wrong. With her original cultivation level, it was really not possible for her to kill you. However, even I am impressed with her rate of cultivation. Moreover, the Spirit Seeking God Bug does not recognise a second owner, which is why you were able to live till today.”

If Murong Xianyu had arrived in God World at the same time as himself, Mo Wuji suspected that her current strength would have exceeded his own.

Seeing that Wei Ru was rather down, Mo Wuji asked, ”Your arm was cut off not long ago right? What happened?”

Wei Ru just shook his head for sometime before saying, ”If she's really at Heavenly God Level 8, then she must have faked being severely injured in the past. I had my arm cut off in an attempt to save her. If it wasn't for a senior that passed by, I would have died in the Leafless Forest. I don't understand what's the point for her to do that?”

Mo Wuji nodded, ”You're lucky to have met me then. Otherwise, not even a few bits of your bones would be left. If I'm not wrong, that woman should be looking for some means to turn the bug into her own.”

As he spoke, Mo Wuji stopped the flying ship.

”Da Shixiong, why did you stop.” Wei Ru faced Mo Wuji with a puzzled look as he asked his question.

Mo Wuji grinned, ”Do you think Murong Xiangyu would let us off that easily?”

Actually, when he spotted Murong Xiangyu, Mo Wuji's spirit storage channel caught a connection between her and a Worldly God cultivator. Murong Xiangyu wouldn't let him go and he wouldn't let her go either. Hence he was sure that she would come chasing after them with that Worldly God expert. He only stopped to make some preparations first.
