Chapter 989, Parting
Do you know where I went for the three years after I left Yan City?
"Could it be a sacred site?"
Wu Zixu wasn't stupid; since Zhao Mu had already said that, the answer was obvious.
"Yes, I participated in a competition called the Langhuan Trial in the Cangwu Holy Land. I stayed there for three years. The reason why my cultivation level has increased so quickly is thanks to this Langhuan Secret Realm."
“There are many good places in the Holy Land. Since you are engaged to someone from the Golden Light Holy Land, you should be able to enter one of them.”
"Look for your own opportunities; you might just reap tremendous benefits."
"A fiancée is family."
Would your father ever harm you?
"I wouldn't go so far as to find you a big, burly woman with a pockmarked face as your wife."
At first, Wu Zixu listened attentively, but as he listened, he became numb. However, Zhao Mu's words seemed to make sense. Since there was no way to resist, he should just let things take their course.
There's no point in feeling depressed here.
It's just a son-in-law living with his wife's family, I....
Why the hell am I a live-in son-in-law?!
"There's no need for you to think of yourself as a live-in son-in-law. I have just as many marriage contracts as you."
"To tell you the truth, when I met Wu Yao, I was just a nobody, but we still got engaged."
"And Ji Qingyue from the Ji family, wasn't she the same? When the marriage was arranged, my status and family background were not as good as theirs, but I didn't feel like I was marrying into their family."
"Besides them, I also have a marriage agreement with Yu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, in the Cangwu Holy Land."
"Even after all this, I don't feel like I'm marrying into your family, so what's your situation compared to that!"
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully yourself!"
Zhao Mu patted Wu Zixu on the shoulder, downed the wine in the bottle in one gulp, and said, "I'm about to leave the sect to seek opportunities outside. Take care of yourself."
"I~"
ton ton ton~
Just as Wu Zixu was about to say something, Zhao Mu vanished in an instant, leaving him no choice but to drink a few sips of wine to dispel his frustration.
However, after hearing Zhao Mu's explanation, the feeling of being forced to marry into the family seemed to have lessened considerably.
......
After the brief incident, Zhao Mu went straight to Yan Qingyue's cave.
Just as he expected, both the silly senior sister and Wu Yao announced their intention to leave.
Yan Hongling has long since disappeared. It is said that she went to cultivate in seclusion. Since breaking through to the Void Realm, her potential has begun to emerge, and her cultivation level had already entered the Four Extremes Realm more than two years ago.
Xia Ningzhi wasn't there either.
However, she didn't leave; she just had her own cave dwelling and didn't live with Yan Qingyue.
"Zhao Mu, I don't want to leave!"
Yan Bingqing held Zhao Mu tightly.
"Good~"
Zhao Mu reached out and touched his silly senior sister's cheek, smiling, "I'll go to the Asura Demon Sea to see you, and besides, haven't you always wanted to..."
"Then I'll go back, I'll go back right away."
Yan Bingqing is incredibly clever when it comes to these kinds of things. Zhao Mu only blinked twice, and she immediately understood.
Sister Chi is still in the Asura Demon Sea. She needs to go back to provide support and lay the groundwork for Zhao Mu, subtly influencing Sister Chi's thoughts and opinions about Zhao Mu.
"Then I..."
Wu Yao gave a half-smile.
"Stop! Aunt Mu is just joking, but please don't come again!"
Zhao Mu was genuinely afraid of his cheap mother-in-law.
"Humph~"
Wu Yao snorted and pouted, saying, "You're smart to be leaving! Let's go!"
The two women walked very fast, and Zhao Mu watched them until they disappeared into the horizon.
Yan Qingyue stood beside him. After the two figures disappeared one after the other, she turned her head slightly, looked at Zhao Mu, and said calmly, "Now, there is only Junior Sister Xia left. Go!"
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu nodded and immediately headed to Xia Ningzhi's cave.
As he expected, Xiao Jiu was indeed waiting for his arrival, and had even decorated the cave dwelling carefully.
"Zhizhi~"
"Don't speak, just kiss me..."
As soon as he entered, Zhao Mu didn't even have time to observe the changes in the cave before Xia Ningzhi...
Several days later, Xia Ningzhi finally released him.
"Isn't Junior Sister Xia a little...?"
Yan Qingyue originally thought that Zhao Mu would be able to say goodbye in a few hours, or at most a day or two, but who would have thought that it would take seven days.
The Ninth Princess of Great Xia usually appeared dignified and noble, but unexpectedly, in this aspect...
He's been much greedier than her over the past few days.
"What? You want to join in too?"
Zhao Mu chuckled, grasped the wealthy woman's hand, and said calmly, "We'll have plenty of time to spar on the road. Let's prepare to set off for Tianlin Abyss."
"Ok!"
Yan Qingyue nodded, and the next moment, the flying boat appeared. The two landed on the deck one after the other, and the flying boat immediately started moving.
Tianlin Abyss is considered one of the more famous forbidden areas on the Kunwu Continent, because the place is gloomy and terrifying, full of deadly dangers, especially the creatures there, each one more ferocious than the last.
Even though there are many rare and precious natural treasures below, few people dare to trespass.
Because the mortality rate is simply too high.
Almost more than 80%.
Of the remaining 20%, the vast majority survived because they didn't go deep enough and withdrew early. Very few actually ventured in and left unscathed.
on the deck.
Yan Qingyue sat with her legs straight, leaning against the wooden box, while Zhao Mu lay back on the rich woman's lap, enjoying the lap pillow while his legs were crossed high, his toes tapping, giving him an indescribable feeling of relaxation.
There were only two of them on this trip.
Wu Yulin doesn't count; he's just a remnant soul.
Having probably been reprimanded by Ancestor Youlan, this old rascal has become much more obedient.
However, he did not intend to let Wu Yulin out for some fresh air before arriving at Tianlin Abyss.
"The journey is long, and it may take us several months to reach our destination."
Yan Qingyue watched the clouds drift by and said casually, "Since there's no rush, how about we do some sightseeing along the way?"
Her past experiences of fleeing with Zhao Mu are fondly remembered.
Although danger was close at hand, that experience was unforgettable.
She used to be cold and aloof because of the influence of Bingyuexian, but things are different now. Even Bingyuexian has been won over. It should be quite nice to travel around.
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu wasn't in a hurry. After all, he and the wealthy woman were newlyweds, so spending time with her was only right; consider it their honeymoon.
But thinking about it, I do feel quite guilty towards the rich girl. They've only been together for a short time, and they haven't even spent any time alone together.
Let's make it up to each other next time we meet.
Focus on the people in front of you right now.
A different kind of wealthy woman may have a different experience.
Wow~
Yan Qingyue waved her hand, and a virtual map appeared before the two of them. "Let's go here first, okay?"
"Skull State?"
Zhao Mu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood and asked, "Could it be that you want to revisit this place?"
"Ok!"
Yan Qingyue nodded, but quickly added, "But on another note, is that girl still following you through your worldly trials?"
"do not know."
Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "She appears and disappears like a ghost. I don't even know if she's still here. The last time I saw her was in the Asura Demon Sea!"
