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.

However, as the number of letters decreased, he finally realized what the problem was.

Someone was definitely hunting down the cultivators of the White River City in secret.

Who would do such a boring thing?

The first person Xu Mu thought of was the Luo Family.

Perhaps his guess was wrong!

Perhaps someone else was involved!

There was even a possibility that it was just an accident!

But for Xu Mu, as long as there was a hint of evidence, it was a good enough reason for him to act.

“I underestimated the determination and ruthlessness of the Luo Family!”

He did not expect that they would seek his trace in such a simple and violent way.

Now he only had two options, either to move his family to another sect or to act and eliminate the danger.

Now that the Luo family had won over the golden ancient elder, they had enormous power. Xu Mu did not think that if he stayed in Liyang City, they would not be able to do anything to him.

Moving was not likely!

The flying boat to another sect only came once every six months, and aside from the high ticket prices, there were all sorts of other requirements.

What was most troublesome was that the flying boat had been booked before it even set off.

He would not be able to arrange so many tickets for everyone to leave in a short time.

Furthermore,

Ye Yingying was about to give birth!

The journey was long, and no one knew what might happen. If a mishap occurred, he would regret it.

As for moving to another marketplace, it would actually draw their attention more easily by doing so.

Moreover, compared to a marketplace, Liyang City was safer.

So, dealing with the Luo Family became the best option.

“But be prepared for the worst. Buy the boat tickets. If we can’t deal with the Luo Family successfully, we’ll have a fallback option!”

“Sigh! Living in this world is really tiring. No sooner had I had a few days of peace than trouble came knocking at the door!”

Xu Mu sighed, returned to his room, opened the system, and started adding points.

[Spirit Flame Jue+1687]!

[Spirit Flame Jue Grandmaster; 0/3200]!

[Invisibility Technique+1842]!

[Invisibility Technique Grandmaster; 0/3200]!

[Fire-controlling skill +417]!

[Fire-controlling skill Grandmaster; 6148/1.28W]!

The Spirit Flame Jue was just an ordinary martial method, which Xu Mu had wanted to replace, but had not yet found a suitable one.

Now, in order to handle the crisis, he had to increase his skill first.

Spirit Flame Jue, having reached the Grandmaster Realm, gained the ability that every martial method had:

Spiritual Power Purification!

By refining his spiritual power once more, Xu Mu, at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, now had the spiritual power comparable to the ninth level.

Combined with his powerful spiritual power, Xu Mu now had the ability to refine the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword.

“I originally planned to sell you. I didn’t expect that in the end, I would be the one to use you!”

Xu Mu opened the frost iron sword box, gently stroked the cold and sharp longsword inside it, and murmured to himself.

“I just hope that this time, you won’t let down your reputation as a tier five spiritual artifact!”

Roar!

Soon after, a mighty dragon roar echoed from the room.

“You’re too bold, hurry up and take it out!”

Lan Shijin, who was cooking in the kitchen, chastised with a flushed face.

“Relax, with my perception, they won’t discover us.” Xu Mu replied with a smile.

“You! Hmph!”

Lan Shijin gritted her teeth in anger but was helpless against Xu Mu. She could only place her hands on the cutting board.

Much later, after Xu Mu had slapped two purification charms on himself, he finally asked, “How’s the hiding formation I asked you to create?”

“I’ve already prepared it. Six sets in total. What do you intend to do with them?” Lan Shijin asked curiously.

“Nothing, I just plan to go out for a while!”

Xu Mu collected the formation tools and put them into his storage bag.

“While I’m gone, I’ll need you to look after the house!”

“Can’t you leave after some time? Yingying is about to give birth!”

Lan Shijin replied with a furrowed brow.

“The situation is urgent. We can’t wait!”

“Alright then! Be careful on your journey!”

Only after they finished talking, did they tear off the silence charm, serve the dishes and enter the living room.

“Husband, how did you manage to delay things even more when you were supposed to be helping?” Ye Yingying complained.

“The sink in the kitchen was a bit dirty. I helped Friend Lan clean it up!”

Xu Mu set the dishes on the table and also helped Little Ling’er into her seat.

“You were the one who dirtied it!” Lan Shijin said vexedly.

Ye Yingying and Leng Yuening were confused.

Didn’t they remember that the kitchen did not have a sink? Weren’t all cleaning tasks done by skills?

Early the next morning, Xu Mu packed all his belongings, said farewell to his family, and boarded the flying boat bound for Cui Ling Market-
