Chapter 978 Allocation
Zhao Mu stayed in Xia Ningzhi's room for three days and three nights.
That morning, after he woke up, he lowered his head and kissed Xiao Jiu on the forehead before quietly leaving the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
Of course, he didn't sneak away; he mentioned it to the Ninth Princess last night.
At first, Xia Ningzhi begged him to come along, but he refused her without hesitation.
Damn it, who would have thought that the dignified and proud Ninth Princess of Great Xia would develop such a fetish after sleeping with him? Sigh...
However, this is also related to the golden dragon marrow.
After all, it was part of her dowry, and the fact that it was used by another woman made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Naturally, they want to see how much they can get in return for their dowry.
Of course, if it were Yan Bingqing, Yan Qingyue, or Wu Yao, Xia Ningzhi probably wouldn't have had such thoughts.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Mu went straight back to the inn where Xia Ruoxi was staying.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long, the flowers have all withered!"
As soon as he pushed open the door, Big Green Tea rushed over excitedly, looking at him expectantly and asking, "Where's the Golden Dragon Marrow?"
"what about me?"
Zhao Mu raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you spend three days and three nights causing trouble for Xia Ningzhi? Are you still coming?"
Xia Ruoxi looked at Zhao Mu with a strange expression.
"Then I'll go?"
Not getting the response he wanted, Zhao Mu immediately turned around and made a move to leave.
It wasn't that he necessarily wanted the big green tea, but Xiao Jiu had given him a strict order: he could leave it unsupervised, but once the Golden Dragon Marrow was sent out, it had to be worth it, and Xia Ruoxi and Wu Xuan had to be completely obedient.
"Hey hey hey~"
Seeing that Zhao Mu was really about to leave, Xia Ruoxi became anxious and rushed forward to pull him up. Without saying a word, she pulled him to the bedside, gently pushed him, and Zhao Mu fell onto the bedding.
The next instant, the giant green tea...
Three days and three nights...
Five days and five nights...
Seven days and seven nights...
More than a month later, Xia Ruoxi leaned weakly against Zhao Mu's chest, her face full of resentment as she complained, "Senior Brother Zhao, all you do is bully your junior sister, hmph~"
Is it really bullying?
Zhao Mu pinched her cheek with a half-smile.
Do you want more?
Xia Ruoxi took the initiative to ask.
"you......"
Zhao Mu glanced at her uncertainly.
"After obtaining the Golden Dragon Marrow, I will begin to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm. My cultivation has been suppressed for too long, and continuing to suppress it will not be good for me. I am not sure how long it will take to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm."
"I might not be able to let you eat during this period."
"So, how about we eat our fill first?"
Xia Ruoxi's expression was serious and genuine. Of course, Zhao Mu wasn't unaware of chivalry, and asked casually, "Are you leaving again after your breakthrough?"
"No, I should be able to stay by your side for a while."
"In that case, let's break through first!"
Zhao Mu pinched Da Lvcha's chin and said with a faint smile, "After all, there's plenty of time in the future."
"Have you found a place for secluded cultivation?"
"Ok!"
Xia Ruoxi nodded and said, "I'm all ready in a cave outside the capital."
"Do we need a protector?"
Zhao Mu took the initiative to ask, knowing full well that the breakthrough to the Yin-Yang Realm was no small matter and must not be disturbed.
"No need, I have everything prepared."
Xia Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Besides, Senior Brother Zhao should go find Wu Xuan next, right?"
"What? You're jealous now? Besides, I also..."
Zhao Mu was interrupted before he could finish speaking. Xia Ruoxi said seriously, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. Whether it is golden dragon marrow or divine matter, they are all extremely precious things."
"If Wu Xuan wants it, she has to give up her body in exchange."
"Besides, didn't she already agree to the deal?"
"With Senior Brother Zhao's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to gradually turn this deal into one that everyone is willing to participate!"
"Senior Brother Zhao, I'm not joking, I'm serious. This Wu Xuan is a rare genius. After you win her over, our future..."
This time, it was Xia Ruoxi who had her mouth covered.
"You're using me as a tool to recruit geniuses?"
"Would Senior Brother Zhao object?"
Xia Ruoxi chuckled and said, "The daughters of the most powerful families are all very beautiful. You won't be at a disadvantage. Besides, you can only completely trust people like them who are on your own side."
"In this world, there are very few people you can truly connect with based solely on the word 'friend'."
"The vast majority of them are driven by profit."
Zhao Mu fell silent instantly. Although her words were unpleasant, the "green tea b*tch" was absolutely right.
Almost 99% of interpersonal relationships are based on self-interest. The life-and-death bond like that of the Black Sand Sea team is extremely difficult to build, and such people are incredibly rare to find.
"Senior Brother Zhao, can you hold me and sleep with me?"
"Ok!"
Looking at Xia Ruoxi, who was curled up in his arms like a kitten, Zhao Mu felt a surge of affection and gently comforted her, as if he were coaxing his daughter to sleep.
The green tea girl actually fell for it and soon fell asleep with a smile on her face.
I slept for three days and three nights straight.
Zhao Mu stretched and got up from the bed.
Xia Ruoxi, who was standing next to her, had already set off for her secluded cultivation place after waking up this morning, preparing to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm in one fell swoop.
"It's time to go find that girl Wu Xuan."
After straightening his clothes, Zhao Mu strode away.
Another inn less than five miles away.
Takeda and the others stared so wide-eyed they were practically covered in hair.
"More than a month has passed, why haven't we heard anything from Brother Zhao yet?"
"Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty has pulled some trick when distributing the Golden Dragon Marrow?!"
"It shouldn't be that bad. Zhao Mu is backed by the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace. Even if those old fogies of the Great Xia Dynasty had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to bully Brother Zhao."
"Can....."
"Are you an idiot? This isn't just about distributing Golden Dragon Marrow; it's also the Ninth Princess's martial arts contest to find a husband. They're newly married; shouldn't they stay a little longer?"
"Uh...that's true."
"..."
In the lobby of the inn, Wu Ling, Wu Tian, and three others were drinking and talking quietly while waiting for Zhao Mu to arrive.
They've been waiting here every day for the past month.
After all, even if it's an emergency, it wouldn't be appropriate to barge into the Great Xia Imperial Palace to look for someone.
After waiting for more than a month, I finally saw the figure I had been dreaming of arrive on this day.
"Brother Zhao, you've finally arrived."
"Zhao Mu, you have no idea how long we've been waiting for you. I'm already tired of the food at this inn."
"Golden Dragon Marrow..."
Upon hearing this, all four members of Wuling turned their attention to Zhao Mu.
"We will live up to our mission."
Zhao Mu smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this answer, Wu Ling and the others' eyes lit up. Sure enough, trusting Zhao Mu would surely lead to success.
"Hurry, hurry up, Xiaoxuan has missed you so much, Brother Zhao."
"You two have a good chat, we won't bother you."
"..."
Zhao Mu was practically pushed into Wu Xuan's room by the four from Wuling.
