Chapter 968 Wu Xuan's Frustration and Compromise!
Lover?
Me and him?
Wuling, have you been drinking too much fake alcohol? What nonsense are you spouting?
The past? Forget about it!
Wu Xuan gave a soft snort and immediately turned her head away, ignoring those stinky men completely.
"Brother Zhao, I'm so sorry, the little girl is still young and doesn't know any better!"
Wu Ling smiled apologetically at Zhao Mu.
"It's alright!"
Zhao Mu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. It was better if he didn't come. If he did come, he would have to rack his brains to figure out a way to make Wu Xuan noticing anything amiss, and also to make her back down.
Compared to that, staying far away is much better.
"Brother Zhao, it's our turn!"
Soon, the referee's voice rang out, and Takeda called out to Zhao Mu. The two quickly stepped onto the arena.
Wu Tian's strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, but he was clearly no match for Zhao Mu. He was even a step behind in cultivation level, as Wu Tian was only at the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm at the moment.
Zhao Mu could kick people off the stage even with his eyes closed.
However, due to the relationship between the two sides, their match lasted the longest, going through a full thirty moves.
Feeling he was wasting his time, Takeda voluntarily jumped off the ring.
win?
What will we use to win?
After the competition ended, Zhao Mu naturally left the arena.
The Wu Ling group clearly saw him as their lifeline, so they kept a close eye on him and surrounded him as soon as he stepped off the stage.
As for Wu Xuan, she was all alone beside him. When Zhao Mu's gaze swept over her, she immediately glared at him fiercely, as if she were cursing him.
"Those are people from Martial Emperor City, right?"
Xia Shang's attention remained on Zhao Mu, not only because he was Xiao Jiu's man and the Golden Dragon Marrow needed him to protect it, but also because the young and beautiful woman who suddenly appeared treated this boy with unusual attitude.
They may look angry, but they're probably just flirting.
Does this sound like a word?
"Yes!"
This time, Xu Qingyan didn't rush to reprimand them. Instead, she said calmly, "Those people have divine blood flowing through them. They should belong to the Elder Council of Martial Emperor City."
“Golden Dragon Marrow is nurtured by heaven and earth and made by the offerings of all spirits. It contains a trace of divine substance and is of great benefit to those who possess divine blood.”
"But it's a bit strange. Given the strength of Martial Emperor City, why did they only send these few people? Apart from that little girl, none of the others have a chance of even making it into the top ten. How are they going to obtain the Golden Dragon Marrow?"
This is what confuses her the most.
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because we're pinning our hopes on that kid Zhao Mu."
Xia Shang curled his lip and said, "Moreover, the Golden Dragon Marrow will most likely be used on that girl. That's almost equivalent to Xiao Jiu's dowry. Giving one woman's dowry to another woman, this brat is really inhuman!"
"..."
Xu Qingyan really didn't know what to say this time, because she also felt that this approach was not good.
to be honest.
Xiao Jiu could offer it voluntarily, but Zhao Mu couldn't do that.
"Father, Mother, if Zhao Mu wins the championship, how much Golden Dragon Marrow can he get at most?"
Xia Ningzhi, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
Why are you asking this?
Xia Shang found it somewhat strange.
Can't I ask?
Xia Ningzhi countered with a question.
"Tell me honestly, did that little bastard Zhao Mu tell you something beforehand, like how to distribute the Golden Dragon Marrow?"
Xia Shang realized something was wrong and immediately stared at his daughter with a very serious look.
"Yes!"
Xia Ningzhi did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "So far, we have already promised to give away six drops of golden dragon marrow."
She originally meant to say three drops, but seeing Wu Xuan's appearance, she doubled it. She couldn't let Zhao Mu be embarrassed in front of other women.
"what!"
Xia Shang's eyes widened in shock at his daughter's words. "No way, what do you think of the Golden Dragon Marrow? Like a bunch of cabbages that nobody wants? There are only a few drops in total, and that brat Zhao Mu promised to give away six drops in one go?"
"He's gone mad!"
"Why don't we just give him them all!"
"..."
Xia Shang was so angry he almost cursed.
Xu Qingyan was still calm. She patted her daughter's hand and said slowly, "Your father is right. The amount of Golden Dragon Marrow is extremely rare, and the right to distribute it is not in our hands, but in the hands of the ancestors."
"Your father and I can only guarantee three drops at most. If you want more, Zhao Mu will have to negotiate it himself."
"No matter what, he came representing the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace."
After a moment of silence, Xia Ningzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him about it then."
Three drops, at least Xia Ruoxi is fine now.
But this Wu Xuan.....
Hey ~
Suddenly, Xu Qingyan's sigh came from the side. Looking at her daughter's wholehearted consideration for Zhao Mu, she couldn't help but sigh, "How did I give birth to such a love-struck child? Her eyes and heart are only for that man."
All she hopes now is that Zhao Mu will not let his daughter down in the future.
below.
After Wu Ling and the others were defeated one after another and completely lost their qualifications, Wu Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally stopping her distance from Zhao Mu and coming closer. She had no choice, as the Golden Dragon Marrow was of utmost importance to her.
"What? Have you figured it out?"
Wu Ling and the others had already consciously stepped back. In their private moment, Zhao Mu spoke boldly, staring intently at Wu Xuan with a half-smile.
"Although I don't understand, your eyes tell me you're thinking dirty thoughts!"
Wu Xuan glared angrily at Zhao Mu with her big eyes.
"If you don't have a filthy mind when a beautiful woman is in front of you, then that's disrespectful to you."
Zhao Mu grinned, looking like a street rogue, which infuriated Wu Xuan. This kind of person was too difficult to deal with.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally convinced herself and said to Zhao Mu very seriously, "We don't need to make a scene like this. Let's make up, okay? I can accept the benefits you took from me. Let's forgive and forget about each other, shall we?"
“Zhao Mu, I really need this drop of golden dragon marrow. Apart from that matter, name your price and I will do everything I can to meet it.”
"Let's stop joking, okay?"
They may appear to be bowing their heads, but in reality, they are truly out of options.
All the men from Wudi City were wiped out; she could only hope for Zhao Mu.
She now truly hates being a woman. If it were any man, she would have taken him on herself. These good-for-nothings would never be a match for her.
Unfortunately, in the end, we still couldn't get past that bastard Zhao Mu.
Although they had never faced each other, her opponent gave her the illusion that she was invincible. It sounded absurd, but it was indeed the case.
Her intuition in this area has always been very accurate.
This is why, despite Zhao Mu taking advantage of her time and time again, she only fled in panic instead of retaliating in anger.
Because once they start fighting and things fall apart, if Zhao Mu tries to force himself on her, she'll be left with no one to turn to for help and will be forced to suffer humiliation.
That's why she hasn't dared to be too forceful with Zhao Mu yet.
Not only because the other party was her only hope, but also because she simply couldn't beat them!
