"Oh, young master is back! I thought he wasn't coming back!"
Su Mu returned to the courtyard, and had just stepped inside when Xiao Wu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, staring at Su Mu with a resentful expression.
That kind of look left Su Mu completely bewildered.
How could I not come back?
I haven't been gone for long, have I? I've been rushing back the whole way, and haven't done anything else.
Xiao Wu's displeasure hadn't faded. Hearing this, she pouted and said, "Who knows? Maybe he saw her stunningly handsome face and didn't want to come back?"
Su Mu listened, still puzzled, not understanding what Xiao Wu meant by those words.
Xiao Lian flew out and, seeing this, pursed her lips and said, " Xiao Wu is jealous. Your line, 'To travel far to the mortal world for a breathtaking feast, to witness the splendor of the human realm,' has made many women jealous!"
If you were to say that to Xiao Wu, she would absolutely offer herself up as a concubine!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Wu's pretty face still showed some dissatisfaction when she heard this.
But then, upon hearing the phrase "recommend yourself as a pillow," her pretty face flushed crimson, and she lunged at Xiao Lian with outstretched claws.
Xiao Lian chuckled, and after her body dissipated, she mysteriously reappeared beside Su Mu.
"Young master, you're quite famous now! Many women in the capital hope to meet you and receive your praise. The women in the Entertainment Bureau are even willing to offer themselves to you, just to see you once."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and countless handkerchiefs flew over from afar. "These are all tokens sent by those women. If you take a fancy to any of them, young master, you can take them and go visit them."
Su Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, and reached out to take the handkerchiefs, examining them carefully.
Xiao Wu pouted upon seeing this, "What, does Young Master really want to go and see him?"
Su Mu smiled helplessly, "If I said I didn't want to, would you believe me?"
To say she didn't want to would be a lie. Even on Earth, Su Mu had never been so popular with women. Now, looking at the delicate handwriting on this handkerchief, the words were full of hope that she could see him.
It's impossible for Su Mu not to have any thoughts about that heartfelt hope.
At this moment, Su Mu even felt a little smug.
After listening, Xiao Wu thought about it and felt that it was indeed unlikely.
Su Mu isn't a bald monk; how could a normal man not be tempted?
"Let's put it aside and put it away."
Su Mu examined them carefully, then told Xiao Lian to put them away. After all, they were gifts from someone, and they couldn't just throw them away.
"Isn't the young master going?"
Xiao Lian smacked her lips in amusement upon hearing this.
"Go where?"
Su Mu was speechless. What was the point of him going there with his body like that? He could only look but not eat, what was the point?
At that moment, he felt that the poem truly reflected the sentiment. "How much sorrow can one have? It's like a eunuch going to a brothel."
"By the way, why is it that after I attended this banquet and returned home so quickly, without much delay on the way, the news has already spread everywhere?"
Su Mu was somewhat puzzled; how could the news spread faster than he could fly?
" The Sound Transmission Technique is naturally very fast, what's so strange about that? Compared to your flying speed, transmitting sound is naturally much faster."
Xiao Wu replied casually, her tone tinged with a hint of resentment, which made people chuckle.
Being a woman, she couldn't resist such praise.
Su Mu found it amusing, and after racking his brains for a moment, he couldn't think of anything to praise the other person's poetry, so he dismissed the idea.
"I'm quite tired after traveling all this way. I'll go and meditate for a while. Don't wake me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Su Mu was still preoccupied with the matter of the Dragon Vein. After hurriedly finishing her conversation with the two of them, she returned to her room.
By the time Su Mu returned to Earth and had a good meal, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
At six o'clock in late September, the sky was still somewhat bright.
After considering it for a moment, Su Mu decided to go directly to Xiaoshan. Once this Dragon Vein was fully revived, he could start working on the Qinling Mountains Dragon Vein tomorrow.
With that thought in mind, Su Mu immediately hailed a car, glanced at the map, and had the driver take her to the foot of the mountain before getting out of the car.
Now that it was already dark, Su Mu decided to directly search for the Dragon Vein by observing its aura, without having to follow the mountain path that others had taken before.
Su Mu was unaware that it was precisely because of this decision that he avoided the ambush set up by the Security Bureau.
Su Mu leaped lightly across the treetops, quickly pinpointing the Dragon Vein based on the aura he perceived.
In the pitch-black forest, apart from the roars of some unknown animals, there were no other sounds. The darkness was so intense that it sent a chill down one's spine.
To be alone in a place like this late at night requires an extraordinary amount of courage.
Su Mu wouldn't be considered extremely brave; after all, he's the type who gets scared by watching some well-known horror movies.
In the past, Su Mu would watch horror movies in the sweltering summer heat to save money, which would leave him drenched in cold sweat and save him the cost of air conditioning.
Now, in this dark mountain forest, Su Mu relied entirely on the Spiritual Power within his body, showing no fear whatsoever.
Something just feels off.
As the Dragon Vein drew closer, Su Mu's brows furrowed slightly.
I don't know why, but I feel a bit strange today, though I can't quite put my finger on why.
Could it be that he was a little scared because it was so late at night?
As Su Mu was pondering, he saw that they had arrived at the destination. He immediately landed and began to set up an altar using a folding table.
Soon, with everything arranged, Su Mu, having gained experience from before, quickly began the steps to revive the Dragon Vein.
When Su Mu first revived the Dragon Vein, he was exhausted, feeling as if he was about to collapse. It was only after dozens of training sessions that Su Mu's abilities improved significantly, and he was no longer so tired.
"Boom!"
The Dragon Vein began to shift, and the entire mountain range began to tremble.
Meanwhile, the Security Bureau personnel lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain were completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Has anyone seen the target go into the mountains?"
"No, I didn't see anyone go into the mountains the whole time. Did he take another route in?"
The Security Bureau personnel were stunned.
Such vibrations clearly indicate that the other party has already begun their rhythm.
"We have them all! Narrow down the search immediately and make sure we catch this person!"
After saying that, he took the lead and ran into the mountains.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly ran into the mountains. Fortunately, they had brought night vision goggles, so they could see the mountain path clearly without the need for flashlights.
