I Made The World Mutate

"Do you have a connection with Du Wenzhen? What is your relationship with Du Wenzhen?" The tall woman was surprised, lowered her head to look at Xiao Mu, and asked with astonishment.

Xiao Mu spoke seriously, "I am Du Wenzhen's second uncle, his real second uncle."

"No way, such a young second uncle?" The tall woman couldn't help but examine Xiao Mu upon hearing this, a hint of disbelief showed in her expression.

"I am of the True Realm, True Realm. You yourself are also of the True Realm, so you should know that in the True Realm, you can't tell a person's age. I just look young, that's all. Just look young, understand?" Xiao Mu explained unhappily.

"Truly a second uncle, huh." The tall woman showed a bright smile, feeling happy, and cheerfully greeted Xiao Mu, "Hello, Second Uncle. I am Du Wenzhen's girlfriend, Xu Ting. You can call me Tingting. Second Uncle, have you seen Du Wenzhen?"

"Ah, Tingting." Xiao Mu suppressed a laugh.

"Yes, Second Uncle, did Du Wenzhen mention me to you?" Xu Ting was even happier upon hearing Xiao Mu's words.

"Nope." Xiao Mu replied seriously, "Never, how come you're his girlfriend? Du Wenzhen always says that finding a woman hinders cultivation, that women are trouble, affecting work, impacting cultivation, right? When did he get a girlfriend?"

Xu Ting's face changed slightly, "Second Uncle, did he really say that?"

"Yes, he often says so." Xiao Mu nodded seriously.

Xu Ting's face changed again, looking a bit embarrassed, but she quickly started laughing, "It's okay, Second Uncle. When I'm with him, I just treat him like a woman. Second Uncle, have you seen Du Wenzhen?"

Treat him like a woman? Old Du treated as a woman?

Xiao Mu glanced at Xu Ting's physique, suddenly realizing something, nodding knowingly, "No wonder, no wonder, that explains it."

Xiao Mu forced back a laugh, "Yes, I've seen him."

"Then..." Xu Ting was delighted, warmly asked, "Second Uncle, where is Du Wenzhen?"

"Here he is." Xiao Mu pointed at the little tree that Du Wenzhen had transformed into, "Here, this little tree, is transformed by Du Wenzhen."

"Old Xiao, you're going to get me killed."

Du Wenzhen shouted, reverting to his original form.

"Du Wenzhen, you're really here?" Upon seeing Du Wenzhen appear, Xu Ting screamed and charged at Du Wenzhen, extending her hand to grab his ear, lifting him like a chick and scolded fiercely, "Hiding from me? Avoiding me, huh? Eat and run without paying the bill, is that it? Du Wenzhen, if you dare to dump me, I'll bring this to the Human Emperor and ask him to execute you, you bastard."

"No, no, Tingting, misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding. How could I possibly avoid you? I can't even wait to see you. Ouch, gentle, gentle, you're going to rip my ear off." Du Wenzhen quickly pleaded.

"Ears can grow back if they're torn off." Xu Ting held Du Wenzhen up with one hand; her tall figure beside Du Wenzhen looked like a mother disciplining a young son, "You said I'm trouble, being with me affects your cultivation? Affects your work? Du Wenzhen, you've got some nerve."

"That's not true, that's not true, Tingting, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. You've definitely misunderstood. Why would I say being with you affects my cultivation? If it did affect my cultivation, would I still be with you?" Du Wenzhen anxiously defended himself.

"Still lying to me? If you didn't think that, would you not come on my birthday today?" Xu Ting continued angrily.

"How is that possible? Am I that kind of person? I've prepared a gift, how could I not come?" Du Wenzhen anxiously defended himself.

"Alright then, we'll go now, and let my parents see you." Xu Ting hugged Du Wenzhen and started walking.

Du Wenzhen panicked, kicked his legs wildly but couldn't touch the ground, "Not today, Tingting, I have work."

"Not coming on my birthday?" Xu Ting's anger rose.

"Important work, Tingting, important work. Leaving will lead to punishment, serious punishment. If you don't believe me, ask him?" Du Wenzhen defended himself anxiously, pointing at Xiao Mu.

At the same time, he couldn't help but keep giving Xiao Mu significant glances, with a pleading look in his eyes, asking Xiao Mu to help cover up.

You've got yourself into trouble, haven't you?

Xiao Mu felt secretly pleased but then spoke seriously, "That's right, Tingting, Du Wenzhen truly has important work today. Isn't that right, Du Wenzhen, second uncle found you to do important work today, right?"

Du Wenzhen glared at Xiao Mu, but his mouth could only answer begrudgingly, "Yes, Second Uncle."

Xu Ting froze, half-believing, half-doubting, looking at Du Wenzhen, then at Xiao Mu.

"Did you hear that, Tingting? Second Uncle found me today for important matters, which must be dealt with immediately. If I leave, I'll face punishment, severe punishment." Du Wenzhen wore a serious face.

"Punish you, you bastard." Xu Ting cursed angrily, letting go of Du Wenzhen, saying, "I'll go with you to handle matters."

"No way, you're not from Headquarters. Matters of the Headquarters have to be confidential. What would happen if secrets were leaked?" Du Wenzhen was greatly anxious.

Xu Ting seemed skeptical of Du Wenzhen, staring at him for a long time.

Du Wenzhen looked up with a smiling face, pretending to be serious.

"Second Uncle, are you telling the truth?" Xu Ting suddenly turned to Xiao Mu to ask.

Xiao Mu noticed Du Wenzhen urgently signaling him with his eyes, full of pleading, decided to cut him some slack, and nodded with sincerity, "It's true, I have an urgent matter that requires Du Wenzhen to handle immediately."

"Well then, Second Uncle is an elder, he wouldn't lie to me. I'll wait here for you. Du Wenzhen, after handling Second Uncle's important business, come out and see me immediately."

Xu Ting compromised, then solemnly instructed Du Wenzhen one last time.

"Immediately, immediately." Du Wenzhen replied meekly.

"Old Xiao, you've put me in a tight spot!" As soon as Xu Ting was out of sight, Du Wenzhen couldn't help but complain to Xiao Mu.

"Haha, weren't you saying you didn't need a woman? What's this all about with Xu Ting?" Xiao Mu laughed heartily.

"It was just a momentary lapse, sigh, let's not talk about it."

Du Wenzhen sighed with regret in his voice, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the descendants of the Kuang family."

Following Du Wenzhen's lead, Xiao Mu soon met the descendants of the Kuang family at the errands office.

The side branch of the Kuang family, family head Kuang Fuyou, Early Stage of Yin God Realm, over seventy years old, had sons and grandsons. When meeting Xiao Mu, he brought a grandson, Kuang Youliang, Third Realm of the Mortal Realm.

This grandfather-grandson pair, Xiao Mu had already met at the ruins of Great Tang last time, but neither of them had seen him.

"Greetings, sir!" Xiao Mu greeted Kuang Fuyou.

"This is the Respected Envoy from Headquarters; he wishes to ask you a few questions that you must answer carefully." Du Wenzhen briefly introduced Xiao Mu's identity to Kuang family's grandfather and grandson but slightly concealed Xiao Mu's real identity.

"Yes, so it's the Respected Envoy from Headquarters. Greetings, Respected Envoy!"

Kuang Fuyou was a bit surprised and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Mu with his grandson.

"No need for formalities, sir."

Xiao Mu casually said, then began asking, "How much do you know about the ruins of Kuang Shenfeng True Gods at Cangkuo Mountain, sir?"

"Ruins at Cangkuo Mountain?"

Kuang Fuyou seemed quite surprised, glanced at Xiao Mu, and then calmly said, "I only know it was the workplace of our ancestor."

Xiao Mu continued to inquire, "Since it's a workplace, do you know what kind of work Kuang Shenfeng True Gods was doing there?"

"This... I don't know!"

Kuang Fuyou's eyes flickered inadvertently.

Xiao Mu noticed this slight change, feeling intrigued, suddenly said, "Do you know, Headquarters is currently looking for Kuang family descendants? The main line of the Kuang family, all thirteen members, have been killed by the Heavenly Court. The Spirit Blood was taken, even the corpse bones of Kuang Shenfeng True Gods were seized by the Heavenly Court?"

"This..." Kuang Fuyou froze, with a look of panic and unease, asked, "The main line of the Kuang family got killed? The ancestor's corpse was taken too? My goodness, how... how can this happen? Headquarters will protect us, right?"

Xiao Mu smiled, "You are all people of the Human world, Headquarters will certainly protect you, but without knowing why the Heavenly Court is acting, there's no way to protect you."

"The Heavenly Court is searching for Kuang family descendants, besides seeking Spirit Blood, they could be looking for something else. This item is a secret key to an array, its specific form might be a flag, an array talisman, or a command token, do you have any related information, sir?"
