Chapter 1127: Soul Treasure of the Heavenly God
Ling Xiaomin suddenly sensed something, glanced at Xiao Mu, and her face immediately showed anticipation. She looked intently at Xiao Mu, and asked in a soft and expectant tone, "Mr. Mu, do you know what to do?"
"I used to know, but I suddenly forgot."
Xiao Mu struggled to hold back a laugh.
"For...forgot?"
Ling Xiaomin looked surprised, her eyes wide open, and asked in confusion, "How can you forget something like that?"
"Yes."
Xiao Mu nodded seriously, "My memory isn't as good as it used to be. I suddenly forgot about that thing. I remember you bought three Mysterious Fruits a few days ago, right?"
"Two...two fruits."
Ling Xiaomin's eyes widened, and she immediately became alert upon hearing this, looking sternly at Xiao Mu, "I've already let you eat one of them."
As she spoke, she instinctively reached for her waist, only to touch nothing.
Ling Xiaomin was startled at first, looking down at her waist, and then quickly breathed a sigh of relief. She had left the Storage Box in her room.
Thank goodness!
"Sigh..."
Xiao Mu was almost amused by Ling Xiaomin's actions but suddenly sighed deeply.
"Why...why are you sighing?"
Ling Xiaomin looked warily at Xiao Mu, suddenly feeling extremely uneasy, instinctively wanting to distance herself from him.
The sigh just now made her feel highly threatened, instinctively thinking that Xiao Mu definitely wasn't planning anything good, surely planning to plot against her.
Xiao Mu forced back a laugh, pulling a sad face, "I suddenly remembered that my memory used to be pretty good. Though not exactly photographic memory, at least I wouldn't forget things in the blink of an eye."
"Now it's different. I'm older, and my memory just isn't good anymore."
As Xiao Mu spoke, he sighed and continued, suddenly looking directly at Ling Xiaomin, delighted, "Isn't it strange? Ever since you gave me that Mysterious Fruit last time, my memory has improved quite a bit."
"Though not fully recovered, it's much better than before."
"Some things that I had completely forgotten and thought I'd never recall, suddenly came back to me. Like the question you asked just now, you wanted to know how to get the report to the Human Emperor. I initially couldn't remember at all, but suddenly, now I recall knowing, I mean, originally supposed to know how to get the report to the Human Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaomin felt a chill all over, staring guardedly at Xiao Mu, the hairs on her body standing on end, and her back seemingly drenched in cold sweat.
Hastily she said, "You've already had one fruit, and I only bought two in total. The remaining one is for Cultivation."
After witnessing how difficult it was for Qi Rong to enter the True Realm, she almost gave up the idea of reaching the True Realm and bought the Mysterious Fruits mainly to strengthen her power in the Mortal Realm.
But three, no, two Mysterious Fruits, and Xiao Mu tricked her into eating one. Now she only has one left.
This single Mysterious Fruit, even if eaten, might not even ensure her Fire ability Cultivation succeeds, yet Xiao Mu is still eyeing it.
Simply...simply...how can one be like this?
Xiao Mu, keeping a serious face, sighed again, "Sigh, what you say is true."
"I've already eaten one of your Mysterious Fruits, I shouldn't be greedy."
"After all, you need it for Cultivation. If I take it, how will you Cultivate?"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Ling Xiaomin nodded while listening, thinking that Mr. Mu was at least sensible, knowing she needed it for Cultivation, and couldn't do without those two, no, one Mysterious Fruit.
"So, I can't eat your Mysterious Fruit anymore." Xiao Mu said with a serious face.
"Yes, yes." Ling Xiaomin quickly agreed, worried that Xiao Mu would change his mind.
"How about this, I'll go back to my room and think it over. By the way, what did you ask me just now? You know, as people get older, memory declines, and, just like that, I forgot such an important thing. What was it you asked me?"
Xiao Mu looked earnestly at Ling Xiaomin.
"You're...kidding, right?"
Ling Xiaomin met Xiao Mu's gaze, seeing his feigned innocent look, her lips quivered, almost on the verge of tears.
You won't rest until you trick all my Mysterious Fruits away, will you?
Sha...shameless?
"Mr. Mu, you helped me, and I will always be grateful." Ling Xiaomin quickly and sincerely said, keeping her eyes on Xiao Mu.
I know you're doing this on purpose, can you stop?
"Humbled!"
Xiao Mu appeared greatly surprised, promising, "Rest assured, I will do my best to help you, seriously consider the question you asked. Three days, no, five days, fifteen days, at most a month, I'll come up with a solution for the question you asked. By the way, what did you ask again?"
Mr. Mu, you...are...are too much.
Ling Xiaomin felt a chill in her heart, yet had no way to deal with Xiao Mu.
A month later, Sister Qi must have successfully cultivated the Divine Thought Combination Method and provided Divine Sense for Liu Yan.
If I were to wait that long, why would I need your help?
Furthermore, you claim you've forgotten the question I asked, so what are you thinking about?
You're not satisfied until you trick all my Mysterious Fruits away, are you?
"Mr. Mu, please wait, wait, please wait." Seeing Xiao Mu about to get up and return to his room, Ling Xiaomin panicked and quickly grabbed the corner of Xiao Mu's clothing, preventing him from leaving.
