I Made The World Mutate

"Old Xiao, stop gloating. If I can't do it, you think you can?" Du Wenzhen retorted stubbornly.

"Forget it!"

Xiao Mu gently shook his head, too lazy to argue with Du Wenzhen any further. He looked at Liu Yan and said plainly, "Liu Yan, surrender now. The crimes you've committed are serious. Not even Yan Ming could save you."

"Who do you think you are to meddle in the affairs of the Great Tang's ruins?"

Liu Yan had already noticed Xiao Mu and paid attention to his conversation with Du Wenzhen, but he couldn't recognize Xiao Mu's disguise.

"Foul mouth!"

Xiao Mu snapped coldly. Without moving, the authority of the Prefect was released from his body, a surge of golden light burst forth from him.

This Prefect's authority emanated from Xiao Mu's body, spreading outward and pressing down on Liu Yan from above.

Boom!

Liu Yan involuntarily knelt on the ground, instantly subdued.

"Prefect's authority, you... you are Xiao Mu?"

Subdued on the ground, Liu Yan stared at Xiao Mu with a look of disbelief. At the same time, he was shocked and uneasy. He had ruled the Great Tang's ruins because no one could control him, and everyone feared Yan Ming.

But how could Xiao Mu, who stood on equal ground with Yan Ming as a Grand Elder, ever be intimidated by him?

"Good eyesight!"

Xiao Mu then revealed his true form.

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

Two exclamations of shock came from the corners of the room. Ling Xiaomin and Qi Rong were visibly shaken, their eyes wide with disbelief, almost locked onto Xiao Mu and unable to move.

The two women could hardly believe it. The ordinary Variant in the Mortal Realm who had been living with them in the same house for days was actually a Grand Elder of the Alliance, a terrifying existence who had broken into the True Gods.

Xiao Mu looked down at Liu Yan and said condescendingly, "Now that you know my identity, you should also know that Yan Ming cannot scare me."

"Liu Yan, you were guarding the hidden space of Cangkuo Mountain, yet you allowed the Heavenly Court to open it, letting the powerful ones inside be rescued without a trace. In my opinion, the best solution would be to end you with a slap. But since you're part of the Great Tang ruins, I can't interfere with the punishment they have for you. I hope you endure it, reflect deeply during your detention, and take him away!"

With that, Xiao Mu stepped back.

Crack! Crack! Whoosh!

Du Wenzhen's subordinates immediately stepped forward upon hearing this, using God Imprisoning Shackles and God-binding Ropes to restrain Liu Yan.

With Xiao Mu, a Grand Elder, personally backing them, they were no longer afraid of Liu Yan.

Although Liu Yan was a Divine Spirits Peak powerhouse, with his Divine Sense now restrained, he had no power to resist.

"Haha! Old Xiao, I tricked you, didn't I? If I hadn't pretended to be unable to handle Liu Yan, how could I have lured you to personally capture him?"

Du Wenzhen suddenly laughed proudly at Xiao Mu.

"Keep embellishing your own deeds!"

Xiao Mu stared disdainfully at Du Wenzhen.

Did he really not know what kind of person this guy was? Just a moment ago, he was just saying whatever could save face to cover up his embarrassment.

"Haha, Old Xiao, looks like you don't know me well enough!"

Du Wenzhen, thick-skinned, didn't blush at all from being exposed by Xiao Mu.

After that, Du Wenzhen left with his men, escorting Liu Yan away.

As Du Wenzhen left, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat solemn.

Ling Xiaomin and Qi Rong occasionally glanced at Xiao Mu, but no one dared to speak or even take a deep breath.

Now that this Grand Elder, Xiao Mu, had revealed his true form, he pressured them greatly, even if he did nothing.

"Mr. Mu, are you... are you the Grand Elder Xiao?"

Finally, Ling Xiaomin stuttered as she spoke to Xiao Mu.

"What? Do I not look like him?" Xiao Mu asked with a smile.

"Ah~, you do, you do."

Ling Xiaomin was very nervous, stammering. Perhaps because Xiao Mu seemed kind when speaking, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking, "Grand Elder Xiao, since you are here yourself, why did you have me send the letter to Headquarters then?"

Can I tell you that the reason I had you send the letter to Headquarters was to have it ready for dealing with Yan Ming in the future, and I never actually expected to capture Liu Yan?

With a smile on his face, Xiao Mu answered, "Because I wanted to see you write the letter. How was it? Were you nervous writing it? Afraid of making mistakes? Worried?"

Ling Xiaomin nodded earnestly. Indeed, she had been very nervous and worried about making mistakes while writing the letter, but Xiao Mu's current words made her feel much more at ease, even bringing her a sense of warmth.

It was surprising how approachable this Grand Elder Xiao was.

Ling Xiaomin harbored such thoughts in her heart.

"Xiao Ling, do not be disrespectful to Grand Elder Xiao."

Qi Rong had been listening to Ling Xiaomin and Xiao Mu's conversation. Initially a bit worried, upon hearing this, she also felt that Xiao Mu was quite easy to get along with, so she couldn't help but step forward.

When she got closer, she saluted Xiao Mu, "Qi Rong pays respect to Grand Elder Xiao. Previously, I didn't know it was your true form, Grand Elder Xiao, and I have offended you. Please forgive me, Grand Elder Xiao."

"Enough!"

Xiao Mu glanced at Qi Rong indifferently.

"Grand Elder Xiao, you... you..."

Qi Rong bit her lower lip, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked at Xiao Mu, hesitating to speak.

Soon, however, she turned to Ling Xiaomin, "Xiao Ling, you go back to your room for a bit, let me speak with Grand Elder Xiao alone."

"Sister Qi, you want to speak with Grand Elder Xiao alone? Alright, alright!"

Ling Xiaomin was a bit surprised by Qi Rong's actions, but quickly agreed. After saluting Xiao Mu, she returned to her room.

Qi Rong faced Xiao Mu alone, biting her lips, hesitant to speak.

Xiao Mu looked at her silently, though he was somewhat curious about the reason Qi Rong wanted to speak with him alone. What did she want to say?

"Xiao... Grand Elder Xiao, you... you are the Grand Elder, why... why did you make such a joke with me that day?"

Qi Rong took a deep breath, finally gathered her courage, and stammered out her thoughts to Xiao Mu.

"That day?"

Xiao Mu was slightly puzzled, which day?

"It's the day when you went out and told me you were friends with Director Du of the Great Tang Ruins." Qi Rong's voice involuntarily lowered.

Oh!

Xiao Mu understood, Qi Rong wanted to talk about the proposal he made that day.

Hehe!

He couldn't help but laugh inwardly, Qi Rong suddenly bringing up the on-the-spot suggestion at this time, what did she want to do?

Xiao Mu was puzzled about what she was actually aiming for, so he looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Qi Rong had her head down, seemingly finding it hard to speak, but after a few minutes, she finally mustered the courage to ask, "Xiao... Grand Elder Xiao, I wonder if the proposal you mentioned that day still stands?"

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Mu's face, and he asked in return, "Have you thought it through, and are you willing to offer yourself to me in exchange for the qualification to enter the True Realm?"

"Ah~"

Qi Rong didn't expect Xiao Mu to ask so directly. Startled, she lowered her head in shame. After a while, she murmured softly, "Yes! I... I'm willing to exchange with you, Grand Elder Xiao, for the qualification to enter the True Realm."

Xiao Mu remained silent, suddenly staring straight at Qi Rong without speaking.

This gaze made Qi Rong uneasy. When she raised her head and met Xiao Mu's eyes, she immediately looked away in a fluster, not daring to look at him.

"Hehe!"

Xiao Mu suddenly laughed. Though he was laughing, there was no smile on his face. He stared at Qi Rong and suddenly asked coldly, "When I wanted to exchange with you, you didn't agree. Now, when I don't want to exchange, you suddenly propose the transaction."

"Before proposing the transaction, did you seriously consider whether you are worth a True Realm qualification?"

"Ah~ you... you..."

Qi Rong was stunned, raising her head to look directly at Xiao Mu, whose icy gaze suddenly made her feel immensely humiliated.

However, Xiao Mu's strength, identity, and status prevented her from acting out in any way.

Humiliated tears welled up in her eyes, and soon, she turned and rushed back to her room.

"Wuwu!"

The sound of her shameful sobbing came from Qi Rong's room.

Indeed aware of shame!

Xiao Mu chuckled and walked straight towards the wall. The ordinary wall could not block his steps.

Xiao Mu's body merged directly into the wall, passing through it like an illusion, then soared into the sky, stepping on a multi-colored cloud and flying into the distance.

"Sister Qi, Mr. Mu, Sister Qi, Mr. Mu. Sister Qi, why are you crying? Where is Mr. Mu? Ah..."

Ling Xiaomin came out of her room; she heard Qi Rong sobbing but couldn't find Xiao Mu's presence.

However, soon, Ling Xiaomin, who had walked into the living room, was stunned, her eyes wide open in surprise, staring at the storage box placed on the coffee table.

The storage box was open, containing one hundred high-level energy fruits and two True Realm qualification certificates.
