Chapter 954 Unreasonable Behavior
Chapter 954 Unreasonable Behavior
Something's not right, something's really not right!
Wu Xuan probably has ulterior motives. Judging from what Xiao Shu said, Wu Xuan has always liked to compete with Wu Yao since they were little. Could this woman be trying to prove something to me?
Zhao Mu was immediately horrified.
If it were anyone else, with such a beautiful woman, he would probably take advantage of the situation, have his way with her, and then leave, becoming a shameless scumbag.
But this is Wu Xuan, the strongest of the current Martial God bloodline, and also the most valued junior by the Grand Elder.
If he really dares to do that, not only will the Grand Elder of Wudi City chase him for eight hundred streets, but even Wu Huang will probably have to teach him a lesson.
After all, no matter what, Wu Xuan is undoubtedly the genius of Martial Emperor City, the most outstanding and the most promising person in the lineage of the Grand Elder.
Ultimately, Wudi City is in the same camp as him. The conflict between the Grand Elder and Wudi should be resolved internally. It's not good to treat each other as enemies. After all, it's just a clash of ideologies.
It's okay to escalate the issue, but resorting to violence is not.
That's why he was willing to cooperate with Wu Xuan during the Fire God Festival.
If she were truly an enemy, who would care about her?
Even if they do cooperate, they'll definitely rip people off in the end.
"A wronged little wife?"
Wu Xuan blinked her bright eyes at Zhao Mu a few times, then shook her head slightly and said, "Zhao Mu, are you confessing your feelings to me? Do you want me to be your little wife? If Wu Yao knew, you'd probably..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't misunderstand me."
Zhao Mu was utterly speechless. This was how rumors started. He stared at Wu Xuan and asked bluntly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"You and Wu Yao are Daoist partners, making you the son-in-law of our Martial Emperor City. As a resident of Martial Emperor City, isn't it normal for me to cultivate a good relationship with you?"
Wu Xuan wore a matter-of-fact expression, then added, "Besides, didn't we work well together at the Fire God Festival last time?"
"I just think you're a nice person and want to be friends with you."
"But who would have thought you would actually..."
As she spoke, Wu Xuan looked down at her arm that Zhao Mu had grabbed, and said with some grievance, "He actually touched me. No one has ever touched me before."
"..."
Zhao Mu was speechless. Where did your arrogance go?
She seems like a drama queen no matter how you look at her.
Hey ~
He couldn't help but sigh deeply. A hard approach was clearly not going to work, and if he tried a soft approach, Wu Xuan would most likely take advantage of the situation and cling to him. He was at his wit's end.
"Alright, fine, we're friends now. I'll accept you as a friend, is that alright?"
Zhao Mu stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the table. He waved to Wu Xuan and said, "Alright, that's enough. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"
"By the way, Golden Dragon Marrow and Ninth Princess, don't even think about it. If you get beaten up, don't blame me for not warning you."
After saying that, Zhao Mu prepared to leave, but Wu Xuan would not let him have his way. She flashed to the door, opened her arms to block Zhao Mu's way, and said somewhat domineeringly, "No, you can't just leave like this. You have to make things clear. You touched me, so you have to take responsibility."
"What?"
Zhao Mu gradually lost his patience and said casually, "Could it be that you want me to go to Martial Emperor City to propose marriage to the Grand Elder?"
"No need for that. Just tell me where you live, and I'll follow you."
???
Zhao Mu stared at the woman speechlessly, his head full of question marks. "So, all this fuss was just to follow me?"
Slowly, he seemed to understand something. His eyes flashed, and he stared into Wu Xuan's bright eyes, asking directly, "For the Golden Dragon Marrow? You want to get the Golden Dragon Marrow from me?"
"Yes!"
Wu Xuan made no attempt to hide anything, stating directly, "I want the Golden Dragon Marrow, and I know you can definitely get it."
Call ~
Zhao Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he's back to normal, that's fine. To be honest, he was genuinely a little afraid of that clingy, naive version of Wu Xuan from earlier. He couldn't hit her, he couldn't scold her, and he couldn't get rid of her; she was a real headache.
As for the Golden Dragon Marrow....
To be honest, this thing wasn't essential to him. He just didn't know if he'd have any left over after Xia Ruoxi asked for three drops.
Of course, whether or not to give any surplus to Wu Xuan depends on Wu Yao's decision.
He dared not make a decision on his own. If he gave it to Wu Xuan in private, and then that woman went to Wu Yao to show it off, Zhao Mu felt that he probably wouldn't be able to touch the rich girl for a long time.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this rich young woman seems so compliant; she has her temper too.
Therefore, it's best to just gloss over it and get rid of Wu Xuan.
"How could I not know? I'm sure I can get the Golden Dragon Marrow?"
Zhao Mu countered with a question.
"Then what are you doing in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty? Isn't it all for the Golden Dragon Marrow?"
Wu Xuan gave her a look that said, "Don't try to fool me."
"Hey!"
Zhao Mu immediately chuckled, put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile, "Don't you know that Xia Ningzhi, the Ninth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, is my fellow disciple? I came here at her invitation, purely to have some fun."
"Play?"
Wu Xuan curled her lips and said, "Who would believe that? That silly girl Wu Shu already let it slip. You're the kind of guy who won't get up early for nothing. If there's no benefit to be gained, you won't have time to wander around."
"Coming to the capital of Great Xia at this time? Do you think I'm as easy to fool as Wu Shu?"
"You're either here for Xia Ningzhi's people, or you're here for the Golden Dragon Marrow."
"If it's the former, then you can get both the person and the item; if it's the latter, the Golden Dragon Marrow won't escape your grasp either."
"Zhao Mu, I don't need much, just one drop is enough."
"Of course, I won't take your things for nothing. Just tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you as long as I can afford it. If it's too precious, I can ask my family for it."
In short, I will never let you suffer a loss.
"Otherwise, if Wu Yao finds out, she'll probably come looking for me to fight again."
After all that talk, it seems this Golden Dragon Marrow is quite important to Wu Xuan.
But this woman hadn't slept with him, so why should he help her? It was better to avoid trouble. He immediately retorted, "How can you be so sure I can get the Golden Dragon Marrow? Just because I'm handsome?"
"Pooh!"
What a narcissist! Although she didn't understand what "handsome" meant, Wu Xuan could roughly grasp the meaning. It was probably a description like "handsome" or something similar. But then again, this guy is indeed good-looking. No wonder Wu Yao fell for him.
"Hey! It's rude of you to spit!"
"Humph~"
Wu Xuan snorted and stuck out her tongue, saying, "My saliva smells good, not bad."
"..."
Zhao Mu was speechless for a moment. Why did he have this feeling that this woman's personality was similar to that of that little brat Wu Shu?
It's quite versatile!
"I don't care, I just know you'll get the Golden Dragon Marrow, I want a drop!"
"..."
