"Take care, Mr. Ming!"

Qi Rong greeted him, and after Mr. Ming took the elevator and left, she returned to her room, holding the Secret Manual, and started reading it directly in the living room.

"Divine Thought Combination Method Secret Manual?"

Xiao Mu already knew the name of the manual and suddenly asked.

"Ah!"

Qi Rong was startled, looking at Xiao Mu in surprise, and said incredulously, "How do you know?"

How could I not know?

Xiao Mu sneered, Liu Yan indeed had ill-intentions, the so-called friendship was just to make Qi Rong his supply source.

Once Qi Rong cultivates the Divine Thought Combination Method, he can have her provide divine thoughts for his cultivation, breaking through realms.

Such a shameless cultivation method, the consequences of its practice have already been reflected in Qu Ling, which Xiao Mu witnessed with his own eyes.

Despite being in the Mid Yin God Realm, Qu Ling's strength was even less than that of an ordinary Early Stage of the Yin God Realm, unable to condense illusion into reality, only managing to gather half.

Moreover, the side effects of cultivation would occasionally occur, causing her divine thoughts to collapse.

Such a True Realm is even worse than a Mortal Realm.

"What do you mean how do I know? Sister Qi, Mr.… Mr. Mu, did you make up?" The sound of the door opening was heard and Ling Xiaomin entered the room from outside.

As soon as she came in, she saw Qi Rong and Xiao Mu talking to each other, her face breaking into a smile. However, when she looked at Xiao Mu, she became uneasy and quickly diverted her gaze from him.

"Who… who made up with him?" Qi Rong blushed in embarrassment.

"Cough, cough!"

Xiao Mu cleared his throat. What was there to reconcile with Qi Rong? He was only getting involved in her affairs to deal with Liu Yan and by extension, target the Eight Grand Elders, having nothing personal to do with Qi Rong herself.

Looking at Ling Xiaomin, he smiled lightly, "You're back?"

"Ah~"

Locking eyes with Xiao Mu, Ling Xiaomin got flustered and quickly said, "I… I spent thirteen Energy Fruits today."

As she spoke, she reached out nervously, pressing on the beige purse slung across her body, while cautiously glancing at Xiao Mu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu laughed and glanced at the purse under Ling Xiaomin's hand.

As she pressed the purse, its angular contents were clearly revealed. Xiao Mu saw it clearly, knowing it was a Storage Box.

He then joked, "Are you trying to tell me you're broke?"

Ling Xiaomin nodded earnestly, "Yes, yes."

"So, what did you buy?" Xiao Mu smiled, his gaze once again falling on the Storage Box inside Ling Xiaomin's purse.

"Ah… I didn't… didn't, I bought nothing." Ling Xiaomin panicked, her small hand pressing on the purse tightened even more. She looked at Xiao Mu with apprehension, her petite body trying hard to shrink away, as if hoping to hide.

"Spent thirteen Energy Fruits and bought nothing?" Xiao Mu continued to smile.

"Yes, yes." Ling Xiaomin nodded vigorously, her hand covering the purse even more firmly.

"If you didn't buy anything, then where did your Energy Fruits go?"

Xiao Mu smiled gently.

"Lost… lost, I lost them!" Ling Xiaomin stammered, but eventually spoke with a bit more conviction. However, there was a trace of unease in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Mu, and her hand instinctively pressed down on her purse again.

"Haha, I don't believe you, unless you let me check your bag."

Xiao Mu suddenly laughed, his eyes fixated on the beige purse in Ling Xiaomin's hand.

"Ah~"

Ling Xiaomin exclaimed in panic, seemingly just realizing the purse under her hand. She quickly glanced down at it, then hastily moved the beige purse behind her, "There's… there's nothing in the bag, nothing worth looking at."

"Sigh!"

Xiao Mu suddenly sighed with a look of sadness and disappointment, "I'm so hurt..."

"Don't… don't."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaomin became anxious and, in a fluster, reached out to try and stop Xiao Mu from afar, "Stop saying that, I bought three, no, two fruits."

Xiao Mu feigned seriousness, "Is it three or two?"

Ling Xiaomin babbled, "Three, no, two, it's two."

Xiao Mu maintained a stern expression, "Is it three or two?"

"Two, two." Ling Xiaomin said frantically.

"Are they tasty?" Xiao Mu asked expectantly.

"No… not tasty, they are for cultivation." Ling Xiaomin carefully replied.

"For me? Haha, you know my strength is low, so you deliberately bought cultivation fruits for me to use, right?"

Ling Xiaomin was about to cry, "No, no, it is… it is for my own cultivation..."

"I'm so sad, low strength, and looked down upon." Xiao Mu began to sigh again.

Seeing Xiao Mu sigh, Ling Xiaomin became anxious and panicked, gesturing helplessly towards Xiao Mu, "Don't… don't say that, how about I… I split one with you?"

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu extended his hand towards Ling Xiaomin, immediately changing his expression.

"Shameless!"

Qi Rong had been watching coldly, staring at Xiao Mu 'deceiving' Ling Xiaomin. At this moment, she could no longer contain herself and cursed angrily.

What does that have to do with you?

Xiao Mu ignored her, continuing to extend his hand to Ling Xiaomin.

"I… I can only give you one." Ling Xiaomin said with a voice that almost cried. She was heartbroken. She had bought just three, no, two Mysterious Fruits in total for cultivating fire attribute special abilities, and now, just coming back, Xiao Mu managed to snatch one from her by pestering.

She began to worry about her fire attribute special abilities cultivation failing.

"Okay!" Xiao Mu agreed, still extending his hand.

Glancing at Xiao Mu's hand, Ling Xiaomin looked at her bag with reluctance. Only then did she struggle to reach inside, opening the Storage Box, and slowly took out a pale yellow fruit, reluctantly placing it into Xiao Mu's hand.

"Xiao Ling, you shouldn't give it to him, shameless! That's the Fire Energy Fruit you specifically bought for cultivating the fire attribute technique; how could he shamelessly take it to eat?"

With an angry shout, Qi Rong couldn't resist standing up to intervene between Xiao Mu and Xiao Ling.

However, Xiao Mu had already placed the Energy Fruit into his mouth, glancing defiantly at Qi Rong before tossing it in, biting it with a crunch, and swallowing it.

"You… you're shameless!" Qi Rong trembled all over with rage.

Xiao Mu said nothing, suddenly staring intently at Qi Rong's face.

"What… what are you looking at!" Qi Rong felt very uncomfortable under Xiao Mu's gaze.

Xiao Mu said seriously, "I'm checking if my mole has grown on your face."

"You… you… shameless!" Qi Rong's face flushed as if burning.

Initially, when arguing with her, Xiao Mu said it was a mole on his own buttocks, and now he suddenly claimed it had grown onto her face.

Recalling the whole context, how could she accept this?

"Sister Qi, let it go, Mr. Mu, let it go, for my sake, could both of you argue a little less?" Ling Xiaomin hurriedly interceded to mediate.

"Hmmph!"

Qi Rong snorted coldly, shooting Xiao Mu a fierce glare before turning her head, though her face still burned with embarrassment.

"Haha! Fine, for your sake, I will relent." Xiao Mu laughed, nodding at Ling Xiaomin.

This attitude made Ling Xiaomin suddenly flustered as she recalled something, quickly dashing back into her room, and coming out shortly after.

The bag remained, but Xiao Mu's keen Divine Eye spotted that the Storage Box inside was gone, replaced with a square box similar in shape.

He couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Xiao Mu's smile, Ling Xiaomin became flustered and instinctively tugged at her bag, trying to maintain her composure.

"Shameless!"

Qi Rong couldn't help but curse under her breath, but this time she didn't dare to target Xiao Mu directly, fearing further humiliation.

"Sister Qi, do you have a Secret Manual? What kind of manual is it?" Ling Xiaomin's gaze finally landed on the Secret Manual in Qi Rong's hand.

"Divine Thought Combination Method." Qi Rong said the name of the manual, and as she spoke, she instinctively started to turn her head to look at Xiao Mu, but stopped halfway, appearing awkward.

Having just been taken advantage of by Xiao Mu, she didn't want to see him now, fearing he would say something unpleasant again.
