Chapter 112 Physical Examination
"Still pretending?
Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? "
Zhao Mu's voice gradually turned cold. Although he had the Crimson Sun Saint Physique and was hot-blooded, at this moment, he was like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years. His voice was like a bone-chilling wind that made Shi Rui's hands and feet cold.
In fact, Zhao Mu only guessed that Shi Rui's purpose for coming here today was definitely not pure based on the drop in her favorability.
However, Zhao Mu did not know her real purpose.
But that did not stop him from looking at Shi Rui.
Shi Rui's eyes flickered. She still refused to admit it and said hurriedly, "Junior Brother Zhao, I think there must be some misunderstanding. You're my savior. I can't even wait to repay you. Why would I harm you?"
"You might not, but that doesn't stop someone from using your hand to deal with me."
Shi Rui indeed had no reason to harm Zhao Mu. However, the Saint Prime Devil Sect was now in troubled times. On the surface, it looked peaceful, but inside, there were undercurrents surging.
Nothing that happened during this period was unexpected.
Shi Rui's eyes flickered. Zhao Mu was keenly aware that there was a slight change in her aura in an instant.
It was as if there was another soul hidden in her body.
Something was wrong!
Zhao Mu did not waste any more time. He instantly pressed Shi Rui to the ground and forcefully poured the Crimson Sun power into her body through her forehead, instantly enveloping her body.
Zhao Mu used the Crimson Sun power to penetrate Shi Rui's body with his divine sense and spread it to every corner. Soon, he found something unusual.
There was a bug the size of a broad bean hidden in Shi Rui's brain.
Gu bug?
No, this bug had no vitality. Its structure was very strange. It seemed to be some kind of puppet.
So that was it.
Shi Rui had been plotted against.
Since he had found the source, it was easy to deal with.
Zhao Mu penetrated the Crimson Sun power into Shi Rui's brain and locked onto the puppet bug. His divine sense pressed down and crushed the puppet bug.
Shi Rui, who was still struggling a second ago, was immediately stunned.
"Junior Brother Zhao … What are you doing …"
"Don't move. You've been framed. I have to give you a full body check to prevent any fish from escaping."
These puppet worms were small in size and were good at hiding. There might be more than one of them, so he had to check carefully.
Before Shi Rui could react, Zhao Mu's big hands had already touched every inch of her body. He carefully checked inside and out. After confirming that there were no other Puppet Worms, Zhao Mu was completely relieved.
Shi Rui didn't resist the whole time, but her little face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.
Zhao Mu pulled her up and told her everything that had happened.
"How could this be? I've been cultivating in seclusion at home. Just now, I suddenly had the idea of coming to see you. Then, some puppets appeared in my hands. However, those puppets were not refined by me at all. Yet, I didn't feel anything wrong about it. During this period of time, my consciousness has been muddled, as if it had been sealed."
"I've already taken out that Puppet Worm. See if you have any impression of it."
Zhao Mu showed the crushed Puppet Worm to Shi Rui.
"This is indeed a puppet. Its structure is very exquisite and complicated. In the entire Saint Prime Devil Sect, only a few people have the ability to make it … Could it be Senior Brother Zuo? No, he left the Devil Sect after the hunting day and hasn't returned yet."
Shi Rui looked uneasy. Her body had been controlled by a Puppet Worm without her noticing. This was really a little scary.
Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao saw through it. Otherwise, she didn't know what would have happened.
"Zuo Xiangying."
This guy might attack him. Although he had left the Devil Sect, it wasn't impossible for him to secretly control a puppet to control Shi Rui's movements.
However, Zhao Mu was more worried about another outcome.
The person behind this might not have planned to hide such a small trick from Zhao Mu.
This was purely a declaration of war against Zhao Mu. It was a declaration that from now on, there would be countless methods waiting to be used on him.
This was a declaration of war against Zhao Mu by the Demon Race!
If that was the case, then it would be interesting.
"Kong Miaoyin, Long Tianxiang, or Han Rong …"
Zhao Mu muttered. It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the following period of time.
"Junior Brother Zhao, what do you plan to do now? Do you want to tell your masters about this? They definitely won't sit by and do nothing."
"There's no need to disturb them now." Zhao Mu shook his head.
Empress Qing Yun being injured was the most important thing to the Devil Sect. The elders must have more important things to do.
"I'll deal with whatever comes my way. I'd like to see what other methods they have."
Zhao Mu continued, "By the way, you can't go back now. Otherwise, you'll be in danger. Stay with me for the time being."
"Is … is this appropriate?" Shi Rui's face was slightly red.
"I'm also thinking about your safety. Senior Sister Shi, don't worry too much. I'm a decent person. I won't take advantage of you."
Shi Rui thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"Then I'll have to bother you for this period of time."
Zhao Mu smiled.
He entered the system interface again and checked Shi Rui's favorability.
The current favorability was 82. Not only did it recover, it even increased a little.
Zhao Mu thought for a moment and took out the seventh-grade magic artifact, the Frozen Bone Incense Fan, which he obtained on the Path to Heaven.
"This is the magic artifact I obtained on the Path to Heaven. When I saw it, I felt that it was very compatible with Senior Sister Shi. Now, I'm giving it to Senior Sister. I hope Senior Sister won't reject it."
Zhao Mu stuffed the Icy Bone Fragrant Fan into Shi Rui's hand and held her soft little hand as he spoke in a gentle voice.
"Ding, you've given away the seventh-grade magic artifact, the Frozen Bone Incense Fan. You've triggered a thousandfold return. You've obtained the ninth-grade magic artifact, the Enchanting Incense Fan."
"Ding, Shi Rui's favorability + 5."
Zhao Mu's sincere gaze touched Shi Rui's heart. For a moment, her heart was in a mess. She wanted to turn around, but Zhao Mu pulled her into his arms.
Zhao Mu leaned close to Shi Rui's ear and said softly, "Senior Sister, I didn't check carefully enough just now. Why don't you follow me back to my room? I'll check you carefully again."
"No … no …"
"Senior Sister, you're not willing?"
Shi Rui blushed and said, "Let's get rid of the puppets outside first. They might be monitoring everything in the cave."
Whoosh.
Zhao Mu's footsteps were like the wind. He quickly went out and circled around. After a while, he caught all the turtle-shaped household puppets and burned them to ashes in front of Shi Rui.
Shi Rui heaved a sigh of relief.
A moment later, Shi Rui followed Zhao Mu to the bedroom and began a physical examination that lasted several hours.
Meanwhile.
Wisdom King's Cave.
Han Rong, who had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared here.
She shook her head. "Zhao Mu is indeed very vigilant. He saw through my plan."
"Junior Sister Han, you underestimate Zhao Mu too much. His growth can't be judged by common sense. You need to change your impression of him." Kong Miaoyin said lightly.
Han Rong looked at Kong Miaoyin with admiration. "Senior Sister, why do we have to spend so much effort on Zhao Mu? He's just a Heaven's Pride of the Human Clan. It's not worth wasting time and energy on him. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just kill him?"
"Do you really think Zhao Mu is just an ordinary human?"
Kong Miaoyin's eyes were like swords. She suddenly stared at Han Rong. "Have you ever heard of the Human Emperor's bloodline?"
