I will return you 10,000 times my money. I am the strongest furnace in the Demon Sect.

Beyond the road to heaven.

Zhao Mu returned to reality and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The battle on the ninth floor only lasted as long as a cup of tea.

Although the four large demonic beasts in the early stages of becoming gods were powerful, Zhao Mu could barely fight them back and forth.

But when the great demon in the middle stage of divine transformation took action, Zhao Mu was unable to hold on and was quickly knocked off the platform.

Although there is a suspicion of being killed at first sight, if Zhao Mu can challenge a few more times and figure out the fighting methods of these monsters, he may be able to persist for a while longer.

However, according to Zhao Mu's estimation, even if he goes all out, he can at most kill two early-stage divine beasts at the same time.

This is the limit of what he can do currently.

Zhao Mu did not continue to challenge the ninth floor.

This time the test is over. Maybe after I have mastered the Eight Desolations Lihuo Jue, I can challenge it again, but there is no need for it now.

Looking up, Zhao Mu found many pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Well done, Senior Brother Zhao!"

"Senior Brother Zhao should have broken the record for the shortest entry time and the highest number of challenge levels."

"You are the pride of our human monks!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, please be a Taoist companion!"

"You old man, why are you joining in the fun? Why don't you, Senior Brother Zhao, come to my house as a guest? My little sister is naturally charming. I guarantee that Senior Brother Zhao will have an unforgettable night."

Good guy, surrounded.

Zhao Mu was worried that if he stayed a little longer, he would be dragged home, so he hurriedly took off with his sword and flew away from the road to heaven.

After returning to the cave, Zhao Mu gave the little bastard a lesson on elixir knowledge. With good luck, he directly broke through and became a third-level alchemist.

Then he began to practice the Eight Desolate Fire Techniques in seclusion.

A few days later.

On this day, Zhao Mu had just finished practicing and was soaking in the hot spring when someone suddenly called outside the cave.

Gentleman Zhao Mu glanced around and was slightly surprised to see the pretty figure standing outside the cave.

It was actually Shi Rui.

Why did she come to the door?

Could it be that he was the one who got into the soul and came here to take responsibility for it?

"Probably not, I'm obviously very careful."

Zhao Mu muttered for a while, then opened the cave door and let Shi Rui in.

"Junior Brother Zhao, excuse me."

Shi Rui bowed and said.

Zhao Mu appeared in front of Shi Rui wearing a large bathrobe.

"Senior Sister Shi, you don't have to be polite. I'm here unexpectedly today. What's the important matter?"

"I heard the news about Junior Brother Zhao coming back a few days ago, but I was busy with work at the time and couldn't take any time off. Today I finally had some free time, so I prepared a small gift and brought it to Junior Brother Zhao, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the previous Junior Brother."

Zhao Mu was even more surprised.

He always gives gifts to others, but today it is really rare that someone comes to give him a gift.

"Senior Sister Shi is so polite. Why don't you bring any gifts when you come?"

"They are all gadgets made by myself, they are worthless."

Shi Rui smiled brightly, waved her little hand, and summoned palm-sized puppet machine beasts.

These puppet beasts are shaped like turtles, and are as white as jade. They can fly and run, and are very agile. As soon as they were released by Shi Rui, they began to run around and were soon dispersed to every corner of the cave to clean and sort out debris. .

"This is a household puppet I made. It can clean, organize, wash and cook, record and receive visitors. It has various functions. With these household puppets, I think it can save Junior Brother Zhao a lot of trouble."

Shi Rui seemed quite proud when introducing her puppets. They were all puppet machine beasts that she independently made and invented. Although they were not high-level and were not qualified for combat, they were definitely useful for handling trivial chores.

"Senior Sister Shi is interested."

Zhao Mu still felt a little strange in his heart. He opened the system interface and checked Shi Rui's favorability score, but unexpectedly found that instead of increasing, the favorability score had dropped to sixty points.

This is because after being bound to the system, the lower limit of favorability is 60, and it is impossible to drop any further.

Without binding, Shi Rui's favorability would have definitely dropped below 60.

But why?

If the goodwill was reduced, why would Shi Rui give herself gifts again.

Could it be that there is some conspiracy?

Or is this gift itself inappropriate?

These puppet machine beasts can be used as handymen if used well, but it also means that they can always monitor Zhao Mu's every move.

Zhao Mu's eyes flashed, as if he realized something.

These bitches are not good people.

This is a bit troublesome.

Zhao Mu was not worried about the potential danger Shi Rui would bring to him. He felt that the troublesome thing was that if Shi Rui became his enemy, her favorability would definitely not be improved. Wouldn't it mean that she would permanently occupy a tied place? Determine quota.

"System, if the bound object dies, will it continue to occupy the binding spot?" Zhao Mu asked in his mind.

"Ding, if the bound object dies unexpectedly, it will be automatically unbound."

That's okay.

Zhao Mu smiled slightly at Shi Rui: "Senior Sister Shi came all the way, why don't you come with me to have dinner before leaving? My master has sent over some meat from the monsters in the God Transformation Realm. It tastes pretty good."

Shi Rui didn't notice any change in Zhao Mu's tone. She nodded and said, "Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey."

After leading Shi Rui back home, Zhao Mu quietly closed the door and activated the formation in the cave, sealing off the entire cave.

But Shi Rui didn't know all this. She kept smiling and chatting with Zhao Mu. Her eyes were full of love. Her cheeks were flushed and her heartbeat was accelerated.

Anyone who saw it would think that Shi Rui had a crush on Zhao Mu.

If he hadn't seen the favorability, Zhao Mu wouldn't have had any doubts.

This woman's acting skills are really good.

Zhao Mu didn't rush to expose him. Since you like to act, I'll play with you.

"Sister Shi, are you in love with me?" Zhao Mu suddenly asked.

"Why did Junior Brother Zhao suddenly ask this? It's embarrassing..." Shi Rui's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her body away and didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Mu's eyes.

That shy little demeanor was extremely well grasped. Even if a veteran in the love field met her, he would probably fall.

Zhao Mu walked over, hugged Shi Rui from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Like means like, seven emotions and six desires are human nature, why should you be shy, you and I have been husband and wife, but we just lack understanding, why don't we get closer and give each other a chance."

"Junior brother, please respect yourself!"

Shi Rui suddenly broke away from Zhao Mu's arms, blushing and said: "I am not the kind of woman who does things casually. Even if you have saved my life, you can't force me. This is not what a gentleman does. If... Junior brother really likes me, I can give you a fair chance to pursue me."

"Senior sister, you are meaningless."

Zhao Mu's expression changed, and he said in a joking tone: "You want to cheat me, but you are not willing to pay. There is no such good thing in the world."

"You... what are you talking about?"

Shi Rui suddenly had a bad feeling, and her tone became flustered.
