Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2443: Chapter 2444: Warming Wine and Awaiting Good News

Because he had definite information that Xue An was still in a closed retreat and had not awakened.

Under these circumstances, even if Shen Muyu went, he couldn’t do anything. Surely, he couldn’t act against someone who hadn’t awakened from retreat, right?

The Shen Family couldn’t afford to lose face like that!

Seeing the store manager’s concerns, Shen Muyu let out a light laugh.

"Don’t worry, Store Manager. I’m just going to take a look. If he has awakened, that’s good to know. If not, I’ll act with discretion and won’t cause trouble!"

"Alright then, we’ll wait for you here. Make it quick!"

"Rest assured, I’ll be back within a day! Please wait for a while!"

As he spoke, Shen Muyu turned around, transformed into a beam of sword light, and broke through the space in front of him, disappearing without a trace.

His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, a large hole was left in the space of the hall.

Everyone remained silent.

The Pharmacists’ Alliance was countless miles away, but to Shen Muyu, it seemed like his backyard, a day’s trip to and fro.

He must possess immense strength to confidently make such a claim.

Shen Hongyi looked at the slowly disintegrating space-time passage with a complex expression.

Is this the gap between me and a top-tier Sword Cultivator?

Meanwhile, the store manager said in a deep voice, "Continue preparing the banquet. We’ll wait while warming the wine, awaiting news from the Second Young Master!"

"Yes!"

Today, Ao Shu was on monitoring duty at the defense line.

To say on duty was actually just sitting idly there, staring off into the vast void.

After all, who in the Pharmacists’ Alliance didn’t know this place was tightly sealed?

No one would deliberately come to provoke trouble.

Very soon, Ao Shu yawned out of boredom.

"So boring. Had I known, I should have grabbed a game console from Sister Yan!"

"What’s a game console?" Xiao Gourd suddenly asked from the side.

Todayshe, rarely didn’t stay indoors munching on treasure beads and napping, but instead came to serve on duty at the line.

"It’s a small rectangular box with a screen like a water curtain. You can touch and control it with your hands. It contains many fun mini-games and is very entertaining!"

Xiao Gourd’s eyes lit up, "That sounds interesting. When can I play it too?"

"Sure, Sister Yan has a whole warehouse of game consoles. There’s even one you can control by typing, called a computer, which is also quite fun!" Ao Shu said enthusiastically.

Xiao Gourd seemed eager, "Why don’t you go borrow one from Sister Yan now?"

"Now? But I’m on duty here!" Ao Shu hesitated.

To prevent ill-intentioned individuals from approaching, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady set a rule that different people had to take turns on duty every day.

Today happened to be Ao Shu’s turn. Although it was boring, a rule was a rule, and once set, she had to follow it. Leaving her post without permission was out of the question.

But Xiao Gourd was clearly impatient, "I’m here. After you leave, I can take over your duty!"

"So, should I give it a try?"

Ao Shu was obviously tempted.

For someone who was generally active and disliked staying still, staying here today was indeed too dull.

"Go ahead, go ahead, quickly bring back a game console!" Xiao Gourd urged.

Ao Shu nodded, "Alright, but if the Empress finds out, you have to speak for me!"

To the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Ao Shu actually had an inherent fear.

"Don’t worry!" Xiao Gourd patted her chest in assurance.

At this moment, she wasn’t at all the usually aloof person, acting just like an ordinary child.

But just as Ao Shu was about to leave, the distant void was suddenly shattered, and then a sword light flew straight toward them.

This sudden scene startled Ao Shu, making her abandon her thoughts of leaving, and she sternly yelled.

"Who goes there?"

Her voice carried a hint of dragon roar, forming a faint barrier.

If a normal cultivator ran into it, they’d surely end up with a bruised face.

Yet faced with this barrier, a light laugh came from the sword light, which then abruptly halted in mid-air, coming to a screeching stop just before the barrier.

This miraculous control left Ao Shu startled.

Meanwhile, the sword light dissipated, revealing the figure within.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ao Shu couldn’t help but be taken aback and blurted out.

"Are you a man or a woman?"

The reason was simply that the newcomer was far too beautiful and delicate. If it weren’t for failing to spot any obvious signs, Ao Shu would have thought they were a woman.

The newcomer was none other than Shen Muyu.

He let out a light laugh and cast Ao Shu a meaningful glance, "Dragon Lady?"

Then he slightly raised his brows, "Do you think I’m male or female?"

His voice was lazy and gentle, yet carried a commanding aura.

Ao Shu felt her eyes stinging, her cheeks growing cold, just as she was about to speak.

The Xiao Gourd behind her grabbed her hand.

Ao Shu turned her head to see Xiao Gourd’s face so heavy with trepidation, it changed colors, gesturing her not to speak.

This was something Ao Shu had never seen before.

No matter the situation before, the Xiao Gourd always maintained a calm demeanor.

But this time, she changed so drastically.

At this moment, Shen Muyu suddenly uttered a light ’Oh,’ then with interest exclaimed, "Neither human, nor demon, nor god, nor devil—what a peculiar life form!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gourd’s face expressed even more dread, cautiously retreating backward.

Yet in the next moment, Shen Muyu appeared in front of Xiao Gourd, gently touched her head.

Xiao Gourd froze instantly, not daring to move.

However, Shen Muyu’s action was swift. After a gentle pat, he chuckled lightly.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

Having said that, his figure flickered once again, breaking through the space in front, and vanished.

After he left, Xiao Gourd finally let out a long sigh of relief.

But Ao Shu suddenly cried out, "Oh no, he’s heading in Brother Xue’s direction!"

With that, she leaped up and rushed toward Xue An’s retreat at the center of the battlefield.

She left, and Xiao Gourd stood there momentarily before stomping her foot hard, "All for the game console!"

With that, she too dashed off.

Meanwhile, at the battlefield center, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and An Yan stood side by side, discussing matters concerning Xue An.

"Judging by the current situation, Xue An is expected to wake up in about a month. So you don’t need to worry too much!" said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

"Yes, I understand!" An Yan nodded.

Just after she finished speaking, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady suddenly turned her head, her face revealing an infinitely shocked expression.

"Who goes there?"
