What does she mean?

Is she serious?

Staring at these four simple words, Xiao Mu felt an immense sense of weight all of a sudden.

He had only said it casually, he hadn't expected Zhao Yan to take it to heart.

Upon thinking about it, he couldn't resist sending another message, "I was just kidding!"

It took a while for Zhao Yan to finally respond, "I took it seriously!"

The atmosphere seemed to have instantly become heavy.

Within half a second of sending that message, another one popped up.

"You weren't really joking, were you?"

Xiao Mu was feeling all sorts of emotions, and he could feel the weight of the situation even through the phone screen. He instantly regretted the message he had sent.

Why on earth did he have to send that message?

Feeling regretful, he immediately responded with another message, "It started as a joke, but after hearing you, I'm not joking anymore."

The atmosphere lightened up almost instantly. Zhao Yan sent a smiling emoji, followed by a message, "Glad to know you were serious!"

Reading this message brought a sigh of relief to Xiao Mu.

He almost made a huge mistake!

"If you have anything of value, hand them over to me when you have time, and I'll deal with it. Considering your spending habits, we'll be broke in no time," She messaged again after a while.

'We'?

A peculiar feeling crossed Xiao Mu's mind.

So quickly it has turned to 'we'?

She's already managing all the house affairs?

She's adapted to her role as the head lady of the house remarkably fast!

Well, this is good news anyway.

"Okay!"

Xiao Mu responded before adding, "I don't have many valuable things, just a golden ink pot made from eighty-year-old peach wood. It's potential is limited due to its age. I plan on crafting it again in the future with century-old peach wood. I'll hand it over to you for handling then."

"Also, I have some Dao talismans. The lower-grade ones can be sold. When I have some free time, I'll make some to give to you for selling eventually."

"Okay!" Zhao Yan responded.

※※※

After putting down his phone, Xiao Mu found his feelings inexplicably mixed.

Having another woman in his life seemed like an added burden, he no longer had the freedom he once enjoyed being a single man.

But regardless, having confirmed this relationship, he not only gained access to additional resources, but also a person he could truly trust.

Xiao Mu's feelings were a mixture of happiness and worry, though, the emotions of joy definitely outweighed the worry.

Three days later, Zhao Yan brought over the Imperial Edict.

Xiao Mu received it, handing over the golden ink pot and a batch of regular Dao talismans that he had made in his spare time for her to sell.

Ordinary Dao talismans weren't worth much. The high-grade talismans couldn't be sold because without the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, nobody could use them properly.

But regardless, every bit counted, even the smallest mosquito could provide sustenance to Xiao Mu, who spent money like water.

Zhao Yan took the Dao talismans and the golden ink pot and went her way.

Xiao Mu returned home with the Imperial Edict and immediately started modifying it.

He pointed at the edict with his finger and two options appeared:

1. Magical Implements.

2. Order Edict.

Without any hesitation, he chose Order Edict. Like the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, this Imperial Edict consumed five of Xiao Mu's Energy Points.

The next moment, an ordinary-looking, plain golden Imperial Edict appeared in front of Xiao Mu.

"Why does it look so ordinary, not at all like a treasure?"

Looking at the plain golden Imperial Edict which had nothing special about it, Xiao Mu was puzzled, but could not resist reaching out to touch it.

Buzz!

The Imperial Edict suddenly floated up, emitting the Emperor's Might, releasing strands of the Golden Glow, and filling the room with a peculiar fragrance.

At the same time, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor unexpectedly responded in unison, automatically flying out of Xiao Mu's backpack.

One Seal, One Order simultaneously emitted a golden glow, resonating and stirring each other up.

The room was filled with the Emperor's Might.

Zzzle!

A peculiar vision was steaming!

On the floor, spore-like plants seemed to be growing, and inconspicuously, a head began to appear.

For a moment, if you looked carefully, Xiao Mu's room's floor was covered with thread-like hairs.

That was the spore plants forcing themselves to sprout from the ground, breaking through the floor.

Under the mutual reflection of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, this wonderful vision was demonstrated to the extreme, causing the spore plants to germinate.

Despite being inside a room, despite being on a concrete floor.

This was the Great Decree, used for ennoblement, bringing all kinds of beauty.

Both thunder and dew are the grace of the ruler.

The Great Kill Command was used for punishment. If the Great Kill Command could be compared to thunder, then the Great Decree would be dew.

It was for this reason that it brought about all kinds of beautiful weather.

This beautiful weather would inevitably improve as the levels of the Great Decree increased.

"This …"

The scene in the room gave Xiao Mu a sense of absurdity.

Spore plants were growing on the concrete floor. He would have to clean up later. Fortunately, the Great Decree and the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor were still at a low level, so the visions created were weak and the spore plants were small, making them relatively easy to clean. It would be fine to sweep them up with a broom and then mop the floor.

Otherwise, if large trees were to grow in the room, ignoring the possibility of the house collapsing, it would be difficult for Xiao Mu to explain to the landlord.

And that's not all.

Immediately after, rustling sounds came from the room as small insects crawled out from some unknown corner.

However, at this moment, under the mighty suppression of the Emperor's Might, these tiny insects one by one lay on the ground, motionless, showing an attitude of worship.

In addition to insects, there were also spiders, mice. The sheer number startled Xiao Mu, making him wonder how his room could have so many bugs and rodents.

"Imperial edict! From this day forward, leave this room and never return!"

Xiao Mu casually issued an imperial decree to these insects, plants, and mice.

Insects, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, mice, all animals and insects bowed their heads in worship, shivering with fear.

Following that, they orderly left Xiao Mu's room.

The room was cleaned, and there were no more bugs or rodents.

"It's pretty good for cleaning the room!"

Looking at the now clean room, Xiao Mu nodded and couldn't help but say this sentence.

However, immediately after, he couldn't help but laugh.

Using treasures like the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree for pest control seems a bit overkill, doesn't it?

It's really a waste!

Unforgivable!

"It would be nice if it could transform again."

Packing up the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and holding the Great Decree, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel some regret.

At this time, the Great Decree had only transformed once. If it could transform twice, its power would certainly be further enhanced.

Unfortunately, he only had 6 Energy Points left, which was not enough to transform the Great Decree again.

"I'll figure out how to get some Energy Points first."

Xiao Mu made a decision quickly.

After packing up the Great Decree, Xiao Mu logged onto the Local Forum.

Before he even entered, Xiao Mu sensed something different.

The Local Forum today seemed extraordinarily active.

The number of new discussion threads was more than ten times the usual.

Could it be that something significant had happened?

Curious, Xiao Mu clicked to enter.

A post with the title in bold red letters was highlighted and pinned to the top—Local Heroes Team Strength Rankings.

The poster was Bai Xiaosheng, who hadn't appeared for a long time.
