"Ah~, what... what are you doing?"

Du Yao was very flustered, her face flushed red, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Mu laughed and said, "Of course, we're just chatting, what do you think I was going to do?"

"Sor... sorry!" Du Yao's face turned red again, nervously apologizing to Xiao Mu.

"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you apologizing to me?" Xiao Mu smiled again and instructed, "Chat with me."

"Chat?" Du Yao was stunned, this request was too strange, especially since her personality was such that she wouldn't usually chat with others.

"Yes!" Xiao Mu nodded, "You've changed quite a bit recently, you're more confident and cheerful than before."

"Me?"

Du Yao was surprised, Xiao Mu's evaluation of her was astonishing; had she really changed that much?

"Yes, you've indeed changed quite a lot, but it's still not enough."

Xiao Mu nodded again, "You need to keep communicating more with people, so chat with me. Chatting is the best way to communicate, it's the simplest way to open your heart."

"This..." Du Yao hesitated, instinctively lowering her head, "I... I don't know what to say."

"You've lowered your head again."

Xiao Mu looked at Du Yao, smiled, lifted her chin with a finger, and softly said, "Remember, don't lower your head easily, it will make people think you are timid and introverted."

"Even if you don't know what to say, there's no need to lower your head. You can communicate with others with your head held high."

"Ye... yes!" Du Yao was a bit flustered, her eyes avoiding his.

Xiao Mu released his finger and laughed, "It's okay not to know what to say, just talk about what's around you. Whatever comes to mind, just say it. What are you thinking about right now?"

"I..."

Du Yao hesitated, but under Xiao Mu's encouraging gaze, she nervously said, "Grand Elder Xiao, do you think the usage price of True God Level Treasures will one day come down?"

True God Level Treasures?

Xiao Mu was stunned, he really didn't expect Du Yao to ask such a question, and then he laughed, "Are True God Level Treasures really that expensive? From what I know, to use it once, depending on the treasure's level, it costs about one thousand to five thousand Energy Fruits, right?"

At the Headquarters, there will be many True God Level Treasures available for Mutated Beings to use. These treasures are mainly for auxiliary purposes, and there are very few offensive treasures.

Like the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Jade in the Soul Cultivation Pavilion.

Du Yao mumbled softly, cautiously saying, "Of... of course, it wouldn't be expensive for you, but for ordinary Mutated Beings, it's still... still very expensive."

"Ordinary Mutated Beings generally don't use True God Level Treasures much either, right?"

Xiao Mu chuckled, but then he saw Du Yao's disappointed expression and quickly added, "I'll take note of your suggestion and reflect it back to the Headquarters. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to tell me."

"No... no more!"

Du Yao returned to her reserved self.

"Really no more?"

Du Yao shook her head forcefully.

"Alright then!"

Xiao Mu was somewhat disappointed, and continued guiding her, "Shall we talk about something else?"

After that, Du Yao seemed to lose the ability to speak again, her words becoming fewer, even though Xiao Mu deliberately guided her, it was mostly him talking and Du Yao listening.

Pop!

In Xiao Mu's Divine Sense, after being infused with the power of the Unique Fragrance of Eternity, the Calamity Death Worm finally shattered with a pop, dissolving into pure power of authority, disappearing into Xiao Mu's Divine Sense.

"Al... alright!" Du Yao seriously said to Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao, the Calamity Death Worm has been dispelled, but the forces of calamity and death are still inside your body and could reassemble at any time."

"When it reassembles, come find me."

"Thank you, you've done well!"

Xiao Mu casually complimented, glancing at Du Yao with a smile, "If there's anything you need help with, you can also tell me."

"Ye... yes!" Du Yao answered very cautiously.

Afterward, Xiao Mu said his goodbyes, and Du Yao saw him out.

After Xiao Mu left, as soon as Du Yao returned to Room Seven, Xu Meng came out, looking at Du Yao with envy and said, "I'm so jealous you have such great support, Du Yao, you're really lucky!"

"Ah~, ye... yes!" Du Yao replied haltingly.

Xiao Mu is indeed a great support. At least, with Xiao Mu as her backing, no one in Mengtian Pavilion dares to bully her anymore. Even the manager and the pavilion master talk to her politely, and she's enjoying treatment that even other Grand Elders' exclusive Mengtian Angels don't get.

Xu Meng stared at Du Yao for a moment in confusion, then asked, puzzled, "Strange, why don't you tell Grand Elder Xiao about your situation? With his ability, helping you would be just a word away, wouldn't it?"

Du Yao turned to look at Xu Meng, and surprisingly, didn't avoid her gaze.

Even though her heart was still timid, she remembered what Grand Elder Xiao had taught her, to remain calm when speaking to people, and after a few times, she firmly remembered it in her heart.

What Grand Elder Xiao taught, she would listen to.

Looking directly at Xu Meng, she controlled her tone to be as calm as possible, "I can't."

"Why not? Are you afraid Grand Elder Xiao won't help you? I don't think he's that kind of person." Xu Meng was puzzled and also surprised at the change in Du Yao.

This Du Yao, why is she so different from before?
