Chapter 76, Question 1.5
"Ah, I've been found out." Mu Yegui swallowed the candy crumbs in her mouth, wrapped herself up in the blanket like a ball with only her small head and her hands sticking out of the blanket.

Her cool, silver eyes gazed at Shu Ming, her calm tone carrying a hint of confusion. In her soft, childlike voice, she said, "Mr. Shu Ming is really sensitive. I clearly didn't express that meaning at all."

"I thought the emotions I inadvertently revealed just now were enough to get your attention, as long as you're not an idiot." Shu Ming glanced down at the empty coffee cup, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Mu Yegui lay on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the black remote control not far away. She tried to reach it, but her arms were too short, and she was always a little too far away. She pursed her pink lips and rolled around on the sofa a few times, attempting to shorten the distance between herself and the remote control, but it seemed to get further and further away.

Grabbing the blanket wrapped around him with one hand, he moved like a caterpillar, using the other hand as if climbing, and finally managed to reach the remote control.

"What are you doing?" Shu Ming peeked out from the kitchen and immediately saw Mu Yegui, who was restless on the sofa and was trying to hijack the remote control.

When Mu Yegui realized that his actions had been discovered, he quickly withdrew his hand and pretended to be a good boy.

Shu Ming: "..." Calling her a child is really not an exaggeration.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear something strange. She slowly got up and turned to look at the French windows of the balcony. Her cool, round silver eyes turned into vertical pupils for a moment, but returned to normal the next second.

"What's wrong?" Shu Ming squinted and chuckled as he stood in the kitchen without coming out.

"Don't move." Mu Yegui wrapped the blanket around himself, jumped off the sofa, and rushed towards the balcony. He kicked the balcony glass and shattered it. With a 'clang', the short sword in his hand collided with the bullet, sparks flying.

She casually deflected the incoming bullet and stood on the clothes rack in front of the balcony, letting the wind blow and the rain wash over her. Apart from the blanket she was wearing, nothing else got wet.

Her cool, silver eyes gazed silently into the distance, watching the sniper get hit by a stray bullet and fall from the building. Only then did she return to the balcony, casually sheathing her short sword, and say to Shu Ming, who was still in the kitchen, "Someone was sniping at you just now."

"Where did you draw your sword from?" Shu Ming asked with a light laugh.

Mu Yegui: "..." This person is too sensitive; he can even notice this.

Mu Yegui pursed her pink lips, seemingly considering how to give a more reasonable explanation. Finally, ignoring Mu Yin's attempts to stop her, she said, "That's my symbiotic organism. Before I pulled it out, nothing could touch it, so it would naturally pass through any object, including clothes."

In other words, the sword was actually hanging at her waist the entire time, and even when she was wearing clothes, it would naturally pass through them and remain visible outside. At that moment, nothing could touch it; even inanimate objects like clothes would simply pass through them instead of being covered. Only after it was pulled out could it be touched by anything else.

It is a companion creature that the Samuro clan must seek out from birth. After the two meet, it will take on a corresponding weapon form according to the Samuro's thoughts and survive by relying on the Samuro's own flesh and blood energy.

Simply put, it's more like a parasitic organism clinging to its host, a relationship of mutual dependence.

The scabbard couldn't be removed, because it had become part of her body from the moment she became parasitic. In other words, the sword was like her other hand and eye; the two couldn't be separated. Similarly, only weapons transformed from this parasite could injure Samuro.

“I’ve heard of this kind of cosmic creature before. It seems to be a companion creature of the extinct Samuro race. However, after the Samuro race went extinct, this creature also went extinct because it lost its host organism.” Shu Ming paused and then said with certainty, “You really are the only Samuro that has survived the rumors. I’m really surprised. I don’t know how you survived that explosive cosmic catastrophe ten thousand years ago.”

"I don't know." His voice lowered slightly, filled with displeasure, and his cold, dark gold vertical pupils stared silently at Shu Ming, as if warning him not to go too far.

Before Mu Yegui could realize what was happening, Mu Yin seized control of the body and sat down on the sofa, grinning as he said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Mu Yin. I have no recollection of the disaster you mentioned, but I was indeed born long before that. It seems that the historical facts of you humans are not trustworthy."

"Trust... that kind of thing only exists when there's mutual exploitation, because that's when it's worth trusting." Shu Ming's words were somewhat difficult to understand, as if he was referring to something else.

Mu Yin crossed his legs, holding a short sword in one hand and stroking its sharp edge with the other, a mischievous smile playing on his delicate face. His tone was as if he were just joking, but his dark golden vertical pupils were filled with contempt for everything; nothing was worth his attention.

“I have something to ask you, and please answer truthfully. Don’t worry, the expressionless woman can’t hear me right now, and I’m not her, so if your answer doesn’t satisfy me, I will kill you without hesitation. It’s like you’re threatening her with a gun to her temple; she may not care, but I can’t tolerate it.”

Its small body was filled with an unstoppable aura of terror, like a dreadful demon king descending from hell, carrying a cold killing intent and disregarding all life.

His slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of clear, emerald-like pupils, and a gentle smile still lingered on Shu Ming's lips.

He strolled over and sat down on the sofa opposite Mu Yin, calmly saying, "Ask away."

This posture made it seem as if he didn't care at all whether he would die because of it.

"First, what exactly is your purpose?" Mu Yin asked, holding up one finger.

"Asking such a difficult question right off the bat? Probably killing that rich businessman to avenge my dead friend. My friend was dragged into the newbie dungeon and died as a shield by that rich businessman, so after investigating, I came to the Kingdom of Truth without hesitation." Shu Ming looked down at the remote control on the sofa and said slowly.

His tone sounded nonchalant, as if he didn't care much, but in reality, his eyes were filled with a deep-seated hatred for the wealthy businessman, a hatred he would never regret even if it cost him his life.

Mu Yin curled his lip, clearly finding the answer uninteresting. He crossed his legs and leaned back lazily, saying, "Second question, was it your lover who died?"

"My fiancée, we originally planned to get married after returning to the Empire, but unfortunately, we'll never have the chance again," Shu Ming said calmly, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.

"So, one last question: if I wanted to kill you right now, would you resist?" As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword was pressed against his neck. With a nonchalant smile in his cold, dark gold vertical pupils, Mu Yin asked softly.
