Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

boom!

The Woma Warrior took the hit head-on, and was knocked backward, with a number floating above his head.

-520!

The Woma Warrior was thrown back two steps by the blow, and was almost knocked to the ground by the petite Gu An.

Lin Mu's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. What kind of injury was that?

Gu An and Cai Ling were also stunned. They both looked at Lin Mu, then at the -520 damage still visible above the Woma Warrior's head, their eyes filled with shock. The damage amplification effect of this red poison was simply outrageous.

Lin Mu looked at the 520 and a thought suddenly popped into his head. "Look at my Gu An, he loves me so subtly, even the hurt he inflicts is shaped like love. I've received it."

However, that negative sign at the beginning is a bit of a mood killer, but oh well, let's not worry about those details.

Gu An gave it no chance to catch its breath. She took a step forward, closing in again, and the flames on the Staff of Judgment reignited.

The second strike, the Fiery Sword Technique.

Your weapon is scorching hot from the spiritual fireball.

boom!

-499

The Woma Warrior had just regained his balance when he was hit again, staggered back two steps, and finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Lin Mu's mouth hung open, unable to close it for a long time. Dual Blazing Flames? This girl knows Dual Blazing Flames? He'd lost all his chance to give her some pointers and ease the tension.

Gu An didn't stop. She took another step forward, placing herself one body length away from the Woma Warrior who was struggling to get up from the bed. She gripped her staff with both hands and swung it twice. White light shone on the staff, forming sword energy like wind blades that detached from the tip of the staff.

Assassination swordsmanship.

The Woma Warrior was swept by the very tip of the sword energy, which ignored the Woma Warrior's thick skin and went straight through to its bones and flesh.

-208, -208, -208...

Lin Mu was completely impressed. Damn, that consistent damage, and it's even with a level 9 set!

Here's an explanation: since it's a level 9 set, why isn't the second attack, "Fierce Fire," dealing 520 damage? Because the monster's defense fluctuates. A Woma Warrior's defense ranges from 8 to 30. The first attack coincided with a low point in this defense fluctuation, resulting in a high damage of 520. The second attack, however, encountered a high point, dealing a lower damage of 499. Therefore, the two attacks dealt different damage.

This also proves that the first cut reveals a deeper love. The Woma Warriors are willing to bear witness.

As for the assassination sword technique, the spaced-out assassination ignores defense, and every strike is consistently at its maximum value.

Lin Mu did a quick mental calculation and found that Gu An's attack power was 104 points.

That's a true master. His previous self-proclaimed title of "master in plain clothes" was just a facade.

Gu An's meaning now is: I gave you a chance. I originally wanted to communicate with you as an ordinary person, but you didn't appreciate it. Now I'm not pretending anymore; I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm a Fiery Judgment Warrior—thick, dark, long, hard, and capable of catching fire—level 35 or higher.

However, judging from the damage of that fire attack, it seems to be only level 3 fire, so the level must be at least level 40...

Lin Mu was now only thinking that he had to cling to this powerful figure. He had just looked down on them; how embarrassing! How was he going to start talking to them later?

Lin Mu was stunned when Gu An launched another attack and assassination combo. In the end, the Woma Warrior collapsed to the ground, completely defeated, amidst the unique shout of "Hah!" from the female warrior, a shout of "Attack and Kill Sword Technique".

After defeating the Woma Warrior, Gu An turned around and charged towards Lin Mu with a savage charge.

Meanwhile, the verdict was dragged on the ground, making a clattering sound.

Lin Mu felt that Gu An was running really fast. The moment he had this thought, Gu An was already right next to him. Then Lin Mu felt like he had been hit by a car and took two steps back, with -5 floating above his head.

By the time Lin Mu realized what was happening, Gu An had already stopped and was standing very close to him.

Gu An, whose chest was almost pressed against Lin Mu's, raised his head slightly, stared at Lin Mu, gritted his teeth, and said, word by word, "Say it again, what do you like?"

Looking at Gu An, who was furious and still holding the verdict, Lin Mu blurted out, "Woman, woman, I like women."

Gu An stared at him, still angry.

Lin Mu quickly added, "I absolutely love women, I swear."

As she spoke, she observed Gu An's features, "I not only like women, but I especially like women who wear men's clothing and... uh, women who can pull out a big stick. When I go upstairs... no, when I visit brothels, that's my standard. I don't choose women who don't wear men's clothing and can't pull out a big stick..."

Gu An listened to the increasingly outrageous absurd statement, her face turning red and then white. She quickly waved her hand, saying, "I know, I know, stop talking!"

Cai Ling was also a little embarrassed, because she was now dressed as a man.

Lin Mu wisely shut his mouth, because he was also running out of ideas to make up.

As soon as he relaxed, he felt pain all over his body. He muttered to himself, "A car without airbags hurts so much in a crash, and now I feel like my body is falling apart." So, the "flat" setting was because it provided a skill bonus; no wonder they hadn't improved it.

We walked a little further and fought two waves of monsters.

Since what happened earlier, Gu An has started to focus on fighting monsters instead of just watching the show with his arms crossed. But Lin Mu felt that the silence made things less fun.

After defeating another wave of monsters, while searching for monsters to replenish his mana, Lin Mu spoke leisurely.

What is love in this world...?

After speaking, he stopped again.

Gu An, walking ahead, was listening intently, her ear tilted to the side. Everyone knew that angry women walked quickly, never dawdling, and were very opinionated, so Gu An walked alongside Cai Ling in front.

Lin Mu watched her back and deliberately waited a while. When he saw her slow down and her fists clench, he quickly spoke.

"What is love in this world—" He paused, deliberately dragging out the word, and even stuttered a little, "It makes people... um... even willing to die for each other."

After hearing this, Gu An was completely unaware of Lin Mu's teasing. She muttered to herself, "I will be with you through life and death..." She slowed her pace, savoring these words, and her expression gradually softened.

She turned around, wanting to ask Lin Mu about the whole thing, but when she saw his annoying smiling face, she got angry again, snorted, and turned back.

But Lin Mu didn't care whether you hummed or not, he shamelessly smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to hook his arm around Gu An's shoulder.

Gu An stiffened, struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so he stopped moving and unconsciously slowed his pace.

Lin Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you want to hear the whole thing? If you do, just say so."

Gu An felt a ticklish sensation in her ears from Lin Mu's breath, which was quite pleasant. Her neck, ears, and cheeks flushed red again. She lowered her head and whispered, "Go on."

Lin Mu instantly became proud. His flirting skills were truly self-taught, his talent was astonishingly high, as tall as a 100-story building. However, at this moment he dared not provoke Gu An any further, so he cleared his throat and leisurely recited it.

"What is love in this world, that it makes one vow to die for it? Like a pair of birds flying south and north, their old wings have weathered countless seasons. Joy in meeting, sorrow in parting, and among them, foolish lovers. You should have words to say: Across ten thousand miles of layered clouds, a thousand mountains covered in evening snow, to whom does this lone shadow turn? Along the Fen River road, the lonely flutes and drums of yesteryear, the desolate smoke still hangs over the plains. What lament can summon back the soul? The mountain spirit weeps silently in the wind and rain. Even Heaven is jealous, unwilling to believe that orioles and swallows alike turn to dust. For a thousand autumns and ten thousand ages, it remains, waiting for poets to come, singing wildly and drinking deeply, to visit the place where the wild geese fell."

Gu An became more and more engrossed in listening, and before he knew it, he had leaned his body into Lin Mu's arms.

Chapter 64 Encountering the Woma Guardians Again

Lin Mu thought to himself, "Teacher Yuan Haowen is really awesome."

Cai Ling walked at the front and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Where is the young lady? Weren't they just walking side by side? She wondered to herself, and then turned around to look.

I glanced at it once and quickly turned back.

Her heart was pounding. They'd just fought several waves of monsters, her big black club practically leaving afterimages as she swung it; she was clearly still angry, her attack speed even a fraction faster than usual. How did they end up embracing each other in the blink of an eye? And if she wasn't mistaken, why was her young mistress exchanging flirtatious glances with Young Master Lin?

Can anyone tell her what's wrong?

Cailing walked ahead alone, the torchlight casting a long shadow of her. She suddenly felt a loneliness she had never experienced before.

After walking a short distance, a Woma warrior carrying a chain hammer appeared at the corner ahead, swaying as he walked towards them. Lin Mu patted Gu An on the shoulder: "There's a monster."

Gu An didn't move. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Lin Mu's waist and snuggled closer into his embrace, his voice muffled: "If you apply some poison, Cai Ling will be able to fight."

Gu An had completely forgotten the name he had given Cai Ling when they left. However, the pronunciation was similar, so Lin Mu didn't recognize it.

Lin Mu swiped it.

[MP: 102/102 → 72/102]

The Woma warrior glowed red and charged forward with a roar. Cai Ling raised her hand and cast a lightning spell. A flash of white light and a loud "thud" made the Woma warrior tremble.

Just then, a stone spike suddenly shot out from the darkness, heading straight for Cai Ling. Lin Mu, startled, thought, "This thing is lurking in the shadows, launching sneak attacks—it's impossible to defend against!" He was about to warn them when Gu An calmly said, "It's alright."

Cai Ling reacted very quickly. With a wave of her hand, a pale yellow membrane spread out from her body, like an eggshell, rising from her feet and enveloping her entirely.

That's a mage's skill, "Magic Shield".

The stone spike struck the shell membrane as if it had pierced a highly resilient, high-pressure balloon, causing its speed to decrease sharply and it to be firmly stuck to the slightly deformed shell membrane.

Cai Ling took a step to the side, and the pale yellow magic shield moved with her. The stone spikes slid along the arc of the magic shield and shot into the wall behind Cai Ling.

Lin Mu was stunned. This magic shield could be used like this? This was much more powerful than in the game. In the game, the magic shield only reduced a lot of damage, but Cai Ling's magic shield blocked the damage directly.

At that moment, during the pause in Cai Ling's continuous skill casting, the Woma warrior had already rushed up to her. Lin Muxin asked again, "Are you really alright?"

"Don't worry," Gu An said in his usual unhurried tone.

But for some reason, the monster paused for a moment when it reached Cai Ling and didn't attack immediately.

Lin Mu suspected it was a network card malfunction, but no one paid much attention.

Cai Ling immediately ran back two steps to create distance, took out a bottle of magic potion, took a swig, and then raised his hand to cast another lightning spell.

The dark warriors occasionally shot stone spikes from the darkness, but Cai Ling was prepared, either dodging to the side or using her magic shield to block them, and was never truly hit.

However, the magic shield's light seemed to have dimmed, and its resilience seemed to have weakened. It appeared that after being attacked several times, it was nearing the point of breaking.

Lin Mu had initially felt that the powerful magic shield didn't seem to last as long as it did in the game.

As Lin Mu was watching, he suddenly heard a voice. He knew that voice all too well; it was exactly the same as in the game. It was the roar of the Woma Guardian, coming from the darkness ahead.

Gu An heard it too. This time, she didn't linger too long in Lin Mu's embrace. She took out the Staff of Judgment from her Qiankun bag and strode forward.

Gu An rushed out, bypassed Cai Ling, and finished off the Woma warrior with a few blows.

Lin Mu couldn't help but admire him. Among the three legendary classes, the warrior was definitely the most powerful in terms of burst damage. And this was before Gu An had even mastered the Heaven-Opening Slash and the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique.

Then Gu An continued forward, the light of his torch shining out, and a tall figure emerged from the darkness ahead, his body covered in black and white patterns, holding a large sword in his left hand and a serrated longsword in his right, crossed in front of him.

It also illuminated a dark warrior hiding in a corner, trying to escape into the darkness, as well as a Woma Warrior and two Flame Woma.

And they all noticed Gu An running towards them. Except for the Dark Warrior, they all turned around and walked towards Gu An step by step.

Lin Mu glanced at it and said, "Clear the smaller monsters first."

After all, the mobs have high attack power. If you don't clear them, they will come and harass you, making it difficult for them to fight the Woma Guards and resulting in less efficiency. So you should clear the mobs first.

Before he finished speaking, Gu An had already charged towards the Dark Warrior with the Judgment in hand.

But the Woma Guards didn't care about any of that. They thought, "You think you can just attack the younger ones like that? Did I agree to that?" They brandished their swords and blades, aiming straight at Gu An. Gu An savagely charged out and dodged the Woma Guards' attack.

Lin Mu quickly cast a green poison spell on the Woma Guardian and then drank a magic potion.
