"System, I'm using this now, there shouldn't be any problems, right...?"
Looking at the cloud of black mist, Jiang Mu asked cautiously.
"This item has been trained by this system... no, adjusted, and is now unable to cause any harm to the host."
This time, the system didn't play the riddle-maker; it gave Jiang Mu the answer with perfect precision.
"That's good……"
As he spoke, Jiang Mu opened the system interface.
"Confirmed for use".
"You have used item 'Unknown Black Mist' x1, which will be used to unlock the... "
The next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Jiang Mu.
Oser, a creature with a deep blue body and five heads, was staring at the guy in front of it. Then, as if it had regained its memory, it opened its mouth wide, and pure water elements gathered in its mouth to form a water bullet. Then, it shot towards Jiang Mu's head.
Immediately afterwards...
A splash of water hit his face...
………………
After wiping his wet cheek clean, Jiang Mu stared expressionlessly at the miniature Osel in front of him.
"You are so small, can you eat?"
"!!!!!"
Upon hearing this, Ausel immediately ran in the opposite direction from Jiang Mu, and the next moment, he was directly grabbed by Jiang Mu.
"The Demon God of the Whirlpool, is that right..."
Jiang Mu looked at Ausel, who was trembling in his hands, and a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"I wonder if you still remember... there are some scores between us that need to be settled properly..."
Upon hearing this, Oser's body seemed to bristle, and many water spikes instantly sprang out, but they retracted the moment they touched Jiang Mu's hand...
There was nothing he could do; he didn't know if, if he did something else to displease this man, the man might just strangle him to death...
"Hmm... judging from your appearance, it seems you can't do anything..."
After staring at the Oser in his hand for a while, Jiang Mu murmured to himself.
"Yeah, yeah, so just let me go. I need to go find my wife and settle down..."
Now, revenge and conquering Liyue are no longer on Oser's mind. Preserving her own life is the most important thing now...
"You want me to let you go?"
Looking at the "little snake," Jiang Mu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ausel nodded hurriedly, a gesture that almost made Jiang Mu laugh...
"Alright, I'll take you to meet a friend first, and then I'll let you go, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Osel nodded hurriedly.
………………
Not long after...
Looking at Ausel in front of him, Zhongli fell into deep thought...
"Young friend Jiang Mu, what is the meaning of this?"
"Um... Mr. Zhongli, could you please deal with this guy temporarily?"
A bewildered Oser looked at Zhongli in front of him and frowned slightly.
For some reason, seeing the man in front of him gave him a chill that crept up his spine...
It's like... this person in front of me might do something bad to me...
"How could that be? This guy isn't Morax. I've only ever felt that kind of sensation with that guy..."
Thinking this, Oser decided that if that man tried to do anything to him, he wouldn't be polite and would bite him to death!
"Young friend Jiang Mu, this fellow is..."
Despite already having a guess in mind, Zhongli hesitated before asking.
"This is the Vortex Demon God, Oser, you should know him."
Jiang Mu explained.
"Ausel?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded, but the next moment, what he said almost made Osael go berserk.
"Why is your stool so loose?"
"hiss!!!----"
Enraged, Oser straightened up, gathering water elemental power in his mouth, preparing to bring the man before him to his senses...
"seal up."
Seeing Ausel's actions, Zhongli simply raised his middle finger, and as golden light flowed across it, it transformed into a mysterious light seal, which enveloped Ausel's mouth...
"!!!!!"
Osel: Σ(っ°Д °)っ
He was naturally very familiar with this kind of energy...
Because he had been suppressed by the owner of this energy for a thousand years...
"It's you, Morax!!!!"
He unleashed bursts of fury, but with his mouth gagged, Oser couldn't utter a word. He just stood there, twisting and turning like a golden snake dancing wildly, venting his anger.
"Hmm, this little guy is quite interesting. Okay, I'll take him."
As he spoke, Zhongli gently reached out his hand, wanting to take Ausel from Jiang Mu's hand, but the latter retreated repeatedly, letting out fearful howls, wrapping his entire body around Jiang Mu's hand, seemingly unwilling to let go...
No way! That guy on the other side is my old nemesis. If I were really handed over to him, wouldn't he play me to death?
"it's useless……"
Jiang Mu shrugged, and just as he said, Zhong Li simply waved his hand lightly. Immediately afterward, Ausel was drawn by an invisible force and came into Zhong Li's hand...
"Hmm, looks like I can walk other things from now on..."
Looking at the trembling Oser in his hands, Zhong Li smiled slowly, looked at Jiang Mu, and nodded.
"Thank you very much, young friend Jiang Mu. I am very satisfied with this gift."
With that, Zhongli cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Jiang Mu, then slowly turned and left...
"Hmm...it seems that entrusting Ausel to Zhongli was indeed the right thing to do..."
Just kidding, that's a demon god. Even with the system's help, he can't completely guarantee that this guy will be on his side...
and……
Just for the harm he caused Dong Han, Jiang Mu couldn't let this guy get away with it...
Zhongli naturally understood Jiang Mu's meaning and did a very good job...
Nodding and inwardly approving of his own cleverness, Jiang Mu turned around and, instead of rushing home, strolled around the streets...
I don't really have many opportunities to stroll around the streets by myself like this...
Recalling his past shopping trips, Jiang Mu was surprised to find that it seemed he had never lacked girls around him...
"Could it be true, as Yan Qiao said, that I have a lot of luck with women?"
Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Jiang Mu continued walking forward.
As Da Laoshi once said, one of the three great illusions in life is "TA likes me".
(As for the other two illusions, we'll leave that to you handsome readers to find out!)
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these things, Jiang Mu continued walking down the street.
He believed that one day, things would fall into place naturally...
As he was wandering the streets, a small figure suddenly blocked his way.
Looking down, Jiang Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
