Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu had certainly not expected something like this. Not only was he representing the lord in the competition but he would also be attending the wedding now. He had never been to a wedding of anyone that had a high status like the son of the Mayor, Wu Teng.

All the weddings Lin Mu had been to were of the commoners and were usually a rather simple affair with little costs. They were also quick and would be complete within a day, unlike the more richer people whose wedding proceedings could last for about a week.

Lin Mu hearing that the entire thing was going to last for ten days made him feel both excited and a little sad at the same time. Excited because he would be getting to see the city and also experience the high class event. Sad because he would not be able to focus fully on cultivating during those days, most likely.

'Hmm, Hei Wen said that all expenses would be borne by the mayor and the lord… then does this mean I can eat as much as I like?' Lin Mu wondered.

Lin Mu had heard stories of how precious ingredients were used in the banquets of the rich and this was no ordinary rich person, but rather the city mayor Wu Xun's own banquet. Not to mention hearing that his son Wu Teng will be marrying the daughter of an elder of a cultivation sect.

There was bound to be even better stuff in the entire event, if not the same.

"You said that all expenses are borne by the mayor and the lord, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

As soon as Lin Mu asked this questioned Hei Wen didn't know why but she got a bad feeling at the bottom of her stomach. It was as if her guts were telling her that misfortune was bound to strike soon or something.

"Well yes, but it depends on the kind of expense too. As long as it's not something unreasonable like a person destroying property or hurting people, it will be fine. Again there can be exceptions, so just use your judgment and don't do anything untoward." Hei Wen warned.

"How about eating food?" Lin Mu further asked, not minding her masked chiding.

"Food? Of course, food is included in that. Any invited guest can eat and drink as much as they want. It would be a dishonor to the mayor if he could not do even this much." Hei Wen answered.

A smile bloomed on Lin Mu's face while the feeling in Hei Wen's guts worsened.

"Alright then, it should be no problem, I'll be ready. Just call me when you are about to head there." Lin Mu replied before walking out of the town center.

Hei Wen rubbed her forehead as a headache sprouted out of nowhere.

'Did I… perhaps taunt the god of misfortune or something? Why do I feel bad?' Hei Wen thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu was on his way to the entrance of the town now. He wanted to hunt more beasts and try to find a beast that had awakened its bloodline. He now knew how much time he had before he could head there.

"Hmm, so once I'm back from that wedding, I'll head to the northern forest to get the Great slumber Bear's bloodline and then prepare for assimilation. Though I'll also have to do something with little shrubby, as I can't leave it on its own the entire time.

The house too… I can't leave it just like that for a year. People are bound to come to check if it is not opened for a year. What should I do for that?" Lin Mu muttered to himself while trying to plan for the future.

"For the House, you can try placing an illusory formation on it. I'm sure you can try asking Jing Wei for it." Xukong suggested.

"Oh yeah, I can try that. Perhaps he'll even have a beast core with an awakened bloodline. If he does, then I won't have to hunt specifically for one." Lin Mu replied.

He then took out the communication jade from the ring and contacted Jing Wei with it. For a minute there was no response, but then he could sense Jing Wei respond. He seemed to be in a hurry and asked Lin Mu what did he contact him for.

Lin Mu quickly told him what he needed and got both a positive and negative answer. In the case of the illusory formation, there wasn't much of a problem, and Jing Wei could give him the things needed for setting it up. As for the beast core with an awakened bloodline, Jing Wei said that they did not have them.

They had sold off most of the raw beast materials that they had gathered to Jingming Shang for the resources that were needed to fix the spatial ring that Lin Mu had giving to Jing Wei and thus could not do much about it. Lin Mu understood this and said that he'll be fine with just the illusory formation.

Jing Wei told him to come to the shop right away and also said that he had a little more news about them.

'Hmm what could the news be?' Lin Mu wondered as he changed his direction to go towards Jing Wei's emporium.

He opened the door of the shop with a loud creak and walked to the back room. There was no one in the shop, and it seemed like the dust had started to settle again. Lin Mu blew out the lamp in the back room and appeared in the courtyard before heading to the mansion at the other head.

While walking there, he looked up at the sky and found it to be the same as before. The environment of the courtyard was also restored to its normal one, and the damage caused by the repair of the spatial ring was also gone.

Lin Mu then saw Duan Ke standing there at the doorway, seemingly waiting for him. Upon getting close, Lin Mu could see that her expression seemed to be a bit troubled.
