This is a test

Yu Mu glanced at Ye Chen indifferently and said coldly, "Do you know what that fruit is? Do you know how precious it is?"

Ye Chen could guess that the fruit must be extremely precious, but he did not know its purpose.

"That fruit is called the Holy Wood Fruit. Consuming one can allow one to undergo a complete transformation. If you eat one, your body will definitely undergo a tremendous change. Moreover, the Holy Wood Fruit is a specialty of my Holy Wood Clan and is extremely precious."

Yu Mu said coldly.

Ye Chen did not speak, looking into Yu Mu's eyes without the slightest retreat.

"I wonder what Senior Yu Mu means by saying these things?"

"I know that Jiamu likes you, but you must know that you humans and we monsters are impossible together, and besides, Jiamu is my daughter."

There was not a trace of emotion in Yu Mu's eyes, and she was like a completely different person from the kind and amiable Yu Mu from before.

Yu Mu took out a Holy Wood Fruit and some precious treasures, placed them on the table, and crossed her arms over her chest, causing her proud bosom to tremble slightly.

"I am not a bad person either. Here is a Holy Wood Fruit and some precious resources. Take these things and leave this place. From now on, do not have any more contact with Jiamu!"

Yu Mu looked at Ye Chen with cold eyes.

Ye Chen looked at the things on the table and sneered in his heart. He stood up and pushed the things on the table back: "Senior Yu Mu, Jiamu and I have nothing going on. As a mother, I fully understand you looking out for your daughter, but your daughter is not a commodity and cannot be measured by money and treasures. Furthermore, I, Ye Chen, am not someone who is blinded by greed. I will agree to leave this place and will not meet with Jiamu in the future! You can keep these things!"

After saying this, Ye Chen stood up, prepared to leave.

Clap, clap, clap!

Yu Mu suddenly began to applaud.

Ye Chen turned around and looked at Yu Mu curiously. At this moment, Yu Mu had returned to that kind and amiable smiling face.

"Not bad, truly not bad. My daughter's taste is indeed as good as mine. Ye Chen, you are very good. You have passed my test."

Yu Mu crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Ye Chen with a smile on her face.

"Sit down. I was just testing you earlier. I didn't want my daughter to associate with someone blinded by greed. You are a very good person; I am relieved for my daughter to be friends with you. Sit down."

Ye Chen understood immediately, and he could also understand Yu Mu's actions.

Ye Chen then sat back down.

"I hope Your Excellency Ye Chen will not blame me. As parents, we naturally hope that our children live well."

"Mm, I understand."

Yu Mu lifted her chin and said, pointing to the things on the table: "Accept them; consider it my apology."

"These things are too precious; I cannot accept them!" Ye Chen said quickly.

He knew the value of these things; besides, who knew if this was another test of hers.

A green light flashed in Yu Mu's eyes as she smiled: "Do you know the function of this thing? Even Ice Soul is tempted by this Holy Wood Fruit. This Holy Wood Fruit takes my Holy Wood Clan a very, very long time to refine one. After eating it, I guarantee your Physique will undergo a heaven-turning and earth-shattering change, and your strength will more than double."

Hearing this, to say he wasn't tempted would be a lie!

Moreover, besides the Holy Wood Fruit, those Materials also looked absolutely extraordinary; they were rare treasures.

"Accept them!"

Ye Chen nodded, and only then did he accept the things.

"Let's go! Let's go down. If we stay too long, Jiamu will start overthinking." Yu Mu stood up, walking with a light, dancing gait as she headed downstairs.

Just this silhouette alone could make countless people indulge in wild fantasies.

Ye Chen did not look at Yu Mu's back, walking downstairs with his head lowered.

Yu Mu walked in front and said: "Ye Chen, for that pet of yours named Gun Gun, you should try to prepare some things that provide immunity to control for it."

"I know, it's just that I haven't found anything related to that yet."

"There is a Secret Realm in the First Region that contains five things: Heavenly Silk, Earthworm, winter sun, Summer Ice, and Yin Yang Water. If you refine these five things into a Medicinal Pill and consume it, you will be able to resist all control. However, these five things are extremely rare, so you should focus on improving your own strength first before talking about going there."

After Yu Mu finished speaking, she had already arrived in the courtyard.

Ye Chen was shocked, then overjoyed. He had been searching for these things all along; he hadn't expected that this Yu Mu would actually know about them.

Indeed, Gun Gun was not afraid of anything, but was most afraid of control. Once controlled, it would be useless!

"It seems I need to make a trip to the First Region when I have time."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

The First Region was the capital of this country, the place with the most powerhouses and where the highest level of the Law Enforcement Alliance was located. Experts were as numerous as clouds!

Even powerhouses like Supreme needed to keep a low profile there.

The First Region gathered Geniuses and powerhouses from all regions, as well as various miraculous figures!

Arriving in front of the others, he sat back down.

"Brother Ye Chen, what did Mother say to you when she called you over?" Jiamu whispered, leaning against Ye Chen.

"Nothing much, she just told me some things."

Jiamu gave an "Oh" and nodded.

"It is getting late. There are places to rest in the tree hole, so you can stay here for now. You can look for items to upgrade in this vicinity in the future. When you want to go back, just go back directly."

After Yu Mu finished speaking, she stretched, took Jiamu, and walked towards the backyard.

Hongye and Xuannv, the three of them, looked at each other.

Hongye sighed with emotion: "This trip has truly been full of ups and downs. I didn't expect us to come here and even become guests of a powerhouse. Junior Brother Ye Chen, following you is truly exciting, hahaha!"

Hongye laughed out loud.

"Ye Chen's luck is always so good." Xuannv teased with a smile.

Ye Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Alright, let's rest early. For the coming days, let's live here for now."

After speaking, Ye Chen went into the tree hole, found a level, and settled in casually.

Xuannv chose to live below Ye Chen, and Hongye lived below Xuannv.

The level in the tree hole where Ye Chen was staying, although simple, had everything that was needed.

Ye Chen sat on the ground and took out the Holy Wood Fruit.

The Holy Wood Fruit lay in Ye Chen's hand, emitting a green and gold intermingled light.

Ye Chen picked up the Holy Wood Fruit and put it directly into his mouth.

Without any chewing, the Holy Wood Fruit slid directly down Ye Chen's throat.

Ye Chen immediately felt a warm current and clearly sensed the energy of the Holy Wood Fruit releasing within his body.

Suddenly, a feeling like needle pricks arose.

That feeling was extremely painful, just like thin needles pricking into his body, pricking his heart, stomach, and blood vessels.

Cold sweat instantly poured down from Ye Chen's forehead.

That painful feeling was still spreading, and in a short while, it had already spread throughout Ye Chen's entire body.

Every part of his body felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.

The intense pain made Ye Chen unable to help but collapse to the ground, his whole body twitching.
