Xu Mu could hear the urgency in the other person’s voice.
Normally, as long as the male lead was dealt with, the harem members connected to him would automatically sever their ties.
Xu Mu also had no need to worry about them helping the dead male lead.
If it were a heroine he was not particularly familiar with, he could simply abandon her.
For example, the several women in Wu Tian’s harem, Wei Yinyun of the Profound Heaven Sect, and Yan Baizhi of the Cloud Summit Sect.
But it had to be said that these heroines possessed an important ability: they could provide Justice Points.
So, when it came to heroines he was familiar with, as long as he could earn Justice Points, he should help them whenever possible.
“Where are you now? I’ve just finished dealing with things on my end,” Xu Mu asked into the phone.
“I’m right outside the gate of your villa. You clearly weren’t lying to me—you really aren’t home.”
Dantai Quan had initially thought Xu Mu was deceiving her, that he had only just returned from the Inner World and simply did not want her disturbing him.
“Wait there. I’ll be there in two hours,” Xu Mu said after thinking it over.
“All right. I’ll wait here.”
Dantai Quan hung up.
Xu Mu put away his phone, opened the door, and walked outside.
At a glance, he spotted Jiang Huihui in the distance, feeding the chickens.
“Xu Mu, you’re awake?”
When Jiang Huihui saw him, she threw all the grain in her hand onto the ground and hurried over, practically hopping the entire way.
“I’m fine now.” Xu Mu smiled. “Huihui, I have something else to take care of, so I’ll be leaving first. Remember to practice the cultivation technique properly. If you run into anything you don’t understand, ask Senior to guide you.”
“How are you going back? You’ve been drinking and driving!” Jiang Huihui said. “If I ride an electric scooter through a red light and get caught, I’ll be fined at most twenty yuan. But you could actually go to prison for this.”
Xu Mu scratched his head. He could completely remove the negative effects from his body with the power of destiny, but that would be far too extravagant.
“How about I take a helicopter back? You can’t drive a car after drinking, but I’ll be flying a helicopter.” Xu Mu chuckled. “I’m completely sober now. It’ll be fine.”
“No! That’s illegal!” Jiang Huihui declared righteously. “I’ll have the sanitation department’s helicopter take you back. I’m a captain now, so I have the authority to requisition one.”
“All right, then.”
Xu Mu nodded.
Before leaving, he had originally intended to say goodbye to Jiang Sheng and the others, but Zhou Shui told him they were all asleep.
Before Xu Mu departed, he put his Cadillac Escalade into his storage space and waited in the open area of the farm-stay.
Not long after, a helicopter arrived.
After saying goodbye to the two women, Xu Mu left.
Zhou Shui looked up at the departing helicopter and slapped Jiang Huihui lightly on the back with a laugh.
“What’s gotten into you? You had such a good opportunity, so why weren’t you feeding chickens in the house? Why did you run all the way up the mountain to feed them?”
“Mom! What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Jiang Huihui’s face immediately flushed red, and she ran toward her house.
“You little brat. Do you really think your mother can’t tell? Some things still require you to fight for them yourself.”
Zhou Shui chuckled and continued walking toward the shop.
…
Xu Mu had the helicopter drop him off outside Jiang City.
After getting off, he used his perception to scan the surroundings. Once he confirmed that no one else was nearby, he took out the Escalade and drove home.
When he arrived at the villa complex, he saw a Range Rover parked in front of his house.
Through his perception, Xu Mu was surprised to discover that Dantai Quan had come alone this time—not even her driver was with her.
After arriving, Xu Mu drove the car into his garage.
Dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and holding a jade tobacco pipe, Dantai Quan approached Xu Mu with a smile and a feline stride.
“Judging from that smile, this doesn’t seem to be anything urgent,” Xu Mu said as he opened the villa’s front door and led Dantai Quan into the living room.
“It is urgent. I don’t know why, but the moment I saw you, I suddenly felt at ease.”
Dantai Quan smiled as she followed behind him. She sat casually on the sofa as though she were in her own home.
Xu Mu sat in the single-seat sofa beside her, crossed one leg over the other, and asked, “What did you come to see me about this time?”
“As I said on the phone, I want to establish a deeper partnership with you.”
Dantai Quan regarded Xu Mu with a serious expression.
Xu Mu asked, “What do you mean by ‘deeper’?”
“I mean that you and I would become inseparable—that what belongs to you would belong to me, and what belongs to me would belong to you.”
Dantai Quan took a deep breath. “We’ll pool all our resources and prioritize helping you improve, so that you can reach the World-Breaking Realm. Once you enter that realm, you’ll need to help me reclaim the Jiao clan.”
“Your master mentioned this before, but I refused. Even if you really take the position of Jiao King, can you sit securely on that throne given the nature of your people?”
Xu Mu rested both hands behind his head as he spoke.
“Probably not in the short term,” Dantai Quan answered honestly.
“Exactly. You can’t expect me to guard your people forever, can you?”
Xu Mu held out a hand. “I’m already at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, and I have enough heavenly treasures on hand. It won’t be long before I reach the later stage. You want to help me break through to the peak and enter the World-Breaking Realm, then have me guard your people forever? That’s not a fair deal.”
Dantai Quan stared at Xu Mu. Her vertical pupils gradually became round.
“If I become the Jiao King, I’ll definitely help you whenever you need me in the future.”
“If I use my overwhelming strength to help you become king, that only proves your people are weaker than I am. What could you possibly do to help me?”
Xu Mu shook his head. “I recently found another powerful alchemy furnace, which has taken the quality of my pills to an even higher level. I’ll still help you according to our previous arrangement. That counts as helping your people in another way.”
“That isn’t enough! I just received word that several of our people were captured in the Divine Battlefield. They revealed the location of our hideout. Right now, everything is being held together by the formation. Once it’s broken, everything we’ve spent years building will be destroyed!”
Dantai Quan stood and came before Xu Mu.
“I’m begging you. Other than you, I can’t think of anyone else willing to help me.”
Xu Mu shook his head. Before he could say anything, Dantai Quan dropped to her knees in front of him.
“Kneeling won’t help. I offended the Four Great Races this time and nearly died. I don’t want to take such a risk for nothing.”
Xu Mu felt that Meng Wanyue’s halo was simply too effective.
Although he could not directly see through people’s hearts, he could tell whether they were sincere toward him.
Dantai Quan’s filial piety rating was only level four, which was about the same as an ordinary parent-child relationship. Only a small portion of it was genuine familial affection; most of it was based on mutual benefit.
It was like saying: I raised you because you have a pension and an inheritance.
That level was not enough for Xu Mu.
Even if it had been level five, he would not have minded. Level five was already the equivalent of an ordinary parent-child relationship, with a greater proportion of genuine affection—You raised me, so I’ll support you in your old age.
“Xu Mu, as long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll become your woman. I mean what I say.”
Dantai Quan raised her head, her eyes slightly reddened.
“I admit that you’re beautiful, and your background is impressive. You’re exactly the type I like, but I’m not lacking women like you.”
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. After all that, she still had not gained even a single point of affection.
“Don’t be fooled by how I look. Up to now, I’ve never been touched by a man.”
“Of course I know. You’re not one of Hat Bro’s people.”
Xu Mu answered without hesitation.
“Who’s Hat Bro? I think I understand now.”
Dantai Quan was startled at first, but then she immediately reached out to take Xu Mu’s divine weapon.
It was the only thing she could do now. There was no other way.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
