The Whereabouts of Shifu Meng

Xu Mu had always believed that it was nearly impossible to max out the favorability of someone with a certain degree of cunning.

People like that were usually intelligent and placed their own interests first. Even if they gave you their whole heart, they would always keep something in reserve.

Only a little fool like Meng Wanyue would be willing to entrust everything she had to someone.

He had always thought Feng Yue was that kind of person. He never expected that he had been wrong.

Whenever someone’s favorability reached its maximum, an aura would be born according to that person’s personality and feelings toward him.

For example, Ye Tong’s “Share Blessings and Troubles,” or Meng Wanyue’s “Elder Brother as Father.”

He immediately checked the aura Feng Yue had produced.

Name: Feng Yue

Identity: President of the Xu Group, heroine of The Soldier King Returns

Favorability: [Maxed Out]

Destiny Level: 7 (Maximum: Level 10)

Aura: No Questions Asked

Seeing the name of the aura, Xu Mu was somewhat confused, so he immediately checked its detailed description.

Only after reading it did Xu Mu suddenly understand.

Simply put, in Feng Yue’s eyes, there was no such thing as justice or evil.

No matter what it was, as long as Xu Mu asked her to do it, she would do it—even if most people considered it evil.

She did not stand with the common people. She stood only with Xu Mu.

The ability of the aura was simple as well. In her eyes, Xu Mu was justice itself.

Therefore, she would continuously provide Xu Mu with Justice Points.

As long as Feng Yue remained alive, she would provide him with one Justice Point every minute.

There were approximately 1,440 minutes in a day. In other words, even if Feng Yue was not by his side, she could provide him with enough for one ten-pull per day—or nearly three ten-pulls every two days.

That was truly impressive. Even if Xu Mu spent an entire day with one of the heroines and did his best to raise her favorability, he generally could not complete a single ten-pull.

After all, the amount of favorability gained each day would gradually decrease over time.

Take Ye Tong, for example. Most of the Justice Points he obtained from her usually came during their nighttime battles.

At the beginning, Ye Tong could provide him with a steady stream of Justice Points, but as time passed, the amount became smaller and smaller.

Feng Yue, however, was like a perpetual-motion machine, providing them continuously.

Xu Mu checked his current number of Justice Points. After keeping busy for the past few days, he had only managed to save enough for four ten-pulls.

Although Bai Shanh u and the others were all heroines, Xu Mu had matters of his own to attend to. It was impossible for him to stay with them all the time.

But with Feng Yue around, he was guaranteed one ten-pull a day.

With that, his cultivation would begin to advance much more quickly.

“Boss, can I… call you my husband?”

Feng Yue suddenly whispered beside Xu Mu’s ear. When she finished speaking, her pretty face looked enchanting in the moonlight.

“Of course you can.”

Xu Mu gripped Feng Yue’s hand tightly and gave a wicked grin. “Today’s battle is unavoidable.”

Whoosh!

He unleashed the White Emperor Holy Sword, stabbing it into the ground below. With practiced ease, he constructed a small underground chamber.

He handed Feng Yue a teleportation token, then slipped inside first.

By the time Feng Yue used the token to arrive in the underground chamber, Xu Mu had already laid out the bedding.

“Do you do this with other women often?”

Feng Yue looked at the scene before her, a blush appearing on her face.

“Heaven and earth as my witnesses—this is the first time.”

Xu Mu smiled.

“Tch, I don’t believe you.”

Despite saying that, Feng Yue still tied up her hair.

Moonlight filtered through the three-finger-wide opening above, faintly illuminating Feng Yue’s face.

…

Xu Mu carried Feng Yue, who was completely drained, back to her home before returning to his own house.

Through his perception, he discovered that Ying Weiyang had already fallen asleep in her room, while Ye Tong was lying alone in bed, looking at her phone.

When he entered the bedroom, he smiled at Ye Tong. “Wife, were you waiting for me?”

Ye Tong put away her phone. “Did you take care of Feng Yue?”

“You’re really asking for it, Ye Tong! It’s only been a few days, and you’re already getting restless.”

Xu Mu pounced on her immediately.

He suddenly felt that this was becoming somewhat troublesome. He wondered whether he might have a chance next time to deal with all of them at once.

With his current physique, he could easily handle ten of them.

…

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu got up early and prepared breakfast.

Ye Tong and Ying Weiyang also rose with him.

Since Xu Mu had returned today, Ye Tong did not take Ying Weiyang to the company. Instead, she left the girl in Xu Mu’s care.

Xu Mu brought Ying Weiyang to the illusion formation beneath the villa.

During the few days he had taken off, he needed to deal with the heavenly treasures he had obtained.

Now, aside from the male protagonists, he had also offended the organization known as Eternal Life. It was not an organization that ordinary people could deal with, so he had to be careful and raise the strength of the people around him as soon as possible.

He first took out all the pills he had obtained this time and placed them on the grass.

Then he examined and sorted them one by one.

The trash below rank seven was casually placed to the side, including quite a few Qi Sea Pills.

As for the rank-eight and rank-nine pills, Xu Mu planned to refine the top-grade ones again to improve their medicinal effects.

After finishing the sorting, Xu Mu began working.

Ying Weiyang sat on the ground, playing mobile games to pass the time.

Before he knew it, it was already noon.

Xu Mu had re-refined all the pills that increased strength.

There were nearly a hundred of them in total. Clearly, Yue Menglong must have accumulated them over a long period of time.

After taking everything she had, Xu Mu was certain she would never let him off easily.

Xu Mu stretched hard, then left the illusion formation with Ying Weiyang.

After focusing on alchemy and refining pills all morning, he felt somewhat tired and could not be bothered to cook.

Thus, he took Ying Weiyang out to eat. On a street outside the villa complex, he randomly picked a malatang restaurant and went in with her.

After sitting down, Xu Mu noticed that everyone in the restaurant was staring at Ying Weiyang.

It was understandable. Ying Weiyang looked young, yet she had dyed yellow hair. To the people there, her golden eyes looked like colored contact lenses.

With that kind of appearance, most people would assume she was a delinquent teenage girl.

While they were eating, Xu Mu’s phone began to vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Shi Fumeng.

Xu Mu answered immediately. The last time she had called, he had missed it. Afterward, he had sent her several messages, but she had never replied.

“Hello, do you know the owner of this phone?”

The voice on the other end belonged to a young woman.

Xu Mu’s expression darkened. “Yes. Her name is Shi Fumeng. She’s a close friend of mine.”

“That’s wonderful. Your friend is currently at my home, but she’s been seriously injured.”

After saying that, the young woman continued, “It seems like something is wrong with her mind.”

“What?”

Xu Mu’s expression changed drastically. “Where are you? I’ll be right there.”

Only after receiving the address did Xu Mu hang up.

“What happened?”

Ying Weiyang asked from the side.

“A friend of mine has been injured. Eat quickly. We’ll go there as soon as we’re done.”

Xu Mu picked up his chopsticks and began eating faster.

…

Yanzhao Province.

Xu Mu first piloted a helicopter to an uninhabited area.

He then switched to a car and drove toward his destination.

The place was called Yongping City, and the address was located outside the urban district.

When Xu Mu arrived, he frowned slightly. He could sense fluctuations of qi.

This was actually the territory of a reclusive family.
