"Damn it!"
Xu Mu was at it again, interfering with the relationship between him and Su Yaya.
"Brother Xu Mu!"
Su Yaya’s face lit up with surprise when she saw Xu Mu. "What are you doing here?"
"We’re out of groceries at home, so I came to buy some. I’m heading back to cook," Xu Mu said, lifting the bags he was holding.
"What? Brother Xu Mu can cook?"
Su Yaya's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Not only could he play the piano beautifully, but he could also cook for himself.
Could he possibly be more perfect?
Whoever spread rumors about Xu Mu being a good-for-nothing, Su Yaya swore she would never forgive them.
[Affection +30]
Seeing the numbers pop up, Xu Mu was stunned. He hadn’t even planned to raise her affection level.
Why did this feel like a freebie?
He recalled that Su Yaya’s affection level for him used to be in the negatives, but now it had long since turned positive.
Lin Yang also noticed Su Yaya’s expression, and jealousy surged within him.
The ordinary man he once was had long since disappeared.
Ever since he went abroad to become a mercenary, no one had dared to take what he had his eyes on.
Lin Yang’s expression stiffened, but soon a sly smile appeared on his lips.
"Xu Mu! You know those two guys from earlier, don’t you? I bet you brought them here," Lin Yang suddenly accused, pointing at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu heard this and smirked coldly in his heart.
He hadn’t even exposed Lin Yang yet, but now Lin Yang was trying to bite back.
Su Yaya and Wang Ying exchanged glances upon hearing this.
Come to think of it, those two men had indeed fled when they saw Xu Mu earlier.
"I get it now. You deliberately brought them here to cause trouble, then staged a hero-saving-the-damsel act to win Yaya’s favor, didn’t you?" Lin Yang said with a look of sudden realization. "You’re disgusting!"
"Brother Xu Mu…"
Su Yaya clenched the shopping bag in her hand tightly—the one containing the razor she had bought for Xu Mu.
She recalled the rumors about Xu Mu. Could they really be true? Was he trying to pull such a stunt?
Seeing Su Yaya’s expression, Xu Mu shook his head lightly. "Sigh, sometimes exposing the truth makes things awkward for everyone involved."
"Exposing the truth? The truth is, you brought those guys here to play hero and gain Yaya’s affection!" Lin Yang sneered.
"But I saw those two men with you earlier," Xu Mu said, his face devoid of emotion.
"Hahaha! Yaya! Look at him, spouting nonsense now! If I were with them, would I let them attack me?" Lin Yang mocked with laughter.
"Yaya, come with me," Xu Mu said, lifting his bags and heading toward his car.
"Yaya, don’t go. You know what kind of person Xu Mu is, don’t you?" Lin Yang said from the side.
Su Yaya hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to follow Xu Mu.
No matter what was going on, she needed to see the truth for herself.
Since Xu Mu remained so calm, perhaps he really did have evidence.
Wang Ying followed closely behind Su Yaya.
Lin Yang, however, wore a confident smile. As a king among mercenaries, he never fought battles he couldn’t win.
Earlier, he had already sabotaged the surveillance cameras in this open-air parking lot.
Even if Xu Mu managed to prove the three of them were together, there would be no evidence.
Xu Mu was standing next to his Cadillac, opening the car door to place the items he had purchased in the back seat.
He glanced at Lin Yang, who had caught up with him, and said calmly, "Buddy, this is my car."
Lin Yang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Could it be...
"Yaya, please wait a moment."
Xu Mu sat in the driver's seat, reconnecting the dashcam to download a new video.
He wouldn't let anyone catch him off guard. If they looked at the previous download, the timing wouldn't match.
They might think it was intentional.
Once the download was complete, Xu Mu opened the video, dragged the progress bar, and handed the phone to Su Yaya.
Next to her, Wang Ying tilted her head to take a look.
In the video, Lin Yang walked ahead, followed closely by two burly men like henchmen.
They walked right past this car.
Lin Yang felt utterly embarrassed; the camera was broken.
He hadn't expected there to be a dashcam!
Why did this kid happen to appear here?
Damn!
[Fate Power -50]
"Do you know why I didn't expose you earlier?"
Xu Mu looked at Lin Yang with a calm expression, "Because I can tell you like Yaya. Although your approach is wrong, I don't need to ruin it. I just didn't expect... you'd try to turn the tables."
Su Yaya's gentle face turned cold at that moment.
She first glanced at Xu Mu, then at Lin Yang.
What a stark contrast.
One was a gentleman, the other a shameless scoundrel!
Su Yaya couldn't help but want to slap herself; she had doubted Xu Mu for a moment earlier.
[Affection +30]
"Get lost! I don't want to see you again! If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Yaya shouted at Lin Yang.
"Yaya! I... I didn't mean to, I just... like you too much!"
Lin Yang hurriedly explained.
"Xu Mu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be in the dark, falling for his tricks!"
Su Yaya approached Xu Mu and returned the phone to him.
"No problem."
Xu Mu smiled, "Let me get you all in the car."
"Okay."
Su Yaya nodded.
Lin Yang stood there with a dark expression, stunned.
After Xu Mu helped Su Yaya and Wang Ying into the car, he walked back towards where Lin Yang was standing.
He didn't pay Lin Yang any attention and got straight into his car.
However, Lin Yang, who was standing there, called out to him, "Xu Mu, Su Yaya is the woman I've set my sights on. Stay away from her in the future."
"I know you like her, but your approach is wrong," Xu Mu replied calmly.
"Stop pretending! Who do you think you are, as if I don't know?" Lin Yang shouted angrily, then turned and left, "I've given you a warning; if you provoke me, not just you, but the entire Xu family will pay the price!"
Xu Mu watched his departing figure and sighed, "Why does it feel like he's the villain here?"
But, thinking about it, it makes sense.
These protagonists, relying on their fate and luck, have gotten used to being overbearing.
Only they can take advantage, only they can benefit.
Now, suddenly having to suffer a loss, they're bound to be furious.
Xu Mu checked his justice value and found he could draw six times.
As for fate power, it had already reached 94.
Xu Mu decided not to exchange his righteousness points for a lottery draw; instead, he planned to improve the lives of others.
First and foremost, his father.
Having a father who cared for him so much, Xu Mu resolved to treat him well.
As for others, he would think about it later.
...
Ye Tong was sitting on the bed in Ye Yu's room.
The two had spent the entire day together, talking endlessly.
There was only ever one topic: Xu Mu.
"Hey sis, I think it's necessary to mention this—could you keep the noise down at night?"
Ye Yu sat on the sofa nearby, looking at Ye Tong.
Ye Tong's face flushed a deep red.
She knew Ye Yu was just next door, and she tried her best to control herself.
But the feelings were overwhelming; she really couldn't help it.
"Oh right! I almost forgot, I need to make dinner."
Ye Tong suddenly stood up, "Otherwise, Xu Mu will come home from work and have to wait another twenty minutes."
"Sis! Xu Mu should still be tested a bit more. Who knows, maybe he was just being nice to you yesterday because he wanted to sleep with you."
Ye Yu got up as well, "If you ask me, he's definitely not coming back today. Men are all the same—they're like pigs' trotters. Once they get what they want, they stop cherishing it."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
