Xu Mu asked knowingly, "Young Master Feng, what's wrong?"
"The medicine you gave me isn't working anymore! Do you have more?" Feng Jian inquired on the other end of the line.
He had just taken the pill but couldn't resist using his own hands to fulfill his desires.
He noticed that the duration had actually extended compared to before.
Originally, he had planned to find someone that night to test his current condition.
But when night fell, it stopped working again.
Returning to his previous limp state, he was filled with regret—why hadn’t he sought out a partner right after taking the pill?
What a wasted opportunity.
"It’s normal for it not to work. This is a treatment course. I had to take it for a full month before I recovered. Did you really think one pill would fix everything?" Xu Mu said into the phone.
"What? A whole month?"
Feng Jian was stunned. After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any more pills?"
"No, I only had one left, and I gave it to you for free."
"Brother Xu! Save me! Please find that miracle doctor again—I’ll pay whatever it takes!"
Feng Jian hadn’t taken it seriously before, but now that he knew the medicine worked, he was desperate to get more.
"Don’t ask me. Go to your mother. She promised me something in exchange for giving you that pill for free," Xu Mu said coolly. "And she hasn’t fulfilled her end of the deal yet."
With that, Xu Mu hung up.
The rest was up to Feng Jian.
……
That afternoon after work, Xu Mu returned home first.
Not long after, Ye Yu arrived at the villa’s courtyard on her electric scooter.
After parking, she walked toward the villa.
"Brother-in-law! You’re back early today."
As soon as Ye Yu stepped inside, she spotted Xu Mu sitting on the sofa.
"I didn’t have much to do today, so I came back early."
Xu Mu beckoned her over. "Young lady, I’m going to give you an opportunity."
"An… opportunity?"
For some reason, Ye Yu’s eyes instinctively drifted downward toward Xu Mu’s lap.
Xu Mu frowned. He had a feeling this girl had a dirty mind, but he had no proof.
"Never mind. I’ll give this blessing to your sister instead."
He waved his hand dismissively and sprawled back on the sofa.
"I want the opportunity! Give it to me!"
Ye Yu immediately knelt on the sofa beside him, shaking his arm like a child throwing a tantrum.
Her voice dripped with exaggerated sweetness.
"You’re not cut out for it. Your brain’s a little slow—you wouldn’t know what to do with it even if I gave it to you."
Xu Mu crossed his arms.
He decided it would be better to wait until Ye Tong got home so they could both take the Marrow-Cleansing Pills together.
If he gave one to Ye Yu first, and Ye Tong came back to find her sister showering, who knew what wild ideas she might get?
"Who says? Brother-in-law, you’re calling me dumb when you’re the one with questionable intelligence?"
Ye Yu looked at him like he was an idiot.
Xu Mu smirked. "Fine, I’ll ask you a simple question. Which is more expensive—a cow or a chicken?"
"A cow, obviously!"
"Wrong!"
Xu Mu shook his head.
Ye Yu rolled her eyes. "How could it possibly be the chicken? Explain."
"Nine cows make one strand of hair."
"And the chicken?"
"Eight strands."
……
At first, Ye Yu didn’t get it. But after a moment, her face flushed bright red.
"Disgusting!"
She pouted and playfully punched Xu Mu’s shoulder.
"See? You can’t even solve a kid’s riddle. Still think you’re smart?" Xu Mu laughed.
"A kid’s riddle? Yours wouldn’t even pass censorship!"
Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh too.

Just then, the villa’s front door opened, and Ye Tong walked in with a smile, carrying her handbag.
"What’s so funny? I could hear you two from outside."
For some reason, seeing this scene warmed her heart.
"Sis! Brother-in-law’s bullying me!"
Ye Yu immediately jumped off the sofa and ran to Ye Tong.
"Oh? You look pretty happy for someone who’s being bullied."
Ye Tong set her bag on the side table and walked over.
"Both of you, come here. Family meeting!" Xu Mu announced.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu exchanged glances. What was going on?
The last few times Xu Mu had said that, it had always led to… intimate activities with Ye Tong.
What kind of meeting was this supposed to be?
Ye Yu felt both nervous and excited. Was her fantasy about to come true?
"What’s this about?" Ye Tong asked as she approached.
"Have you heard of the Dai Family?" Xu Mu looked at them.
At the mention of the Dai Family, both women recalled what Mu Qingying had mentioned the day before.
"Yes. My father told me about them. The Dai Family is a hidden clan—their public assets rank first in Jiangbei," Ye Tong said, pulling Ye Yu down to sit beside her.
As the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, she had been involved in family affairs for years.
Her father had taught her about hidden clans and ancient martial artists from a young age.
That was also why she wasn’t overly sensitive about Xu Mu seeing other women.
In hidden clans, some ancient traditions remained—men could have multiple wives.
"Do you know about ancient martial artists?" Xu Mu asked Ye Tong.
"Yes, but only hidden clans have people like that," Ye Tong nodded.
Ye Yu looked at her sister in surprise. She had no idea her sister knew so much.
"Wife, I can make you an ancient martial artist," Xu Mu said.
"What?"
Ye Tong’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Don’t worry, I won’t make you fight. You’ll just need to protect yourself."
He then turned to Ye Yu. "Little Yu, I’ll make you one too."
"Me too?"
Ye Yu didn’t fully understand what an ancient martial artist was, but it sounded impressive.
"Exactly. But I’m not doing this for free. Your personality is better suited for it than your sister’s. In the future, if I’m not around, you’ll need to protect her."
[Affection Points +10]
[Affection Points +10]
Both sisters were deeply moved.
Especially Ye Yu. She already knew her sister was too gentle for her own good.
"Alright, take these pills first. They’re Marrow-Cleansing Pills—they’ll purge impurities from your bodies and strengthen your foundations."
Xu Mu handed one to each of them. "After taking them, go wash off the filth immediately."
Ye Tong and Ye Yu nodded.
"Sis! Let’s shower together!" Ye Yu grabbed Ye Tong’s hand.
Ahem!
Xu Mu coughed meaningfully.
Ye Tong’s cheeks flushed as she understood his implication. "You go ahead by yourself."
"Ugh, my heart aches. You’d abandon your sister for a man."
Ye Yu sighed dramatically and headed toward the first-floor bathroom.
"Little Yu, maybe we should all go together," Ye Tong called after her.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Xu Mu and Ye Yu were both dumbfounded.
Especially Xu Mu. What was happening?
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly.

"Would you like to dance as well?"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
