Ye Tong looked at the two of them, dumbfounded, and found it somewhat amusing. "What are you two imagining?"
"My dear sister, do you even realize what you're saying?" Ye Yu glanced secretly at Xu Mu before turning to Ye Tong.
"We don’t have to take off all our clothes. When you think about beaches or those large public pools, do they separate men and women?" Ye Tong asked Ye Yu.
Hearing this, Ye Yu suddenly realized her thoughts had been less than innocent. After all, they had been talking about bathing, and she had assumed it meant being completely naked.
If that were the case, although she felt a bit embarrassed, she could accept it.
Xu Mu didn’t say much either; after all, the bathhouse was spacious enough to comfortably fit the three of them.
However, Ye Tong and Ye Yu clearly didn’t understand the effects of the “Xisui Pill.”
They probably didn’t know that after taking it, the body would start releasing impurities.
"Alright, I’ll go fill the pool first," Xu Mu said as he headed toward the first-floor bath.
He opened up his personal space and took out another Xisui Pill.
Then he stripped off his clothes.
Before long, Ye Tong and Ye Yu appeared as well.
Ye Tong wore tight black clothing. Usually, she preferred dresses.
Today, Xu Mu was truly appreciating her legs.
To put it simply, her legs were a sight to behold.
Noticing Xu Mu staring at her, Ye Tong felt a bit shy and sat down in the pool.
Shortly after, Ye Yu joined them.
She was dressed in beige, and to Xu Mu’s surprise, she looked even fiercer than Ye Tong.
This young woman really had been well taken care of.
Xu Mu took out a Xisui Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. "You two should take yours quickly."
The two of them took the pills as well.
Within seconds, the effects began to show on all three of them.
First, a warmth spread through their bodies, as if every pore had opened, and then they started sweating profusely.
“So this is the Xisui Pill?” Ye Tong looked at her flushed skin in amazement.
Suddenly, her expression changed. On her pale, rosy skin, a faint black substance began to ooze out.
It looked oily and very dirty.
Ye Yu was experiencing the same thing.
Splash!
Almost at the same time, both of them submerged their bodies in the water, leaving only their heads above the surface.
“Don’t look! It’s filthy!” Ye Tong hurriedly said to Xu Mu.
“The Xisui Pill cleanses the impurities inside the body. We’ve never done this before, so it’s normal to be dirty,” Xu Mu explained, his own body starting to show the black residue as well. He smiled at them, “Want me to scrub your backs? I’m a pro.”
“No, no!” Both of them didn’t want Xu Mu to see them like this.
Xu Mu smiled and headed to the shower to wash off the impurities.
As years of accumulated filth poured out from within, he felt as if the whole world had suddenly become clearer.
This stuff really worked.
...
Ye Tong and Ye Yu kept their heads above the water, waiting until Xu Mu left before hastily washing themselves.
Xu Mu sat on the sofa, waiting. After a while, the two of them came out.
This time, they both wore simple dresses—just something easy to slip on.
“Not bad, I feel like you two look even more beautiful.” Xu Mu sized them up with a smile.
【Affection +10】
【Affection +10】
Before heading out, the two of them did notice that their skin in the mirror seemed to have improved.
“Here, next is this pill—one each.”
Xu Mu took out the Qi Gathering Pill and handed one to each of them.
“Are you sure this one’s clean?” Ye Yu asked in advance. If not, she planned to go to her own bathroom to wash up.
“This one’s definitely clean,” Xu Mu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, the two of them took the pills simultaneously.
The pill dissolved instantly in their mouths, but unlike the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which turned into liquid, the Qi Gathering Pill transformed into gas that was absorbed directly by the body.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu both frowned immediately, feeling pain all over their bodies.
It was like their insides were bloated with gas that couldn’t be released, as if their bodies were about to burst.
Ye Yu collapsed onto the sofa, writhing in pain. “Damn brother-in-law, did you poison me? If you wanted me, just say so!”
“Hold on! Look at your sister!” Xu Mu said calmly. This was just the process of opening their spiritual veins.
Once the veins were connected, Qi could flow freely through their bodies.
Crack!
Suddenly, Ye Yu felt something inside her body break open, and the strange bloating sensation instantly vanished.
Ye Tong, who had been enduring the pain, felt the same relief moments later.
“All right, try clenching your fists hard. Can you feel a force flowing inside your bodies?” Xu Mu asked with a smile.
Both of them tried and indeed felt a power moving within.
“Come on, try lifting me up.”
Xu Mu walked over to Ye Yu.
“Brother-in-law, you’re so heavy—what if I can’t hold you?” Ye Yu pouted.
But Xu Mu had already leaned over behind her.
Ye Yu struggled a bit and easily lifted Xu Mu onto her back.
“Huh?”
Ye Yu was amazed. She could feel that lifting Xu Mu with just her own strength was a bit tough.
But when she exerted herself, the power inside her body seemed to help, making it easy to carry him.
She even jumped lightly, and it felt effortless.
“All right, get used to this power first.”
Xu Mu wasn’t planning to push them further just yet.
You can’t rush things—once their levels stabilized, he’d have them take more Qi Gathering Pills.
After everything was done, they all sat down to eat together.
During the meal, Xu Mu told Ye Tong that he had to go out afterward.
At this point, neither Ye Tong nor Ye Yu paid much attention.
…
As dusk fell,
Xu Mu drove to a park where several GL8 vans were parked.
Leading the group was Wang Biao, who immediately approached Xu Mu’s Cadillac Escalade when he saw him get out.
Just as Xu Mu stepped down, he saw Wang Biao and thirty burly men standing respectfully, each holding a machete, shouting,
“Young Master Xu!”
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, a bit exasperated. “I already told you, we’re not here to fight today. We’re going to boost sales.”
With that, Xu Mu got back into the car. “Old Wang, take them all to Tianxia Foot Massage!”
“Yes, sir!”
Wang Biao glanced around at the crowd. “Put all the knives away.”
Led by Xu Mu, the group arrived at the entrance of Tianxia Foot Spa.
The lighting here was dazzlingly extravagant, and the parking lot outside was almost full.
There were Cadillac CT4s, Cadillac CT5s, Cadillac CT6s, and so on.
Xu Mu led dozens of people as they stepped into Tianxia Foot Spa together.
The security guards and attendants, seeing this group, immediately assumed they were some kind of gang coming to cause trouble. They hurriedly called the manager over.
Before long, a middle-aged man in a suit, with a stout build, quickly approached.
When he saw Xu Mu leading the group, he immediately smiled and greeted him, “Xu… Xu Young Master, what brings you here? Did someone from our place offend you?”
“No, we’re just here for a foot massage.”
Xu Mu said to the man, “Show me the therapists you have.”
“All right.”
The middle-aged man, panting slightly, rushed to the front desk, grabbed a tablet, and quickly returned. “Young Master Xu, they’re all listed here.”
Xu Mu flipped through the profiles swiftly and finally stopped at number thirteen.
“I’ll take number thirteen,” Xu Mu said, handing the tablet back to the man.
The middle-aged man took the tablet with a smile and turned to Wang Biao. “Brothers, take a look as well…”
“No need. We’ll all choose number thirteen. Find us a large private room.”
Xu Mu slipped his hands into his pockets and said coolly.

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
