Ye Tong stopped at the door of Ye Yu's room.
But after a moment, she showed a faint smile. "Then I'll go and cook for you."
However, as she was going downstairs, there was also a sense of inexplicable melancholy in her heart.
What Ye Yu said really made sense. Maybe what he did yesterday was just to sleep with her.
After all, Xu Mu hadn't touched her since they got married.
Since their marriage, Xu Mu had always been unkind to the two sisters.
She couldn't assume that he would always be like this just because he had changed for one day.
Ye Tong took a deep breath and decided not to think about these things anymore.
Anyway, they had already got the marriage certificate, and she had had a marital relationship with Xu Mu.
She owed so much to the Xu family. Unless Xu Mu initiated a divorce, she wouldn't leave.
"Sister! I'll come and help you."
Ye Yu followed her downstairs.
As soon as the two entered the kitchen, they heard the sound of the villa's front door opening.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu were both stunned and looked outside simultaneously.
Within a few breaths, Xu Mu walked in with big and small bags in his hands.
When Ye Tong found that Xu Mu had come back again, for some reason, there was a feeling of joy in her heart.
"Ye Yu, come here!"
Xu Mu called out.
Ye Yu's face instantly turned as pale as a sheet. They had been having their conversation in her room all day.
Did Xu Mu install a bugging device in her room?
Did he know that she had spoken ill of him?
"Brother - in - law, wh...what's up?"
Ye Yu walked towards Xu Mu tremblingly, thinking that she might get slapped.
Ye Tong frowned and also came to Xu Mu's side.
"Hurry up and put these things in the fridge. I'll cook for you today, and we'll have a better meal."
Xu Mu handed the bags in his hands to Ye Yu.
"Ah?"
Ye Yu was completely dumbfounded on the spot.
Ye Tong was also a bit slow to react. Then she reached out her hand. "Let me do it!"
"No need. You take a rest and just wait for the meal."
Xu Mu gave all the bags to Ye Yu.
Then he walked towards the kitchen, picked up the apron hanging beside, and put it on.
With Ye Tong's help, Ye Yu neatly put these things in the fridge.
"Let me cook. You've been at work all day. You must be tired."
Ye Tong came to the kitchen and said.
"What? Do you think my cooking is bad?" Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"No, no, no."
Ye Tong shook her head vigorously, and the hair by her ears scattered slightly.
She tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear, looking extremely charming.
[Favorability + 10]
"I know a thing or two about cooking. It definitely won't taste bad."
Xu Mu started to get busy. "You two go and play with your phones on the sofa."
"Okay."
Ye Tong was already a bit overwhelmed with surprise. Had Xu Mu really changed?
Ye Yu pulled Ye Tong and sat on the sofa.
As the elder sister, Ye Tong noticed that Ye Yu's expression was a bit off, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Ye Yu forced a smile.
But after she sat on the sofa, she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Ye Tong.
"Sister, isn't Xu Mu going to poison us?"
Ye Tong took out her phone, rolled her eyes helplessly after seeing this message.
She pulled Ye Yu and headed to the nearby bathroom.
After closing the door, Ye Tong whispered, "What are you thinking about, you silly girl?"
"Sister, I'm not talking about the kind of poison that can kill people, but the kind of medicine for women, you know?"
Ye Yu whispered. "Xu Mu is so strong. You alone are no match for him. He might be thinking of taking me as well."
"What's going on in your head?"
Ye Tong tapped Ye Yu's forehead and said crossly.
"Really. I heard from my friend before that a pair of sisters like us can give a man a state boost."
Ye Yu's little face was extremely pale. She was afraid that Xu Mu would make a move on her.
"Then go and keep an eye on him."
Ye Tong opened the door again and pulled Ye Yu out.
She didn't know why, but anyway, she believed that Xu Mu definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
Ye Yu took a deep breath and summoned up her courage. "Brother - in - law... Can I help you with the cooking?"
Xu Mu glanced at Ye Yu and nodded slightly. "All right. Come and wash the vegetables for me."
Ye Yu nodded. She must keep a close eye on him. If Xu Mu put anything strange in the food, she would never eat it.
At this time, Xu Mu was chopping the vegetables with a clattering sound.
Not only Ye Yu beside him, but also Ye Tong sitting on the sofa couldn't help but come over.
Whether someone can cook or not can be judged from the sound of chopping vegetables.
Those who can cook may not have good knife skills, but those who can't cook definitely have poor knife skills.
Ye Tong stood outside the kitchen and observed. Xu Mu chopped the vegetables very rhythmically, and the width of the slices was exactly the same.
It was like they were copied and pasted.
Ye Tong was ashamed of herself compared to his speed and accuracy.
She couldn't believe what was going on with Xu Mu.
Was this so - called good - for - nothing actually proficient in cooking?
Such a skilled movement couldn't be achieved in just one or two days.
At this time, Xu Mu felt that his cooking skills were all muscle memory.
He almost instinctively knew how much seasoning to put.
He looked at Ye Yu beside him. "After you've finished washing the things, go and sit over there."
"Brother - in - law, you're so amazing. I want to watch you cook."
Ye Yu didn't leave. She wouldn't give Xu Mu a chance to put medicine in the food.
"All right!"
Xu Mu continued to stir - fry here. His movements were so smooth that Ye Yu and Ye Tong were both stunned. People who didn't know might think it was a master chef performing stunts.
...
As time passed bit by bit.
Xu Mu felt it was almost done and turned off the fire.
"Ye Yu, come and serve the food."
Xu Mu said to Ye Yu who was standing outside in a daze.
"O...okay."
Ye Yu nodded.
The three of them sat at the dining table, looking at the several dishes in front of them. Not to mention the taste, just the appearance of the dishes made them feel like they were in a high - class restaurant.
"Secret - recipe spareribs, beef with green peppers, Mapo tofu, eggplant with minced meat, and garlic - flavored lobster."
Xu Mu pointed to the several dishes on the table respectively. "They're just some home - cooked dishes. Try the taste."
Ye Tong nodded. She definitely wasn't afraid.
Anyway, she was Xu Mu's wife. Even if there was really something in the food, it wouldn't matter if she ate it.
She took a piece of the secret - recipe spareribs and froze on the spot.
"Sister... Is it delicious?" Ye Yu asked beside her.
"It's so delicious! The taste is amazing!"
Ye Tong's innocent eyes were now shining.
"I already said that I know a thing or two about cooking."
Xu Mu nodded with a smile. "Try the other dishes too."
"Okay."
Ye Tong replied and started to try the other dishes.
She praised every single dish. They were much more delicious than the dishes she cooked.
Ye Yu beside her was swallowing her saliva. Something was wrong! Something was wrong!
Why did Xu Mu suddenly treat them so well?
Could it be that he had already put the medicine in the food?
Or did he secretly put it while she and her sister were talking in the bathroom just now?
But she really wanted to eat these dishes in front of her!
"Why don't you eat?"
Xu Mu glanced at Ye Yu and asked.
"Brother - in - law, I..."
Ye Yu picked up her chopsticks. It was a matter of life and death. This time, she decided to prove her point with her own body.
After Xu Mu attacks the two of them later, his own sister will surely see Xu Mu's true ugly face clearly.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
