Jiang Huihui stood there with her hands in her pockets, then finally stretched them out.
She swiftly waved at the figure before her.
Bang!
The dart hurtling toward Jiang Huihui never reached her; it was knocked aside by the unleashed energy she emitted.
Not only that, the middle-aged man’s body trembled violently and was suddenly sent flying backward.
Crash!
He slammed into the car behind him, denting the door deeply, blood trickling from his mouth.
“Gang Qi!”
The man’s expression changed instantly, and he immediately fled toward the highway below.
Who exactly is this Xu Mu?
He even has bodyguards at the Gang Qi level.
“Earlier you said the strong make the rules. I think I’m stronger than you, so you might as well surrender quietly.”
The ground beneath Jiang Huihui suddenly collapsed, and her figure instantly closed in on the middle-aged man.
She raised her hand and pressed down fiercely.
The man felt as if a massive weight of thousands of pounds was crushing him, making it impossible to stay on his feet.
With a loud thud, he fell face down on the ground.
Meanwhile, Xu Mu leaned against his car, smiling as he watched Jiang Huihui from afar.
No doubt, this woman fights with boldness and flair. Just like him, she likes to keep her hands in her pockets.
She doesn’t have that kind of beauty, but instead, she’s downright cool.
Jiang Huihui pulled out her ID, “I’m arresting you in the name of a janitor!”
“A janitor?”
The middle-aged man heard this and glanced toward Xu Mu in the distance, then gave a bitter smile.
“So that’s it. You’re really clever, kid!”
“Xu Mu, thank you.”
Jiang Huihui smiled at him. “You all can leave now.”
“No need for a statement?” Xu Mu asked.
“No, just send me the footage from your car’s dashcam.”
Jiang Huihui said.
“All right then, we’ll be off.”
Xu Mu threw the tracker stuck under his car onto the roadside and looked at Meng Wanyue beside him.
“Wanyue, let’s go home.”
Meng Wanyue nodded.
...
Xu Mu arrived home around 9:30 p.m.
He had already messaged Ye Tong earlier, telling her to get some rest.
But when he got home, he found Ye Tong and Ye Yu sitting on the couch watching TV.
Seeing Xu Mu return, Ye Tong immediately stood up and smiled, “You’re back?”
“Yeah.”
Xu Mu nodded.
“Brother-in-law, I thought you wouldn’t come home today.”
Ye Yu giggled.
“Why would you think that? When have I ever not come home recently?”
Xu Mu sat on the couch and asked.
“You promised me that on weekends when I’m off school, I could sleep with my sister. Today’s Friday.”
Ye Yu hugged Ye Tong.
“I was afraid you’d think that since you can’t sleep with my sister tonight, you’d go find another woman.”
“When have I ever said you could sleep with your sister?”
Xu Mu asked in confusion.
“Hmph! Don’t play dumb with me. Anyway, I’m sleeping with my sister tonight. If you’ve got the guts, try sleeping between us.”
Ye Yu pouted slightly.
“All right.”
Ye Tong ruffled Ye Yu’s hair and then walked over to Xu Mu.
“Have you eaten dinner?”
“Not yet.”
Xu Mu smiled. “I’ve been too busy today.”
“I’ll make something for you. What do you want to eat?”
Ye Tong headed toward the kitchen.
“Serve it to me now; I’m in the mood for something soupy today.”
Xu Mu said to Ye Tong.
“Alright, just a moment.”
Ye Tong put on her apron and walked into the kitchen.
At that moment, Xu Mu was leaning against the sofa when Ye Yu immediately came over and asked, “Brother-in-law, I reluctantly agree with you—today I’ll rest in my room.”
“Why? Even if you and your sister are together, you can have her go to your room,” Xu Mu asked with a smile.
“Because… your bed is nicer,” Ye Yu replied, a faint blush coloring her adorable face.
Before long, Ye Tong came out carrying a bowl of noodles.
“Eat it while it’s hot.”
“Thanks.”
Xu Mu nodded, not quite sure why, but he felt Ye Tong’s cooking skills had improved recently.
After the meal, Ye Tong took the bowls away and went back to the kitchen to wash up.
A moment later, Ye Tong returned and sat down on the sofa.
Xu Mu then took out four Qi Gathering Pills from his pocket and handed them to Ye Tong and Ye Yu.
“Take these, two each. They’ll help boost your strength.”
He explained to them.
Previously, he had them take one each, mainly to open up their spiritual meridians.
Now that a few days had passed, it was time to continue their progress.
Neither Ye Tong nor Ye Yu refused; they both swallowed the pills.
They had genuinely felt the benefits over the past few days.
For example, Ye Tong used to feel dizzy and lightheaded after long hours in the lab, her body lagging behind her movements.
But ever since becoming a martial artist, all those symptoms had vanished.
Ye Yu was the same. She used to dread running during PE class.
It felt like she was carrying a heavy burden because of her thunderous breathing.
But today, she held back her strength, afraid of breaking her record.
Both of them felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, rushing along their spiritual meridians.
“Brother-in-law! It doesn’t hurt this time!” Ye Yu gritted her teeth, bracing for pain.
To her surprise, it was just a warm sensation—almost pleasant.
“That’s natural. The first time is to clear the path; it has to hurt,” Xu Mu chuckled. “Any breakthrough signs?”
“No,” Ye Yu shook her head.
Xu Mu looked at Ye Tong next.
She was the same—no breakthrough yet.
“Alright, that’s enough for now. Go rest.”
Xu Mu wasn’t disappointed. After all, that’s how Qi Gathering Pills worked—they could only boost her to the peak of the Bright Energy stage.
But that level was already satisfying for Xu Mu.
With their Bright Energy cultivation, they could avoid over ninety percent of troubles.
Xu Mu and Ye Tong naturally returned to their own room, but Ye Yu immediately caught up and ran ahead inside.
Hands on her hips, she looked up at Xu Mu and said, “Brother-in-law! You have to keep your word!”
Xu Mu glanced at Ye Tong. “Do you want to sleep with Ye Yu?”
“I want to… or maybe not?”
Ye Tong’s cheeks flushed red.
It wasn’t really about wanting or not.
She was afraid of Xu Mu’s ‘piano duet.’
If today she and Ye Yu slept separately, and tomorrow he played a duet, she might as well stay with Xu Mu.
Sharing evenly was something she could accept; otherwise, she really couldn’t handle it.
Seeing Ye Tong’s expression, Xu Mu couldn’t help but want to laugh.
He patted Ye Tong on the back. "I’m going to sleep over there."
With that, Xu Mu headed towards Ye Yu’s room.
Ye Yu immediately followed him and locked the door from the inside. "Sis! Where’s your courage? You’re spoiling your brother-in-law way too much! This won’t do!"
Ye Tong rolled her eyes at Ye Yu, silently thinking, Why don’t you try it then?
Go ahead and experience this soul-touching duet for yourself.
"Sis, looks like I need to give you a lesson. A guy like your brother-in-law has to listen to us… no, listen to you, or he’ll pick up bad habits," Ye Yu said leisurely, grabbing Ye Tong’s hand.
At that moment, Xu Mu slipped under the covers, taking in the atmosphere around him.
Deliciously familiar.
Similar to Ye Tong’s, yet distinctly different.
He used his senses to check what the two of them were up to.
To his surprise, Ye Yu was lying in his spot, resting her head on his pillow.
That little brat, she used to complain about how stinky I was.
…
Chen Cai sat quietly on the sofa in the suite, waiting patiently.
It had already been two hours, and there was still no sign of movement. The tracker on her phone remained where it was.
"Boss Chen! Something’s happened!"
A middle-aged man with a small mustache burst in.

Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives.

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...

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.
