But Xu Mu didn't answer the call. Instead, he hung it up first and sent a message to Feng Yue, telling her that he would call back later.
"Honey, you try it first."
"Okay."
Ye Tong found it amazing. She had never had such a feeling before.
It was like a tool she had never operated before. As soon as she got it in her hand, she could use it skillfully.
Ye Tong circulated the qi in her body.
Buzz!
Instantly, a strong gust of wind rose in the villa.
Around Ye Tong's body, there appeared a semi - transparent black bell about one and a half meters in diameter and three meters in height.
Xu Mu looked up at the high place. Fortunately, his family lived in a villa with a higher roof.
If it were an ordinary high - rise residential building, a height of three meters might even shatter the roof.
After releasing it, Ye Tong began to gasp violently. Obviously, the qi in her body was almost exhausted.
After all, it was an Earth - level skill, and Ye Tong's current realm was only just Dark Strength.
Just then, the black bell gradually disappeared, blending into the villa's living room like a chameleon.
Ye Tong inside also disappeared.
Xu Mu could still notice something strange when checking up close.
But if it were in the mountains, especially when it was dim, it would be very difficult to find.
Xu Mu knocked on it a few times with his fist. It felt like steel.
He punched it.
Buzz!
The Shadow Bell emitted a long - lasting sound.
Xu Mu first used the strength of the early stage of Dark Strength.
Bang!
This time, the bell sound was even louder, but it blocked Xu Mu's attack.
Then, Xu Mu increased his strength to the middle stage of Dark Strength.
Just like before, it also blocked this blow.
Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, it was already very good to be able to defend against someone of a higher realm.
Xu Mu then used the strength of the late stage of Dark Strength.
Crack!
Cracks appeared in front of him first.
Xu Mu released his strength again, and the Shadow Bell completely shattered, revealing Ye Tong hidden inside.
"Not bad. This skill is very good."
Xu Mu showed a smile.
A woman like Ye Tong would never be able to kill someone unless something major happened and she turned evil.
At the early stage of Dark Strength, she probably wouldn't be a match for someone at the middle stage of Dark Strength.
But she could use this skill to hide and defend.
She didn't need to fight. She just needed to hide here, send a message to Xu Mu, and wait for rescue.
"Honey, I'm going to give you another skill."
Xu Mu grabbed Ye Tong's hand again. After the first attempt, he was now very familiar with it.
He passed on the Wind Shield skill to Ye Tong.
"The previous skill can only be used while staying in one place. This skill can be used while running."
Xu Mu pulled Ye Tong to the villa's yard. "Okay, try to use this skill now."
Ye Tong nodded. She took a deep breath, and a gentle breeze immediately appeared around her body.
Xu Mu punched Ye Tong in the stomach.
But when his fist was still twenty centimeters away from Ye Tong, her body flew backwards.
She kept retreating. It seemed that she was about to hit the wall behind her.
But just like before, when there was still twenty centimeters of distance, her body bounced back.
She wasn't hurt at all from beginning to end.
"Husband, this skill is fun. It feels like there are thick cushions around my body."
Ye Tong looked at Xu Mu in surprise.
"That's right. This skill is like that. It's equivalent to having something for buffering around your body. In the future, if someone attacks you, remember to use it in advance."
Xu Mu reminded her with a smile.
"I know."
Ye Tong nodded heavily. "Husband, you've passed on such powerful skills to me. Do you still have any left?"
"Don't worry. I have even better ones on me."
Xu Mu patted Ye Tong on the shoulder. "It's okay. You can go to work now."
Ye Tong lowered her head slightly. She originally thought that Xu Mu wasn't satisfied.
Unexpectedly, he was just worried about her safety and passed on such powerful skills to her.
Ye Tong came in front of Xu Mu, stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the lips, and then hurriedly ran towards the garage.
Xu Mu watched Ye Tong's fleeing back and couldn't help laughing.
He went back into the villa, sat on the sofa, and called Feng Yue.
After Feng Yue answered the call there, her voice was a little trembling. "Boss, help me!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Xu Mu looked nervous.
"This security guard, that middle - aged man with a broken arm, I can't stand it anymore."
Feng Yue roughly told Xu Mu what had happened yesterday.
Hearing this, Xu Mu wasn't surprised.
In the plot, the description of this man was like this. He was violent and didn't know how many people he had killed.
Having his arm broken was already considered an act of great kindness.
"Wait for me. I'll come to you now."
Xu Mu could hear the fear in Feng Yue's tone.
He decided to go and comfort her. Especially with such a ruthless person right under her nose, it would be strange if she wasn't scared.
...
Xu Mu arrived at Muyue Group at just nine o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he came to the company's gate, he saw Zhang Que sitting outside the security room, smoking a cigarette.
Xu Mu walked over with a smile. "Senior, you really keep your word. I heard that you protected Feng Yue yesterday."
He needed to flatter Zhang Que. In this way, relying on his psychology as a senior, he probably wouldn't cause trouble for Feng Yue.
"Hehe, I told you yesterday that I don't take money for nothing."
Zhang Que smiled and took a puff of his cigarette.
"Senior, a person like you must lack nothing. I didn't have anything to buy on the way here. This is for you."
Xu Mu took out two packs of Tianye Slim cigarettes from the bag. "My dad often smokes this brand."
"Xu Shou?"
Zhang Que took the bag, and a little bit of goodwill floated above his head.
"Senior has heard of my father?"
Xu Mu was a little surprised.
"In Jiangshi, Xu Shou is also a successful entrepreneur. It would be abnormal if I hadn't heard of him, right?"
Zhang Que wasn't polite either and put the bag on the ground beside him.
"You're right."
Xu Mu smiled. "Then I'll go inside first."
Zhang Que nodded. After Xu Mu walked far away, he looked back and pondered as he watched Xu Mu's back.
Xu Mu walked on the road near the building. He found that there was blood on the roadside and the grass beside it.
Two workers were washing it with water.
"Uncle! Why is there blood here?"
Xu Mu frowned and asked. Feng Yue was really careless. Shouldn't this kind of thing have been dealt with last night?
"The boss said he would treat us to beef today. He specially bought a live one and asked the security guards to kill it here on the spot."
One of the middle - aged men said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Mu nodded slightly. Feng Yue was quite smart.
When he came to the office.
Xu Mu found that Feng Yue had dark circles under her eyes, looking like she had a light smoky - eye makeup, which had a unique charm.
"Boss! My dear boss!"
When Feng Yue saw Xu Mu come in, she rushed over directly, hugged him, and buried her face in Xu Mu's chest.
"Why do you look so haggard?"
Xu Mu grabbed Feng Yue's shoulders and asked.
"I didn't dare to sleep. I was so scared! There were only me and Zhang Que in the whole company. I was afraid he would come over at night and tear my arm off."
Feng Yue said with red - rimmed eyes.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
