Xu Mu placed the meals on the table. He was considering whether to stop Xiao Ran.
After thinking it over, he decided to let it be.
If he stopped her, Ye Chen would surely not let it go. Moreover, Ye Chen might even suspect that he had known about it all along.
It was better to just go with the flow.
With Ye Tong's extremely high favorability towards him, he didn't believe that Ye Chen could take her away.
"Getting hair is understandable, but why do you need blood?"
Xu Mu asked Xiao Ran.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu also turned their gazes towards Xiao Ran, waiting for an answer.
"Our boss has investigated an important piece of information. However, I can't tell you now. Everything will be explained by our boss personally once the investigation is completed."
Xiao Ran didn't disclose the matter because currently, Ye Chen's speculation was just that - a speculation.
Now, he had obtained clear evidence that Ye Tong's birth time didn't match his.
That's why he wanted to conduct a DNA test to see if the three of them were blood - related.
"Ask Ye Chen to call directly."
Xu Mu said to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded. What Xu Mu said made sense. It was normal to be suspected when taking someone's blood for no reason.
She took out her phone, made a call, and then handed the phone to Ye Tong.
Xu Mu went to bring more dishes. Soon, there was a full table of delicious meals.
Ye Tong had already answered the call and was chatting on the living - room sofa for a while.
Then she hung up the phone, came to the dining table, and returned the phone to Xiao Ran.
"What's going on?"
Xu Mu asked deliberately, even though he knew.
"Recently, my younger brother has been investigating our parents' affairs. He found that the three of us might not have the same mother."
Ye Tong looked at Xu Mu and explained.
"What? Not the same mother? That old guy actually had other wives?"
Ye Yu was suddenly shocked.
"Anyway, it's not you. When Mom gave birth to you, I was old enough to remember. I clearly remember Mom's big belly at that time."
Ye Tong sat at the dining table. "It must be that Ye Chen and I are half - siblings with the same father."
She was very open - minded. No matter whose daughter she was, now she was Xu's daughter - in - law.
However, thinking carefully, it seemed quite possible.
She remembered that her father used to often tell her about those powerful hidden families that still maintained traditional customs.
That is, men could marry multiple women.
Maybe her father had such an idea back then.
"Okay, let's have dinner first," Xu Mu said to the many women in front of him. "Just taste my cooking."
Xiao Ran picked up the chopsticks first. "I won't be polite then."
She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, her eyes widened.
[Favorability + 6]
"Delicious! As expected, it lives up to its reputation!"
Xiao Ran kept giving the thumbs - up.
Favorability also appeared above Ye Tong's head.
Feng Yue curiously took a piece and gasped. Usually, she had gone to many high - class restaurants with those rich ladies.
The taste of Xu Mu's cooking was better than most of them.
"It's so delicious. I can't help but want to marry into this family. Even being the mistress would be okay if I could eat this every day."
Feng Yue said with a big smile.
[Favorability + 10]
"Great! Welcome to join us," Ye Tong was extremely excited. Then she looked at Meng Wanyue. "Wanyue, you come too. We'll sleep together from now on. Anyway, the bed is big."
Ye Yu didn't react much. She thought her sister was just joking.
But Feng Yue and Meng Wanyue were completely stunned.
Especially Feng Yue. Her words just now were just a test to see Ye Tong's reaction.
What was going on with her?
It seemed that she was eager for her to come.
Although Meng Wanyue knew Ye Tong was joking, she still looked a bit uncomfortable.
"Stop joking and have dinner," Xu Mu reminded.
Ye Tong secretly glanced at Xu Mu. She wasn't joking. She was very serious.
This grand plan could only be carried out by herself.
A strong ox can easily plow one mu of land.
But what about ten mu? A hundred mu?
Even the strongest ox would be exhausted.
After dinner, Xiao Ran took out four transparent small bags from her body.
She labeled them with Ye Tong's and Ye Yu's names respectively.
The sisters were very cooperative and each took a few strands of their hair.
Xiao Ran took out a small blade from her body and made a small cut on each of their fingers, then collected the blood.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you anymore."
Xiao Ran put the small bags away respectively and bid farewell to everyone.
"Sister Ran, I'll see you off," Meng Wanyue said as she followed.
"I'll see her off," Xu Mu patted Meng Wanyue on the shoulder and followed behind Xiao Ran.
Outside the villa.
Xiao Ran smiled at Xu Mu. "No need to see me off. My car is outside."
"Are you injured again?"
Xu Mu asked with his hands in his pockets.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she grinned. "Sure enough, you're a divine doctor."
"The previous injury wasn't even healed, and now you're injured again. Can't you take better care of yourself?"
Xu Mu frowned and his tone was a bit harsher.
The smile on Xiao Ran's face gradually disappeared.
It seemed that no one had ever said such a thing to her before.
[Favorability + 20]
"Learn to say no. Next time when Ye Chen gives you a dangerous task, just refuse and say you need to recuperate."
"You don't understand. Ye Chen saved my life."
Xiao Ran shook her head.
"Didn't I save you? If I hadn't stepped in last time, how long do you think you could have lived?"
Xu Mu asked rhetorically. He was exaggerating a bit. The previous injury wasn't fatal.
But he had to say it like this so that a loyal woman like Xiao Ran would feel indebted to him.
[Favorability + 10]
Xiao Ran wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.
Thinking carefully, what Xu Mu said made sense.
She had coughed up blood before and was very weak. Maybe it was a precursor to death.
"Come on, let me take a look at your injury."
Xu Mu grabbed Xiao Ran's hand and closed his eyes to feel.
Xiao Ran looked at Xu Mu's face and whispered, "I'm a bit envious of Ye Tong."
"Envious of her for what?"
Xu Mu asked indifferently.
"She has such a good man like you," Xiao Ran said with a smile.
"Stop joking," Xu Mu let go of Xiao Ran's hand, took out his phone, and said, "Let's exchange contact information. I'll send you a traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This time it's just an external injury. You'll be fine after some conditioning."
"Sure enough, you're a divine doctor. This time it's really just an external injury," Xiao Ran took out her phone and exchanged contact information with Xu Mu. "I'm leaving."
She put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker and walked away quickly.
Even she didn't know why she was so afraid of staying by Xu Mu's side.
Was it because the sense of security he exuded would make her become dull?
Xu Mu watched Xiao Ran's departing back and shook his head slightly.
If he could win over Xiao Ran, who was the right - hand of the Dragon King, it would surely be a great thing.
Just as Xu Mu was about to return to the villa, Feng Yue and Ye Yu walked out together.
"Brother - in - law! I want to go to Sister Feng Yue's house to play. I'll be back soon," Ye Yu said to Xu Mu with a smile.
"Okay."
Although Xu Mu agreed verbally, he became even more curious. Did these two scheming bitches have something in common to talk about?
Feng Yue and Ye Yu went to the neighbor's villa together.
As soon as Ye Yu entered, she asked warily, "How did you find out?"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
