"Young Master Xu, you’re treating me so well just because you want to date me, right? Fine, I agree to be your woman."
Lu Xueyao paused for a moment and said, "To be honest, I was even mentally prepared to go along with Liu Tu before. I was so stupid earlier!"
"How many men have you been with?"
Xu Mu asked.
Lu Xueyao lowered her head, embarrassed, and replied, "I dyed my hair last Saturday, and it was only this morning that I got in touch with Liu Tu. I’ve never had a boyfriend before."
"Then you’re still being foolish now. Your first time is so important, and you’re just going to give it away like that?"
Xu Mu pulled Lu Xueyao’s hand away. "Are you crazy?"
[Favorability +20]
Tears streamed down Lu Xueyao’s face again, and after a long while, she softly said, "Young Master Xu, you’re a good man."
Xu Mu checked his Justice Points and was surprised to find that, with just a few words, Lu Xueyao had contributed 320 points to him.
By this calculation, combined with Ye Tong's contribution tonight, his ten consecutive draws for the day should be secured.
"Give me your phone."
Xu Mu stretched out his hand.
Without hesitation, Lu Xueyao handed her phone to Xu Mu.
She figured that someone as wealthy as him wouldn’t need to scam her out of anything.
Xu Mu also took out his own phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to Lu Xueyao.
This loan arrangement was somewhat humane; if repaid on the same day, no interest would be incurred.
When Lu Xueyao saw the 20,000 yuan arrive in her account, her gratitude toward Xu Mu was beyond words.
[Favorability +10]
Xu Mu glanced at his phone—it was now 8:10 PM, and he still had plenty of time.
"Where do you live? I’ll take you home now."
After settling her debt, Xu Mu handed the phone back to her.
"Young Master Xu, I live in the urban village in Jiangshi’s southern district. I can go home by myself."
Lu Xueyao said softly.
"Don’t call me Young Master Xu anymore. My name is Xu Mu. From now on, just call me Brother."
"Okay, Xu Mu-ge."
Lu Xueyao blushed slightly and lowered her head.
...
Following Lu Xueyao’s directions, Xu Mu arrived at the urban village in the southern district. The streets here were quite rundown, and the residential buildings were dilapidated.
Twenty years ago, there had already been talk of demolishing this area, but even now, no progress had been made.
At a small alleyway, Lu Xueyao pointed out the car window and said, "Xu Mu-ge, my house is in that alley."
"Alright, take this and eat it at home."
Xu Mu handed her some barbecue he had prepared. He planned to buy more later for himself.
"Thank you, Xu Mu-ge."
Lu Xueyao nodded repeatedly and opened the car door to get out.
Xu Mu followed her out and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be waiting outside your school tomorrow at noon."
"Okay."
Lu Xueyao agreed softly.
"Xueyao! What are you doing here?"
At that moment, a young man in a suit approached from a distance.
He had slicked-back hair, a slim build, and looked to be around 26 or 27 years old. His appearance was fairly handsome.
Xu Mu used his "Eye of Providence" to scan him and was immediately taken aback.
Name: Fang Chu
Character: Male Protagonist of *The Strongest Son-in-Law*
Destiny Power: 1700
Destiny Level: 17 (Maximum Level: 10)
Xu Mu was inwardly shocked. He hadn’t expected this son-in-law to possess an even higher Destiny Power than the soldier-king Lin Yang.
Fang Chu pulled Lu Xueyao to his side and looked at Xu Mu warily. "Who are you?"
"Brother Fang, this is my Xu Mu-ge."
Lu Xueyao broke free from Fang Chu's grasp and moved to Xu Mu's side.
"Xueyao, don't go calling some random guy your brother. Who knows what he's really after."
Fang Chu was speaking when he noticed Lu Xueyao's hair. "Did he make you dye it?"
"No, I did it myself," Lu Xueyao said, clenching her small fists. "I told you before, I want to change. I won't let anyone bully me anymore!"
"Don't let this guy fool you. I'll take you home!"
Fang Chu stepped forward to grab Lu Xueyao's arm.
"Let go of me!"
Lu Xueyao broke free again.
She was furious. What did she have that Xu Mu could possibly want to deceive her for?
She had no money, and the most precious thing she had was her own body.
But even when she had hinted at it in the car, Xu Mu didn't agree and instead told her to take care of herself.
How could Xu Mu possibly be deceiving her?
"Buddy, this is our first meeting, and you're accusing me of deceiving her. Isn't that a bit rude?" Xu Mu said, hands in his pockets.
"Hmph! I'm a man too. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Fang Chu snapped. "Get lost right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"What? Are you going to hit me?" Xu Mu shrugged.
"Fang Chu! My affairs are none of your business!" Lu Xueyao glared coldly at Fang Chu. "I was bullied today, and it was Xu Mu who saved me!"
"He saved you to get your body!"
"I'd willingly give it!" Lu Xueyao's tears flowed. "I get bullied at school, and you always tell me to endure, to gather evidence, to call the police."
"Do you know what Xu Mu did? He was willing to help me solve my problems!"
Lu Xueyao pointed at Fang Chu. "You're a married man. I have nothing to do with you, so please stop interfering in my life."
[Fate Power -20]
Fang Chu stood frozen, clenching his fists, his hatred for Xu Mu growing stronger.
He really wanted to tell Lu Xueyao that his three-year period wasn't over yet.
Because of practicing a certain technique, he had suffered from a deviation, leaving him unable to use his powers for three years.
His original plan was to wait until the end of the three years to impress his wife's family and then help Lu Xueyao get back at those who wronged her.
But this guy had to step in halfway.
"Xueyao, he was right earlier. Don't trust anyone. Go home," Xu Mu said with a smile, waving at Lu Xueyao.
"Xu Mu, I'm leaving!" Lu Xueyao waved back at Xu Mu, giving Fang Chu one last glare before she left.
The difference between the two was clear.
She couldn't believe she once considered Fang Chu her confidant.
But she could guess the reason.
Fang Chu was simply feeling unbalanced.
Seeing Xu Mu with such a nice car, he instinctively thought he was a bad guy.
Ultimately, Fang Chu was concerned for her safety.
Lu Xueyao knew that even though Fang Chu was married, he had married into another family.
She heard that family didn't treat Fang Chu well, including his wife.
Compared to Xu Mu, it was natural for him to feel envious and resentful.
Fang Chu watched Lu Xueyao leave and then said coldly, "I don't care who you are, you'd better not trouble Xueyao in the future, or you'll surely regret it."
"Still don't know your identity. What's your relationship with Lu Xueyao?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile, and with the help of the system, information about him had already entered Xu Mu's mind.
"I have no relationship with her. I just know her. She's a very good girl."
Fang Chu said indifferently.
"You're really nosy, meeting me and immediately saying I'm not a good person. You must not be a good person either."
Xu Mu shrugged, "You don't even have the basic respect. Or is it that you're having a tough time, used to being bullied, and when you see someone like me with money, you think they're bad?"
"You..."
Fang Chu pointed at Xu Mu, his breathing gradually becoming rapid.
Xu Mu had indeed hit a sore spot.
"Also, you just said you're a man and understand other men's thoughts, so you have feelings for Lu Xueyao too, right?"
Xu Mu showed a hint of disdainful smile, turning to walk towards the car, "Speaking so righteously, you're just the same."
[Fate Value -10]
Fang Chu clenched his fist, trembling with the effort.
That bastard...
He really hit the mark.
Or rather, he voiced Fang Chu's subconscious thoughts.
He's a man, and he hopes for love.
He once thought that when the three-year period was over, if his wife's family remained stubborn, he would no longer care about them.
Instead, he would bring Lu Xueyao into his harem.
But now this person had appeared, and he absolutely couldn't let Lu Xueyao run off with him.
...
Ye Tong and Ye Yu were still watching TV in the living room.
Ye Yu was eating fruit, watching with great interest.
Ye Tong, however, was absent-minded. She took out her phone and glanced at it; it was already nine-thirty, and Xu Mu still hadn't returned.
She didn't know what was wrong.
Clearly, she used to be happy when Xu Mu didn't come back.
But now, she felt like something was missing.
"Xiao Yu, stop watching, go to sleep. You have school in the morning."
Ye Tong stood up and said, "Let's not wait for him. He's definitely not coming back tonight."
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
