Xu Mu glanced to his left, then to his right.
Fierce and domineering.
Yet they were two completely different types.
The most immediate impression was that Li Yun had a voluptuous figure, while Xu Ningbing had perfect proportions.
But at first glance, Xu Ningbing still seemed more formidable.
Ultimately, it all came down to contrast.
Because Xu Ningbing’s slender willow-like waist made her impact even more striking.
Unconsciously, Xu Mu began to fantasize about what it would be like to experience the "fusion technique" from both of them at once.
In such a scenario, he wondered if his nearly 1,000-point physique could withstand it.
"I thought she was from the Yang City branch?"
Xu Ningbing looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"Her daughter was framed. I’ve already gathered evidence, and I plan to ask the old man to arrange a lawyer for her."
Xu Mu paused before adding, "The person who framed her daughter is the same one who slandered our Xu family before."
Hearing this, Xu Ningbing’s delicate brows furrowed. "No need to involve Dad. Just come to my office—I’ll sign off on it for her."
"Thank you, President Xu."
Li Yun’s face was filled with gratitude.
To her, whether it was the chairman or the president, it made no difference.
The president’s office.
Li Yun felt slightly nervous stepping in for the first time.
She had heard plenty about the company’s affairs lately.
Rumors painted Xu Ningbing as an iron-willed female president, decisive and ruthless in her work.
Just the aura alone was extraordinary.
Before long, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Xu Ningbing’s voice was calm.
The office door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and black-framed glasses walked in with a smile.
"President, you asked for me."
"This is Li Yun, a supervisor from our Yang City branch. Her daughter was framed—give her your full cooperation."
Xu Ningbing pointed at Li Yun.
"Understood."
The man nodded.
"Xu Mu, President Xu, thank you both."
Li Yun was overflowing with gratitude.
"Sister Yun, you two can go ahead and get to work."
Xu Mu waved at her with a smile.
"Alright."
Li Yun felt her face flush slightly. Being called "Sister Yun" in front of others made her a little self-conscious.
[Affection +10]
Li Yun and the middle-aged man left together, ready to discuss the details of the situation.
Once they were gone, Xu Mu turned to Xu Ningbing. "Sis, I got my hands on something good again. Want it?"
"What?"
Xu Ningbing immediately stood up from her seat and was at Xu Mu’s side in an instant, gripping his arm.
"You were so cold just a moment ago. The switch-up is unreal."
Xu Mu was speechless. He had almost thought Xu Ningbing was jealous, seeing him so close to another woman with such… generous assets.
"As president, I have to maintain authority in front of outsiders."
Xu Ningbing clung to his arm. "Xu Mu, what is it?"
Feeling the pressure against his arm, Xu Mu cleared his throat. "Nothing much, just a Qi Sea Pill."
As he spoke, he pulled out a pill from his pocket.
"Another Qi Sea Pill?"
Xu Ningbing’s eyes widened, and she immediately snatched it up.
[Affection +15]
She had already learned from Xu Shou just how powerful these pills were.
Among the hidden elite sects, only those with formidable backgrounds or prodigious talent could afford them.
Yet here was Xu Mu, casually handing them out like candy.
"Am I good to you?"
Xu Mu grinned.
"Very."
Xu Ningbing nodded emphatically.
After delivering the pill, Xu Mu made his exit.
He still had to find Meng Wanyue—this time, he planned to bring her along to the ancient ruins.
At that level, finding treasures alone wouldn’t be easy.
It was better to bring a few people to search together.
After a quick call, he learned Meng Wanyue was training in the woods outside the city.
When he arrived, she wiped her sweat and approached. "President Xu, what brings you here?"
"I got my hands on some treasures—brought them for you."
Xu Mu pulled out three Qi Sea Pills. "Take one every three days. See if you can push your limits further."
"President Xu… three Qi Sea Pills? This is…"
Meng Wanyue was stunned. These were seventh-grade pills!
Were they just free now?
"Just take them."
Xu Mu grabbed her hand and placed the pills in her palm.
[Affection +20]
Meng Wanyue’s eyes reddened with emotion. She never imagined meeting a man willing to give her so much.
"President Xu! I swear I’ll get stronger!"
She clenched her fists.
"I believe it. I’ll be counting on you in the future."
Xu Mu patted her back. "Keep at it."
"Yes!"
Her gaze was resolute.
Unlike before, she now had her own convictions and goals.
If Ye Chen tried to assign her a mission that took her away from Xu Mu, she’d refuse outright—even if it meant turning against him.
Meanwhile, Xu Mu was already on his way to Yang City.
While on the highway, he sent a message to Dai Xingluo.
Learning she was at the antique shop as usual, he headed straight there.
Come to think of it, he’d recently had a minor clash with Dai Dongyang from the Dai family.
Might as well get Dai Xingluo’s take on it.
If her answer satisfied him, he wouldn’t just give her a Qi Sea Pill—he’d also hand over the Phoenix Flame Sword.
Inside the antique shop, Li Zizai was dusting porcelain with a feather duster.
Dai Xingluo, dressed in Hanfu with her hair cascading over her shoulders, wore an exquisite hairpin adorned with a begonia flower.
She sat at the table, brewing tea.
Standing at the entrance, Xu Mu couldn’t help but marvel—she looked like a fairy stepped out of an ancient painting.
Yet this very woman was a yandere.
"Xingluo."
Xu Mu walked in with a smile.
Dai Xingluo’s beautiful eyes lifted slightly before lowering again. "I wonder which sister has been keeping my brother so occupied these past few days that he’s neglected me."
"I was hunting for treasures. Came straight here to deliver yours."
Xu Mu took a seat across from her.
"Or perhaps these are just castoffs from another sister, and my brother is merely humoring me?"
Her voice was tinged with melancholy.
Xu Mu placed two Qi Sea Pills in front of her.
Dai Xingluo, mid-pour, froze. Then she lowered her head with a soft laugh. "It seems I’ve misjudged you."
[Affection +10]
Beside them, Li Zizai stared at the two pills, lamenting that he wasn’t a woman.
He knew Dai Xingluo was generous, but something this valuable? No way she’d share.
"Damn right you did!"
Xu Mu crossed his arms, feigning indifference.
"Brother, let me pour you some tea."
Dai Xingluo smiled, handing him a cup.
"That’s more like it."
Xu Mu accepted it, then asked, "I had a run-in with someone recently—Dai Dongyang."
Dai Xingluo’s eyes narrowed. "Did you kill him?"
