Yang Energy Pill Do I Need This

Xu Ningbing glanced up at Ye Chen standing on the high ground, then resumed releasing hidden energy toward the large tree before her.

Bang!

The tree shook violently, countless leaves swirling around Xu Ningbing.

“People aren’t trees. People fight back,” Ye Chen said calmly, looking in Xu Ningbing’s direction.

In his eyes, a beautiful woman must be bold—the defining traits of a woman should stand out.

If a woman’s innate qualities are dull and mediocre, how is she any different from a man?

“Dragon King, that seems to be Xu Ningbing. I saw her when I investigated the Xu family before,” Xiao Ran whispered behind Ye Chen.

“Xu Mu’s sister?” Ye Chen was momentarily surprised, then a smile appeared on his lips.

This woman is worth getting to know.

Without another word, he headed down toward the road below.

“Fighting a person and fighting an object are two completely different concepts,” Ye Chen said with an even expression. “It’s like hitting a punching bag—you could go at it for an hour without getting tired. But step into the ring with a real opponent, and you’ll be gasping for breath after just a few minutes.”

Xu Ningbing stopped and turned to look at Ye Chen.

“Come! Attack me, and I’ll give you some pointers,” Ye Chen extended his hand toward her.

Xu Ningbing’s face remained icy cold. Without a word, she brushed past Ye Chen and jogged away toward the road above.

Ye Chen was a little surprised. Watching her retreating figure, a smile curved at the corner of his mouth. “An interesting woman.”

…

Xu Mu had by now embraced the middle way in life.

Ye Tong hadn’t gone to bed early today. She was still thinking about what Ye Yu had said.

On reflection, Ye Yu’s words made a lot of sense.

They were family—brothers and sisters—but he deliberately acted high and mighty, making his subordinates receive her.

His purpose was clear: to show that his status had changed and that he was now above the others.

And before leaving, he stopped Xu Mu to make sure she asked about the divorce next time they met.

If Ye Chen didn’t have other reasons, Ye Tong wouldn’t forgive him.

“Honey, Ye Chen has changed. He wasn’t like this before,” Ye Tong whispered, leaning against Xu Mu.

“People change, especially as their status and position change,” Xu Mu murmured softly. “Go to sleep. Don’t dwell on it.”

Ye Tong nodded.

…

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu woke up early as usual. After washing up, he saw Ye Tong.

He patted her on the peach-like cheek and left the bedroom with a smile.

Just as he went downstairs and sat on the sofa, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was a call from Xu Shou.

“What’s up?” Xu Mu asked with a smile.

“Two things. First, tomorrow is the seventy-fifth birthday of Nangong Ping, head of the Nangong family. I received an invitation last night. We’ll go together tomorrow,” Xu Shou’s voice came from the other end. “Second, our Yangqi Pill launches today.”

“I’ll come to the company later and we can talk,” Xu Mu said.

Some things are best discussed face to face.

“Alright,” Xu Shou agreed and hung up.

“Good morning, brother-in-law,” Ye Yu called down from upstairs with a smile.

[Favorability +10]

“Morning,” Xu Mu nodded at Ye Yu. “You seem to be in a good mood today.”

“Yesterday, Ye Chen really pissed me off, but I’ve got a clear head about it. From now on, we just stay out of each other’s way.”

Ye Yu smiled as she settled onto the sofa.

At that moment, Ye Tong appeared from upstairs. She had something to say but swallowed it in the end.

As the older sister, she certainly wouldn’t just ignore Ye Chen.

Some things just need to be talked through.

After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways.

Xu Mu drove to the company.

At the elevator in the underground parking lot, he saw Xu Ningbing.

She looked as stunning as ever today.

Xu Mu deliberately pressed the elevator button, waiting for Xu Ningbing to arrive.

“Morning, sis.”

“Morning.”

Xu Ningbing glanced at Xu Mu. “Find some time to spar with me. Training alone is too slow.”

Xu Mu nodded. “But my time is precious, no rewards means no motivation.”

Xu Ningbing gave him a playful elbow. “What do you want? Relive childhood memories again?”

“Exactly.”

Xu Mu nodded. “I just want to keep my innocence alive.”

“Shameless.”

Xu Ningbing pouted, a little embarrassed.

[Affinity +5]

Seeing this, Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Xu Ningbing really was all bark and no bite.

The two of them headed to Xu Shou’s office, where Xu Ningbing pushed the door open without hesitation.

Xu Shou was sitting in the boss’s chair, holding a cigarette, staring out the window.

Hearing them come in, he turned his chair to face them.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Xu Shou smiled at Xu Mu.

“The Nan Gong family’s birthday banquet. I think it’s best we don’t go.”

Xu Mu sat down on the sofa.

“Why not?”

Xu Shou took a drag and blew out a smoke ring. “They specially invited us. If we don’t go, it’s disrespectful.”

“Someone hired an assassin to deal with us at the Nan Gong family’s place. And it’s a top ten hitman on the death list.”

Xu Mu looked at Xu Shou. “It’s Dai Dongyang from the Dai family. The one who paid him is Chai Wang.”

Xu Shou and Xu Ningbing’s expressions darkened.

“Xu Mu, how do you know this?”

Xu Ningbing sat beside Xu Mu, concerned.

“I investigated. It’s definitely true.”

Xu Mu leaned back on the sofa.

“Dad, maybe we shouldn’t go. I think the Nan Gong family’s invitation is a trap.”

Xu Ningbing looked at Xu Shou with a serious expression.

“This time, I have to go. The birthday banquet of a hidden clan like theirs will also host other hidden families. It’s a good chance to network.”

Xu Shou smiled. “Don’t worry. Even if it’s a hitman from the death list, I have ways to come out unscathed.”

“Alright, but we have to be extra careful.”

Xu Mu planned to bring a few more people this time—Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Jiang Huihui.

They were all experts. If a real fight broke out, they’d definitely be on his side.

Suddenly, Xu Mu thought of someone else—Chen Xuan.

He decided to invite this key player too, to counter the other main characters.

…

Recently, Xu Corporation’s weight loss drug had been trending frequently.

The Xu family had launched a new medicine, and after seeing the results this time, it instantly exploded in popularity.

It sold out immediately.

…

At the Chai family.

Chai Wang was sitting on the sofa, staring at his phone.

A well-maintained woman in her forties walked in holding a gift box.

She was Chai Wang’s wife, Wang Wen.

She used to be a second-tier celebrity, but later married Chai Wang.

“Honey, this is Yang Qi Dan from the newly listed Xu Corporation. I paid a high price to get a box from a scalper just for you,” Wang Wen said with a smile as she approached Chai Wang.

“What do you mean by that? The Xu family is our enemy. Why would you buy their products?” Chai Wang’s expression instantly darkened. “Why would I need something like Yang Qi Dan anyway?”

Wang Wen immediately lowered her head, too afraid to say anything.

Even Viagra couldn’t help his broken body; she had no idea what he was pretending for.

“Master! I managed to grab them! I got three whole boxes!”

Just then, the Chai family’s butler rushed in, carrying three gift boxes.

Wang Wen was left confused. Wait, didn’t he say he didn’t need them?
