Xu Mu answered the phone and asked with a smile, "Yingying, what's the matter? Did Fang Chu bother you again?"
"No, it's not that, Mu-ge. Our school is about to go on holiday, and the teacher said there's a gathering tonight."
Zhao Yingying said on the other end, "I couldn't bring myself to refuse, and I wanted to ask if you have time tonight? I'd like you to go with me."
Hearing this, Xu Mu was somewhat puzzled. "Your class reunion? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?"
"I... I'd better tell the truth. Our counselor has been bribed by a classmate. That classmate wants to be my boyfriend, but I've been using the excuse that I already have a boyfriend to refuse him."
Zhao Yingying's voice dropped a little. "For this gathering, they're asking me to bring my boyfriend along so they can see him."
Hearing this, Xu Mu immediately understood.
He remembered looking at Zhao Yingying's phone before; there were indeed a few men who kept messaging her all day.
"Sure, I happen to be free."
Xu Mu said with a laugh, "I'll go with you tonight."
"Thank you, Mu-ge. I'll call you tonight."
Zhao Yingying laughed on the other end.
Xu Mu hung up the phone and placed it on the table.
He remembered that Zhao Yingying attended Jiangshi University. If Ye Yu were to attend that school, Zhao Yingying would be her senior.
As for Zhao Yingying's reason, he didn't mind it.
It was true that many women used this kind of excuse to reject men.
If you told the blunt truth, saying you didn't want a relationship, some men might persist relentlessly.
But saying "I have a boyfriend" made many men give up.
Because two kings cannot meet.
"Aiyo!"
Ye Yu crossed her arms and said in a mocking tone, "Who is it? And it needs an evening accompaniment? Should I give my sister a heads-up?"
"She's sort of your senior, the daughter of an employee at our branch company."
Xu Mu said to Ye Yu with a smile, "She said there's a school gathering and wants me to pretend to be her boyfriend."
"You stinky brother-in-law! One woman wants you to pretend to be her husband, this one wants you to pretend to be her boyfriend, you're really busy!"
Ye Yu pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Let's go. I'm not busy now."
Xu Mu grabbed Ye Yu's hand and went downstairs to leave.
After all, Ye Yu had come out with him today, so he should take her somewhere fun.
Xu Mu remembered seeing news in the morning that two new pandas had arrived at the zoo not far from their company.
So he and Ye Yu headed to the zoo together.
After buying tickets, the two entered the grounds.
Ye Yu, holding onto Xu Mu, excitedly ran all over the place.
Watching the favorability that occasionally appeared above Ye Yu's head, Xu Mu showed a gratified smile. It seemed she was very happy today.
"Brother-in-law! Tigers! They're so big!"
Ye Yu, pulling Xu Mu, stood on a high platform looking down.
Two tigers were lying on rocks by a pool, basking in the sun.
"These are Siberian tigers."
Xu Mu said, looking at the tigers below with a smile.
Bang!
Just then, water suddenly splashed in the pool next to the tigers, startling them.
To be precise, it was because someone had thrown a stone over there.
Xu Mu and Ye Yu frowned simultaneously, looking to the side.
A middle-aged woman was holding a bald little boy, about five or six years old.
The little boy was holding a fist-sized stone and throwing it at the tigers below.
"Rawr rawr! Fight the tiger! Go up the mountain and fight the tiger!"
The bald boy shouted, picked up another stone, and threw it at the tigers below again.
Bang!
This time, his stone hit one of the tigers right on the head.
"I hit it! I hit it!"
The bald boy laughed and shouted.
The middle-aged woman holding him also laughed. "Baby is so amazing!"
"Can you control your child? Can you not do such uncivilized things?"
A young man nearby couldn't stand it anymore and spoke to the middle-aged woman.
"Can you control your mouth? What my child does is none of your business! Did he hit you? Or did he hit your mother?"
The middle-aged woman said with displeasure, "We bought tickets to come in. What we do is our freedom, you pathetic man!"
"Blehhh! Idiot!"
The bald boy made a face at the young man, picked up another stone, and threw it at the tigers.
Seeing this, Ye Yu couldn't take it anymore.
She looked at the round-faced middle-aged woman. "Control your grandson, or he might fall down!"
"You! Brat, how dare you speak like that? This is my son!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman angrily shouted.
"Ah? Your son? It's mainly that you look a bit old. I almost scolded you for lacking dignity due to your age just now. My apologies."
Ye Yu said with a look of regret.
But the sarcastic tone made her meaning clear to anyone.
The young man nearby couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Ahhh! Damn it! Where are this little brat's parents? Get out here! Were you raised on shit?"
The middle-aged woman roared furiously.
"I'm her guardian. She's my sister."
Xu Mu walked over and said to this young woman.
"Control this damn brat, or I'll tear her mouth open!"
The middle-aged woman shouted at Xu Mu.
"Did my sister hit you? Or hit your mother? She already apologized, what more do you want from her?"
Xu Mu put his arm around Ye Yu's shoulders. "My sister has depression. Please keep your voice down."
[Favorability +15]
Ye Yu looked up at Xu Mu and smiled.
Her brother-in-law was quite clever, knowing how to use a woman's own words against her.
"Young lady, a spoiled child will get into trouble. You need to instill good values in him."
An old man also couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
"My child, how I teach him is my business. Baby, ignore the barking dogs, keep throwing!"
The middle-aged woman held the bald boy and actually extended him inside the railing.
"Fight the tiger!"
The bald boy, holding a stone, swung his arm forcefully, causing the middle-aged woman to lose her grip. The child directly fell down.
"Ah! My child! My child!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman was instantly stunned, screaming frantically.
The bald boy also turned pale with fright, wailing loudly.
A Siberian tiger in the distance pounced over, picked up the boy in its mouth, and returned to its previous spot.
Under the powerful bite force of the tiger, the boy's blood splattered all over the ground.
Although deep down, everyone around felt he deserved it.
But it was still a life after all. Some immediately went to call the staff, while others shouted and yelled at the tiger, trying to scare it back into its den.
"Save my son! Please!"
The middle-aged woman cried out.
"Brother-in-law."
Ye Yu gently tugged on Xu Mu's sleeve.
Xu Mu nodded. He leaped over the railing and jumped down below.
The people around gasped in shock.
"Young man, are you crazy!"
"Bro! Get back up here, that's a tiger!"
...
Everyone around shouted.
As for the middle-aged woman, she also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He had just scolded his sister, yet now he was risking his life to save her son.
At that moment, Xu Mu strode towards the tiger, immediately attracting its attention.
It put down the child and pounced fiercely towards Xu Mu.
Xu Mu slowly released Gang Qi from his body. The tiger stopped abruptly before it even reached him.
Animals have strong perception. The tiger didn't know what was happening either.
Why does this person seem full of openings, yet I have this nagging feeling that if I made a move, I'd be taken down instantly?

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

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

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary.
