The tiger watched Xu Mu approach, huffing and puffing as it backed away, not daring to launch an attack at all.
As for the tigress nearby, she also stood up, staring at Xu Mu with full alertness.
Xu Mu didn't even glance at them, picking up the bald-headed boy from the ground.
Seeing that he was only injured on the arm and not in life-threatening danger, he turned to leave.
He had only taken two steps when Ye Yu from above urgently shouted, "Brother-in-law! Behind you!"
Xu Mu immediately turned around to find a tiger already pouncing.
He gracefully sidestepped to dodge, releasing a surge of fierce aura.
The tiger was so startled it shuddered, immediately lying on its back and exposing its belly.
"You still want to bite me?"
Xu Mu grabbed the tiger's face and gave it a slap.
By now, the onlookers were utterly stunned.
"Holy crap! What's the deal with this guy? A modern-day Wu Song fighting a tiger?"
"Is that tiger maybe his pet? Otherwise, this is just too unbelievable!"
"Probably, but still, that was way too cool!"
...
Xu Mu had now reached the edge. He noticed that among the crowd watching from above, favorability points had started appearing above their heads.
Although the points were only one or two, there were quite a few people.
Xu Mu tucked the boy under his arm, leaped up, and began jumping forward by stepping on rocks.
Finally, he grabbed the railing and vaulted over it.
Thunderous applause immediately erupted from all around.
"My son! My son!"
The middle-aged woman from earlier rushed over upon seeing him, frantically taking the boy into her arms.
However, the boy was so frightened he had lost his voice, only able to shed tears.
The middle-aged woman directly knelt before Xu Mu. "Thank you! Thank you!"
"Do you understand now how dangerous what you did earlier was?"
Xu Mu asked calmly.
"I do! I do!"
The middle-aged woman nodded hurriedly.
Teaching someone with words is useless; teaching them with a real incident, just once is enough.
"Brother-in-law! You're amazing, so cool!"
Ye Yu linked her arm with Xu Mu's, shaking it excitedly.
[Favorability +20]
Especially seeing the surrounding people's admiration for Xu Mu, Ye Yu herself felt a sense of pride.
Not long after the two left, zoo staff carrying tranquilizer guns came running over quickly.
"Everyone, please make way! These two tigers are newly introduced Siberian tigers, very wild!"
The zoo staff immediately announced.
Hearing this, the onlookers in the distance were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
That guy earlier wasn't a zookeeper?
Then how did he just turn around and scare the tiger into lying on its back? That's way too badass.
...
Meanwhile.
Xu Mu and Ye Yu were waiting in line to see the pandas.
After all, they are national treasures, but in terms of endangered status, Siberian tigers are even rarer than pandas.
After queuing up to see the pandas, Xu Mu took out his phone and snapped a bunch of photos of Ye Yu.
Afterwards, the two left the area.
Ye Yu and Xu Mu sat on a bench, drinking Mixue Bingcheng.
Ye Yu had milk tea.
Xu Mu had lemon water; he didn't like things that were too sweet or rich.
Lemon water was the only thing he could accept.
Ye Yu flipped through the photo album on Xu Mu's phone and couldn't help but mutter, "So ugly! Brother-in-law, you took such bad pictures of me!"
"That's just how you look."
Xu Mu glanced at Ye Yu. "My camera doesn't lie."
"Hmph! Clearly, it's your lack of skill!"
Ye Yu snorted coldly but still picked out a few decent ones and sent them to her own phone.
Unknowingly, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Xu Mu drove Ye Yu home. He had gained quite a bit of justice points from Ye Yu today.
Ye Yu, holding the mascot she bought at the zoo, had a smile on her face the whole time.
Thinking about it, this was the first time she had gone out alone with Xu Mu, and it was indeed really fun.
...
Back at the villa.
Xu Mu lay on the sofa resting, while Ye Yu sat beside him still going through the photos.
Soon after, Xu Mu received a message from Zhao Yingying on his phone.
She said she was done with school for the day and was about to ride her electric scooter home.
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then gave Zhao Yingying a call.
Within seconds, Zhao Yingying answered, "Mu Ge! What's up?"
"I wanted to ask, what kind of persona do I need?"
Xu Mu said into the phone. "An ordinary person's identity, or a rich second-generation heir? Should I pick you up in the Lamborghini or the Escalade?"
"Mu Ge, let's keep it ordinary, okay? I'm afraid people might gossip behind my back."
Zhao Yingying came from an ordinary family and had been doing part-time jobs since high school.
If her classmates found out she had a boyfriend like this,
probably over ninety percent would think she was being kept.
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll pick you up in the Escalade. We'll keep it low-key."
Xu Mu nodded.
His V8 Escalade cost over two million, while the Lamborghini was over ten million fully loaded.
"Mu Ge, can we... be even more low-key?"
Zhao Yingying said from the other end.
"Then I only have a Porsche 911 left."
Xu Mu thought for a moment and said.
"Maybe don't drive at all. I'll come pick you up on my little e-scooter."
Zhao Yingying said over the phone.
"I have one of those too."
Xu Mu remembered the Aima electric scooter parked in the yard. Ye Yu wouldn't need it these next few days anyway.
"Alright then, just ride that over."
Zhao Yingying said on the other end.
After hanging up, Xu Mu first plugged in the electric scooter to charge.
Upon learning Xu Mu was going out, Ye Yu went for a walk at Feng Yue's house.
After waiting nearly another hour, Zhao Yingying sent Xu Mu a message.
Xu Mu rode the electric scooter to the urban village where Zhao Yingying lived.
Arriving there, Xu Mu knocked on the door.
Zhao Yingying immediately ran to open it. Today she was wearing a beige dress, and her usually loose hair was tied into a ponytail, looking graceful and poised.
It must be said that Zhao Yingying's appearance was that of the girl-next-door type, very pure and innocent.
Today's outfit further highlighted that clean, pure quality.
[Favorability +10]
"Mu Ge, they just sent the address. Let's head over now."
Zhao Yingying said with a smile.
"Okay."
Xu Mu nodded. "Where is it?"
"They said they want to go to a five-star hotel in our city, called Frost & Snow."
Zhao Yingying said.
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless. How was this supposed to be low-key?
He rode the scooter with Zhao Yingying on the back, heading towards the hotel location.
...
It was over half an hour later when they arrived at the hotel.
As soon as they appeared, a few people quickly walked over from a distance.
"Yingying!"
The first to speak was a man with a perm. He immediately looked at Xu Mu on the scooter. "Are you Zhao Yingying's boyfriend?"
"That's right. I'm Xu Mu."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
The people here all sized up Xu Mu. It had to be said, at least in terms of appearance, the others here felt inferior.
He was 185 cm tall, with a good build, and his face was quite handsome.
But in this world, especially for men, looks rank lower in priority.
"I heard from Yingying that you've already graduated and are working now?"
The man with the perm asked.
Xu Mu glanced at Zhao Yingying, then smiled and said, "That's correct."
"Then why don't you have a car? Riding an electric scooter all the time, do you want Yingying to get tanned..."
"Zhang Cheng!"
Zhao Yingying interrupted the man. "In the city, an electric scooter isn't much slower than a car."
"What about when it rains? Or going on trips?"
As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out his car key. "Check this out. A Xiaomi SU7. My dad bought it for me. We also have an Audi A8 at home."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
