However, there was one thing that still surprised Xu Mu.
To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered a woman like the one before him. She was a complete stranger, yet her favorability rating was as high as twenty points.
Zhou Xia walked up to the two men, smiling as she looked Xu Mu over.
She had spotted him from a distance. Whether it was his height or his build, just a glance told you he was formidable.
"Are you the one who just moved in?"
Zhou Xia looked at Xu Mu and asked with a smile.
"No, it's my buddy who's going to live here."
Xu Mu pointed at Chen Xuan beside him.
Truly the male lead, always running into these peculiar women.
"Hello, sis. I'm planning to move here soon."
Chen Xuan said to Zhou Xia with a grin.
Zhou Xia looked at Chen Xuan and found him quite clean-cut and handsome too. In her eyes, he wasn't as impressive as Xu Mu, but he should be decent enough.
"I see. My name is Zhou Xia. We can get to know each other better in the future."
After saying this, Zhou Xia turned and walked towards the neighboring house.
As she walked, her hips swayed constantly, causing her rear to jiggle with each step.
Carrying a woven bag, Chen Xuan whispered to Xu Mu, "Brother Mu, that woman isn't simple."
"Oh? You can tell?"
Xu Mu was somewhat surprised.
"My master once said that if a woman's aura surpasses her looks, she's definitely not an ordinary woman."
Chen Xuan explained softly. "That woman just now, her looks are just average, but she gives off a certain charm."
"What do you think she is?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"Probably a... working girl."
Chen Xuan said.
"Damn! Old Chen, you sure know a lot."
Xu Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The guess wasn't far off at all.
Aren't women from the Yin-Yang Sect exactly that type?
The two waited there for a while until a middle-aged woman with permed hair rode over on an electric scooter.
She smiled, parked the scooter in front of the house, and asked, "Are you Mr. Xu?"
"That's me."
Xu Mu took a step forward.
"Hello. I'm the landlady. My son currently works in the city, and he just had a baby. We need to go help out, so the house happens to be empty."
The woman took out the keys and opened the front door. "Come in and take a look. The house has everything; you can move right in."
She was smiling happily. She had quoted a price on a whim, expecting to haggle, but they had agreed directly.
Xu Mu and Chen Xuan walked in together and found the place quite nice. It looked cozy and was clean and tidy.
"Auntie, that woman next door, she's renting too, right?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile after entering the living room.
"You mean that Zhou Xia? She moved in about a month ago. I heard from the neighbors she stays home during the day and goes out at night."
The landlady said in a low voice. "Probably not a respectable woman. You boys be careful."
"Don't worry, we're both family men."
Xu Mu said with a smile, waving his hand.
The landlady left the keys and rode off on her electric scooter.
Xu Mu sat on the sofa and said to Chen Xuan, "Old Chen, that woman across the way is a martial artist."
"What?"
Chen Xuan was suddenly taken aback. "If she's a martial artist, then I must have guessed wrong earlier. She wouldn't do that kind of work."
"Not necessarily. Have you heard of the Yin-Yang Sect?"
Xu Mu decided to give a heads-up. After all, Chen Xuan was young and impulsive.
What if she gave him a little flirtatious hook and he ended up on a pirate ship? That would be the end of him.
"I've heard my master mention it. It's an evil sect, very well hidden, and on the Cleaners' most-wanted list."
Chen Xuan looked at Xu Mu. "Brother Mu, do you think the other party is from the Yin Yang Sect?"
"Just a guess."
Xu Mu smiled at Chen Xuan. "You should get settled first. There are beddings here, you can rest directly."
"Okay."
Carrying his duffel bag, Chen Xuan headed to the bedroom on the side.
Xu Mu, meanwhile, used his perception to observe Zhou Xia on the other side.
Now, his perception had reached a higher level; at such a close distance, he could even hear sounds.
...
Zhou Xia was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone.
Xu Mu observed for a while, finding that she was just scrolling through videos, and then withdrew his focus.
"Brother Mu, the bed's made. I'll be staying here temporarily from now on."
Chen Xuan walked out of the bedroom. "If anything comes up, you can call me."
"Do you need me to get you a car?"
"No need, I don't have a driver's license yet. I'll buy an electric scooter myself when I have time."
Chen Xuan smiled at Xu Mu.
"Alright. Living here, be careful of the woman across the way."
Xu Mu reminded him. "Then I'll head off now."
Chen Xuan nodded. "Let me see you out."
Arriving outside the house, Xu Mu started his car, preparing to leave.
Just then, Zhou Xia walked out from her home next door. She smiled and tapped on Xu Mu's car window.
Xu Mu rolled down the window and asked, "What's up, sis?"
"Where are you heading?" Zhou Xia asked with a smile.
"Oh, I'm going back to the city center."
Xu Mu answered truthfully.
"Could you give me a ride then? I also need to go to the city to take care of something."
Zhou Xia smiled at Xu Mu. "Just drop me off at the subway station is fine."
"Sure, get in."
Xu Mu didn't know her intention, but if she wanted to make a move on him, he wouldn't mind making her pay the price.
Zhou Xia gave a slight nod, then opened the passenger door. She turned her back to Xu Mu, sitting down with her hips first, trying hard to show off her assets.
But Xu Mu was long desensitized to such things; she was far from being on Feng Yue's level.
"Stop! Sis, you'd better sit in the back."
Xu Mu immediately stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Xia paused, asking with a smile.
"To be honest with you, sis, my wife has a bad temper. She says only she can sit in the passenger seat. If any of your hair were to fall there, she'd definitely give me trouble."
Xu Mu made up a random excuse.
"Hehe, so that's how it is. Then I'll sit in the back."
Zhou Xia revealed a smile and willingly sat in the back seat.
Xu Mu gave Chen Xuan a reassuring look, then drove off.
Zhou Xia now asked with a smile, "Handsome, what's your name?"
"My name is Ye Chen."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"What? You're also called Ye Chen?" Zhou Xia suddenly asked.
"Also? Do you know another Ye Chen, sis?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"Hehe, I do indeed have a friend named Ye Chen."
Zhou Xia said without changing her expression.
Xu Mu checked Zhou Xia's face in the rearview mirror. Judging from her earlier expression, Ye Chen was definitely not her friend.
Could there be some history between her and Ye Chen, or between the Yin Yang Sect and Ye Chen?
"What a coincidence."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Little brother Ye Chen, what do you think of how your big sister looks?"
Zhou Xia's tone suddenly became low and seductive.
"Sis, you have great presence. My friend just mentioned how beautiful you are." Xu Mu replied with a smile.
"Guess what your big sister is going to do?"
Zhou Xia chuckled.
"I couldn't guess."
Xu Mu sneered inwardly. Was she starting already?
"Sister is having her birthday today. I specifically bought a cake, but that shop didn't even provide me with a fork."
Zhou Xia poked her head forward and said, "I'll go get a fork this time."
"I see," Xu Mu nodded.
"Do you have a fork at home? If so, could you send one to my sister's place? Then I won't have to go."
Zhou Xia said with a beaming smile.

Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
