Dai Xingluo followed Xu Mu out of the car. She didn't know why, but she actually wished Meng Wanyue was here too.
If she saw herself sleeping with her brother, the expression on her face would surely be a sight to behold.
But as soon as Dai Xingluo followed him into the hotel, she saw Xu Mu coming down the stairs from the second floor, accompanied by a girl with twin-tails wearing a mask.
Her gaze instantly turned ice-cold. It seemed she needed to do something.
Otherwise, Xu Mu would just keep bringing women home.
This time, Dai Xingluo didn't sit in the passenger seat. Instead, like Bai Yi, she sat in the back.
"What's your name?"
Dai Xingluo looked at the woman indifferently.
"Hello, sister. My name is Bai Yi."
As she spoke, Bai Yi took off her mask.
Seeing such a horrifying scar, Dai Xingluo also slightly furrowed her brows.
"She's a girl I saved on Reckless Mountain."
Xu Mu said from the front, as he was currently driving back.
Regarding Bai Yi, he already had plans in mind. After healing her face, he would first teach her to become an ancient martial artist, and then make further plans.
This woman isn't the female lead for any protagonist, yet she has such a high destiny level.
She must possess immense fortune.
In the future, whether letting her gain experience on her own or having her follow him, both would be viable options.
"Hello, I am my brother's wife."
Dai Xingluo proactively extended her hand.
Considering she's just a kid, she'd give her a chance first, to see how she reacts.
Then, based on her reaction, she'd decide how to deal with her.
"So it's the Madam."
Bai Yi immediately lowered her head, her eyes filled with reverence. "I am the master's servant, and from now on, I am also the Madam's servant."
Dai Xingluo was completely stunned. What was going on?
Were women these days all so easy to talk to?
Ye Tong before was like this, and now this Bai Yi was the same.
She was already calling her 'Madam'; it sounded strangely embarrassing.
"Bai Yi, don't listen to her nonsense. From now on, just call her sister."
Xu Mu said from the front.
"Yes, Master."
Bai Yi nodded gently.
"Xingluo, if you dare bully her, I will definitely teach you a lesson. Bai Yi is very pitiful. I promised her I would let her live a good life."
Xu Mu's voice came from the front.
[Favorability +10]
The favorability prompt appeared above Bai Yi's head again.
Dai Xingluo looked at Bai Yi before her and could see some nervousness and timidity in her.
She said calmly, "Tell me about your past."
Bai Yi nodded slightly. She had already forgotten the distant past, only remembering her life on Reckless Mountain.
So, with her head bowed, she roughly recounted her experiences.
As she spoke, Bai Yi began to shed tears.
Hearing this, Dai Xingluo couldn't help but pat Bai Yi's shoulder. She felt Bai Yi's plight was somewhat similar to her own.
However, Bai Yi had it worse.
Dai Xingluo at least dared to resist, while Bai Yi just endured the beatings and scoldings from those people.
"Brother, what are your plans for Bai Yi from now on?"
Dai Xingluo looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"I haven't thought that through yet, but the first thing to do is to deal with the scar on her face."
Xu Mu said after a moment's hesitation.
"How about letting her stay at my shop?"
Dai Xingluo put her arm around Bai Yi's shoulder.
"Fine, let her stay with you for now."
Xu Mu agreed directly. In fact, he thought this was quite good.
Since Dai Xingluo took the initiative to offer, it proved she definitely wouldn't bully Bai Yi.
Bai Yi's personality was too timid; it was just perfect for Dai Xingluo to teach her a thing or two.
Xu Mu would definitely make Bai Yi an ancient martial artist later.
If her nature was too soft and she didn't dare to fight, it would be a waste of such a high destiny level.
...
Returning to Yang City.
Xu Mu first dropped off Dai Xingluo and Bai Yi at the antique shop.
"Tomorrow I'll bring the medicine to treat your scar."
Xu Mu said to Bai Yi with a smile.
"Thank you, Master."
Bai Yi nodded.
Seeing the two of them enter the shop, Xu Mu continued driving home.
By the time he got home, it was already four in the morning.
Xu Mu stretched hard. Compared to the recent battle, driving felt more exhausting.
He went home and headed towards the bedroom.
The bedroom was pitch dark. Xu Mu casually tossed the coat he was wearing aside, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.
Early the next morning.
Xu Mu was awakened by a scream. Normally, he would have woken up early.
But he had slept at four a.m.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a wide-eyed stare.
Looking at Ye Yu in his arms and Ye Tong on the other side, Xu Mu felt somewhat awkward.
Why did this scene feel so familiar, as if he had experienced it before?
He had forgotten one thing: if he didn't come back to sleep at night, Ye Yu would most likely keep Ye Tong company.
No wonder yesterday he felt the "grenade" size wasn't quite right.
Xu Mu was even a bit surprised. This girl Ye Yu had actually surpassed her older sister.
However, as a doctor, he naturally knew that women generally stop developing around the age of eighteen.
Any increase in size afterwards is not related to development.
For example, changes in weight or pregnancy can affect size, but this is only a physiological adjustment of fat and glands.
"I'll never be able to get married now!"
Ye Yu shouted, her face flushed, and immediately ran outside.
But above her head, a favorability prompt appeared.
[Favorability +15]
Beside her, Ye Tong also showed the same favorability increase.
"When did you get back?"
Ye Tong asked with a smile.
"After four yesterday morning. The place I went to this time was a bit far; most of the time was spent traveling."
Xu Mu explained with a smile.
"Then rest a bit more. It's only seven now."
Ye Tong gently touched Xu Mu's face.
"Okay."
Xu Mu nodded.
...
When Xu Mu opened his eyes again, it was already eleven.
He used his perception to scan and found everyone had gone out.
Ye Tong must have gone to work, and Ye Yu was probably taking her driver's license test.
Xu Mu yawned, got up, and after a quick wash, headed to the kitchen.
He found that Ye Tong had made breakfast.
After eating a couple of bites, he took out the natural treasures. He first steamed them in a pot, then extracted the essence.
Finally, he made a sticky black ointment. He found a transparent plastic container and put the ointment inside.
Then he got ready to drive to Yang City to find Dai Xingluo.
But just as he was leaving, he received a call from Meng Wanyue.
He answered immediately, "Wanyue, what's up?"
"Boss Xu, where are you now?" Meng Wanyue asked from the other end.
"I'm at home."
"I'll be right over."
Meng Wanyue said and hung up.
Not long after, Xu Mu saw Meng Wanyue's Wuling Hongguang van.
He got out of his car voluntarily and walked over. Opening the passenger door, he got in.
"Wanyue, what happened?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"This morning, I received a message from Ye Chen. He wants me to place someone in the company."
Meng Wanyue said to Xu Mu.
Hearing this, Xu Mu stroked his chin in thought.
Placing someone in the company essentially meant a corporate spy.
After all, Meng Wanyue's identity had already been exposed.
"Male or female?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
