However, Xu Mu looked at Ren Sangsang's current distressed state. Leaving her unaided just wasn't his style.
If she remained in that condition, there really was a risk of her mind being damaged.
In the end, he decided to add a new member to his judo club.
Xu Mu looked outside at Xu Ningbing. "If you want to come in, come in. If you want to leave, leave. Don't just stand in the cave entrance."
Xu Ningbing was also conflicted; a part of her still wanted to watch.
What if Xu Mu couldn't control himself while he was... working?
If she was present, she could stop him.
But she didn't know what reason to use.
"Looks like you're not planning to leave. Get in here then. It's a good chance to learn; you might need it yourself someday."
Noticing Xu Ningbing lingering at the entrance, Xu Mu went over and pulled her inside.
"I'll need it my foot! I'd sooner use you than use myself..."
As soon as the words left Xu Ningbing's mouth, she froze.
What nonsense was she saying?
"Don't worry, helping others is my greatest pleasure."
With that, Xu Mu got to work.
Xu Ningbing stood to the side observing, and it was actually different from what she had imagined.
Her eyes first narrowed slightly, then widened into perfect circles, then narrowed again, then widened once more.
This cycle repeated.
Xu Ningbing noticed that Ren Sangsang's expression was also beginning to change.
Her face, originally twisted in pain and discomfort, gradually relaxed under Xu Mu's assistance, her furrowed brows smoothing out.
Suddenly, Xu Mu realized it was over. He immediately pulled Xu Ningbing over, making her crouch in front of Ren Sangsang.
He himself then dashed outside the cave.
Ren Sangsang was now breathing heavily, even drooling a little.
However, her mind had also cleared.
Almost instantly, she realized she had been affected by the Spring Night Herb.
She immediately looked up and saw Xu Ningbing standing there with a bewildered expression.
"You..."
Ren Sangsang's face flushed red. "Was it you who helped me?"
She naturally knew how to counteract the Spring Night Herb. When she first became a Cleaner, she had even attended classes on it.
They were very clear: the optimal choice was to help oneself as early as possible.
Because in the middle to late stages, one's own arms would become disobedient, only capable of the most primal movements.
After being poisoned, with the enemy still alive and well, she couldn't possibly have handled it herself.
"Uh... yes."
Xu Ningbing nodded lightly and quickly stood up.
"Thank you, you helped me a lot. I didn't expect your technique to be so good."
Ren Sangsang, who was already somewhat blunt, made a joke to ease the awkwardness between them.
But it only made the atmosphere more awkward.
"Is it over? Can I come in now?"
Xu Mu's voice came from outside the cave entrance.
"Wait!"
Ren Sangsang immediately called out. She quickly adjusted her clothes, then said, "Okay, you can come in now."
Xu Mu walked in, smiling. "Good thing I brought my sister this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how to save you."
[Favorability +15]
Ren Sangsang was full of gratitude. What Xu Mu said was true; if it weren't for them this time, she might have been done for.
"Oh right!"
Ren Sangsang immediately ran out of the cave. Seeing Cao Jiutian still unconscious over there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked at Xu Mu. "You really are full of surprises."
"Keeping a low profile, just standard procedure."
Xu Mu waved his hand. "If there's nothing else, we'll be on our way."
"Alright. I've already notified the other Cleaners; they should be here soon."
Ren Sangsang nodded.
Watching Xu Mu's retreating figure, a blush once again spread across her face.
This man really isn't bad. Perhaps he really could be a good destination/home.
...
Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing arrived at the highway.
Xu Ningbing immediately opened the trunk, took out a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Xu Mu. "Wash your hands."
"No need, they're dry already."
Xu Mu waved his hand.
"Wash them! Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You want to go home and... nibble on them, don't you?"
Xu Ningbing glared at Xu Mu.
"Ew! You're really disgusting."
Xu Mu shot a look of disdain at Xu Ningbing, then took the mineral water and washed his hands.
On the drive back, Xu Ningbing kept stealing glances at Xu Mu.
Especially when she remembered Xu Mu, clad in gleaming golden armor, standing in front of her as a shield, her heart trembled violently.
[Favorability +10]
She secretly vowed that she wanted to be like Xu Mu.
She didn't like relying on others; instead, she preferred to be the one others could rely on.
Back at the company.
Xu Ningbing returned to her office, while Xu Mu drove home.
After waiting at home for a short while, Ye Yu returned on her electric scooter.
"Brother-in-law!"
Ye Yu called out cheerfully as she entered the living room.
[Favorability +10]
Seeing Ye Yu, Xu Mu smiled and asked, "Practicing driving again today?"
"Of course!"
Ye Yu nodded repeatedly.
Xu Mu didn't refuse and drove Ye Yu to a less crowded road outside the city.
While Ye Yu practiced, Xu Mu checked his Justice Points and found he had enough for two ten-draws.
He started with one ten-draw.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
Xu Mu nodded inwardly. Same as usual.
The wheel spun again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a First-grade Natural Treasure Gift Box]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third-grade Natural Treasure Gift Box]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine-level technique: Void Phantom Sword, First Form]
...
"Holy crap!"
Xu Mu couldn't help but exclaim. A Divine-level technique?
This was the top-tier technique that only appeared in the late stages of the original plot. Divine-level techniques were also known as Heavenly Dao-level techniques.
So powerful they could defy the Heavenly Dao, surpassing all conventional logic.
He shook his head slightly. As expected of a Divine-level technique; it wasn't given all at once. This time, he only got the first form.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
...
The rest were all baseline rewards. However, obtaining one Divine-level technique was more than good enough for Xu Mu.
After the draw, he immediately checked the newly acquired technique.
Void Phantom Sword had three forms in total. The first form was called Mirror-Breaking Sword.
Its sword energy could shatter the opponent's Mirror of Perception.
Reading this description, Xu Mu felt a bit confused. It seemed he needed to find someone to test it on.
But he certainly couldn't test it on his own people. After all, it was a Divine-level technique; what if he seriously injured someone?
Just as Xu Mu was about to start the next ten-draw, he noticed a message from Ye Tong saying she was already home.
She was going to invite Zhong Qianqian.
Xu Mu replied "received" and prepared to head back.
This time, he gained 120 Cultivation Points and 80 Attribute Points. He first allocated all these points.
Feeling the power within his body continuously increasing, Xu Mu smiled and checked his status panel.
Name: Xu Mu
Identity: Villain Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Corporation
Realm: Divine Ability Late Stage
Physique: 1055
Spirit: 1055
Cultivation Value: 130 (Full 800)
Destiny Power: 1142
Xu Mu nodded to himself. He still had one ten-draw unused. He was getting closer and closer to the Grandmaster realm.
Once he reached the Grandmaster realm, he planned to take the initiative.
Returning home.
Xu Mu and Ye Yu arrived in the living room together to find Ye Tong and Zhong Qianqian chatting.
Seeing this woman, Xu Mu felt somewhat amused.
Perhaps knowing that he was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, she had stopped sending messages.
"Honey, you're just in time. It turns out Qianqian's specialty is medical technology. I asked her a lot of professional questions earlier, and she answered them all fluently,"
Ye Tong stood up and linked her arm with Xu Mu's. "She happens to be out of a job right now. How about letting her work at our pharmaceutical company?"
Zhong Qianqian was also feeling excited at this moment. She hadn't expected that, without needing Meng Wanyue, she had managed to infiltrate the pharmaceutical company on her own merit.
How would the Dragon King reward her?
