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?
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
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)
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."
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?!
