Bai Yi had encountered many ancient martial artists and was well aware of the importance of such elixirs.
Even for some ordinary pills, many were willing to risk their lives to fight for them.
And a seventh-grade elixir was already considered high-tier.
If this single pill were given to the people of Lu Mang Mountain, she believed they would be willing to do even the most dangerous things for it.
But now, Xu Mu was giving a seventh-grade elixir to her.
Tears finally streamed from Bai Yi's eyes. She didn't understand why Xu Mu was so good to her.
"Master."
Bai Yi knelt directly on the ground, wiping her tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
At first, she thought Xu Mu's reason for wanting her was simple, to put it bluntly, just like other men.
But until now, Xu Mu had been giving unconditionally, never asking for anything in return.
"Get up!"
Dai Xingluo, who was standing nearby, saw this and stepped forward, grabbing Bai Yi's shoulders. "A woman should never kneel anywhere except in her own bed!"
"What Xingluo said is right, but let me add: on the sofa, in the kitchen, those places are fine too."
Xu Mu said with a smile. "Hurry up and get up."
Dai Xingluo shot Xu Mu a glare before helping Bai Yi to her feet.
"I wasn't lying earlier. I think your talent is indeed good. This counts as an early investment. I'll need your combat strength to help me in the future."
Xu Mu placed the Qi Sea Pill on the table. "Take it."
"Yes!"
Bai Yi wiped her tears with her sleeve, picked up the Qi Sea Pill, and put it in her mouth.
Xu Mu also stood up and bid farewell to the two.
His main purpose this time was to deliver the elixir.
On the way back, Xu Mu sent a message to Tantai Quan, asking her to come and pick up the elixir tomorrow. The pill she needed was ready.
...
Elsewhere.
Zhong Qianqian had already brought Xiao Ran to Ye Chen.
Seeing the bandage on Xiao Ran's leg, Ye Chen's face instantly twisted with rage. "What happened?"
Xiao Ran gave a general account of the events, of course omitting any mention of Xu Mu.
She just said that Fang Chu was not simple. After letting Zhong Qianqian escape, she fought with him.
The battle went back and forth, and finally, he seemed unwilling to prolong the fight and left.
As for Xiao Ran herself, she bandaged her wounds and had Zhong Qianqian drive her back.
"This Fang Chu! Asking for death! Kidnapping my people, killing my men, and seriously injuring you! I will absolutely not let him off!"
Ye Chen's face was dark.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran felt a slight sense of comfort in her heart.
Although Ye Chen's character couldn't be compared to Xu Mu's, he was very protective of his own, at least towards her.
"Fang Chu? Dragon King, have you investigated his information?"
Xiao Ran inquired.
"Exactly. A mere live-in son-in-law, does he really think he can turn the world upside down?"
Ye Chen handed his phone to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran took it and looked, finding it was indeed Fang Chu's information.
A live-in son-in-law of the Jiang City Guo family, closely connected to the Yang City Chai family, a descendant of a destroyed hidden family.
Judging solely from this information, Fang Chu indeed didn't seem like a major figure.
"Dragon King, what do you plan to do then?"
Xiao Ran asked.
"He managed to injure you, which means his strength is not simple. Perhaps there are other forces behind him."
Ye Chen turned to look out the window. "I plan to go to the Dai family first. After I beat them into submission, I'll have them thoroughly investigate this Fang Chu."
Xiao Ran knew that a few days ago, the hidden family, the Dai family, had tried to put Ye Chen in his place but ended up being taught a lesson instead.
Ye Chen had also said himself that he would go to the Dai family to find them.
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, then still said, "Dragon King should still be careful."
"Just a mere hidden family."
Ye Chen's expression was calm. "You go and rest first."
"Yes."
Xiao Ran nodded gently.
...
Xu Mu was already having dinner with the family.
The traitors in the company were now all exposed, and Ye Tong could finally relax a little.
After the meal, Xu Mu gave Ye Tong and Ye Yu six Hongyuan Pills each, also instructing them to take one every three days.
He currently had eighteen left, thinking of giving six each to Ye Tong, Ye Yu, and Xu Ningbing.
That would use them all up.
Compared to Ye Tong, Ye Yu was clearly more eager for these elixirs.
This was normal; Ye Yu and Ye Tong had different personalities.
That night, Xu Mu specifically asked Ye Tong if she had black stockings.
Ye Tong's entire face flushed red, but she actually did have some.
When Ye Tong put them on, paired with her straight, long legs, it was simply exquisite.
Xu Mu couldn't help but marvel. Who on earth invented this thing?
Today, Xu Mu also took a night off, mainly letting Ye Tong do the work.
There was a gap in the window that needed sealing, so Ye Tong applied sealant to the window herself to close it tight.
...
Early the next morning.
Ye Tong and Ye Yu both left early.
Xu Mu slept in alone at home.
Feeling it was about time, he got up and washed up. Scanning the surroundings with his perception, Zhong Qianqian's house was already empty.
And Feng Yue was currently wearing shorts, exercising on the treadmill.
Especially when she ran quickly, the heart shape behind her bounced rapidly, truly a feast for the eyes.
Xu Mu came to the living room and found that Ye Tong had also left breakfast for him.
While he was eating, the doorbell rang. Taking a look with his perception, he saw a Bentley parked in front of the door.
A middle-aged man was ringing the bell.
He used his perception to check inside the car and realized it was the Dai family's Dai Xuan, along with Dai Dongyang.
Xu Mu walked out unhurriedly and asked, looking outside, "Who are you looking for?"
"Xu Mu, it's me!"
The rear window rolled down, revealing Dai Xuan's gaunt face.
"What do you want from me? I haven't finished considering the matter you mentioned."
Xu Mu walked outside the gate, speaking to Dai Xuan.
"Enough nonsense. I don't want to waste time with you here. Hand over my daughter, or I'll call the police."
Dai Xuan said with a calm expression.
"What are you talking about? Isn't your daughter at your home?"
Xu Mu asked with a puzzled look.
"After you left yesterday, she disappeared. I went to her antique shop to look for her yesterday and found she wasn't there. This morning, her shop was closed."
Dai Xuan said coldly. "Where else could she be if not here?"
"Xu Mu! Hand over Dai Xingluo now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Dai Dongyang got out of the car directly, stepping up to Xu Mu and growling.
If it were before, he might have been somewhat wary, but now, with his grandfather having become a grandmaster, he really wasn't afraid of Xu Mu.
At worst, it would be mutual harm.
"I said, she's not here. If you don't believe me, you can call the police and check the surveillance."
Xu Mu shrugged.
"Even if she's not at your place, you definitely know where she went."
Before coming to find Xu Mu, Dai Xuan had already paid to check the surveillance here.
When Xu Mu returned yesterday, he was indeed alone.
But given Xu Mu's relationship with Dai Xingluo, he must know.
"She's not my wife. Why would she tell me where she goes?"
While Xu Mu was speaking, a Land Rover Range Rover slowly approached from a distance and stopped behind the Bentley.
After the door opened, Tantai Quan stepped down, holding her long pipe, smiling.
Dai Dongyang glanced back, and his eyes instantly went wide. This woman... was simply a peerless beauty.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
