The Pitiful Woman

"What did you say?"

Xu Ningbing asked with her head down.

"Nothing, I just meant graduation is approaching."

Xu Mu got up from the bench, put his arm around Xu Ningbing's shoulders, and asked, "Are we going home, or staying at a hotel for the night?"

"It's a few hours' drive. We'd arrive home past midnight. Let's just sleep here for the night."

Xu Ningbing looked at Xu Mu and said, "Of course, if you want to go back, we can leave right now."

"Forget it, I'll just send Ye Tong a message later."

Xu Mu was already a bit tired today and didn't want to drive back at night.

Sleeping with Xu Ningbing should also earn him some justice points.

After all, Xu Ningbing was a level ten destiny, so her affection points were multiplied by ten.

The two returned to their standard room. Xu Mu took off his shoes and jacket, then made a video call to Ye Tong.

Soon, Ye Tong answered.

"Honey, I'm not coming back tonight. My sister and I are on a business trip."

As Xu Mu spoke, he pointed the phone at Xu Ningbing, who was sitting nearby.

"I'm relieved if you're with my sister."

Ye Tong's voice came through.

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing crossed her arms and said calmly, "Don't worry. If Xu Mu dares to look for other women behind your back, I'll rip his head off."

"Sister, there's no need for that."

Ye Tong paused, then continued, "Hubby, the things you sent over today contained an unknown substance. I was just looking up information, hoping to find out what it is before sending it to you."

"No need, just send me the data. It's nothing important anyway."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Alright then."

Ye Tong nodded on the other end.

After hanging up, Xu Mu received a document on his phone.

Xu Mu briefly checked the data. Besides basic blood and body fat, there were indeed some other substances.

These didn't belong to the human body at all.

"Mitochondrial ketol, keratin enhancer, and wood cellulose..."

Xu Mu possessed Pharmaceutical Mastery, and his brain constantly filtered through things that contained these substances.

After thinking for a full minute, an image surfaced in his mind.

God-level material, White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood.

Among heavenly treasures, there are edible and inedible materials.

The same goes for god-level items.

Godly medicines can be eaten, but there are also god-level materials.

Just like the pill furnace Xu Mu got from Tantai Quan, they all belonged to high-quality materials.

White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood was known as the hardest wood in the world, taking hundreds of years to grow.

Its surface was as smooth as jade, with almost no possibility of breaking. The only way to damage it was through friction.

And that was by rubbing two pieces of White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood against each other.

If only one piece was used, anything that rubbed against the White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood would be destroyed.

Xu Mu set his phone aside and closed his eyes in deep thought.

First of all, White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood was a material and could not be eaten. Such a powerful material could not possibly be digested.

Yet, Tong Guoguo's flesh contained this material.

Xu Mu thought of her tunnel entrance again. When he was cleaning up at the intersection, he was shocked by how clean it was.

Not only were there no weeds, but there weren't even grass roots. It was incredibly smooth and delicate.

The touch was indeed a bit like white jade.

Could it be that the people from the Immortality Research Institute implanted the White Jade Heart-Guarding Wood material into Tong Guoguo's body?

That would explain why her defense far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Putting a material that couldn't be absorbed into one's body... this Tong Guoguo really wasn't afraid of death.

Despite this, she was still so loyal to Mr. Soul. What a pitiful woman.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Ningbing's words snapped Xu Mu out of his thoughts.

Xu Mu turned to look at Xu Ningbing. She had already taken off her uniform, revealing a black sweater underneath.

The sweater was stretched high, hiding very terrifying things inside.

"I'm thinking about Yan Baizhi from earlier. If I'm not mistaken, she doesn't want to cooperate; she wants to set us up."

Xu Mu lay on the bed, crossing his legs.

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing turned to Xu Mu, "Reason?"

Xu Mu glanced over. The twin peaks were stacked together. This Xu Ningbing was definitely doing it on purpose.

"I remember, do you still owe me a reminiscence?"

Xu Mu got up from the bed and came in front of Xu Ningbing.

"You..."

Xu Ningbing naturally remembered, after all, he gave her the godly medicine.

Her face flushed slightly. In this kind of hotel, with the two of them alone in a room, it always felt a bit inappropriate.

Affection +10

"What? Going to back out?"

"Hmph! I, Xu Ningbing, always keep my word! Come on!"

Anyway, there was no one else here, and it was still early. It was a good time to pay off the debt.

Xu Mu rested his head on Xu Ningbing's lap, his eyes instantly blinded.

The power of thunder hung over his face, full of a sense of security. He didn't know who invented this thing, but just being close to it was exhilarating.

"Alright, back to the topic. Why do you think she's setting us up?"

If it were the old Xu Mu saying such things, Xu Ningbing wouldn't even bother paying attention.

But now, knowing Xu Mu's character, she naturally wanted to hear his opinion.

"The reason is simple. That Wu Tian and I are enemies."

Xu Mu said straightforwardly.

"Enemies? Do you mean Yan Baizhi deliberately approached us to help Wu Tian get revenge?"

Xu Ningbing asked, furrowing her elegant brows.

"Exactly. From the relationship between Yan Baizhi and Cui Yunshen just now, you can tell their families don't get along. The fact that they can peacefully coexist until now proves that neither can do anything to the other."

Xu Mu took a deep breath here, "Now that Cui Yunshen sees us getting close to the Yan family, what do you think he will do?"

Xu Ningbing lowered her head in thought, "If what you say is true, Yan Baizhi will definitely delay for time on purpose. I'll call and ask tomorrow."

Xu Mu smiled, "I believe it won't be long before something targets us."

Just a few minutes after he finished speaking, there was a knock on the room door.

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing's face turned bright red, and she immediately pushed Xu Mu away, as if she had done something wrong.

Affection +5

"Why are you so excited?"

Xu Mu jumped off the bed, walked over, and opened the door.

A young salesman in a suit smiled, "Young Master Xu! It really is you. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Jiangnan!"

Based on his original memories, Xu Mu knew this man was Liu Lei, a rich second-generation from Jiangnan.

His family's enterprise ranked in the top twenty in Jiangnan. He was considered a playboy and used to visit Jiangbei often, hanging out for a while.

But later, when the Xu family had an accident, the two lost contact.

"Young Master Liu, is there something you need?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"Young Master Xu, you treated me so many times back in Jiangbei. Now that you're in Jiangnan, I definitely have to return the favor."

Liu Lei winked at Xu Mu, "Let's go! There are girls, and I even got a few popular celebrities."

"Xu Mu! You are not going anywhere today!"

Xu Ningbing walked out from behind with her arms crossed, looking entirely like a strict legal wife.

Seeing Xu Ningbing, Liu Lei was stunned by her heavenly beauty. From her looks to her figure, she was absolutely top-tier.

No wonder Young Master Cui was interested in this woman.

Compared to her, those celebrities only had their fame left.
