Cui Yunshen's expression turned ugly. Could it be that because he hadn't agreed to let that woman see him before, the man was now throwing a tantrum?
Then, he laughed. Mr. Gao, I was just joking. Actually, Auntie Xiaoying wants to see you too. How about I give her a day off tomorrow?
No need. I've been quite busy lately and don't have time to see her.
Gao Sheng waved his hand dismissively and took another sip of his wolfberry water.
Cui Yunshen's tone instantly turned ice-cold. Gao Sheng, let's lay our cards on the table. What exactly is going on with you?
I've figured it out. Do I lack money? There are plenty of good women in the world waiting for me. Why should I waste my time on a cleaner?
Gao Sheng looked at Cui Yunshen. And just for that, you deliberately kept me hanging? Did I give you too much face?
Outrageous! How dare you speak to me like that?
Cui Yunshen shouted sternly.
What? Are you planning to use your ancient martial artists to kill me?
Gao Sheng had never been afraid of anyone in his life. His expression remained calm. I'm not young anymore anyway, so if I die, I die. But what would the country think? A hidden family murdering the family members of a Ministry of Commerce official just to expand their own business—that's no small crime.
Hearing this, Cui Yunshen's eyes narrowed slightly. This was indeed no trivial matter.
They were a hidden family, not a sect. If they dared to cross the line, what awaited them would be absolute destruction.
There were quite a few hidden families who had been wiped out by the Sanitation Department for failing to follow the rules.
Gao Sheng, I hope you reconsider.
After Cui Yunshen finished speaking, he turned and left.
I won't see you out.
Gao Sheng continued drinking his wolfberry water. Reconsider my ass.
What he was considering right now was what gift he should bring the next time he saw Zhou Xia.
...
The next morning, Xu Mu opened his eyes just like any other day.
Looking at the soundly sleeping Ye Tong beside him, a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing her slightly trembling long eyelashes, he didn't even need to think to know she was already awake.
Xu Mu got up and washed up simply. He had other things to do today.
Ye Tong peeked secretly, then immediately got dressed and got up, terrified of being dragged into another battle.
After washing up, Xu Mu saw Ye Tong waiting outside. He smiled, gave her peach-like bottom a pat, and headed downstairs.
He planned to refine the Fire Dates first. Refining Fire Dates required steaming them with other medicinal herbs beforehand.
So, he made breakfast while he was at it.
Before long, Ye Tong came downstairs and ate with Xu Mu.
A moment later, Ye Yu and Bai Yi also came down from upstairs together.
It was Ye Yu who had actively asked Bai Yi to stay over last night.
Xu Mu had also agreed to let her stay and took the initiative to send Dai Xingluo a message.
The two had just come downstairs.
Ye Yu smiled and greeted, Good morning, brother-in-law.
[Favorability +10]
Bai Yi's favorability increase was even higher than Ye Yu's.
[Favorability +15]
Because yesterday, she had finally witnessed how terrifying her master was.
She and Ye Yu often chatted privately before, and Ye Yu had mentioned Xu Mu's ferocity.
She hadn't paid much attention to it originally, but yesterday, sleeping in the next room, Ye Yu had even secretly left the door open a crack.
The sound waves generated by the battle clearly reached her ears.
Bai Yi's respect for Xu Mu deepened in her heart. He was too strong!
Come on, let's eat something together.
Xu Mu waved to the two of them.
After the meal, Ye Tong drove to work, and Ye Yu and Bai Yi also left together.
Xu Mu stayed home alone and took out the Fire Dates from before.
Taking out the pill furnace from his storage space, Xu Mu activated his focus. About half an hour later, a fiery red pill was successfully refined.
Xu Mu originally planned to refine the other pills as well, but his perception noticed that Feng Yue was getting ready to head out.
So he walked over quickly and blocked the front of Feng Yue's car.
Boss, what's wrong?
Feng Yue smiled and poked her head out.
[Favorability +10]
I thought I'd give you a gift.
Xu Mu walked up to the car and took out the last ring. Didn't I promise you before that I would give you a spatial ring?
Hearing this, Feng Yue's eyes immediately went round. She looked at the ring in Xu Mu's hand and said softly, I thought you were just making empty promises, Boss.
[Favorability +20]
She hadn't even minded, considering how precious such an item was.
She didn't expect Xu Mu to have remembered it all along.
I'm not that kind of person.
Xu Mu handed the ring to Feng Yue. I'm going back to work.
Feng Yue watched Xu Mu's back, her eyes flickering. Meeting Xu Mu was truly the greatest fortune of her life.
[Favorability +10]
...
After Xu Mu refined another batch of pills, he lay down on the sofa to rest.
The primary purpose of these pills was still to elevate Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.
He felt that Fu Jinyu could already be considered one of his own, but she had her own race behind her and couldn't be on call 24/7.
Song Nuanyang was still in the testing phase. Although her Filial Piety value was positive, it wasn't high enough yet.
As for Chen Xuan, he didn't need to worry about him at all.
Closing his eyes, Xu Mu realized that with the Justice points he just got from Feng Yue, he had exactly enough for three ten-draws.
He opened the roulette wheel and began the lottery.
Wang Hun and Chi Ting both wanted his life, so he needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Level Seven Array Master Title]
...
Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded to himself. Not bad.
The further he progressed, the more he felt that high-level arrays were extremely important.
Currently, killing Xu Mu was extremely difficult. He could turn invisible and change his appearance and voice.
But if Xu Mu were trapped inside an array, the chances of death would be very high.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Grade Three Natural Treasure Gift Box]
...
The first ten-draw ended, and Xu Mu non-stop started the second ten-draw.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Storage Space]
Xu Mu nodded secretly. This item was also good. Only he could see the storage space.
Even if he encountered a strong enemy in the future and they snatched his spatial ring, they wouldn't be able to obtain his true treasures.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, Form Displacement]
Holy crap?
Xu Mu sat straight up from the sofa. Another Heaven-grade technique?
It seemed his luck was quite good this time. He didn't check the technique right away, planning to wait until the end to check everything together.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
...
The second round ended, and Xu Mu, riding his burst of good luck, started the third ten-draw.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Qi Sea Pill Gift Box]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Grade One Natural Treasure Gift Box]
All three ten-draws ended, yielding a total of twenty-seven guaranteed rewards.
However, Xu Mu didn't check these points either. Instead, he first found the Heaven-grade technique he had obtained.
After clicking on the introduction, the technique integrated into him. Good heavens, so it isn't a combat-type after all.
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?!
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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!
