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.
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."
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
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?!
