Xu Mu is a very shrewd person.

Shi Fumeng sat on the bench, her mouth in a pout, her expression downcast, and didn't look at Xu Mu.

"I'm asking you a question! Stop playing dumb with me."

Xu Mu shouted coldly.

"They all know the old place, but they won't tell me because I'm not Yue Wangshu's person."

Shi Fumeng wiped her tears. "I really had nowhere else to go, so I bought a plane ticket to Jiang City."

"You can go find your friends. Stop bothering me, and don't cry in front of me. I get annoyed when I see women cry."

Xu Mu said to Shi Fumeng.

"I don't have friends. Other than you... I have no friends."

Shi Fumeng's eyes turned red. She stood up from the bench, walked over to Xu Mu, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I don't want to just be ordinary friends with you."

"So you plan to be my enemy?"

Xu Mu asked coldly.

"You..."

Shi Fumeng looked up at Xu Mu. "I want to be good friends with you. Can we make up? I swear I won't ask for your cultivation method anymore."

Xu Mu first checked Shi Fumeng's filial piety value toward him and found it had increased to 4.

This level belonged to an average father and daughter, where family affection was tied to interests.

Although it couldn't compare to others, it was at least considered a father-daughter relationship.

"Shi Fumeng, you've betrayed me before. How can I be sure you won't betray me again?"

Regarding the female lead in front of him, Xu Mu's heart was very conflicted.

First of all, Xu Mu instinctively didn't want to use this kind of woman.

But he also knew that if Shi Fumeng left him, there was a high probability she would return to Wu Tian's side.

This was something Xu Mu didn't want to see.

Should he just kill Shi Fumeng to prevent this?

"When I came here, I already thought it through. Xu Mu, I am willing to fulfill your daydream."

Shi Fumeng lowered her head, her hands tightly clasped together. "Don't worry, although I am from the Valley of Ten Thousand Races, I have kept my body chaste all these years. Everything is my first time."

Xu Mu wasn't surprised. A normal female lead would most likely be like this.

Unless he encountered the kind of male lead who liked wearing green hats and driving second-hand cars.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu suddenly felt a little nervous. Would he encounter that kind of male lead?

If he did, it would be troublesome.

This kind of male lead came with built-in mental attacks. If he wanted to sever the interaction and connection between him and the female lead, Xu Mu would need to conquer his second-hand harem.

Xu Mu shook his head, deciding not to think about this anymore. He needed to solve the matter at hand first.

"What's the price? Someone like you wouldn't just give yourself to me for nothing, right? Do you still want my cultivation method?"

"No! I don't want the cultivation method! I only have one request. Please help me get revenge."

Shi Fumeng grabbed Xu Mu's hand. "As long as you help me get revenge, I will be your person from now on. I'll do whatever you ask."

"Who is your enemy?"

Xu Mu asked tentatively.

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Then what the hell are you avenging?"

Xu Mu waved his hand. "Are you messing with me?"

"No, I really don't know who my enemy is, but I've been investigating. Maybe I'll find out soon."

Shi Fumeng said to Xu Mu.

"If you're playing this game, I definitely can't agree."

Xu Mu shook his head.

"Why? You're so strong and talented. Avenging me in the future should be a piece of cake for you."

Shi Fumeng wiped her tears pitifully. "Am I really that unworthy?"

"If you could clearly state who your enemy is, I could answer you immediately. But you say you don't know. Then let me ask you, what if your enemy turns out to be my good friend?"

Xu Mu looked at Shi Fumeng. "My refusing you actually shows that I keep my word."

Shi Fumeng thought for a moment and realized that Xu Mu's words made sense.

If it were an ordinary man, he would have agreed right away. They wouldn't care about the future and would just want to get her into bed first.

But Xu Mu weighed the pros and cons and analyzed it seriously.

This man... was indeed reliable.

[Favorability +10]

"Alright, you can go now. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Xu Mu left on his own initiative and returned to his own villa.

He had other things to do, such as refining pills. He had obtained a large amount of heavenly treasures this time.

Shi Fumeng looked at Xu Mu's back and took a deep breath.

She figured it out. Once you miss out on some people, they're gone.

Just as Xu Mu said earlier, she had betrayed him once. What if there was a next time?

Shi Fumeng wiped her tears and left the place. She paused at the entrance of Xu Mu's house.

After stopping for a few dozen seconds, she revealed a bitter smile. "Goodbye."

After saying that, she walked out of the villa area. She had decided not to bother Xu Mu anymore.

The two parted ways just like that, becoming strangers.

She walked past Xu Mu's villa and arrived in front of Feng Yue's villa.

Feng Yue was wearing jeans and a white shirt. The jeans perfectly outlined her proud peach-like curves.

It was simply a work of art. Anyone passing by, whether male or female, would take a few extra glances.

Shi Fumeng was no exception.

"What's wrong? Did Xu Mu bully you?"

Feng Yue asked with a smile.

Shi Fumeng looked at Feng Yue with red eyes. "No... do you know him?"

"Of course, we are neighbors after all."

Feng Yue opened the gate. "Want to come in for a cup of tea?"

Shi Fumeng hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The two of them went to the living room of the villa. Feng Yue brought Shi Fumeng a cup of tea, then pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it. I can still offer some good advice when it comes to relationships."

Feng Yue smiled and looked Shi Fumeng up and down. This woman looked very innocent, like a high school student.

However, her deep blue eyes were very profound.

She didn't know if it was the effect of colored contacts or if she was a person with a lot of stories.

"I... I don't know how to describe it. Simply put, Xu Mu treated me very well, but I betrayed him to survive."

Shi Fumeng said, holding her teacup.

"That's normal. Betrayal only happens zero times or countless times. You've betrayed him before, so how can you make him trust you?"

Feng Yue said softly.

"Yeah, I know, that's why I..."

"But it's not impossible."

Feng Yue suddenly winked at Shi Fumeng. "Xu Mu is a very shrewd guy. Before, when he saw a schoolgirl faint, he immediately gave her artificial respiration until his mouth bubbled, only for someone to tell him her mouth was on the other side."

"Then where was he doing it... Pfft!"

Shi Fumeng spat out her tea, her face turning bright red. "Sister, stop joking."

"What I mean is, to deal with Xu Mu, just use your honey trap. He won't be able to resist."

Feng Yue said with a smile, "Of course, the premise is that you truly realize your mistake and won't betray him again."

"I definitely won't. He's the first person to treat me sincerely, and I already know I was wrong."

Shi Fumeng shook her head.

"That's good. You stay here for now, and I'll take you to his house tonight."

Feng Yue just so happened to want this schoolgirl to test Ye Tong.

These past few days when Xu Mu wasn't home, Ye Tong always came to chat with her, saying that Xu Mu was from a hidden noble family and having three wives and four concubines was very normal.

Once or twice was fine, but Ye Tong said it almost every time she came over, to the point where Feng Yue almost believed it.

But she didn't want to put Xu Mu in a tough spot, so today was the perfect chance to let this schoolgirl give it a try.
