Make a Fortune

Xu Mu looked at Tong Guoguo. When she said those words, her favorability did not decrease; instead, it increased.

[Favorability +10]

He smiled and said, "Because I believe in you, it's that simple."

"Hmph! Good thing you know what's good for you. If you hadn't taken out the Gu worm and tried to use it to control me and make me work for you, I definitely wouldn't have helped you."

Tong Guoguo crossed her arms and said indifferently.

While the two were chatting, several cars parked in front of the factory gate.

Several people dressed in Cleaner uniforms stepped out. The leader was an intermediate Cleaner, and the rest were juniors.

A police car arrived with them, as not everyone knew about the Cleaners.

"You must be Xu Mu, right?"

The middle-aged leader walked toward Xu Mu.

"That's right, please follow me."

Xu Mu led these people into the factory and together they entered the ruins.

After giving a brief explanation of the situation here, Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo went to where the helicopter was located.

Afterward, he piloted the helicopter back to Jiang City.

Xu Mu felt that today had been very fulfilling. He had poached an expert from Wang Hun, and more importantly, a female lead in the Transcendent Realm.

However, he also knew that after poaching Tong Guoguo, he and Wang Hun were now in a situation where one of them had to die.

If it were before, Wang Hun might have postponed killing Xu Mu if he encountered something important.

But now, he would probably prioritize dealing with him.

For now, Xu Mu felt it was best to keep Tong Guoguo hidden.

...

Back in Jiang City.

Xu Mu parked the helicopter at the Xu family manor.

He drove Tong Guoguo back to his own villa.

Along the way, he shared his plan to not let Tong Guoguo appear in the open for the time being.

Tong Guoguo agreed with Xu Mu's request; they really shouldn't alert the enemy right now.

If Wang Hun knew she had joined forces with Xu Mu, given his personality, he would definitely come over to kill them personally.

Tong Guoguo would be almost instantly killed facing Wang Hun, and Xu Mu would fare even worse.

Returning home.

Xu Mu first carved a teleportation array in the yard, sending Tong Guoguo back into the illusion array, saying that tonight, he would bring everyone to have dinner with her.

Today, Xu Mu wanted to thoroughly harvest some Justice Points, using Ye Tong's double-point aura to make a big profit.

It was still early, so Xu Mu moved to the underground cave beneath the garage, took out some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and entered a state of intense focus.

He wanted to refine more pills. No matter how small, meat is still meat. Even if the Qi Sea Pill wasn't as useful to Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo as before, it still had some effect.

Unknowingly, the sky grew dark.

Ye Tong came home first, and not long after, Ye Yu and Bai Yi also returned together.

"Wife, don't cook today, I'll do it. I'll gather everyone together, and we'll have a good meal."

Xu Mu said to Ye Tong first.

"Okay."

Ye Tong smiled and nodded; she had long wanted to bring all these people together.

After a few phone calls from Xu Mu, a group of people appeared in his villa.

These people had one thing in common: they were all absolute beauties.

Besides Ye Tong, Ye Yu, and Bai Yi, Xu Ningbing, Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Feng Yue all came to the yard.

Jiang Huihui was too far away, otherwise, he would have called her over too.

As for that older woman Song Nuanyang, Xu Mu planned to wait and see, since her filial piety value toward him wasn't very high.

"The purpose of calling everyone here today is very simple. I recently met an expert, and you can all take this opportunity to seek some guidance from her."

Xu Mu said to the surrounding crowd.

Turning off the villa's lights, he led the group to the yard and used his fastest speed to carve a teleportation array there.

"Come on!"

Xu Mu had them all stand on the array. After activating it, the group was teleported to the underground illusion array.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, where is this? Why is there a snow mountain?"

As soon as Ye Yu appeared, she hugged Xu Mu's arm and looked into the distance.

The others were also looking around in shock.

"This is underneath our villa. I carved an illusion array, so everything around us is fake."

At this point, Xu Mu pointed at Tong Guoguo standing in the distance. "But this person is real."

After saying that, he took out the things he had prepared earlier from his spatial ring.

He first spread a picnic mat on the grass, then took out large bottles of cola, Minute Maid orange juice, and beer.

Next, he brought out a barbecue grill, complete with all kinds of ingredients and charcoal.

"I'll be the chef today."

Xu Mu smiled at the girls as he spoke.

"Wow! We get to taste Brother's cooking again."

Dai Xingluo stared at Xu Mu with a completely lovestruck expression.

The others also looked at him. Those who had eaten Xu Mu's cooking before all felt that coming here today was the right choice.

They all had very high praise for Xu Mu's culinary skills.

[Favorability +10]

[Favorability +15]

...

Then, black text popped up directly above Ye Tong's head.

[Favorability +55]

Seeing these Justice Points, Xu Mu smiled. This felt amazing, and it was only the beginning.

Tong Guoguo walked over at this time. She looked at Xu Mu in surprise. "I didn't expect someone like you to know how to cook."

[Favorability +15]

Ye Tong, who was standing to the side, also provided the same amount of favorability.

"You can taste how it is in a bit."

Xu Mu smiled and said, "But before that, you need to fight them to make them feel hungry."

"I'll go first!"

Xu Ningbing suddenly took a few steps forward.

"No! All of you attack together. Guoguo is very strong; even combined, you're not her match."

Xu Mu said to the girls, "My goal this time is to give you experience in fighting an expert."

Tong Guoguo looked back at the crowd. With just these people, if she used her Heaven-tier cultivation method, she could stand still and let them attack without taking any damage.

"You should understand my good intentions. For gorgeous beauties like you, if I found a man to train you, he would definitely be tender and show mercy. That's why I found Tong Guoguo, who is equally a great beauty."

Xu Mu smiled as he scanned everyone present.

The girls' faces flushed slightly. Even though they knew they looked good, having Xu Mu say it out loud still made them a bit shy.

[Favorability +15]

[Favorability +20]

[Favorability +20]

...

Even Tong Guoguo curled her red hair around her finger, thinking about how he had claimed not to be interested in her body.

[Favorability +25]

Then, above Ye Tong's head, all these favorability points were doubled once again.

Awesome!

Xu Mu flipped the lamb skewers and squid back and forth, sprinkling seasoning with extra vigor.

Swish!

Xu Ningbing attacked first, charging toward Tong Guoguo.

Tong Guoguo watched Xu Ningbing's fist approach and caught it with one hand.

Bang!

She kicked Xu Ningbing in the stomach, sending her flying.

"Use your full strength. Use whatever cultivation methods you have. In front of me, you don't have the right to hold back."

Tong Guoguo crossed her arms and looked at the crowd frivolously.

Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo exchanged glances and charged at Tong Guoguo at the same time.

Facing their weapons, Tong Guoguo caught them barehanded and forcefully threw the two women away.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside Xu Mu's villa, a Li Auto MPV was parked. The rear window rolled down, revealing Wang Hun wearing a pair of sunglasses.

"Mr. Soul, it turns out no one is home. No wonder the bug I planted hasn't picked up any sound," the driver said from the front seat.
