"I protest, I helped you quite a bit this time, didn't I? If it weren't for me, your Empress sister might have died."
Nalan Shisan glanced at Fu Jinyu. "Whether you admit it or not, I played a huge part in your survival this time."
Fu Jinyu had always been someone who spoke her mind. If Nalan Shisan hadn't taken her phone and messaged Xu Mu to come help this time, she might have actually died.
Just like when she was being auctioned off before; if Xu Mu hadn't been there, she definitely would have been bought by people from other races.
At the time, those people made it very clear that they intended to cripple Fu Jinyu and use her to bear children.
Fu Jinyu certainly wouldn't have submitted. She would rather die than be humiliated by those people.
In a way, Nalan Shisan had indeed indirectly saved her.
"I admit that you did help me a lot this time. I'll return the favor next time."
Fu Jinyu looked calmly at Nalan Shisan.
"I don't need you to return the favor. Thanks to you, I get a share of the spirit stones this time. However, I want to sleep with you guys tonight. I want to have a heart-to-heart chat."
Nalan Shisan said to Fu Jinyu.
"Sleep with us? When did I ever say I was going to sleep with Xu Mu?"
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu sneaked a glance at Xu Mu and immediately looked away. "Don't treat me like a casual woman. As the dignified Empress of the Heavenly Demon Race, I can only do that sort of thing after a proper marriage."
"And here I thought you two slept together all the time."
Nalan Shisan smiled and waved her hand.
"If you mean sleeping in the same place, we are indeed together often."
Fu Jinyu told the truth. After all, she and Xu Mu had rested in hotels together before.
However, they always had their own separate beds.
Hearing this, Xu Mu shot Fu Jinyu a look. What was up with this woman?
Why was she telling Nalan Shisan everything?
"Is that so? That's perfect then, I'll sleep with you tonight."
Nalan Shisan said with a smile.
"No! I don't like sleeping with you."
Fu Jinyu said flatly, "You're too fat. You take up too much space."
"I know you're just jealous of me. I'm thick in all the right places. Right, little brother?"
Nalan Shisan turned to look at Xu Mu. "Since she doesn't like me, I'll just have to sleep with you."
"No!"
Before Xu Mu could speak, Fu Jinyu spoke up first. "You'd better sleep on my side."
Nalan Shisan smiled. "You're protecting Xu Mu so thoroughly, not even letting him off when he's sleeping."
Xu Mu shook his head slightly. Since Fu Jinyu had agreed, it wasn't his place to say anything.
The group left the hotpot restaurant and walked toward a nearby hotel.
Xu Mu entered the hotel first and booked a standard room.
Upon arriving at the room, he opened the window, and in the blink of an eye, two figures leaped inside.
Xu Mu then closed the window and drew the curtains.
He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the two women beside him. "Let's rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Fu Jinyu nodded and lay down on the bed.
Nalan Shisan sat on the sofa to the side and looked at Xu Mu. "How are you going to give me my spirit stones?"
"How about I personally make a trip to your ruins after we get the divine medicine this time?"
Xu Mu leaned against the bed and looked at Nalan Shisan. "Of course, if you don't trust me, I can give you the spirit stones right now."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I trust you."
Nalan Shisan tidied up the sofa. "I'll sleep here tonight. I won't disturb you two."
Fu Jinyu wasn't polite about it either; she hadn't wanted to sleep with her in the first place.
Xu Mu also lay down at this moment. He took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Tong, telling her he wouldn't be going back today.
Since he had nothing else to do, Xu Mu decided to spend all of his accumulated Justice Points on the lottery.
Previously, gathering everyone, cooking for them, and improving their strength had earned him a massive amount of Justice Points.
Plus, rescuing Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan this time had also provided some.
Opening the system to take a look, Xu Mu felt a surge of joy. This time, he had enough to do four ten-draws.
Assuming he didn't pull a bunch of trash, he would definitely be able to reach the Grandmaster Peak stage.
He lay down, clicked on the ten-draw, and the roulette wheel began to spin.
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 Spring Night Grass.
?
Xu Mu cursed inwardly. Being in the same room with two such women and pulling Spring Night Grass? What were the system's intentions?
However, what he could never understand was why Spring Night Grass always took up a draw slot.
After all, even fifth-grade heavenly treasures came in gift boxes now.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Fifth-Grade Heavenly Treasure Gift Box.
Speak of the devil.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
...
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.
The first ten-draw ended. Overall, it was decent, two minor items, and the rest were guaranteed drops.
Xu Mu didn't pause and continued with the second draw.
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 30 Attribute Points.
The second ten-draw consisted entirely of guaranteed drops. If it were before, Xu Mu might have complained about not getting any good items, but now he was only excited.
He felt that his current cultivation techniques were more than enough; what he lacked was cultivation realm.
The third ten-draw began.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Storage Space.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a God-level Ability: Level 6 Perception.
Seeing this, Xu Mu was startled. He hadn't expected his perception to level up again.
This ability was indeed very strong and had saved Xu Mu countless times. It was truly a good item.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-level Cultivation Technique: Formless Entanglement.
Xu Mu was filled with joy. Another Heaven-level technique.
This was a good pull; everything was high-quality.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 kilograms of Spirit Stones.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Third-Grade Heavenly Treasure Gift Box.
...
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.
After the ten draws ended, Xu Mu immediately started the final ten-draw.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Storage Space.
...
...
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 kilograms of Gold.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points.
With all four ten-draws finished, Xu Mu first checked the cultivation points he had obtained this time and found that they had increased by a full 600 points.
His attribute points had also increased by 300 points.
As for the cultivation techniques he acquired, he didn't even look at them, choosing instead to add all the points to himself first.
As the power within his body continuously strengthened, black text suddenly appeared before Xu Mu's eyes.
Congratulations to the host for entering the Grandmaster Peak stage.
Xu Mu exhaled deeply. He had finally reached the peak stage; next up was the Transcendent realm.
At this moment, both Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan, who were lying down, suddenly opened their eyes.
They looked at Xu Mu together. He had advanced?
How was that possible?
Breaking through the Grandmaster level in his sleep? What kind of monster was this?
Both Fu Jinyu and Nalan Shisan were considered geniuses.
But when they broke through to the Grandmaster peak stage, without exception, they all had to consume heavenly treasures to strengthen their meridians.
Only then could one step from the late stage of the Meridian Strengthening Realm into the perfect stage of the Organ Refining Realm.
This was because almost everyone's innate physical constitution was simply insufficient to achieve such a breakthrough.
Yet Xu Mu hadn't used a single rare natural treasure; he broke through just by sleeping. Was there any justice left in this world?
A faint light flickered in Nalan Shisan's eyes. She realized that her previous attitude toward Xu Mu had been wrong.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

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. ...

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.”
