"Qingying, this is Ye Tong, Xu Mu's wife."
Feng Yue explained beside her.
"Miss Ye, hello."
Mu Qingying nodded politely. Since she was the legitimate wife, she naturally had to treat her seriously.
"Now that you've taken the initiative to come to our home, does that mean you accept Xu Mu?"
Ye Tong took the initiative to hold Mu Qingying's hand.
Mu Qingying felt somewhat flattered. Looking at Ye Tong's expression at the moment, it didn't seem like sarcasm.
"I... accept Xu Mu?"
"What? Haven't you accepted him yet? Xu Mu's feelings for you run deep. He dreams of making you his wife."
Ye Tong secretly glanced at Xu Mu, who was preparing ingredients in the distance, and whispered, "Then, the few of us will eat and live together. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Mu Qingying was a bit dumbfounded. She stared at Ye Tong's handsome profile, finding her harder and harder to read.
This... wasn't what she had imagined.
According to her expectations, Ye Tong should have taken the initiative to make her leave.
Saying something like, "You don't deserve my husband" or something.
Suddenly, Mu Qingying narrowed her eyes. This woman's scheming was deep.
Her goal was likely to get her to marry first, then use her status as the legitimate wife to target her everywhere.
For instance, making her fetch foot-washing water.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingying felt even more fearful of Ye Tong.
Now she really had to seriously consider whether she wanted to be Xu Mu's woman.
"Qingying, from now on, the few of us are on the same side."
Feng Yue also grabbed Mu Qingying's hand and said softly.
"Okay."
Mu Qingying forced a smile. For now, she could only take things one step at a time.
...
"Alright! Everyone come eat."
Xu Mu called out from the distance.
Mu Qingying was amazed inside. She had never imagined that someone like Xu Mu would cook at home.
Whether it was good or not, just this fact alone made her respect him a bit more.
[Affection +10]
Above Ye Tong's head, a similar affection score also appeared.
"Big brother, what did you make this time?"
Dai Xingluo ran over first and asked with a smile.
"Hand-pulled noodles."
Xu Mu glanced lightly at Dai Xingluo. "One bowl for each person, to save you all from fighting."
"I've never fought over it."
Dai Xingluo stuck out her tongue.
"Come on, everyone come get your bowls."
Xu Mu picked up the ladle. One bowl of hand-pulled noodles for each person, with the heavenly treasures inside roughly the same.
Tong Guoguo used her Qi to gather the earth elements on the ground, forming a round table made of petrified soil in front of them.
Several soil stools also emerged from the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Qingying was in awe. No wonder her father said that powerful ancient martial artists were like gods to ordinary people.
Seeing it today, it truly was extraordinary.
She looked at the hand-pulled noodles in front of her. At least from the appearance, they looked very good.
Mu Qingying picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. Her eyes instantly lit up. "Delicious!"
[Affection +20]
She hadn't expected Xu Mu's cooking to be so impressive.
Suddenly, she felt power surging inside her body.
Bang!
She felt as if some kind of shackle inside her had suddenly broken through.
Mu Qingying took another bite of a purple-red vegetable leaf.
Bang!
Another shackle in her body seemed to burst open.
Fu Jinyu, who was eating, suddenly stared at Mu Qingying. "You advanced? And by two levels in a row?"
"That's because Xu Mu added heavenly treasures to this bowl of noodles."
Tong Guoguo took a bite of the noodles and then smiled. Every time she ate Xu Mu's cooking, it was a pleasure.
[Affection +15]
Hearing this, Fu Jinyu also took a bite. Her eyes widened. "Delicious. It increases my power so much—at least a sixth-grade heavenly treasure."
[Affection +15]
Mu Qingying was shocked inside. She had heard her father talk about heavenly treasures before.
Back then, when her mother was seriously ill, her father spent a fortune to get a physician who practiced ancient martial arts.
The physician had said that to cure her mother's illness, a fifth-grade heavenly treasure was needed.
At that time, her father had visited hidden families, willing to trade his entire fortune for a fifth-grade heavenly treasure, but failed.
In the end, her mother died early.
Yet now, Xu Mu was directly using a sixth-grade heavenly treasure to cook a meal for her?
She had truly stumbled into paradise.
[Affection +25]
If this was the daily life at Xu Mu's home, she would be willing to even fetch Ye Tong's foot-washing water.
"Big brother! I want more of your noodles!"
Dai Xingluo raised her empty bowl and laughed.
[Affection +15]
She scanned the few people around her. Those who didn't understand were still tasting, but those who truly understood were already getting their second serving.
"Alright."
Xu Mu nodded with a smile.
"Xu Mu, me too."
Jiang Huihui also pursed her lips and held up her empty bowl.
[Affection +15]
She finally understood why the people around Xu Mu were progressing so quickly.
The food they ate was like pills. To put it bluntly, even a pig living in Xu Mu's home could soar.
Let alone the fact that the people here had pretty good talent.
"Boss's cooking is as amazing as always."
Feng Yue followed along.
[Affection +15]
She didn't compete with them for food. She also understood that there was still a gap between her strength and theirs.
At Xu Mu's place, having strength was the ultimate truth.
"Brother Mu, I want more too."
Meng Wanyue also carried her bowl and walked toward Xu Mu.
"There's enough for everyone, don't rush."
Xu Mu served them each a bowl.
Fu Jinyu also walked over with her bowl. "I haven't had enough yet."
"I believe you really haven't had enough."
Xu Mu said with a smile to Fu Jinyu.
"What do you mean? Are you complaining that I eat too much?"
Fu Jinyu asked coldly.
"I never said that."
Xu Mu chuckled awkwardly and immediately gave Fu Jinyu another bowl.
Looking at the affection scores that occasionally appeared above their heads, along with the continuous doubling above Ye Tong's head, he showed a satisfied smile.
It was worth cooking for them.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Mu Qingying didn't come again, but Fu Jinyu and Jiang Huihui stayed in the villa for these two days.
Everyone was training in this heaven-grade martial art.
It had to be said, these people were all geniuses. Fu Jinyu had already mastered it; all that remained was to use it more and become proficient.
As for Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, Jiang Huihui, and Tong Guoguo, they had all grasped the hidden ability of Diving into the Deep.
When they entered the water, they almost completely merged with it, and no breath of aura escaped.
However, Xu Mu's perception could still easily detect them.
This morning, Xu Mu noticed that in the outsourced cleaner group, the group owner, Still Water Runs Deep, had sent another notification to all members.
The group owner said that the internal realm problem in the northwest region was getting worse and needed help urgently.
Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then signed up in the group.
Since the few people around him had all learned Diving into the Deep, Xu Mu planned to first gift this technique to the Cold Immortal Sect, and also take a look at another heaven-grade technique from the sect.
After that, he would head to the internal realm in the northwest region.
Just then, he noticed that someone else had immediately signed up below him—exactly that IAmTheCraziestInGroup.
"This woman is targeting me."
Seeing this, Xu Mu gave a cold laugh.
He didn't care who she was. If she made him uncomfortable, he absolutely wouldn't let it slide.
The doorbell rang.
Xu Mu checked using his perception.
He saw that a guest had arrived—a man carrying a urea woven bag and riding an electric scooter, standing in front of his house.

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...
