Xu Mu was inwardly surprised as he walked over and opened the front door, "Did you fly over? How is it that the moment the call ended, you arrived?"
"I was already almost here when I made the call."
Dai Xingluo had just walked in when she saw Feng Yue wearing a long dress standing to the side, "Oh my, it seems this younger sister came at a bad time."
"Hello, my name is Feng Yue."
Feng Yue sized up Dai Xingluo in front of her, who was dressed in Hanfu.
She was also inwardly surprised; this woman was so pretty.
Her natural looks possessed the delicate and intellectual charm of an ancient-style beauty.
Combined with the Hanfu and makeup, she truly seemed to have stepped out of ancient times.
"What is your relationship with Brother?"
Dai Xingluo was also sizing up Feng Yue. This woman was very enchanting, and just by looking at her, she did not seem like a good person.
"I work for Young Master Xu."
Feng Yue answered with a smile and then asked, "Are you Young Master Xu's younger sister?"
"No, I am Brother's wife, though not yet formally wedded."
Dai Xingluo linked her arm through Xu Mu's, "Brother, you are an adult too. You should have basic judgment; it is better to have less contact with certain women."
Feng Yue's smile grew even more radiant.
This woman still wanted to act clever in front of her.
Generally, someone who said such things was definitely not the legal wife, so she naturally had no need to yield.
"This younger sister is right; certain women indeed should be avoided."
Feng Yue nodded with a smile.
"Who is your younger sister?"
Dai Xingluo suddenly looked at Feng Yue with an unkind expression.
"Ah? So you are older than me? How does Elder Sister maintain herself?"
Feng Yue asked with a curious expression.
"Brother~ Younger sister doesn't want to stand anymore, my legs hurt."
Dai Xingluo ignored Feng Yue, instead shaking Xu Mu's arm coquettishly, "You made me unable to get out of bed all day; it's all Brother's fault."
"Then I am a bit better than you; I could get out of bed in half a day."
Feng Yue crossed her arms and smiled as she responded from the side.
"You..."
Dai Xingluo immediately stared at Feng Yue, her gaze bone-chillingly cold.
This woman was not easy to deal with!
Ordinary women would never be able to say such things.
Yet the woman in front of her remained calm and collected. Her guess had indeed been correct.
This woman was definitely not a good person.
"Stop arguing!"
Xu Mu stood between the two of them with a helpless expression.
He had already caught the killing intent in Dai Xingluo's eyes.
"Xingluo, Feng Yue is indeed my person, and she works for me."
Xu Mu patted Feng Yue on the shoulder.
"Why explain it to me specifically? Does Brother think I am being unreasonable?"
Dai Xingluo wore a resentful expression, "Fine, fine, it turns out it was younger sister's fault after all."
"It is my fault. When Elder Sister was lecturing me, I shouldn't have talked back."
Feng Yue looked aggrieved, "Young Master Xu, I will head back. I have disturbed your good mood; I deserve to die."
Xu Mu looked at these two women, both acting as if they had suffered the greatest grievance in the world.
They were acting so convincingly.
Did they really think he couldn't see through it?
However, he had to admit that an ordinary man might truly not be able to handle this.
Perhaps the moment he saw them pout, he would start coaxing them with "My baby, it's all my fault."
Xu Mu simply shoved his hands into his pockets and looked calmly at the two, "Stop messing around, you are both my wings."
Dai Xingluo and Feng Yue both stared at him as if he were a fool.
Is that something a human would say? Wasn't he too much of a scumbag?
"If we are your wings, then what about Elder Sister Ye Tong?" Dai Xingluo asked.
"Oh, then you are all my feathers."
Xu Mu continued.
That was even scummier.
"Alright, stop messing around. Didn't you ask me to perform Alchemy? Give me the items."
Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo with a smile.
Dai Xingluo took off her small shoulder bag and handed it to Xu Mu, "I want a Medicinal Pill to enhance strength."
Xu Mu nodded slightly. The last Qi Sea Pill he had on him had been given to Jiang Huihui.
Otherwise, he would have planned to give it to Dai Xingluo.
"Alright, leave it to me."
Xu Mu nodded.
"Young Master Xu, then I won't disturb you any longer. I will head back first."
Feng Yue waved gently at Xu Mu.
This time she meant it. Without waiting for Xu Mu or the others to reply, she turned and left immediately.
Xu Mu opened the bag and glanced over the medicinal herbs, discovering that there was a blue sunflower inside as well.
Since there was a blue sunflower, he planned to refine another Qi Sea Pill for Dai Xingluo.
"Brother, how long does Alchemy take?"
Dai Xingluo asked from the side.
"A few hours," Xu Mu replied without hesitation.
"Then I will head back first; I still have things to do."
Dai Xingluo said with a smile.
"Alright."
Xu Mu nodded, opened his Storage Space, and took out the remaining medicinal herbs.
...
Dai Xingluo briskly left the Villa area.
Just as she reached the main gate, she saw Feng Yue get into a Porsche Cayenne.
She wore a sneer. This stinking woman actually dared to go head-to-head with her.
She was not Ye Tong; did she really expect her to back down from her?
Dai Xingluo drove her Mercedes-Benz AMG and chased after her.
Feng Yue drove out of Jiang City, preparing to turn onto the highway, but her path was blocked by a car.
Dai Xingluo immediately got out of the car and strode toward Feng Yue.
Feng Yue frowned slightly, intending to reverse and leave without lowering herself to Dai Xingluo's level.
However, with a single leap, Dai Xingluo instantly landed on the hood of Feng Yue's car.
Seeing this, Feng Yue brought the car to a complete stop. So she was also an Ancient Martial Artist, and even stronger than herself.
Still, judging by Dai Xingluo's attitude toward her the moment they met,
Feng Yue had already roughly guessed her personality.
She just hadn't expected her to make a move so quickly.
When dealing with such people, Feng Yue had her own methods.
She had been out making her own way since she was very young and had seen far too many things like this.
Feng Yue brought the car to a stop, opened the door, and stepped out with a smile, "Elder Sister, how is it that you..."
Swish!
Dai Xingluo instantly appeared in front of Feng Yue with a dagger pressed against her throat.
Feng Yue immediately raised her hands.
"Old woman! You are older than me!"
Dai Xingluo glared with a fierce expression.
"But when I called you younger sister just now, you wouldn't accept it."
Feng Yue put on an aggrieved look.
"Stop fucking pretending in front of me! Do you think I am that foolish brother? Can't I smell the vixen stench on you?"
Dai Xingluo grabbed Feng Yue by the shoulder, opened the rear door of the Cayenne, and shoved her inside.
She climbed in after her, continuing to hold the dagger against Feng Yue's neck.
"Then what should I call you?"
Feng Yue raised her hands somewhat fearfully.
"You don't need to call me anything. You only need to know that if you ever dare to appear in front of Brother again, I will kill you!"
Dai Xingluo said with a cold expression, "I am not joking with you."
"No can do. Young Master Xu saved my life and assigned me a task, which I must complete."
Feng Yue looked at Dai Xingluo and pleaded, "Elder Sister, I was wrong. Please spare me; I will definitely fulfill the duties of a younger sister from now on."
This was Feng Yue's method: to temporarily back down. Without absolute certainty, she would never go head-to-head with anyone.
No one could predict the future; saving her own life came first.
"I don't need you—"
"You do!"
Feng Yue interrupted Dai Xingluo, "Young Master Xu has quite a few women by his side, and all of them are very strong."
"What are you trying to say?"
Dai Xingluo narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Threatening me can only make me leave, but it can't make the others leave. If they band together, will you have an easy time in the future?"
Feng Yue looked at Dai Xingluo with a solemn expression, "If I stand on your side, you will have an ally. In the future, even when we sleep, Elder Sister will still rank ahead of me."
