Liang Yi felt her body go limp and collapsed onto the grass, her body trembling uncontrollably.

It took her more than ten seconds to recover. "That's right! It's this wine. I feel it's even more potent than the one from the Immortal Life Research Institute."

"Now, are you willing to come with me?"

Xu Mu inquired.

“I’m willing! I’ll work for you for two years. If you can help me kick my alcohol addiction during those two years, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life.”

Liang Yi looked at Xu Mu with a serious expression.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

As Xu Mu spoke, he checked Liang Yi's filial piety rating and found it to be 3, which was not bad for someone who was originally an enemy.

"Alright, you just wait here. I need to finish refining these wines first."

Now that he knows how to refine it, he can speed things up.

...

dusk.

Xu Mu finished refining all the wine.

Five sealed water buckets, each about half a person's height, were filled.

Liang Yi was a little confused; her alcohol addiction had lasted for about twenty days.

In other words, she needs to drink a sip every twenty days to relieve the symptoms. Judging from this amount, Xu Mu could drink this for almost a lifetime.

"Since you're considered one of us, here's a gift for you."

Xu Mu took out two Qi Sea Pills from his person and handed them to Liang Yi.

When Liang Yi saw the elixir, he thought he was seeing things.

[Favorability +5]

"What do you mean? I haven't even done any work for you, and you're already giving me two Qi Sea Pills?"

"If you do things for me, my baby will need your help in the future."

As Xu Mu spoke, he used a teleportation array to take Liang Yi underground.

He also placed several large buckets in the deepest corner, so that he would only need to carry one bucket's worth of water with him from now on.

Liang Yi then saw Tong Guoguo here.

Tong Guoguo was eating fruit, while Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo were lying on the ground.

"Master Guoguo."

Liang Yi walked over in disbelief.

"I remember you, you seem to be the captain of the disciplinary department. So you're one of Xu Mu's people too."

Tong Guoguo said calmly.

Dai Xingluo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. "Isn't this your defeated opponent? What are you doing here?"

“From today onwards, I will also work for Xu Mu.”

Liang Yi glanced at Dai Xingluo indifferently, "Also, last time it was two of you and that cleaner fighting one-on-one, you were no match for me."

"Interesting, let's give it a try now, to determine who's better and who's dead!"

Dai Xinglu drew his longsword.

"It's enough to determine who is better. Right now, I still need Liang Yi, who is infiltrating the Immortal Research Institute."

Xu Mu emerged from the depths, saying, "We're all good sisters."

"Who is her best friend?"

Dai Xinglu snorted coldly, "Even if we take a step back, I'd rather be best friends with Meng Wanyue than be friends with her!"

"I don't like hearing that," Meng Wanyue murmured from the side.

Just as Xu Mu was about to speak, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Yan Baizhi calling.

So he answered the call, "Hello."

"Xu Mu, your Xu family is in trouble. What happened at the Cui family today has spread throughout Jiangnan. I have sent people to investigate. I heard that several elders of the Demon Sword Sect have already rushed to the Cui family and I believe they will arrive at your home tonight."

Yan Baizhi said on the other end of the phone, "The Demon Sword Sect's strength should not be underestimated. You were too impulsive!"

"Then let them come. I have a few hot-tempered guys here who want to fight."

Xu Mu smiled and spoke, completely unconcerned.

"You think I'm joking? Even if you manage to escape, what about your family?"

Yan Baizhi said gravely, "Go and hide somewhere quickly."
