Chapter 1: A Cute Adult Man
Jiucai Country, Muyi Mansion.
"Bitch! You... you actually dared to poison me..."
Mu Renjia, 47 years old, is the chief imperial physician of the palace. He is proficient in medicine and pharmacology and specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases for the royal family. He believes that there is no disease in the world that he cannot cure and no poison that he cannot detect.
However, today, he was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him was none other than his concubine, Mu Shuangyan, whom he had favored for more than three years.
Mu Shuangyan watched Mu Renjia roll off the bed, spitting black blood, covering his chest, and staring at her fiercely, as if she were a wolf crawling out of the abyss.
She smiled.
He lifted the quilt, slowly picked up clothes from the ground, put them on one by one, and watched Murenjia struggling in pain on the ground with a smile.
"Why not? I've lived my life like a walking corpse. Before I die, what's wrong with me doing something reckless?"
"I...I think I've treated you well..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Renjia couldn't help but vomit black blood on the ground. His eyes turned black and he became blind.
"You treat me well? That's right, isn't it?" She opened her red lips slightly, her voice charming and seductive, "As for me, the person I want to kill the most is the one who treats me well."
Mu Shuangyan maintained a smile with a perfect arc, her eyes full of charm, however, she looked at Mu Renjia on the ground as if he were garbage.
The next second after she finished speaking, blood began to flow out of Murenjia's ears and he became deaf.
Mu Shuangyan was very dissatisfied with this.
"Tsk, it seems I prepared the prescription in the wrong order. He should have lost his hearing last. How annoying~"
Mu Renjia couldn't hear what she said. He could feel his internal organs all spasming and intense pain spread throughout his body. He couldn't bear it anymore and began to scream desperately.
"Help—help—"
Mu Shuangyan frowned, she kicked Mu Renjia hard, and then stepped hard on Mu Renjia's mouth with the sole of her shoe.
"It's so noisy! My ears are almost hurting from your shouting. What's the point of shouting? It's useless. No one will come to save you."
A few days ago, she quietly poisoned the water source of the mansion. Late at night, they would automatically faint and could not be woken up no matter what.
However, Mu Renjia had already lost his hearing and could not hear Mu Shuangyan's words at all, and was still struggling desperately.
Mu Shuangyan was a little impatient about this. She moved her feet away, allowing Mu Renjia to start looking for help everywhere. She walked towards the oil lamp next to her and pushed it gently with her hand, and the oil lamp fell to the ground.
"Tonight, I will give you a grand cremation. Enjoy it."

The sky is clear and there is a gentle breeze.
The emerald green and tender bamboo leaves flutter in the wind, and occasionally a few dead bamboo leaves slowly fall on the yellowed soil. The fresh air makes people feel refreshed and intoxicated involuntarily.
However, this quiet and comfortable atmosphere was soon broken.
The sound of breaking wind was heard, and countless bamboos fell down. Looking up, I saw two huge axes flying in the air, leaving no space behind wherever they passed.
The giant axe kept moving forward, drawing a large circle in the air, and finally returned to the starting point, where it was caught by a pair of slightly calloused hands.
Looking closer, the person waving the sword was actually a young girl. She was wearing a fiery red tights, her light honey-colored skin sparkled in the sun, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, exuding the youthful spirit unique to a girl.
"Qiuyue, please be careful. This is the only training ground we have."
A soft and gentle voice sounded beside her ears. Tang Qiuyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, who was looking at her helplessly.
This person was Mo Youli. The chubby face he had as a child had completely disappeared, and his face now had clear contours. Compared to when he was a child, he looked quite different now.
Because of Tang Qiuyue's reckless behavior, the bamboos fell to the ground one after another and hit him. His light blue brocade robe made of high-quality fabric was destroyed.
"Sorry, sorry. I will pay more attention next time."
Seeing Mo Youli's condition, Tang Qiuyue immediately inserted the two giant axes into the back of her belt and buckled them in a cross shape. Then she clasped her hands together and quickly apologized.
But Mo Youli knew her very well. She basically just talked but didn't do anything. He held his forehead and was about to say a few more words when a sudden loud bang immediately diverted the attention of everyone present.
That seems to be where Beiju usually practices...
Upon realizing this, Mo Youli was speechless for a moment.
These two are indeed siblings, each of them is a real worry.

Eight years is not long, but not short either.
But for a person's growth, it is enough to bring about big changes.
In the lush bamboo forest, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a green robe, stood motionless with his eyes closed, holding a long sword in his right hand.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly.
The next second, the long sword seemed to be a part of his body. The dazzling sword light shot straight up, and the strong airflow spread in all directions, making a "bang bang bang" sound. The surrounding bamboos simultaneously broke away from the ground and soared into the sky, forming a closed bamboo wall.
"Tang Beiju, when you practice swordplay, can you please not use such a large range every time? It's always like this. I've told you hundreds of times!!!"
A white shadow flashed from the air. Xu Ren'er swung his front legs, and the dog legs wrapped in white boots suddenly grew ten times larger, collecting all the bamboos in the air at once and placing them on an open space.
When they first came out of the Pipi Armory, no one knew what the purpose of this pair of boots was.
It wasn't until five years ago, on a sunny day, that Yu Hui had an idea. After Xu Ren'er learned most of the moves, Yu Hui asked Xu Ren'er to fight him.
It would have been bad enough that Xu Ren'er was defeated in every way, but Yu Hui also humiliated her verbally while beating her.
They said that although she looked like a dog, she was actually an old woman. They complained that she was old and shameless, hanging out with young people like them every day...
They also slandered her, saying she probably never took a bath, was lazy and gluttonous, and was probably an ugly, disgusting thing...
How could Xu Ren'er tolerate this? He was so furious that he wanted to tear Yu Hui's mouth apart with his own hands!!!
So, at the moment when his patience reached the critical point, Xu Ren'er exploded. The white boots suddenly disappeared and became transparent, while Xu Ren'er's forelimbs instantly enlarged ten times.
If Yu Hui hadn't been experienced and dodged in time, he would have almost died on the spot, and they would have been left without a master.
"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Tang Beiju said concisely.
"Then I sincerely hope you can keep what you just said."
A voice suddenly came, and the boy in blue and the girl in red appeared from the side at the same time. The one who spoke was the boy in blue - Mo Youli.
He glanced at the pile of bamboos piled on the ground by Xu Ren'er, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed deeply.
"Really, there's nothing we can do to you."
Mo Youli reluctantly took out the white jade flute from his waist and put it to his lips.
The next second, the sound of the flute sounded, the rhythm was cheerful and lively, making people's blood boil and trying to jump on the spot.
Along with the sound of the flute, the soil suddenly began to vibrate slightly, and densely packed insects of different colors broke out of the ground.
The insects crawled towards the pile of chopped bamboo. In a short while, all the bamboo on the ground was gone, leaving no trace.
After eating and drinking, the insects crawled back to their original positions in an orderly manner and then burrowed deep into the soil.
At this point, the song stops.
"Your weapon is truly extraordinary. Even though I've seen it many times, it still feels magical every time."
Tang Qiuyue sighed.
Tang Beiju on the side nodded, agreeing with Tang Qiuyue's statement.
"How can this weapon be so useful? Ali worked so hard!"
Xu Ren'er was a little unhappy about Tang Qiuyue's remarks and complained for Mo Youli:
“If you just play it, it doesn’t matter.
But playing the white jade flute in Ali's hand consumes a lot of the flute player's physical strength, especially when playing destructive music. The more dramatic the scene created by the music, the more exhausted the flute player will become."
"Ren'er, although I know you are doing this for my own good, you are exaggerating."
Mo Youli was at a loss for words when he heard Xu Ren'er's words. He added the part that Xu Ren'er had deliberately omitted:
"Although destructive music does consume some of my energy, it also depends on the target. If the target is just leaves or bamboo, which won't actively attack me, it won't consume much energy."
Even if he is aggressive, if the opponent's fighting power is far inferior to his, it will not consume much of his energy.
The reason why he complained a little was that he felt a little annoyed by having to clean up the mess every time.
As for Xu Ren'er, who had been with Mo Youli for so long, she certainly knew that the reason she deliberately exaggerated was just because she hoped that the two siblings could restrain themselves.
Otherwise, if we continue to harm the surrounding bamboos, this bamboo forest where we practice martial arts will soon be turned into flat ground.
Xu Ren'er glared at Mo Youli in dissatisfaction and was about to say a few more words.
Suddenly, four large green fruits fell from the sky and hit the four of them on the head with a "thump", creating a big bump.
"My lovely disciples, come and admire Master's new look! Doesn't it look good? Isn't it charming?"
Yu Hui's call immediately attracted everyone's attention. The four guys all glanced at Yu Hui, and then...
There was collective silence.
The peach-pink gauze skirt is floor-length, and the bright pink embroidered shoes form a sharp contrast with the yellowed ground. Five blooming peach blossoms are pinned in her hair.
To be fair, this outfit is really unique. If it is worn by a pretty girl, it will be quite pleasing to the eye.
However, if it is an adult man who is about to turn 30, it would be a bit tragic.
It was because Yu Hui's face was relatively fair that it didn't look too eye-catching, otherwise those guys would probably have vomited on the spot.
Unfortunately, Yu Hui wasn't the type to let his disciples be at peace. He used his large, pink-tinted eyes to flirt with them, even sporting a seductive smile...
"You old bastard!"
Xu Ren'er cursed at Yu Hui on the spot, and then she excreted a lot into the dirt...
As for Tang Qiuyue, she didn't even have time to curse before she vomited...
Mo Youli couldn't do something as embarrassing as vomiting on the spot, so he could only keep twitching his eyes and try hard to manage his expression.
In order to divert his attention, he glanced at Tang Beiju's position, intending to use Tang Beiju's expressionless face to clear his eyes.
Then, he was shocked.
Who is this young man in front of me with red cheeks and evasive eyes, as if he is face to face with his sweetheart? ! !
"Beiju, you..."
For a moment, Mo Youli's mind went blank and he couldn't find any words to communicate with Tang Beiju.
Mo Youli's voice successfully woke Tang Beiju up. He saw Mo Youli's expression and clearly realized that he seemed to have lost his composure.
Damn it! Yu Hui's outfit reminded him of his shameful childhood.
His face was completely red with anger. He didn't want to look at Yu Hui any longer and make him recall those unfortunate years.
"Yu Hui, you are seeking death."
Tang Beiju's tone was calm, but mixed with a hint of anger. His eyes were cold. He casually tore off the corner of his sleeve to cover his eyes, then raised the long face in his hand and slashed at Yu Hui.
The sword energy was filled with murderous intent, as if it wanted to kill Yu Hui.
"Brother, haven't you eaten yet?! Come on! Beat Master to death! Let him learn his lesson!"
Tang Qiuyue took some time out of her busy schedule to shout to Tang Beiju, but the next second, her stomach churned and she vomited again.
Tang Qiuyue's shout drew Mo Youli's attention back. Mo Youli was speechless about Tang Qiuyue's current situation.
"Qiuyue, you should just continue to concentrate on your work."
