Xu Mu entered a state of deep concentration, refining pills as if nothing else was on his mind. Several hours later, he emerged from his concentration.
This time, they acquired quite a few pills again.
Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't given the fire dates he had refined to Song Nuanyang yet.
So I sent her a message.
Not long after, Song Nuanyang called him to say that she had arrived at the door.
Xu Mu opened the door and looked at Song Nuanyang in surprise.
Song Nuanyang hurriedly covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her hands and whispered, "Am I ugly?"
Instead of whitening her face as she used to, she showed off her natural tan skin.
With her straight black hair and long eyelashes, she exudes a unique kind of sexiness.
This skin tone definitely depends on looks.
"Excessive modesty is arrogance. How can someone so beautiful be ugly?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
[Favorability +15]
Song Nuanyang's face remained calm, but inside she was overjoyed.
This was the first time in her life that someone had complimented her because of her skin color.
"Here, this is the pill I made for you. In addition to fire dates, I also added blood yam to enhance its efficacy."
Xu Mu took out a red pill, "After you take this, you will most likely be able to enter the Transcendent Realm."
[Favorability +20]
Song Nuanyang looked at the pill in her hand, her face full of gratitude.
If I can really reach the Transcendent Realm, then I will owe Xu Mu a huge favor.
"I can't thank you enough, I'll head back now."
Song Nuanyang put away the pills and bid farewell to Xu Mu.
After seeing Song Nuanyang off, Xu Mu went back inside and checked the time; Ye Tong should be off work by now.
Just then, Xu Mu's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Fu Jinyu calling.
"Empress, what's wrong?"
Xu Mu answered the phone and walked towards the living room.
"I want to thank you this time, my darling. I have some good news to tell you. I've broken through the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, which I've been stuck at for several years."
Fu Jinyu tried to keep his tone calm, but his voice still trembled slightly.
"Congratulations."
Xu Mu was genuinely happy, as Fu Jinyu had once been through death with him.
She entered the late stage of transcendence, which greatly benefited her.
"Just a congratulatory message?"
Fu Jinyu asked coldly from the other end.
"Holy crap? You used the rare and precious herbs I gave you to advance your level, you don't expect me to throw you a feast, do you?"
Xu Mu was speechless.
"Sorry, you're right. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"Please buy me a cup of milk tea, with the milk and tea served separately. After I finish the milk, I'd like to have your cup filled with tea."
Xu Mu smiled at his phone.
"Okay, that's no big deal."
Fu Jinyu hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Xu Mu tossed his phone onto the sofa. He had just stretched when his phone rang again.
I took it out and looked at it, and found that it was still Fu Jinyu.
"Hey, Empress!"
"Damn it! You just wait!"
After Fu Jinyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh. This Empress was still too naive. Even after being taught by him for so long, she was still a step behind.
...
Not long after, Ye Tong and Ye Yu returned together.
"Brother-in-law!"
When Ye Yu saw that Xu Mu was waiting at home, she immediately rushed over with a smile.
[Favorability +10]
Xu Mu spun Ye Yu around in his arms, then tossed her onto the sofa.
He approached Ye Tong and smiled, "You're back? It's a bit late today."
