Chapter 437: Salary and Going Home

[You gave Yan Qingwu a pile of extremely valuable gifts, and she was deeply moved. After the Yan family was wiped out, she had no relatives left, but now there’s someone in this world she cares about, and that’s you! The girl is full of affection, emotional fluctuation +99. Congratulations, you’ve received the rewards: [Perfect Youth Preservation Pill *5], [Proficiency +9999], [Lifespan +1 year]!]

Mu An was a bit taken aback.

Obviously, he hadn’t expected that just giving Yan Qingwu a single [Perfect Youth Preservation Pill] and a few dozen shadow guards of various realms would cause such a strong emotional reaction in her.

It even doubled back into a multiplied reward of [Perfect Youth Preservation Pill]!

Maybe it also had something to do with how, ever since she was little, she’d lacked love, lacked anyone who truly cared about her.

“Aren’t these gifts a bit too valuable…? Maybe you should take them back!”

After all, reversing aging is something countless people dream of, especially for women who are a bit older, such temptation is incredibly strong.

But after hesitating for a moment, Yan Qingwu still forced herself to resist and pushed the pill back.

Mu An, however, acted extremely domineering.

He raised an eyebrow, pinched the woman’s chin, and forced her to meet his gaze.

“Hmph, woman, don’t be ungrateful! There’s no way I’m taking back what I gave my woman.”

“Since you know they’re valuable, then remember this, stay by my side and work for me obediently for the rest of your life!”

“Of course, you can also think of them as part of the salary I’m paying you in advance.”

The [Perfect Youth Preservation Pill] and those shadow guards might be huge gifts to ordinary people.

But to Mu An, they were just small presents, nothing special.

It’s like how ordinary people think a house worth millions is extremely expensive, maybe even the result of a lifetime’s savings.

But to someone truly rich, a few million might just be the price of one dinner, nowhere near as precious as ordinary people imagine.

Of course, no matter the situation, from Yan Qingwu’s perspective, these were the most precious gifts she had ever received in her life!

“Salary paid in advance… huh?”

The girl murmured to herself.

Though it was called salary, someone as smart as her knew it was just a way for the man to make her accept it without guilt.

“I can accept this pill, but those… Shadow Guards, aren’t there too many…?”

Yan Qingwu hesitated before awkwardly saying the words “shadow guards.”

After the man’s explanation, she understood these beings were like puppets they were genderless, overwhelmingly strong, able to hide in the dark, appearing and vanishing like ghosts.

They could be the world’s top assassins the world’s best bodyguards!

Although she knew Mu An meant well, giving her so many “bodyguards” at once made her worry, would he himself be safe without them?

That was what Yan Qingwu truly worried about.

Mu An seemed to see through what she was holding back and said bluntly, “Don’t worry about my safety.”

“Remember, your man is the strongest existence in the world! No one else compares!”

As he spoke, he even lifted his chin with a trace of pride.

And he wasn’t exaggerating.

After all, there were very few cultivators at the peak of the Celestial Realm.

And with his ever-accumulating cultivation years, even if spending them still wouldn’t push him into the next realm, his actual combat power would undeniably growing stronger and stronger.

In that sense, Mu An was in a league of his own, invincible under heaven!

Plus, his newly unlocked supernatural power system would further boost his strength…

“Aren’t you going to take over the Cao family? These guys can help you out.”

“To put it bluntly, with them, your path will be smooth and unstoppable. Anyone who tries to block you will quietly become a corpse.”

“And the sooner you take control of the Cao family, the more it benefits me too. You don’t need to refuse, and you can’t refuse.”

Faced with the man’s ‘patient persuasion’ Yan Qingwu finally stopped being coy and accepted all the gifts decisively.

When her feelings surged, she threw her arms around Mu An’s neck, ready to offer her boundless passion once again.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered like autumn water, her face seductive, her moist peony-red lips slightly parted, plump and irresistibly tempting.

That special mature-sister voice grew soft and tingling, like a little lustful cat scratching at the bottom of a man’s heart.

The expensive off-shoulder gown had long since disappeared, revealing her tender, fair skin, and… and…

Mu An naturally wanted to bring up the stick and properly enforce the family rules.

But he checked the time, gritted his teeth, took only a light taste, and then ‘fled in defeat.’

As he left, a woman’s soft giggle rang out from the room—half teasing, half enticing.

[From Yan Qingwu’s joy and happiness, emotional fluctuation +30. Congratulations, you obtained [Fortune +30]!]

Mu An didn’t dare look back, only cursing the other party as a ‘temptress’ in his heart. He was afraid that if he turned around, he’d completely sink into this gentle trap tonight and never wake up. Under the night sky.

Under the night sky, ignoring the bodyguards still unconscious on the ground, the man calmly drove away from the Cao family.

No one knew that on this seemingly ordinary day, the Cao family, which operated in both the underworld and legitimate circles, had already changed hands.

As for the follow-up matters like Xiao Bai’s ‘breaking in under the pretense of medical treatment and committing murder,’ he trusted that Yan Qingwu, this clever woman, could handle it herself.

…..

Sunshine Residential Complex.

9:15 PM.

Under the warm-toned chandelier in the living room, Chu Youmeng sat quietly at the dining table, resting her chin in her hands, lost in thought.

Occasionally, a silly smile would appear at the corners of her lips, as if she had just thought of something amusing.

In front of her were several plates of exquisite dishes still steaming hot.

Knock knock—

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

The girl’s eyes lit up like a little white rabbit hearing a secret.

She perked up her ears instantly and hurried toward the door, so anxious that she accidentally dropped one of her pink bunny slippers.

She didn’t care about the small mishap. After peeking through the peephole, she gently pushed open the front door.

“Sorry, Youmeng, I’m late!”

Outside, the man’s expression was tinged with apology.

But the girl shook her head and gave a sweet smile, like a pure and elegant gardenia.

Just one look was enough to make anyone fall for her.

“It’s okay, and… welcome home!”

At these words, Mu An’s nose inexplicably stung.

Though it was such an ordinary phrase, it deeply touched his heart.

Unable to hold back the surge of emotions inside, he strode forward and pulled this precious girl tightly into his arms.

Tightly, unwilling to let go, never wanting to let go for the rest of his life!

The man whispered softly in the girl’s ear, as if speaking to himself and to her at the same time.

“I… am home!”

Chu Youmeng froze for a moment, then she wrapped her arms around the boy she loved most, hugging him just as tightly.

Silently, without a word.

At that moment, the two hearts seemed to press together as one, never to separate.

Forever… never to be parted!
