Wenren Qingyi

By now, Mu Zibai no longer avoided such matters. He did everything together with Xiao E, and Xiao E silently consented, completely acknowledging Mu Zibai's presence in her heart.

Even if Mu Zibai slept on the bed now, Xiao E probably would not say much.

And every time he washed Wenren Lingmeng and loosened her muscles and joints, it was undoubtedly Wenren Lingmeng's most agonizing moment. In her heart, she cursed Xiao E tens of millions of times.

That damned girl—how could she simply let Mu Zibai have his way? It made Wenren Lingmeng want nothing more than to crawl into a hole in the ground.

After all, deep down, Wenren Lingmeng was still an unmarried young lady. She did not even know what Mu Zibai looked like.

But she knew of Mu Zibai's kindness. After so many days, she had grown accustomed to his care, and gradually acknowledged Mu Zibai's identity as her husband in her heart.

If not for that, the first thing Wenren Lingmeng would have thought of was how to take her own life.

But there was another troublesome matter now. If she woke up one day, how was she supposed to face him? She even felt that this was actually quite nice.

Whenever this happened, Wenren Lingmeng's thoughts were at their most tangled, and her ideas gradually became stranger and stranger.

Xiao E changed Wenren Lingmeng into a new set of clothes. Mu Xue, her mother, had delivered them just yesterday and had stayed by Wenren Lingmeng's side, talking to her for a long while.

She spoke of amusing things that had happened over the past few days, causing Mu Zibai to miss out on earning points for nearly an hour. The memory was deeply etched in his mind.

With her mother's company, Wenren Lingmeng's fragile heart recovered considerably. It was also because of that Dream of the Red Chamber—it had left her sad for a long time. She even had the urge to never listen to Mu Zibai tell stories again.

Mu Zibai carried Wenren Lingmeng outside, placed her on a chair, and covered her with a quilt.

After staying in the room for so long, she needed to breathe some fresh air outside. Otherwise, it would not be good for her health.

He massaged Wenren Lingmeng's shoulders.

[Ding! Points +26]

Now, a single touch already earned him twenty-six points. The further he went, the slower the increase became. That was only normal.

[Points: 186574]

[Items: Shen Nong's Herbal Compendium, Mystic Armor Pill, Complete Dream of the Red Chamber Set, Energy-Boosting Coffee (Seven Packs), Turtle Breath Pearl, Immortal Bird Breeding Compendium, First-grade Blast Talisman, Qi Replenishing Pill]

Although the First-grade Blast Talisman was only a first-grade talisman, its power was immense. If someone took the full force of an Explosion Talisman, it would be enough to kill someone in the Mystic Armor Realm. Even a Tiger Martial Realm cultivator would be injured.

The Qi Replenishing Pill could replenish the Qi within one's body and restore one's condition.

There were also various odds and ends. What Mu Zibai bought most often at present were items that improved his physique. Whenever he encountered any pills, he bought them without hesitation.

This was also why Mu Zibai was so confident that he could break through.

Though Mu Zibai sat here all day long, his body had actually already acquired the rudimentary aptitude of the Mystic Armor Realm. He had long surpassed what ordinary people could compare to.

[Product One: Tiger Martial Realm Expert Combat Experience. Price: 50,000 Points]

[Product Two: Ten-Complete Great Tonic Soup Ingredient Recipe. Price: 14,000 Points]

[Product Three: Qi and Blood Pill. Price: 2,000 Points]

[Product Four: A Set of Profound Heaven Wood Furniture. Price: 100,000 Points]

[Product Five: A Saber Used by Tiger Martial Realm Cultivators. Price: 20,000 Points]

Among today's refreshed products, the Tiger Martial Realm Expert Combat Experience caught Mu Zibai's attention. Could experience really be given away like this?

Mu Zibai's strength was no longer what it had once been, but what he lacked was actual combat experience. He had never truly fought anyone.

If he could obtain the combat experience of a Tiger Martial Realm expert, it would be a fine choice.

Though he was currently keeping a low profile in Wenren Manor, who could guarantee that no accident would happen? What if he ran into one? So, he decided to take it.

The moment he bought it, countless techniques flooded into Mu Zibai's mind—the use of Qi, memories related to battle, and how to exert force. All of it was good stuff to Mu Zibai.

"This fifty thousand points was well spent."

After reviewing the combat experience, Mu Zibai felt the fifty thousand points had been worth it. With this experience, there would be few opponents beneath the Tiger Martial Realm who could match him.

Not only that, the experience mentioned the circulation of Qi, resolving many of Mu Zibai's doubts.

The Ten-Complete Great Tonic Soup Ingredient Recipe was a recipe for body-tempering medicinal ingredients. Its nourishment was comprehensive in every respect, just as its name suggested—ten-complete and greatly tonic.

With this ingredient recipe, Mu Zibai could cultivate within the Mystic Armor Realm like a fish in water.

Moreover, this was a recipe. Once he had it, he could gather the medicine himself and would not need to wait for the shop to refresh pills that enhanced his physique. He decisively bought it as well.

He bought the Qi and Blood Pill too. It was used to replenish qi and blood. If he fought someone, he could take it together with a Qi Replenishing Pill for excellent results.

In the blink of an eye, another sixty-six thousand points had been spent. Points came slowly, yet went quickly.

"Son-in-law, have some fruit. It was just bought and is fresh." Xiao E brought over a plate of fruit and placed it on the table.

"Mm." Mu Zibai peeled an orange and ate two segments.

He took out a recipe, handed it to Xiao E, and asked, "Can you obtain the medicinal ingredients listed here?"

Xiao E accepted it, took a look, and said, "These ingredients are not hard to obtain, but why does son-in-law need them? They are all highly nourishing ingredients. If they are mixed together, won't there be a problem?"

Though the medicinal ingredients listed were not particularly expensive, they were all tonics. Mu Zibai might truly need some nourishment these days, but there was no need to nourish himself this much.

Too much supplementation would harm the body.

Mu Zibai said, "I know. Don't worry, there won't be a problem."

"All right then. How many sets of ingredients does son-in-law need?" Xiao E asked.

"Get five sets first for me to have a look."

"Alright."

Xiao E nodded and went out to handle the medicinal ingredients.

Not long after Xiao E left, a woman entered. She wore a purple dress and walked quickly, seeming quite anxious. There was also some anger on her face.

Mu Zibai stared at her, thinking, She should be one of the manor's young ladies, right? Dressed so extravagantly, she looks like she came looking for trouble.

He carefully searched his memories but had never seen this person before. Mu Zibai did not know much about the people of Wenren Manor, but he suddenly recalled Xiao E's warning from two days ago.

This should be that Third Young Lady, Wenren Qingyi, right?

Wenren Qingyi walked up to Mu Zibai, planted her hands on her hips, and glared at him with an arrogant, overbearing air.

"You're Mu Zibai?"

"I am."

Mu Zibai frowned and looked her over. Sure enough, she was just as Xiao E had described. But Mu Zibai was not the least bit afraid; his gaze and bearing both carried an indifferent air.

"You're the thief who bullied my sister!" Wenren Qingyi shouted. The sight of Mu Zibai holding Wenren Lingmeng made her especially furious.

She nearly stepped forward and shoved Mu Zibai away on the spot.

Wenren Lingmeng was anxious too, but she could not do anything. Wenren Qingyi had always been spoiled by them. If no one stopped her, she might really attack Mu Zibai.

That girl had learned some flashy moves. Zibai might not be her match. Wenren Lingmeng could only pray that someone would come and stop her.

But Xiao E had just happened to leave. What was she supposed to do now?
