"Ah?" Mu Shuwen stared at Dong Qin as if he hadn't heard clearly.
Dong Qin smiled generously and said, "After all, Xiaofeng is still a child. Faced with such a big matter, I'm afraid he might not handle it well. Let's sell the house to pay off his debts. We can earn money slowly."
"I... I..." Mu Shuwen's eyes turned red as he spoke. His voice trembled as he said, "Qin, what good deeds did I do in my previous life to have met you? Thank you, Qin. I thank you on behalf of Xiaofeng."
"Why are you talking like this when we're family?" Dong Qin chuckled. "Hurry up and cook. I'm starving."
"Okay, okay." Mu Shuwen nodded heavily, his mood suddenly brightening.
"By the way, I know a decent real estate agent. If you agree, we can bring our documents to him tomorrow and quickly sell the house."
"Deal!" Mu Shuwen smiled happily.
Mu Feng, sitting in the living room, overheard their conversation clearly. His rebirth this time had caused events that were supposed to happen in half a month to occur earlier.
The result was almost predictable. The money from the house sale went into Dong Qin's account, and shortly after, Dong Qin vanished without a trace, pushing father and son into the depths of despair.
This woman had met Mu's father two years ago at the street food stalls near Haiwang University. After inquiring from various sources, she learned that Mu's father lived alone with two children and owned a house worth millions, which sparked her malicious intentions.
Dong Qin had been married twice and had another son who was addicted to gambling and had no proper occupation. Her desire for money was stronger than anyone else's.
After dinner, Mu Feng sat alone in his room and started cultivating the Divine Dragon Purgatory Technique. His immediate priority was to quickly open his Purple Mansion. Only then could he mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become a cultivator again.
"No, the spiritual energy on Earth is too thin. I must find some spiritual energy medium. Otherwise, even if I practice for a hundred years, I won't be able to enter the Purple Mansion realm."
"It looks like I'll have to rely on those wealthy people for help."
Early the next morning, Dong Qin and Mu Shuwen left the house, while Mu Feng wandered alone in the neighborhood. Every blade of grass and tree gave him a peculiar feeling.
Unknowingly, Mu Feng arrived at the entrance of the community. Two middle-aged women at the entrance immediately showed mocking expressions when they saw him. They whispered and pointed, clearly discussing Mu Feng.
Mu Feng had already witnessed their despicable nature in his previous life. These people never cared about the reasons or the process. The happiest thing for them was to see their neighbors in worse situations than themselves.
"He's definitely going to be dumped."
"This kid doesn't know his place."
"He thought he was so impressive for getting into Haiwang University, but he's not as good as my son. At least my son is his own boss now."
"If I were in such a situation, I'd gouge my own eyes out."
Listening to their whispers, Mu Feng understood why they were discussing him.
Not far away, a girl in a light-colored checkered skirt stood there. She was about 1.65 meters tall, and her slender and graceful figure wasn't concealed by her clothes. Each time she inadvertently lifted her arm, her creamy white skin exuded a feminine charm, bewitching people's hearts.
Next to the girl was a brand-new Audi A4 sedan.
The girl seemed hesitant, sometimes looking at her watch and scanning the surroundings, as if she was struggling with something.
At that moment, the girl also noticed Mu Feng.
Xiao Ya, Mu Feng's university girlfriend of three years. Although they attended different schools, Mu Feng's feelings for her were genuine and sincere, as clear as the sun and the moon.
In Mu Feng's heart, Xiao Ya was nearly perfect.
After countless years, Mu Feng had seen countless women, even the number one beauty in the immortal world, Lin Nishang, couldn't compare to one percent of Xiao Ya's beauty in Mu Feng's eyes.
Xiao Ya looked straight at Mu Feng and said, "I heard you got into trouble."
"It's nothing. It's been taken care of," Mu Feng replied affectionately, gazing at Xiao Ya. If anyone from the immortal world saw this, they would surely be astonished. The usually cold and ruthless Green Emperor actually showed a side of genuine affection?
"My mom wants to meet you," Xiao Ya mustered up her courage and said.
"When?""Now. My mom has already reserved a table at the Marriott Hotel," Xiao Ya said, her clear eyes staring at Mu Feng. She added with a tinge of guilt, "You can choose not to go. I won't blame you."
"Why wouldn't I go?" Mu Feng smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Sighing inwardly, Xiao Ya opened the car door and said, "Then let's get in."
The journey was silent. Mu Feng could tell that Xiao Ya clearly had something on her mind. He could vaguely guess that, with the debt of over three million hanging over him, any parents probably wouldn't agree to let them be together.
Before long, they arrived at the Marriott Hotel.
The Marriott Hotel was the most prestigious five-star hotel in the Tianwu District of Haiwang City. Only the wealthy and influential could enter here.
"I'm sorry, sir, your attire doesn't meet the requirements of our hotel," two waitstaff stopped Mu Feng at the entrance. They seemed polite, but their contemptuous glances couldn't be hidden.
In a private room on the second floor, an extravagantly dressed lady observed the scene before her. A cold smile crept upon her lips. She sneered, "Hmph, the son of a construction worker thinks he can soar to the branches and become a phoenix? How ridiculous! Let me give you a lesson first and make you understand the difference in status."
"Since when does your hotel have a dress code?" The whispered comments from the surrounding people made Xiao Ya blush.
"Sorry, it was just a recent requirement," a waiter replied with a trademark smile.
"Xiao Ya, what's going on?" At that moment, an elegantly dressed woman walked out slowly. Mu Feng recognized her as Xiao Ya's mother, Chen Bufang.
Chen Bufang looked at Mu Feng with disdainful eyes and sneered, "Oh, I see. So it was you who came."
With an indifferent tone, Chen Bufang said to
Mu Feng, "Oh, I see. So it was you who came."
The luxurious lady's attitude towards Mu Feng was extremely cold. As they entered the hotel lobby, she stopped and turned around, saying, "I'm hosting an event here today, and with your status and position, you are not qualified to join. I called you here today for a simple reason."
From her pocket, Chen Bufang took out a wad of cash and sneered, "Here's thirty thousand yuan for you. Disappear from my sight immediately, and I never want to see you again."
Facing Chen Bufang's repeated humiliation, Mu Feng maintained his composure. His gaze turned to Xiao Ya as he calmly said, "Xiao Ya, you've witnessed everything that has happened to me and the humiliations I've endured. I can brush it off with a smile, but I just want to know your decision."
"It seems you're not giving up," Chen Bufang scoffed. "Do you still think you're the top scorer in Haiwang City's college entrance examination? I thought you would at least become a civil servant after four years of university. I never expected you to become a worthless person drowning in debt. Do you think you deserve Xiao Ya? It's self-inflicted humiliation."
Mu Feng calmly responded to Chen Bufang's repeated humiliations. As the Immortal Emperor, would he stoop to the level of a woman who hadn't seen the world?
"We are indeed incompatible."
"Let's break up."
After a long silence, Xiao Ya gave her answer.
