Mu Family Manor.
Mu An lay lazily on the sofa.
Su Zhirou was beside him, constantly feeding him peeled grapes.
From time to time, she had to fend off the harassment from someone's restless hands.
Her face was slightly flushed, making her quite adorable.
However, Mu An would definitely not admit that this was harassment.
Can what a villain does be called harassment?
This was clearly a reasonable 'exploitation' of the girl, so she wouldn't forget her main duty (to give him gold coins)!
At the same time, Mu An summarized the rewards he had recently obtained and quickly used the [Plot Fragments] he had received.
[Using [Plot Fragment *2]!]
——————
[You have used [Plot Fragment *1]!]
[This is a plot message about the protagonist Bai Zihao!]
[After the kidnapping incident went awry, Bai Zihao, in deep reflection, unexpectedly gained the cooperation of Su Zhirou's father, Su Dazhi!]
[Because Bai Zihao possessed a genuine beauty formula, the two quickly reached a cooperation!]
[At the same time, to get this formula into use as soon as possible, they urgently needed a start-up fund!]
[Based on his memories from before his rebirth, Bai Zihao made a suggestion.]
[Not long after, a disease crisis suddenly broke out in Country M, and a type of medicinal material that could be made into a special medicine was in high demand!]
[The two crazily bought up the medicinal materials at a low price in advance, making a huge profit and preparing enough start-up funds for the beauty formula!]
——————
[You have used [Plot Fragment *1]!]
[This is a plot message about the Dragon King protagonist Long Haotian!]
[After losing face at a charity auction, Long Haotian was furious!]
[He blamed all of this on you and decided to make you pay a heavy price!]
[Tonight, Long Haotian will send the vice-captain of his killer squad, Hong Yi, to take away the items you won at the auction!]
[At the same time, he will investigate the matters related to the Mu family's involvement in the Long family's downfall!]
[Note: Hong Yi is one of the female leads! Her strength level is peak internal energy!]

Interesting!
Bai Zihao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was starting to stir again?
Mu An thought this guy would be quiet for a while after suffering a wound that would take a lifetime to heal.
He didn't expect the other party to come back so soon to deliver him 'rewards'!
One could only say that the protagonist truly lived up to the title!
Like an indestructible cockroach.
Seeing him made one unable to resist wanting to squeeze out all the value he had!
"Hey, Old Jiang, help me secretly acquire the medicinal materials!"
"Then wait for my news before selling them all off!"
Mu An contacted Old Jiang, and soon they agreed on these matters.
But when he asked about the two formulas he had provided earlier.
One was [Optimized Beauty Formula], and the other was [Cure-All Pill Formula].
Old Jiang told him to contact the eldest young lady, Mu Wanrou.
He also said that Mu Wanrou had already started to gradually take over all matters of the Tianmu Group.
From now on, any matters related to the group could be handled by her!
This somewhat surprised Mu An.
His impression of this 'adopted sister' was that she had been known as a prodigy since childhood.
Whatever she set her mind to, she could quickly master it.
And she could do it to an almost perfect degree!
After some thought, Mu An did not contact her immediately.
He hesitated for a moment and actively dialed his mother's phone, wanting to gather some information about the other party from his dear mother first.
"Oh my gosh! My precious son actually took the initiative to call Mommy?"
"Did you encounter some difficulties? Or did you fall for some girl?"
"Don't worry, Mommy will immediately help you propose! Guaranteed 100% success!"
As soon as the call connected, his mother's somewhat excited voice came through.
Mu An felt a bit embarrassed.
Proposing right off the bat?
His mother was too obsessed with finding a daughter-in-law!
After weighing his words, Mu An finally asked a seemingly off-topic question.
"Mom, can I... unconditionally trust my elder sister?"
As soon as he said this, his mother's tone on the other end of the line immediately became serious.
She spoke earnestly on the phone.
"Son, I don't know why you're confused, but I can responsibly tell you."
"In the Mu family, aside from your parents, you can trust no one, and you can even doubt some of the things your parents say!"
"But there is one person you can trust one hundred percent! That is... Mu Wanrou!"
Upon hearing this, Mu An was slightly shocked.
His mother had such a high opinion of Mu Wanrou?
After all, she was technically just an outsider...
"So, my son, do you have anything else to say?"
"Like if you've taken a liking to a girl from a certain family, or if you've taken a liking to a girl from a certain family?!"
"If you like her, then go after her bravely; we will all be your strongest support!"
Faced with his mother's relentless questioning, Mu An hurriedly changed the subject and quickly hung up the phone.
He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
No wonder she was his easygoing mom!
That obsession with wanting him to carry on the family line was truly terrifying!
"Is that your mother? She sounds quite intimidating..."
Su Zhirou had been eavesdropping nearby and suddenly felt a lot of invisible pressure.
She didn't even know what she was worried about.
Perhaps it was the fear of not being able to satisfy the other party?
[Worried that when she meet her in the future, she won't be able to satisfy your mother, the girl's heart is filled with anxiety, unease, and nervous emotional fluctuations +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2555]!]
"Don't worry! My mom is actually quite easy to talk to, um... probably?"
Mu An casually comforted her.
But he himself didn't have much confidence in that comforting statement!
However, he was now certain of one thing: his own Mu Wanrou was indeed worthy of his initial trust.
He could let her handle the matters related to those two formulas.
Even if it failed, it didn't matter; it was just two formulas!
As for whether he could fully trust her, he still felt he needed to study her slowly in the future!
After all, there's a saying that goes well:
"Seeing is believing!"
"Young master, it's getting late; your bathwater is ready!"
Suddenly, the little maid Ning'er sweetly notified him.
Mu An looked out at the night sky and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It seemed he had a guest arranged by the Dragon King coming tonight...?
As the host, he naturally had to make the other party feel what it means to be 'at home'!
So, he was seriously considering how to entertain (explode gold coins) the other party!
For example, the god-level skill that fully controls the five senses, [Special Skill: Mirage]?
Or automatically seeking enemies and knocking them out with a brick?
Or perhaps the [God-Level Seductive Dream Potion*10] that he had always wanted to try but never had the chance to use?
——————
[God-Level Seductive Dream Potion*10]: Colorless and tasteless!
As long as the opposite sex smells this potion, they will instantly have a full 100 points of favorability towards you!
They will feel hot and restless and will actively engage in some indescribable behaviors!
Duration: 3 hours!
——————
Mu An suddenly realized he had too many choices, giving him a bit of choice paralysis.
However, no matter how he chose in the end, regarding this female lead who had actively 'delivered herself to his door'...
The gold coins on her were definitely his!
….
That night.
The deep and dark night made one feel very sleepy.
A nimble and ghostly figure successfully bypassed all security personnel and quietly infiltrated the Mu family estate.
