If you can't sweep one room, how can you sweep the world?
Xu Mu's current goal was to first resolve his family issues.
It was Friday, the day his sister-in-law, Ye Yu, finished school and returned home.
Of course, it was also the day she would live in the doghouse.
When the Dragon King returns, if his anger were to be ranked by level,
The number one reason would definitely be his sister sleeping in a doghouse.
He had to quickly boost Ye Yu's favorability.
Xu Mu used the God's Eye to check on Mu Qingying.
Name: Mu Qingying
Identity: Teacher at Jiang City First High School, female lead of The Dragon King Descends.
Favorability: -80
Destiny Level: 8 (Max Level 10)
Seeing this favorability, Xu Mu was speechless to death.
This villain character truly had no brain. Could he not tell that the person had absolutely no interest in him?
Crucially, he already had a lawfully married wife at home. Even if he wanted to pursue another woman, he should at least get a divorce first.
"Xu Mu! Stop pretending! I'm telling you, if you dare to do this again, I will call the police and accuse you of harassment!"
Mu Qingying said sharply.
Others might fear him, but Mu Qingying did not.
Although the Mu family was not as powerful as the Xu family, they were still a recognizable name in Jiang City.
If the Xu family dared to attack the Mu family, they would also suffer significant losses.
A line of black text appeared above Mu Qingying's head.
[Favorability -4]
Xu Mu first checked his Righteousness Points, found they hadn't decreased, and felt relieved.
He ignored Mu Qingying because he had already spotted his target.
He quickly walked towards the passenger seat, opened the door, hugged the flowers from the car, and walked towards the school gate.
There was a slender, attractive girl in a school uniform there.
She had shoulder-length hair, a tall figure, and skin as fine as solidified cream.
She was laughing with her female classmate, and her cute dimples appeared on her face.
According to the plot, this Ye Yu was not simple.
She was more scheming than her sister and would even help the protagonist kill people in the future.
This could be seen from the fact that she lived in a doghouse at home but acted completely normal at school.
"Ye Yu, school's out?"
Xu Mu called out from a distance.
Ye Yu, who was still laughing, saw the person appear, and her smile instantly froze.
In its place was boundless fear.
This man actually called her name publicly at school. Was he going to humiliate her in front of everyone?
Thinking of this, a mist appeared in Ye Yu's eyes, and she nearly burst into tears.
She had fantasized more than once about a man descending from the heavens to kill Xu Mu.
But fantasy was just fantasy. As the young master of Jiang City's number one corporation, who would dare to lay a hand on Xu Mu?
[Favorability -7]
"Holy cow!"
Xu Mu cursed inwardly, looking at the black text above Ye Yu's head.
How much did Ye Yu hate this villain character of his? Just calling her name reduced the favorability this much.
He used the God's Eye to check Ye Yu's information.
Name: Ye Yu
Identity: Student, female lead of The Dragon King Descends.
Favorability: -160
Destiny Level: 9 (Max Level 10)
Xu Mu couldn't even imagine how much this Ye Yu hated him.
Mu Qingying over there hated him enough with only -80 points, and Ye Yu's was exactly double hers.
"Bro... brother-in-law."
Ye Yu's fair hands were clenched tightly, and her body was trembling.
If it weren't for her sister, she wouldn't be willing to go home on weekends and see this disgusting man.
School was her safe haven. She hadn't expected this person to follow her here just to insult her.
Why won't Xu Mu just die!
"Here, I came to pick you up and take you home."
Xu Mu handed the flowers to Ye Yu, smiling at her.
Ye Yu felt disgust inside, but she dared not refuse to take them.
If she didn't follow Xu Mu's intentions, he might just slap her across the face.
"Tha... thank you, brother-in-law."
Ye Yu held the flowers.

"Wow! Xiao Yu, how come I've never heard that you have such a handsome brother-in-law?"
Next to Ye Yu was an average-looking, long-haired woman.
She was clinging to Ye Yu's arm, her expression utterly infatuated.
Xu Mu also sighed, his appearance hadn't changed; he was still the way he was before.
185 cm tall, with a refined-looking face, he was indeed handsome.
But he had never seen any woman look at him with such an infatuated expression before.
Perhaps it was because he was now wearing a Zegna suit worth over 50,000 and a Rolex worth over 100,000.
The "tall and handsome" part of being a tall, rich, and handsome man only added to the appeal and could not be the fundamental factor.
Being merely tall and handsome couldn't afford a bride price of several hundred thousand, plus a multi-million-level house.
"My... my sister just got married not long ago."
As Ye Yu spoke, she looked at Mu Qingying in the distance, already knowing the probable reason.
Xu Mu must have tried to give the flowers to Mu Qingying, and when she refused, he gave the flowers to her to save face.
"Let's go, let's go home."
Xu Mu said to Ye Yu.
"Okay..."
Ye Yu nodded gently, then forced a smile at her female classmate, "I'm going back now."
"See you Monday!"
The woman waved with a beaming smile.
Xu Mu proactively opened the passenger door of the sports car, and Ye Yu cautiously sat in.
She was terrified of dirtying anything, which might give Xu Mu a reason to beat her up again.
Xu Mu quickly ran to the driver's seat, not even glancing at Mu Qingying standing nearby.
Close the door, start the engine, and launch—all in one smooth motion.
Leaving a bewildered Mu Qingying disheveled in the wind.
...
Xu Mu listened to the sports car's roar, marveling at the System's magic.
He had never dared to even step into a Lamborghini dealership, let alone buy one.
But with the System's enhancement, he drove it very smoothly, as if it were an old car he had driven for years.
Ye Yu held the flowers and sat silently beside him the entire time.
She didn't know what Xu Mu was planning.
Perhaps Mu Qingying's rejection had made him resentful.
She feared that when they got home, he would start looking for excuses to beat her and her sister again.
[Favorability -5]
Xu Mu looked at the black text popping up over Ye Yu's head, full of exasperation. He hadn't even said anything.
...
The East District of Jiang City was the wealthy area.
The streets here were patrolled by security guards, even in the middle of the night.
Xu Mu currently lived in the Jiangshang Villa District in the East District.
Originally, he lived in the manor, which meant living with his family.
But since he was married, Xu Shou had him move out and bought a villa here.
Xu Mu drove the car into the villa's underground garage. Besides the Lamborghini, there were two other cars:
A Porsche 911 and a Cadillac Escalade.
After getting out of the car, Xu Mu extended his hand to Ye Yu, "These flowers aren't for you."
Ye Yu hurriedly returned the flowers to Xu Mu. Of course, she knew they weren't for her.
They were for Mu Qingying.
"These are for your sister," Xu Mu said calmly.
"Huh?"
Ye Yu thought she had misheard. For her sister?
Xu Mu and Ye Yu walked out of the garage together and into the villa's courtyard.
On the lawn to the side was a doghouse.
To say it was a doghouse wasn't entirely inaccurate. The structure was made of double-layered wood.
The area was decent, with not only a single bed but also a small table.
In cities like Yanjing and Hudu, such a space would cost at least two thousand a month to rent.
Making Ye Yu live here was more about the meaning of the insult.
Ye Yu, as usual, walked expressionlessly towards her doghouse.
Xu Mu had previously said she wasn't allowed into the villa's living room, which also had security cameras.
Before, her sister had secretly brought her in to eat. When Xu Mu found out, he beat her sister.
After that, when Xu Mu wasn't home, her sister would cook and come to the doghouse to eat with her.
Pat!
Xu Mu's hand gently rested on Ye Yu's shoulder. "Let's go! Come back inside with me."
Ye Yu's body froze.
