After finishing everything and regaining his energy, Mo Yu slowly walked out of the cave and headed straight to the family estate.
He returned in a good mood and made his way to the front yard. However, he noticed the three great elders hurriedly passing by him. He paused, a trace of contemplation flashing in his eyes. He had clearly noticed the gloom and anger on their faces.
"If I remember correctly, the Xiao family seems to be in trouble recently," Mo Yu thought, some fragments of information flashing through his mind. He then shook his head and turned around. At that moment, a tall woman in a college uniform rushed out from a side path and stood in front of him, visibly angry.
Seeing the tall, beautiful, and very attractive Xiao Yu in front of him, Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't seen his fiancée for a few months and realized he had missed... those long legs.
Xiao Yu was taken aback by Mo Yu's intense gaze. Her face flushed slightly. She took a step forward and looked at Mo Yu with a hint of doubt. Her tone was a mix of anger and concern as she asked, "Have you had a breakthrough?"
Mo Yu had used the excuse of breaking through a realm to justify his secluded retreat over the past few months. Although his main focus was not on practicing, his strength had naturally increased due to the influence of Xuan Lei and the Tiangang Thunder Body. He nodded calmly in response to Xiao Yu's question.
"Yes, there has indeed been a breakthrough. I'm sorry for not being able to accompany you these past few months," Mo Yu said, feeling a bit touched by Xiao Yu's patience and apologizing sincerely.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's anger deflated like a punctured balloon, and the frustration in her heart dissipated instantly.
She took a step closer, her sexy and slender legs moving gracefully, and gently straightened Mo Yu's slightly wrinkled clothes.
Seeing Xiao Yu, who was usually hot-tempered and willful, doing something so gentle, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned but soon relaxed and enjoyed the moment.
Nearly half a year had passed since the family gathering, and their relationship had become more natural and smooth. Xiao Yu might never have done something like this before, but now she was willing to.
Occasionally, tribespeople passed by the path. Seeing Xiao Yu adjusting Mo Yu's clothes like a devoted wife, they were stunned and then filled with envy.
As the most beautiful, mature, willful, and arrogant woman in the family, Xiao Yu had attracted countless young admirers over the years, particularly due to her attractive legs, which often featured in their dreams.
Now, seeing her so well-behaved was surprising to everyone, making them marvel at Mo Yu's "training" of his fiancée.
Mo Yu's gaze lingered on Xiao Yu's delicate face. A strand of black hair fell over her plump chest, occasionally blown by the breeze and revealing her ample and soft breasts, with her sexy legs swaying in a mesmerizing manner.
As he stared blankly at Xiao Yu, Mo Yu's breathing gradually became more rapid, and a hint of heat appeared in his eyes.
In his previous life, he had many enemies and was disillusioned with love, so he had never considered marriage and paid little attention to romantic matters.
But in this life, he was living more leisurely and indulgently. Now, with the body of a teenager, his desires were even stronger.
"Mo Yu... what are you looking at?" Xiao Yu, having noticed his burning gaze after straightening his clothes, blushed deeply and spoke softly.
"Uh…" Mo Yu's face reddened slightly as he was brought back to reality. Fortunately, he was thicker-skinned than Xiao Yu. After clearing his throat, he said nonchalantly, "Nothing. I just think you're becoming more and more beautiful."
Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Xiao Yu snorted but couldn't hide the pleased smile on her rosy lips.
Standing with her sexy legs crossed, Xiao Yu suddenly said shyly, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to… but… not here."
After saying this, Xiao Yu, who was usually carefree, lowered her pretty face like a bashful wife in her boudoir.
Mo Yu was taken aback by her words but soon realized what she meant. In the Douqi Continent, there were fewer social constraints compared to the Blue Star of his previous life. After engagement, they were essentially considered a real couple, so premarital intimacy was not uncommon.
In the past three months, Xiao Yu had been worried about Mo Yu's seclusion and, driven by her emotions, had made such a statement.
Mo Yu shook his head with a smile, feeling both amused and helpless. He hadn't meant to do anything inappropriate; he wouldn't act irresponsibly before he had the ability to protect himself.
However, touched by Xiao Yu's feelings, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. If possible, I'll hold a grand wedding for you!"
Upon hearing Mo Yu's promise, Xiao Yu blushed deeply and nodded, her response barely audible.
As soon as she spoke, Xiao Yu felt a pang of regret. It was inappropriate for a woman to say such things, and she worried Mo Yu might misunderstand her intentions.
Fortunately, Mo Yu didn't directly agree and wanted to give her a grand wedding instead.
As a woman, what could be more delightful?
Mo Yu, wanting to move past the current topic, asked, "Has something happened to the family recently? Why do the elders look so unhappy?"
"Well, the Jia Lie family recently hired a top-notch alchemist. They now offer a new healing medicine called 'Rejuvenation Powder' in their market. This medicine is inexpensive, highly effective, and very popular among mercenaries near Wutan City," Xiao Yu explained, frowning.
"Because of the 'Rejuvenation Powder,' the foot traffic in all the Xiao family's markets has been reduced by nearly half. As a result, many merchants have fled to the Jia Lie family's markets. In just a few days, the Xiao family has suffered a significant economic blow. Uncle Xiao has been troubled by this issue."
Mo Yu nodded in understanding. No wonder the three elders looked so gloomy.
He stroked his chin, narrowing his eyes slightly as he seemed to have a realization. "It's business competition. I remember that eventually, Xiao Yan personally dealt with the Jia Lie family…"
