Morning.
Jiang Xun woke up.
From that large bed, perfect for a party.
Every pore in his body exuded comfort.
He walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs.
In the dining room, Mu Qingxue was already sitting upright.
She wore an elegant off-white homewear dress, her long hair was smooth, and her makeup was exquisite.
But beneath her beautiful eyes, there was a hint of fatigue that makeup couldn't conceal, and a near-fanatical excitement.
Seeing Jiang Xun, she immediately stood up and presented the tablet in front of her with both hands, as if offering an imperial decree.
"Sir."
Her voice carried a subtle tremor.
"Regarding that bottle of stamina recovery agent, I..."
She took a deep breath, as if summoning immense courage.
"I had Tianqi Biology's top laboratory conduct an analysis overnight."
Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and gestured for her to continue.
"The result..."
A hint of shock flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes.
"The result is, we cannot analyze it."
"Even with the highest precision mass spectrometer, we couldn't decipher any of its components."
"It's like... it's like a creation that doesn't belong to this world."
Jiang Xun smiled inwardly.
[Nonsense. If you could analyze something produced by the system, that would be truly unbelievable.]
Mu Qingxue bit her lower lip, like a child confessing a mistake.
"Then... I took the liberty of diluting one drop of the agent with pure water a hundredfold."
"And conducted the highest-grade in-vivo experiments."
"From white mice to... voluntarily participating researchers."
As she spoke, the excitement in her voice could no longer be suppressed.
"Sir! There are no side effects whatsoever!"
"The effect... the effect is terrifyingly good!"
"It can restore over eighty percent of the energy and stamina of a researcher who has worked continuously for seventy-two hours and is near exhaustion, within thirty minutes!"
"This is no longer a health supplement; this is... a miracle drug!"
She paused, her tone becoming complex again.
"However... the news somehow leaked."
"Now, throughout Jinling City, those wealthy individuals, especially those with elderly husbands, have nearly blown up my private phone."
"They are offering ten million for just... one drop of the diluted solution."
Jiang Xun picked up his milk and slowly took a sip.
[Well, well, the business opportunity just presented itself?]
He looked at Mu Qingxue's face, which was clearly asking for instructions, and his mischievous side emerged.
"Ten million for one drop?"
"Then aren't you going to get rich?"
Mu Qingxue immediately shook her head, her attitude firm.
"No! Sir, this is yours! Without your permission, I would never dare to act on my own!"
"I just... I just wanted to report the immense potential of this project to you."
Jiang Xun smiled.
That smile made Mu Qingxue's heart skip a beat.
"I remember, you're not the only voice in Tianqi Group, are you?"
Mu Qingxue's face paled slightly, and she lowered her head.
"Yes... in the board of directors, there are still a few elders who followed my mother to build the empire. They..."
"Very good."
Jiang Xun interrupted her.
He gently tapped the table with his finger, making a 'thump, thump' sound.
"This miracle drug is mine."
"But how to use it, I leave to you."
He leaned slightly forward, looking into Mu Qingxue's eyes, enunciating each word.
"Use it to exchange for what they hold."
"Shares, power, and... their loyalty."
Mu Qingxue suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with complete shock and understanding.
The corner of Jiang Xun's mouth curved into a lazy yet cruel arc.
"What I want is not a wife who can make money."
"But a... queen who can wield power for me and absolutely control everything."
"Do you understand?"
Boom—
Mu Qingxue's mind went blank, then was engulfed by immense ecstasy and tremor.
He wasn't bestowing charity; he was... authorizing!
He was going to put her on the true throne!
"I understand!"
She nodded heavily, an unprecedented fire igniting in her eyes.
"Sir! I will never let you down!"
Jiang Xun leaned back in his chair contentedly and waved his hand.
"Go prepare breakfast, Your Majesty."
He watched Mu Qingxue's retreating figure as she walked into the kitchen with a spirited fighting intent, feeling pleased.
That's more like it.
What he wanted was not a group of pets who only competed for favor in bed.
But a group of sharp claws and fangs that could expand his territory and guard his domain.
In a great mood, Jiang Xun strolled towards the living room.
Then, he paused.
Leaning lazily against the railing, he looked down.
In the center of the living room, on the expensive Persian carpet.
A fiery red figure.
Like a flame about to ignite, silently burning in an extremely contorted posture.
It was Su Qingyu.
She supported herself with her arms, stood on her hands, one leg straight towards the ceiling, taut into a sharp line.
The other leg, however, bent backward at an incredible angle, her toes almost touching the back of her head.
The bright red, high-strength supportive yoga outfit, slightly transparent with sweat, tightly and unreservedly outlined every breathtaking curve.
From her perky, full buttocks, to her flexible, slender waist, and then to her back, trembling slightly from exertion.
Every muscle was working, every inch of skin spoke of the exuberance of life.
A few strands of black hair, dampened with sweat, clung to her flushed cheeks, adding a touch of wild charm.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"Hmph, that blockhead Mu Qingxue only knows how to do those refined things."
"Men, they prefer us hot ones! Super exciting!"
However, her beautiful phoenix eyes had heavy dark circles.
It was clear she hadn't slept well all night.
At this moment, she was relying entirely on an unyielding willpower to push through.
[Well, well, is this the 'King of Competition' contest going into overtime?]
Jiang Xun mused inwardly.
He leisurely folded his arms and leaned against the railing.
As if in a top-floor box at a theater, enjoying a strenuous yet clumsy one-woman show performed just for him.
She seemed to sense his undisguised, scrutinizing gaze.
Su Qingyu's body on the carpet suddenly stiffened.
Then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she instantly lost her rhythm.
"Oh my goodness!"
She exclaimed, losing her balance.
She fell limply onto the carpet, splayed out in a very undignified 'big' shape.
"Xun... Brother Xun! When did you wake up?"
Su Qingyu scrambled to get up, her cheeks as red as ripe tomatoes.
While haphazardly tidying her already wrinkled yoga outfit, she forced an explanation.
"Uh, that, I... I was just doing morning exercises! Yes, morning exercises!"
"Life is about movement, you know! Look at my body, it's super strong!"
She even patted her perky buttocks, an act of overcompensation.
A crisp "smack" sound.
Made her own face even redder.
Jiang Xun almost burst out laughing.
This woman's little schemes were as obvious as her fiery red outfit, clearly written all over her, as if afraid others wouldn't notice.
Just then, Mu Qingxue came out carrying a tray.
She perfectly ignored the awkward and comical scene in the living room and walked directly to the dining table.
Arranging the lavish breakfast item by item.
"The milk is 42 degrees, the whole wheat bread was toasted for 90 seconds, to your preferred slightly crispy texture."
Jiang Xun slowly walked downstairs and sat at the dining table.
Su Qingyu shamelessly followed, plopping down opposite him.
She picked up a slice of bread and stuffed it into her mouth, as if trying to use food to stifle her embarrassment.
Mu Qingxue handed a tablet to Jiang Xun.
The screen showed a beautifully crafted PPT.
"Sir, this is your planned schedule of optional courses for today."
Jiang Xun glanced at it.
"Building and Inheriting a Financial Empire," "Introduction to Classical Music Appreciation," "Essentials of Golf Skills."
They all looked incredibly sophisticated.
He wasn't interested in these now, so he casually asked,
"What are the most popular elective courses at the university right now?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxue immediately switched the tablet to another interface, her fingers sliding rapidly.
She brought up a data report.
"Sir, according to the latest course selection data from Jinling University's 'Female Comprehensive Quality Improvement Center,' the two most popular elective courses with the highest enrollment this semester are 'Royal Equestrianism' and 'Advanced Pelvic Health and Maintenance,' respectively."
"Pfft—"
Su Qingyu, across from him, directly spat out a mouthful of milk.
She choked, coughing dramatically.
"Cough, cough, cough! What the hell? Pelvic... pelvic maintenance?"
