Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Chen Mo opened his eyes from meditation, his head throbbing slightly and his temples throbbing.

The mental energy was greatly depleted after a night of alchemy.

He leaned back in the chair in the private room, took out his phone, and searched for keywords such as "deep sleep" and "efficient rest".

The system then popped up a notification.

[Host detected to be learning: Deep sleep. Record?]

Yes.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, he decided to try it out immediately.

Set the time, close your eyes, and let your consciousness sink into a deep sleep.

Two hours later, I was woken up by the alarm clock, my mind was clear, and all my fatigue vanished.

This skill is simply divine!

While others need eight hours of sleep a day to recharge, he only needs two hours to be fully recovered, giving him six extra hours that he can use for cultivation or other things.

After a quick wash, he left the room.

The morning sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the old locust tree, casting dappled patterns of light. The courtyard was quiet, and Wang Yuxuan and Lin Jing were still fast asleep in their room.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.

Chen Mo opened the door, and Ye Yunshu stood quietly outside.

She was dressed in a standard urban business suit today.

She wore a tight-fitting light-colored shirt with a black pencil skirt, her shapely calves were covered with a layer of delicate flesh-colored stockings, and her long black hair was all pulled up, revealing her slender and fair neck and delicate collarbone. She looked capable, dignified and full of presence.

Chen Mo leaned against the door frame, lit a cigarette, and looked at it openly without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

His gaze slowly moved down from her delicate face, lingering for a few seconds on her legs encased in stockings, before leisurely looking away. He looked openly and frankly, without any intention of hiding it.

Ye Yunshu noticed his gaze, her face flushed slightly, but she didn't look away.

"Come in."

Chen Mo stepped aside.

Ye Yunshu stepped into the courtyard, sat down on the stone bench, and crossed her legs.

"Mr. Chen, from today onwards, I will be in full charge of all your affairs."

"I can handle everything, from purchasing medicinal herbs and managing the house to coordinating personal connections and meeting daily needs. I am available to serve you 24/7."

She paused, then added a sentence.

"This arrangement was personally finalized by my uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a knowing glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

Ye Changguo made the decision personally.

This is far more than simply assigning a contact person.

This is the Ye family making their stance clear: they've directly sent Ye Yunshu to his side.

It was no longer an occasional collaboration or temporary help, but rather Ye Yunshu was to follow him closely for a long time, handling his affairs personally and staying by his side.

The Ye family made a very shrewd move.

Bring out outstanding younger members of the family and completely bind them to you.

Using the Ye family's connections, abilities, and status to pave the way for themselves, in exchange for long-term dependence and mutual benefit.

If it were someone else, being bound to a top-tier wealthy family in this way, they might feel constrained and wary.

But Chen Mo didn't care at all.

With the system's cheat code at his side, his strength will only increase by leaps and bounds, continuously skyrocketing.

Now the Ye family is taking the initiative to approach him and invest in him. Before long, the Ye family will be completely dependent on him.

The balance of power has long been established!

Chen Mo squinted at Ye Yunshu again.

She even changed her outfit specifically to see him, perhaps wanting to become deeply involved with him?

In short, you'll know once you try it.

He gathered his thoughts and flicked off his cigarette ash.

"Okay, you'll be working with me from now on."

Ye Yunshu took out a list from her file bag and began to report on the channels and timetable for purchasing medicinal herbs.

She spoke in a very organized manner, listing out each item clearly, including suppliers, shipping cycles, and quality control.

Chen Mo wasn't listening at all.

He leaned back in his chair, watching Ye Yunshu's businesslike demeanor.

"Ye Yunshu".

Ye Yunshu stopped.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Did you change into this outfit specifically to see me?"

Ye Yunshu's finger paused for a moment at the edge of the document.

She hadn't expected Chen Mo to ask this so directly, and her face flushed slightly.

"Just everyday wear."

"Daily wear?"

Chen Mo smiled and paused on his lap for a few more seconds.

"I haven't seen you dressed so beautifully, so...elegantly, on the previous occasions."

Ye Yunshu opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.

When she went to ask Chen Mo for help, she noticed that both Lu Xingyao and Chen Mo were wearing flesh-colored stockings. She guessed that it might be a little preference of Chen Mo, which was why she specially changed her outfit today.

But with Chen Mo so frankly pointing it out, all the excuses she had prepared were useless.

"Mr. Chen, let's talk first..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Mo reached out and pulled her into his arms around her waist.

Caught off guard, Ye Yunshu lost her balance and fell into his arms, scattering the documents in her hands all over the floor and the list fluttering onto the stone table.

The warm masculine scent enveloped her, and the close contact caused her heart to race uncontrollably. Her entire face flushed red at a visible speed, from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

Her voice trembled, clearly showing panic.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Since you'll be working for me from now on, remember to stick close. Don't be so formal."

Chen Mo looked down at her, his tone casual.

Ye Yunshu supported herself on the stone table with both hands, her cheeks flushed.

She had imagined countless ways to get along: doing things seriously, gradually gaining trust, and steadily getting closer. But she never expected Chen Mo to be so direct and domineering, not following her script at all.

Chen Mo reached out and pinched her chin, then lowered his head and kissed her.

It took a full five minutes for their lips to separate.

Ye Yunshu's face turned as red as a ripe apple, her chest heaving violently, and her fingers gripping Chen Mo's clothes tightly.

At this moment, Wang Yuxuan and Lin Jing came out of the side room and happened to see this scene.

The two women stopped in their tracks instantly.

The air became inexplicably quiet.

Wang Yuxuan subconsciously gripped Lin Jing's sleeve, her eyes revealing a clear sense of helplessness and crisis, and she sighed softly.

Lin Jing didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Ye Yunshu in Chen Mo's arms, a deep sense of powerlessness flashing in her eyes.

The Ye family's carefully cultivated daughter is top-notch in every aspect, including status, ability, and aura.

They are not comparable at all.

Chen Mo saw the two women and spoke.

"come over."

The two walked up to Chen Mo.

Ignoring their emotions, Chen Mo took out his phone and transferred one million US dollars to Wang Yuxuan and Lin Jing respectively.

"I won't be staying in this yard much anymore. You can come and stay whenever you have time and help me take care of it. One million US dollars per person. Buy whatever you need yourself."

The two checked the transfer notification and thanked Brother Mo.

Chen Mo then transferred another million US dollars to Lu Xingyao and Su Wan.

We cannot favor one over the other.

Lu Xingyao replied instantly.

[You scumbag, you made money again?]

She then posted a photo of herself moving things in the villa.

Su Wan replied a few seconds late.

When are you coming back?

Chen Mo gave a brief reply, put his phone back in his pocket, and said to Ye Yunshu.

"Arrange a car to go back to Hangzhou."
