Jiang Shaoxu suddenly realized something as she set foot into the elevator. She lifted her gaze to Mu Bai, who was a step in front of her. She stared at the side and the back of his head.

Why did I agree to come? What if he misunderstood me?, the thought suddenly crossed her mind.

It was almost evening. Even though it was common to go inside a property to view it, there might be other reasons, too. She remembered Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan mention that Mu Bai was a hypocrite. Jiang Shaoxu assumed he was a rather righteous man, but what if he was up to something by inviting her to his place? There had been a lot of code words for sexual intentions lately. Did she unintentionally agree to something?

However, Jiang Shaoxu did not consider it appropriate for her to leave now that she had already come. She was not a shy woman, either. If the man did have the intention to hook up with her, it simply meant he found her attractive. She would just turn it down in a friendly way.

Mu Bai went to the door and took out the key to unlock it. He suddenly realized he was not even that close with Jiang Shaoxu to be inviting her into his house, let alone giving her the house…

However, both Mu Bai and Jiang Shaoxu were stunned when the door opened. A sweet scent greeted them, followed by a woman in silk sleepwear and long curly hair standing in the doorway.

The woman most likely did not expect Mu Bai to be bringing a woman home. She was obviously surprised, but she quickly smiled and said, “Mu Bai, you’re finally back. Where have you been all these days? You left me alone here. I thought you were running away after having an enjoyable night with me.”

Jiang Shaoxu gasped.

It turned out that Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were telling the truth. Mu Bai was indeed a hypocrite! He had hooked up with someone a few days ago, yet he did not even let the other woman leave before trying to hook up with her. Where were his manners!?

“Err, I guess I’ll just look around for other places on my own,” Jiang Shaoxu said awkwardly. She turned around and left.

Mu Bai tried to explain, but he seriously had no idea what to say.

After Jiang Shaoxu left, Mu Bai turned to the woman whose clothes had slightly crossed the line.

“Mu Xumian, what do you mean by this? If I’m not mistaken, this is the house that the South Wing Platoon has given me. Aren’t you going too far by entering my house without my permission?” Mu Bai sounded a little angry.

Mu Xumian was a vicious and merciless woman. She had almost killed them all under the lava pond in Kunlun Mountain’s Sun Ridge. The Mu Clan had ended up paying a huge price and promising to give up on certain crucial areas which were threatening the Mui Clan and the Dongfang Clan to ransom Mu Xumian. To Mu Bai’s surprise, Mu Xumian had returned so quickly to trouble them. The people of Fanxue Mountain knew she was currently managing the Dali Clan!

“I’m your neighbor. Our balcony is even connected. I had no idea that the district chief of the City North would arrange for me to stay beside you. I haven’t had the time to buy appliances, so I came to live in your house for a few days… I didn’t expect to bump into you and your girlfriend. Did I mess it up? It’s fine, I’ll make up for it. My body is hotter than hers. I’m confident in my skills, too. I promise that I can satisfy you, alright?” Mu Xumian played with her hair and exposed her shoulder, like she was ready to accept her fate.

Mu Bai rolled his eyes. He said, “If you like the place, I’ll let you have it. I can ask the South Wing Platoon to move me somewhere else.”

Mu Bai did not even have a chance to live in the house, and Mu Xumian had already left a mess after living in it for a few days. He seriously wondered what the people of the South Wing Platoon were doing to allocating units in the same building to them.

“Hehe, I like when you are being cold to me, it’s making me excited. That being said, we are colleagues from now on. You shouldn’t be so cold to me,” Mu Xumian said.

“What colleagues?” Mu Bai was confused.

“I’m a South Wing Mage too! To be more accurate, we are of the same rank! You are a combatant, while I’m in charge of assigning the members. Why do you think they put our places together?” Mu Xumian explained, teasing him.

“It’s truly my pleasure,” Mu Bai scoffed sourly.

“Don’t just stand at the door. Come in and take a seat. Your house is perfectly clean under my care. It even smells like home now. To be frank, I actually quite like it here. Why don’t we live in the same house? I wouldn’t mind at all.” Mu Xumian invited Mu Bai in with a gesture.

“I’m only going to grab my stuff. The place is yours,” Mu Bai went into the house and retrieved the personal belongings he had left in his room before.

Mu Xumian’s grin widened when Mu Bai was talking rough to her, as if the colder Mu Bai was toward her, the happier she would feel.

“The way you say it really sounds like we aren’t going to see each other again after our pleasant journey comes to an end…ugh!” Mu Xumian suddenly vomited in the middle of the sentence.

Mu Bai did not bother looking at her. He thought she was going to tease him again, but he soon noticed a strong smell of blood.

He turned around and saw Mu Xumian vomiting blood, dying the light blue carpet red. She was still doing it, too!

Mu Xumian’s body was obviously twitching. It felt like she was going to vomit her organs out. Her face suddenly turned extremely pale while her lips darkened.

“What’s wrong with you?” Mu Bai was given a huge fright.

There was no way she would vomit so much blood if she was just putting up an act, especially after he saw the painful expression on her face. It felt like something was stirring up her insides.

“I…I don’t know…” Mu Xumian too had no idea what was happening to her. She could not even support herself.

“I’ll bring you to the headquarters!” Mu Bai realized how serious the situation was. He threw Mu Xumian over his shoulder and brought her to the headquarters of the South Wing Platoon without any hesitation.

—

Mu Xumian was still vomiting blood. It soon dyed his back red. It was like he had just come out of a pool of red dye while he was running on the street.

“Help…help…me…” Mu Xumian pleaded feebly in pain.

“I’m helping you!” Mu Bai answered seriously.

Even though Mu Bai disliked the woman, he could not just ignore her seeing how bad her condition was.

The rate she was vomiting blood at was unbelievable. There was only so much blood a human body contained, yet Mu Xumian had vomited half of it out. An ordinary person would be dead by now!

Mu Bai had no clue why it was happening. His priority was to bring her to the Healers of the South Wing Platoon.
