Chapter 115

The skin tone was a uniform, cold white with a healthy ruddy glow, and the texture was as delicate and smooth as fine porcelain, flawless, and even glowing with a soft, ivory-like luster.

Paired with his already excellent facial features and those eyes that were becoming clearer and deeper due to the mental improvement...

Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked at himself in the mirror and was speechless for a while.

This had already transcended the category of "handsome" or "good-looking."

This was a kind of near-distorted, non-aggressive, perfect exquisiteness.

He suddenly thought of something, and with a thought, he called up the attribute panel.

His gaze swept quickly.

[Character: Xia Xia Xia Mujun]

[Age: 16]

[Strength: 4] (Average attribute for a normal adult is 5)

[Agility: 4]

[Spirit: 6]

[Physique: 6]

[Charm: 10]

[Available Attribute Points: 0]

[Distance to next attribute point reward: 3 more pieces of equipment needed!]

His gaze was firmly locked on the [Charm] column.

10?!

The number was clearly hanging there.

He remembered clearly that it was 9 before.

While his physique increased from 5 to 6, his charm also jumped from 9 to 10?!

"..."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked at the mirror and was silent for a long time.

Finally, he raised his hand to touch his incredibly smooth cheek, and then looked down at this brand-new, vibrant body.

Feeling the unprecedented coordinated power and keen perception flowing in his body.

"Sigh..."

A sigh mixed with extreme satisfaction and a trace of helplessness gently disappeared into the misty steam of the bathroom.

The all-around strengthening of his body was undoubtedly great news.

But Xia Xia Xia Mujun, who liked to keep a low profile, really didn't intend to improve his charm as well...

The door was pushed open.

Wearing a junior high school uniform, the very cute Ruri Natsume entered the house.

Thinking there was no one at home, she didn't say "I'm home," just took off her black loafers alone, and stepped on the tatami with her feet in white socks.

She planned to change out of her school uniform first, put on casual clothes, dress up a little, and then wait for her brother to return so they could go out shopping together.

"Ruri, welcome back."

However, hearing her brother's voice echoing in the room, Ruri Natsume was stunned and quickly looked up at the room, but didn't see anyone.

She turned to the bathroom, but saw Xia Xia Xia Mujun sitting alone on a small stool with his back to her, washing his school uniform.

"Brother, why are you back so early today?"

"Didn't you say you'd be back around five?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun washed his school uniform without looking back and explained:

"Things at the publishing house finished early, so I came back."

Ruri Natsume was confused:

"Brother, what are you talking about, what publishing house?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun still explained without looking back:

"The suspense mystery novel I've been writing, it was accepted by an editor at the publishing house today."

Ruri Natsume was stunned for a long time, the school bag she was holding dropped onto the tatami, and she was dumbfounded:

"Ah?"

"What do you mean the novel you wrote was approved?!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Listening to that calm tone, Ruri Natsume looked at Xia Xia Xia Mujun's back as he was still washing clothes and asked excitedly:

"Brother, is this true?"

"No matter what kind of novel it is, it's very difficult to get it published!"

"If it really got approved, it means the quality of your novel is very good!"

As she spoke, she was afraid that Xia Xia Xia Mujun was joking, so she muttered in a low voice:

"Ruri really wants to believe you, so I don't want you to joke and lie to me, I'd be a little unhappy if you did..."

A classmate Ruri Natsume knew once tried to submit to a publishing house.

That girl was in the literature club at school and was quite capable in literature.

But even so, she didn't pass the publishing house's review at all.

The manuscript was even returned after being read for only a few minutes.

It could be said that the girl didn't just submit once, but submitted the novel she wrote many times, but none of them passed.

One can imagine how difficult it is.

And her brother actually got it approved the first time he wrote a novel?

Even if Ruri Natsume was willing to believe it, she found it hard to believe.

Because her brother's grades were always at the bottom...

No matter how she looked at it, his writing wasn't as good as her classmate's, and his knowledge wasn't as deep...

That's why she suspected her brother was teasing her.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun took the clothes to rinse, still without looking back:

"Why would I lie to you for no reason."

"If you don't believe me, go to the table and take my phone to check the text messages."

"There's even the message about my appointment with the publishing house."

Hearing what Xia Xia Xia Mujun said, Ruri Natsume didn't deny it immediately, but walked to the table half-believing and picked up the phone.

Although the screen was still locked.

Ruri Natsume already knew her brother's phone password.

Because her brother's password was his birthday.

She entered 0825, unlocked the phone, and clicked into the text message interface.

Seeing the message about the successful appointment with the publishing house, she was stunned.

"Brother, did you really go to the publishing house? Is it true that your novel was approved?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

It seemed he had lied to Ruri quite a few times...

But they were all white lies, it should be fine...

Ruri Natsume was shocked, never expecting that her brother, who was always a "dummy," actually got his novel approved?

Could it be that her brother really had a talent for writing novels?

She quickly ran back to the bathroom and asked Xia Xia Xia Mujun, who was still washing clothes, excitedly:

"Brother, what did the editor say about your novel?"

"Forgot, anyway, they said it passed, I didn't pay much attention to the rest."

Ruri Natsume was still very happy:

"Brother, can Ruri see the novel you wrote?"
