Chapter 110: 109 Is This Still the Ciyun Divine Nun Who Once Dominated the Jianghu?

The next day.

The sun was high in the sky.

"Why hasn't the Young Master woken up yet?"

At the kitchen entrance, Yuzan and Dongxue gazed toward the main hall, their eyes filled with a hint of worry.

Qiuxiang and Yuhuan had gone to the neighboring residence to supervise the production of Perfume.

As for Chunzhi and Xia Chan, they appeared much calmer, as if they had long since grown accustomed to this.

Chunzhi was busy preparing the toothbrush, face towel, and wash water for after the Young Master woke up.

Xia Chan was holding a broom, sweeping the dust in the courtyard.

Hearing Yuzan's question, Dongxue merely shook her head and did not speak in response.

Her temperament had always been cold and aloof.

Unless necessary, she rarely even spoke.

Of course.

This was only when facing her companions.

When facing the head of the household, she still understood the rules that ought to be understood.

"Do you think it could be that last night was too much, and the Young Master has burned out his oil?"

"I remember you were the one who cried out the loudest last night; the Young Master dotes on you the most, it seems he gave it to you twice?"

Yuzan frowned slightly, her round little face full of worry.

In the eyes she turned toward Dongxue, it was unclear whether it was jealousy or anger.

This girl, she looked as cold as an iceberg, unable to squeeze out a single sound even if you beat her with three sticks.

Yet in front of the Young Master, especially when she was picked up by him and hung around his neck.

For every step the Young Master took, she would cry out once.

That passion was simply like a different person! Nothing like how she was now, feigning coldness.

Suddenly being spoken to like this by Yuzan, Dongxue's pretty face instantly flushed red.

She didn't want to be like that either.

But the Young Master just loved to conquer her cold temperament, wanting to see her looking like she was being messed with until she wailed...

"Aren't you the same, don't talk about me!"

Dongxue responded for once.

And just at this moment.

A faint sound could be heard coming from within.

"Chunzhi."

Dongxue and Yuzan exchanged a glance, their eyes both lighting up.

The Young Master was awake! The two hurriedly turned and entered the kitchen to get busy.

Breakfast was already prepared, just waiting for the Young Master to come out so it could be enjoyed! Of course.

Breakfast did not consist only of delicious food.

There was also Ning Xiaoxiu, who had been waiting under the dining table, ready to take orders at any time.

Chunzhi hurriedly picked up the washbasin and rushed into the bedroom.

Under the service of this pretty maid Chunzhi, dressing and washing were completed in one go.

Feeling refreshed, Ning Mu walked to the entrance of the main hall, looking at this courtyard that was neither too big nor too small, barely able to accommodate a crowd of beauties, and at those girls who were looking forward with longing, their beautiful eyes filled with shyness and anticipation, and he stretched comfortably.

Hmm.

The courtyard was still too small.

Once Master Liu Qingmei and Second Aunt Tong Yuyue moved in, it clearly wouldn't be enough space! It seemed necessary to start looking for a larger residence! Once Yichun Courtyard opened and the liquor sold well, the funds should be enough.

Let Jiang Fuling keep an eye out for it these next few days; if she could find a large mansion with good Feng Shui and a deep, quiet layout, he would spend the money to buy it.

He could now be considered to have a small family business.

Plus, the manufacturing of Perfume and the brewing of liquor also required a stable and spacious venue.

It's all money!

Ning Mu calculated in his heart.

Then he walked down the steps, preparing to have breakfast.

After his hard work, he was already famished.

Although picking four peach blossoms at once was still within his capabilities.

It was just that after adding Chunzhi, Xia Chan, and Ning Xiaoxiu, who had gradually been trained into a lewd girl.

Plus three hours of time, he was ultimately a bit unable to keep up.

But for the sake of pleasure.

He did not hesitate to spend 300 Cultivation Points to exchange for a medicinal pill in the Black Market.

A permanent enhancement! Allowing his strength to be significantly improved.

Seven-person slaughter, he had nothing to fear! "Young Master~"

The maids stepped forward, greeting him one after another.

"Hmm, is walking okay?"

"Is it still hurting?"

"You seemed to have eaten the most yesterday, are you alright?"

"~"

Ning Mu greeted them one by one; these questions seemed to make them blush and feel embarrassed.

But undoubtedly, every one of their eyes lit up.

The young master had been so busy last night, yet he could still remember the "hard work" each of them had put in; he was too amazing!

Especially the cold and elegant Dongxue; the moment her cold, clear eyes saw Ning Mu, they completely erupted like a volcano, becoming incredibly fervent!

Thinking back to last night.

They were all lying prone side by side before the couch...

It made one feel an unbearable surge of agitation! He pinched the chubby cheeks of the maidservants one by one.

Ning Mu walked to the dining table with a smile.

Under the table.

Ning Xiaoxiu familiarly stretched out her small hand, revealing a charming smile, greeting her master.

"Creak~"

Suddenly.

The door of the West Wing opened.

Immediately following.

Liuli was seen walking out with a look of listless interest; whenever she saw Ning Mu's "cheeky" expression, her deep eyes would fill with a sense of stifled speechlessness.

Seeing Liuli, Ning Mu's eyes lit up instantly.

Liuli's attire today could be described as ethereal and refined; while untainted by conventional styles, it also carried a few more traces of bewitching charm! Yes.

He actually saw bewitching charm on a nun! At the same time, he silently opened the system to take a look.

He had been too busy last night and had directly blocked system notifications, so he hadn't seen the status changes of the two sub-systems.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Liuli, owner of the Number Two Sub-System, has chosen Option One for Task Three!】

————

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Liuli, owner of the Number Two Sub-System, has completed Task Three Option One: Purple Star Scripture Recitation. Feedback reward for the Host: obtained 100 Cultivation Points, Buddha Gate Spear Technique · Prajna Spear Technique 【Earth-Tier】, and Liuli Loyalty Value increased by 3%!】

Hmm?

Ning Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This nun, one cannot judge a person by their appearance!

She truly has a natural Charm Bone.

She actually chose Option One?

This was something he hadn't expected at all!

He had originally thought that Liuli would directly ignore Option One and waver between two and three, with a high probability of choosing two!

After all, such a magical thing as the Purple Star Scripture Recitation.

As a person who has left the secular world, how could Liuli do it? But now it seems.

Liuli Shitai is not as calm and desireless as she appears on the surface! "Why did you wake up so late today, Shitai?"

Ning Mu smiled and took the initiative to greet her.

Liuli glanced at the busy Ning Xiaoxiu under the table, a flash of shyness crossing her deep eyes, but she immediately sat over calmly and sat before the table. "The little friend sleeps too soundly at night; you wouldn't even know if an assassin entered the door. If this continues, I fear your little life will be hard to keep."

The chilly wind made Liuli feel somewhat restless.

But she still spoke with sarcasm.

Letting you kid only know how to indulge in the land of gentleness all day; I am here this time, but what about next time? Liuli's eyes danced with mockery.

If Ning Xiaoxiu were to turn her head slightly at this moment, she would be able to see just how pure and flawless Liuli Shitai's Buddha domain was.

Ning Mu was shocked upon hearing this.

Startled, Ning Xiaoxiu under the table was terrified, hurriedly blurting out, and knelt on the ground.

"Keep it in!"

Ning Mu darkened his face and turned to look at Xia Chan.

"Xia Chan, go see what's going on!"

Xia Chan and the other maidservants were also shocked by Liuli's words! They immediately took the order and were about to investigate.

At this moment, Liuli waved her hand and said, "No need, I have already knocked everyone out and handed them over to the Disciples of your Cangjian Villa next door for interrogation; I presume the results are already out by now."

Hearing Liuli's words, Ning Mu breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't speak, but looked at Xia Chan instead.

Xia Chan nodded, flashed, jumped up directly, vaulted over the roof, and went next door.

Seeing Ning Mu's deflated expression, Liuli finally felt relieved.

She was immediately all smiles, picked up her chopsticks, and directly picked up a piece of food; while it was in mid-air, she glanced at Ning Mu, hesitated for a moment, and then placed it into Ning Mu's bowl.

She had originally intended to feed him directly.

After all, the requirement for Task Two was intimate feeding.

But she still wanted to find a loophole to see if simply picking up food for Ning Mu would complete the task.

Sure enough.

She had overthought it.

After waiting for a moment, the system remained silent, with no feedback whatsoever!

"Many thanks to Shitai for your righteous intervention."

Ning Mu said with a smile, implying something as he looked at the food in his bowl.

Then.

Ning Mu looked Liuli up and down, observing her attire for the day.

Finally, his eyes fixed on the mountain peaks and ravines, the faint, visible whiteness resembling the snow-covered ridges in winter—cold, arrogant, and lonely, yet making one unable to stop the urge to climb up and explore the truth.

Fair-skinned and composed, mellow and graceful.

A plain white gown, embroidered with Putuo Ye and lotus patterns, looked elegant and refined, perfectly matching Liuli's own simple and elegant temperament.

Beneath the plain robe.

Her snow-white, slender, and shapely legs were like white lotus roots, making one unable to resist wanting to stroke them to test that warm and smooth texture.

A Buddhist pendant hung at her chest, setting off that elegant charm even more vividly.

It made one unable to resist wanting to transform into that Buddhist pendant and ascend to the peak of that snow-capped mountain.

"I have never seen this monastic robe of yours, Divine Nun; it is quite beautiful!"

Noticing Ning Mu's unmasked, wicked gaze, Liuli's heart suddenly panicked.

For no reason, she felt a ripple of agitation surge from the bottom of her heart.

Then she crossed her legs, sitting with one leg over the other under the table.

And it was at this very moment.

Ning Xiaoxiu was greatly astonished.

This Divine Nun...

Is she actually so empty of desire? As expected of a Buddhist cultivator, her cultivation has truly reached a high level!

Ning Xiaoxiu could not help but feel shocked, but seeing her master chatting happily with her, it was not appropriate to speak up and interrupt.

Seeming to notice Ning Xiaoxiu's gaze, Liuli frowned imperceptibly.

But she could not express anything.

After all, she had done this of her own volition; having been seen by others, she could only blame her own bad luck.

Fortunately, this time it was not Ning Mu's gaze.

It was this woman, Ning Xiaoxiu.

"Since it is beautiful, shall this poor nun wear it for you to see every day from now on?"

Liuli forcibly suppressed the restlessness in her heart, her tone as gentle as possible, and a trace of shyness flashed in her deep eyes.

"That would be lovely, but it is fine for me to see; do not let other wild men catch a glimpse," Ning Mu said with hidden meaning.

Liuli was stunned upon hearing this, then her face flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes flickered as she gave a light 'oh', and then she teased with a chuckle: "I didn't expect you to be so possessive, little friend; do you care so much about this poor nun being looked at by other men?"

Liuli's brows curved like the moon, her apricot eyes filled with a hint of secret joy.

"To thank you for caring about this poor nun, come, have this bite as a token of my heart."

Liuli took the opportunity to pick up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks and actively fed it to Ning Mu's lips.

Ning Mu had no scruples and opened his mouth to eat it directly.

He even licked the chopsticks.

Watching the chopsticks she had just used being treated like that by Ning Mu, Liuli's heart could not help but surge like the tide.

"Mm, what the Divine Nun feeds is indeed fragrant; if only you could feed me a little more."

Ning Mu looked at Liuli with shameless audacity.

This made Liuli blush with shame and anger.

Especially when the few maidservants serving nearby saw her intimately feeding the young master and using the same pair of chopsticks, they were all stunned.

They watched in disbelief.

This! Is this still the formidable Divine Nun Ciyun who dominates the jianghu? And just at this moment.

Xia Chan returned.

"Young Master, I have found out clearly!"

"Who is it?"

Ning Mu raised an eyebrow.

"It is the leader of the Flying Sand Gang from the neighboring Qitang County and his subordinates. They were paid to do the job, acting under the orders of the Grain Merchants Association president, He Daqian, to kill the Young Master. The reward is ten thousand taels of silver; this is the deposit!"

As she spoke, Xia Chan presented several silver notes with both hands.

One thousand taels each, for a total deposit of three thousand taels.

He Daqian? Ning Mu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the silver notes on the table, then calmly put them away without even lifting his eyelids, saying composedly: "Since you have found out, kill them all. Spend some money to find some men and wipe out that Flying Sand Gang as well."

"Yes, Young Master, I will have Senior Brother Huang go!"

Xia Chan nodded and accepted the order.

The so-called Senior Brother Huang was Huang Yutang, a Disciple of Cangjian Villa responsible for guarding the grain and the winery nearby.

Among the Disciples of Cangjian Villa, he ranked twenty-seventh.

But that was not the point.

The point was that Huang Yutang's father and mother were both servants in the Liutang County Liu Family estate; his father, Huang Lingbai, was one of the most trusted Stewards of Liu Qingmei's father, Liu Yutu, and his mother, Madam An, was also a Deacon in the inner courtyard of the Liu Family.

To put it plainly.

Huang Yutang was a Disciple specifically planted in Cangjian Villa by Liu Yutu for his daughter.

As long as the Ye Family treated Liu Qingmei well, this chess piece would naturally not be used.

But once the Ye Family had any issues with Liu Qingmei, then Huang Yutang would be Liu Qingmei's most loyal death-sworn guard.

Therefore.

This Huang Yutang was also extremely respectful toward Ning Mu.

And it was precisely because of this relationship that Liu Qingmei felt at ease letting him guard Ning Mu's side.

Ning Mu nodded, agreeing with Xia Chan's suggestion.

However, Xia Chan did not leave, but looked at Ning Mu with hesitation, lingering for a moment before saying with hidden resentment: "Young Master, what about that He Daqian?"

That person is vicious; letting him off the hook, he actually hired assassins to assassinate the Young Master!

"No need to pay them any mind, I will resolve this myself!"

Ning Mu smiled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Yet his hand subconsciously searched for a path, resting upon Liuli's snow-white, plump leg, as if he were stroking it back and forth while lost in thought...
