Chapter 118: 117 This Nun Is Really Going to Get Angry (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

Today the person is heartbroken, today is too long, today the abundance is itching.

Today the person is thinner and more withered than a fallen leaf.

At this moment, Liuli is like the afterglow illuminating the sunset clouds, like the emerald sun reflecting on the morning dew, like a lone boat drifting on a spring lake.

She holds a towel in her hand, her face peerlessly delicate and charming, her beautiful eyes darting about with traces of shyness and bewilderment; those slender, fair fingers are currently holding the towel, as if finding it hard to proceed, scrubbing Ning Mu's back.

Even though he is facing away from her.

Yet, witnessing the robustness of the opposite sex for the first time still makes this pretty nun, who has long been immersed in the temples and pagodas and lingered before golden Buddha statues, blush exceptionally hard.

Especially.

When every inch is wiped, she feels as if she can sense the tactile feedback from him through her fingertips; that feeling is simply like a unique, intoxicating experience of life and death.

This is something that cannot be experienced in the monotony of chanting in the Buddha hall!

But the next moment.

Liuli's hand suddenly freezes!

"Little friend, don't go too far!"

Liuli's expression changes slightly, and a few strands of annoyance and shame flash through her beautiful eyes.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Master, let me scrub you too!"

Ning Mu is not offended; instead, he turns around directly.

The splashed water lands on Liuli's bright and charming face.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~"

It immediately provokes a coquettish scolding from Liuli, who spits lightly again and again.

Her heart is even more chaotic.

"You, can't you move a little more gently?"

She actually ended up tasting the water splashed by this little fellow! Liuli feels bitter and angry, casting a white-eyed glare at Ning Mu, but when she sees the culprit, her cheeks turn red, and her eyes shift elsewhere, glistening.

This...

It is not that she has never seen it before.

Several times before, this guy Ning Mu would talk to her while being intimate with Ning Xiaoxiu.

But like this moment.

To look so directly.

And without any obstruction.

It is still the first time.

How could she, a nun devoted to Buddhism, not feel ashamed?

Wiping the water stains off her face.

Liuli submerges herself completely into the pool.

"Mm~ be gentle!"

"You lecher, just scrubbing my back is fine, you can't touch there!"

"Are you trying to die!"

"This nun is really going to get angry~"

"..."

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Number Two Sub-System owner Liuli has completed Task Two, feedback to Host with task reward, 100 Cultivation Points, Liuli Loyalty Value increased by 2%!】

Having thoroughly experienced the warm, fragrant, and soft jade of a nun.

Finally.

Amidst the pretty nun's shy and coquettish scolding, this beautiful morning comes to an end.

Liuli leaves.

But in a little while, someone else will come voluntarily to relieve his boredom.

Ning Mu leans against the edge of the hot spring pool, feeling listless, and opens the system to take a look.

Xia Lu Zhu Xitong

Name: Ning Mu

Age: 18 years old

Gender: Male Height: 181 Cultivation: Tongmai Realm (0/925) + Martial Arts: Earth-Tier · Proud Frost Saber Technique (Entry 30/200) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique · Floating Mystery Steps (Entry 70/200) +, Secret Technique · Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou (Beginner 102/500) + Cultivation Points: 1180 Warehouse: Wind and Snow Cold Crow (Wuji · Saber type · Earth-Tier) X1, Blood Origin Demon Art (Demonic Path technique · Earth-Tier Supreme Grade) X1, Premium Potato Seeds *2000 jin, Buddha Gate Spear Technique · Prajna Spear Technique 【Earth-Tier】...

Couple Black Market: Opened

His cultivation has been raised, but most of his martial arts are still at the entry stage.

And the improvement of strength does not rely solely on cultivation; it is also closely related to techniques and martial arts.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Mu spends 170 points to upgrade the Proud Frost Saber Technique from Entry to Minor Accomplishment.

Then he spends another 130 points to upgrade the movement technique Floating Mystery Steps to Minor Accomplishment.

As for this Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou... after some thought, he decides not to consume Cultivation Points for now; after all, this thing can be improved every day by relying on them! Next.

He looks at the warehouse again.

He has always wanted to learn the Blood Origin Demon Art, but he has always felt it was too cruel, requiring the absorption of others' Pure Essence, blood energy, and cultivation to supplement oneself to achieve the goal of cultivation; it is not a good martial art.

But after thinking about it for these past few days, he decides to learn it.

Having more skills is never a burden.

Besides, he cannot bear to be cruel to good people, but being cruel to bad people carries no psychological burden, right?

【Do you wish to spend 100 Cultivation Points to learn the Earth-Tier Supreme Grade technique · Blood Origin Demon Art?】

"Learn!"

【Earth-Tier Supreme Grade Internal Art: Blood Origin Demon Art: (Beginner 0/100) +】

Although it is Earth-Tier Supreme Grade, upgrading it still only costs 100 Cultivation Points.

It seems only Heaven-Tier techniques require more Cultivation Points to advance from Beginner to Entry-level.

Having grasped these rules in his heart, Ning Mu turned his gaze toward the Buddha Gate spear technique manual.

【Do you wish to spend 100 Cultivation Points to learn the Earth-Tier Buddha Gate spear technique: Prajna Spear Technique?】

"Learn!"

【Earth-Tier Spear Technique: Prajna Spear Technique: (Beginner 0/100) +】

In an instant.

Ning Mu felt two streams of memory regarding the Blood Origin Demon Art and the Prajna Spear Technique appear in his mind.

He had 680 Cultivation Points remaining.

In one breath, Ning Mu spent 300 Cultivation Points to raise the Prajna Spear Technique to the Minor Accomplishment stage.

Martial Arts: Earth-Tier · Frost-Proud Saber Technique (Minor Accomplishment 0/400) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique · Floating Mystery Steps (Minor Accomplishment 0/400) +, Earth-Tier Spear Technique · Prajna Spear Technique (Minor Accomplishment 0/400) +, Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou (Beginner 102/500) +, Earth-Tier Supreme Grade Internal Art · Blood Origin Demon Art: (Beginner 0/100) + Cultivation Points: 380. Next, he added all 380 Cultivation Points to his Cultivation Points.

Cultivation Points: Tongmai Realm (380/925) +. And while Ning Mu was raising his cultivation.

The back door.

A sedan chair stopped here with practiced ease, and then the sedan curtain was lifted, and Jin Xiangyu, dressed in flamboyant attire, stepped out of the sedan with graceful, swaying steps.

In her hand, she carried a small box.

"Xiaojin, you all go back first, and come pick me up early tomorrow morning."

Jin Xiangyu turned her head and said to the maid Xiaojin.

Xiaojin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Very well, Young Lady, but... Young Lady, the Young Master seems to be in this Yichun Courtyard as well; he just sent someone home to withdraw one thousand taels of silver from the accounts office..."

"One thousand taels? Is he drinking flower wine again?"

Jin Xiangyu's brows furrowed instantly.

"No, I heard from Little Shunzi that the Young Master is at the gambling house, and it was Yichun Courtyard that gave the Young Master and his companions one hundred taels of silver in chips each..."

Xiaojin hurriedly reported in a weak voice.

"Fine, I understand!"

Jin Xiangyu frowned, waved her hand, and entered Yingyue Terrace from the back door without looking back.

Today was the opening of the Young Master's Yichun Courtyard, and as a Female Slave raised by the Young Master, she naturally had to pay a visit to celebrate.

For this, she had even bathed and burned incense in advance, not only scrubbing herself clean but also specifically wearing the undergarments the Young Master loved most underneath.

Over these past days, they had met in private every day.

Under Ning Mu's influence and training, she had long since become very perceptive and recognized her own status.

Carrying a heart full of anxiety, nervousness, and excitement all the way.

Before long.

Jin Xiangyu saw him on the small square in the courtyard.

This was the first time she had seen that Ning Mu could also practice martial arts.

And this martial art looked extraordinary.

Although her talent in the Martial Dao was mediocre, she could still distinguish the good from the bad.

"Hah!" Accompanied by a loud shout, Ning Mu finished his stance and regulated his breath. Jin Xiangyu, who had been standing far away, then took the initiative to approach him.

【Prompt: You have diligently practiced the Prajna Technique once, Proficiency +2!】

On the panel, the result of the recent practice flashed by.

"Young Master, your slave has arrived~"

"Congratulations on the Young Master's opening. This is a small gift I have prepared; I hope the Young Master will accept it with a smile~"

As she spoke.

Jin Xiangyu knelt by the hot spring pool and opened the box she had brought in.

Inside the box was a jade ruyi that glowed with a faint light.

One look told that it was worth a fortune.

But what was even more precious was the meaning behind it.

"Mm, you have a heart."

"Come here."

"Wipe me down!"

Ning Mu nodded with satisfaction and then beckoned to her.

He discovered that he still preferred practicing.

If he was going to practice, he would practice this world-defying, invincible weapon of the Overlord! Therefore, he decided that he would properly maintain it in the future and cultivate this Prajna Technique until it reached the Great Accomplishment, or even the Perfection stage! Hearing Ning Mu's words.

Jin Xiangyu nodded sensibly.

Her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of shyness, and she gracefully removed her clothes, then dipped her jade-like feet into the hot spring.

The lone wild goose in the sky seemed to feel sorrow and indignation at the atmosphere in the small courtyard, flapping its wings and flying away to find its own other half.

The chirping swallows also stopped their singing.

They tilted their heads and looked curiously at the hot spring pool below, as if trying to understand what kind of behavior that unclad person was engaging in! Ning Mu stretched comfortably.

And just at this moment.

Xia Chan came running over in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "Young Master, something has happened at Jinyun Gambling House that needs to be handled."

"What happened?"

"Someone lost a bet and refuses to pay, they are causing a scene in the gambling house, and Second Madam is over there handling it."

"Just throw them out; does a person like that require me to step in personally?"

Ning Mu rose and stepped onto the bank.

While letting Xia Chan attend to him as he dressed, he raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Xia Chan glanced hesitantly at Jin Xiangyu, who was in the hot spring pool in full bloom, and whispered: "That person is Young Lady Jin's younger brother, and there is another one with him named Qi Yutong..."

The implication was that neither of these two had an ordinary status.

Even Second Madam did not dare to offend them rashly.

This was where the drawback lay.

In the past, the Jin Yun Gambling House mostly welcomed guests who were commoners, and those with a bit of money had no prominent family background.

After all, the scale of the gambling house was only so big.

People who were slightly more prestigious would not deign to go to a small place like the Jin Yun Gambling House.

But now, the Jin Yun Gambling House had been incorporated under the Yichun Courtyard, and its scale was expanding, so it was hard to guarantee it wouldn't offend some big figures who couldn't be provoked.

Hearing her younger brother mentioned, Jin Xiangyu, whose eyes were red and who was currently rinsing her mouth, could not help but freeze.

Immediately.

A look of urgency flashed through those red eyes.

"Young Master, shall I go take a look?"

Jin Xiangyu stood up, and large beads of water spilled from her beautiful, charming, and magnificent bosom.

"Mm, let's go together."

Ning Mu nodded.

This convenient brother-in-law was truly a headache.

On the way to the Jinyun Gambling House, Jin Xiangyu introduced the identities of Jin Yuanbao and that Qi Yutong to Ning Mu.

Ordinary people did not know about the Qi Family.

But for Jin Xiangyu, she certainly understood.

"In other words, this Qi Family can be considered the uncrowned king of this Yonghang?"

At the entrance of the Jinyun Gambling House.

Jin Xiangyu nodded and said to Ning Mu: "You could say that; there are some things even the government has to look at the Qi Family's face for."

"If Young Master wants to make it big in this territory of Yonghang, you must have the Qi Family's consent!"

Jin Xiangyu reminded him with a heavy heart, her eyes filled with worry.

Ning Mu could not help but freeze.

He stopped and looked at Jin Xiangyu, saying: "I want to make it big, and I still have to look at their faces?"

Jin Xiangyu nodded solemnly.

Ning Mu laughed and said: "I have a Grandmaster, I have a True Person, and that still won't work?"

A look of shock flashed in Jin Xiangyu's eyes.

She thought there was only that one Grandmaster, Liu Qingmei; she didn't expect that behind the Young Master, there were actually True Person experts! However, she thought for a moment and still shook her head, saying: "Within the territory of Yonghang City, I reckon you still have to look at their faces; after all... behind the Qi Family is the officialdom, is the Imperial Court!"

"Can't the government cover me?" Ning Mu asked in return.

Jin Xiangyu's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking, she said concisely again: "You can, by kneeling."

"I have a Grandmaster, I have a True Person martial artist, and with the government covering me, I still have to kneel?"

"Replying to Young Master, in Yonghang, if you want to make it big, you have to be like this..."

"Haha, I am naturally stiff-kneed; I can't kneel!"

Ning Mu laughed heartily, not knowing if he was amused by anger or simply didn't take it seriously. He pinched Jin Xiangyu's cheek, then directly embraced her, gave an order to Xia Chan, and stepped through the door.

"Go invite Prefect Pi over, and just say that a guy claiming to be surnamed Qi is causing trouble at the gambling house."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Xia Chan accepted the order and left.

"Young Master, I estimate that the Prefect will decline, saying he is busy and cannot come. He is a man of the officialdom and certainly won't want to offend the Qi Family!" Jin Xiangyu said.

Ning Mu shrugged and smiled: "It doesn't matter if he comes or not, as long as the message is delivered."

Second floor.

In the high-end private room.

At this moment, the situation was tense, and Liu Jinming sat in the corner without saying a word.

Bearing the brunt of it was Jin Yuanbao.

At this moment, he was confronting Ceng Lao, his face flushed red with anger.

And Qi Yutong was sitting by the gambling table, his eyes filled with sneers and playfulness.

He truly did not put a small gambling house in his eyes.

Let alone this gambling house, what could the entire Yichun Courtyard do? It was just a matter of a single word!

Whether it collapses on its opening day or survives in this Yonghang for a long time, it all depends on a single thought! "The two of you, it is understandable to have bad luck, but the gambling house has its rules. We are open for business, so naturally, we understand what the consequences of cheating guests would be. This high-end private room was specially opened for the three of you, so there is no possibility of cheating. Besides, you are both people of status and reputation; in terms of reason and sentiment, we would not risk offending you by doing such a thing!"

Tong Yuyue shook her head, standing behind Ceng Lao, explaining patiently.

This room truly had no cheating.

It was purely that these two Young Masters had terrible luck.

And almost as soon as Tong Yuyue's voice fell.

Instantly.

One could only see Jin Yuanbao jumping up and cursing: "Bullshit! I was killing it at the start, and later I just kept losing. This is just your gambling house's old tricks. Don't quibble; either pay back the money, or today this Young Master will smash your shop!"

Hearing these words, Tong Yuyue knitted her delicate brows.

She was also a person with a temper.

How could she let herself be manipulated like this?

And just as she was about to explode.

At this moment.

The private room door was pushed open.

Immediately after, a man and a woman were seen walking in.

"Yuanbao!"

"What are you barking about!"

The moment the door was pushed open, before the faces of those who had arrived could be seen clearly, a sharp reprimand suddenly rang out.
