Chapter 129: 128 Is It Necessary for This Pair of Master and Disciple to Make Such a Big Scene

After entering the main gate, the system suddenly flickered with a few task-issuing light spots as a reminder, so Ning Mu immediately opened the system to take a look.

【Prompt: Do you wish to issue the following task to the owner of the Number One Sub-System, Liu Qingmei?】

Issue!

【Prompt: Do you wish to issue the following task to the owner of the Number Two Sub-System, Liuli?】

Issue!

……

Not far from Jinshui Town, in a pitch-black dense forest.

Nun Liuli, who was heading at full speed toward the Ye Family in Jinshui Town and using the movement technique 'Wind Catching Style', suddenly paused her steps, her brows slightly furrowed.

She was staring at the blue light screen before her.

The task that had suddenly popped up on it made her blush a little.

【Task One: Given that your Binding Companion Ning Mu has low strength, it is inevitable that he will encounter some danger...】

【Task Two: To enhance your affection for your Binding Companion Ning Mu, take him to a certain temple to pay respects to the Buddha. However, on the way to the temple, and throughout the entire process, you must maintain the Empty Gap State, and you must inadvertently display your Empty Gap State in front of Ning Mu.】

【If you can display it in the Buddha hall, you will achieve the highest completion level!】

【Upon completing the task, you can receive a maximum reward of 1500 Cultivation Points, 150 Heroic Couple Points, and 1 Mysterious Grade Peerless Weapon: Phoenix Spirit Mysterious Quality Leather Whisk!】

【If the task fails, 50% of your Cultivation Points will be deducted, and your Charm Bone Constitution will deepen by 30%!】

【Phoenix Spirit Mysterious Quality Leather Whisk: Mysterious Grade Peerless Weapon. The handle is forged from phoenix bone, and the entire body is forged and refined from the skin of the exotic beast Kui Ox. It is suitable for Buddhist and Daoist techniques, and provides a small power bonus when used.】 【Note: It can also be used as a toy for play and teasing between a Xia Lu, which can appropriately enhance the affection between the two.】 This task appeared suddenly a few days ago.

It asked her to take Ning Mu to a temple, and she had to maintain the Empty Gap State, and let him see it.

To do such base things in front of the Buddha is a desecration of the Buddha and an insult to the Buddha Gate!

That is why she had been hesitating.

But this weapon made her somewhat covetous, as it has a power bonus for Buddha Gate techniques.

In other words, it is not much worse than a weapon that has stepped into the threshold of the Heaven Grade! And what made her blush was the suddenly appearing Task Three.

【Task Three: Before dawn, rush to the Ye Family mansion of Cangjian Villa in Jinshui Town, near the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower. Protect your Binding Companion Ning Mu well, do not let anyone disturb him, or even approach the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower, and do not let your Binding Companion Ning Mu suffer any harm!】

【Task completed, reward 1000 Cultivation Points, 100 Heroic Couple Points!】

【Task failed, 30% of Cultivation Points will be deducted.】

"Shameless!"

Pure as Liuli, upon seeing this task at this moment, she could not help but curse the system for being shameless.

Since he is this seat's Xia Lu.

Why must this seat go to protect him, with another woman? What is even more infuriating is.

This brat and Liu Qingmei are actually both so daring.

If this were to spread out, I fear the entire Jianghu would be filled with scandals about this pair of master and disciple.

Fortunately, this task is at least easier to accept than Task Two.

After cursing, she could only furrow her brows and quicken her pace toward the Ye Family mansion.

The distance was no longer far.

When she returned at noon, she found the residence empty, and after seeing the note left behind, she had been rushing toward Jinshui Town without stopping.

……

Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower.

Above the pavilion, in Ye Bufan's bedroom.

At this moment.

Dressed in red bridal attire and holding a Purple Gold Round Fan, Liu Qingmei sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze filled with a touch of desolation as she looked at the middle-aged man on the bed who was not moving a muscle.

"Ye Bufan, in this life, our fate ends here!"

Liu Qingmei sighed, then slowly stood up.

In this sigh, there was not much lingering attachment, but rather it was filled with longing for the future.

After standing up, she walked to the window, looking at the bright, glowing moon, her eyes gazing affectionately.

The moonlight was like water; she stood quietly before the carved window lattice, her eyes seemingly filled with anticipation for her beloved.

At this very moment, she wore light smoky makeup, the corners of her brows and eyes slightly upturned, as if declaring her hope for the new life about to begin.

On her head, an exquisite phoenix coronet shone brilliantly, the phoenix tail swaying gently. The rosy cape on her shoulders was like the most gorgeous clouds in the sky, draped over her delicate shoulders, flowing with a luster like water, making her figure appear even more graceful.

The Phoenix Coronet and Rosy Cape fit perfectly, revealing her graceful figure, her full and upright breasts holding up the red garment inlaid with gold thread.

Her face was graceful and clear, like a peony bud about to bloom, delicate and dripping.

Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, sparkling with anticipation and tenderness, her lips parted slightly, curving upward to outline a charming smile.

Her waist was slender and graceful, like a sentimental little stream.

The moonlight spilled onto her body, draping her in a layer of silver gauze, making her appear even more ethereal and dignified. Her hands, slender and soft, rested lightly on the window lattice, her fingertips touching the cold wood, yet seemingly conveying the fervor and expectation in her heart.

【Task Two: Does the hypocrisy of the Ye Family make you feel disgusted? Have you completely lost hope in the Ye Family? Have you stopped harboring any illusions? Have you decided to break with everything from the past and sever all ties with Ye Bufan? In the moment of being betrayed by everyone, did you think of your Xia Lu Ning Mu? Do you feel that only he is the greatest and most solid reliance of your life? Do you view him as the Xia Lu who will never betray you in this life? Then, hurry and act!】

【Task Details: Become one with your Binding Companion Ning Mu, cast aside the past, and firmly join him in the clouds and rain, like a pair of phoenixes singing in harmony!】

【Task completed, reward the Host 20000 Cultivation Points, 2000 Heroic Couple Points; reward the Host with an increase of one-half in cultivation; reward the Host with Heaven Grade Peerless Martial Art: Su Maiden Sword Technique*1, Heaven Grade Peerless Martial Art: Wanjun Shendang Spear Art*1; reward the Host with Heaven Grade Peerless Armor: Snow Flame Immortal Armor*2; reward the Host with Heaven Grade Peerless Weapon: Purple Cloud Heart Locking Sword*1, Heaven Grade Peerless Weapon: Ten Thousand Might Flame Dragon Spear*1; reward the Host with Essence Storage Pill*2; reward the Host with Youth Preserving Pill*2; reward the Host with Shape Molding Pill*2; reward the Host with Locking Acupoint Spinning Top Pill*2; reward the Host with Marrow Cleansing Pill*2; reward the Host with True Essence Pill*2; reward the Host with Essence Increasing Pill*2; reward the Host with Ice Fire Divine Throat Pill*2; reward the Host with Sitting Illumination Golden Pill*2; reward the Host with Divine Origin Golden Pill*2; reward the Host with Spirit Restoring Pill*2!】

【Prompt: This task can be refused!】

Looking at the task that had suddenly appeared on the task panel, Liu Qingmei felt incomparably calm in her heart.

If there were any ripples at all.

It was probably that these substantial rewards made her feel a bit dazzled! This task was not only generously rewarded, but it even had no penalty for failure.

In fact, this was almost the first task she had received so far that could be refused or abandoned!

But how could she possibly give it up? Even without these rewards, she had long since decided that today, in this very room, she would give herself completely to him!

Handing it over to that youth who was twenty years her junior, yet destined to be hers.

However, these generous rewards still made her eyes light up slightly.

As expected of the Xia Lu system.

At this very moment, she felt as if she had reached an epiphany.

At the moment she truly and completely surrendered her heart to her Binding Companion Ning Mu, even these rewards were doubled.

It was evident that this system was not some Outer Realm Heavenly Demon as she had misunderstood.

Rather, it was like divine assistance, an invisible sharp weapon destined to benefit both her and him!

Heaven-tier peerless martial techniques, Heaven-tier peerless defensive gear, Heaven-tier peerless Wuji...

Any one of these, if even the slightest rumor spread through the Jianghu, would incite a bloodbath, or even a Jianghu riot.

But now.

These Heaven-tier peerless items were all doubled! And as for the medicinal pills behind them, if one looked closely, they were almost all items to increase strength or enhance the affection between the Xia Lu! With these rewards, for her and for Ning Mu, even without the protection of the Ye Family, they would still be like a tiger with wings in their future survival! Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly.

Liu Qingmei's ears, shaped like half-moon lakes, twitched, and she immediately turned her head to look toward the doorway, her peach-blossom eyes, shrouded in moonlight and resembling autumn water, flashing with surprise.

He had finally come! After many days.

Stepping into this room that did not belong to him for the second time.

The first time, he was here and had almost stolen half her heart.

And this time.

He would, in this room that did not belong to him, completely possess her soul and possess the ownership of this room.

Creak~ Accompanied by the sound of the wooden door being pushed open from the outside.

The next moment.

One could only see a handsome and extraordinary youth draped in moonlight appearing at the doorway, his gaze filled with an unprecedented, undisguised excitement, staring intently at her.

"Ning-lang..."

Liu Qingmei took the initiative to call out, and then, like a fledgling swallow returning to the woods, she rushed from the window into the youth's embrace.

"Mei'er!"

Ning Mu lowered his head and bit Liu Qingmei's ear.

"Ning-lang, your Mei'er is finally completely free this time. This concubine knows I made you wait so bitterly, but you don't have to wait anymore!"

Liu Qingmei raised her head, her entire body leaning into Ning Mu's embrace, her passionate peach-blossom eyes radiating soft, watery affection as she looked up at the beloved man in her heart, her voice melodious and amorous, as if pleading and weeping.

"Do you want to do something to this concubine?"

Liu Qingmei's eyes were shimmering and enchanting, her delicate and bright face flushed with an alluring glow, shy and coquettish, yet full of longing.

"I do!"

"I want to, I want to make you completely my own!"

Ning Mu nodded without hesitation, his eyes filled with intense desire, as if he wanted to completely crush the jade-like beauty before him!

A flash of enchanting light suddenly appeared in Liu Qingmei's eyes, and a moving smile played on the corners of her lips.

Even though Ning Mu spoke so bluntly and explicitly, she felt no disgust in her heart, but rather an eager desire to try.

She wanted to as well! But.

She suddenly pushed away the beloved man in her heart.

"Presumptuous, you rebellious disciple, how dare you be so disrespectful to your master!"

Liu Qingmei's expression suddenly became stern.

Her face appeared filled with resentment, but her eyes brimmed with tenderness and anticipation.

"To blaspheme your mentor like this, is this how I have taught you in the past?"

Liu Qingmei flicked her sleeves, as if angry at his failure to live up to expectations.

Ning Mu was completely stunned for a moment.

It took him a long while to react.

At first, he really thought Liu Qingmei had suddenly changed, that everything before was just a disguise to complete the mission, and that it had only now truly erupted.

But when he noticed the subtle, shy smile in her eyes, he understood completely.

Tsk.

This was the essence of having fully mastered this matter after long-term influence! Immediately, Ning Mu chuckled, took out a long, thin leather strap, threw it directly to Liu Qingmei, and cooperated with a feigned ferocious grin: "As a mentor, one must not only teach by word of mouth but also lead by example."

Liu Qingmei looked 'humiliated', but a flash of undisguised excitement crossed her eyes.

She fastened the strap onto the small ring above the Moonlight Heart-Lock Ring.

She had said it; she had seen that something was wrong with the Moonlight Heart-Lock Ring at the time.

There was a small ring hanging on it.

Wasn't it meant for tying a rope?

Sure enough.

It really was.

If this had been a few months ago.

As a dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster and a daughter of the Liu Family, such a noble person, how could she accept such humiliation? But now, she accepted it willingly.

There was not a shred of resistance in her heart.

"Unh-huh~ Presumptuous, you wicked disciple, you truly have no respect for your elders!"

"Why, do you intend to do that kind of thing to your master?"

Liu Qingmei's peach-blossom eyes were filled with spring passion, yet her tone was filled with indignation.

Yet as she spoke, she, dressed in a fiery red Phoenix Coronet and Rosy Cape, took the initiative to climb onto the couch.

Ning Mu stood before the couch, looking down from above at this jade-like beauty.

On the couch, Liu Qingmei's eyes were shimmering, her complexion charming and alluring, and especially when she said those words, her body could not help but tremble.

"Master is actually still wearing such pantyhose and undergarments!"

Ning Mu smirked.

"Mm, it's not for you that I'm wearing them, don't overthink it!"

Liu Qingmei blushed, her eyes shining, unable to endure the shyness.

"Hmph, wicked disciple, if you dare, this master... this master will..."

"You, you have such great guts!"

"..."

That night.

A cool breeze blew.

The draft sweeping through the room was melted by the scorching temperature inside.

The bright moonlight gradually hid behind the clouds, seemingly too shy.

Downstairs.

Liu Xiaoya was completely dazed and at a loss, her bright little face flushed red and flawless.

The young master and the young lady are actually...

And doing it right here in the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower of Cangjian Villa!

This is the Villa Master's living quarters.

He would probably be so angry he'd come back to life even if he were dead.

The point is, why did the young lady and young master even leave the windows open.

The young lady didn't even know to suppress her voice at all.

Those soft, lingering, warbling cries of a swallow or oriole were carried far away by the gentle breeze.

At this moment, I fear the maids and servants, and even the Ye Family members, several yards away from this Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower, could all vaguely hear some movement.

Liu Xiaoya was so anxious she broke into a cold sweat.

If the Ye Family found out and all gathered here, wouldn't the young lady be pointed at and scolded by everyone! And at this moment.

In the darkness far away, sitting atop a rockery, Tong Yuyue had an expression identical to Liu Xiaoya's, her little face flushed crimson, and those bright phoenix eyes flickered with shyness and helplessness.

Can't this pair of shameless lovers show some restraint?

Liu Qingmei, oh Liu Qingmei, you usually seem so proper, how are you so wanton in your bones; you're even more wild than I am.

What on earth did Ning Mu do to you?

Is it worth losing your voice screaming like this, disregarding your image, your safety, and all sense of shame?

"Damn it, if this goes on, the husb— pfft, Ye Bufan will be woken up by your screaming!"

Tong Yuyue couldn't help but spit, staring with a red face and ears at the room on the second floor where candlelight flickered.

And just as she and Liu Xiaoya were both extremely worried.

Sure enough.

What was bound to happen, happened! In the distance.

Faint, scattered movements could be heard.

One could even see the light of torches growing brighter.

"Not good!"

Tong Yuyue frowned, whispered a worried exclamation, and then hurriedly flew down.

"Xiaoya, someone is coming!"

Tong Yuyue appeared once again at the entrance of the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower and said to the equally anxious Liu Xiaoya.

"Miss Tong!"

Liu Xiaoya was startled.

She had no mind to investigate how Tong Yuyue had suddenly appeared again.

After greeting her, she looked with a flushed face toward the torchlight that was gradually becoming visible in the distance, her expression changed immediately, and then she looked at Tong Yuyue, asking anxiously: "What do we do, what do we do!"

"If they find out, the reputations of the young lady and the young master will be completely ruined!"

"If this were a woman from an ordinary family, she would probably be drowned in a pig cage..."

Liu Xiaoya was incomparably worried.

Tong Yuyue knitted her brows; how could she not know these things?

Although she was still dissatisfied with Liu Qingmei for drugging her and sending her directly to Ning Mu's couch.

But in the end, this was an internal conflict between the two of them.

Moreover, for now, she did not dislike Ning Mu; in fact, she was quite fond of him.

She admired Ning Mu's talent, and even more his way of thinking; although he was a bit flirtatious and lecherous, well, he was a man, these were minor details that could be ignored.

With Liu Qingmei's protection, plus Ning Mu's talent, she had been completely conquered.

As one of Ning Mu's women, she naturally had to try every possible way to find a solution for them.

"No need to worry, damn it, why not just admit it openly?"

Tong Yuyue rolled her eyes a few times.

Seeming to have thought it through, she said to Liu Xiaoya: "The Ye Family was unrighteous first. Since the elder sister and I are no longer wives of the Ye Family and are no longer Ye Bufan's wives, it is only natural that we have found other men we love. No one can say anything about that. Besides, without the elder sister, does the Ye Family even dare to say anything?"

Having thought this through, Tong Yuyue gave a cold laugh.

"But... at this moment, the Young Lady and the Young Master are doing such... intimate things in Villa Master's room. If this gets out, it would still be quite inappropriate!" Liu Xiaoya said anxiously.

She blushed, her eyes shimmering.

She had wanted to say "illicit affair," but changed her words just in time as they reached her lips.

Using those four words to describe the Young Lady and the Young Master was not appropriate.

Tong Yuyue shook her head helplessly and said, "There is no helping it. I suspect this was done by the elder sister on purpose; she just wants to announce all of this to the whole world. Sigh, we must block them; don't let them rush in, otherwise the elder sister and Ning Lang will truly be too ashamed to face anyone!"

Liu Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Miss Tong said made sense.

She nodded immediately, looked at the crowd approaching in the distance, and said solemnly, "Alright! Even if this servant has to risk her life, I will never let anyone cross this threshold!"

Liu Xiaoya spoke with absolute certainty, her eyes flashing with a tenacious light.

In the distance.

On a rooftop.

Liuli, who had arrived long ago and was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes, looked at the scene below that tall building in the distance, and listened to the faint, ethereal gasps brought by the wind; her eyes could not help but become brimming and glistening.

"Sigh, is it necessary for this pair of master and disciple to make such a big scene?"

Liuli sighed speechlessly.

Then she closed her eyes again.

Listening to the sounds brought by the wind, she felt her own breathing become somewhat unstable, a dampness brimming and ready to surge.

With Liu Qingmei there, the people surrounding them were not enough to cause them harm, so there was no need for her to intervene.

If they really were to rush in, she could also rush over to rescue them at the first opportunity.

As long as no accidents occurred midway, and she waited quietly for dawn, everything would return to peace, and Task Three would be completed naturally.

"What is going on? Has the Villa Master woken up?"

At this moment.

At the entrance of the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower, many members of the Ye Family gathered together holding torches.

The servants and maids had all been driven away by them; except for the direct line of the Ye Family, no one could approach this place.

They were also worried that if the Villa Master woke up, the sudden commotion would have a negative impact on the Villa Master or the Ye Family.

Ye Bupo stood out, frowning as he looked at Liu Xiaoya and Tong Yuyue, his expression very ugly.

If the Villa Master really woke up, then all his efforts over these days would have been in vain.

But today, the Clan Elders were replacing the Villa Master to divorce his wife and expel Liu Qingmei from the Ye Family; at such a critical moment, it was very possible for Ye Bufan to wake up from his coma! Facing Ye Bupo's questioning and the stares of the Ye Family members.

Liu Xiaoya's brows flickered with embarrassment, and she hesitated, not knowing how to begin to explain.

At this moment.

Among the younger generation of the Ye Family, someone suddenly stood out and shouted, "It's not that the Villa Master has woken up; it's that personal disciple taken in by Liu Qingmei, the one who used to be a stable hand in our Ye Family stables, what was his name—Ning Mu, that's him, I saw him go in with my own eyes!"

My family, it's the last two days for double monthly tickets, please, please, please! Many of you old friends have already fulfilled your wishes, can I ask for a small wave of tips? (End of chapter)
