Chapter 13: 13 Doing This Task, I Betray My Husband!

"Hmm?"

"My Lady, is the breakfast not to your liking?"

Beside the dining table, Ye Yufu, the Steward of the Ye Family inner manor, saw the Lady suddenly frown, a flicker of displeasure crossing her brow, and he hurriedly spoke to inquire.

Liu Qingmei smoothed her brow, waved her hand, and said, "It is nothing, I just thought of some distressing matters. Fu Bo, you may go about your business."

Setting down her bowl and chopsticks, Liu Qingmei rose, took the tea offered by a maid to rinse her mouth, and then left the dining room.

"Xiaoya, go and call Ning Mu here."

"Yes."

Liu Xiaoya received the order and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

At this moment.

Liu Qingmei suddenly called her to a halt.

"Bring Chunzhi and Xia Chan along as well. Check them to see if they are still virgins!"

Liu Qingmei's face was somber, her brows tightly knitted.

Seeing the Young Lady's gloomy expression, Liu Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat; realizing the matter seemed somewhat serious, she dared not be playful and immediately went to carry out the order.

But she could not help but mutter to herself.

Is the Personal Disciple the Young Lady took in truly so absurd?

In just one night, he could make both sisters, Chunzhi and Xia Chan, simultaneously...

Or could it be that he relied on his status as a Personal Disciple to force Chunzhi and Xia Chan to serve him? Liu Xiaoya quickened her pace, frowning slightly, a trace of regret flashing across her brow.

If it were truly the latter, she would have become a sinner in the hearts of Chunzhi and Xia Chan!...

Liu Qingmei, meanwhile, returned to her study, sat before the desk, and remained silent, thoughts dancing in her eyes.

She had received several new tasks.

However.

Compared to the previous tasks, one of these was clearly not something that could be completed in a short time.

【Main Task One: Keep your Binding Companion and Personal Disciple, Ning Mu, by your side and instruct him frequently (Task duration: three months; maintain proximity within sight for at least ten days each month). Help him improve his Cultivation Points to at least the Tongmai Realm. Task completion reward: 500 Cultivation Points, 150 Heroic Couple Points, and one Earth-Tier weapon: Seven Star Flowing Rainbow Sword! Task failure: loss of one-fifth of your Cultivation Points.】

【Task Two: Give Chunzhi and Xia Chan to your Binding Companion, Ning Mu, as his bedchamber maids. Task reward: 100 Cultivation Points, 50 Heroic Couple Points! Failure: Chunzhi and Xia Chan will become estranged from the Host.】

【Task Three: Put on the Heavenly Silkworm Black Ice Silk Stockings... Task completion reward: up to 500 Cultivation Points, up to 200 Heroic Couple Points, and the reward accessory: Purple Frost Mysterious Jade Pendant! Task failure: Heavenly Silkworm Black Ice Silk Stockings disappear, and the five senses are sealed for half an hour.】

【Task Four: Promise him that you will only take him as your disciple in this life. Task completion reward: up to 750 Cultivation Points, up to 250 Heroic Couple Points! Task failure: Husband Ye Bufan's injuries worsen by one-third (possible death).】

Looking at the task list.

After reading and understanding it carefully.

Anger, humiliation, unwillingness...

Various emotions flashed one by one in Liu Qingmei's lacquer-like peach-blossom eyes.

But in the end.

It only resulted in a soft sigh, and she had to accept reality.

The first task was understandable; as a Personal Disciple, instructing him and helping him improve his cultivation was quite normal.

Moreover, the reward was quite generous.

Even the Ye Family could not produce many Earth-Tier weapons.

Receiving an Earth-Tier weapon upon completing the task was truly an unexpected joy.

Although the second task was a bit excessive, it was not impossible.

If she did not complete it and Chunzhi and Xia Chan became estranged, it would be better to simply give them to him to relieve his loneliness.

But the third task was truly outrageous! To think she must let Ning Mu touch her while she wears the Heavenly Silkworm Black Ice Silk Stockings.

And looking at the rewards, it was clear that the longer the duration or the better the experience, the more generous the reward.

As for the punishment for failure, it was heart-stopping.

Having the five senses sealed for half an hour.

If they were truly sealed, would she not become a lamb for the slaughter during that half-hour? If Ning Mu had impure intentions, would he use this half-hour to treat her even more...

Thinking of this, Liu Qingmei could not help but feel a murderous intent. But in the end, she had to forcibly suppress it.

As for the fourth task...

Liu Qingmei felt as if her strength had been drained, leaning back in her chair, staring blankly at the roof beams.

Doing this task would be a betrayal of her husband! But if she did not do it, her husband might die.

A dilemma!

As for the task rewards...

She calculated that if all were completed to the maximum, she could increase her cultivation by another 1500 points, and with the Heroic Couple Points, she could reach the Zuozhao Minor Accomplishment Realm.

In this way, she would be one step closer to Breaking Through Shenyuan and achieving the status of a True Person! Enough!

If she was going to do it, she would do it perfectly!

She was merely doing this to improve her cultivation, absolutely not because she had any improper thoughts about Ning Mu! Liu Qingmei took a deep breath, found a flawless excuse for herself, and the natural look returned to her beautiful peach-blossom eyes; a glimmer of light flashed slowly as she sat up straight.

"My Lady, Young Master Ning has arrived!"

At this moment.

Liu Xiaoya's voice rang out from outside the room.

"Let him in."

Hearing the cold, emotionless voice from inside the room, Ning Mu nodded to Liu Xiaoya, then lifted his robe and stepped in calmly.

Liu Xiaoya gazed deeply at Ning Mu's back, then shook her head and turned to go to the room next door.

Chunzhi and Xia Chan were looking at each other.

Both saw panic and shyness in the other's eyes.

When Liu Xiaoya entered, the two immediately held their breath and hurriedly greeted her with trembling voices.

"Chunzhi, Xia Chan, do you know why the Young Lady summoned the two of you here together?"

Liu Xiaoya stared at the two with piercing eyes, wanting to discern something from their expressions.

Clearly, she did not need to look; she already had a seventy percent judgment in her heart.

Flustered expressions, eyes containing allure, unfocused brows, and light postures.

It could almost be concluded that both had lost their virginity last night.

"Please, Sister Xiaoya, enlighten us..."

Xia Chan gathered her courage and looked at Liu Xiaoya with an apprehensive face.

Liu Xiaoya frowned and asked: "Did the Young Master favor you two sisters last night?"

"Yes..."

Chunzhi and Xia Chan both lowered their heads, their faces flushed red.

Just as expected...

Liu Xiaoya could not help but sigh, saying helplessly: "Was it the Young Master forcing you, or were you willing?"

"Sister Xiaoya, we were wrong... It was not the Young Master forcing us; we were willing... Sister, the Young Master is very doting toward us, unlike other Young Masters in the manor who treat us maids like blades of grass. The Young Master is very benevolent, so... we are willing!"

Xia Chan fell to her knees with a thud, actively pleading.

Her sister Chunzhi, who was not good with words, also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The two had flustered expressions, their eyes filled with a deep longing, hoping to be fulfilled.

Hearing that it was not the Young Master forcing them, Liu Xiaoya could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At least the Young Lady's Personal Disciple was not a lecherous flower-plucking thief.

There is an essential difference between being forced and being passive!

Men, after all, desiring beauty is normal, but it must be taken with restraint.

If he were licentious and unrestrained, forcing Chunzhi and Xia Chan, that would be a different matter! "You two get up. I have no right to interfere. This matter still needs to be reported to the Young Lady for a decision. You two wait here. Later, after the Young Lady finishes discussing matters with the Young Master, I will go over. At that time... I will speak for you two as appropriate. Sigh..."

Looking at the tearful Chunzhi and Xia Chan, Liu Xiaoya could not help but sigh and shake her head, feeling a sense of frustration that they would not live up to her expectations.

But deep in her heart, she could not help but have the figure of Ning Mu emerge...
