Chapter 130
Ye Yutan stood out from the crowd.
At this very moment, the sky was dark, and even with torches for illumination, the flickering, shadowy light could not reveal the gloom and jealousy hidden within his face and eyes!
More importantly.
At this moment, the thoughts of all the Ye Family members were entirely on the bird-like chirping and warbling coming from upstairs, as well as the somewhat unfamiliar male voice occasionally mixed in.
Hearing Ye Yutan's words, the crowd was suddenly startled, their faces turning pale with shock.
Looking at one another, they were all filled with disbelief!
As members of the Ye Family, they were quite familiar with Liu Qingmei, the former Manor Mistress.
Let alone the Ye Family members, even the disciples of Cangjian Villa, the servants and maids of the estate, and even the people of Jinshui Town—who did not know that Liu Qingmei had always been a woman who kept herself pure, possessed a heart like a fragrant orchid, and maintained her own integrity? Even with the Villa Master Ye Bufan, she rarely displayed any excessive intimate behavior in public.
Apart from Ye Bufan, in all these years, no one had ever seen her alone with any other man.
Except for the Personal Disciple she had recently taken in.
Yet at this moment, such a heaven-shaking secret was exposed?
Liu Qingmei was actually engaging in illicit affairs with her Personal Disciple, a stable hand who raised horses, openly in the room of the Villa Master Ye Bufan? How could this be possible!
That was Liu Qingmei! A dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster who shook the region, the legitimate daughter of the Liutang County Liu Family, and formerly the Manor Mistress of the Ye Family.
Her status and position were so high that they were enough to make the vast majority of women in the martial arts world look up to her, unreachable!
Such a woman.
Even if she were divorced by the Ye Family, she would still shine as brightly as the bright moon, and no matter where she went, she would be an existence that everyone had to look up to!
How could she, how could she possibly, how dared she engage in illicit affairs with a stable hand?
A dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster, being... by a stable hand?
This was too shocking! So shocking that for a moment, the entire open space in front of the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower, apart from the sizzling sound of the burning torches popping, emitted no other sound.
Even many Ye Family members forgot to breathe!
And Ye Bupo, standing at the very front, heard his son's words and immediately turned his head, looking at him with satisfaction.
In the end, he still knew how to turn back to the shore and understood that he was of the Ye Family's bloodline! But he did not understand.
The reason why Ye Yutan was targeting Liu Qingmei at this moment was, in the final analysis, nothing more than love unrequited and lifelong hatred.
Seeing his beloved goddess lying in someone else's arms, and even having her purity wantonly defiled by a man who was inferior to him in every aspect, the jealousy and anger that arose had simply blinded his reason.
"Good, very good! Liu Qingmei, you vicious woman, just after being divorced by my Ye Family, you actually openly engage in illicit affairs with others, and it's even a stable hand! You are simply unchaste and utterly shameless!"
After a moment of astonishment.
Ye Bupo immediately put on an appearance of righteous indignation and uncontrollable rage, shouting at the upper floor with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart!
"In my opinion, I'm afraid you've long been having an affair with that stable hand!"
"Scoundrel, you even dare to bring him into my second brother's room. You have no regard for old feelings at all and are openly turning against the Ye Family!"
"You poisonous woman, stop your illicit affairs immediately and get down here to kneel before my second brother and atone for your sins!"
Ye Bupo shouted angrily.
As he spoke.
Instantly, all the Ye Family members reacted.
That was the room of the Villa Master Ye Bufan.
And the Villa Master was currently unconscious.
Yet his former wife was in that room, performing such base acts with a stable hand.
For a time, the expressions on the faces of all the Ye Family members were incomparably angry and complex.
Empathizing with the Villa Master.
They all felt that as members of the Ye Family, they too had green hats on their heads.
And Liu Xiaoya and Tong Yuyue, standing on the steps, both had grave expressions.
When Ye Yutan called out that the one engaging in illicit affairs with Liu Qingmei upstairs was Ning Mu, they looked at each other helplessly, knowing that the severity of the matter was likely no longer something they could stop!
Sure enough.
As soon as Ye Bupo's voice fell, he immediately snorted coldly and said loudly: "How can my Ye Family suffer such a great humiliation in vain? Follow me and charge in, and make this pair of adulterers pay the price!"
Ye Bupo waved his arm.
Instantly.
The crowd responded.
"Charge! The Ye Family cannot bear this humiliation!"
"This is too much, we must be given an explanation, and the Villa Master must be given an explanation!"
"..."
Many Ye Family members were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring as they prepared to charge up the steps, break through the door, and make that pair of adulterers still upstairs in intimacy pay the price!
Tong Yuyue and Liu Xiaoya stood ready, looked at each other, and both activated their Cultivation Points, preparing for a great battle.
However.
Just as the Ye Family members rushed past the steps and had not yet approached the positions of Liu Xiaoya and Tong Yuyue.
Suddenly.
A cold, yet somewhat enchanting and unquestionable angry shout suddenly exploded in everyone's ears!
"Get out, all of you!"
"Anyone who steps into this building dies!"
Gasp! Everyone was stunned, standing in place, not daring to move.
At this moment, they finally realized that although the person upstairs was once the wife of the Ye Family, she was even more so a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Although she rarely displayed her strength in front of others.
Mei'er wants to have a child for her husband! (Seeking monthly votes, subscriptions!)
But she is, after all, a genuine, super-powerful expert who has stepped into the Zhuozhao Realm! In the entire Ye Family, aside from Qigu Ye Qingxian, who is still lying in a sickbed, if all of them were tied together, including the Clan Elders, I fear they would not be her match!
And even if Ye Qingxian were awakened at this moment, it would be of no use.
Not to mention that Ye Qingxian is severely injured.
The two were once even close best friends.
Whether Ye Qingxian could bring herself to take action is hard to say!
For a time, many Ye Family members looked at one another, not daring to take even half a step forward.
Ye Bupo's expression was filled with intense anger and unwillingness.
But it was as if a powerful force was suppressing him, making him unable to advance even half an inch.
To take this step would be to gamble with life and death.
"What is going on!"
At this moment.
One could see the crowd parting as several guards escorted three Clan Elders, rushing toward this side.
"Clan Elders."
"Clan Elders!"
"Three Clan Elders, that poisonous woman Liu Qingmei is actually having an illicit affair with a horse-tending servant, and it is even in the Villa Master's room; it is truly detestable!"
Ye Bupo hurriedly stepped forward to report.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Clan Elders changed one after another.
If this were to spread, it would be a shocking scandal for the Ye Family! Having just divorced her, to then have her call over a horse-tending servant to have an illicit affair in the Villa Master's room—one can imagine that Liu Qingmei is hurting the enemy by a thousand while damaging herself by eight hundred.
She has hatred! She wants to use the method of self-defilement to take revenge on the Ye Family!
The Great Elder sighed.
"Hmm~ Ye Family Clan Elders, allow me to borrow your precious land for a while. Once my beloved disciple and I are finished, we will naturally leave. If you wish to force your way in, then do not blame ah~ do not blame this Liu for not considering past sentiments!"
"Hiss... I will say it again: those who dare to step into this building will die!"
"Little Mu, Mei'er loves you so much! Mei'er was truly foolish to have been bound by this heartless and unrighteous family for nearly twenty years!"
Upstairs, Liu Qingmei's cold voice suddenly came again.
But this time, it was clearly not just speaking to those downstairs.
Interspersed in the middle were coquettish words for her lover.
"Preposterous, what kind of decorum is this, what kind of decorum is this!"
"Simply outrageous! Evil obstacle, what an evil obstacle!"
"..."
The three Clan Elders were all so angry they stamped their feet, flying into a rage, their canes leaving marks on the ground.
Yet, facing Liu Qingmei's unprecedented strength and eccentricity, aside from impotent rage, they could do nothing! "All of you, retreat! Within the perimeter of the Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower, do not let even a bird in!"
"Regarding today's events, if anyone present dares to leak even half a word, they shall face the clan rules!"
"Get out!"
In a fit of rage, the Great Elder slammed his cane down and turned to shout at the gathered Ye Family members.
Since they could not control Liu Qingmei's desire to use self-defilement to take revenge on the Ye Family.
Then they would order the Ye Family members not to spread the matter.
Family scandals should not be made public.
The crowd of Ye Family members scattered like birds and beasts.
And almost at this very same time.
Upstairs.
Liu Qingmei's voice, full of charm, could be heard faintly once more.
"Little Mu, you are so amazing!..."
!!!
The crowd of Ye Family members, as well as the Clan Elders, all left with dark faces, filled with indignation.
Ye Yutan was very unwilling.
His gaze carried deep resentment.
In the distance.
Watching such a farce finally come to an end, Liuli, who had been on high alert, relaxed slightly and returned to sitting cross-legged in meditation.
She had already stood up, preparing to come over.
Worried that Liu Qingmei might struggle to exert her Cultivation Points during that act of union, and that the Ye Family might take a desperate risk, their situation was still very dangerous.
But fortunately, the Ye Family did not have the courage to break the pot.
The night breeze blew, ruffling the moonlight and the heartstrings of the beauty. Accompanied by a hint of fish-belly white on the horizon, it gradually tore through the night sky; the crescent moon gradually dimmed and faded, hiding into the horizon.
Mountain Dwelling Sword Tower.
Looking at his graffiti masterpiece, Ning Mu was filled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Liu Qingmei had a rosy, pretty face and flushed skin.
Accompanied by the chilly morning draft, it swept through the entire room.
The scent permeated, carried far away by the wind.
"Are you satisfied? My beloved husband~"
Liu Qingmei could not open her eyes, but she still wore a charming expression, her tone filled with obedience and submissiveness, catering to his every whim.
Looking at Ning Mu, Liu Qingmei's pair of peach-blossom eyes were incomparably glistening, filled with a rosy glow.
"Mei'er is truly obedient, but the problem now is..."
Liu Qingmei was suddenly startled.
She hurriedly rose from the couch, wiped her eyes in a flurry, and simultaneously pulled closed the Phoenix Coronet and Rosy Cape ceremonial robes that had been wide open on her body.
The charm and allure on her face also vanished in an instant.
"Hoo!"
Liu Qingmei let out a breath of relief, her heart settling slightly.
Her goal was to let Ye Bufan and the Ye Family members know that she was no longer the dignified lady she once was.
But rather, Ning Mu's private slave.
Yet, while she could tolerate them knowing, she could not tolerate them seeing it with their own eyes.
Including Ye Bufan! She could be fawning, pleasing, and servile before Ning Mu.
But before outsiders, she remained that unattainable Martial Arts Grandmaster! "It's fine, no need to worry!"
Having received confirmation from the system, Liu Qingmei felt her heart ease, and she immediately turned her head to look at Ning Mu.
"Besides, this concubine is now the husband's woman, so why would the husband need to worry~"
Liu Qingmei blinked and gave Ning Mu a playful smile.
Hiss.
Ning Mu raised an eyebrow and immediately gasped.
This mature woman, under his influence, was learning too quickly! Every move and gesture seemed to grasp his preferences perfectly! "Master, do you want this concubine?"
Hoo! He was going crazy.
How could Ning Mu still hold back!
If such tenderness were to be let down, would it not be a lingering regret? Until the sky turned bright.
【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Two, engaging in intimate union with Xia Lu Ning Mu.

Whoa! Accompanied by a tiger-like roar from Ning Mu.
Liu Qingmei tilted her head back, her long black hair cascading like a waterfall; her fair, slender neck was covered in a brilliant rosy glow, and the Moonlight Heart-Lock Ring, worn with a leather strap, made her slender neck look even more eye-catching and dazzling.
Her mind went completely blank.
It was only after a long while that she slowly regained her senses.
"Husband, from now on, Mei'er is all yours!"
Liu Qingmei wept with joy and took the initiative to embrace Ning Mu.
That softness pressed against his chest, making Ning Mu's heart wander once again.
However.
This night had been non-stop; even if the beauty had no regrets, it could not continue any longer.
After all, the sky had already brightened!
"Mm, you are mine!"
Ning Mu nodded gently.
At the same time, he checked the System Interface for the notifications he had just skipped.
【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei has completed Task Two. Feeding back the task reward to the Host, you have gained 1,000 Cultivation Points and 10% of Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value!】
【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei has completely released her inner shackles.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei has successfully completed all stage tasks, reaching the stage of absolute loyalty to the Host (irreversible), becoming a true Xia Lu relationship.

【Notification: Because Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei's Loyalty is 100% (Absolute Loyalty), from now on, 1% of Liu Qingmei's cultivation progress will be fed back to the Main System in the form of Cultivation Points. Please be aware!】
【Notification: Liu Qingmei's cultivation has increased, feeding back to the Host; the Host has gained 308 Cultivation Points!】
Tsk! Looking at this series of system notifications, Ning Mu's eyes lit up.
Although compared to the rewards of the Number One Sub-System, he had only received 1,000 Cultivation Points.
But the actual harvest was far more than that!
Not to mention that Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value had already reached 100%, the stage of absolute loyalty!
Just this 1% feedback alone!
Was enough to make him excited!
Although it was only 1%, the sheer volume was immense.
Moreover, this was only the Number One Sub-System.
What about the future Number Two, or even Number Three and Number Four!
Ning Mu immediately kissed Liu Qingmei on the face in excitement, not minding that she was covered in his scent.
And at this moment, Liu Qingmei.
Was equally incomparably excited.
She opened the system panel to check.
Xia-Lu A System Bound Host: Liu Qingmei Age: 38
Cultivation: Sitting Reflection Realm 【Grandmaster】 (21600/51200) + Martial Arts: Earth-Tier Willow Leaf Sword Technique (Perfect) +, Earth-Tier Questioning Water Sword Art (Great Success) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique Jade Spring Fish Leap (Minor Success) +...
Current Tasks: Task One, Task Three, Task Four...
Binding Companion: Ning Mu
Strategy Value: 100 Cultivation Points: 30800 Heroic Couple Points: 2874 Couple Black Market: Opened
Warehouse: Heaven-Tier Supreme Martial Art: Su Maiden Sword Technique *1, Heaven-Tier Supreme Martial Art: Wanjun Shendang Spear Art *1; Heaven-Tier Supreme Armor: Snow Flame Immortal Armor *2...
Whoa! Liu Qingmei's heart surged with emotion, pleasantly surprised and ecstatic! This final task had provided her with over thirty thousand Cultivation Points directly.
If all these Cultivation Points were added to her Cultivation Points, she could now directly break through the Sitting Reflection Realm and step into the Shenyuan True Person Realm! How long had it even been?
In a mere few months, she had gone from a Zuozhao Rumeng to a powerhouse comparable to the True Human Realm! Terrifying! At this moment, Liu Qingmei no longer knew how to describe her own feelings! Truly.
Her own intuition was correct.
Ning Mu might appear to be just a horse-tending servant in the Ye Family manor, but he was a genuine Destined Son! Even considering it from a utilitarian perspective, following him would bring her only benefits and no harm! And the warehouse was stacked with a pile of peerless-grade medicinal pills, as well as various Heaven-tier peerless-grade Wuji, cultivation arts, and more!
Immediately.
Liu Qingmei did not hesitate, not bothering to use the resources to improve her own cultivation or arts, but instead, the first thing she did was extract the Heaven-tier peerless-grade Wanjun Shendang Spear Art, the Snow Flame Immortal Armor (male), the peerless-grade Wuji · Ten Thousand Might Flame Dragon Spear, and various other medicinal pills from the warehouse, throwing them directly to Ning Mu.
"Husband, take all these cultivation arts, weapons, armor, and these medicinal pills, and strive to improve your strength as soon as possible!"
"I saw you wielding a spear last time, Husband, and it was so handsome. This Ten Thousand Might Flame Dragon Spear and this Wanjun Shendang Spear Art are just right for you!"
Liu Qingmei's beautiful eyes were like silk, looking at Ning Mu with a bright sparkle.
As their intimacy deepened, the way she addressed him changed accordingly.
At this very moment, it was as if Liu Qingmei's heart and eyes were filled entirely with the young man before her.
Before her, as if by magic, there appeared out of thin air a long spear that was fiery red all over and seemed to contain the faint sound of a dragon's roar, along with a cultivation art, a piece of close-fitting soft armor, and many medicinal pills! Regarding Liu Qingmei's "gift," Ning Mu nodded and accepted it without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing Ning Mu accept her gift, the joy in Liu Qingmei's peach-blossom eyes grew even more intense.
When one loves a person enough.
Even if one gives everything, one is still happy!
Of course.
She did not give away the medicinal pills that were not very suitable for Ning Mu.
For example.
Youth Preserving Pill: Can delay the aging of the user's appearance tenfold, keeping the user's appearance in its peak state; as the medicinal power is absorbed, the skin becomes more hydrated and lustrous. Recommended for women.
Shape Molding Pill: Can sculpt the user's physique and figure to be more perfect; as the medicinal power is absorbed, one becomes increasingly graceful and elegant, like a celestial being. Recommended for women.
Ice Fire Divine Throat Pill: Can grant the user an Ice Fire Divine Throat... Recommended for women! Such pills were either of little use or completely useless to Ning Mu.
But after she took them herself, the benefit to him would be immense.
And what made Liu Qingmei somewhat depressed was the last type of medicinal pill rewarded.
Spirit Restoring Pill: After consumption, it allows the user to fully recover from injuries and restore their internal energy; the effect of this pill is divine and extremely precious! This pill...
While Liu Qingmei was checking the information on the various medicinal pills rewarded by the system.
Ning Mu had already picked up the fiery red, incredibly handsome Ten Thousand Might Flame Dragon Spear and twirled it in a few beautiful spear flourishes in the room.
This spear was excellent!
It was almost a perfect fit for him; every move could be executed as easily as moving his own arm, and its weight was practically custom-made, not feeling the least bit too heavy for him!
"Not only is my spear-wielding handsome, but it's also accurate!"
Ning Mu sheathed the spear, looked at Liu Qingmei's lower abdomen, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said with deep meaning, implying something.
Liu Qingmei was startled.
Then her face turned charming and delicate, her gaze alluring, and she said softly: "Husband is so amazing, it really is accurate. I truly hope that this time I can conceive, Mei'er wants to bear a child for Husband~"
"Husband, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Liu Qingmei looked at Ning Mu with hope.
It was as if she were truly pregnant.
"Either is fine, as long as it's born by you, I will love it!" Ning Mu smiled gently.
Of course, he preferred a girl.
But this era was different; boys were more favored by parents. The limitations of the era were set here, and there was no way around it.
Should he wake up, you all decide.
Leave a comment, 1 for wake up. 2 for not wake up.
