Chapter 134: Shitai wouldn't want the monks to know about this either, right

Suddenly.

Liuli's entire body shuddered.

Immediately, her face felt as if it were burning.

A pair of beautiful eyes were filled with an unmelting watery mist, darting away to the side.

With a soft moan, "Mm~," Liuli closed her eyes in shame, her whole body going completely limp, as if she had transformed into a fish on a cutting board, left to be handled by Ning Mu.

"Shitai, you are so wanton."

Suddenly, Ning Mu's voice rang out by her ear.

In an instant.

Liuli froze completely, her body tensing up straight; she kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them, and her breathing became rapid.

"Could this be what the Buddhist path speaks of: form is emptiness, emptiness is form?"

Ning Mu continued to tease.

???

Liuli was stunned for a moment, taking quite a while to regain her senses.

A supreme Buddhist truth, in the mouth of this brat, had actually become such absurd words?

But at this moment, she had no heart to dwell on it.

A strong sense of shame surged into her heart, making her whole body tremble faintly, unable to control her emotions.

"I beg you, please show mercy with your words..." Liuli closed her eyes, leaning her entire body against Ning Mu, whispering and pleading.

She truly could not stand this reckless verbal teasing anymore.

And just at this moment.

Suddenly.

Both Liuli and Ning Mu were practitioners of profound cultivation, and their perception of the outside world was already several times greater than that of ordinary people.

Let alone the sound of dripping water.

Even the flight path of a mosquito or fly could be clearly perceived.

What's more.

"Tsk, Shitai~" Ning Mu continued to tease.

Liuli immediately began to squirm restlessly.

"Stop it, stop it, I told you to stop... Whatever you want to do, just do it quickly, don't waste time, okay~"

Liuli's tone carried a hint of tearful complaint, thirty percent pleading, and seventy percent of a desperate, "all-in" boldness.

But the next moment.

Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, wide and round.

"Mm~ Don't, don't!"

Liuli pressed her hands against Ning Mu's chest, wanting to push him away; in her haste, she even forgot that her own strength far exceeded Ning Mu's.

"Didn't Shitai say to let me be quick?"

"No... that's not what I meant!"

"Bastard! Hurry up and put your clothes on yourself, I'll wait for you outside!"

Liuli was shocked and pale, but soon, reason regained the high ground; a trace of Cultivation Points filled her hands, and she pushed Ning Mu away directly, gritting her teeth, her brow filled with annoyance and shame.

Before her words had even faded, she fled like an escapee, flashing out of the master bedroom.

Her fluttering sleeves, lingering with a trace of fragrance and Buddhist aura, were left behind here completely.

Ning Mu was pushed onto the couch, but he was not in a hurry, merely smiling calmly and composedly.

At this time.

Outside the door, Liuli, who had just left, happened to brush past Liu Qingmei.

Seeing Liu Qingmei, Liuli's brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes.

For some reason, she felt a sense of having an affair and being caught by the legal wife, which made her heart incredibly chaotic, and she left the place with swift steps.

Liu Qingmei was fine.

But when she noticed the place where Liuli Shitai had passed.

Her eyes could not help but freeze slightly.

The dignified Divine Nun of Ciyun, not to mention breaking into her husband's bedroom early in the morning, she actually...

Could it be that her husband had actually... the Divine Nun of Ciyun, who was at the Half-Step Divine Origin realm?

This was too terrifying, right? She was a person of the Buddhist path, a nun!

Folk legends said that rashly laying a hand on a nun would shorten one's lifespan!

Liu Qingmei's eyes were immediately filled with worry.

But she didn't even realize herself that, beyond this worry, her heart inexplicably felt a bit of excitement and stimulation! If one could take the dignified Divine Nun of Ciyun into the bedroom.

Not to mention the benefits this would bring.

Just watching the Divine Nun, who was usually high and mighty, like a fairy from the nine heavens, entwined and entangled under her husband, two hearts lingering in love—this visual enjoyment, and the psychological vanity and pride, was enough to give one an unprecedented sense of achievement.

That was the Divine Nun of Ciyun.

High and mighty, the top female powerhouse of her generation! If she were to return to secular life, many young heroes in the martial arts world would likely go crazy for her! "Husband~"

Stepping over the threshold of the master bedroom, Liu Qingmei called out softly in a charming voice.

Seeing that Ning Mu had not yet put on his clothes, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she approached with extreme charm.

"Has husband relieved himself?"

While picking up his clothes, Liu Qingmei looked at the chamber pot under the bed.

"Fuling, take it." Ning Mu shrugged, appearing completely natural.

In truth, at the very beginning, he had also been a bit reserved.

But later, he had developed the habit while with Ning Xiaoxiu.

He could never go back to life without this kind of extravagance.

Liu Qingmei was not the least bit surprised either.

In this era, among men with any status at all, who didn't keep a group of female slaves, including those specifically tasked as chamber maids to assist the master with relieving himself?

"Today, this concubine will go and take inventory of the supplies with Huang Yutang, and then see how many disaster victims are willing to follow. I will let Yutang lead them over. Oh right, there are also about a dozen Hidden Sword disciples willing to follow us to Ningyang Mountain. Husband, do you think we should bring them along, or?"

Liu Qingmei stepped forward, picked up his clothes, and served Ning Mu as he dressed, while asking at the same time.

"Are they all men?" Ning Mu asked.

If they were all male disciples, then it was very likely they were spies planted by the Ye Family.

But if there were both men and women, the probability of them being planted was much lower.

However, this was also just a guess.

After all, aside from Liu Qingmei, Ning Mu posed no threat to the Ye Family, or rather, the current Ye Family could barely look after itself, so it was unlikely they would set their sights on him.

Of course, it was hard to say.

After all, he had abducted both of their Villa Master's wives.

He had even staged a night of wild passion right on their Villa Master's sickbed.

It was very possible they held a grudge against him.

"There are both men and women, and a few of the female disciples are quite pretty. If you like them, Husband, this concubine could play matchmaker..." Liu Qingmei said directly, without even thinking.

In her impression, Ning Mu was the type of man who couldn't live without women.

So she instinctively assumed that her husband wanted to take in a few more female disciples to serve him in the bedroom.

Ning Mu felt a chill.

He immediately turned and pinched Liu Qingmei's fleshy cheeks, scolding playfully: "What are you thinking? I'm just worried about whether they might be spies planted by the Ye Family. After all, the hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable!"

Ning Mu smirked.

Liu Qingmei was stunned, then her pretty face flushed slightly, a strange glint flashed in her peach-blossom eyes, and she shyly scolded: "Knowing it's irreconcilable, how did you, you brat, dare to do it?"

"The Grand Master is still alive, yet you dared to woo the Master, and even made a move on the Master right before the Grand Master's sickbed. Your guts are not ordinary, you brat~"

Liu Qingmei covered her mouth and giggled, her peach-blossom eyes filled with tenderness.

This was, of course, a joke.

"It was clearly you, Master, who took the initiative. Think about it carefully, almost every single time it was you, Master, who took the initiative to seduce this disciple, right? How dare you turn the tables and blame me?" Ning Mu immediately retorted.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingmei's pretty face instantly flushed red, she rolled her eyes with glistening gaze, and coquettishly scolded: "Yes, yes, yes, it was all this master being wanton and seducing you, hmph~"

Liu Qingmei let out a coquettish huff and sniffled in a very cute manner.

And at this moment.

Ning Mu looked at her with an expression of surprise.

"That's not right, Mei'er, how come I find you've become a bit different today?"

"Where is it different?" Liu Qingmei was startled, then felt a little joy in her heart, her peach-blossom eyes fixed on him, radiating expectant light.

A woman adorns herself for the one who delights in her.

Weren't the effects of pills like the Shape Molding Pill and Youth Preserving Pill meant to make her husband look at her a few more times! She naturally longed to hear words of praise for herself from her husband's mouth.

"Hmm, I can't quite put my finger on it, it just feels like your figure is more perfect overall, and your skin has become much more radiant. You look even younger than before, and full of vitality. If someone said you were A Yin's younger sister, I reckon some people would even believe it!"

Looking at Liu Qingmei's perfect gourd-shaped figure, with its alluring curves, he couldn't help but comment.

"Go to hell, younger sister indeed!"

Liu Qingmei couldn't help but let out a coquettish scold, but the joy in her eyes was plain to see.

Then, she said happily: "Husband, I have already broken through the Sitting Reflection Realm, and am now at the Shenyuan Initial Stage!"

After finishing, her eyes sparkled with expectant light, just like a child longing for praise.

After a night of accumulation, the cultivation points provided by the Essence Increasing Pill and Divine Origin Golden Pill she swallowed last night had accumulated to over fifty thousand, and she had added all the cultivation points to her cultivation this morning.

Cultivation: Divine Origin Realm 【True Person】 (52108/204800) + She was now at the Shenyuan Initial Stage, which was much higher than Liuli's strength.

However, there was no comparison.

After all, Liuli was at the Half-step Divine Origin Realm; for a martial artist like her, once she broke through, her strength would be much stronger than an ordinary Divine Origin Realm martial artist.

She might even have the strength to fight a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm.

This was the reason why the Half-step realm was so respected! Strength and cultivation were never something that could be represented by a string of numbers!

Although he had known for a while, Ning Mu still gave her face by saying "Wow," and then followed up with a barrage of flattery, making Liu Qingmei beam with joy, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth.

Having received her husband's praise and feeling satisfied, Liu Qingmei's face looked charming.

"Husband, rest assured, those dozen or so disciples are almost all my trusted aides; it is impossible for them to be planted by the Ye Family. Right now, the Ye Family is struggling to look after itself and won't target you for the time being. However, I am worried about A Yin; if the Ye Family sends a message, she might foolishly run back."

Mentioning Ye Yin, Liu Qingmei's tone was filled with worry.

Ning Mu nodded in deep agreement and said: "Tong Shankuang is heading to the Imperial Capital Linzi on this trip. I have asked A Yin to accompany him and have already secretly instructed him to be sure to look after A Yin. I suppose there should be no trouble; I fear the Ye Family's news cannot reach that far for the time being. You can also write a letter and have someone send it over to explain the situation and let A Yin be on guard."

Liu Qingmei nodded and said: "Husband, that's a good idea. I will go write a letter to her now."

Liu Qingmei's eyes brightened slightly, and after leaving a light lip print on Ning Mu's face, she was about to leave.

Suddenly, she looked outside the door and asked suspiciously: "Husband, Divine Nun Ciyun..."

She didn't say the rest, but Ning Mu understood what she meant.

"Cough, do you still remember what I said to you?" Ning Mu coughed dryly and said.

Liu Qingmei was stunned, but immediately remembered.

That was the night the Blood Lotus Sect members suddenly visited, coming to look for Ning Xiaoxiu.

At the time, my husband had once spoken bluntly that he wanted to pull the Divine Nun Ciyun down from that high Buddhist altar, make her return to secular life, and willingly prostrate herself beneath him.

But at the time, Liu Qingmei did not believe it in the slightest.

After all, a nun as noble and pure as Divine Nun Ciyun, a Half-step Divine Origin Realm quasi-True Person, the closing disciple of Poluo Chanshi, and a master of Buddhist teachings—with all these identities combined, she was a person as noble as an immortal descended from the heavens; how could she be swayed by love? This was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

But now.

How much time has even passed?

The situation has undergone such a shocking, heaven-defying transformation.

She witnessed with her own eyes Divine Nun Ciyun leaving her husband's room early this morning.

This...

What kind of ability does my husband have to make a nun like Divine Nun Ciyun lose her heart to him?

People of the Buddha Gate are most wary of love.

Yet Divine Nun Ciyun, despite the risk of defying Poluo Chanshi and the holy precepts of the Buddha Gate, still insists on being intimate with my husband in secret.

This is just too heaven-defying!

A thick sense of surprise and shock flashed through Liu Qingmei's eyes.

"That is Divine Nun Ciyun... the closing disciple of Poluo Chanshi... how is this possible!?"

Liu Qingmei still found it hard to believe this reality.

It is no wonder she was so surprised.

Saying that Divine Nun Ciyun would like a man and be willing to become a man's plaything.

Is just like telling Liu Qingmei that Ning Mu is actually a woman.

Absurd and completely unrealistic.

After all, for so long, the image of Liuli had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts; how could she? How was it possible?

Ning Mu shrugged and said with a self-satisfied look: "Why not? Sincerity can open even metal and stone. Human hearts are made of flesh, and all things in the world, as long as they have a spirit, have self-awareness. As long as one is persistent, there will always be a moment that can move her. Often, a single moment can determine a person's entire life."

"What's more, a woman like Liuli Shitai, who has long been immersed in the pure cultivation of the Buddhist Dao and has never experienced the beauty of the world, actually has a more innocent heart at the bottom, making her easier to move."

Ning Mu smiled, glanced outside, and then lowered his voice to talk eloquently.

These nonsensical words made Liu Qingmei freeze for a moment, and then a look of "so that's how it is" appeared in her eyes.

It might really be like that! After all, apart from the task factors, she herself was also mostly moved by her husband's words and actions.

Liu Qingmei comforted herself this way and completely believed Ning Mu's words.

"Alright, but you must also grasp the proper measure. You must never be rash. Don't think everyone is like me, allowing you to do as you please. If you happen to make her unhappy, that would be a disaster!"

"She is fine, I am now capable of contending with her, but behind her, there is still an old monster who has lived for eight hundred years!"

Liu Qingmei was still a bit uneasy and urged him with earnest words.

"Mm, don't worry, I have a sense of measure." Ning Mu smiled.

What a joke, how are you any different from her?

Under the restrictions of the Sub-system, isn't the measure firmly in the hands of himself, who possesses the Main System?

"I shall take my leave."

Liu Qingmei said goodbye and then left the room.

She still had many things to do today.

After Liu Qingmei left, Ning Mu checked the system and also leisurely walked out of the room.

Cultivation Points: 530, another 530 cultivation points gained.

【Notification: Number One Sub-System holder Liu Qingmei's cultivation has improved. Based on the one-percent feedback ratio, 530 Cultivation Points have been fed back to the Host!】

This was like finding something for free, which made Ning Mu feel an unexpected joy.

Standing at the entrance of the hall, looking around, he saw Liuli meditating and calming her heart on the roof of the outer courtyard.

That back profile was moving and fragrant.

"Shitai, is something the matter?"

Ning Mu smiled, then used his movement technique, lightly tapping the ground for leverage, and flew onto the roof, then sat beside Liuli, looking at her teasingly.

Liuli slowly opened her eyes, and a flash of helplessness and shyness crossed her deep eyes.

Then she said softly: "Little friend, this trip away from Yonghang will likely keep you away for a long time. This poor nun wishes to accompany you, but after all, I am a person of the Buddha Gate, so before leaving, while there is time today, I would like to invite you to go to Jikong Temple with me to pay respects to the Buddha, and by the way, it can be considered an inspection to see if the Work-for-Relief measures in Jikong Temple are being carried out properly. I wonder if you are willing to go together?"

Liuli casually found an excuse about inspecting the Work-for-Relief.

After all, among the many temples, Jikong Temple had the largest scale of Work-for-Relief and the highest number of Laborers.

"No problem, it just so happens I have nothing to do today, so I'll keep you company, Shitai." Ning Mu shrugged and smiled.

"Then let us set off."

Liuli's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stood up.

Only.

Ning Mu's gaze was fixed on the roof tile beneath Liuli's feet.

"Shitai..."

"Shut up!"

Liuli was immediately annoyed and ashamed; without waiting for Ning Mu to speak, she blushed and forcibly scolded him to interrupt.

This rascal.

As soon as he opens his mouth, nothing good ever comes out! She also knew that she had been meditating here for a while.

This rascal was definitely going to use this to tease her.

Having been forcibly interrupted, Ning Mu was not angry, but instead touched his nose in embarrassment, staring with a strange expression at this blushing, graceful, and charming young nun.

"Are we going or not!"

Feeling thoroughly uncomfortable under Ning Mu's gaze, Liuli could not help but roll her eyes.

She did not even realize herself that her tone had involuntarily taken on a hint of the coquettish annoyance that only exists between lovers.

The look in this brat's eyes was simply enough to break one's defenses.

She felt as if she had been stripped bare and was being admired right before his eyes.

The key point, more importantly, was this.

Aside from this trendy Bodhi Jade Lotus Zen Robe, she was indeed wearing nothing underneath...

This feeling made her feel very flustered.

But for some reason.

Deep within her heart, a surge of indescribable excitement arose, as if there were a strong sense of challenge that made her somewhat look forward to what would happen next.

"Let's go, let's go. Are we going on foot, or?" Ning Mu laughed heartily, then pointed at the old driver who was cooling off under the shade of a tree, dozing away.

Liuli worried that this brat would play dirty again like last time.

Recalling how she had been pulled into his embrace and fondled while on the old driver's back, she could not stop her face from flushing with shame.

Immediately, she subconsciously shook her head and said, "Let's walk!"

Ning Mu shrugged and smiled indifferently.

For him, either way was fine.

Riding the old driver had its own joys of travel.

Walking there also had its own way of having fun.

Ning Mu smiled immediately and said calmly, "Fine, but Master, I have a small request that I hope you can satisfy."

"What?"

Liuli became instantly vigilant, glaring at Ning Mu, terrified that he would come up with some strange and bizarre scheme again! "It's nothing major. I have a good thing here that can nourish yin. If you, Master, wear it, I will spend the whole day today keeping you company, how about that?"

Ning Mu smirked and took that thing out.

Looking at the round, pitch-black bead in the other's palm—which seemed to emit multicolored light under the sun and was the size of a pigeon egg—Liuli's beautiful eyes flickered.

"How is this thing worn?"

Ning Mu did not respond, but his gaze shifted downward.

Liuli was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned beet red.

She originally wanted to shout and scold him.

But suddenly changing her mind, she revealed a charming smile and teased, "This nun has not yet broken her palace pill; does the little friend really want my palace pill to be given to such a small bead, rather than to you?"

"..." Ning Mu was speechless for a moment and sheepishly put the bead away.

*Cough. *

Careless.

Forgot about that.

He often played this way with Liu Qingmei and Chunzhi, so he subconsciously wanted to try it on Liuli.

Wearing prayer beads to worship the Buddha is only natural, after all.

He had even been looking forward to a different experience.

"Let's go, let's go, pretend I said nothing." Ning Mu waved his hand sheepishly.

But immediately after, he looked at Liuli and smirked, "Then when does Master plan to give your palace pill to me?"

Liuli's pretty face could not stop blushing; she glared at Ning Mu and immediately tapped her toes, landing directly on the ground.

This incorrigible fellow.

How could he ask such a question? How was she supposed to answer that?

Not to mention that she was unwilling, even if it really reached that point, she could not be the one to say it out loud.

How embarrassing! Ning Mu was not annoyed; he laughed heartily, jumped down, and then walked alongside Liuli.

The two of them walked all the way toward Jikong Temple like this.

Because of Liuli's Empty Gap State, it was not appropriate to fly in this busy market; otherwise, if any small stall owner or passerby looked up, they would be able to see everything clearly.

A nun in an Empty Gap State, walking with a young and handsome man—if this were to spread, the storyteller's desk would likely gain another piece of material, and it would probably be even more sensational than the news of the Ye Family divorcing their wife.

It was not until noon.

That the two stepped into the mountain gate of Jikong Temple.

Two young novices responsible for greeting guests were standing in front of the mountain gate.

When they noticed a man and a woman approaching, one of them was about to step forward to recite a Buddhist chant and lead them in.

But the other novice beside him pulled his companion back.

"Junior Brother Xingneng, go quickly and report to the Abbot Zen Master; that 'granny' is here again!"

"Amitabha, she, she, she... I almost misjudged; I thought it was a pair of pious believers. Senior Brother, block them here for a moment; I will go report it now!"

The young novice called Xingneng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly rubbed his eyes. When he saw clearly that the person arriving was the Divine Nun who had overturned the Daxiong Baodian and beaten the Abbot black and blue a while ago, he was shocked, exchanged a few words with his senior brother, and then hurriedly turned and ran up the mountain.

Seeing that they had stepped into the grounds of Jikong Temple.

Liuli felt incomparably nervous in her heart.

Wearing only a Zen robe with nothing underneath in an Empty Gap State, coming to worship the Buddha and tour the temple—even if the Buddha worshipped in this temple was not the Bodhi Buddha she believed in—she still felt incomparably terrified.

But amidst the terror, deep in her heart, a strand of demonic thought seemed to be slowly germinating.

"Master, you wouldn't want them to know that you have nothing on underneath, would you?"

At this moment.

Ning Mu smirked, leaned close to Liuli, and whispered into her ear using sound transmission.

"Mm~"

Liuli's Buddha body trembled suddenly, and her deep gaze instantly became hazy.
