Chapter 167: 167 Bodice, Underpants, and a Painting of a Court Lady? (Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Liuli blushed to the tips of her ears.

After her voice fell, she flipped her palm, and a pitch-black medicinal pill appeared in her hand.

"Husband, take this."

As she spoke, Liuli reached out her palm, her crimson face hanging with a hint of embarrassment and panic, her expression flickering as if she were doing something shameful.

"You wouldn't be trying to feed me some poison, would you!" Ning Mu feigned a look of surprise.

Liuli was startled.

She immediately reacted, realizing that her current appearance really did look like a wicked wife poisoning her husband.

Her complexion changed slightly, and her eyes flashed with awkwardness as she said in shame and annoyance, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"

"This is, this is a medicinal pill, something to nourish Qi and blood, and to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang. What kind of person do you take me for, Husband? I just saw that you were too exhausted last night, so I..."

Liuli's face was flushed red.

She rolled her eyes.

This heartless man, what did he take her for! Liuli felt a bit annoyed in her heart.

Ning Mu chuckled inwardly.

He naturally knew what this was.

Over these days, he had eaten quite a few, some given by Liu Qingmei, and some he had exchanged for in the Black Market.

If it weren't for these Essence Storage Pills.

How would he have so much energy to spend every night with these stunning beauties?

He would have been squeezed dry long ago.

"So that's how it is."

Ning Mu feigned a look of sudden realization, then took the pill and swallowed it.

As the medicinal power of the pill dissolved within his body.

In an instant.

He felt his physical strength recover, becoming vigorous and spirited once again! This time.

I can take on ten more!

Ning Mu was filled with heroic spirit.

But for now, he would quietly appreciate the beautiful nun, the Purple Star Scripture Recitation, and her pious worship of the Buddha.

Ning Mu rubbed his chin, sat down leisurely, and then stared at Liuli with great interest.

This rascal! Why is his gaze so lecherous? Can't he be a bit more gentle and calm!

Liuli felt incredibly awkward in her heart.

But the arrow was on the string, and she had to fire.

The Wooden Fish was ready.

Her monastic robe was open.

Liuli had no choice but to blush, simply closing her eyes so that what she didn't see wouldn't bother her.

Then.

She gave a light cough.

And then.

She held the Wooden Fish Mallet in one hand and tapped it lightly.

Clack.

"Listen carefully!"

A voice, crisp and sweet yet tinged with shyness, drifted out of the bedroom.

The little demon Su Youyou, who was standing respectfully outside, immediately lowered her head in piety.

Although.

She was not willing.

But demons are controlled by others.

She had to obey.

"... In the ten directions of the world, birds and beasts call to one another..."

Accompanied by each phrase of Buddhist chanting, the sounds continuously emanated from Liuli's opening and closing lips.

Instantly.

The entire room seemed to be permeated with a radiant Buddhist aura.

Outside the door, the little demon Su Youyou's expression gradually calmed down, and those fox-like eyes were even filled with piety.

But compared to the formality and seriousness outside the room.

The scene inside the room.

was somewhat unbearable to look at.

"... Those who preach the Dharma hear it all here. In those Brahma heavens, the light-sound and the all-pure, ah~"

"Even, even up to the summit of existence, the sound of speech, mm-hng~"

"The, the Dharma master dwells here, and hears it all."

"..."

One could see Liuli with her eyes covered by a black veil, tapping the Wooden Fish while chanting.

Only her complexion was exceptionally rosy.

Her body, which had been sitting cross-legged, had at some point changed to having her legs stretched out, with the Wooden Fish placed between her knees.

The other hand transformed into that Buddha-probing sacred hand.

Right before Ning Mu's eyes, it probed the profound meanings and essence within the Buddha Gate.

And Ning Mu, while quietly admiring it,

opened the system to issue tasks to the three sub-systems respectively.

First was Liu Qingmei.

【Do you wish to issue the following task to Number One Sub-System?】

"Issue!"

【Task One: Zhu Yaluan spends her days in the stronghold doing nothing, even secretly scouting the layout and defenses of Ningyang Stronghold, as well as the training methods and vertical management system; this is intolerable.】

【Task Details: Keep her busy so she has no opportunity to engage in such petty conduct; order and pressure her to curry favor with your Xia Lu, Ning Mu.】

【Process of Currying Favor: Includes but is not limited to verbal flattery, behavioral stimulation, etc.; you must ensure at least a certain range of physical contact, as well as the expression of phrases such as "Don't do this, I have a son!"】

【Task Reward: Depending on the task completion, you can obtain up to 5000 Cultivation Points and 500 Heroic Couple Points!】

After finishing issuing the task to Liu Qingmei,

watching Liuli perform the Purple Star Scripture Recitation, Ning Mu's gaze flowed with admiration.

Next.

He opened Sub-system No. 3.

Binding Companion object for Sub-system No. 3: Wei Youqing

Age: 18

Gender: Female; Height: 170; Temperament: 95; Measurements: 34F; Loyalty: 22% (Friendly); Cultivation Points: Inner Profound Realm (31611/32000)+; Martial Arts: Earth-Tier Inner Contemplation Nourishing Qi Technique (Great Success)+, Earth-Tier Shangyang Taiyin Finger (Great Success)+, Heaven-Tier Low-Grade Flower-Folding Moon-Gazing Sword Formula (Great Success)+, Earth-Tier Movement Technique Flying White Light Goose Movement Technique (Great Success)+, Earth-Tier Golden House Manual (Minor Success)+; Current Task: None

Binding Companion: Ning Mu

Cultivation Points: 0; Heroic Couple Points: 50; Xia Lu Black Market: Opened

Warehouse: No items currently

Operation Record:...

The Loyalty Value was only 22%.

But the measurements were quite proud.

Recalling the attitude Wei Youqing displayed during the first task, a wicked smile could not help but appear on the corner of Ning Mu's mouth; he pondered in his heart, edited the second and third tasks, and then issued them.

【Do you wish to issue the following task to Sub-system No. 3?】

"Issue!"

Next, only the Number Two Sub-System remained, which was Liuli Shitai, who was currently performing for him.

Ning Mu was in no rush to issue it to her.

Instead, he watched quietly, waiting for Liuli to find the supreme shore of Buddha Dharma within the ocean of exquisite Buddhist studies and under self-consolation.

"All, all the Bhikkhu assembly, and all Bhikkhuni, ugh~"

The mysterious Buddhist sound continued to slowly burst forth from Liuli Shitai's lips.

And outside the room.

Su Youyou, who had intended to sit cross-legged piously and quietly listen to the baptism of the Buddhist sound to cleanse her bewitching demonic heart,

had her expression turn somewhat strange.

Although these chanting words were full of Buddhist nature, why did this pretty Buddhist nun chant so strangely? It was normal at the beginning.

The Buddhist sound permeated, ethereal and hidden in the heart, making her immerse herself in the long Buddhist sound, unable to extricate herself.

But gradually.

The scripture being chanted not only had its power greatly reduced.

Interspersed within it was even a hint of pleasure that made one's heart excited and intoxicated.

Much of the Zen intent was gone.

But it had gained much lingering affection and relief of the spirit.

That kind of sound was as if...

She had once accidentally overheard her mother, in the dead of night, whispering to herself while alone.

This Buddha Gate nun and her own Young Master, could they be doing something unspeakable inside?

For a moment.

Su Youyou's mind raced, and she could not help but recall the scene that had occurred outside just now when she was hiding in the cabinet.

A Buddha Gate nun,

actually being pressed to the ground by a dashing young man and whipped vigorously!

At this time.

It was hard to say if that scene was happening inside right now.

This pretty nun used chanting as an excuse, but while chanting, let the Young Master ravage her... isn't this blaspheming the Buddha? Su Youyou could not help but raise her eyebrows.

Once this thought arose, she could no longer calm her heart.

Although the ethereal Buddhist sound was as deep as the sea, every time it was transmitted, it could cause her heart to fluctuate.

But once distracted and focused on this, she could no longer sink into that sea of Buddha.

"If one reads and recites the classics, if one speaks for others, the Dharma Master dwells here, mm~ all, all get to hear it..."

Accompanying this Mahayana Wonderful Dharma Sutra, which was about to enter its concluding stage.

Ning Mu was sitting upright on the grand armchair.

Suddenly, directly opposite him.

A column of water, like a water dragon leaving its cavity, surged forth.

It suddenly shot out.

It didn't even give him a chance to react.

That slightly viscous, scalding hot column of water splashed onto his chest and knees, soaking the brocade robe he had just put on.

Not only that.

The couch.

Also instantly turned into an ocean.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Three. Reward: 1000 cultivation points, 100 Heroic Couple Points, and an additional reward of Nine-Turn Divine Origin Pill Fragment * 0.5!】

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, the quantity of Nine-Turn Divine Origin Pill Fragments is sufficient. You may synthesize them into one complete pill to break through to the Divine Origin realm!】

"Whoa!"

The water column struck suddenly, and Ning Mu was startled into jumping up.

He looked at the beauty on the couch with an expression of disbelief.

Amazing! Is this the power of a natural Charm Bone?

Incredible! Since arriving in this world, he had seen all sorts of heroines and beauties, women of peerless charm.

But never had there been one who could be like Liuli Shitai.

Just by relying on herself, she actually managed to spray right in front of him! Too awesome! He had found a treasure! As expected.

He had long since realized it.

A woman with a natural Charm Bone is like a lotus rising from the water.

And at this moment.

Liuli was sprawled limply on the couch, completely devoid of her usual composure.

Her elbows could no longer support her fragrant, white, and delicate body, and she lay flat.

Her eyes, faintly lingering with Buddha-light, stared blankly at the ceiling.

Her fair, delicate cheeks were flushed with the rosy clouds of afterglow.

She seemed to still be immersed in that ethereal world, created by herself during the chanting of scriptures, where the Buddha-light shone everywhere, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

Her limbs twitched occasionally and unconsciously.

This highlighted the immense pleasure she had obtained during this session of chanting.

Ning Mu leaned in close.

He gathered her slender, soft, and honey-scented body into his arms.

Then, biting her ear, he teased, "They say women are made of water, but in my view, even if you poured out all the water of the Han River, it wouldn't compare to a ten-thousandth of you, Shitai!"

"Hoo~"

Whether she had finally reacted or if it was Ning Mu's voice that completely awakened her.

Liuli lowered her shy gaze, her face flushed and charming as she lay in Ning Mu's arms, unable to stop herself from letting out a soft breath.

Then.

She burrowed completely into Ning Mu's arms, burying her head deep.

She said in a muffled, ashamed voice, "Mm~ I'm so embarrassed!"

At this moment, Liuli could not be more awkward and ashamed in her heart.

This matter was completely beyond her expectations.

She never thought she would make such a fool of herself.

To actually be able to spray.

It was simply absurd.

If she had known earlier, she definitely would not have immersed herself so deeply to complete this task, or she would have thought of other ways to complete it.

She knew in her heart.

Actually, the main reason was that there was an extra person outside.

With Su Youyou, that fox demon she had never met, guarding outside, it naturally added a bit of unspeakable stimulation.

"You don't know how much I love it. What's there to be embarrassed about? Even if you are, it's only in front of me, what's there to fear?" Ning Mu gently stroked Liuli's smooth shoulders and back, smiling to comfort her.

Hearing this.

The red-faced Liuli couldn't help but peek up, revealing half an eye to stare at Ning Mu.

"Really?"

"More real than real gold!"

"But, I am a nun, yet I am so... base. Husband, don't you think I am wanton and promiscuous?"

Most of Liuli's flushed face was revealed.

Her eyes held shyness, sparkling as she stared at Ning Mu, filled with hope, as if wanting to know the definitive answer.

Slap! Ning Mu frowned immediately.

Liuli couldn't help but tremble, then covered her buttocks, glaring at Ning Mu with a pout of resentment.

It was as if she were questioning him why he hit her.

Ning Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "What kind of talk is that?"

"This doesn't mean you are wanton; on the contrary, to a man, this is a particularly welcome constitution, and I like it very much!"

"Besides, what does it matter if you are wanton and flirtatious in front of me? As long as you don't give other men a second look, your husband couldn't love you enough."

Holding Liuli's slender waist, Ning Mu said with a smile.

"Mm~ Bad man!"

Liuli's eyes flashed; she didn't respond directly, but instead lay in his arms and lightly punched him a few times with her small, pink fists.

But that delicate, pretty face, and the sweet smile revealed in her eyes, had already provided the answer.

"How bold, daring to say bad things about your husband; look at what you've done to your husband's body!"

"Lick it clean!"

Ning Mu looked at Liuli with a wicked smile.

His palm lingered on her plump, fleshy area.

"Mmm~"

Liuli felt a numbness in her heart instantly, her gaze rippling like the clear water of a lake.

She gave Ning Mu a weak look, then immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, following Ning Mu's request to clean up the water she had accidentally spilled on him.

On the other side.

After the sky had fully brightened.

Wei Youqing walked out of the house and stretched.

She hadn't slept well at all last night.

Her heart was too flustered.

Plus, she had spent the whole night researching the system.

At this moment, she looked a bit exhausted.

"Hah!"

With a light shout, Wei Youqing directly channeled her Cultivation Points, shaking off the exhaustion from her body, and then began to practice boxing in the open space in front of the house.

On the small path not far away, villagers would pass by from time to time, heading to the back mountain to work.

Suddenly.

Wei Youqing, who was practicing boxing, was suddenly stunned, her pretty face turning slightly red, and her clear, water-like eyes flowing with strands of hard-to-dispel shyness and bewilderment.

【Notification: You have a new task waiting to be selected!】

【Task One: The shock of the love poem has made your Binding Companion Ning Mu realize that you are also a slim, proper young lady of age; ripples have already stirred in his heart for you, so why not take this opportunity to thoroughly deepen the impression you have on him!】

【Task Details: Please choose one of the following three options to express your intentions to your Binding Companion.】

【Option One: Gift the Silk Lace Patterned Bodice you just took off to your Binding Companion, and express your admiration to him, longing for your relationship to progress further!】

【Selecting this item: Reward 700 Cultivation Points, 70 Heroic Couple Points, and receive an additional Silk Lace Patterned Bodice; if the task fails, the Host's Cultivation Points will decrease by twenty percent, the cultivation speed will decline according to the degree of the decrease in Cultivation Points, and the breasts will increase by one size.】

【Option Two: Gift the underpants you just took off to your Binding Companion, and express to him...】

【Selecting this item: Reward 800 Cultivation Points, 80 Heroic Couple Points, and receive an additional Black Mysterious Lace Patterned Leg-Shaping Stockings; if the task fails, the Host's Cultivation Points will decrease by thirty percent, the cultivation speed will decline according to the degree of the decrease in Cultivation Points, and the buttocks will increase by one size.】

【Option Three: Gift a Spring Palace Lady Painting drawn by your own hand to your Binding Companion, and express your admiration...】

【Note: The Lady Painting must be drawn strictly according to the system's sample image standards; if you attempt to conceal anything, it will be considered a task failure. 【You may click here to view the sample image via mental control】】

【Selecting this item: Reward 1000 Cultivation Points, 100 Heroic Couple Points, and receive an additional one hundred erotic books; if the task fails, the Host's Cultivation Points will decrease by fifty percent, the cultivation speed will decline according to the degree of the decrease in Cultivation Points, and sensitivity will increase threefold.】

【For the three options of Task One above, please make a selection as soon as possible; if no selection is made after half a quarter of an hour, the system will randomly select one for the Host!】

Wei Youqing was completely numb.

What kind of bizarre task is this! The key is, it even makes her choose!

She clearly knew that for any of these choices, given the thoughts cultivated by her upbringing and training at the Academy, it was extremely difficult to speak of.

Why not just force a task on her directly.

Why make her choose between these three? This is too much!

The first option, give a bodice.

The second option, give underpants.

Whether it's a bodice or underpants, these are items a daughter should not show to outsiders, not even her father.

What's more, it has to be one she just wore.

Trying to find a loophole and buy two new ones is impossible.

This is simply impossible to complete!

And this third option, a self-painted lady painting... if it weren't for those two words in front, or the system's additional requirements, it wouldn't be impossible.

After all, women in the Imperial City, if they have someone they admire, often gift a self-painted lady painting to express their feelings.

But, after she saw the system's sample image, she immediately blushed with shame.

This.

Isn't this just a Spring Palace Painting!

Making her draw this kind of picture of herself and then give it to him? This is too much!

Looking at these three options, Wei Youqing fell into deep entanglement and bewilderment for a moment, along with an unresolvable sense of shame.

She jumped onto a rock in the open space in front of the house, then sat down, hugging her knees with both hands, her brows tightly furrowed, almost squeezed together, her brow ridge forming a 'chuan' character.

So conflicted! Even so, she never thought of resisting.

Instead, after seeing the task information clearly, she began to compare in her heart what she should actually choose.

Watching the time stipulated by the system slip away bit by bit, Wei Youqing's cheeks were flushed red, and a layer of fine, fragrant sweat even broke out on her forehead from anxiety.
