Chapter 209: The Sorrow of the Libationer, Activating the Fourth Sub-system

"The Admonitions for Women consists of seven chapters: Humility first, Husband and Wife second, Respect and Compliance third, Wifely Conduct fourth, Single-mindedness fifth, Curved Compliance sixth, and Uncle and Younger Sister seventh."

Upon the dais.

She had shed her outer garment, leaving only a transparent silk gauze long dress, and underneath, a Mysterious Silk Silver Chain Pouch, and Mysterious Silk Pearl Underpants.

Her fair, flushed skin radiated layers of alluring rosy light.

Her pink, tender cheeks were also covered in a deep blush.

And as Wei Youqing entered the door.

Ning Mu could not help but shiver.

He then patted the full-bodied Su Youyou and Su Zuozuo, the two sisters.

The sisters understood his meaning, and from behind the tiger-skin armchair, they slipped into the back hall in a flash.

Wei Youqing, for her part, acted as if she had seen nothing at all.

After some pleasantries, her complexion gradually turned red, dripping with charm.

Then, under Ning Mu's expectant gaze, her lips parted slightly, and she began to recite the contents of the Admonitions for Women.

"Husband Ning, the content I am to recite today is the seventh chapter, 'Uncle and Younger Sister'."

Having said this.

Wei Youqing respectfully stepped forward, handing over the Ruler with both hands, along with the full text of the Admonitions for Women she had copied out herself.

She had even thoughtfully turned the pages for Ning Mu to the content of the seventh chapter.

Seeing Ning Mu pick up the Ruler and the scroll, and nod gently in approval.

Only then did Wei Youqing, with a blushing face, slowly open her mouth and begin to recite.

"A woman's favor with her husband depends on the love of her parents-in-law; the love of her parents-in-law depends on the praise of her husband's younger sisters..."

At first, it was quite smooth.

Gradually, it became more fluent, and Wei Youqing's confidence grew, hoping that this time she could finish reciting the seventh chapter completely in one go, without any accidents in the middle.

In the previous six attempts, almost every time, she had received some form of punishment.

The time she made the fewest mistakes was when reciting the fourth chapter, 'Wifely Conduct', where she still made three errors.

And the long-standing errors had caused her body to be marked by the Ruler.

Her palms were bright red.

Not to mention her breasts, which were swollen.

As for her buttocks...

That was even more severe.

Therefore, she prayed that she could recite this seventh chapter in one breath.

It was also thanks to the war between Ningyang Stronghold and Fenglei Stronghold these past few days that she had more ample time to prepare.

"... As for the sisters-in-law, their status is equal and honorable, their kindness distant but their righteousness close. If a virtuous and humble person, then she can..."

Soon, she had recited nearly half of the full seventh chapter.

Inadvertently, she looked up, her face flushed red, a glimmer of pride in her eyes, and looked at Ning Mu.

Seeing Ning Mu looking at her with an expressionless face.

He threw the Ruler directly onto the ground, right by her feet.

Suddenly.

Her previously fluent and smooth recitation came to a halt.

Would he be angry? If she made absolutely no mistakes, wouldn't she miss the chance to be intimate with Husband Ning?

Although this kind of punishment was hard to speak of.

But it could not be denied that it was very stimulating, wasn't it! Perhaps Husband Ning was also looking forward to her making a mistake, and then...

Once this thought occurred.

Wei Youqing's face was charming, her eyes shimmering, and her recitation subconsciously stuttered.

"... then she can rely on righteousness to be devoted, exalt kindness to form alliances, making virtues manifest, and... and flaws hidden, the parents-in-law praising her goodness, and the husband cherishing her beauty, her reputation shining... shining in the neighborhood, and her glory extending to her parents..."

Time passed slowly.

Wei Youqing's voice grew lower and lower, more and more seductive.

Filled with shyness and trepidation.

"... The Book of Songs says: 'There, there is no evil; here, there is no dislike.' This is what it means."

As the last word spilled from her lips.

At this moment.

In this large council hall, the atmosphere had long since become amorous.

And Wei Youqing, not knowing when, had coyly sat on Ning Mu's lap, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, filled with bashfulness.

"Mm~ Husband Ning, this slave, this slave has finished reciting."

She pressed down on Ning Mu's hand.

Feeling as if she could hardly catch her breath, Wei Youqing spoke in a delicate voice.

Her face was also as red as blood.

"Oh? How many mistakes did you make today!"

A faint smile played on the corners of Ning Mu's mouth, his other hand slowly dropping from her smooth, pretty back.

Suddenly.

He grabbed a few times.

In an instant.

Then, one could see Wei Youqing's eyes shimmering and dancing, her body trembling slightly.

Immediately following, she subconsciously relaxed the defenses of her hand pressing against him.

"Mm~ wrong, wrong so much, so much!"

"This humble one is guilty, to have actually recited even the most basic *Admonitions for Women* incorrectly; I am truly unworthy of being an Imperial Academy Libationer, I beg Ning Lang to punish me!"

Wei Youqing spoke in soft, melting tones, overcome with unbearable shame.

How could she have failed to recite it? She could guarantee now that if she were allowed to do it again, she could recite it backward fluently and completely, without the slightest pause.

It was merely to satisfy Ning Lang, this psychology of playful intimacy.

Of course.

In truth, deep down, she was also incredibly expectant of this act of playful intimacy, only hindered by her reserve and the constraints of propriety, she had always remained 'passive'!

"Since you were wrong so much, then how do you say today's punishment should be handled?"

A wicked smile hung on the corners of Ning Mu's mouth.

"Mm~"

Wei Youqing let out a delicate moan, lowered her head in shame, and her whole person almost curled into Ning Mu's embrace, as if she wished to crush her own body completely and then melt into him.

"If I keep hitting here, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit down tomorrow, will you?"

Ning Mu applied a slight force to the hand that Wei Youqing was sitting on.

"If this were known by others, that the dignified Imperial Academy Libationer, the Disciple of the Master revered in the hearts of all our Great Qi scholars, was actually punished for reciting a text wrong until both cheeks were red and swollen, making it hard to sit, I'm afraid it would make people laugh their teeth off!"

Ning Mu teased with a wicked smile on his lips.

These words made Wei Youqing's beautiful body tremble violently again and again; she let out a whimper, almost crying.

But Ning Mu seemed not to notice, continuing to tease her with his words.

"Or here?"

Ning Mu tapped the plump place on her chest and continued to tease with a wicked smile: "But this place isn't quite right either; it's already big enough as it is. If today's punishment goes through, I'm afraid you won't even be able to wear your clothes tomorrow. When you can't fasten the buttons of your Ranshan, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

"I'm afraid someone would say: 'Look quickly, that Imperial Academy female Libationer is truly big, is this a Disciple of the Master? She is simply a wet nurse for a child in name and reality!'"

"A-Qing, do you think it will be like this?"

Ning Mu continued to stir Wei Youqing's emotions.

"Mm~ I beg you, stop! A-Qing is not like that, not a wet nurse for a child... sob, sob, sob~"

Wei Youqing could no longer suppress the shame in her heart.

Immediately, with a blushing face, she buried herself in Ning Mu's embrace and sobbed.

This kind of shame gave her a sense of panic as if walking in hell, but for some reason, amidst the panic, a strong, indescribable, and ineffable stimulation rose from the bottom of her heart.

Could it be that she was truly born to be such a base woman? Wei Youqing could not help but waver in her heart.

"Mm~"

Suddenly.

Her eyes, filled with tears, snapped open, and a flash of thunder-like shock passed through them! Startled.

She clearly felt that, just as she was in a daze, her soul overturned and dreaming.

That final line of defense.

Could actually no longer hold up, resisting the invasion of the enemy army.

She herself. Actually, just like this, while sitting on this tiger-skin chair with her beloved, let him penetrate through.

Wei Youqing was instantly stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

She could only blankly hug Ning Mu's neck, her whole body stiff, tensing her beautiful frame.

Hiss...

As she was crazily squeezed by the infinite knowledge, as if an ocean of knowledge was striving to wash over every inch of her soul.

Ning Mu could not help but tightly close his eyes.

He exhaled slowly.

He leaned against the smooth, soft tiger-fur cushion of the tiger-skin chair.

Then.

He savored the impact of the knowledge brought to him by this Imperial Academy Libationer.

It is unknown how much time passed.

The sky was about to turn dark.

Liu Qingmei walked into the side hall from the backyard and saw Ning Mu standing in front of the conference table; she was just about to open her mouth to call him to go to the backyard for dinner.

But immediately.

A flash of surprise and joy crossed her eyes.

Then, a thick layer of shyness floated into her eyes.

This stinky brat, without a sound, actually did a big thing! This is the Disciple of the Master, the Imperial Academy Libationer! Even the Qi royal family has to treat her with great courtesy; even ordinary princes and princesses have to be respectful in front of her.

Such a proud daughter of heaven, even if her Cultivation Points are not too formidable now, she is still as dazzling as the bright moon above the nine heavens.

Whoever can obtain her favor.

It is not just that their ancestral graves are smoking with blue smoke.

To use her husband's words, it must be that the ancestral grave has exploded.

She really wants to check where her husband's ancestral home is, whether his family's ancestral grave is still there, and if it really exploded.

Otherwise.

How could even a proud daughter like Wei Youqing, at this very moment, be like a flower-street willow-alley courtesan.

Actually lying like this on the table where the Mountain Stronghold's high-level officials usually hold meetings.

Is it like a surging tide, rising and falling?

Does it even make a sound like waves crashing against a flying boat?

Standing behind the curtain of the side hall, Liu Qingmei silently observed this scene, completely concealing her own aura so as not to startle the two people currently engaged in a meeting discussion at the large conference table in the hall.

With her current Cultivation Points, hiding her cultivation so that no one would discover it was simply too easy, a piece of cake.

Even Wei Youqing, a Disciple of the Master, could not possibly discover it.

Not to mention that at this moment, Wei Youqing was still in a state of bewilderment.

"Madam..."

At some unknown time.

Liu Xiaoya appeared in the side hall.

Seeing that the Madam had gone to call the Young Master but had not returned for a long time, Liu Xiaoya had come to see what was going on.

But she did not expect.

After entering the dim side hall through the small back door.

She discovered that the Madam was actually standing stealthily behind that curtain.

She could not help but call out subconsciously.

But the next moment.

Her gaze flashed, and she immediately understood why the Madam had been delaying.

The sounds coming from the conference hall made her face flush slightly.

Was the Young Master doing big things again?

Who was the big thing today? This kind of gentle, refined, and rhythmic sound.

Only one person in the entire Mountain Stronghold could make it.

That Disciple of the Master, the Imperial Academy Libationer, Wei Youqing.

"Roar!"

And just as Liu Xiaoya called out.

In the hall.

Ning Mu suddenly let out a tiger-like roar.

Having changed positions, Wei Youqing supported herself with the wooden pillar, her body displayed in an extremely graceful posture.

And Ning Mu was behind her.

Holding her legs.

"Mm!"

Wei Youqing was startled! Who was talking in the side hall?

She instantly snapped out of that extreme rhythmic tide, closed her eyes in shame, and subconsciously hid herself behind the wooden pillar.

She also could not pay attention to it.

The flame belonging to Ning Mu was burning within her body.

"Quick... clothes!"

Wei Youqing blushed, so ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole on the spot and hide herself in it.

Especially when she noticed that from behind the side hall curtain, the mistress and servant pair, Liu Qingmei and Liu Xiaoya, walked out with smiles on their lips and soft, affectionate gazes, staring intently at her, she felt even more trapped.

Her dark hair, which Ning Mu had used as reins to ride the horse, messily covered her face.

Her head was hidden tightly behind the wooden pillar like a quail.

Her fair, exquisite, and curvaceous body, glowing with a red flush, was trembling like a leaf.

She could only mutter, attempting to get Ning Mu to fetch the clothes that had already been torn to shreds, to cover her shame.

But.

Ning Mu was extremely calm.

He withdrew with composure, then immediately smiled and beckoned to Liu Qingmei and Liu Xiaoya, who had already approached.

The mistress and servant understood each other perfectly.

They immediately approached in unison, then gently and affectionately knelt down.

Then.

Right in front of Wei Youqing, who was hidden in her hair but had opened a slit in her eyes, they began the post-event cleanup.

Gasp! Wei Youqing was completely stunned.

Liu Qingmei was, after all, a dignified Martial Dao Divine Origin Realm powerhouse.

An existence who could walk sideways in the Jianghu.

A single smile from her would likely make countless heroes willingly die for her.

Such a proud person.

She was actually doing this openly and without avoiding her at all.

Thinking that what was in Liu Qingmei's mouth right now was her own essence, she could not help but feel a jolt of terror.

This was too horrifying! At this moment, Wei Youqing no longer knew how to use words to describe her feelings.

She just stared blankly, foolishly holding onto the wooden pillar, looking at the scene unfolding before her in disbelief.

Even the system notification that suddenly rang in her mind.

She automatically ignored it and paid no attention to it.

"..."

In Wei Youqing's mind, the system notification sound rang out.

Yet she had no time to pay it any mind; at this very moment, her heart was filled only with endless shame and helplessness.

And at the same time.

While stroking the heads of Liu Qingmei and Liu Xiaoya, Ning Mu, who was peacefully enjoying the service of the two, also heard a system notification sound in his mind.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, the Loyalty Value of Wei Youqing, owner of Sub-system No. 3, has reached the Adoration stage (80%), you may now unlock No. 4 Sub-system!】

【Notification: Please continue your efforts, Host, and try to cultivate the Loyalty of Wei Youqing, owner of Sub-system No. 3, to 100% in the shortest time possible...】

???

Looking at the notification message jumping on the system panel, Ning Mu was stunned for a moment, then could not help but excitedly straighten his waist.

This is just too awesome!

It went straight from 65% Loyalty to 80%!
