【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Five, receiving a reward of 2000 Cultivation Points, and receiving a reward of one brothel industry chain (redeemable)!】

Just as the Ye Family's industries were in crisis, having accidentally acquired a brothel industry that was like a gold-minting cave, after confirming that Ning Mu was unharmed, Liu Qingmei directly redeemed the system reward and then went to handle the related matters.

Meanwhile, Ning Mu leaned against the couch, examining the Pusa Xiaoman before him—whose petite figure was quite graceful and exquisite, who had boasted of wanting to engage in Double Cultivation with him, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat, instead becoming a benefit to him.

While opening the system.

Cultivation Points had already reached 250.

Enough to raise his cultivation to the next stage.

What was even more gratifying was that Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value had already jumped to 17%…… This was a very good sign.

Ning Mu immediately used his thoughts to control it, adding the Cultivation Points to the max.

【Notification: Cultivation can be raised to the Qi Sensing Realm. Do you wish to upgrade?】

【Reminder: Only when cultivation and martial arts complement each other can strength be maximized. Host, please add points with caution!】

"Upgrade!"

Ning Mu did not hesitate and directly raised his cultivation to the Qi Sensing Realm.

There was no very obvious change, but unlike the Opening Aperture Realm, after reaching the Qi Sensing Realm, he could clearly feel a mass of energy full of power seemingly being nurtured within his body.

There were 178 Cultivation Points remaining.

He directly consumed 100 points to raise the cultivation levels of the two martial arts manuals, Frost-Proud Saber Technique and Floating Mystery Steps, to the next stage.

Xia Lu Zhu Xitong

Name: Ning Mu

Age: 18 years old

Gender: Male Height: 181 Cultivation: Qi Sensing Realm (0/420)+ Martial Arts: Earth-Tier · Frost-Proud Saber Technique (Entry 0/200)+, Earth-Tier · Floating Mystery Steps (Entry 0/200)+ Cultivation Points: 83 Warehouse: Wind-Snow Cold Crow (Weapon · Saber type · Earth-Tier) x1, Blood Origin Demon Art (Demonic Path technique · Earth-Tier Supreme Grade) x1 Couple Black Market: Opened

Blood Origin Demon Art: The treasure of the Blood Lotus Sect of Xiao Mountain in the Zhou Kingdom, an Earth-Tier Supreme Grade Demonic Path technique. It is fierce and overbearing, based on the cultivation of devouring the Pure Essence of living people. When cultivated to a profound level, it can devour flesh and blood and possesses unfathomable power!

I didn't expect that I would actually turn a misfortune into a blessing.

Not only did I experience the depth and warmth of a Demon Sect enchantress, but I also raised my cultivation by more than one entire major realm!

The integration of martial arts moves and the improvement of his cultivation realm made him clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly.

Then.

He opened the Number One Sub-System.

Current Task: Task One…… Task Four……

Binding Companion: Ning Mu

Heroic Couple Points: 590 Couple Black Market: Opened

Operation Record: Beginning of the Xu hour, retrieved 'Purple Frost Mysterious Jade Pendant'.

Beginning of the Xu hour……

It is now the end of the Xu hour.

That is to say, before saving me, Liu Qingmei was trying on the Purple Frost Mysterious Jade Pendant?

Perhaps at this moment, this Purple Frost Mysterious Jade Pendant is being worn on her body.

Thinking of this, Ning Mu could not help but feel a bit distracted.

Looking at Pusa Xiaoman, who lay on the couch like a corpse, unconscious, covered in crimson, and even covered in his own purple-blue scratch marks, a malicious thought suddenly arose in Ning Mu's heart! This bad woman! If it weren't for his own alertness in issuing the task to Liu Qingmei in time, wouldn't he have had to go see the King of Hell before he had even managed to leave anything behind in this world? Evil arose from his heart.

Ning Mu's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of ferocity, and he reached out his hand to pinch Pusa Xiaoman's white-as-jade, rosy neck.

But the next moment, he withdrew his hand in time.

Wouldn't killing her be letting her off too easily?

To kill such a beautiful person just like that would be too much of a waste of a heavenly treasure.

"Xiao Mu."

At this moment.

Liu Qingmei, having finished handling the affairs of Hua Man Ge and taking this large brothel into her possession, returned.

Seeing Ning Mu straddling Pusa Xiaoman's petite and exquisite body, with both hands pinching the other's neck, seemingly wanting to strangle her, Liu Qingmei could not help but slightly raise her eyebrows.

She also wanted to see if Ning Mu would be too soft-hearted.

The followers of the Demonic Path are to be executed by all righteous members of the martial arts world; being too kind is digging one's own grave! "Master!"

Seeing Liu Qingmei return, Ning Mu immediately felt as if he had found his backbone, and he jumped off the bed and hugged Liu Qingmei's plump, jade-like legs.

"Master, you scared this Disciple to death! It's all this Disciple's fault for making you worry!"

Ning Mu leaned against Liu Qingmei's legs.

Liu Qingmei's little heart skipped a beat.

She had the mind to blame him, but looking at Ning Mu's remorseful appearance, she could not bring herself to say anything more.

Especially that "Master" from Ning Mu.

It truly called out to the depths of her heart.

"Sigh, get up, look at yourself, you aren't even wearing clothes!"

Liu Qingmei chided, pulling Ning Mu up from the ground, her pretty face appearing as if it had been climbed by a few radiant sunset clouds.

In truth, her heart was quite conflicted.

To say she blamed him, she herself had gained benefits from it; not only had her Cultivation Points increased by 2000, but she had even acquired a brothel that brought in gold every day.

But to say she wasn't angry, that would also be a lie.

To watch with her own eyes as her Personal Disciple engaged in illicit relations with a Demon Sect enchantress.

This kind of experience, there is no telling how depressing it was.

She herself could not describe what kind of mood she was in while experiencing the entire process.

Therefore, after confirming that Pusa Xiaoman could not pose a threat to Ning Mu, she left directly to take over Hua Man Ge.

However, right now, since Ning Mu had the intention of repenting and had turned a misfortune into a blessing, she would let it pass, so as to avoid everyone being embarrassed.

Thinking this, Liu Qingmei looked at Ning Mu, who was putting on his clothes.

"Her cultivation is now completely destroyed, she is as good as a cripple; how do you intend to dispose of her?"

She handed the right to dispose of Pusa Xiaoman over to Ning Mu.

For a Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect, the best disposal measure was naturally to destroy the body and erase the traces, which would also avoid bringing trouble to the Ye Family.

But the Blood Lotus Sect was, after all, at Xiao Mountain in the Zhou Kingdom, a mountain high and road far, half a month's journey from Yonghang.

The Ye Family was a powerful local dragon and did not fear a mere foreign Demon Sect.

Furthermore, even if the body were destroyed and traces erased, it might not necessarily stop the news; people of the Demon Sect, even without carrier pigeons, surely had their own means of transmitting information.

"Ah... Master, Disciple does not know how to dispose of her..."

Ning Mu looked at Liu Qingmei apprehensively.

But at the same time.

Liu Qingmei suddenly received a mission.

【Mission Six: Blood Lotus Sect Saintess Pusa Xiaoman has had her cultivation completely crippled; she is vicious and nearly caused the death of your Binding Companion Ning Mu, so she must be made to reap what she has sown. Mission Details: Seal her cultivation, bestow her upon Ning Mu as a slave and servant until she is completely branded by Ning Mu and submits to him; only then may she see the light of day again. Mission completion rewards 100 Cultivation Points and 10 Ning Mu Strategy Value for your Binding Companion!】
