Chapter 23: 23 Master and Disciple, a Tacit Understanding! (Please follow!)

"......"

Looking at the task that had suddenly appeared on her task list, Liu Qingmei was speechless.

Was this system meant for her, or for Ning Mu? Still, this task was harmless and even offered a reward; it would be a waste not to do it.

In any case, whether the Demon Sect member was killed or not, the trouble had already been stirred up. If the Blood Lotus Sect found out and came for revenge, they would inevitably track down the Ye Family based on the various clues left behind.

Hua Man Ge, such a large flower house, was sitting right here.

Wanting to completely erase the traces of last night was undoubtedly a pipe dream!

Rather than that, keeping her alive might turn her into a sharp sword in the future.

Immediately.

Liu Qingmei said to Ning Mu: "Since that is the case, then Master will make the decision for you this once."

"This woman has a perverse personality and vicious methods. As a demoness of the Demon Sect, she should have been executed by all, but now that I have completely sealed her path of cultivation and reduced her to a mortal, considering she still has the intention to serve, I can spare her life. However, given her evil deeds, she must be strictly punished. Take her back and keep her as a slave and maid from now on; you may release her only on the day she becomes completely loyal to you. How about that?"

As she spoke, Liu Qingmei's pretty face could not help but turn red.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Six. You are rewarded with 100 cultivation points and 10 points of Ning Mu Strategy Value for the Binding Companion!】

【Notification: Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei has completed Task Six. Returning task rewards to the Main System Host: you have gained 10 cultivation points, and Liu Qingmei's Loyalty has increased by 1%......】

"I will respectfully follow Master's orders. I have no objections to whatever Master arranges."

Ning Mu immediately grinned and flattered her.

At this moment, he also began to put on his coat.

Seeing him struggling to fasten the buttons, fumbling about, Liu Qingmei pursed her lips, stepped forward, and reached out her slender, fair hands.

"Master... excuse me!"

Watching Liu Qingmei lean in to help.

Ning Mu hurriedly said.

The fragrance of her breath, like orchids, seemed to spray onto his chest.

Feeling the intense masculine aura rushing toward her, Liu Qingmei's already flushed face became even more alluring.

【Notification: Your aura makes Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei feel incredibly comfortable. Liu Qingmei's Loyalty to you has increased by 2%; current Loyalty is 20%......】

Forcing herself to calm down, after carefully fastening the buttons for Ning Mu.

"It is nothing, just a small matter. There is no one here to serve us; as Master and Disciple, we have a tacit understanding, so there is no need to be overly formal!"

Liu Qingmei waved her hand, feigning composure.

Her words were also an indirect hint to Ning Mu, laying the groundwork for completing future tasks.

Thus, she brought it up in advance so that Ning Mu could be mentally prepared.

But.

These words fell into Ning Mu's ears and made his heart tighten.

A tacit understanding?

Could it be that Liu Qingmei already knew that it was he who gave her the Couple Number One Sub-system?

That shouldn't be!

Could people in this world have such advanced and avant-garde thoughts?

"Don't misunderstand. What Master means is that although we are Master and Disciple in name, we can become friends!"

"As your Master, I will fulfill my duties, but I also hope to become your confidante. If you have anything to say or want to do anything, you can tell me; there is no need to be overly restrained."

Just as Ning Mu was feeling uneasy.

Seeing his troubled expression, Liu Qingmei spoke again to explain.

Hearing Liu Qingmei's explanation, Ning Mu was instantly relieved, dispelling his doubts.

"Understood, Master, this Disciple understands!" Ning Mu nodded.

Liu Qingmei raised an eyebrow, looked at her beloved disciple with teasing amusement, gave a light hum, and said: "Hmm, really understood? Then tell me, is there anything you want to do, or anything you want to say to Master?"

"...... Let me see your legs!"

"......"

Rebellious disciple!

【Notification: Your straightforwardness and bluntness have left the reserved and steady Liu Qingmei flustered, yet she cannot help but feel joy in her heart. Liu Qingmei's Loyalty to you has increased by 1%; current Loyalty is 21%......】

Liu Qingmei could not help but curse inwardly, glared at Ning Mu with feigned annoyance, and turned to leave with a red face.

However, when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Ning Mu, who was gazing at her expectantly.

Anything else? Ning Mu was stunned for a moment.

At this time.

Liu Qingmei pouted, waved her small hand inadvertently, and then said crisply: "Xiao Mu, rest here today. Tomorrow, when you are free, accompany me to pay a visit to the Prefect and get in touch with these matters. If you like it then, you can try to learn the way of management."

After speaking, without waiting for Ning Mu to reply, she shyly smoothed her skirt and left without looking back.

Tsk tsk......

Hearing Liu Qingmei's words, Ning Mu's heart could not help but stir.

The heart of a young man smitten by love.

Must say.

Although this Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect was young, her body was very soft.

Perhaps due to the consequence of having her cultivation completely crippled, she remained in a coma for the entire night.

If not for the faint, warm breath and the intermittent nasal breathing.

Ning Mu had almost thought she was completely dead.

……

The next day.

The sky was faintly bright.

With a splitting headache and an extremely weak body, Pusa Xiaoman slowly drifted awake.

Her consciousness slowly gathered from the void.

Her entire body was exhausted, as if it were about to fall apart.

The moment she opened her eyes, she sensed something was wrong.

Hah! "Presumptuous!"

Immediately, a cold, delicate shout escaped from Pusa Xiaoman's red lips.

However.

This voice sounded extremely weak, and even carried a hint of languor.

It did not sound like anger.

Instead, it sounded like she was flirting with a lover.

Then, a flash of intense killing intent crossed Pusa Xiaoman's eyes, and she raised her palm, intending to strike this strange man on her body to death.

She would make him regret coming into this world!

But.

The bloody scene she imagined—of the man on her body bleeding from his seven orifices, or even having his brains splattered—did not appear.

Instead, her wrist was tightly gripped by a large hand that had suddenly risen, leaving her unable to move.

Hiss……

Pusa Xiaoman was shocked and terrified.

Up until now, she had not suspected that there was a problem with her own strength.

Instead, she was wondering just how high this man's Cultivation Points were.

To think he could completely seal her Cultivation Points, leaving her unable to move an inch, and could only let him take liberties with her.

"Shameless brat, get off me!"

Not yet having fully grasped the situation, Pusa Xiaoman summoned the dignity belonging to her as a Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect.

If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have been frightened by her.

But at this moment.

Ning Mu merely glanced at her lightly, yawned, and then buried his head into the crook of Pusa Xiaoman's shoulder; as the sound of his steady breathing emerged, a lazy voice also broke into Pusa Xiaoman's ears, leaving her shocked, stunned, and at a loss, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Stop struggling; your Cultivation Points are completely ruined, so just be a bed-warming maid for this Young Master obediently from now on!"

"Four times last night was too tiring, let this Young Master get some good sleep…… huff……"
