Chapter 49: The Grandmaster's Final Stubbornness! (Please follow!)

Tsk! Hearing the call, Ning Mu stood up with a start, his eyes shining.

Such a sweet task, Ning Mu was of course willing to serve!

He went in immediately without a second word.

"Master, I'm here!"

"……"

Inside the room.

In a wooden tub filled with medicinal water and flower petals, the beauty was like jade, charming and moving.

Whether it was from the soaking in the medicinal soup or something else, at this moment, Liu Qingmei's face was alluring and moving, flushed with a distinct crimson.

She kept most of her body submerged in the tub, revealing only her long, fair swan-like neck and her bright, beautiful face.

Listening to the footsteps coming from behind, Liu Qingmei's heart raced wildly.

She wished she could bury her entire head deep into the tub.

But she still gathered her courage and confirmed repeatedly that the view beneath the water could not be seen from the surface, which made her feel slightly more at ease.

Task Four could yield up to 1000 Cultivation Points and 100 Heroic Couple Points.

She worried that just staying behind the screen would prevent her from obtaining the maximum reward.

Ever since she started doing tasks, the daily progress of her Cultivation Points had made her somewhat obsessed.

If she could get the maximum reward, she naturally could not miss it.

Simply put, hiding in the water was not too excessive.

Liu Qingmei thought to herself.

"Mmm..."

Feeling the hand that suddenly appeared on her shoulder, Liu Qingmei let out a soft hum subconsciously.

Immediately after.

She lowered her head, with her back to Ning Mu, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Mu."

"It is no hardship; to serve my beautiful Master, this Disciple feels deeply honored."

Ning Mu grinned.

Then, he began to wipe Liu Qingmei down.

……

The flavor of this moment is hard to put into words.

It seemed as if even the wind outside the window had become a little gentler.

I do not know how much time had passed.

Liu Qingmei was already full of charm, delicate and lovely, her face filled with tenderness and grace; it was unclear whether her whole body was red from his fingers pinching her, or if the shyness in her heart was truly unbearable and overflowing to the surface.

"Alright, the water is about to go cold."

Finally.

Liu Qingmei could not help it; she cast a charming glance at Ning Mu, then immediately lowered her head again, overcome with shyness.

"Mm."

Ning Mu withdrew his hand at the right moment and pulled down his rolled-up sleeves.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

After waiting for a long time, seeing Ning Mu still standing in front of the tub, looking down at her from above with eyes full of intense desire and appreciation, Liu Qingmei's little heart thumped, and she scolded him coquettishly.

"Ah, you want me to go out?"

Ning Mu looked regretful.

"What else? You brat, what on earth are you thinking about!"

Liu Qingmei scolded him coquettishly, her face flushed red, and she huffed, "You must keep a sense of propriety!"

???

You're the one who should be keeping a sense of propriety!

It was clearly you who asked me to come in.

Hmph, you heartless woman!

Ning Mu muttered to himself, looking unwilling, and said, "Hehe, don't worry, I promise to look but not touch!"

What kind of weird description is that? What does "look but not touch" mean? Liu Qingmei's mouth twitched.

But after a moment of hesitation, she frowned and tacitly agreed.

"You brat!"

"This is the only time, don't let it happen again!"

"If this gets out, how am I supposed to face anyone?"

Rolling her eyes coquettishly, Liu Qingmei blushed and slowly stood up from the water.

Hiss...

Ning Mu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Gulp..." "You rascal~"

Hearing the sound of Ning Mu swallowing his saliva, Liu Qingmei rolled her eyes, then picked up the clothes from the rack placed to the side and slowly began to put them on.

This was a thin, pure silk inner robe.

After putting it on, it fully displayed her graceful charm and alluring style.

"Can't button it, right? Let me!"

Seeing Liu Qingmei lower her head and turn her back, trying to button the clasp at her lower back.

Ning Mu immediately took the initiative to step forward.

"Who was it that said 'look but don't touch'?"

Liu Qingmei rolled her eyes again, but she did not refuse his initiative.

After all, it was truly difficult for her to fasten the cloth buttons.

"A gentleman said it!"

"Master, you also guard against the petty, not the gentleman, don't you?"

Ning Mu chuckled.

*Slap! *

Before the words had even faded, he gave a slap down.

The moment he slapped down, he regretted it!

These were not the few little maids from his own courtyard.

"Mm, presumptuous... do you want to die!"

That one word, "presumptuous," was the final stubbornness of her status as a Grandmaster.

And that coquettish rebuke was an indulgence and leniency toward the one who held her heart.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Four, obtaining the highest reward of 1000 Cultivation Points, 100 Heroic Couple Points, and an increase of 10 points in the Binding Companion Ning Mu Strategy Value.】

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host, Number One Sub-System owner Liu Qingmei has completed Task Four, providing feedback to the Host with rewards: 100 Cultivation Points, Liu Qingmei Loyalty Value increased by 3%, and due to additional experiences during the task, an additional task reward: Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou x1...】

???

Additional reward?

Almost at the same time, Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei each received their task rewards.

It also happened to be at this moment.

Ning Mu had not yet had time to examine this additional reward, the secret technique.

Outside the door, a knocking sound rang out.

"Madam, Young Master, the Liu Family Young Master Liu Yutang has arrived with gifts, saying he wants to break off the engagement. The entrance is in chaos, the Eldest Miss is overcome with shame and anger and wants to kill Young Master Liu, Qigu is holding her back, please Madam, hurry over to handle this..."

Liu Xiaoya's anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Hm? Hearing this, Liu Qingmei's charming expression immediately turned cold and gloomy.

"Xiao Mu, hurry!"

"Something is terribly wrong."

Liu Qingmei hurriedly pushed Ning Mu away.

"Who is Liu Yutang?"

Ning Mu also helped her dress while asking.

"Ye Yin's fiancé, the eldest young master of the Liu Family in Xiaoxian Town. Like the Ye Family, they are a famous noble family in the martial arts world. They were family friends with the Ye Family, so the two families set the marriage contract!"

Liu Qingmei explained rapidly.

Speaking of this, her beautiful eyes sank, and she said in a suppressed voice: "I didn't expect this Liu Family to also be the type to seek profit and avoid harm. Now that they see my Ye Family is in trouble, they come to the door to break the engagement. Hmph, shameless!"

"I fear A Yin will not be able to take this!"

"She never liked this engagement to begin with, but for the sake of both families' reputations, she agreed to it. Now, it's a fine mess; Liu Yutang is actually breaking the engagement. This blow to A Yin is too great!"

Once dressed, Liu Qingmei led Ning Mu out the door, galloping all the way toward the main entrance.

On the way, Liu Qingmei explained carefully.

Being dumped by a fiancé, for a woman, is equivalent to declaring that she is a woman who has committed one of the seven grounds for divorce and is unchaste and impure! This is a very serious matter! Especially since Ye Yin is the only direct-line Eldest Miss of Cangjian Villa, the impact of this matter is even greater! Even though those familiar with her know the inside story.

But if it spreads out, it will be a devastating blow to Ye Yin's reputation.

For the rest of her life, she will carry the label of having been dumped by her husband's family.

Such a blow could not be considered small!

Even if she didn't like the Liu Family young master from the bottom of her heart, after all, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers came first.

As a weak woman, how could she not feel pressure when facing rumors and gossip that could kill? "..."

At the main entrance.

"Liu Yutang, you bastard, I want to kill you!"

"You son of a bitch, you will die a horrible death!"
