Chapter 56: 56 Iron Hooves Chasing the Cloud Lion (Begging for follow-up reads!)

【Task One: (Time Limit: Two months and fourteen days) Keep your Binding Companion and Personal Disciple, Ning Mu, by your side and frequently offer him guidance...】

【Task Two: The system detects that the Host and the Binding Companion, Ning Mu, are currently on a journey. Given that the Binding Companion Ning Mu's Cultivation Points are insufficient, for the sake of the Host, the system has specially issued an extra reward: "Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage." Please present the "Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage" to your Binding Companion, Ning Mu. Upon completion of the task, the Host will be rewarded with 100 Cultivation Points! Task Failure: The existence of this item will be erased!】

【Hint: The Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage has been delivered to the edge of the peach grove half a mile east of the teahouse. There is someone guarding it; the Host only needs to state their name to receive it!】

【Task Three: The Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage has a large interior and travels at extreme speeds. During the upcoming journey, the Host must ride in the same carriage as your Binding Companion, Ning Mu, and must wear the one-piece Black Xuan Sand Silk Lace Garment, as well as the Black Red Foot-Protecting High Heels. Display your proud figure before your Binding Companion and ask him if the clothes fit. Upon receiving an affirmative answer, you may obtain the task reward. Task completion rewards: 500 Cultivation Points, 50 Heroic Couple Points, and Giant Breast Pill *1! Task failure: Deduct all current Cultivation Points and stagnate your cultivation.】

【Hint: If the owner of the Number One Sub-System, Liu Qingmei, completes Task Three, it will provide the Host with a reward of 50 Cultivation Points, Essence Storage Pill *1, and 2% of Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value!】

During the conversation.

Liu Qingmei used her mind to control the system, checking the Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage and the effects of the Giant Breast Pill.

Spirit Firmament Wind-riding Carriage: A four-wheeled carriage crafted from deep-sea black iron and precious black ironwood. The interior space is spacious and bright, enhanced with Daoist Spirit-Travel Talismans, Buoyancy Talismans, and Weight-Reduction Talismans. Even ordinary horses can travel eight hundred miles a day; this carriage comes with a dedicated beast to pull it, allowing it to travel sixteen hundred miles a day at full speed.

Pill · Giant Breast Pill: After consumption, it can cause a woman's breasts to enlarge and perfectly set their shape.

"..."

Liu Qingmei's brows furrowed slightly.

Then.

She stood up, looked at Tong Yuyue and Ning Mu, and said expressionlessly, "Yue'er, Little Mu, you two rest here for now. I have something to attend to and will be leaving for a moment; I will be back in about an hour."

Ning Mu understood in his heart.

But Tong Yuyue and the others were full of confusion.

They had never heard of Liu Qingmei having any old acquaintances here; what could she possibly have to do?

But since Liu Qingmei had spoken, they naturally would not press for details and would just wait patiently.

"Roar~"

Neigh~ In less than half an hour.

Accompanied by several loud, neighing sounds, everyone in the teahouse looked up one after another.

Whoa! Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Many people even stood up, curiously peering at the official road outside the teahouse fence.

Strikingly, a massive exotic beast with a strange, deep-red body, red hair, golden eyes, hooves as black as iron, and hard bone spurs on its tail was standing in place, neighing, its front hooves constantly scraping the ground.

This demonic beast looked very similar to a lion.

But its size and presence far surpassed that of an ordinary lion.

In no time at all, the packed earth had been scraped into a shallow pit by the beast.

With its arrival, the spirited horses in the nearby stables began to snort, retreating in fear.

"Hiss, this is... a mutated beast of the demonic Cloud Lion, the Iron-Hoofed Cloud-Chasing Lion!"

At this moment.

The knowledgeable Tong Yuyue in the teahouse was the first to call out the name of the demonic beast.

And compared to this beast, what shocked everyone even more was the carriage it was pulling!

Was that a carriage?

It was practically a painted pavilion and vermilion tower! With a Cloud Lion canopy, it was ornate and magnificent; the carriage body was gilded and resplendent, covered in brocade and embroidery, with four pitch-black wheels that seemed filled with a mysterious power of flight! Even the driver's seat was carved with beams and painted pillars, decorated with embroidered gold thread. The entire carriage, set off by the Iron-Hoofed Cloud-Chasing Lion, seemed to radiate waves of golden, precious energy!

This was too luxurious!

Aside from the beast pulling it and the quantity, it was even more extravagantly absurd than the sovereign's own carriage! Cloud Lions were a type of demonic beast with extremely high aggression.

And the mutated Iron-Hoofed Cloud-Chasing Lion among them had even greater attack power and was extremely fast.

More importantly, Cloud Lions were wild and difficult to tame, and combined with their powerful attack strength, it was very difficult for an ordinary person to tame one. This was not something that could be done just by having high strength; it required specialized beast-taming techniques!

And now, such a powerful demonic beast was actually being used to pull a carriage?

"Ning Mu, come here!"

Just as everyone was surprised.

At this time, Liu Qingmei was seen standing on the carriage, waving at Ning Mu in the teahouse, signaling him to come forward.

Tong Yuyue and the other Ye Family servants also spontaneously gathered around.

"Little Mu, this carriage is for you. As your master, I have never given you any gifts; let this carriage be a token of my sincerity."

Liu Qingmei looked down from above at Ning Mu, who was standing two or three feet away from the Iron-Hoofed Cloud-Chasing Lion, her expression revealing a hint of complexity.

How could she have never given him a gift?

If things went on like this, she felt like she was about to give herself to him!

But these words could not be spoken to outsiders.

After all, she was the legitimate Villa Master of Cangjian Villa and the main wife of the Ye Family Head, Ye Bufan! If people found out she was having an affair with her own Personal Disciple, her reputation would likely become famous throughout the entire jianghu and the bustling markets.

"Ah... for me?"

Ning Mu feigned surprise, looking up at Liu Qingmei with a face full of shock.

One had to admit, in this regard, his acting skills had already reached a state of perfection.

After all, it had been so long, and Liu Qingmei had not discovered a single clue.

It was enough to prove that if his acting skills were taken to his past life, he could definitely win a major award! "Yes... it is for you. This beast was trained by the Huang Family, a family of beast tamers in Lingnan. It is extremely intelligent; you only need to merge a drop of your fingertip blood into the center of its brow, and you will be able to communicate with it mentally and drive it freely from now on."

"As for this carriage... it was a gift from an old friend of mine. He was once a palace craftsman, specializing in crafting such implements for nobles!"

Liu Qingmei jumped off the carriage and looked at Ning Mu, explaining patiently.

Her eyes flickered.

Anyone with a sharp eye would surely discover her guilt.

But these words explained the origin of the carriage and the demonic beast perfectly well. People like Tong Yuyue and the Ye Fu servants would only feel amazed and would not suspect that she was lying.

As for Ning Mu, it went without saying.

In fact, at this moment, the moment the Iron-Hoof Cloud-Chasing Lion saw him, it had already become extremely docile, and even wanted to come closer to rub against him.

It was only because he glared at it, reprimanding it silently and controlling it with his intent, that it did not display overly intimate actions.

Otherwise, it would inevitably have aroused Liu Qingmei's suspicion.

And the theory of blending fingertip blood into the center of a demonic beast's brow is both a unique beast-taming method created by the beast-taming Huang Family, and the explanation prepared in advance by the system for Liu Qingmei.
