Chapter 80: Master, aren't you enjoying it too? (Seeking follow-up reads)

"No need, the mistress is out on business, I will be out immediately."

Having received a satisfying response, Ning Mu was feeling quite carefree and immediately shouted out to the outside.

"Very well, Young Master, then this servant will go prepare the meal."

Chunzhi responded.

Outside the door, Chunzhi's footsteps gradually faded away.

"Hoo..."

Liu Qingmei finally let out a breath of relief.

Gently patting her heaving chest to soothe the feeling of standing on the edge of an abyss, Liu Qingmei immediately knitted her brows and glared at Ning Mu with feigned anger.

"You brat, you're getting more and more outrageous!"

Before the words had even faded, those slender, soft fingers had already pinched Ning Mu's ear.

Just a moment ago, she felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down into an endless abyss, which made her spine turn cold.

Yet, that thrill of standing on the edge was reflected in her mind so vividly that she actually felt a tendency to sink into it.

"Hehe, Master, aren't you enjoying it too?"

With his ear being pinched, Ning Mu tilted his head and, without hesitation, reached out to cover Liu Qingmei's delicate hand, smirking while taking liberties.

"Go to hell, as if I'm enjoying it!"

Having her true thoughts poked at, Liu Qingmei immediately dodged his gaze and pouted incessantly.

Ning Mu chuckled and, catching Liu Qingmei off guard, gave her a light kiss on the lips.

It was like a dragonfly skimming the water; he pulled away the moment he touched her, before she could even react.

Then he quickly jumped out of the bathtub and grabbed a bath towel from the side to wrap around his body.

"Ah!"

"You're asking for death!"

"Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs!"

Liu Qingmei immediately pouted repeatedly, wiped her lips, stomped her feet in feigned anger, and glared at Ning Mu, who had his back to her.

Ning Mu turned around immediately, facing the incomparably beautiful Liu Qingmei, and pulled the bath towel away.

"... You little pervert!"

The sight of the true dragon instantly made Liu Qingmei's face turn incomparably crimson, and she hurriedly turned away.

But her wandering eyes seemed to be pulled by something, drifting backward as if they were there, yet not...

After getting dressed, Ning Mu went out to eat dinner.

Liu Qingmei hid in the bathroom.

She was now at the minor success stage of the Sitting Reflection Realm; missing a meal or two was no problem at all, as her bodily functions were maintained primarily by her Cultivation Points.

The moon was bright tonight, and the flawless moonlight poured down like a silver ribbon.

Dinner was laid out in the middle of the courtyard.

As Ning Mu took his seat, the maids and servant girls also sat at the table.

According to the rules, maids like Chunzhi, Xia Chan, Yuzan, and Yuhuan were not qualified to dine at the same table as their master.

After all, no matter how you put it, they were all of servant status.

Even if they became concubine-maids, they were merely 'tools' to satisfy their master's needs.

But Ning Mu was a modern person after all; some rules could be followed, some could be broken, and some could be treated as if they didn't exist.

Of course, this situation only applied when there were no outsiders present.

If Liuli were dining, or if Liu Qingmei were dining, then Chunzhi, Xia Chan, and the others would consciously withdraw.

"Let Xiao Xiu out to eat."

Ning Mu gave the order.

"Very well, Young Master." Xia Chan hurriedly went to the entrance of the dungeon and opened the partition.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingmei, who had quietly slipped into Ning Mu's bedroom,

was currently sitting on a chair, silently checking the system.

【Notification: Congratulations to the Host for completing Task Two. Because the Host completed this task with perfect execution, giving your Binding Companion Ning Mu the best experience, you have received the highest reward: 500 Cultivation Points, 50 Heroic Couple Points, and the dance routine "Chang'an City"!】

【Notification: The dance "Chang'an City" will be forcibly injected into the Host's memory through the method of divine enlightenment; the physical movements and memory will be perfectly fused as if crafted by nature.】 【Notification: Please complete Task Three as soon as possible to perfectly showcase the charm of Chang'an City!】

Instantly.

Liu Qingmei felt a powerful surge of energy being injected into her mind.

It was a bewitchingly seductive dance.

After sorting through the movements of the dance, she couldn't help but frown.

This dance... was too explicit! It was coquettish, frivolous, and lewd, almost completely displaying every part of a woman's body to the fullest.

It did not match the dignified and elegant image and temperament she had always maintained in the slightest!

Especially.

There was a sequence in the middle that was simply unspeakable.

Building up force in the waist, and then violently shaking her massive breasts...

With her perfect curves and size, she feared that after a few movements, it would be painful! Liu Qingmei couldn't help but frown inwardly.

But.

Looking at the 1000 Cultivation Points reward for Task Three, she could only force herself to calm down, feeling shy and embarrassed.

Xia-Lu A System Binding Host: Liu Qingmei Age: 38 years old

Cultivation: Sitting Reflection Realm 【Grandmaster】 (13200/51200) + Martial Arts: Earth-Tier Willow Leaf Sword Technique (Perfected) +, Earth-Tier Water-Questioning Sword Art (Great Accomplishment) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique Jade Spring Fish Leap (Minor Accomplishment) +...

Current Tasks: Task One, Task Three, Task Four...

Binding Companion: Ning Mu

Strategy Value: 89 Heroic Couple Points: 1590 Couple Black Market: Opened

Having accumulated 1590 Heroic Couple Points, she pondered for a moment, then opened the Couple Black Market and began to browse.

She stared at the Xiuxiu-tihudan for a long time, hesitating, but decided not to buy it for now.

The cautionary tale of Liuli was right before her eyes.

Stuck in a Desperate Situation at the Sitting Reflection Realm, unable to make any progress to step into the Divine Origin Realm.

Yet at her current speed, with the support of the tasks, her own cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds; in just a short time, she had already gone from Zuozhao Rumeng and was about to cross into the Zuozhao Minor Accomplishment Realm!

Even the Divine Origin, or even Saint-Following Realm experts of the past, did not have this kind of cultivation speed!

She was becoming increasingly confident; given time, she would surely surpass the Grandmaster level, enter the Divine Origin Realm, and even touching the Half-Saint realm would be no issue! She would leave this Xiuxiu-tihudan, which only cost 500 Heroic Couple Points, for when she needed to break through in the future.

Next.

Her gaze turned to the "Decorations" section in the Black Market.

According to her memory, the dance of Chang'an City needed to be paired with specific clothing for the performance to be even more perfect!

Cloud-Weaving Neon Garment: Dance attire, light and agile; when dancing, one's figure would possess a texture as unpredictable as clouds. Because its production is complex and the materials are expensive, it is an extremely rare item. Price: 999 Heroic Couple Points.

This was just too beautiful! Almost the very first moment she saw this dance garment, Liu Qingmei was stunned.

The 999 Heroic Couple Points, although it made her heart ache a little.

She gritted her teeth and purchased it directly! It was all to better complete the tasks and improve her cultivation!

Liu Qingmei comforted herself this way.

Yet she ignored one fact: the price of this dance garment was enough to offset the rewards brought by completing Task Three.

Or rather, she instinctively ignored this fact.

In reality...

A woman dresses for the one who delights in her!

She redeemed the garment and withdrew it directly.

Stroking the richly textured, bright, and exquisite Cloud-Weaving Neon Garment, Liu Qingmei could not put it down.

This was simply a miracle of creation.

After a while.

She secretly sensed the environment outside and, seeing that Ning Mu and the others were still dining, felt slightly relieved; she then closed the door and changed out of the clothes she was wearing.

And then, her curvaceous, voluptuous, and shapely figure was hidden away by a cloud of mist.
