Chapter 82: Master, why don't we just go all the way down this path!

"I wouldn't dare deceive Master. In my spare time, I usually study reading and writing with Lao Zhangtou, but I am naturally dull and lack any real talent."

Ning Mu smiled, casually finding an excuse to brush it off.

In any case, Liu Qingmei would not actually go and ask.

Even if she did, it wouldn't matter; he truly had studied reading and writing with Lao Zhangtou.

Liu Qingmei was stunned.

This is called naturally dull? Excellent poems and phrases just roll off his tongue.

Even she, having immersed herself in a sea of books for many years, could not reach such a level.

If those scholars in the academies who are praised for their exceptional talent knew of this, what would they think! Liu Qingmei looked at Ning Mu, speechless.

Ning Mu did not give her too much space to think.

Lowering his head slightly, he kissed her lips directly.

"Mmm..."

Liu Qingmei let out a soft moan and subconsciously closed her beautiful peach-blossom eyes.

Then, her slender, soft hands took the initiative to climb up and clasp the back of his neck.

A flush of vibrant peach-blossom red bloomed quietly on her pretty face, fragrant and rich.

Engaging in battle, back and forth, the atmosphere in this alluring bedroom was lively indeed.

Before long.

The two of them wrestled, and somehow ended up on the bed.

Hm? Cannot increase?

Ning Mu raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he reacted immediately.

Sigh...

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, with her shy and charming expression, Ning Mu stopped thinking and focused entirely on entering the state.

Feeling her clothes pulled wide open and the chilly wind rushing in, Liu Qingmei was suddenly jolted awake.

"Don't!"

"Xiao Mu... you can't do this, I am your Master!"

In the end, reason conquered desire.

Liu Qingmei lowered her head, her pretty face rippling with the fragrance of spring, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes slightly lowered, revealing deep guilt and unwillingness within.

Her heart was incomparably conflicted.

There was guilt buried deep in the bottom of her heart.

There was also an unwillingness regarding the relationship between her and Ning Mu, which could never be severed, yet could never be broken through.

Her heart was already stirred.

She even had an urgent desire to give herself to Ning Mu.

A person lives but one life, as grass lives but one autumn.

She was already thirty-eight years old.

Yet she had never truly experienced such beauty.

At this very moment, if she were to truly ask herself the bottom line.

She thought that, regarding Ye Bufan, perhaps it was merely the familial affection bound by worldly reason; in terms of emotion, the two of them had long since become strangers.

It was just that reality constrained them, making them each believe they were in a loving, respectful marriage.

But regarding Ning Mu, she could now blurt it out almost without thinking.

If she could be twenty years younger.

If she could have met him in the prime of her youth.

She would have chosen Ning Mu without hesitation as the lover to accompany her through this life, never to be parted! Even if it meant wandering to the ends of the earth with him, even if they were destitute, even if they were condemned by all... she would not regret it! It is just that...

There are no "ifs" in anything!

As the Eldest Miss of the Liu Family, the Manor Mistress of Cangjian Villa, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and the mother of Ye Yin... all these identities constantly reminded her that she had no right to be willful, and even less right to pursue love! She could only hide this affection away silently.

In the quiet of the night, she would take it out again to silently reminisce and mourn.

Liu Qingmei could not help but lower her head in sorrow, resting it against Ning Mu's chest.

The two sat on the edge of the bed, embracing, speechless as they looked at each other.

A breeze slipped in through the window lattice, as if touched by the oppressive atmosphere; it took a turn, whispered its longing to the candlelight, and then swayed away.

"Master... Xiao Mei!"

Ning Mu lowered his head, cupping Liu Qingmei's face to move her away from his chest.

"Mmm..."

The sound of "Xiao Mei" made Liu Qingmei's body tremble subconsciously. She lifted her head, her eyes becoming hazy, gazing at Ning Mu's face, which was suffused with a heart-stirring glow.

Tears fell.

Her heartstrings loosened, and that forbidden door seemed to have been pushed open a crack!

Ning Mu lowered his head and gently kissed away the colorful teardrops reflecting the lamplight.

Then, soothing her emotions, he comforted her: "I know, you have many things you cannot let go of, it doesn't matter, as a Disciple, I will always stay by your side!"

"And as... a lover!"

Ning Mu paused for a moment, seeing that Liu Qingmei did not refute him, but rather a flash of shyness crossed her beautiful eyes, he could not help but smile slightly and continued: "Any hardships or obstacles, Mu will face together with little Mei."

"I know, with my strength, saying this might make you feel it is a bit empty, but no matter what happens, no matter how great the danger, it must first trample over me before it can reach you!"

Ning Mu spoke with firm words.

Speaking of this, Liu Qingmei immediately frowned slightly and was about to speak.

Naturally, she could not bear to see her lover suffer any harm! If there was danger, it should be she, the master, who stood at the front!

But before she could speak.

Ning Mu spoke again.

"Do you know, the Perfume shop has already been found, guess what I named the shop?"

He shifted the topic silently.

"What?" Liu Qingmei asked back subconsciously, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Liuchun Pavilion, Fu Ji!"

"Liuchun Pavilion..." Liu Qingmei murmured, reading it softly, her beautiful eyes brightening slightly.

Immediately, a trace of shyness crept into her eyes.

"You brat, you have a whole set of lies, tell the truth, were Chunzhi and Xia Chan also deceived by your sweet talk?"

In order to cover up her shyness, Liu Qingmei deliberately changed the subject.

She pouted coquettishly, her beautiful eyes flashing with shyness, and chided: "I don't know if I owed you in my past life, to have actually fallen for your tricks, hmph~"

This soft hmph was enough to make one's bones go soft.

Looking at such a Grandmaster-level peerless beauty acting like a young girl and being cute in front of him.

This kind of psychological satisfaction was simply indescribable.

Immediately.

Ning Mu pressed forward directly.

"Since Master has already fallen for this Disciple's tricks, then why not... walk all the way to the end on this path!"

Before the words had faded.

Ning Mu flicked his finger.

A strand of Invisible Sword Qi shot out through the air, extinguishing the flickering candle flame dancing with the breeze.

"Mm... not there!"

By the moonlight, in the dim bedroom, the sound of her coquettish chiding rang out.
