Chapter 89: Number Two Sub-System, New Function Added!

……

(Special) Image Recording Spirit Jade: Contains various personal/group dance video clips and tutorials; powered by Cultivation Points, it can project images for viewing.

Tsk tsk.

They even managed to come up with video projection.

This thing is good.

Not only can I enjoy it myself, but I can also use it to teach the courtesans in Hua Man Ge. If they learn this, won't it bewitch the men of this era completely? By then, silver will be pouring into my pockets.

Ning Mu smiled with smug satisfaction.

Immediately, he cast his gaze toward the Number Two Sub-System.

【Prompt: Number Two (B) Sub-System is in application. Which person does the Host wish to bind?】

【Prompt: The Host only needs to imagine the appearance and features of the target Xia Lu in their mind, and the system will issue a forced binding command.】

It is the same as the first time.

Still a forced binding.

A curve appeared at the corner of Ning Mu's mouth, and he immediately imagined the ethereal grace and appearance of Liuli Shitai in his mind.

Not long after.

The system sent back feedback.

【Prompt: Binding target detected. The system has rendered the target into a 3D image. Is this correct, Host!】

Then.

He saw the refined and otherworldly silhouette of Liuli Shitai appear in the system light screen, looking just like a fairy.

"Correct!"

【Prompt: Binding in progress, please wait...】

Ning Mu waited patiently.

A moment later.

【Prompt: Number Two (B) Sub-System binding successful. Bound Xia Lu target: Liuli. Secular name: Feng Xiangling. Entered the Buddha Gate in childhood. The Host may issue a task immediately!】

Feng Xiangling? So Liuli had a secular name after all! This name is quite flavorful.

Ning Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

But the next system prompt made his eyes light up.

【Prompt: Number Two Sub-System activated. Main System updated. Added passive function: Thought Induction. The Host can, at critical moments, perceive the fleeting private thoughts of the sub-system owner. As the Host's Cultivation Points increase, you may be able to sense the sub-system owner's true thoughts, or even their life experiences, to facilitate the Host in adjusting strategies in a timely manner.】

【Note: Passive function, cannot be actively deployed. Please be aware!】

Thought Induction?

Ning Mu was startled and sat up from the bed.

At this moment.

A thought suddenly appeared out of thin air in his mind.

【Presumptuous! Where did this demon come from, daring to invade this nun's sea of consciousness?】 "..."

Ning Mu couldn't help but laugh.

This perspective of a god, sensing the thoughts of people in this era, is quite novel! As expected.

Liuli, just like Liu Qingmei, regarded this system as an invasion of her sea of consciousness by some indescribable entity like a demonic path or an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon from the very beginning.

Ning Mu immediately opened the Number Two Sub-System to check.

Bound Xia Lu Number Two Sub-System Target: Liuli (Feng Xiangling)

Age: 30

Gender: Female (Charm Bone naturally born) Height: 168 Temperament: 96 Size: 36D Loyalty: 32% (Friendly) Cultivation: Sitting Reflection Realm · Desperate Situation 【Half-step Divine Origin】 (52999/51200) 【Cannot be upgraded】 Martial Arts: Earth-Tier · Heavenly Drum Thunder Sound Mantra (Great Success) +, Earth-Tier · Kasaya Demon Subduing Art (Great Success) +, Earth-Tier · Bodhidharma Martial Scroll (Consummation) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique · Wind Catching Style (Consummation) +...

Current Task: No new tasks issued yet Bound Xia Lu: Ning Mu

Heroic Couple Points: 0 Xia Lu Black Market: Opened Operation Record: None

Starting at 32% loyalty is inseparable from the interactions over this period.

But that is not the point! What surprised Ning Mu were the four words: Charm Bone naturally born!

A Buddhist nun, with a Charm Bone naturally born?

No matter how you look at it, it feels absurd! "Mm... what's wrong?"

Ning Mu suddenly sat up, immediately waking the sleepy-eyed Liu Qingmei.

"It's nothing, go to sleep."

Ning Mu pulled the rising Liu Qingmei back into his arms and then lay down to sleep.

At the same time, he sent a task to the Number Two Sub-System.

……

West Wing.

Liuli sat cross-legged, her deep eyes filled with shock and strangeness.

Her gaze looked toward the direction of the main hall, a hint of killing intent permeating it.

At this moment.

Before her eyes, there was a light screen that only she could see.

The information on the light screen made her expression grave.

【Congratulations, you have been chosen by the Heavens to become the Host of this system. This Xia Lu System aims to promote the affection and strength of both Xia Lu, to soar together, and to be carefree in this world!】

【Selecting Xia Lu binding target...】

【Selected! Your destined partner is: Ning Mu!】

【Prompt: This person shares an inextricable fate with you, spanning three lifetimes; it is a destined tribulation. Host, please treat this seriously...】

【Prompt: Except for task requirements, you must not cause any threat to your Binding Companion Ning Mu, including but not limited to physical harm, internal energy damage, damage to Cultivation Points, mental harm, emotional pressure, etc.! Otherwise, you will suffer a backlash; minor cases will result in the five defects and three shortcomings, while major cases will result in death. Please be aware!】

After a long string of prompts.

Liuli then discovered that the text on the light screen changed, manifesting a list of her own various information like a miracle.

Heroic Couple System Host: Liuli (Feng Xiangling) Age: 30

Cultivation Points: Sitting Reflection Realm · Desperate Situation 【Half-step Divine Origin】 (52999/51200) 【Cannot be increased】 Martial Arts: Heaven-Tier · Heavenly Drum Thunder Sound Mantra (Great Success) +, Heaven-Tier · Kasaya Demon Subduing Art (Consummation) +, Earth-Tier · Bodhidharma Martial Scroll (Great Success) +, Earth-Tier Movement Technique · Wind Catching Style (Consummation) +...

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

Binding Companion: Ning Mu

Strategy Value: 8 (The higher the Strategy Value, the higher the Heroic Couple Points rewarded for completing tasks and interactions. Strategy Value is mainly derived from intimate interactions, with a small amount from the perfection of task completion) Heroic Couple Points: 0 Couple Black Market: Opened

Warehouse: None. This so-called system actually even knew her secular name from before she became a nun.

Moreover, the levels of her cultivation and Martial Arts were also crystal clear.

Seeing her own cultivation displayed in numerical form above, and that she had already surpassed the entry level of Divine Origin but could not break through, she could not help but knit her brows.

Next was a long string of introductions regarding this so-called "system". (At the beginning of Chapter 2, I won't pad the word count.)

After reading it carefully, a look of deep surprise and helplessness flashed between her brows, not knowing how to handle it.

She had lived for many years and was rich in experience.

Yet, facing this magical scene she had never seen before, she could not help but lose her composure, not knowing what to do.

But...

Looking at the task bar, her brows immediately twisted together.

【Task One: Given that your Binding Companion Ning Mu has low strength and will inevitably encounter danger while wandering the pugilistic world, as a Xia Lu, you must naturally protect his safety. In the days to come, protect your Xia Lu closely. Task duration: one year! Task reward: Upon completion, reward the Host with 5000 cultivation points, 500 Heroic Couple Points, and Cloud Pattern Treasure Kasaya (female style) *1. Failure of the task will result in the deduction of 30% of Cultivation Points!】

【Task Two: Do you also often wonder, as someone with Buddha-nature and a Zen heart, you should have been pure-hearted and with few desires, yet occasionally in the middle of the night, your thoughts surge and your desires swell? Face your true self completely. People are complex. Although you possess Buddha-nature, the mortal world has not been extinguished, and you are often disturbed by secular thoughts, all because you possess a Charm Bone body, which is innate and destined in this life to become the enchanting cauldron for your Binding Companion! Task details: In the West Wing, while thinking of your Binding Companion Ning Mu, imagine being with him, comfort yourself, and reach a Desperate Situation! Task duration: Until the cock crows! Task reminder: If you do not understand how to comfort yourself, you may consult this system. This system will teach the Host everything through intracranial image projection! Upon task completion, reward the Host with Nine-Turn Divine Origin Pill Fragment *0.5. If the task fails, the Host's five senses will be sealed and all Cultivation Points will be lost for half an hour!】
