Early morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the window lattice.
Gu Liufeng awoke, feeling refreshed.
He looked down at the beauty still asleep in his arms. Jing Ni's once cool sleeping face now held a hint of childlike tranquility. On her bare shoulder, peeking out from under the brocade quilt, were still lingering red marks from last night's frenzy.
Gu Liufeng quietly got up, put on his clothes, and went to the study.
Last night's battle not only brought him a beauty but also earned him a massive sum of ten thousand Story Points in one go. Coupled with his previous accumulation, he was now rich and powerful!
"System, open the lottery panel."
[Current Story Point Balance: 38,500 points.]
"Leave 8500 points as backup, just in case."
Gu Liufeng waved his hand, full of bravado:
"All the remaining 30,000 points, go all in! Initiate [Ten Consecutive Draws]! Three consecutive sets!"
Buzz—!
A golden roulette wheel spun wildly in his mind, its dazzling light almost blinding him.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Luck burst! You have received the following rewards:]
[Life Supplies (System Gift):]
Braised Beef Noodles x99 barrels (essential for late-night cultivation).
Fat Happy Water (Coke) x99 cases (tastes better chilled).
Qingfeng Soft & Strong Tissues x999 cases (System Note: Host has many close female confidantes, and... consumption is huge, this is a necessity).
Seven Degrees Space · Maiden Series Sanitary Napkins x99 cases (System Note: Care for your harem, be a considerate warm man, start with the details).
[Pill Category:]
Great Reversion Pill x1 (Shaolin treasure, one pill increases 30 years of pure internal energy, and has the effect of reviving the dead, an excellent aid for breaking into the Heaven-Man Realm).
[Cultivation Method Category (Golden Legend):]
Heaven-tier supreme sword art — "Azure Lotus Sword Song"!
Features: Sword energy blooms like an azure lotus, elegant like an immortal, yet infinitely murderous. Combined with "Nine Yang Divine Art" and "Snow Tread Without Trace", the Host's style will completely transform into that of a "Banished Immortal."
"Holy crap..."
Gu Liufeng's mouth twitched, looking at the mountain of tissues and sanitary napkins piled up in the system space. This system was really... considerate.
However, upon seeing the last two rewards, his breathing instantly quickened.
Great Reversion Pill!
Azure Lotus Sword Song!
These were practically tailor-made for him. With the Great Reversion Pill, breaking through to Grandmaster would be a natural progression; with the Azure Lotus Sword Song, his attack methods would no longer be limited to ordinary sword moves, but would possess true ultimate techniques!
"While they're still asleep, I'll go to the backyard for seclusion and get started on this sword art!"
Gu Liufeng suppressed his excitement, took the Great Reversion Pill and the sword manual, and quietly went to the training room in the backyard.
The sun was high in the sky.
Jing Ni finally awoke from her deep slumber.
The soreness throughout her body made her instinctively frown, but following it was the return of last night's intoxicating memories.
She unconsciously touched her side; it was already empty, only residual warmth remained.
"Young Master..."
Jing Ni's lips curved into a sweet smile she had never worn before.
However, when she prepared to get up and dress, her movements suddenly froze.
Pulling back the brocade quilt, Jing Ni's exquisite face instantly turned fiery red, so red it almost seemed to drip blood.
On the center of the expensive cloud brocade bedsheet was a huge "map."
Last night, when passion ran deep, she seemed to lose control...
Somehow, it suddenly started to "flood"...
"This..."
Jing Ni covered her burning face, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
If the servants responsible for cleaning, or that mischievous Huang Rong, saw this, where would she, a Heaven-Man Realm master, put her face?
"No! I must destroy the evidence!"
Jing Ni ignored her sore body, quickly dressed, and frantically pulled off the bedsheet and quilt, rolling them into a ball. Like a thief, she stealthily slipped out of the room and headed straight for the well in the backyard.
Backyard, by the well.
Jing Ni squatted on the ground, sleeves rolled up, vigorously scrubbing the "incriminating" bedsheet. Her hands, which usually held a sword for killing, now appeared somewhat clumsy as she scrubbed clothes.
"Must wash it clean... absolutely must..."
"Eh? Sister Jing Ni?"
A clear voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Jing Ni so much that the soap in her hand fell into the basin with a "plop," splashing water onto her face.
Jing Ni stiffly turned her head.
Huang Rong, holding a basket of freshly steamed crab roe soup dumplings, was staring with wide eyes, looking at her with curiosity:
"Sister Jing Ni, so early in the morning, you're not in your room accompanying Big Brother Gu; why are you here washing bedsheets?"
Huang Rong took a few steps closer, sniffing, her gaze falling on the unusually large basin. She asked suspiciously:
"And... why is this bedsheet so wet? Did Big Brother Gu... wet the bed last night?"
"No... no!"
Jing Ni frantically waved her hands. Her usually aloof self now stammered, her eyes darting nervously:
"It's... it's tea! Yes, tea!"
In a moment of desperation, Jing Ni started spouting nonsense:
"Last night, Young Master wanted tea, and I accidentally... my hand slipped, and I spilled the whole pot of tea onto the bed! Yes, that's it!"
"Spilled tea?"
Huang Rong blinked, pointed at the still dripping bedsheet, then looked at Jing Ni's unnaturally red neck, and instantly understood.
Could tea really spill over such a large area?
And this smell... although it was covered by the scent of soap, why did it smell a bit like...
Chimonanthus? (Wintersweet, also sometimes used in fanfiction to allude to sex)
Huang Rong was a mischievous spirit. Although inexperienced herself, she had seen enough to know. Connecting it to the sounds from next door that had lasted almost all night, and then looking at Jing Ni's current appearance, as if she was dying of shame and anger...
"Oh~~~ so it was 'tea,' huh."
Huang Rong elongated her tone, a mischievous smile curling her lips. She deliberately leaned closer to Jing Ni's ear and whispered:
"Sister, it seems Big Brother Gu has quite a 'tea addiction,' doesn't he? You'll have to be more careful when drinking tea at night in the future, don't make a mess everywhere like a salamander."
"You—!"
Jing Ni was so ashamed she wished she could draw her sword and commit suicide.
Salamander?!
That brat, she definitely knew! She was definitely mocking her!
"I... I'm going to hang the clothes!"
Jing Ni grabbed the still-dripping wet bedsheet and fled in embarrassment, even using her light footwork. In the blink of an eye, she vanished at the end of the corridor.
Watching Jing Ni's flustered retreat, Huang Rong covered her mouth, shaking with laughter.
"Hmph, that's for making so much noise last night that I couldn't sleep!"
"But..."
Huang Rong lowered her head, looked at her own figure, and then thought with a hint of envy:
"Is that kind of thing... really that pleasurable? Even a cold beauty like Sister Jing Ni turned into a 'salamander'?"
She subconsciously looked in the direction of Gu Liufeng's secluded training room, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Gu Liufeng... you big bad guy."
