The Luo Yueguan’s eyes looked out the window.
She gently picked up the bowl of medicine and took small sips. Leaning against the bedside, the quilt wrapped around her slipped slightly as she raised her hand. Her slender, delicate clavicles seemed to faintly glow in the dim light, and the skin beneath them, on her chest, was as white and tender as porcelain, as smooth as milk.
Other than the bedding, her body was unclothed.
The moment Jiang Huai’s gaze fell upon her, he was momentarily distracted, then pouted and looked away, suddenly recalling the system’s mission prompt that had sounded in his ear last night.
[Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, Luo Yueguan. Although her injuries have completely healed, her heart is already full of holes. She is Luo Qingyu’s mother, and you are Luo Qingyu’s husband. You have an obligation to ensure Luo Qingyu’s future happiness by finding the true cause of Luo Yueguan’s inner demon and dispelling it.]
[Luo Yueguan, at this moment, due to her fear of her inner demon, has quietly switched her senses to Luo Qingyu’s perspective and is peeping at what you and Luo Qingyu are doing. Take this opportunity to thoroughly bully Luo Qingyu so that Luo Yueguan can empathize, and let the woman who has been lonely for a hundred years taste the power of your Super Overlord Art.]
[Mission Reward: High-level Experience Scroll * 2]
When Jiang Huai heard the system prompt, he didn’t know how to respond. He had no intention of completing the mission because Luo Qingyu had been so physically weak at the time that she couldn’t endure any more torment. Thus, he had only kissed her body under Luo Qingyu’s pleading gaze. He figured that once Luo Yueguan became bored, she would obediently sever the connection herself.
Auntie Luo was a bit mad. Sometimes she could be called shameless, but other times she seemed extremely proud. She was sometimes cunning and treacherous, yet at other times as innocent as a child.
As Jiang Huai stood there in a daze, a series of beeps suddenly sounded in his ear.
[Yesterday, you thought that after only two months apart, Luo Yueguan’s favorability towards you dropped from 83 to 73, and she was displeased. This is an insult to your charm. You have given her so much, been so attentive, and sought no reward. Yet, her favorability towards you has gradually diminished with time. She has tarnished your beautiful fantasy of love, and therefore, you have decided to retaliate against her.]
[Mission Objective: Increase Luo Yueguan’s favorability to above 93 within three days. Note: You can now check Luo Yueguan’s favorability without restriction from this moment on.]
[Mission Reward: Ice Soul Profound Body * 1.]
Jiang Huai was stunned.
This system mission came out of nowhere, but his system had always been like this, playing pranks. It claimed to issue missions based on his desires, but Jiang Huai didn’t believe it. However, if he could increase Luo Yueguan’s favorability to 93 within three days and obtain the Ice Soul Profound Body, he would no longer have to worry about finding medicinal materials to replace it.
A favorability of ninety-three… it shouldn’t mean anything, right? After all, Auntie Luo had already reached 83 before. It was just a slight increase from that 83, so it seemed… not very difficult.
Jiang Huai began to seriously consider the feasibility of the mission. If he could truly achieve it, and obtain the Ice Soul Profound Body, recovering his cultivation would no longer be a distant prospect. This inflated favorability would gradually decrease over time anyway.
It seemed like a sure-fire, profitable deal no matter how he looked at it, yet Jiang Huai felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Then he thought again, perhaps he might not even be able to raise Luo Yueguan’s favorability to such a level. Jiang Huai always felt that Luo Yueguan had a mental wall around her, isolating everyone. She had seen too many people’s dark sides and could see into all the dark corners of people’s hearts. Therefore, even when she smiled at everyone, her heart was cold and indifferent. The reason she and Chu Xianning became best friends was because Chu Xianning was truly clear-minded and pure.
Maybe… he should try?
Jiang Xiaohu looked up at Luo Yueguan in front of him and silently recited the command to check favorability in his mind. Instantly, he received the answer.
[Luo Yueguan’s current favorability: 74.]
This bowl of sweet and slightly bitter medicinal soup might be the reason for the favorability increase from 73 to 74. Jiang Huai looked at Luo Yueguan’s profile. At this moment, he couldn’t think of anything to do. In the past, he and Luo Yueguan had interacted freely, doing whatever came to mind. But if he were to genuinely try to please a woman, Jiang Huai felt he wasn’t skilled at it, and a sense of wanting to retreat began to emerge in his heart.
Given Luo Yueguan’s awkward personality, what if she noticed and mocked him fiercely?
As Jiang Huai was thinking this, Luo Yueguan had already lowered her head and looked into Jiang Huai’s eyes. After a moment, she tilted her head. “Why are you staring at me?”
“Auntie Luo is too beautiful.”
“Oh.”
Luo Yueguan replied indifferently. The favorability on her head turned to 75.
So easy?
Luo Yueguan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Isn’t your Master even more beautiful?”
“But one gets tired of looking after a long time. Auntie Luo and Master are not the same type. Master is a cold and aloof fairy, while Auntie Luo…”
“Am I the shameless type?”
“How could that be? I meant Auntie Luo has a good figure…” As soon as Jiang Huai finished speaking, he curiously checked his favorability and was suddenly wide-eyed. Because after he said this, Luo Yueguan’s favorability instantly dropped to 70!
“But although Auntie Luo has a seductive figure, her eyes are gentle and sacred, like a clear spring. This contrast is strangely cute…”
Jiang Huai secretly checked in his mind again. [Luo Yueguan’s current favorability: 68.]
Jiang Huai chose to remain silent.
As expected, he wasn’t good at coaxing women.
“Is that so? In a few more years, Qingyu will be nine parts similar to me. Will that be profiting you then?” Luo Yueguan reached out and grabbed Jiang Huai’s chin, lifting his face slightly. A playful smile played on the corner of her lips.
Jiang Huai only noticed that when she said this, her favorability towards him had become 66 again.
I didn’t say anything and it still dropped!!
“Qingyu is Qingyu, and Auntie Luo is Auntie Luo. How can you lump them together?”
“You’re not calling me shameless again?” Luo Yueguan leaned closer, looking into his eyes. “Why the sudden change of heart today? Or is Qingyu alone no longer enough for you, and you want my mother and daughter to… together at night…”
“Stop.” Jiang Huai immediately interrupted Luo Yueguan. “Auntie Luo, you’re being indecent again.”
“Whose script are you writing every day, filled with protagonists entangled with multiple mothers and daughters? And you’re always thinking about mother-daughter incest, various positions. Who is this person called A Mumu?”
“How do you know?!”
“You guess.” Luo Yueguan simply smiled playfully and reached out to pinch Jiang Huai’s cheek.
Of course, Luo Qingyu had told her. It wasn’t a secret that couldn’t be told. It was just that when Luo Yueguan thought that the gentleman Jiang Xiaohu in her heart also had so many dark and despicable thoughts, she suddenly realized… indeed, all men were dogs.
“Qingyu told you?”
Luo Yueguan didn’t answer, which was tantamount to an admission. At this moment, Jiang Huai felt a sense of shame, his face flushing. “A book is a book, and a person is a person. What’s wrong with having some despicable and dark thoughts in your heart? As long as you haven’t acted on them… it’s as if they don’t exist.”
“Is that so? Have you really never thought about it?” Luo Yueguan’s hand gently stroked Jiang Huai’s cheek. “You are Qingyu’s husband. Qingyu’s fondness for pain should be something you guide. Don’t indulge it too much, understand?”
“How do you know?” Jiang Huai asked deliberately.
“I perceived it on Qingyu’s body while I was bored last night.”
“I have it under control. Don’t do this again.” Jiang Huai had no time to care about the so-called favorability at the moment. The more he looked at the favorability, the more disheartening it became. He’d better forget it. The thought of favorability made him lose the ability to communicate normally with Luo Yueguan.
“What? Doesn’t thinking about it make it more stimulating? When you bully Qingyu, her mother will also…”
“Stop!” Jiang Huai reached out and pinched Luo Yueguan’s chin, sealing her lips shut. “Don’t say it.”
Luo Yueguan’s cheeks were rosy and soft. She no longer spoke, her fox-like eyes now playfully gazing at him, seemingly unable to conceal her inner amusement. Jiang Huai, however, just wanted to escape.
“I will teach her well about Qingyu’s preferences. Auntie Luo doesn’t need to worry.”
“Oh.” Luo Yueguan responded, then her lips parted slightly. She reached out and gently grasped Jiang Huai’s wrist, then leaned forward and enclosed his finger with her slightly parted lips.
Jiang Huai’s body suddenly became incredibly stiff. At this moment, Luo Yueguan leaned forward slightly, her eyes seductive and enchanting. Her rosy lips were fragrant, soft, and warm, and her slippery tongue was gently licking his fingertips. As she leaned forward, the quilt that had been covering her chest slipped slightly, almost revealing everything. It seemed that if she bent down any further, the quilt would fall away completely.
“What are you doing again?!”
Jiang Xiaohu was both embarrassed and annoyed. He wanted to pull his wrist back, but Luo Yueguan held it tightly. She raised her eyes and only released his finger, which had become wet, after leaving it glistening. She smiled playfully at Jiang Huai. “I remember you cultivated the Overlord Art?”
“Yes.”
“Qingyu’s body is so delicate. What if she can’t handle your torment?” Luo Yueguan narrowed her eyes slightly.
She’s trying to tempt me to say that since Qingyu can’t handle it, her mother will share the burden?
“Why do I feel like you’re tempting me to say I want to torment you?” Jiang Xiaohu sneered. But in the next second, Luo Yueguan bit his fingertip again. Jiang Huai recoiled as if electrocuted. Luo Yueguan leaned back, her tongue lightly licking her lips, not hiding the contempt in her eyes. “Shameless.”
“Then why did you ask?”
“I wanted you to cherish Qingyu more. But it seems your mind drifted to very vulgar thoughts.” Luo Yueguan lowered her head slightly, only then noticing that the bedding had slipped down a bit. Her fingertips lightly grasped the quilt, but then she suddenly looked up and winked at Jiang Huai. “Do you want to see Auntie Luo’s chest?”
“Yes.” Jiang Huai replied expressionlessly, rolling his eyes at her.
She just wanted him to say yes so she could humiliate and mock him, didn’t she? Hmph, giving her the chance.
Jiang Huai completely disregarded the favorability mission. Luo Yueguan was not a normal woman!
But as he inadvertently looked down, he suddenly noticed that Luo Yueguan’s quilt had slipped down to her waist, and her hands were cupping her breasts. Her breasts trembled with her breathing, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes were filled with a smile. “Satisfied?”
Jiang Xiaohu immediately covered his eyes with his hands.
“Crazy woman! You’re a crazy woman!”
