"I was only worried that this Dantai Lan might have other ulterior motives, that's why I asked. How is that being 'impatient'? Xiao Chu is my disciple—of course it's only natural for me to worry about someone harboring ill intentions toward him."
"Senior Sister really speaks without restraint! What 'Chu-lang'?! You truly have no sense of shame at all!"
In the dimly lit room, Luo Huangjun looked at Dantai Jinglian's message and muttered softly in embarrassment and annoyance.
Yet, against her will, the very scene Dantai Jinglian had mentioned surfaced in her mind.
Her, as his master, nestled in Chu Ge's arms, eyes shimmering like spring water as she gazed at him, calling out shyly and timidly, "Chu-lang."
Just imagining it sent a jolt like an electric current through her entire body.
"No, no, no—absolutely not!"
She shook her head violently, as if trying to fling that bold image straight out of her mind.
"Even… even if it really came to that, there is absolutely no way this seat would ever assume such a little-girl posture!"
What Luo Huangjun was rejecting at this moment was not the possibility of something happening with Chu Ge—but the idea that she could ever display the shy, tender demeanor that made her heart race in that imagined scene.
[Ding! Beginning settlement of diary rewards. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the daily cultivation reward: Acupoints +4.]
The system notification sounded. Chu Ge did not hesitate as he claimed the reward—Star Acupoints +4, bringing the total to 150.
He glanced at the system panel. Thanks to Ye Chen's recent "contribution," his villain points had already reached 65,500. With just 15,000 more, he would be able to upgrade the diary module once again.
Not thinking further, Chu Ge picked up the Northern Star Mystic Crystal and quickly entered cultivation.
For the time being, he planned to rely on this Northern Star Mystic Crystal to cultivate with full force and open more star acupoints.
Before completely exhausting the stellar essence within this crystal, he had no intention of leaving seclusion.
The next day.
Su Lingyuan, who had deliberately come out of seclusion early in the morning, stood in front of Chu Ge's tightly closed door and fell into a brief daze.
'Why is that stinky junior brother still cultivating?'
'Didn't we agree he'd put a ring on me today? I've already prepared myself!'
She had completely forgotten that although Chu Ge intended to prepare Dao-ring and Enlightenment tea for both her and Luo Huangjun, he had no idea when they would come out of seclusion—so naturally, he wouldn't deliberately wait for them.
"Lingyuan, what are you standing here for?"
A cold, clear voice sounded from behind. Startled like a frightened cat, Su Lingyuan spun around abruptly—causing the two full swells on her chest to jolt violently from side to side in an eye-catching display.
"Ah—it's Master!"
Seeing that it was her own master, Su Lingyuan broke into a silly grin.
Luo Huangjun frowned slightly at the sight.
Was this girl doing it on purpose? Did she really need to move so exaggeratedly?
Was she afraid others wouldn't notice those two burdens?
Su Lingyuan, however, sensed nothing amiss at all and trotted straight toward Luo Huangjun.
In Luo Huangjun's eyes, that meant Su Lingyuan's still-oscillating pair bounced with even greater exaggeration up and down.
Even with clothing restraining them, those grand objects were still brimming with elasticity.
The sight made Luo Huangjun feel slightly dizzy.
Her brow twitched immediately.
'I truly don't know what's so appealing about these useless things. Xiao Chu likes them so much—if they were on an ordinary mortal woman, she'd probably be gasping for breath after just a few steps of running and jumping.'
'Such a burden—better not have them at all!'
She thought viciously in her heart.
Su Lingyuan ran up and stopped in front of Luo Huangjun. Her body had come to a halt—but other places were still gently swaying.
