69: Chapter 69 Junior Sister Liu, your sincerity isn't quite enough!

Liu Rumeng had just shouted the words "Stop right there!" at the top of her lungs.

Her heart immediately skipped a beat.

She was filled with deep regret.

She wished she could raise her hand and give herself a resounding slap.

By shouting those words, wasn't she clearly telling that Old Lecher that she actually cared about him immensely in her heart?

The cold and aloof persona she had maintained for so long was all for nothing.

At the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

Cao Kun stopped in his tracks, but he didn't turn around immediately; instead, he deliberately paused for three seconds.

Those three seconds felt incredibly long to Liu Rumeng.

She could even hear the violent thumping of her heart inside her chest.

Cao Kun slowly turned around.

His gaze swept over Liu Rumeng's flushed, pretty Face.

"Hmm?"

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying obvious mockery.

"Weren't you just in secluded meditation?"

"What, did you get stuck at a critical point in your Cultivation and need your Senior Brother to come back and help you clear things up?"

Liu Rumeng was choked by these words.

Her Face, which was already flushed from the heat, turned even redder with frustration.

"Who... who wants you to clear things up!"

Liu Rumeng stammered, clearly lacking confidence.

She tried her best to straighten her back, attempting to maintain the last shred of dignity as a Personal Disciple of Baihua Peak.

"I just... just..."

She repeated "just" for a long time.

She couldn't even come up with a decent excuse.

Her mind was a mess, and her usual fiery and decisive energy had completely vanished.

Cao Kun watched her awkward attempt to save Face and didn't take the bait at all.

He knew exactly how to handle this kind of tsundere young girl.

Cao Kun unhurriedly walked back into the depths of the Immortal Cave.

He went to the white jade bed, casually dried the sweat on it, and then sat down.

He acted as if the place was entirely his own territory.

Now it was Liu Rumeng's turn to be at a loss.

She stood there barefoot.

She couldn't move forward or retreat.

If she obediently walked over now, it would be too embarrassing.

The oaths she had made and the insults she had hurled would all become a joke.

But if she really let Cao Kun just sit there while they stared at each other, she wouldn't be able to accept it.

They hadn't seen each other for several days, and she had finally managed to wait for him to come; was she really going to let it waste away like this?

Old Lecher, why don't you come and coax me!

As long as you say something soft and give me a way out.

I'll reluctantly forgive your neglect over these past few days.

However, Cao Kun had no such intention.

He saw Liu Rumeng standing there motionless and didn't urge her.

Cao Kun knew well that against a woman of this character, taking the initiative was a lower-tier move; he had to force her to come over herself.

With a thought.

The Top-grade Golden Core in his body, tempered by nine strokes of purple-gold heavenly thunder, began to rotate slightly.

Cao Kun deliberately separated a small wisp of purified Chaos Qi from his Dantian.

This wisp of Qi was mixed with extremely dense Solar Essence.

He silently released this wisp of Qi into the air through his fingertips.

As soon as the Solar Essence left Cao Kun's body, it rapidly diffused within the enclosed Immortal Cave.

Since Cao Kun had already formed his Golden Core, the concentration and purity of this Qi were many times stronger than when he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The originally dry and sweltering temperature in the air underwent a subtle change in an instant.

For Liu Rumeng, who possessed the Crimson Flame Spiritual Body.

This was the absolute nemesis, but also the sweet dew that her body most instinctively and crazily craved.

As soon as the scent entered her nostrils.

Before Liu Rumeng's brain could react, her body had already directly pressed the surrender button.

She felt her legs go weak, and she nearly lost her footing.

An indescribable heat surged violently from the depths of her Dantian, instantly sweeping through her entire body.

An unbearable itch emerged from the gaps in her bones, traveling up her Meridians and rushing straight to her mind.

Liu Rumeng's legs pressed together uncontrollably.

Glistening beads of sweat seeped from her smooth forehead, sliding down her cheeks and flowing over her slender neck.

Finally, they disappeared into the edge of the black beast ring tightly fastened around her neck.

The black beast ring sensed the violent fluctuations of spiritual power within her, and its dark red formation patterns lit up slightly, emitting a domineering suppressive force.

This suppressive force collided with the cravings of the Crimson Flame Spiritual Body.

It made Liu Rumeng feel an extreme sense of humiliation and stimulation.

"Old Lecher... you're shameless..."

She gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

"Don't think... that using such underhanded methods... will make me go over..."

She was still stubbornly muttering, but her voice was already hoarse beyond recognition.

However.

Those fair and slender legs were completely beyond the control of her brain.

Liu Rumeng's toes curled against the ground.

Then.

She slowly raised her right foot and took a small step forward.

The left foot followed.

Liu Rumeng obediently moved toward the white jade bed.

She walked very slowly.

With every step, she used all her strength to fight against her instincts, but in the end, she suffered a complete defeat.

Her red gauze dress swayed gently as she walked.

Because it was soaked with sweat, the hem of the dress clung tightly to her thighs, making her beautiful features faintly visible.

Dallying along like this.

Liu Rumeng finally moved to the edge of the white jade bed.

She was less than half a step away from Cao Kun.

If Cao Kun just slightly raised his hand, he could pull her into his arms.

Liu Rumeng lowered her head and waited silently, not daring to look into Cao Kun's eyes.

But Cao Kun just slightly tilted his head back.

He quietly appreciated Liu Rumeng's current state—trying her best to restrain herself yet on the verge of collapse.

The process of personally destroying pride and stripping away the other person's dignity bit by bit.

It was truly satisfying enough to make one's scalp tingle.

The timing was about right.

Cao Kun flipped his palm.

An exquisite jade bottle appeared in his palm.

It was precisely the fifth-Rank spirit nourishing pill he had just obtained from the System's Bronze Gift Pack.

With a "pop" sound.

Cao Kun pulled out the stopper.

A dense medicinal fragrance wafted out, overpowering the sweltering air inside the Immortal Cave.

"Here."

He handed the jade bottle forward slightly, his tone very flat.

"This thing is called a spirit nourishing pill, fifth-Rank top-tier."

"It's very useful for consolidating your current Realm. Take it."

Liu Rumeng's throat moved as she swallowed hard.

A fifth-Rank top-tier Medicinal Pill.

Even as a Personal Disciple of Baihua Peak, it was usually difficult for her to access resources of this level.

Moreover, the aura emitted by this pill had a fatal attraction for her current Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

But she just couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

She had been neglected for several days, mocked as soon as they met, and now she was forced to walk in front of him.

Liu Rumeng stubbornly stiffened her neck.

That unyielding tsundere streak once again gained the upper hand.

She turned her head away and blurted out, "Who cares about your lousy pill!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.

She clearly wanted it very much, not only the pill but even more so the Solar Essence from his body.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Cao Kun didn't get angry but instead let out a cold laugh.

"You don't care?"

He didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

With a flick of his wrist, he made a move to put the jade bottle back into his Storage Ring.

"If you don't care, then forget it. I'm not even that keen on giving it."

Cao Kun's tone was casual, with no intention of coaxing her at all.

He didn't have the time to indulge the bad temper of a spirit pet!

"This fifth-Rank spirit nourishing pill is extremely rare. Since you don't think much of it, I'll just keep it for Qingyue."

"She also just broke through to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment not long ago. Her body is soft and she's obedient, always calling me 'Good Big Brother'."

"It's just what she needs to stabilize her Meridians."

Seeing that the exquisite jade bottle was about to vanish into thin air.

And that it was going to be given to her best friend.

All because Qingyue was "soft and obedient"!

Liu Rumeng got anxious.

"Wait a moment!"

She almost subconsciously shouted out, her voice carrying an undisguisable urgency.

After shouting.

She felt embarrassed to the extreme and stopped speaking.

She just waited for Cao Kun to take the initiative and hand the medicine over.

To give her a way out.

As long as he handed it over and said something nice, she would take it.

However.

Cao Kun was determined today to smooth out her foul temper.

Otherwise, how could she obediently be a maid in the future?

He simply stood up, put away the jade bottle, and his expression turned cold.

"You won't let me leave, but you won't say what you want."

Cao Kun looked down at her, his tone revealing obvious impatience.

"I'm very busy. There's a whole lot of business waiting for me to handle at the Pill Pavilion."

"I don't have time to play house with a little girl here."

"Since you're so tough and don't need me, then continue your meditation here."

Finished speaking.

Cao Kun brushed past Liu Rumeng's shoulder and strode toward the exit of the Immortal Cave.

At this moment, Liu Rumeng completely lost her cool.

She stared blankly at Cao Kun's broad back and his resolute steps.

The tight string in her mind snapped with a "pop".

Whatever dignity as a Personal Disciple of Baihua Peak.

Whatever tsundere temper.

Whatever reserve and Face.

All were washed away by her body's instincts and the grievances accumulated over many days.

She couldn't let him leave.

Absolutely not!

Liu Rumeng turned around and pounced forward recklessly.

"Thud."

A muffled sound.

She tightly hugged Cao Kun's arm from behind.

She even buried Cao Kun's arm within her proud fullness.

Even through the thin clothing.

Cao Kun could still clearly feel that sweltering temperature and soft touch.

As well as that violently beating heart.

Liu Rumeng's eyes were red, and tears welled up in them.

The grievances and humiliations of these days, along with her inexplicable dependence on Cao Kun, completely exploded at this moment.

"I want it..."

Liu Rumeng buried her Face in Cao Kun's arm, her voice thick with tears as she completely surrendered.

"Don't give it to Qingyue... give it to me... I want the pill, and I want you..."

"Please don't leave... don't go looking for her... stay and accompany me... Master... I beg you..."

Her voice was extremely humble, even carrying a hint of pleading.

As soon as she finished speaking.

The System's crisp and pleasant notification sound immediately rang in Cao Kun's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the Jade Beast 'Liu Rumeng's' psychological defenses have completely collapsed, generating a deep sense of submission!]

[taming value +10!]

[Current taming value for Liu Rumeng: 44/100.]

[Reward: 1000 task points!]

[Ding! Detected that the Host's Beast Tamer experience is full.]

[Congratulations to the Host! Beast Tamer Rank promoted to: Intermediate Beast Tamer (201/300)!]

[Jade Beast Slot +1! Current Slots (4/5)!]

Listening to the series of good news in his mind.

Cao Kun felt greatly reassured.

Since a slot had opened up.

Then it was time for that charming green tea Peak Master of Baihua Peak, Meng Yudie, to be served on the table!

Feeling the soft touch on his arm.

Cao Kun turned around with satisfaction.

Looking at Liu Rumeng, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her Face flushed.

He conveniently pinched her chin, which was slightly pouting from grievance.

Leaning into her burning ear, he took the final step onto Liu Rumeng's psychological defenses:

"What's the use of just crying?"

"Since you're begging me to stay..."

"Then shouldn't the little maid change into her work uniform and show some sincerity, hmm?"

Liu Rumeng
