114: This is my aunt's last pair of shoes.

“I’m going to get rich!”

Shadow Six trembled with excitement.

He looked at the ancient bronze gate, as if he saw a broad road leading to supreme power.

He really didn’t hold grudges at all.

Once I get the inheritance inside… Shadow One said I was an idiot, kill him!

The other Shadow Guards said I was crazy, kill them!

That dog couple made me a laughingstock, they must be killed too!

Right now, his mind was only on this gate.

He tried to approach again, but each time he was repelled by an invisible force.

He subconsciously thought that this gate required a specific key or method to open.

He began to carefully observe the patterns on the gate, trying to find clues.

These patterns were obscure and difficult to understand, as if they contained the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. He looked at them intently but gained nothing.

On the other side, within the secret realm.

Lu Ming thoughtfully helped Bai Qiuyue put on her clothes.

During these three days in the ruins, Bai Qiuyue had always been a pure and innocent maiden.

It wasn't that Lu Ming was a beast, but every time he had just helped her change her clothes, the curse would act up again.

Under the influence of the curse, Bai Qiuyue transformed from a fairy on a cloud into a clingy, alluring snake.

Her bold demeanor even surpassed that of the experienced Xu Lulu.

It was no exaggeration to say that Bai Qiuyue, in her rookie season, had achieved Xu Lulu's best career statistics.

Aunt Bai was nearly 175 cm tall, the voluptuous married woman type.

She could perfectly play positions one through five.

Plus, she was at the age of highest comprehension.

Lu Ming only needed to give a little guidance, and she successfully carried him, her head coach… Lu Ming had just fastened the last button and patted the stray grass from her back.

He saw Bai Qiuyue’s body sway slightly, subconsciously taking a post-up stance, and her originally clear eyes instantly clouded with a layer of mist.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.

Aunt Bai, what has it come to?

He was about to speak a reminder.

Bai Qiuyue suddenly snapped back to her senses.

Oh no, what have I done!

Immediately after, a scorching heat surged from Bai Qiuyue's toes straight to the top of her head, and her cheeks instantly turned so red they looked like they would drip blood.

When she met Lu Ming's half-smile expression,

the Director of the White Tiger Bureau completely broke down.

It’s all this unfilial brat’s fault for all the tricks he pulled!

“You’re still laughing!” Bai Qiuyue gritted her teeth and glared at him, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

“If it weren’t for you, this scoundrel, constantly teaching me those absurd things, would I have become like this now?”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched Lu Ming’s waist.

She even secretly added a little more force.

She was still seething with shame and annoyance, and she had to make this scoundrel suffer a bit.

But seeing Lu Ming grimace, her heart softened again, her fingertips unconsciously loosened their grip, and her phoenix eyes couldn't help but roll at him, chiding, “I hope it hurts you to death!”

Despite saying that, her fingertips didn't immediately move away; instead, she secretly used her thumb to rub the spot she had just pinched.

Lu Ming chuckled, “Aunt Bai still dotes on me…”

Seeing his grinning face, Bai Qiuyue glared at him, putting her hands on her hips, trying hard to project an elder's authoritative demeanor.

“I don’t care! After we go back, for three months…”

Bai Qiuyue thought for a moment and realized three months was too long, as the curse could relapse at any time, so she immediately corrected herself.

“You’re not allowed to touch me for one month!”

Lu Ming looked at her serious expression, finding it somewhat amusing.

Lu Ming cleared his throat and replied earnestly, “Aunt Bai, the way you say that, it’s as if I was the one touching you before.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuyue's pretty face instantly flushed red again.

Her chest heaved with anger as she pointed at Lu Ming's nose, her voice trembling slightly: “You, you’re still talking! Haven’t you touched me enough these three days?!”

As she spoke, she suddenly realized that she had been the one initiating things these past three days, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Seeing this, Lu Ming quickly raised his hands in surrender: “Alright, alright, I won’t say anything, I was wrong. But one month is too long, how about a discount, one week?”

“No!” Bai Qiuyue refused unequivocally, “Just one month! And I get to choose the time and place.”

Lu Ming pouted, feigning grievance: “Aunt Bai, you’re really abandoning me after I’ve served my purpose.”

Bai Qiuyue looked at his expression, feeling both angry and amused.

She dared not indulge his temperament; this brat was like a donkey, completely unaware of fatigue.

Every time she was worn out, she felt utterly exhausted.

If Zhao Qingge and the others noticed anything, she wouldn't be able to live with herself.

Therefore, regarding the dignity of her senior sister and herself as an aunt, there was no room for compromise!

She let out a soft snort: “Don’t even try! Besides, these past three days, I’ve put in no less effort.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her body tingled again, and her eyes instantly clouded with a layer of mist.

Seeing this, Lu Ming felt like playing ball again.

Actually, delaying their return by a day or two wouldn't make much difference.

“Aunt Bai, has your curse acted up again?”

Bai Qiuyue saw through his thoughts instantly and spat at him, “I’m fine, just a little tired.”

Then, she stretched out her two snow-white, jade-like feet in front of Lu Ming and wiggled them.

“Don’t you like them very much? Help me put on my shoes.”

As she spoke, she took out a pair of white high heels from her storage bag.

Lu Ming took the shoes, a slight smile curving his lips… Three hours later.

【Kindling +100!】

...Bai Qiuyue, her face flushed, indignantly took out another pair of black high heels from her storage bag and threw them in front of Lu Ming.

Her tone carried a hint of command, a touch of coquettishness, and a faint, almost imperceptible weariness: “These are Auntie’s last pair of shoes, no more crooked ideas!”

Lu Ming looked at the black high heels, a playful smile on his lips.

This Aunt Bai, she said no, but her body was very honest.

“As you command, Director Bai.”

He knelt on one knee, carefully helping her put on her shoes and tie the laces.

When Lu Ming helped Bai Qiuyue put on those high heels, her cheeks flushed again.

She looked at him kneeling on one knee, feeling both shy and sweet.

This little rascal really had her completely under his thumb.

“Why are you still standing there? Aren’t we leaving?”

Bai Qiuyue urged, feigning composure, but secretly she was a little reluctant to end this intimate moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming stood up, helped her up from the ground, and asked softly, “Aunt Bai, does it still hurt?”

Bai Qiuyue immediately glared at him upon hearing this, chiding him with embarrassment: “It’s all your fault, you scoundrel, for making me delay here for so long!”

As she spoke, she gently pinched Lu Ming’s waist again.

Lu Ming chuckled, not minding at all, and just held her hand tightly… At the same time, Shadow Six broke down!

This damned bronze gate!

He had used every trick in the book, exhausted every method, even consuming his own essence blood, but the gate remained unmoving.

He looked at the obscure and difficult-to-understand patterns on the door, feeling his scalp tingle, as if he saw a giant smiling face mocking him.

“Why? Why?!”

Shadow Six screamed hysterically, his voice filled with unwillingness and rage…
