403: Reduce intelligence by 50%

However, just at this moment, Chen Xuan happened to walk in, and when he saw Hua Mengjie in a maid outfit, with her graceful figure, his eyes immediately lit up.

Hua Mengjie was originally as serene and elegant as a secluded orchid in a quiet valley, and her delicate face and slender figure, set against this unique attire, appeared even more ethereal and refined.

The clothes she wore were not of the extravagant and "complex" style, so every detail perfectly outlined her curvy beauty and agile posture.

As Chen Xuan approached, her flowing garments seemed to stir a gentle breeze, carrying a faint, elusive fragrance.

Such a scene, the impact it had on Chen Xuan's mind, was like a heavy bomb exploding deep within his brain!

Then, he was seen with a satisfied smile on his lips, unable to help but exclaim:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! How beautiful! Mengjie, when you wear such clothes, you truly look like my family's servant! These clothes, they're practically tailor-made for you."

Saying this, he even walked closer, circling Hua Mengjie once, meticulously admiring her beauty.

"This, this isn't very suitable..."

"Let's talk in the living room."

Chen Xuan turned around directly, ignoring Hua Mengjie.

"Yes."

Just like a reflex, Hua Mengjie agreed without thinking. She herself was slightly startled by this.

"Come, give me a leg massage."

Chen Xuan leaned lazily on the sofa, his legs casually resting on the footstool, his eyes intently fixed on the intelligence reports about the City of Slaughter in his hand.

His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the paper, discerning every hidden secret and danger within it.

Upon hearing the command, Hua Mengjie softly replied, "Yes, Master."

A complex, inexpressible emotion welled up in her heart, a hint of shame, yet at the same time, it all seemed so natural.

However, seeing Chen Xuan's focused expression, she quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Hua Mengjie slowly walked to Chen Xuan's side, then knelt down.

Chen Xuan's legs were positioned low, so she could only do this, and coupled with Chen Xuan's previous hint, she had no other choice.

Then, she gently raised her jade-like arms, formed her delicate, slender hands into fists like green onions, and began to gently and rhythmically massage Chen Xuan's legs.

Each descending fist applied just the right amount of force, neither causing Chen Xuan pain nor effectively relieving the fatigue in his legs.

At the same time, Hua Mengjie's beautiful eyes were not idle; instead, she occasionally glanced at the information about the Cultivation World also placed on the coffee table. She had not left her room for three months, so she was very curious about this information.

However, just as Hua Mengjie was fully absorbed in the two important pieces of information before her, suddenly, she felt a warm and broad hand gently land on her beautiful hair.

That hand was like a feather, lightly brushing her hair, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Hua Mengjie's delicate body trembled, but she dared not move, merely continuing to massage Chen Xuan's legs in silence.

But at this moment, her heart was like a vast, turbulent ocean, fear and a different kind of excitement intertwining.

As a beautiful woman in the prime of her "youthful years," despite her best efforts to remain calm, her body's instinctive reactions were so real and irresistible.

At this moment, her heart felt as if it would leap out of her throat, beating violently, its rapid rhythm making her feel somewhat breathless.

The Qi and blood within her surged like a tumultuous tide, instantly coloring her fair face, even her earlobes tinged with a vibrant blush.

Is it affection? Or something else?

And that hand, originally gentle and delicate, now became increasingly uninhibited, and facing a Great Ascension Stage Cultivator, it actually trailed along her beautiful hair, finally resting on her fair, slender neck.

Hua Mengjie's cheeks were already as rosy and alluring as ripe apples. Although she knew what shame was, facing this Master, she dared not show any resistance.

Who made Chen Xuan, the person before her, the key to her beloved Qingfeng Brother's successful Breakthrough to the Great Ascension Stage, the only useful resource they could currently exploit?

Then, she slowly turned her head, her gaze seemingly inadvertently darting a quick glance at Chen Xuan, then quickly lowering her eyes like a startled deer, her hands still mechanically continuing to massage his legs.

However, her slightly trembling body and increasingly hurried breathing all betrayed her inner tension and unease.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, having taken in Hua Mengjie's apprehension, couldn't help but curl his lips into a smug smile.

He felt increasingly emboldened, and his courage grew with it.

Facing the Great Ascension Stage Cultivator, he extended his right hand, his thumb and index finger skillfully working together, gently pinching Hua Mengjie's delicate and soft chin, applying a slight force, compelling her to turn her face and look up directly at him.

Chen Xuan smiled, his gaze gentle and focused as he stared at Hua Mengjie before him.

Hua Mengjie, on the other hand, appeared somewhat flustered, her small hands still continuously lightly massaging Chen Xuan's legs, but because Chen Xuan held her chin tightly and wouldn't let go, she could neither break free nor dare to easily avoid him.

At this moment, Hua Mengjie's eyes were filled with a look of grievance, her pitiful appearance making one feel an uncontrollable sense of pity.

"Since you came to my home, you have always behaved very obediently and sensibly. This, I am very satisfied with," Chen Xuan said slowly, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority.

"Thank, thank you for the compliment, Master!"

"Moreover, you have always been obedient to my words, and you've done very well in that regard. However, you must understand that being obedient is not merely superficial compliance; more importantly, it is true inner submission and respect. So, from now on, can you continue to obediently listen to my words like this?"

Upon hearing these words, Hua Mengjie's delicate body trembled slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she finally responded with a voice so soft it was almost inaudible, so low it couldn't be any lower: "Mhm..."

At the same time, as if worried Chen Xuan couldn't quite hear, she gently nodded, indicating that she understood Chen Xuan's meaning.

Her entire mind was a mess at this point; she didn't even know where she was anymore.

Most people could handle Chen Xuan's move, but unfortunately, this person couldn't. Her intelligence had been lowered, and moreover, she had a favor to ask.

"System, how much has her intelligence been lowered now?"

"Ding, Hua Mengjie's intelligence has been lowered by 50%. She is now easily swayed in her judgment, but she is still 50% conscious, so Host, you..."

"Go, go, go, you dog System, what do you take me for, huh? Let me repeat, I am a... Five! Good! Youth!"

"As long as you're happy."

"..."
