"Tap... tap..."
A knocking sound rang out. After a brief pause, the knocking sounded once more. Seemingly because no one answered after all this time, the door was gently pushed open a crack, and then... Qiu'er poked her head in. She swept her gaze across the living room, but at first glance, she didn't see anyone. She couldn't help but frown. After a moment's hesitation, Qiu'er simply pushed the door open and walked in, heading towards the inner room. Soon after, she discovered the figure lying corpse-like on the bed in the bedroom.
Qiu'er's steps faltered. Then she moved closer, tentatively calling out in a soft voice, "Kong... Mingan?"
The person on the bed showed no reaction.
Qiu'er took a few more steps closer, reached out, and gently pushed his shoulder. The other party still showed no response. An inexplicable panic arose in her heart, and her actions immediately became swift. She leaned down, turned his whole body over, making him lie on his back. Afterward, she placed her hand on his neck, carefully sending a wisp of pure spirit power inside to carefully sense the condition within his body. In just a moment, she confirmed that this guy was asleep. But... was this guy really so lacking in vigilance? Was he truly not afraid she might have ill intentions towards him?
Qiu'er couldn't quite understand it. However, looking at Kong Mingan's completely unguarded, peacefully sleeping appearance before her, Qiu'er hesitated slightly, but still extended her hand. She adjusted his posture a little, making him sleep more comfortably and steadily. Then, she pulled over the nearby blanket and carefully covered him with it. After finishing all this, Qiu'er looked at Kong Mingan, who was now wrapped in the blanket with only his head exposed, a somewhat satisfied expression appearing on her face. This counted as fulfilling her maid duties, right?
Thinking this, Qiu'er paused for a moment. Her gaze fell on someone's peaceful sleeping face. She blinked, couldn't quite resist, and extended a finger to lightly poke his cheek. The touch was warm and elastic. The other party showed no reaction. Qiu'er raised an eyebrow, couldn't resist, and poked again. Seeing he still showed no signs of resistance, Qiu'er's courage gradually grew. She knelt on the bed on one knee, her upper body leaning close, almost pressing her face right up to his. Her eyes meticulously traced his features: the gentle shape of his brows, the long eyelashes, the straight bridge of his nose, and finally, those lips that were now quietly closed. As she looked, Qiu'er couldn't help but recall some scenes of this guy verbally instructing her, guiding her bit by bit. Her gaze sharpened slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter softly, "You... when you're asleep, you look like such a harmless, well-behaved boy. No wonder you can fool so many girls..."
But as she said this, she involuntarily leaned even closer. She paused slightly, extended her finger again, and poked his cheek. Her eyes flickered slightly, and then... an uncontrollable thought popped into her head.
Qiu'er's throat moved slightly. With a very sneaky air, she got up and looked left and right, confirming there was no one else in the room. Then, as if having made up her mind, she gently lifted a corner of the blanket, somewhat clumsily climbed completely onto the bed, and lay down gently beside the youth. Qiu'er pulled the blanket back over herself, then began to inch her body closer to him. At the same time, she kept mentally comforting herself: This is to build up resistance! Yes, that's it, resistance! After all, according to the plan, this day would come sooner or later. I'm just... getting used to the environment ahead of time, making psychological and physiological preparations!
Finally, she added another righteous and stern line in her heart:
This is all for Sister Master!
As if having found the most legitimate reason, Qiu'er hesitated no longer. She turned onto her side, reached out an arm, carefully wrapped it around one of his arms, and gently leaned half her body against him.
Feeling that warmth, different from usual, carrying the relaxed sensation of deep sleep, Qiu'er's body stiffened slightly. Then, as if emboldened, she held on tighter, almost pressing her entire upper body against him. She took a slightly deep breath. The tip of her nose was filled with that unique, pure, cool scent he carried, like some kind of pure Energy. This time, it was completely different from the warm, somewhat suffocating feeling when he bullied her last time. This carried a more real, more intimate sensation that inexplicably made her heartbeat accelerate. She felt like... she had learned something new again?
Qiu'er blinked, unconsciously leaning even closer. Holding on tightly like this, feeling that strange sense of peace and warmth, Qiu'er inexplicably felt a bit drowsy again. It was a bit like the feeling long ago, after she had eaten her fill of brain delicacies and was perfectly satisfied, lying on the grassy shore of the Lake of Life, basking in the sun. So comfortable...
Holding the youth, Qiu'er unconsciously adjusted to a more comfortable position, then closed her eyes. Her breathing gradually became even and long.
Meanwhile, in the Undead Sub-Plane.
Having temporarily diverted the vast majority of his consciousness here and currently engaged in a fierce academic discussion with Electrolux, Kong Mingan's movements paused almost imperceptibly.
Electrolux cast a glance his way. "What's wrong?"
Kong Mingan shook his head, his expression unchanged. "It's nothing."
He had just clearly sensed that his body, located in the Star Dou Great Forest, was being held tightly by a warm, soft body carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance...
Kong Mingan felt a slight stir in his heart, somewhat amused. He suddenly felt that Miss Auspicious Beast was sometimes more proactive and bold than he had anticipated. Just like last time when she took the initiative to visit him and made that request. However, to handle Miss Auspicious Beast's issue, he first had to deal with Miss Dragon King's problem. This order absolutely could not be messed up; otherwise, Miss Dragon King would definitely explode. Only by first persuading Miss Dragon King could he ensure stability...
Kong Mingan shook his head, feeling like he was sprinting headlong in a strange direction. But it didn't matter anymore, since he couldn't turn back now anyway.
Turning his gaze back to Electrolux, Kong Mingan continued the previous topic. "Let's continue, Elder Yi. Where were we just now?"
Electrolux understood and said slowly, "You were talking about how the 'Dharma Form' of the 'Body Cultivator,' due to individual differences, gives rise to different enhancement directions."
Kong Mingan understood and continued his explanation. "This direction has actually already begun to show signs. For example, the idea proposed by Elder Mu: on the foundation of the 'Dharma Form,' attaching one's own light attribute, enabling it to not only utilize blood and Qi power but also to wield light power. He has already achieved initial success in this aspect. This is an excellent direction, which can be seen as the 'Spell Cultivator' system supplementing and enhancing the 'Body Cultivator.'"
He paused, then gave another example. "Also, Xiong Jun proposed a very interesting idea. He attempted to fuse various high-density metals into his own Dharma Form, greatly enhancing its physical strength and destructive power. I tentatively call this path the 'Golden Body Dharma Form.' It can also be classified as another supplementary path of the 'Artifact Cultivator' for the 'Body Cultivator.'
"In short, the three major systems are by no means independent, but rather interwoven, complementing each other. Ultimately, they are three in one, fused into a single whole."
