Inside the Laboratory, the atmosphere was a bit strange. On the sofa, Kong Mingan sat between the two of them. One hand gently held Donger's soft little hand as he closed his eyes to sense her condition. Beside him, Donger peacefully let Kong Mingan examine her without resisting. However, those blue-pink eyes were constantly fixed on Qiu'er, who was separated from her by Kong Mingan, her gaze filled with inquiry. In response, Qiu'er didn't speak, her body unconsciously leaning toward Kong Mingan as if trying to use him to block Donger's inquisitive gaze. The atmosphere froze slightly. After a long while, Kong Mingan withdrew his hand, the silver radiance on his fingertips dissipating; he had finished the examination.
Looking at Donger, Kong Mingan said, "There is no longer any problem with your Soul. For now, you can adapt to the changes in your Spirit first; there is no need to rush to Cultivate it."
"However, regarding your strength... Cultivate hard. As a Divine RankSpirit, the Sea God Martial Soul will make your cultivation speed very fast..."
Kong Mingan thought for a moment. His plans included matters related to the ocean and the subsequent strengthening of Donger's Sea God Martial Soul. These matters basically confirmed that he would have to make a trip to the sea later. At that time, he would take Dong Ji with him as well. If Donger's strength was high enough by then, it would be much more convenient, though it wasn't strictly necessary—it would just be the icing on the cake.
After a moment of silence, he decided to give Donger some motivation: "If you Breakthrough to Spirit Saint within a year, I'll count it as... completing five Red-rank commissions, with five times the subsidy. How about it?"
Immediately, Wang Dong'er was in no mood to obsess over whether her best friend had gone out for a session with her Chairman. Her blue-pink eyes sparkled, and her exquisite little face was full of seriousness. "No problem, Chairman!"
Donger straightened her back and answered very seriously.
"Then make your own arrangements. Just call me if you need anything." After giving Donger one last instruction, Kong Mingan turned to look at Qiu'er and naturally reached out his hand. Since a moment ago, Qiu'er had been secretly poking him with her finger, with a hint of urging, signaling him both overtly and covertly that she wanted to slip away and didn't want to stay here. It was only because he was examining Donger that he hadn't responded to her yet. But now...
Seeing him reach out, Qiu'er almost impatiently stuffed her hand into his palm, her movements so large it was as if she were fleeing a crime scene.
Donger watched their held hands gloomily, then withdrew her gaze from the blue-pink eyes, adopting an 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude. Fine, let Qiu'er do whatever she wanted; she was too lazy to interfere. She was going to Cultivate hard and get that subsidy!
Just like that, Donger watched as spatial ripples spread and the two figures disappeared from the Laboratory. Immediately after, she entered a state of cultivation.
On the other side, in the Star Dou Great Forest, inside the silver radiance tree, in Kong Mingan's room—
Kong Mingan and Qiu'er stepped out of the spatial ripples together. As soon as they stepped out, Qiu'er looked around at the familiar room layout and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Being watched by Donger's inquisitive eyes, she felt strange all over, like she was being caught in the act of sneaking food, making her uncomfortable from head to toe.
But now, only she and this culprit were left in the room...
Qiu'er's heart skipped a few more beats unhelpfully. Recalling the conversation before this guy pinned her against the wall and kissed her, she bit her lower lip, a trace of humiliation appearing on her face. But before long, she turned around resolutely and walked toward the door. She turned abruptly and headed outside—she was going to change her clothes! Right now! Immediately!
Isn't it just a maid outfit? She'd show him! After he saw it, would he finally stop?!
However, she had barely taken a step when her wrist was gently grabbed from behind. Qiu'er paused, turned her head, her cheeks puffed out, and her glass-like red eyes looked at Kong Mingan unkindly. "What do you want to do now?"
Kong Mingan raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding why Qiu'er had suddenly bristled. Was she... provoked by Donger, so she was hissing? Kong Mingan was puzzled and simply asked back calmly, "It's what you want to do."
Qiu'er turned her head away, snorting coldly, her tone self-destructive as if she wanted to perish together: "Didn't you want to see me in a maid outfit and then lift the skirt to show you the undergarments?! I'm going to change right now! After I change and you see it, you can do whatever you want with me!"
After saying that, she even tried to shake her hand free, but unfortunately, she didn't succeed. Kong Mingan was momentarily speechless. He suddenly felt that at certain times, Qiu'er was unusually stubborn and headstrong. "There's no need to be in such a hurry..." he said slowly, trying to calm the bristling Young Miss maid. "...I'll buy you some more clothes later, and we'll do it then."
"You even want to play with custom-made ones?!" Qiu'er didn't move; instead, she took a step closer, her eyes becoming dangerous. "Are you treating me as your dress-up doll? Changing clothes as you please!"
She should have run faster. After all, the sooner she changed, the sooner it would be over. Look at this—she ran too slowly, and this guy had another whim and made an even more excessive request!
Thinking this, she glared at Kong Mingan, her tone becoming somewhat unreasonable: "I don't care. Either let go now and let me change into the maid outfit to show you, or... I'll take them off for you to see right now!"
By the last few words, Qiu'er's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were stubborn and did not dodge. Hearing this, Kong Mingan paused for a moment, his gaze unconsciously sizing up her current outfit. The girl was wearing casual clothes that were easy to move in today. Her upper body was a slim-fitting white stand-collar shirt; the fabric was crisp, outlining the girl's youthful and well-proportioned curves. Though they looked well-proportioned, he actually knew that Qiu'er was not to be underestimated...
Because after switching to being a Body Cultivator, Qiu'er often performed high-intensity physical exercise. For convenience, she usually used a special chest binder for restriction. As for why he knew this so clearly...
Well, when he was bullying Qiu'er in the Laboratory just now, he seemed to have accidentally rubbed the chest binder a bit loose. Otherwise, how do you think the button popped?
Anyway, at this moment, the girl's collar was slightly open, revealing a section of her fair, beautiful neck and delicate collarbone. The hem of the shirt was tucked into a black pleated miniskirt. The skirt length was above the knees, revealing a pair of straight, slender legs. The girl wasn't wearing stockings today, and her skin was dazzlingly white under the soft light of the room, showing a healthy glow. In short, she looked very beautiful.
He looked at the Qiu'er before him, who seemed ready to face death, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes. Then, a smile played at the corners of his mouth: "It's fine if you want to take them off now. I don't mind; after all, you requested it yourself..."
"You...!"
Qiu'er was furious, her silver teeth grinding. Qiu'er was the type who couldn't stand being goaded. She stared at Kong Mingan, then took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and reached out to grab the lapel of her shirt, making a gesture as if to rip it open and have it out with this guy. However, just as her fingertips touched the fabric, Kong Mingan added another sentence unhurriedly: "...However, you wouldn't want Gu Yue to see you like this, would you, my Young Miss maid?"
