On the large bed, torn pieces of a red and blue skin-tight suit were scattered all over the floor.
Zhou Jialu lay limply on Su Bai's broad chest. Looking as if she had just been fished out of the water, she didn't have a single ounce of strength left in her body.
Her face, which usually carried a hint of shrewdness and charm, was now full of docility and submission. A crystal-clear tear track that she hadn't had time to wipe away still lingered at the corner of her eye.
"Junior... you're simply a monster," Zhou Jialu said in a hoarse voice, weakly pounding Su Bai's chest with a fist. Her tone was full of coquettishness.
Su Bai chuckled, his large hand gently stroking her smooth, bare back.
Possessing a physique of 160 points that broke through human limits, coupled with the terrifying recovery power of his "Fountain Physique," the stormy tossing and turning just now didn't even count as a warm-up for him. Instead, it left him feeling refreshed and bursting with so much energy he had nowhere to vent it.
Zhou Jialu struggled to get up to wash in the bathroom, but as soon as she moved, her legs felt so sore and weak that she fell back down, unable to hold back a sweet, breathy gasp.
"Alright, just lie down and behave, Madam Manager," Su Bai laughed, giving her perky rear a light smack. Then, he threw off the covers, got out of bed, and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her straight to the bathtub.
By the time he had thoroughly cleaned Zhou Jialu and carried her back to bed, the club manager who usually oversaw everything couldn't even keep her eyes open. She obediently snuggled against Su Bai's arm and fell into a deep sleep. A sweet and satisfied smile lingered at the corners of her delicate mouth; her sleeping face was incredibly beautiful.
Su Bai looked at her stunning sleeping face, smiled, and tucked her in. Then, he put on a bathrobe and quietly walked out of the master bedroom.
Outside the master bedroom was a quiet and luxurious corridor.
The soundproofing of the East Lake Private Club was world-class. Even if the world were turning upside down outside, not a single sound could be heard in the hallway.
Su Bai stretched his long legs, walking down the corridor paved with heavy Persian carpets, and finally stopped in front of a door.
An exquisite little wooden sign hung on the door of this room, with the words "Yuning Studio" written in elegant handwriting.
This was Lu Yuning's exclusive room.
When Liu Chenhu helped build this top-tier private club, Su Bai reserved the most luxurious suites for his female confidantes. When allocating the rooms, most of the other girls chose scenic rooms with an open view and outdoor balconies.
Only Lu Yuning, who was introverted and slightly socially anxious, timidly pulled on the hem of Su Bai's shirt and quietly made a strange request.
"Boss, I... could I have a room that combines a studio and a bedroom? It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can fit my sewing machine and dress form. That way, I can immerse myself in the joy of fashion design all the time, and whenever inspiration strikes, I can draw right away..."
Thinking of that little girl whose eyes lit up whenever fashion design was mentioned, the corners of Su Bai's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Naturally, he unconditionally fulfilled Lu Yuning's request. Not only did he assign her this room of over a hundred square meters with excellent lighting, but he also spent a fortune purchasing the top professional design computers on the market, high-precision pattern-making equipment, and various rare fabric samples.
Su Bai stood in front of the door and raised his hand to knock gently.
"Come in."
Lu Yuning's soft and slightly puzzled voice soon came from inside the room.
Su Bai pushed the door open and walked in.
The layout of the room was highly artistic. The left half was a warm and spacious bedroom, while the right half was filled with various design blueprints, fabric swatches, and several wooden dress forms draped in semi-finished gowns.
Under the soft, eye-protecting light, Lu Yuning was sitting at a large computer desk. She wore an extremely loose moon-white cotton nightgown, but it still couldn't hide her S-tier devilish figure. On the contrary, the softness of the fabric perfectly traced the shockingly full contours of her chest.
A pair of black-framed blue-light-blocking glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, adding a touch of intellectual charm. At this moment, she was staring intently at the screen, her fair and slender fingers rapidly scrolling the mouse wheel.
Hearing the noise, Lu Yuning turned her head.
When she saw clearly that the person standing at the door was Su Bai, she froze for a moment, and then her autumn-water-like eyes instantly burst with dazzling brilliance.
"B-Boss?!"
Lu Yuning exclaimed and hurriedly stood up from her ergonomic chair. Because she moved too fast, she almost bumped into the dress form next to her.
Her delicate and elegant face was filled with unbelievable surprise. She trotted over to Su Bai, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her nightgown as she looked at him in disbelief.
"Why did you come over at this hour?" Lu Yuning murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly.
She had thought that since Su Bai took Zhou Jialu back to his room tonight, he would definitely be doting on that sexy and charming manager, and perhaps even tossing about with Chen Yusheng or Xia Lin too. As a socially anxious designer who only knew how to stay cooped up in her room drawing all day, she was destined to spend tonight solely with her design drafts.
She never expected that Su Bai would take the initiative to visit her studio.
"What, am I not welcome?" Looking at the pleasantly surprised little girl in front of him, Su Bai couldn't help but reach out and pinch her slightly baby-fat cheeks. They felt warm and soft to the touch.
"No, no! How could you not be welcome!" Lu Yuning shook her head like a rattle drum. A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
She pulled Su Bai's arm and peeked behind him curiously. "Boss, did you come to find me for something urgent? Or... are you hungry and want a midnight snack?"
"I don't want a midnight snack. I came to talk business with you." Su Bai pulled over a nearby chair and sat down, casually pulling Lu Yuning down to sit beside him.
Lu Yuning sat obediently close to Su Bai, exuding a faint, pleasant scent of body wash.
"What were you looking at just now, so focused?" Su Bai glanced at the computer screen.
Lu Yuning pushed her glasses up somewhat shyly and explained softly, "I was looking at some recent foreign fashion design results. A few independent Italian designers have made some very interesting breakthroughs in fabric splicing and ergonomic tailoring. I was just wondering if we could apply these techniques to the children's clothing designs for our new brand."
The moment she talked about her field of expertise, the social anxiety and nervousness in Lu Yuning's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a charming confidence and focus.
Su Bai looked at her serious demeanor and smiled. "Alright, as expected of my chief designer, you're dedicated enough. However, today, I have a much more challenging design proposal here. I need a professional like you to help me check it over and analyze the principles."
"Huh? A new design proposal?" Lu Yuning paused for a moment and blinked in confusion. "Is... is it about the flagship style for the new brand? Or a custom-made evening gown?"
"Neither," Su Bai said, a wicked smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. He pulled his phone straight out of his bathrobe pocket, swiped across the screen a few times, and handed it to Lu Yuning.
"Take a look at this."
Confused, Lu Yuning took the phone and looked down at the screen.
On the screen was the product details page of a high-end online store. Right in the center of the page, the model showcase prominently featured a red-and-blue Spider-Man full-body suit, clinging so tightly it almost distorted the female model's figure.
Scrolling further down, there were various Venom and Ultraman designs, and even bizarre tight fabrics featuring all sorts of cutouts and special zipper designs.
In the detailed product description, a few lines of extremely explicit promotional text were written in large, bold font:
[High-polymer composite stretch fabric, perfectly fitting the human body's curves! The interior features a special interlaced stitching design. When the body engages in large movements such as walking, squatting, or twisting the hips, the fabric's tension automatically converts into rhythmic local contractions, bringing an unprecedented fully automatic massage experience...]
As Lu Yuning read on, her beautiful eyes gradually widened into perfect circles. She froze in place as if struck by lightning.
Although she was an innocent, perhaps even somewhat conservative, socially anxious girl, she was still a top-tier fashion designer. Her understanding of human anatomy and fabric characteristics far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Looking at those bizarre stitching diagrams on the screen and reading between the lines about the "automatic massage" function, she understood the true purpose of this garment in an instant!
This... this wasn't some proper bodysuit at all. This was clearly a highly provocative, specialized erotic prop meant for doing those shameful things!
Instantly, Lu Yuning's originally pale and delicate face flushed furiously red at a visible speed, so red it looked as if it might drip water.
That scorching heat spread all the way down her cheeks, directly dyeing her long, fair neck, her crystal-clear earlobes, and even the large expanse of snow-white skin connecting to her delicate collarbones in an alluring shade of pink.
She felt her heart skip a beat before it started thrashing wildly in her chest like a frightened deer, and even her breathing became somewhat rapid.
"B-Boss..."
Lu Yuning stammered, her voice as faint as a mosquito's. She was so embarrassed she didn't even dare to lift her head, wishing she could just find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Her hands gripped the edges of the phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Su Bai, however, acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He reached out and wrapped an arm around her slender waist, shamelessly leaning close to her ear to ask in a completely serious tone, "Yuning, you're the professional. Help me take a look. Are the fabric tension mechanics and internal stitching described on this suit actually reliable? What physical principle does it use to create that contracting and rubbing effect just from walking? What is this principle called in fashion design?"
Hearing Su Bai's deep, warm voice echoing in her ear, feeling the heat of his large hand resting on her waist, and looking at the highly visually impactful promotional image of the bodysuit on the phone screen, Lu Yuning felt as if her brain's CPU was about to fry.
She shrank stiffly into Su Bai's embrace, her mind turning into a jumbled mess as a wave of shame completely engulfed her.
Good heavens!
Her boss had come to her studio in the middle of the night, not to do anything else, but to actually make her, a proper fashion designer, help him analyze the massage principles of this erotic bodysuit?!
This made Lu Yuning blush profusely, wondering to herself why on earth her boss was paying attention to such bizarre and embarrassing knowledge!

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...
