Su Bai looked at Lu Yuning's beautiful face, which was so red it looked like it could bleed, and couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.
He put his phone away and casually pinched her warm, delicate earlobe, teasing, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. But you really should look into the mechanics of this clothing. In a while, you can use this high-stretch fabric to custom-make a few improved sets of pajamas for the girls. They'll be comfortable to wear."
Lu Yuning trembled slightly at his touch. Blushing, she nodded obediently, her voice as soft as a mosquito. "U-understood, boss. I will carefully study the stitching and elasticity distribution of this fabric..."
Su Bai smiled in satisfaction and turned to look around the studio.
The left half of the room featured a cozy single bed covered with a beige pure cotton sheet. It was neat and tidy, with an adorable plush bear sitting next to it.
Although the bed was much smaller than the one in the master bedroom of the luxury apartment, it was definitely more than enough to fit two people if they squeezed together.
Su Bai stretched his back, rolled his shoulders, and strode over to the bed with his long legs, lying down without any hesitation.
"After a busy day, I'm too lazy to drag myself back to the master bedroom." Su Bai patted the empty spot next to him and smiled at Lu Yuning. "I'll sleep here tonight, Yuning. You don't mind, do you?"
"Huh?"
Lu Yuning let out a gasp, freezing in place instantly. Her beautiful, autumn-water eyes widened into perfect circles, filled with awkwardness and panic.
She never expected that after Su Bai finished tossing about with Zhou Jialu tonight, he would actually choose to stay overnight in her small office-turned-bedroom.
"That... that might not be a good idea, boss," Lu Yuning stammered, twisting the hem of her nightgown with both hands. "My bed is too small, and... and I toss and turn in my sleep. What if I crowd you? How about you go back to the master bedroom? Sister Jialu and the others are definitely still waiting for you..."
"They are all fast asleep. If I go back, I'll just wake them up." Su Bai rested his hands behind his head, watching her at his leisure. His tone was domineering yet laced with an undeniable gentleness. "Besides, isn't a smaller bed just right? It's warmer when we squeeze together. What, do you despise me?"
"No, no! I absolutely don't despise you, boss!"
Terrified that Su Bai would misunderstand, Lu Yuning hurriedly waved her fair little hands to explain.
Her exquisite face was full of tension. Because of her anxiety, the astonishingly full curves of her chest heaved violently, outlining an extremely enticing silhouette beneath the loose nightgown.
Counting the days, it had been quite a while since she last shared a bed with her boss. In truth, Lu Yuning had been thinking about it every single day.
Su Bai looked at her shy and adorable appearance, finding it a feast for the eyes. He sat up and waved her over. "Alright, don't just stand there. Come here."
Lu Yuning pursed her moist red lips, hesitating for a moment before finally shuffling over to the edge of the bed with small, obedient steps.
Su Bai grabbed her soft, boneless little hand and, with a slight pull, drew her down to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Look at you, sitting in front of the computer drawing and making patterns every day, sitting for over ten hours at a time. Your shoulders and cervical spine are so stiff." Su Bai's palms naturally rested on her round, fragrant shoulders. Through the thin cotton fabric, he could clearly feel the tightness of her muscles. "Your boss is in a good mood today, so I'll give you a free full-body massage to help you relax, lest you develop occupational diseases in the future."
"Boss, there's no need... I can just rub it myself..." Lu Yuning tried to dodge, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Don't move. Be a good girl and lie on your stomach."
Su Bai held her shoulders down with a forceful tone, flipping her over so she obediently lay face down on the soft pillow.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Lu Yuning could only blush and meekly bury her face in the pillow, revealing only a pair of fair, delicate ears.
Su Bai straddled her from behind, his long, powerful hands beginning to roam over her shoulders and neck.
He wasn't just massaging blindly. In a previous system reward, he had obtained a god-tier skill called Causality Physiotherapy. Even the world's top masters of traditional Chinese medicine massage would have to bow in defeat before Su Bai's technique.
"Mmm..."
When Su Bai's fingers first pressed onto Lu Yuning's Jianjing acupoint, she felt an indescribable aching sensation instantly wash over her, followed by a wave of extreme numbness and pleasure. She couldn't help but close her eyes, a sweet, soft moan escaping her throat.
"How's the pressure? Is it too heavy?" Su Bai asked softly as he kneaded.
"It's just right... so comfortable..." Lu Yuning's voice was muffled in the pillow, carrying a hint of languor and enjoyment.
Su Bai smiled faintly, his hands traveling all the way down her spine. During the massage, he quietly circulated the special inner energy within his body, slowly infusing traces of warm Causality Physiotherapy energy into Lu Yuning's body through his fingertips.
This energy was like a warm spring, instantly flowing through all of Lu Yuning's limbs and bones, sweeping away all the accumulated fatigue and soreness in her body.
But soon, Lu Yuning realized something was wrong.
While this warm energy helped relax her muscles, it actually began to gather in her lower abdomen. The heat became increasingly obvious, following her blood circulation and causing her body temperature to rise rapidly.
"Uhh..."
Lu Yuning's body suddenly tensed up, her hands tightly gripping the bedsheets beneath her.
She felt the originally pleasant numbness gradually change its flavor, turning into an electric-like stimulation that continuously roamed across the surface of her skin. Every time Su Bai's fingertips glided over her back, it brought about a shuddering tremble that made her quiver.
"Boss... did you... did you add something to your technique..."
Lu Yuning finally couldn't hold back anymore. She turned her head slightly, her eyes already covered with a layer of mist, wet and full of haziness and shyness. Her originally rosy face was now burning red, and even her fair neck and delicate collarbones were flushed with a tempting pink hue.
"How could I? This is an authentic physiotherapy technique, specifically for promoting blood circulation, removing stasis, and clearing the meridians." A wicked smile curled on Su Bai's lips as his fingers deliberately slid gently over her sensitive waist. "How does it feel? Do you feel your whole body heating up and your blood flowing smoothly?"
"It's... it is heating up... but..."
Lu Yuning bit her red lip, completely unable to utter the rest of her words.
That was nowhere near simple blood circulation. She felt as if her body was as soft as a puddle of water at this moment. The strange, burning sensation in her lower abdomen was like a wildfire on a wasteland, spreading madly and tormenting her to the point of a near breakdown.
Although she was introverted and conservative by nature, at this very moment, under the catalysis of Su Bai's miraculous physiotherapy technique, her body's most instinctual desires had been completely awakened.
She wanted Su Bai to hold her.
She wanted to do even more intimate and shameful things with Su Bai.
However, that bone-deep sense of shame and her socially anxious personality acted like a heavy lock, tightly clamping around her throat.
Honestly, even though she had slept with her boss many times, she was still too shy to ask for it out loud.
Looking at Su Bai's handsome face with its teasing smile, the words reached the tip of her tongue several times, only for her to forcefully swallow them back down.
"Boss... stop pressing... I... I don't want a massage anymore..." Lu Yuning said with a slight sob in her voice, trying to shift her body on the bed to escape Su Bai's mischievous large hands.
However, her entire body was limp and weak. In Su Bai's eyes, her feeble struggles looked more like a coquettish display of playing hard to get.
Su Bai's large hands trailed down her perky curves, pressing onto her thighs as the energy of the causality therapy intensified a bit more.
"That won't do. A therapy session needs to be completed in full; giving up halfway won't have any effect." Su Bai leaned in close, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive ear as he spoke in a deep, magnetic voice. "Yuning, you're sweating so much, and why is your body trembling so intensely? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you are, you have to tell your boss."
Listening to Su Bai's deliberately clueless teasing, Lu Yuning's rationality finally completely surrendered in that moment.
The warm waves crashed against her mind one after another, turning her consciousness into a hazy blur, leaving only her body's most primal and intense instincts to control her.
She turned over, lying flat on her back on the bed. Her watery eyes completely lost their focus, filled with a hazy desire.
"Boss... mm..."
Lu Yuning took the initiative to reach out her fair, slender arms, wrapping them tremblingly around Su Bai's neck. Her exquisite, pretty face pressed tightly against his chest as a sickeningly sweet, almost crying whimper escaped her lips.
"Boss... please... I feel so restless..."
She murmured incoherently, her voice soft and charming, like a little kitten that had completely let down its guard and was ready to be taken, squirming uneasily in Su Bai's embrace.
This slurred yet bone-deeply seductive demand instantly turned into a raging fire, burning the rationality Su Bai had been trying so hard to suppress into absolute ashes.
Su Bai felt a wicked fire shoot straight to his head, his blood completely boiling over in this moment. Looking at the girl in his arms, her face flushed like peach blossoms, shy to the extreme yet actively begging for him, how could he possibly hold back any longer?
And so...
That night, the lights in the studio remained on, and Su Bai thoroughly pampered Ningning for the entire night.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
