Qin Luo...Puncture for Me...

Su Muwan nodded and smiled, "Yes, although home is nice, it's not as free as being outside."

"Oh?" Ning Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, her gaze darting between Su Muwan and Qin Luo. Finally, she gave a knowing look: "Real freedom or fake freedom?"

Su Muwan: ?

She slowly raised a question mark, then seemed to notice her mother's gaze filled with mysterious amusement. Her face reddened and she glared at her mother in annoyance, "Mom, what are you thinking?! There's nothing between Qin Luo and me!"

Hearing this, Ning Qingxuan blinked innocently: "Daughter, what are you talking about? I didn't mention Qin Luo, you're the one who..."

"Mom!"

"Ahem." Su Ba cleared his throat, interrupting them. "Alright, alright. If our dear granddaughter wants to live outside, let her."

"However..." Su Ba looked kindly at Su Muwan and Qin Luo, saying, "Even though you're living elsewhere, the Su family will always be your harbor."

Su Muwan was moved by these words.

She looked at her father, mother, grandfather, and even the dog before her.

Her heart was touched. In her previous life, she never had the chance to stand quietly and listen to them speak like this.

In her past life... her arrogance and recklessness had led to her family's downfall.

But in this life, she had been reborn.

And also...

Su Muwan glanced briefly at the smiling Qin Luo beside her.

A feeling of [rebirth is wonderful] welled up inside her.

If only... this Qin Luo wouldn't cause her so much trouble!

Thinking of this, Su Muwan cleared her throat, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as she looked at her father, mother, and the others, saying, "Alright."

As for Su Bailian and Uncle Xu.

Heh, I hope you don't come stirring up trouble later!

As Su Muwan's convoy departed, Uncle Xu's expression became very unpleasant.

Su Muwan...

And that follower of hers...

It seems...

He would need to recruit an equally powerful follower for his own daughter!

Su Bailian watched the departing convoy formation.

She suddenly felt a bit empty inside.

Su Muwan had left just like that, ah, it would be boring again.

But... I should ask my dad to recruit a capable follower for me too.

Hmph, Su Muwan, you just wait.

When the time comes, I'll have my follower compete with yours, and we'll see who's truly more formidable!

.....

.....

That night.

Su Muwan's villa.

Having finished a day's work, Qin Luo sat in his bedroom reviewing his gains.

He opened his status panel, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Good, this trip to the Su family banquet had earned him one [Pressure] and one [Rumors].

This young miss was indeed a treasure trove. Following such a final big villain not only triggered many side quests, but even many protagonist quests.

The rewards obtained were incredibly rich, simply delightful~

Su Muwan, before you trigger the BAD END plot, I'm sticking with you!

At this moment.

Knock knock~

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

Followed immediately by Su Muwan's slightly trembling voice, tinged with discomfort: "Qin Luo, are you asleep?"

Qin Luo blinked upon hearing this.

What's going on?

Why is this big villain coming to find him in the middle of the night?

Is she here to do some kind of brainwashing?

Thinking this, Qin Luo got out of bed and walked towards the door.

Click~

As the door opened.

A rush of cold suddenly surged into Qin Luo's arms.

"Young Miss?"

Qin Luo was stunned to see Su Muwan lying in his arms.

Su Muwan was wearing shark pajamas, but her cheeks were flushed red, and her body was even emitting a faint mist of icy vapor.

This is....

Cold qi invasion?!

Qin Luo's eyes focused.

Su Muwan's breathing became increasingly difficult, and her vision blurred.

Due to overexerting herself at the family banquet, her cold qi had erupted tonight.

Pain was invading her body and consciousness.

The only thing supporting her was the thought of Qin Luo's medical skills in her mind!

She nestled in Qin Luo's burning hot embrace, regaining some consciousness, then, her voice trembling, she clutched tightly at Qin Luo's clothes: "Qin Luo... use acupuncture... on me..."

As soon as she finished speaking.

[Detected villain subject in mortal danger!]

[Please save the villain subject, Master!]

[Reward: 5 Attribute Points]

Even without the system prompt, Qin Luo certainly couldn't let Su Muwan die now.

Thinking this, he hesitated no longer, using his strength to lift Su Muwan in a princess carry, then using one foot to close the door.

Click~

The door closed.

Zhu Lan, standing guard outside in the courtyard, suddenly became alert and checked her surroundings.

Seeing nothing amiss, she diligently resumed her night watch.

Her expression showed admiration for Su Muwan.

Young Miss, don't worry, Zhu Lan will guard this place well to prevent bad people from entering.

Hmph, as for that Qin Luo, he actually said even dogs don't do night shifts, so why should he.

If the Young Miss discovers this kind of guy neglecting his duties, he'll surely pay for it!

Inside Qin Luo's room.

He laid Su Muwan flat on the bed.

Her face was flushed, eyes now closed, breathing rapid, chest rising and falling.

Su Muwan's expression revealed that she was in great discomfort.

Qin Luo didn't hesitate, quickly peeling off the shark skin pajamas.

There was no time to imprint the scene before him in his mind.

Qin Luo immediately unleashed the Taixuan Thirteen Needles.

Swish swish swish!!

"Mmm....."

With a faint whimper, Su Muwan's brows furrowed slightly, she tightly gripped the bedsheets, her teeth lightly biting her lip.

Waves of cold qi were instantly expelled from her body through the silver needles.

Having done all this, Qin Luo felt temporarily relieved.

No, it would be impolite to look any longer.

Swoosh!

He quickly covered Su Muwan with a blanket, then...

Swiftly retreated from the room.

She'll probably wake up around midnight, I should prepare some late-night snacks for her.

Tsk tsk, Su Muwan, oh Su Muwan, with a follower like me, you should count yourself lucky!

Midnight.

In Qin Luo's room.

Su Muwan's complexion gradually improved.

She opened her eyes in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, her heart relaxed.

It seems it was successful.

Cold qi invasion had always been a common problem with the Su Family Technique, and it was especially prominent in her case.

So this time, after destroying Elder Mo's cultivation with one palm strike, it directly caused the cold qi in her body to erupt.

That's why she had no choice but to run to Qin Luo for his help.

But... where was Qin Luo?

At this moment.

"Young Miss, you're awake."

A light chuckle came from nearby.

Su Muwan turned her head to look.

She saw.

Qin Luo sitting nearby, peeling an apple.

Hmm... it's like a scene from those novels I've read.

Su Muwan was about to sit up, but suddenly noticed her neatly folded shark pajamas placed beside her pillow.

In an instant, her pupils constricted.

Her cheeks flushed red.

My... my clothes...

Does that mean I was...

Su Muwan gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, her eyes shocked, her heart filled with shame as she buried her face in the blanket.

Only half her head remained visible.

She glared at Qin Luo in embarrassment.

The latter, however, looked completely innocent as he held up the peeled apple, saying loyally, "Young Miss, I did this for your own good. The shark outfit was too thick, the needles couldn't penetrate it."

Hearing these words.

Su Muwan's lips, hidden under the blanket, couldn't help but purse slightly.

A strange, peculiar feeling kept welling up from deep in her heart.

She glared at Qin Luo.

After this stalemate lasted for a while.

She said in a small, trembling voice: "Pervert."

Su Muwan's voice was coy with a slight tremor, like a shy flower bud about to bloom, imprinting itself in Qin Luo's mind.

Qin Luo's pupils constricted: ?

Thump! Thump!

Hiss!

Wait a minute! Why is his heart beating so fast?

Qin Luo was stunned, his breathing quickened.

He hurriedly stood up, turned his back, and walked stiffly towards the door: "The Young Miss loves to joke. Quickly put on your clothes and get up to eat some late-night snacks. I bought you some barbecue and milk tea."

Seeing Qin Luo's stiff demeanor, Su Muwan blinked.

The corners of her mouth, hidden under the blanket, couldn't help but curl up into a little devilish smile.

Oh my?... Qin Luo's reaction...

How interesting..

Is this still the same Qin Luo who slapped people's mouths?

Thinking this.

She couldn't help but speak up, wanting to tease him a bit more, saying, "Qin Luo, come help this Young Miss..."

Click!

The door closed, Qin Luo had left.

Witnessing this scene, Su Muwan's eyebrows raised slightly, and she pulled back the covers with a giggle.

Qin Luo... you timid thing, you're quite amusing...

Outside the door.

Qin Luo's breathing quickened slightly. He covered his face, his fingers revealing his incredulous expression.

How strange, could this big villain's charm really be affecting his heart to beat so fast?

Thump thump thump!

He pounded his chest vigorously.

"Cough cough cough!"

Qin Luo coughed dryly a few times, but it still wouldn't stop.

Qin Luo's eyes widened in shock.

Could it be... he had actually fallen for Su Muwan?!

......

.....

Half an hour later.

At 2:22 AM.

Qin Luo, Zhu Lan, and Su Muwan gathered in the living room.

Su Muwan had changed into casual clothes and held a skewer in her hand. She seemed to have put the earlier events out of her mind: "Munch munch, mm, delicious."

"Qin Luo, you're quite thoughtful! You knew this young lady was hungry!"

As she spoke, she deliberately leaned close to Qin Luo's ear, her red lips parting slightly as she said with a seductive laugh: "You pervert~"

The innocent Qin Luo: ?

He shook his head solemnly: "Miss Su, it was necessary for the treatment, your shark skin was too thick."

As he spoke, Qin Luo looked at Su Muwan with a pure and innocent expression, his eyes clear: "Miss, look into my eyes, they're as clear as a puppy's."

Hiss, this big villain's charm is too strong, I can't let it affect me, or I'll surely be bewitched by her!

Su Muwan choked upon hearing this.

She then glared at Qin Luo and grumbled: "Dog eyes."

"Hey Miss, it hurts when you say that."

"Hmph!"

Su Muwan's lips curved into a slight smile. She found that since her rebirth, she had been smiling more often.

Qin Luo seized the opportunity and quickly brought over a cup of milk tea. He inserted a straw and smiled innocently: "Miss, have some milk tea."

Su Muwan took it: "Hmph!"

Qin Luo blinked and smiled slightly.

Su Muwan, are you a pig, grunting like that?

Suddenly.

Su Muwan sensed something and glared at Qin Luo: "Were you just insulting me in your mind?"

Hiss!

Qin Luo broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this. He hurriedly stood up with a smile and reached out to massage Su Muwan's shoulders: "I'm most loyal to you, Miss. How could I?"

"You! Don't touch me!"

"I told you..."

"Hmm... your technique has improved, Qin Luo."

As Qin Luo massaged, he leaned close to Su Muwan's ear and whispered with a smile: "It's all for you, Miss."

The hot breath tickled Su Muwan's earlobe.

Thump! Thump!

Her heart raced.

A slight blush crept across her face.

Hiss... my heart is beating so fast.

Does this mean... I'm attracted to Qin Luo?

Just a mere Qin Luo.

How could he possibly bewitch me, a reborn person who has read countless novels?

Anyway... I'll just assume it's because I haven't fully recovered from the cold, that's why my heart is racing.

Thinking this, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation slightly, letting out a soft hum: "You'd better be."

Zhu Lan watched from the side with a dumbfounded expression, the skewer in her hand falling to the ground.

Huh?

What's going on?

What happened between Miss and Qin Luo while I was keeping watch outside??

What shark skin? What treatment?

Huh?
