But she had no choice. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and placed her hand on his.
She was reluctant to touch him, only placing two fingers on his palm, but that was enough.
Ningguang felt a blur before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in a strange space.
It was night here too, with stars raining down in the sky, a bright moon overhead, lush green grass on the ground, and overlapping mountains casting shadows – the scenery was truly beautiful.
"Welcome to my Dust Song Pot!" Lu Lin bowed gracefully.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you want."
Chapter Twenty-Six: Ningguang's Arrival, Lu Lin's Scheme
"Don't rush, let me show you around first." Lu Lin grabbed her hand tightly and pulled her to start the tour without saying another word.
Ningguang tried to break free, but Lu Lin was very firm this time. She tried to break free but failed, so she let him be.
At worst, I'll just wash my hands a few more times when I get home tonight.
"This house belongs to Gan Yu; it stands by the lake with a great view. That haunted house belongs to Hu Tao; it has all sorts of spooky elements inside, it's really fun..."
Lu Lin actually obediently led Ning Guang on a tour.
After the system upgrade, Lu Lin's activity range expanded tenfold, completely covering not only the pine forest behind the haunted house but also the valley behind it.
On this side of the lake, there's also a small area of water where you can enjoy activities. You can go boating and swimming, and raising some fish and shrimp would also be a good option.
The two went for a walk around the lake, and then Lu Lin took her to the valley.
The valley was beautiful, even at night it had a unique scenery. Ningguang, who was also a worldly person, truly felt reluctant to leave after visiting the valley.
"How is it? Isn't the scenery here nice?"
"It's alright." Ningguang nodded reservedly and said, "Now that you've toured the place, can you state your conditions?"
"As you just saw, Gan Yu and Hu Tao both have places to stay here. Would you like to find a place to stay here as well?"
"Look how beautiful the scenery in this valley is! If we could build a Jade Pavilion above it, the view would be absolutely stunning! 'Standing atop the summit, one can survey all the mountains below!'"
A glint flashed in Ningguang's eyes; the poem, "When you reach the summit, you will see all the mountains below," resonated with her.
She has always been an idealist and ambitious person. Born into poverty, she has risen step by step to her current high position and possesses hundreds of millions of wealth. Of course, she can be described as having a commanding view of all the mountains.
The creation of the Jade Pavilion, which hangs high above Liyue, also reflects her mindset; it is a symbol of her authority and charisma.
This bastard is a scumbag, but his abilities and knowledge are truly extraordinary. What a waste!
Ningguang sighed softly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, before she decisively refused: "I don't want to!"
“I knew you would refuse.” Lu Lin was not surprised by her answer at all. “Then my condition is that I want you to move into this Chenge Pot. I will build a house on the mountaintop and give you the right to come and go freely.”
Ningguang: ???
What do you mean? I've been worried for ages, and this is the first thing you ask? What kind of request is this?
Ningguang looked at him suspiciously: "It's that simple?"
"Right? It's really simple. I can guarantee that you can come in and play anytime, and if you don't want to come in, no one can force you."
"What exactly are you planning?" Ningguang didn't believe that this lecherous man had such a good opportunity, yet only made such a simple request. There must be a conspiracy!
"Hehe, Miss Ningguang has misunderstood me too much. I am kind-hearted by nature and not the kind of person without taste. My relationship with Gan Yu and Hu Tao was a natural progression when our feelings were strong. We are truly in love."
Ningguang rolled her eyes and scoffed at his words.
Would a naturally kind person use such methods to leave hickeys on her breasts and even take pictures of it? Would someone do that kind of thing to a girl while eating?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Lu Lin said again, "I know you can't understand why I could have made a much more outrageous request, but in the end I only made such a simple request. You're worried that there's a conspiracy involved."
It's actually quite simple. Ningguang rose from nothing to become one of the seven stars of Liyue. How could she be so easily threatened?
You're willing to talk to me because I have the strength to protect myself and the right to negotiate.
But if I make any demands that you cannot accept, I believe you are not lacking in the determination to fight to the death with me.
That's not what I want to see. What I want is your heart, not to coerce you into submission to me. Besides, Miss Ningguang will not submit to anyone, not even immortals or gods, right?
You don't need to worry about any dangers when you enter the Dust Song Pot. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gan Yu and Hu Tao.
There will be no restrictions on your freedom here; it's just a place you can come and rest whenever you want, and you can also come in to take refuge in case of danger. It won't do you any harm.
These words flattered Ningguang, and the tone was quite sincere. After hearing them, the hesitation on Ningguang's face dissipated considerably.
She scoffed and said coldly, "A scumbag like you shouldn't even dream of winning my heart!"
"That's a matter for the future. There's plenty of time. We can wait and see," Lu Lin said with a nonchalant smile.
Ningguang didn't want to waste any more words with him and said, "I've agreed to move in. What do I need to do?"
"I'll handle it!" Lu Lin had already received the notification that the system had successfully registered her, and skillfully assigned her the mark, granting her free access.
Of course, in addition to the mark, she was also given the term "telepathy".
This is his true purpose.
As he said, it was unrealistic to coerce her into submission with the pictures; it would likely force her to fight him to the death.
Moreover, the task of conquering Ningguang requires reaching 100% completion of the conquest, meaning she must be completely captivated, both physically and mentally; simply possessing her body is not enough.
So his plan was to use telepathy to lure Ningguang down step by step, in his words, "there's plenty of time!"
The entry can only be assigned to the registered members, which is why he proposed this deal.
Feeling the mark disappear into her palm, Ningguang found nothing amiss and finally relaxed. She then said coldly, "I've fulfilled your request. Now give me the item!"
“Of course, I have always regarded the spirit of contract in Liyue as the highest principle. The negatives and pictures are in my arms. Miss Ningguang can take them as she pleases.” Lu Lin opened his arms.
"You're so boring!"
"You can't expect me to get nothing out of it, can you?"
Ningguang bit her lip, lifted his shirt, and reached inside to touch an envelope. Just as she was about to take it out, Lu Lin suddenly pulled her into his arms.
This was a premeditated move, and Ningguang had guessed that he was going to do it. She tried to dodge, but she was still a step too slow.
"Let me go!" She struggled fiercely, but Lu Lin was surprisingly strong and she couldn't break free at all.
"I'm practically giving you the paintings and negatives for free. You should let me get something out of it; that's in line with your principle of fair trade."
Lu Lin whispered in her ear, and seeing that her struggles lessened, he seized the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her thin lips.
A strong masculine scent enveloped Ningguang. This was the first time she had been so intimately connected with a man, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. She even forgot to resist.
Lu Lin's kissing skills were superb, his rhythm perfectly controlled, and she actually became somewhat captivated by it, until Lu Lin's hands began to move upwards...
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Return of the Remnant Soul and a New Mission
Ningguang was indeed somewhat engrossed, her breathing became heavier and her eyes became more unfocused, so she didn't notice the unusual movement of Lu Lin's hand at first.
Until she was brought under control.
It's not quite right to say you have control over it, because you can't hold it in one hand at all!
Even through the clothes, the soft and elastic feel brought him the ultimate enjoyment, even though he had already seen the entire snow mountain that morning and had carefully handled it.
But one time is never enough; you have to seize every opportunity to play with it as much as possible.
But to his surprise, Ningguang's eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, cleared up after his sudden attack. She seized the opportunity and bit down hard on the tongue that was conquering her mouth.
"Ouch!" Lu Lin released his mouth in pain, and Ning Guang took the opportunity to break free from his embrace.
"You don't have to be so rough!" This time, Lu Lin was really hurt by the bite, and his words became somewhat unclear.
"Shameless scoundrel, you deserve it!" Ningguang was both ashamed and angry. The thought of how she had been so captivated by Lu Lin's kiss made her want to slap him twice more.
She quickly stepped back, creating distance between herself and Lu Lin, and opened the envelope in her hand.
"Don't worry, I keep my word. All the pictures and negatives are in here."
It is indeed her paintings and negatives.
The image of herself in the picture is stunningly beautiful, with a cold and disgusted look in her eyes, which is perfectly normal.
But when paired with towering snow-capped mountains, red plum blossoms against the snow, and strawberries as embellishments, it creates an indescribable unique charm, forming a stark contrast with her cold and disgusted expression!
Extremely tempting!
Admittedly, from a technical standpoint of shooting techniques and composition, these images are already perfect, and even Ningguang's discerning eye cannot find any fault with them.
The more she looked, the angrier and angrier she became. After confirming that everything was complete, she glared at Lu Lin and activated the mark according to his instructions, then left the Dust Song Pot.
I will never come to this place again!
Watching the stunningly beautiful and wealthy woman storm off in a huff, Lu Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Miss Ningguang, the story won't end so simply. We have a long way to go!"
With Ningguang joining, her panel has also appeared in the system.
[New Member: Ningguang]
【Age: 28】
[Greatness Level: E]
Elemental attribute: Geo
[Exclusive Weapon: Jade Pavilion]
[Entry related to: Telepathy]
[Strategy Progress: 20%]
Hmm~ As expected, the Great level is a level higher than Gan Yu. After all, he personally assessed it, so the estimate was quite accurate.
Is the exclusive weapon actually certified by the Jade Pavilion? Thinking about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
The strategy is only 20% complete; there's still a long way to go.
After looking at Ningguang's panel, he turned his attention to the exchange shop. He wanted to build a Jade Pavilion in the sky, and that was no joke.
I just don't know if they have them readily available in the exchange shop, or if they sell levitation stones.
After searching for a while, he actually found a ready-made Qunyu Pavilion, but it was very expensive.
It takes 3,000 points to redeem!
However, three thousand points is not an unacceptable price for such a luxurious palace that can float in the air. Lu Lin checked his balance: 2550, not too much short.
It was still early, not yet late at night, and Lu Lin was not sleepy, so he took out another jade box.
This was given to him by Zhongli at noon; it contained the green orb of light from the Guizhong Palace.
The sphere of light contained a compilation of Gui Zhongyi's mechanical arts, and he decided to take this opportunity to study it.
With multiple skills, there are multiple paths. Now that he possesses the [Spiritual Mind and Wisdom] attribute, his comprehension has been greatly enhanced, making it easy for him to learn mechanical arts.
He picked up the orb of light and recited the incantation Zhongli had taught him. The orb of light flickered, and Lu Lin felt a flood of information enter his mind, making him dizzy and disoriented.
This process lasted for about five minutes before Lu Lin felt a little better.
He concentrated and pondered, his mind already filled with a great deal of knowledge about mechanical arts. However, he was only absorbing this knowledge in a superficial way at the moment. To truly integrate and apply it, he would need to spend time learning and comprehending.
Just when he thought it was all over, something unexpected happened!
After the light sphere finished imparting knowledge, it had been gradually dimming, but suddenly the entire Dust Song Pot world lit up for a moment.
It is night now, and although the full moon hangs high, it only has a hazy glow.
That sudden flash was like a bolt of lightning illuminating the summer night sky, shining on everything but vanishing in an instant.
The light didn't disappear; rather, it all surged into the sphere of light in an instant.
The light sphere, which had been dim and lifeless, suddenly flashed a green light after receiving the light, and shot directly into Lu Lin's brow.
Lu Lin had no time to dodge and quickly checked his own condition, only to find that there was a green light in his mind.
what happened?
His doubts were immediately answered.
