"Smartphone reading: 'Jin Ting Mu!' Lin Caivwei looked at the golden wine cup in her hands and exclaimed, 'This is the Jin Ting Mu—the legendary artifact of the founding master, Yu Cheng Zi of the Yu Cheng Sect. It's said to create illusions so vivid that both cultivators and ordinary people alike will become utterly lost within them!' 'A bit exaggerated, wouldn't you say? We just saw it as a fantasy ourselves,' Qin Dashi shrugged. 'That's because Han Yuxuan's cultivation level. The artifact is said to be sentient—higher-level cultivators produce more realistic and expansive illusions.' Lin Beauty continued, 'This is no ordinary item; it's a treasured artifact of the Yu Cheng Sect. It proves that Han Yuxuan belongs to the Yu Cheng Sect, and more importantly, he's one of its core disciples. Otherwise, how could he possess the Jin Ting Mu?' Qin Dashi smiled, 'Even the finest things now belong to us. By the way, there's also a flying sword!' He bent down and picked up the sword, which had lost its spirit since its owner had departed, beaming with a smile and said, "Perfect! Brother, I've never had a reliable weapon before—let's just make do with this one for now!" "Indeed, this flying sword seems quite impressive. Let's get it settled under your care—also, take this golden wine cup." Lin Beauty handed him the wine cup. Qin, the young lord, blushed deeply: "That's not right at all. I've already taken the flying sword—how could I possibly ask for the golden wine cup as well? I'll return it to you!" "I'm from the Lin family. Once I hold this golden wine cup, the Yu Cheng faction will surely not rest easy." Lin Beauty explained. "Though I'd love to create some trouble for the Lin family, I know that wouldn't work—because the Lin family simply isn't up to the challenge of the Yu Cheng faction. If things go badly, Mother will suffer too. It wouldn't be worth it. So, let it be you who becomes its new owner. You're single—how could the Yu Cheng faction possibly handle that?" Single? Brother, I'm not At that moment, Isabel descended gracefully from the sky, saying with a contented smile, "I never thought I would have the ability to absorb spiritual essence. I feel incredibly energetic now, and my limbs no longer feel as cold as they used to!" "Indeed, this shows that the spiritual essence is positively transforming your constitution." Qin Feng had completed the process of bonding his flying sword. Though he could only command it to perform a few simple actions, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. He took a moment to further study Jin Ting Mu—the magical artifact capable of creating illusions. What a wonderful item! Lin Meiren glanced around, asking, "Feng-ge, where exactly are we? I don't think I've been here before." "I'm not entirely sure either—just some remote countryside, I suppose." He drew back his flying sword and called out to the vehicle parked beside them, "Si-Si, it's time to get off. Let's step outside and freshen up!" Yet Zhou Mu Si didn't respond. The three of them immediately grew tense and rushed toward the vehicle together. Opening the car door, Zhou Xiaoniu rubbed her sleepy eyes and said to the three people staring at her, "You've finished, let's go home and sleep now—I'm so tired!" Qin Dashi nearly went crazy. Indeed, it was hard to change people's natures—this dim-witted one wasn't going to change any time soon. Xiaoniu, just accept your fate. Back home, he carried the now-asleep Xiaoniu up to her room, intending to do something unpleasant to her, but unexpectedly heard a steady sound of running water upstairs. He thought, that didn't make sense—the third-floor bathroom didn't have a hot water heater and couldn't support a shower. What was the beautiful counselor doing up there? Curious, he quickly made his way to the third floor. The door to Chen Yue's room was slightly ajar, and a set of fresh undergarments lay neatly on the bed—clearly, she was really taking a bath. How could she endure such a cold day? He had no idea that the beautiful counselor had specially visited the appliance city today, buying a compact water heater capable of serving one person for bathing, which she had already installed in the afternoon—ensuring no disruption to his evening bath. This time, he moved with quiet caution, having learned from his previous experience of being caught. He carefully peered through his translucent, matte-glass eyes, and soon a graceful figure came into view. Chen Yue hummed a soft tune, allowing water droplets to fall upon her delicate skin, forming gentle streams. She was barefoot, one leg slightly bent while the other was straight, her body slightly angled toward the door, so Qin Feng could clearly see the lush, intimate scene between her legs. Perfect. Truly perfect. He couldn’t help but chew on his lower lip, recalling a remark made by Lin: “To guard such a beautiful woman and yet not act—well, that’s one thing. But to have the time and energy to pursue other girls? That’s simply a failure.” Indeed, it was a complete failure. He swallowed a lump of saliva and murmured, "We must act swiftly—only when the rice is cooked into porridge will we have the leverage to negotiate with Master Chen!" As he imagined Master Chen's expression at that moment, he couldn't help but smile. Perhaps the old man would even carry a vegetable knife and chase him for several blocks—given his temperament, such a bold move was truly plausible. Perfect. Truly perfect. He considered rushing in and making a bold move, but then thought again: the beautiful teaching assistant was a gentle-tempered girl with a strong sense of pride, and she was deeply romantic. While a firm approach might yield the desired results, it would still fall short of being ideal. So he would just have to wait a little longer. After all, he had no plans to go to school or work tomorrow. Instead, he would take the time to cultivate a romantic atmosphere, and when she was fully moved, the outcome would naturally unfold. He restrained himself from rushing in, yet couldn't bear to leave. He thought, after all, couldn't he just stay and watch a little longer? There was one thing he didn't know—Chen Yue had replaced the glass on the door. It was no longer ordinary frosted glass, but a type called "duyangan screen." From the outside, it looked just like regular frosted glass, yet it had a special feature: while the outside could not see inside, the inside could clearly see what was outside. The purpose of changing the glass is simply to avoid being spied on again—this villa has only Qin Feng as a man, so the target of our vigilance, you know. Even the outside Qin Feng was stunned, sitting down right there, baffled. He couldn't believe it—his glasses had just made it clear to him, yet how had she managed to see him? "Qin Feng, you're so absent-minded! You've been peeking at me while I'm bathing again—do you have any idea what you're doing to me?" Chen Yue shouted hysterically, wrapping herself in a towel. The Qin youth bolted for the door, muttering continuously, "I can't see you! I can't see you! You can't see me!"
