I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

"A lecherous thief?"

When Mu Yunxi saw Cheng Ran, her delicate eyebrows unconsciously relaxed slightly.

Perhaps because she had waited for so long, she felt a sense of anticipation and satisfaction.

But soon.

She forced a frown.

That's not right...

Why should I be happy?!

He was the one who was late!

Mu Yunxi felt like her brain had really gone mad, and turned her head to say:

"Why are you so slow? I already messaged you. What are you doing?"

"I wasn't slow."

Cheng Ran leaped into the building.

Of course, he couldn't admit that he had just gone to see Lu Shixue.

He just made it up out of thin air:

"I had just broken through to the Core Formation stage and emerged from seclusion when I saw my senior sister's message."

"After that, I didn't waste a moment and came to find my senior sister without stopping."

"Senior sister, where else can you find a master who cares about you as much as I do?"

Ha ha……

Mu Yunxi wanted to laugh.

She sniffed lightly and immediately caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance.

Based on what her inner demon had said, she retorted without much thought:

"Don't lie to me! You smell like a woman; you definitely didn't just come out of seclusion to find me!"

"You clearly went to see other women first before coming to me!"

Cheng Ran sniffed as well upon hearing this.

Indeed, Lu Shixue's fragrance lingered on his sleeves.

What the hell!

Detective!

He never imagined that Mu Yunxi could discover such a small clue.

Of course, there was no need to panic in this situation; Cheng Ran simply made up a story:

"This is the fragrance of my residence. Senior Sister, you're not jealous, are you?"

"nonsense!"

Mu Yunxi gave Cheng Ran a cold glare.

She was just mentioning it casually; she didn't mean anything by it.

Not at all!

"Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I'd rather kill you, you lecherous scoundrel, than be jealous of you!"

"I was overthinking it."

Cheng Ran smiled in return, looking at Mu Yunxi, whose face was flushed with anger.

Sometimes, that little bitch senior sister is actually quite cute...

"cut."

Mu Yunxi snorted coldly, no longer dwelling on Cheng Ran's lateness:

"He's formed his core?"

"Um."

Cheng Ran nodded slightly:

"The retreat went very smoothly, and I even gained something extra."

I don't believe it.

Mu Yunxi subconsciously questioned it.

With Cheng Ran's talent, it would be a miracle if he could break through to the Core Formation stage.

What extra benefits could there be? Could it be that the Golden Core comes with extraordinary phenomena?

It can be done immediately.

She suddenly sensed that Cheng Ran's spiritual power was extremely abundant at that moment.

Especially after taking a closer look.

Surprisingly, it was discovered that Cheng Ran's golden core was as solid as a rock, and its spiritual power far exceeded that of the first level of the Core Formation stage!

The sheer scale of that spiritual power was comparable to that of the snake demon.

"Fifth level of Core Formation?!"

After observing for a while, Mu Yunxi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Hmm, you found out."

Cheng Ran nodded; he didn't intend to hide the fact that his cultivation level had improved.

"How is that possible!"

Mu Yunxi's peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief at Cheng Ran's rapid advancement in cultivation.

After breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Core Formation Realm, some cultivators are indeed able to skip the first level of Core Formation and go directly to the second level.

However, as far as she knows...

No one has ever been able to skip the first level of Core Formation and go straight to the fourth level.

Even for a woman as proud as she is.

That's not true either!

"What exactly happened? Have you been practicing evil arts?"

Mu Yunxi's expression instantly turned serious. In her understanding, only evil cultivators could achieve such a rapid breakthrough.

Cheng Ran shrugged.

He was indeed a heretical cultivator, but even more heretical than other heretical cultivators:

"That's certainly not the case. I, Cheng, have always been upright and honest."

"I was able to break through to the fourth level of Core Formation only because I dreamed of Senior Sister Mu during the breakthrough and received some guidance from her."

After saying that, he cast a playful glance at Mu Yunxi's stunningly beautiful face.

"I'm not kidding!"

Mu Yunxi, however, looked angry and did not avoid Cheng Ran's gaze:

"Last time I asked you, you made up a joke; this time, you still refuse to answer me!"

Mu Yunxi really wanted to know!

What could possibly enable the seemingly ordinary Cheng Ran to experience such a rapid increase in strength in such a short period of time?

This is clearly unreasonable!

Cheng Ran, however, remained grinning; he had no intention of satisfying Mu Yunxi's curiosity.

"Senior Sister Mu, don't be angry. You don't need to worry about such details. You'll know when the time is right."

"not to mention......"

"Instead of worrying about me, Senior Sister Mu should worry more about yourself."

"I......"

Mu Yunxi hesitated, her body still being ravaged by the aphrodisiac.

That piercing pain surged up my neck once again.

"Alright, stop worrying about it."

"Take it."

Cheng Ran took out the Dragon Scale Powder and tossed it directly to Mu Yunxi.

He didn't want to listen to Mu Yunxi's incessant questioning about the secret to her cheat code anymore:

"Let's detoxify first, and then I'll obediently carry out the mission. I'm going to play a fun game with my senior sister later."

"oh."

Mu Yunxi responded coldly.

He reached out and caught the medicine bottle that Cheng Ran threw to him.

However, Cheng Ran's behavior today surprised her somewhat:

"Don't I need to call him 'master' first?"

"You can shout if you want."

Cheng Ran shook his head, looking at Mu Yunxi with a mocking expression.

"No way!"

Mu Yunxi blushed instantly, turned her head away, and refused sharply.

She opened the bottle and drank the red liquid in one gulp, as if drinking a bottle of somber wine. Then, due to the side effects, her peach blossom eyes closed tightly, and she fainted in Cheng Ran's arms.

......

......

Half an hour later.

Mu Yunxi slowly opened her peach blossom eyes.

Although the effects of the aphrodisiac had worn off, she was still somewhat weak.

She quietly got up from the couch, walked past Cheng Ran who was reading a book, and came to the dressing table, where she hastily combed her hair.

After coiling her hair into a high ponytail with a gold hairpin, she looked at Cheng Ran:

"Speak, what do you want me to do?"

Mu Yunxi knew, of course, that Cheng Ran, that lecherous scoundrel, had no good intentions.

After I detoxify myself today, I'm sure I'll have some absurd ideas coming up again!

So, what she was thinking was to quickly satisfy this lecherous thief's demands and then drive him away!

"Hehehe..."

Cheng Ran gave a wicked smile and took out a package from his storage ring:

"Senior Sister Mu, this is a gift for you. Open it and take a look."

Mu Yunxi took it.

She took out the items without commenting.

But in the next instant.

Her peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed!

Just because!

Both items that were retrieved were extremely abnormal!

One of them was a black collar with spikes and chains.

The other was a pair of white lace stockings with some cutouts.

"You lecherous scoundrel!"

Mu Yunxi, whose inner demons have recently affected her, has improved her chanting skills and naturally knows that these two pieces of clothing are not for respectable people:

"You want me to wear this?"

Cheng Ran shook his head.

If it's just that simple, then you're underestimating his sorrow.

He slowly walked to Mu Yunxi's side and said deliberately:

"That's not the case, Senior Sister Mu. Each of these two outfits corresponds to a special mini-game. Whichever one you choose, I'll play that game with you."

"As for the game's content..."

Cheng Ran leaned close to Mu Yunxi's ear and whispered a few words.

Immediately, her exquisitely beautiful face flushed with a mixture of shame and indignation:

"abnormal!"

Mu Yunxi cursed fiercely.
