The bright moon hangs high, beckoning him down from his pedestal.

However, the thought of that man caused Shen Qingruo's confidence, which had been fueled by Granny Yan's support, to dissipate somewhat.

Frustrated, she put down the dance score and, on a whim, opened the system shop again.

She has mastered [Autumn Water Bright Eyes], and the effect is remarkable. She also has many other skills such as [Affectionate Fragrance] and [Soft as Boneless].

Shen Qingruo's gaze eventually settled on some more subtle options, but being inexperienced in such matters, she didn't understand their meanings.

She was somewhat uncertain. That was Shen Wangxi, no ordinary man. She knew better than anyone how determined he was.

Can dance and looks alone really sway him? What if it backfires...?

"Aruo." Xiao Jiu keenly sensed her unease, her childish voice softening slightly, "Are you worried about the Thousand Autumn Banquet?"

Shen Qingruo did not deny it, and gently hummed in agreement.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Jiu's ball of light approached, her tone encouraging. "According to our plan, if the Thousand Autumn Banquet is the time for you to make your move, then to ensure everything goes smoothly, and even to add the finishing touches, you still need two things."

"Which two?" Shen Qingruo raised her eyes and looked at the ball of light.

"The first thing is the catalyst." Xiao Jiu lowered her voice a little. "Relying solely on dance and body sedation might not be direct enough. We need a catalyst. There's something in the shop called [Love Thread Catalyst]."

Shen Qingruo's heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Jiu continued to explain, "Don't worry, this isn't some cheap, low-grade love potion; it won't make him lose his mind."

"Its function is that as long as he has even the slightest desire for you, even if he is not aware of it himself, it will amplify that spark infinitely and turn it into a raging fire."

Xiao Jiu emphasized, "He was sober, soberly watching how he was attracted to you, how he couldn't control himself, and how he gradually sank into depravity. This kind of conscious loss of control is the most tormenting and the most unforgettable."

Shen Qingruo listened, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She hardly hesitated, "Okay, we'll use this."

"Hmm!" Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, then she added, "The second thing is icing on the cake."

"Aruo, think about it. Besides the physical intimacy between men and women, what else can excite a man and make him remember it fondly afterward?"

Shen Qingruo thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Fragrance?"

"You're half right!" Xiao Jiu affirmed. "You already have the fragrance, which will become even more intense and alluring when you're aroused. The only thing missing is your voice."

"sound?"

Xiao Jiu's voice was filled with excitement, "Yes! A great voice, a captivating voice, is a powerful weapon in those situations!"

"Your natural voice is already the best, soft and charming, but you haven't consciously used it, just like you didn't know how to convey emotions with your eyes at first."

"The same voice can evoke vastly different charms in an ordinary person and a songstress."

It brings up an option in the store: [Sounds of Nightingales and Swallows].

"After the exchange, whether it's her usual soft and sweet voice or her whimpering during passionate moments, it will become even more tingling and penetrating, scratching the most itchy spot in a man's heart, making him even more excited, and then..."

Xiao Jiu didn't say anything more, but her meaning was already quite clear.

Shen Qingruo looked at the skill description of [Singing Song of a Nightingale], her cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes became more and more determined.

She understood what Xiao Jiu meant: a comprehensive impact—visual, olfactory, auditory, and tactile—was what would make him unable to resist.

"Let's exchange it," she said softly, with a do-or-die determination.

A stream of light merged into her body, and various techniques on how to use one's voice flooded her mind.

She coughed softly and tried to call out in a gentle voice, "Xiao Jiu..."

When the voice came out, it was indeed different from before. It was still that soft and gentle voice, but it suddenly had a sweet and lingering tone, making people's ears go weak.

"Yes! That's it!" Xiao Jiu cheered. "Aruo, you learn everything so fast!"

Shen Qingruo touched her throat, feeling much more at ease. With these two things by her side, her chances of success had increased even more.

For the remaining two weeks, she not only had to practice dancing, but also had to master the new voice she had acquired.
