Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

"Because it's uncomfortable to wear these clothes." Her tone remained innocent, but Lu Qing felt like she'd punched a pillow.

[Fireworks: Black Tower: The sky has fallen.]

"Why don't you try sleeping naked next time? It's very comfortable."

[Qingque: I could hear the sound of abacus beads rolling onto my face even from the Immortal Ship.]

[Seele: I heard it in Belleburg too.]

Lu Qing was almost laughing in anger.

He intended to punish the bad cat properly until Ruan Mei waved the jade tablet in her palm as if she had achieved a victory.

"Wow, you managed to fool her last night, well done!"

"So, I want a reward."

Soon, a green light appeared in Lu Qing's palm, while Ruan Mei shook her head, "You know, that's not what I meant."

Ruan Mei has begun her offensive against the final barrier.

She wanted more, until she had it all.

Lu Qing knew that she had to refuse this time.

Therefore, a conflict arose.

"Since you've managed to fool them, then let's end the contract. I'll provide everything you need to your mother." Lu Qing knew this was his last chance. He clearly felt that he was already on the verge of falling, and one more step would lead to an endless abyss.

Ruan Mei paused for a moment, then a harmless smile appeared on her face, along with a fleeting shadow in her eyes.

"But what if I disagree?"

Lu Qing recalled the three-step breakup plan she had devised; now was the perfect opportunity to use the manual.

[Black Tower: Victory is just around the corner.]

[Blade: Wrong, this is a shore we can never reach.]

[Fireworks: @Blade, speak on your main account.]

Chapter 45 Lu Qing's Utter Defeat

Lu Qing no longer aspires to replicate his talent, because he feels he is about to fall into ruin.

“First of all, I was just using you. I didn’t actually want to help you, Ruan Mei. Do you understand?” Lu Qing said bluntly.

“But you still helped me, didn’t you?” Ruan Mei was not in a hurry and confronted Lu Qing in an orderly manner.

"Secondly, you don't actually help me at all. Haven't you noticed? Apart from providing emotional value, you don't help me at all."

Ruan Mei was stunned for a moment, then bit her jaw hard until tiny specks of blood seeped out, making Lu Qing's heart pound with fear.

"I just want to stay by your side... Please don't send me away."

The cat looked extremely aggrieved, which made Lu Qing feel a pang of heartache, but at this moment, he had no choice but to say those words.

"Lastly, I really like your figure. The moment I saw you, I wanted to cook with you. If you're okay with that, then please go ahead. After we cook, I can let you stay at my house."

Lu Qing had done her research beforehand. Since Ruan Mei's mother became critically ill, many sex and prostitution businesses wanted to buy Ruan Mei outright, similar to prostitution. Therefore, she hated those who looked at her with lewd eyes.

The purpose of his last words was simple: to make her hate him, to let her know that he was no different from those who took advantage of her. Then she could start a new life.

This way, he could also extricate himself from the situation. This was the best method Lu Qing could think of without causing her much harm.

And absolutely no mistakes will be made!!!

[March 7th: Look, it's a flag!!!]

Just as Lu Qing was confidently waiting for the result, Ruan Mei breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips involuntarily turned up slightly, which made Lu Qing feel that something was wrong.

"Okay, do you want me to help you take off your clothes?"

"what do you mean……"

"I'll cook for you right now."

Lu Qing was speechless. This was clearly an impossible answer, how could it come from Ruan Mei's mouth? What a joke!

Seemingly sensing the shock in Lu Qing's eyes, Ruan Mei strode forward and leaned close to his ear.

"You know what? You can't fake what you see in your eyes. You really can't lie." Ruan Mei's tone rose slightly, seemingly with a hint of teasing.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, plopped down on the sofa as if giving up.

"Tell me, how did you figure it out? Let me die knowing why."

"If you just wanted to possess my body, you could have done so from the beginning. Compared to those people, I would rather give this body to a handsome succubus. But you didn't do that, and now you're saying this, which is contradictory. You're obviously lying."

This underestimates the intelligence of a genius. Besides a genius, there should be no one who can outsmart a genius. All unusual behavior will be meticulously analyzed to find the truth.

"Alright, your questions are over. It's my turn to ask questions." Ruan Mei smiled, but Lu Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

"So why did you send me away? You clearly like me." Her voice was trembling with barely perceptible sobs.

"Because I made a promise to someone."

"Where is that person now?"

"She doesn't understand love unless she's here."

“Even though you don’t have her anymore, you still have me. I can completely replace her and become your wife.” Cat showed her tiger teeth.

Ruan Mei seemed to have thought of something, and then her pear-shaped figure pressed forward wildly.

"Alright, now that you've finished talking, let's get ready to cook." Seemingly noticing the desire in Ruan Mei's eyes, Lu Qing cupped her face in a comforting gesture.

"Give me some time, and I'll try to accept you, okay?"

Ruan Mei really wanted to agree, but the desire in her heart was already insatiable.

"Alright, but at least for now, I'm going to reward you as punishment for your behavior today."

Lu Qing chose to lie flat, letting the woman, who was about to lose her mind, leave marks on every inch of his skin.

The house cat is marking her territory, and from now on, at least in her territory, no stray cats will appear.

"Ruan Mei, I'm really afraid I won't be able to take good care of you. After all, I can't even handle my own affairs properly." After a long while, Lu Qing finally spoke a sentence with lifeless eyes.

Ruan Mei seemed to have anticipated this. She tilted her head slightly, delivering a sweet attack with her exquisite face while uttering the words that would shock Lu Qing for a hundred years.

"But you take very good care of your flowers, don't you?"

Lu Qing's Adam's apple bobbed silently, then he watched as Ruan Mei stood up and picked up the mirror lotus.

"Yes, the mirror lotus symbolizes eternal love, but it didn't respond to you, did it? But I am right here. If you wish, I will respond to you and fall madly in love with you. Because of you, I have also tried to like flowers."

Ruan Mei paused, seemingly feeling that she hadn't said enough.

"Because, even though I've never seen a flower before, you've shown me what it's like to bloom."

"So you're not going to take responsibility?"

Each word, spoken with deliberate pause, is captivating.

This time, Lu Qing did not avoid her gaze. The two stared at each other for a long time before looking away at each other simultaneously.

[Ruan Mei: @Heita, he owes you 168 billion, right? I'll transfer it to your account in a bit; I want to buy him out.]

[Black Tower: You're dreaming!!!]

At this moment, Black Tower felt as if she was about to lose something important, so she did not intend to sit idly by and wait for her doom.

[March 7th: Ruan Qingjiujiu, you look so cool, family members!]

[Fireworks: Black Tower: An unexpected encounter with Ruan Mei; despite her best efforts, she cannot defeat her.]

[Alan: @Estella, Miss, maybe we should give up. We can't win against them.]

[Aista: Next time, I'll fill in something very simple again.]

[Bai Lu: Oh no, this is insanity! Quick, call a doctor!!!]

Lu Qing felt that he seemed to have lost, yet he also seemed to have won. It was so strange to lose and win at the same time.

When a conflicted person is gradually cornered by a straightforward person, it might not be such a bad thing.

Perhaps, it can awaken people's courage.

If I can take good care of flowers, then perhaps taking care of a cat wouldn't be so bad either...

Who can say for sure?

However, there is one more very important thing.

"Ah Ruan, next time, remember to put your hair up in a bun, it's so prickly."

"Qing, I've remembered."

Ruan Maomao's chasm of desire was gradually smoothed out.

The last barrier between them, like a crystal-clear cicada's wing, could be broken at the slightest touch.

Finally, as if it had overdosed on catnip, the cat slumped onto the sofa with lifeless eyes.

"Ah Ruan, you must be exhausted. I'll go cook. What would you like to eat?"

"I want to eat plum blossom cake."

"Aha: As the saying goes, the fleeting pleasures of life are what truly soothe the human heart!"

[Star: Ah, you're surprisingly cultured.]

[Fireworks: He's never been to school, so he's unlikely to be cultured because he's always on the lookout for fun.]

[Star: Is this a backstab? No, it should be called a face-stab!]

[Aha: Aha, I'm so embarrassed~~]

Chapter 46 Water Use Agreement

Lu Qing could easily satisfy Ruan Mei's request to eat plum blossom cake, but this was clearly a bad eating habit.

Lu Qing had no intention of indulging bad habits, so she actually cooked a proper meal.

[Black Tower: The memories of the dead have begun to attack me.]

[Astara: Waaaaaah~~ You're not allowed to eat this!!!]

Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, river shrimp, stir-fried chicken with vinegar, and sweet and sour pork ribs filled the entire table.

Ruan Mei unconsciously swallowed, after all, she hadn't been getting any proper nutrition during these difficult days.

[Fu Xuan: Wait, why is she still so big?]

[Qingque: Exactly! Doesn't she know that the Grand Diviner is flat-chested? This will hurt her pride.]

[Fu Xuan: @Qingque, you're finished! I'll show you who the true sun of the Luofu Immortal Ship is!]

[Qingque: Help!]

At that moment, Lu Qing also subconsciously glanced at the slender waist with its branches laden with fruit.

Hmm, it's very moist, and it looks quite bouncy.

Ruan Mei doesn't have a big appetite; she didn't finish much of the wide variety of dishes, and there was even a lot of food left in her bowl.

"I...I can't eat anymore."

"Yes, sudden overeating is not advisable; it will cause weight gain."

"Are you saying I'm fat? I'll try to control myself."

"No, it's just right, don't overthink it."

Seeing that Lu Qing was about to clear the dishes, Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment before speaking softly:

"But wasting food is a bad thing, Aqing."

"The second meal wasn't as good, since the flavors would mix if they were all in the same bowl," Lu Qing said, somewhat puzzled.

"So right now, the flavors haven't mixed yet, have they?"

"But weren't you full?"
