Then, Liu Mengli gave Steward Xu a look, signaling him to leave.
"Fairy Xun'er, I'll take my leave now. Please let me know if you need anything!"
Steward Xu cupped his hands in greeting to the two stunningly beautiful women, then cast a meaningful glance at Kongming before turning and leaving.
Kongming stood there, stunned, unsure how to respond. Moving to Sima Xun'er's cave was completely unexpected.
He looked at Sima Xun'er and saw that she had a calm expression, as if making such a request was perfectly normal.
Kongming snapped out of his daze and looked at Sima Xun'er's serious expression, feeling a headache coming on. Was he really going to force a good woman into prostitution?
"Fairy Xun'er, this... I'm afraid it's a bit inconvenient." Kong Ming shook his head with a wry smile, trying to refuse this sudden suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Sima Xun'er frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that Kongming would refuse her.
She looked coldly at Kongming, her tone carrying an unquestionable air: "Why? Do you think there's something wrong with my cave dwelling?"
Kongming quickly waved his hand and explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. That was not my intention. It's just that... I have many trivial matters to attend to, and it would be inconvenient to disturb you."
"Trivial matters?" Sima Xun'er scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "Are your so-called trivial matters more important than exploring the path of music with me?"
Kongming was taken aback by Sima Xun'er's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He should have brought that dead pig along; he would have been delighted.
Just as Kongming was caught in a dilemma, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Liu Mengli gracefully approached Kongming. She stood on tiptoe, her beautiful face pressed close to Kongming's.
She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Mr. Kongming, since my cousin is so kind, why don't you just go along with her? I'm sure you'll be able to appreciate the wonders of music more deeply in this cave."
Liu Mengli's voice was full of seduction, and Kongming felt a tingling sensation in his ears, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
He turned his head to look at Liu Mengli, and saw that beneath her pure face, her eyes seemed to hold spring water, clear and sparkling, making one's heart flutter.
Kongming took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Damn, this little vixen is actually looking for 'prey' for her cousin. These young ladies are really playing games."
Kong Ming gave a wry smile, gently pushed Liu Mengli away, took a step back, and said seriously, "Miss Mengli, I do have a difficult reason to explain!"
"Oh! Sir, why don't you tell me?" Liu Mengli looked at Kongming with a half-smile, appearing all ears.
"To be honest, I... I seem to be a little lacking in strength." As Kongming said this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. Forced by the situation, he had no choice but to resort to the same old trick.
"Hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengli couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She never expected that Kongming would refuse on this basis.
To her, this reason was utterly ridiculous. She looked at Kongming, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Kongming, are you serious?"
Kongming nodded with a bitter expression: "How could I dare to deceive the two fairies? Besides, this concerns a man's dignity..."
Kongming inwardly groaned. Although the reason was absurd, he had no choice but to accept it. He could only hope to escape the clutches of the two women in front of him. Who knew what they would do next?
Sima Xun'er also stared wide-eyed at Kongming, clearly not expecting him to give such a reason.
Even her noble face couldn't help but chuckle.
"Zhuge Kongming, your reason is a bit too..." She shook her head and didn't continue, but the smile in her eyes deepened.
Then, Sima Xun'er suppressed her smile, looked at Kongming, and said seriously, "Zhuge Kongming, although I am a woman, I know that cultivators rarely have such hidden ailments. If you really have this problem, I may be able to give you some pointers."
Kongming was shocked to hear this. He hadn’t expected that Sima Xun’er, who seemed so cold and aloof, would be so bold as to not even let this go.
He quickly waved his hand and said urgently, "Thank you for your kindness, fairies. I appreciate it. However, I have consulted many renowned doctors, but there has been no improvement. I still want to recuperate on my own."
Kongming was afraid that Sima Xun'er would continue to pester him, which would put him in a truly awkward position.
Sima Xun'er stopped smiling. She looked at Kongming, her beautiful eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment later, she parted her red lips slightly, her voice regaining its previous aloofness: "My Sima family is established on the path of alchemy, how could a mere hidden ailment trouble me!"
With that, she waved her hand, and immediately more than a dozen pill bottles were displayed on the table.
Kongming felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the various elixir bottles.
So many pills, are they trying to kill us?
Liu Mengli, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She swayed her supple waist, picked up a pill bottle, and walked to Kongming's side. Her voice trembled as if she was trying hard to suppress her laughter.
"Mr. Kongming, since Sister Xun'er is so generous, why don't you refuse? Give it a try; maybe it can cure your hidden ailment."
A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes; she was clearly watching Kongming make a fool of himself.
Kongming felt a pang of despair; he knew he had truly fallen into a trap this time.
Looking at the dazzling array of pill bottles on the table, he felt a pang of helplessness. These pills all looked extremely precious, but he had absolutely no need for them!
However, given the current situation, he couldn't refuse outright. He could only bite the bullet, pick up a bottle of pills, and awkwardly smile, saying, "Then thank you very much, Fairy Xun'er. I'll give it a try."
Sima Xun'er looked at Kongming, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes. She seemed quite satisfied with Kongming's reaction.
Liu Mengli laughed even harder, clearly finding the scene increasingly interesting.
"Damn it, you two vixens, trying to ruin my reputation in my old age! You've gone too far! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
With a fierce determination, Kongming crushed the pill bottle and swallowed the two pills in one gulp.
The pill entered his throat and immediately transformed into a flame that traveled throughout his body.
Kongming felt as if his body had been ignited, and a powerful force surged through his meridians.
He endured the pain, his face remaining impassive, but the sweat on his forehead could not conceal his torment.
At this moment, his gaze toward the two women clearly changed. Liu Mengli's prominent breasts and Sima Xun'er's cold and beautiful face became symbols of provocation in his eyes.
He felt his blood boiling and a strong desire surged through his heart.
Seeing Kongming's reaction, Liu Mengli and Sima Xun'er exchanged a smile.
"Sister Xun'er, how about I try it for you first!"
Liu Mengli giggled, a sly glint in her eyes, and like a nimble little deer, she gracefully walked to Kongming's side.
Sima Xun'er sat elegantly to the side, her noble demeanor revealing a hint of anticipation...
