He stopped abruptly, his gaze coolly falling upon her. The purplish-black scales under the corners of his eyes shimmered like rhinestone eyeshadow, lending him an added layer of Charm.

Jiang Yunnuan swallowed, her gaze drifting down, uncontrollably drawn to the space between his legs...

’Wow, what an impressive outline... and so prominent!!!’

’It’s just a shame his clothes are in the way. I can’t see if there are two of them, so I can’t confirm if the rumors are true.’

Jiang Yunnuan sighed internally, for the first time regretting that she hadn’t awakened an X-ray ability.

Being stared at like that, Ming Ye tensed up, feeling an inexplicable discomfort, as if he’d been stripped naked.

He pressed his thin lips together, his expression dark as he reached up and turned off the light.

CLICK...

The room was instantly plunged into darkness. His cold, handsome face and strong, perfect physique vanished from sight, leaving only a dark silhouette.

There wasn’t much to see in the shadows, so Jiang Yunnuan looked away, rolled over, and snuggled under the covers. She was immediately enveloped by a scent like pine and snow that seemed to carry a faint chill.

’Huh, is this his scent? It’s actually quite nice.’

Just then, the man walked over, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed, causing the mattress to dip.

Jiang Yunnuan peeked from under her eyelids. In the darkness, she could vaguely make out his large frame lying flat on the very edge of the bed. His hands were folded over his stomach, his posture rigid. He was motionless and very quiet.

A vast chasm separated them.

’He’s sleeping so close to the edge, isn’t he afraid of rolling over and falling off? And to avoid touching me, he isn’t even using the blanket.’

The sight made Jiang Yunnuan secretly grind her teeth. She was very unhappy. ’Does this guy really have to be so guarded?’

’It’s as if he thinks I’m going to do something to him!’

She huffily turned her back to him and let her consciousness enter the system.

Today’s sign-in reward was as generous as ever: one Farm Upgrade Card, four Crystal Stones, 110 Points, one bag of Organic Fertilizer, and nine Beauty Pill Fragments.

She had already collected over a hundred Beauty Pill Fragments, enough to synthesize an Intermediate Beauty Pill. However, her goal was the Divine Level Beauty Pill, so it was still too early for that.

After gathering all the Beauty Pill Fragments, Jiang Yunnuan entered the farm and upgraded it again.

After the upgrade, she planted seeds in the newly available plot of land, then used the Organic Fertilizer on all her crops.

This Organic Fertilizer could reduce the maturation period by one day. After being fertilized, the crops she planted yesterday would be ready to harvest in just a few more hours, becoming ingredients for her.

Done with the farm, she went to check on the chickens and the cow.

The chickens and the cow were still growing. In a few more days, the chickens would start laying eggs, and the cow would be able to produce milk.

She contentedly withdrew her consciousness from the system. Suddenly, the man’s steady, even breathing became clear in her ears.

But Jiang Yunnuan wasn’t the least bit sleepy. Listening to his breathing, her thoughts ran wild, and she suddenly remembered how tempting he had looked after his shower.

Some thoughts, once they take root, are impossible to Control.

And so, she couldn’t help but think about those... unhealthy things again. Her growing curiosity, left unsatisfied, was an unbearable itch driving her mad.

After hesitating for a few minutes, she blinked, turned over, and craned her neck to look at him.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

Her words were met with a long silence, like a stone sinking into the ocean.

’Oh, so the guy really is asleep?’

’This is perfect!!!’

Jiang Yunnuan was ecstatic. She scooted closer, reached out, and gently lifted the edge of his bathrobe, her hand reaching into his pants.

’Tsk, I’m going to see for myself just how reliable that rumor is.’

Suddenly, her wrist was seized in a powerful grip, the force so great it felt like her bones would be crushed.

The pain itself was nothing to her, but being caught red-handed made her feel so guilty, embarrassed, and ashamed that she cried out dramatically.

"Oww, it hurts, it hurts! Let me go..."

"What do you think you’re doing?"

The man’s cold voice rumbled, laced with deep disgust and anger. He didn’t loosen his grip.

Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes darted around, and she immediately chose to play dumb.

"What do you mean, what am I doing? I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Hearing this, Ming Ye let out a cold laugh. He didn’t say anything more, but the hand gripping her wrist tightened, making Jiang Yunnuan frown in pain.

’I still can’t figure out if he was just pretending to be asleep this whole time, or if he’s so alert that I woke him up.’

’But either way, my hand on his body is ironclad proof. This is going to be a little hard to deny!’

Jiang Yunnuan bit her lip. The next moment, she feigned surprise. "Oh my, how did my hand get here?"

Before the man could react, she continued.

"Um, I think I have a sleepwalking problem. I often do the most incredible things after I fall asleep. It looks like I was sleepwalking again just now. What on earth was I trying to do to you??"

"Do you think I’m that easy to fool?"

His cold voice was low, radiating a dangerous aura. He narrowed his eyes, his tone menacing.

"Tell me. What were you trying to do? If you don’t explain yourself, you can say goodbye to this hand!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll talk! No need to be so aggressive!"

Seeing that she couldn’t bluff her way out, Jiang Yunnuan decided to face the matter head-on. She cleared her throat and spoke with self-righteous confidence.

"I can tell you my motive, but first, I have a few questions for you, and you have to answer them seriously. Tell me, have we undergone Contract Termination yet? Am I still your Contract Master? Are you my property? And within reasonable limits, isn’t it perfectly natural for me to do whatever I want to you?"

This was her nature: act confident even when she was in the wrong, and argue shamelessly even when she had no leg to stand on. In short, she would never easily admit defeat or apologize!

Therefore, despite being in such a disadvantageous position, she quickly played her trump card.

"You said you wouldn’t touch me!"

He fell silent for a moment before replying grimly.

Jiang Yunnuan instantly smiled. She had a feeling she had gained the upper hand.

"Since you’re not answering my questions, that means you agree by default. So, as long as it’s within reasonable limits, I can do whatever I want to you."

"As for what I promised you... you’re right, I went back on my word. I’m sorry about that. Can you please not be angry? I promise I absolutely won’t touch you again."

After hearing her words, his anger inexplicably subsided by half, but his expression quickly darkened again.

"Is your promise even credible?"

At his words, Jiang Yunnuan’s face instantly turned bright red with shame. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

’Okay, so I did break my promise, went back on my word, and made myself look like a fool. I guess I really don’t have any credibility left.’

’Sigh, my damn credibility score is bankrupt thanks to my own actions. This guy will probably never believe a word I say again.’

Just as she was drowning in shame, the man’s cold voice sounded in her ear again.

"You still haven’t said what you were trying to do."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Seriously? Why is he still so hung up on that?’
