Chapter 164 - Guests

"Young Master, the sun is shining on your backside; get up!"

Mu An groggily heard the call of his little maid, Ning Er.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl in a black and white maid outfit standing obediently by the bed.

Her sparkling big eyes blinked gently, reflecting only the figure of a man.

Long, straight, white legs, beautiful and elegant.

"The life of a villain is really blissful..."

The man couldn't help but murmur softly.

"Young Master, what are you talking about?"

Since Mu An's words were almost a whisper, Ning Er didn't hear clearly.

She could only tilt her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing, just wondering if you completed the 'punishment' task well last night without my supervision?"

Mu An sat up.

It was early in the morning, and a gold mine was right in front of him; it seemed he really couldn't pass up the opportunity!

Ning Er's pretty face turned slightly red, but her beautiful eyes were particularly serious.

"I did! I exceeded the task yesterday and repeated the Young Master's name over ten thousand times before going to bed!"

Over ten thousand times?

Mu An was taken aback.

Clearly, he had assigned her a 'punishment' of ten thousand times; how did she end up taking the initiative to 'add more lines'?

"Ah, Ning'er is just afraid of counting too few, so she intentionally counted a bit more..."

Seemingly aware of the other person's doubts, Ning'er playfully stuck out her tongue at the man, trying to act cute to distract him.

In fact, only she knew how many times it was, over ten thousand times. Sometimes it was a few hundred more (520), and sometimes it was about a thousand more (1314).

[Every day, adding 520 times or 1314 times your name is a way for a girl to express her affection for you. Of course, she has no intention of telling you this little secret; it's one of the happiest things she does every day!]

[From Ning'er's shy and joyful emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +5 years]!]

Mu An couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

'This little girl... doing this early in the morning, how can I feel justified in collecting your emotional rewards in the future?'

He reached out and gently ruffled the girl's hair, his touch tender, like that of a lover.

Ning'er felt a bit confused inside.

But she was still very enamored with the feeling of being pampered by him, so she deliberately remained silent.

'Just for a while, let Ning'er enjoy it a bit longer...'

'How wonderful it would be if this kind of life could continue forever...'

Ning'er lowered her head, her autumn-like eyes shimmering, creating ripples like starlight.

[From the girl's joyful emotional fluctuation +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +50]!]

.....

Morning.

It was quite noisy and bustling, filled with the scent of humanity everywhere.

However, the girl in red sitting in the courtyard downstairs did not feel the same.

Instead, she felt a bit like sitting on pins and needles!

Clearly, the maid had gone up to wake them, but why had they not come down after such a long wait?

Assassins are generally patient, and she was no exception, so she continued to wait patiently!

At this moment, she had disguised herself as a rural girl who had just entered the big city, looking for a job to support her grandparents.

Then she 'just happened' to come to the Mu family manor to interview for a maid position.

And she 'just happened' to meet the maid Ning'er here.

Inadvertently revealing her tragic background, she sought to secure a job.

Thus, she successfully gained some sympathy from the other party.

Next, she just needed to find an opportunity to stay.

But thinking about how that guy had bullied her three times, she was still worried about whether she would reveal any flaws.

Even though she was confident in her disguise skills...

She changed her sitting posture, her long legs hidden under the burlap pants pressed together.

She tried to make herself look more ladylike, deliberately putting on the reserved demeanor typical of someone who had never seen the world.

The discomfort subtly creeping up her knees made the girl in red involuntarily gasp.

A hint of shame and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes.

'That guy is such a jerk!'

Who makes someone kneel on durian shells and interrogate enemies all night?

Isn't this pure torture!

[From the girl in red's shame and anger emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2500]!]

[From the girl in red's confusion emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Forced Shortening Card -1 cm]!]

Time quietly passed.

Finally, there was movement from upstairs as someone came down.

"Are you the guest that Ning'er mentioned?"

Mu An's expression was lazy, walking down slowly like an old man.

At this moment, Ning'er's pretty face was flushed, and she glanced at the girl in red with a bit of embarrassment.

It was all her fault for being too enamored with the young master's gentleness that she accidentally forgot there was a guest waiting downstairs.

"Yes! Young Master, her background is quite tragic."

"Not only did she come out looking for a job and couldn't find one, but she was also cheated out of all her money by a black intermediary, so she had no choice but to come here to try her luck!"

"By the way, Young Master, I secretly checked her out; her looks and figure are quite good! They match your aesthetic perfectly!"

The last sentence was whispered by Ning'er into Mu An's ear.

Oh no, the girl even mischievously winked at him.

But both Mu An and the girl in red were cultivators.

Naturally, her words fell into the ears of the girl in red without missing a beat!

[From the girl in red's speechless emotional fluctuation +21, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +6666]!]

The assassin female lead still wanted to hide her identity?

Meanwhile, the emotional rewards with real-name registration were already bursting out!

Mu An found it somewhat amusing.

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll test her!"

"If she qualifies, what's wrong with giving her a job?"

He pretended to be unaware and said.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about how to set up this test to maximize his own benefits!

As a villain, shouldn't he be vigorously collecting the other party's emotional rewards this time?
