ALL NOVEL Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Bewitching the Little Kitty! The Strategy Begins!
"Again?"
Dai Mubai turned his head at lightning speed and directly threw the question to Li Yusong.
Li Yusong instantly felt a chill run down his spine!
[Emotion Points +4444]
"No!"
He hurriedly said—
"No need for re-assessment!"
"You all passed!"
"Mubai, take them to the dormitory."
"Teacher has something else to attend to, I'll be busy now."
With that, he slipped away without looking back.
But no one mocked him.
After all, just thinking about fighting against Zhuge Lan gave them chills!
"Follow me." Dai Mubai beckoned, "You all must be tired today; take a good rest. School starts tomorrow."
Everyone silently followed.
Ning Rongrong approached Xiao Wu, and they subtly distanced themselves from Zhuge Lan.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, came over.
"Just now, when you fought against the Soul Saint with a martial soul attachment, was it a special soul skill or physical strength?"
Without any hint of politeness, she directly asked.
Zhuge Lan didn't beat around the bush either.
He replied straightforwardly, "It's a special method to strengthen physical strength, which also increases the age of the soul rings."
Just as expected!
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath.
This allowed the taller Zhuge Lan to see a magnificent view.
But he merely glanced and then shifted his gaze away.
As a model youth of the 21st century, one must be a gentleman.
The first glance is a man's nature.
The second glance is impolite.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed this detail and turned her raised hand to brush her long hair.
"I don't know what price I have to pay for you to be willing to help me."
Zhu Zhuqing said sincerely—
"But I have my reasons for needing to become stronger!"
"So, I owe you a request, and as long as it doesn't go against my bottom line, you can come to me anytime in the future to redeem it!"
Oh!
This girl is clever; she knows how to write a blank check?
But given Zhu Zhuqing's character, it's believed she wouldn't go back on her word.
Zhuge Lan glanced at the system interface.
[Emotion Points: 213657;]
Good gracious!
210,000, huh?
This time he hadn't used the Strongest Identification Technique and only brushed for about an hour.
It was barely half the time of a stick of incense.
Subtracting the balance before the battle, this wave should have harvested over 180,000 emotion points, right?
Tsk!
It seems that more tricks need to be employed.
With this kind of money, it's easier to communicate with people.
"Seeing you so persistent, fine." Zhuge Lan reluctantly said, "But I must clarify first; my method of strengthening physical strength is very special. You mustn't turn against me later!"
Very special?
Zhu Zhuqing cautiously asked, "Will there be excessive physical contact with me?"
"Absolutely not." Zhuge Lan said unpleased, "I'm not a small person who takes advantage of others; if you don't believe me, you don't have to do it."
Hmm.
He wouldn't do anything sneaky.
But.
If you come close on your own, that's not his business.
"Don't!"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Zhuge Lan's arm, pleading—
"I'm not doubting you; I'm just instinctively cautious."
"I won't ask any more; don't cancel it!"

[Emotion Points +999]
Huh?
Why did it suddenly flood the screen?
He looked up.
Leading the charge with eyes blazing was Dai Mubai, all of them were looking over in this direction.
It must have been Zhu Zhuqing's "don't" that attracted their attention.
This...
Shouldn't it be time to put on a show?
Zhuge Lan ignored them and pushed Zhu Zhuqing's hand away.
"Alright, then come to my room tonight."
And then he strode away.
[Emotion Points +3333]
[Emotion Points +2222]
[Emotion Points +999]
Zhao Wujie's fate was still fresh in his memory.
Even Dai Mubai didn't dare to rashly step forward to ask anything.
He was simmering with emotions all the way.
"We're here." Dai Mubai briefly explained, "To the left is the girls' dormitory, and to the right is the boys' dormitory, with each pair having a thatched hut."
He walked toward Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to ask something.
But Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored him.
She chose a thatched hut and entered.
Ning Rongrong followed, grinning, her face full of gossip.
Dai Mubai turned back helplessly.
He saw Zhuge Lan enter a thatched hut.
Meanwhile, Tang San, who originally walked toward this one, decisively turned and chose another.
Dai Mubai struggled for a while.
He still gritted his teeth and entered the thatched hut, hesitatingly wanting to say something to Zhuge Lan, who was tidying up the bed.
Emotion points started pouring in.
With the "vegetables" being delivered to the door, Zhuge Lan naturally wouldn't interrupt.
He acted as if he didn't see Dai Mubai, letting him stew in his own juices.
Tidying up here, tidying up there.
Busy as a bee, he didn't turn around.
"Ahem!" Dai Mubai coughed and asked, "Zhuge, what do you mean by letting Zhuqing come to your room tonight?"
Only then did Zhuge Lan stop.
"To strengthen her physical strength."
Zhuge Lan said nonchalantly—
"Looking at her, she seems to have some blood feud waiting to become stronger to seek revenge."
"Since we are all classmates now, and I happen to have a potion left, she was the first to speak up."
"So I'm just helping her out."
Dai Mubai let out a sigh of relief.
Strengthening physical strength? That's fine.
But he still couldn't help but subtly remind him—
"Zhuge, Zhuqing has some ties with me; I hope you can understand."
Zhuge Lan smiled and nodded, indicating he understood.
But in his heart, he thought—
—He doesn't even know how to assert his claim; why should I understand you?
Dai Mubai finally showed a smile.
"Good brother!"
"If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me!"
Then Zhuge Lan wouldn't be polite.
"Actually, I have something right now."
"Oh?" Dai Mubai said in surprise, "Tell me!"
Zhuge Lan pointed to another messy bed.
"It seems that someone else is living in this room."
"Could you help me get him to move out?"
"Or give me another single room."
"After all, Zhuqing is coming tonight."
"It's a secret recipe, not something to be disclosed."
Dai Mubai gave him a knowing look.
"It's Xiao Ao living in this room."
"I just happen to need to move back in; I'll just take my stuff over."
"Don't worry about anything else tonight; just do your best."
With that.
Dai Mubai lifted Oscar's bed and left with a grunt.
Leaving Zhuge Lan feeling touched.
What a good guy!
Helping others while trying to woo your fiancée!
But wait!
When Dai Mubai chose to abandon Zhuqing and fled the Star Luo Empire alone.
This marriage agreement became nothing more than a formality.
'So I'm not stealing someone else's wife, but rather soothing the heart of a wounded girl.'
'I'm just too kind-hearted!'
'Hehehe—'
That night.
Zhuge Lan was trying to sit cross-legged to cultivate his soul power, but the turtle-paced progress frustrated him.
He simply pulled out the system interface.
-------------------
[Emotion Value System]
Emotion Points: 227365;
Level: [35];
Soul Bone: [External Attachment: Eye of the Sage/1,000,000 years];
First Martial Soul: [Li Jing Long Sword];
Second Martial Soul: [Thorn Armor];
Martial Soul Fusion: [Phantom Spirit Cat (Pending Unlock)];
[Store]
-------------------
He clicked directly on the level's [35].
-------------------
[Level Up]: 10,000 Emotion Points/Level;
-------------------
10,000 emotion points for one level; that's alright.
He clicked with his little hand.
[Consumed 10,000 Emotion Points; Level increased to 36!]
Not bad.
Zhuge Lan didn't continue leveling up.
Mainly because system abilities don't involve consumption.
The level difference doesn't matter much to him.
Everyone knew he was previously level 35.
It's fine to break through to level 36.
But if he jumped to level 37, it would be quite troublesome if he was recognized as an evil soul master.
One more thing is that being low-level to act tough, stepping on those Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, or even Title Douluos.
Can harvest even more emotion points!
"Knock knock knock—"
There was a knock on the door, followed by Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice.
"I'm here."
Oh!
Here comes the good stuff!
But Zhuge Lan didn't make a move.
Zhu Zhuqing at the door didn't urge him either; she quietly waited.
Half a minute later.
Zhuge Lan finally got up and opened the door.
He apologetically said—
"Sorry."
"Just broke through a level, so I was a bit late."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened!
"Breakthrough level? I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"Not at all, I'm level 36 now," Zhuge Lan replied casually.
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +666]
From the flurry of messages in this chat, it was clear that many eyes were secretly peeping.
Zhuge Lan moved aside, inviting Zhu Zhuqing in.
He closed the door.
Standing in the center of the room, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhuge Lan locked eyes.
A lone man and woman, together in one room.
An ambiguous atmosphere began to spread in the room.
But Zhu Zhuqing remained unmoved, her gaze still cold.
Zhuge Lan didn't make any suggestive remarks, signaling for Zhu Zhuqing to wait a moment.
He approached the boiler and pretended to fiddle with his "storage belt."
In reality, he spent 50,000 emotion points to exchange for a yellow object the size of a human head.
He tossed it into the pot to heat.
Then he returned to Zhu Zhuqing.
He used 1 emotion point to exchange for a steel wire as thick as a finger.
"This thing has quite a strong effect," he said.
"To prevent you from causing trouble, I'll have to tie you up first."
"Are you going to do it, or should I?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't waste words and spread her arms, showcasing her attractive figure.
She signaled Zhuge Lan to do as he pleased.
Zhuge Lan began to bind Zhu Zhuqing, tightening it into her flesh.
Although he didn't know how to do complex bindings, even ordinary restraints were very tempting against Zhu Zhuqing's explosive figure.
A strange fragrance spread through the room.
Zhuge Lan got up and went to the pot, stirring it with chopsticks for a while.
He brought the pot over to Zhu Zhuqing, holding a piece of lollipop candy in his right hand.
"I'll remind you again, this thing has quite a strong effect."
"If you're sure, after you drink it, immediately open your mouth and hold this candy in your mouth."
"To prevent you from biting your own tongue."
Zhu Zhuqing decisively nodded.
"I'm ready; just go ahead!"
Very good.
Zhuge Lan blew on the pot to lower the temperature slightly.
Then he poured the entire pot of gelatinous substance into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.
And immediately stuffed the lollipop candy into her mouth to seal it shut.
He sat quietly on the side, waiting.
After several seconds.
Zhu Zhuqing's fair skin turned a deep red, and a lot of sweat broke out, soaking through her already tight clothing.
Her inner garments were outlined clearly.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but squirm, low moans escaping her nostrils.
Very alluring.
Her emotions were also wildly fluctuating.
[Emotion Points +999]
[Emotion Points +999]
[Emotion Points +999]
What Zhuge Lan had given Zhu Zhuqing was called whale gel.
It could indeed enhance physical strength and increase the absorption limit of soul ring years.
This particular piece was produced by the system, with a limit of up to 99,999 years, making it a premium item.
However, the whale gel had a small "side effect"—it was aphrodisiac!
Because of this, many inept nobles monopolized whale gel for their own pleasure.
Most of them were not cut out for cultivation.
Thus, the true effect of whale gel had remained undiscovered by the world.
Back to the main topic.
Right now, Zhu Zhuqing was in a state of heat.
It had even taken over her consciousness, instinctively making her want to leap towards Zhuge Lan for a good "release."
Let's be honest.
Who wouldn't love a charming big cat?
But Zhuge Lan felt that after a satisfying meal, he could still differentiate things.
If he were to take Zhu Zhuqing right now.
It would feel good.
But Zhu Zhuqing would end up hunting Zhuge Lan down like Xiaolongnv (a character from a popular novel).
It was better to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and politely enjoy the show.
Once the martial soul fusion technique was unlocked, wouldn't he be able to get Zhu Zhuqing then?
Imagine how joyful it would be to indulge every night!
So Zhuge Lan simply stood in place, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to rub against him.
—This was your initiative; I didn't lay a hand on you!
[Emotion Points +1999]
[Emotion Points +1999]
Hey!
Are you getting satisfied?
Until a reddish-brown liquid seeped out from Zhu Zhuqing's skin.
From a charming big cat to a dirty stray cat.
Only then did Zhuge Lan nod slightly.
With a serious tone, he said, "You've passed the most dangerous stage; you don't need me to guard you anymore. The rest depends on you."
He turned to leave, thoughtfully locking the door.
Then he curled up at the door and closed his eyes to meditate.
[Emotion Points +2999]
[Emotion Points +2999]
Look at how excited Zhu Zhuqing is!
Zhuge Lan smirked.
Indeed.
What girl could resist a gentleman who was strong and handsome, especially one who shared two martial soul fusion techniques with her?
Meanwhile, in the other dorms, pairs of eyes peeked in secretly.
Listening to the continuous low moans coming from inside the room, and watching Zhuge Lan guarding the door.
Their senses were heightened.
After all, judging by the noises inside, Zhu Zhuqing had completely lost control.
Zhuge Lan was already stronger than Zhu Zhuqing, so he could have done anything he wanted.
But he didn't.
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +666]
Dai Mubai closed the window, looking satisfied.
"I've made my choice about this brother!"
