Chapter 105: Chapter 69: Want Clothes? Then Shut Up.

Huh?

What’s going on?

"That works, but I’ll do it myself!"

Snapping out of it, he said softly.

Jiang Yunnuan: "???"

Before she could react, a pair of strong arms suddenly scooped her up, holding her in an embrace with her legs parted around him. She instantly snapped to her senses, eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at him.

"Are you serious?"

"This isn’t for real, but it’ll have to do!"

He rested his chin on her shoulder and closed his eyes. His senses were filled with her unique, sweet scent.

It was strange. The sweet scent on her body was usually very faint, but at a time like this, it grew much heavier. It was a cloying sweetness that burrowed straight into one’s heart—an indescribably alluring fragrance.

No wonder Jun Yao was so captivated that he tried to kill Si Xie just to have her for himself.

She was already this deadly with a flawed face; he couldn’t imagine how much more captivating she would be without that blemish.

An unknown amount of time passed before a notification signaling the task’s completion sounded in Jiang Yunnuan’s mind.

"Hey, let go."

She instantly snapped out of her daze and reached out to push the man away.

Fu Yuan: "..."

’This woman changes her tune fast!’

’The moment she gets what she wants, she turns on you. She certainly wasn’t like this when she needed my help!’

’What does she think I am?’

’A tool?’

He felt a baseless anger flare up. Sullenly, he loosened his grip, and the woman in his arms immediately scrambled off his lap, completely oblivious to his mood.

Her consciousness entered the system. Jiang Yunnuan found the reward package and opened it, immediately receiving: 2000 Points, Farm Upgrade Card x3, Organic Fertilizer x2, Beauty Pill Fragments x21, Iron Sword x1 (Upgradable), Divine Bone x1, and Crystal Stone x12.

’Wow, the rewards are even better than I imagined!’ Jiang Yunnuan was overjoyed.

She switched to the new items, the Divine Bone and the Iron Sword, to check their descriptions.

The Iron Sword was currently just an ordinary item, but it could be refined and upgraded. It would evolve infinitely along with her Cultivation, its potential far exceeding her imagination.

The Divine Bone, on the other hand, possessed a divine nature. It could be used to temper magical artifacts and improve their quality. It could also be refined and absorbed, having an effect on Beastmen similar to that of a Beast Soul or an Immortal Fruit.

’Good stuff. This is all great stuff!’

After reading the descriptions, Jiang Yunnuan happily switched to the redemption interface. She carefully selected two outfits with matching shoes and a pack of wet wipes, spending three hundred Points to redeem them.

And so, Fu Yuan watched with his own eyes as two sets of neatly folded clothes suddenly appeared in her arms. One was a deep blue interstellar knight armor, and the other was a matching Combat Knee-Length Skirt.

In addition, there were two pairs of matching shoes and a pack of wet wipes.

His pupils quaked.

’She really has clothes...’

’So this woman wasn’t lying!’

Sensing his stare, Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes flickered, and a mischievous impulse seized her.

She set the clothes aside, then turned and threw herself into his arms. With one arm wrapped around his neck and the other hand pinching his chin, she gave him a wicked, eyebrow-raising smirk.

"Oh dear, you’ve discovered my secret. What should I do? I guess this means we can’t go through with the Contract Termination. Are you terribly regretful? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? Does it make you want to kill me?"

"A secret? Sorry, I didn’t see a thing."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Hmph. No fun at all!’

She rolled off him, opened the pack of wet wipes, and tossed a few sheets to him.

"Clean yourself up. Get dressed."

A short while later, both of them were dressed. By now, the sky had grown completely dark.

Fu Yuan opened his Light Brain to check their location when he saw a message in the group chat from Ming Ye.

The message was already more than fifty hours old.

He pursed his lips, silent for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Yunnuan.

Sensing his gaze, she asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

"A message from Ming Ye."

He stated the fact plainly. Jiang Yunnuan froze for a second, then gasped.

"Oh no, how could I have forgotten about Ming Ye, Jiang Tang, and Jiang Wang? They must still be waiting for me."

’It’s been so long. With no word from me, Jiang Tang and Jiang Wang must be worried sick.’

Jiang Yunnuan quickly opened her Light Brain, went into the harem group chat, and replied to Ming Ye’s message.

King Jiang: "Ming Ye, are you there?" @Ming Ye

DING.

Upon receiving the notification, Ming Ye’s eyes snapped open. He activated his Light Brain, and just as he’d expected, it was a message from the group chat.

Cold Concubine - Ming Ye: "I’m here!"

He replied instantly and quickly received a response from Jiang Yunnuan.

King Jiang: "I’m fine. Tell Jiang Tang and Jiang Wang not to worry. By the way, send me your location so I can see how far apart we are." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ming Ye immediately sent his location.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cliff, Jun Yao also heard the notification. He silently opened his Light Brain, reading Jiang Yunnuan’s message word by word.

Suddenly, the chat interface flashed. He had been kicked from the group.

On his Light Brain’s interface, he could no longer find any trace of the "King Jiang and Her Harem" group. It was as if it had never existed.
