When Li Qingluo no longer had thoughts of dying, Li Hao's moment to shine arrived.
Granny Bai, guarding outside the secret chamber, was still unaware that her mistress could be overturned even when holding absolute advantage.
At this moment, she observed her surroundings with all her senses, guarding against any disturbance.
As for the faint gasps and cries from within, she dismissed them as hallucinations.
After all, her mistress was alone in her chambers and needed to relax and vent sometimes, right?
[Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the 803rd ranked individual from the Compendium of Beautiful Women in the Martial World, the Mistress of Mantuo Mountain Villa: Li Qingluo. Rewards are being calculated...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Attribute-less Inner Force *10, Bei Su Qing Feng and its antidote *999, Villain Points *1000]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Instant Camera System Built-in Camera. Secret Skill: Sleight of Hand (Grandmaster Level)]
[System detected host acquiring a new functional plugin. System is upgrading, upgrade duration: 15 minutes. Other functions are unaffected during the upgrade.]
"Holy crap, an instant camera? System, come out! What do you mean by this?" Li Hao stared at the unconscious Li Qingluo, shouting inwardly at the System.
[Host, I am the System. My responsibilities include issuing quests, distributing rewards. Chatting is not within my scope of work.]
"Who asked you to chat? I'm asking you, how can there be such a divine artifact like an instant camera in this world?" Li Hao's face darkened. If I want to chat, I can find girls.
I can talk about life and ideals with them, but talking to you is just asking for trouble, you're so sharp-tongued it's deadly.
[Since it exists, it has a reason to exist. Just like how you and I both exist in this world. Also, host, don't you want to record your beautiful memories? This thing is much more high-class than the painters you hired, tsk tsk...] The System even imitated Li Hao's strange tone.
[System plugin, Instant Camera installed. Please check it yourself, host.]
[Instant Camera User Manual: When taking a photo, the host only needs to focus on the subject and think of taking a picture. Before retrieving the photo, a certain amount of Xuan Paper must be stored in the system space. The photo size will be scaled according to the paper size.]
Xuan Paper... I seem to have quite a bit in my space. I bought it for those painters before, but they didn't use it all.
As for what to photograph, it's so hard to decide!
"Take picture." Li Hao gently lifted the silk garment covering Li Qingluo.
"Click, click, click..."
"What did you just do?" Li Hao's actions still managed to wake Li Qingluo. Her first reaction upon waking was to cover her chest with both hands.
"Didn't do anything!" Hmph, people are so good at pretending.
She clearly knew everything that had happened, yet she was feigning ignorance.
Sigh, why was I so impatient just now? My movements were too big, and I woke up a sleeping beauty.
[System, retrieve photo.]
As soon as Li Hao finished thinking this, a colored photograph appeared in his hand.
Xuan Paper is quite large, its length is almost the same as Li Qingluo's height. The retrieved photo is basically indistinguishable from the real person.
Plus, the built-in camera has super high resolution. You can clearly see the fine hairs on her arms, and the capillaries beneath her fair skin.
"You're shameless, a hooligan, vulgar..." Seeing the picture, Li Qingluo instantly broke down. She rushed forward, snatched the paper, and tore it to shreds.
"Why so agitated? It's just a portrait!" Li Hao said indifferently.
But the System is truly too vulgar. It took such a clear picture, with a higher resolution than those cameras worth tens or hundreds of thousands in later generations.
"Don't cry, it's not a big deal." Li Hao pulled Li Qingluo into his arms and comforted her softly.
"You devil, how could you draw something like this? If others see it, how can I live?" Li Qingluo cried uncontrollably. Experiencing such extreme ups and downs in one day, it was already a miracle that she hadn't completely collapsed.
"I didn't draw this." Li Hao explained. He really didn't draw it; the System took the picture.
"You didn't draw it? You called someone in while I was unconscious." Li Qingluo's face turned pale, and her whole body began to tremble.
"What are you doing?" Li Hao quickly grabbed her right hand.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, Li Qingluo would have shattered his skull with a single palm strike.
"I don't want to live anymore... You scumbag, it's one thing for you to humiliate me yourself, I'll just consider it a mosquito bite, but you even called someone else in..." Li Qingluo was utterly despairing. In her life, only Duan Zhengchun and Li Hao had touched her. Her licking-dog father, Wang Yuyan, hadn't even let her touch his hand.
Today, to have such a lifelike painting made of her, it was identical to her real self.
"That... I drew it while you were asleep. My drawing skills are good, right!"
"But I warn you, if you follow me obediently, I'll keep them for myself to admire. If you don't, I'll spread them throughout the martial world, and your scandalous fame will last forever." Li Hao threatened.
"I'll definitely be obedient, please, just don't show them to anyone." Li Qingluo's eyes were filled with pleading.
Seeing Li Hao take out several more paintings, she no longer had the will to resist.
They were too realistic. Li Hao's drawing skills could be called divine, but why did he like to draw erotic paintings, with herself as the subject?
"Don't worry, I never do such things. It's still early, let's rest!" Li Hao lay down directly. Li Qingluo gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and then slowly lay down beside Li Hao.
This time, she had completely resigned herself. She couldn't deal with Li Hao's methods.
However, what awaited her this time was not a storm, but a gentle breeze, a pleasure for both body and mind.
"A Zhu, my head hurts so much!"
In the early morning, in Wang Yuyan's boudoir, A Bi slowly sat up.
What's going on? She seemed to remember that her aunt had invited them to dinner yesterday, and she had eaten a bite of food.
And then... there was no then, it was all a blur.
"Me too, my head really hurts." The eldest young lady, Wang Yuyan, also rubbed her forehead and sat up. What was going on? When did she get back into bed? And why were A Zhu and A Bi also in her bed?
"Wuwuwu... you guys just have a headache, my whole body aches," came A Zhu's voice from under the covers.
She wasn't a good sleeper and liked to toss and turn, so it was an accident that she ended up pinned down by the two of them.
As the old saying goes, a big butt means easy childbirth. Given the young lady's condition, she should have no problem giving the Young Master ten or eight little young masters!
"Oh no, we've been tricked. Where's my cousin? Won't mother kill him!" Wang Yuyan instantly sobered up.
She knew perfectly well what her mother was like; she didn't care who anyone was when she killed people. Moreover, her cousin had drunk her mother's tea yesterday, which had already violated her mother's taboo.
