The imperial armor on Luo Mu's body gradually faded away like ashes, and Ning Guang, whom he was holding, looked at him with a smile:

"It seems you haven't let me down after all."

Luo Mu raised the corners of his mouth, about to speak, when he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he fell towards Ning Guang.

This time he didn't faint, but looking at what appeared to be the pattern on Ningguang's collar, and feeling the warmth and softness on his face, he suddenly felt—

I think I'd be better off just being dizzy!

But this 'thump-thump-thump'... doesn't seem to be my heartbeat?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat strange, and Amber also made a subtle comment:

"This scene seems a little familiar... Could this guy be doing this on purpose?!"

The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 374 I want to see Lady Ningguang and Yelan dressed as bunny girls together!

Qunyu Pavilion.

"Thank you all for your hard work this time. The criminals captured at the venue will be handed over to special personnel. Even without discussing the investigation of the Abyss Order, the criminals are of great value as research samples for the Abyss Order's new technology of humanoid anchors."

Ningguang personally poured Luo Mu a cup of tea, speaking softly as she did so.

Unlike last time, this time Luo Mu and everyone in the team were invited inside. They felt quite embarrassed as Ningguang poured tea for them one by one.

After all, they were mostly just watching the show from the sidelines. It was mainly Luo Mu who was fighting on the sidelines, while Ye Lan remained casual and jokingly took the initiative to talk to Ning Guang.

"So, Lady Ningguang, have you decided how to pay? If it weren't for Luo Mu this time, things would have been much worse, right? Who knows what might happen to someone taken away by the Abyss Order? Maybe it would end up in some kind of restricted or terrible situation. Don't tell me this was originally to cooperate with our investigation."

"I will remember such things without you having to tell me."

Ningguang glanced at Yelan, who was watching the show with amusement. Half of her mind was indifferent to Yelan's sabotage, while the other half was puzzled as to why Yelan seemed to have some ill intentions.

Unable to think of much for the moment, Ningguang could only turn to the others and continue speaking:

"If it weren't for your discovery, according to my original plan, without any preparation, I'm afraid even more security wouldn't have been able to protect me."

After all, the barrier of the Abyss Anchor Point involves the world barrier, and even the young master, an executive officer, has no way to deal with such a thing. No matter how well her security is prepared, it can't be more powerful than that of an executive officer.

The real problem is that the Abyss Anchors are incredibly valuable. Their two previous appearances in Mondstadt caused major incidents, and this time the Abyss Order even went so far as to expose new technologies. All of this was just to target her, clearly indicating that the Abyss Order has much bigger plans.

Without dwelling on the matter for the moment, Ningguang continued:

"Since you have all been incorporated into Liyue's merit system, I will prepare a reward that will surely satisfy you in terms of economy, resources, and merit."

"Above this—"

Ningguang looked at Luo Mu and said, "If Mr. Luo Mu needs any help in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to provide assistance."

That's quite a promise!

Not to mention the others, even Ye Lan showed a surprised expression.

"Although I know that Lord Tianquanxing is always generous, aren't you being a little too generous this time?"

As she said this, Ye Lan's expression suddenly turned into a teasing and ambiguous look as she said to Ning Guang, "Or is this a special treatment that only Mr. Luo Mu receives?"

Ningguang remained smiling and composed.

“It is precisely because I am a businessman that I understand the value of life even more. If the situation had really developed to the worst point, what would be the point of all that we are doing now? So I don’t think this sacrifice is ‘too generous’.”

"Huh?"

Ye Lan smiled knowingly, then, after a moment's thought, she reached out and touched Luo Mu, who seemed lost in thought.

"Hey, we've said so much, aren't you, the main character, going to say a few words?"

"what?"

Luo Mu turned his head with a confused look.

At this point, Amber, who was sitting on the other side, understood better.

"You're not still in the arms of Lord Tianquanxing, are you?"

"How could that be? Don't slander me!"

Luo Mu immediately regained consciousness.

He would never admit that he had been wondering whether the rapid heartbeat he heard when Ningguang's magnanimity hit him in the face was due to being too nervous watching the fight up close, or for some other reason, and he also recalled various details from that time.

Of course, this is all just to find the answer! Things like fullness, softness, and aroma are just secondary considerations.

Having prepared a pretext for his own argument, Luo Mu looked at Amber, who seemed to be saying "Yes, yes, I understand," and solemnly raised his hand to cough.

"Well, I certainly appreciate Lady Ningguang's kindness. If Lady Ningguang needs anything in the future, I will definitely do my best to help!"

"When you said that, I thought you were going to refuse, but it turns out you still want to continue?"

Paimon's rant.

Luo Mu remained expressionless.

That's obvious. We've finally made such a good start, are we just going to give up and not keep up the good work?

and--

[Ding-dong~ Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. This is the mischievous system girl who heard your troubles~]

[According to the famous suspension bridge effect, host, you don't actually need to care whether Ningguang's heartbeat is due to nervousness or excitement; the two can be completely confused!]

The suspension bridge effect... I think I've heard of it.

[Well, to put it simply, it's an experiment where confessing your feelings on a suspension bridge over a cliff has a significantly higher success rate than confessing in a normal setting. This is because the increased heart rate and adrenaline caused by the danger on the suspension bridge are mistaken for romantic feelings.]

So that means...?

In other words~

[Lady Ningguang's favorability towards the host is currently at its highest point ever!]

I haven't raised Ningguang's affection level before, so how could it possibly drop if it's not at its maximum?

Luo Mu remained silent.

He also secretly glanced at Ningguang, whose face always wore that polite smile.

You can't tell at all!

However, if he hadn't actually heard Ningguang's heartbeat with his own ears, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

[Hoo hoo~ Just how high is Ningguang's affection level right now? Why not just try and see?]

The system girl's words were clearly enticing and instigating.

[You just got permission to make your request, so keeping your heart racing is a key point in this strategy!]

That's what they say...

He scratched his cheek, looking at Ningguang who was still behaving calmly and talking to the others. He was indeed curious to see if Ningguang's face would show any other expression, and what that would look like.

Even when she was about to be taken away by the Abyss Order, Lady Ningguang remained calm. That must be very difficult, right?

Even if I could make a request... ah!

"that."

Luo Mu, who had been offline for a while, raised his hand, and everyone's attention immediately turned to him.

He looked at Ningguang in front of him, blinked, and said innocently and naively:

"I want to see Lady Ningguang dressed as a bunny girl... Is that alright? Ah, it would be best if she were with Minister Yelan."

Everyone: "…………?"

The Divine Calculation System Girl will never be... in Liyue! : Chapter 375 Night Orchid: The Jade Pavilion's Dramatic Transformation into a Nightclub

"I have to say... in a way, I really admire you, senior."

Noelle looked at Luo Mu with a strange expression. "After all, even among erotic enthusiasts, not every erotic enthusiast would have the courage to make such a request, especially in front of so many people."

"Who's being a pervert? You maid, don't you dare slander your master!"

He astutely refuted the question first, then picked up his teacup and said with a look of exasperation, "You're so hopeless!"

"I fought a hard battle, and afterward, when I was exhausted, you didn't even bother to provide any service. You could tolerate Lady Ningguang helping me up, but now you don't even think about how to help your master recover?"

Upon hearing this, Noelle's expression of disdain only intensified:

"So, senior, your recovery method is to see Lady Ningguang and Miss Yelan dressed as bunny girls?"

You haven't even worn it yet!

Watching the two bickering like old times, Luo Mu's group had become quite used to it, but Amber still made a gesture to Ningguang:

"Lady Ningguang, you don't need to take these words to heart."

"This is indeed a very unexpected request."

Ningguang's face did show a brief moment of surprise, but it was only for a blink of an eye before she regained her elegant smile.

"Since I made this promise myself, if I can't even fulfill such a small request, then there's probably no point in talking about credibility anymore, right?"

"This... shouldn't really be considered a 'small' request, right?"

"I'm sorry," said Professor Fischl awkwardly, but Ningguang herself didn't seem to care.

"To be honest, Mr. Luo Mu worked so hard that he collapsed from exhaustion this time, all to protect me. It is indeed a bit lacking in sincerity to offer some money as a thank you gift."

"My insistence on helping Mr. Luo Mu into the car after the war was also for this reason. Mr. Luo Mu's suggestion can be considered as filling some of the guilt in my heart."

Ningguang spoke these words not only methodically but also calmly, leaving everyone stunned.

"Wow, are all the merchants in Liyue this kind?"

Paimon looked on in amazement.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, there is no merchant without cunning. Among merchants, there are naturally those who are keen on speculation and cheating. But I think such people would not be able to become the Star of Heaven under the joint recommendation of the Nine Halls and Eight Gates."

Ningguang said this in a very ordinary tone with a smile, but it felt as if she had unintentionally revealed some very remarkable achievement.

Without dwelling on the topic, Ningguang efficiently moved the project directly to the next step:

"I don't have any clothes on hand, but it shouldn't take long to have them delivered by courier. I'm fine with that, but I don't know what Minister Yelan said."

Wow, isn't this a provocation?

Although Ningguang's smile never betrayed any flaws, it was still quite obvious to others.

Even so, it makes people feel that the two have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship. Otherwise, most people probably wouldn't even be qualified to be challenged by Lady Ningguang.

However, when it comes to wearing a bunny girl outfit... Lady Ningguang clearly provoked the wrong person.

"Oh?"

Sitting at the table, Ye Lan rested her chin on the back of her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "Has Lady Ningguang forgotten what kind of shop I own? Even Lady Ningguang doesn't care, so how could I possibly be intimidated?"

Everyone else at the table was stunned.

Seriously?! Are you two really going to do this?!

Really wear it? !

Together again?!

"Then I'll be absent for a little while."

Ningguang stood up with a confident smile.

Ye Lan also stood up, but as the nightclub owner, she couldn't resist asking Luo Mu a question:

"Since we've already ordered the bunny girls, how about we order some other services, boss? Fruits, snacks, drinks, massages—this Jade Pavilion has everything you could want."

Ye Lan's heart was now filled with schadenfreude.

They actually took the bait!

She certainly didn't care about wearing the bunny girl outfit again; it wouldn't make much difference once or twice anyway. What was really important was that the system had just asked her to fan the flames, and she had cooperated. She hadn't expected their Ningguang to take the bait so readily.

This is going to be interesting.
