As Qin Luo's words fell, Su Muwan's cheeks flushed red, and she froze in place.
Boom!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her brain, leaving it blank.
A sense of shame and embarrassment washed over her, making her want to hide.
No way, he actually figured it out?
It's over, it's over, it's over!
But it wasn't over yet.
Qin Luo continued hesitantly, "Miss, please try to restrain yourself a bit after reading... after all..."
!!
With those words, Su Muwan's heart trembled violently, as if he had hit upon her most serious, unspeakable secret.
"Ah!!!"
"Stop, stop, stop!! Don't calculate anymore! Don't say anything else!!!"
Su Muwan's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment. She hurriedly reached out to cover Qin Luo's mouth. With reddened eyes and a trembling voice, she said, "Enough, enough, I believe you now! I believe you have this ability!"
"Don't say it, don't say anything more!"
With his mouth covered, Qin Luo's nose was filled with the faint fragrance from Su Muwan's palm. He inwardly smiled.
Hmph, in the original story, it was explicitly stated that this big villain loved reading these kinds of romantic novels the most.
In the original, every time Zhu Lan came to report on the protagonist's group's situation, this description would appear:
[Behind the screen, that alluring and enchanting figure extended a delicate jade hand to turn to the next page of the book she was holding]
[While listening to her subordinate's report, she would lift the corner of her mouth in a disdainful smile and say, "Oh? Interesting. They actually defeated XXX. Not bad, but still not worth my personal attention. Zhu Lan, send XXX to test them again... If XXX fails, then send XXX..."]
[Zhu Lan: "Yes!"]
In short, every time Su Muwan appeared in the plot, she would be reading a book while listening to her subordinates' reports.
From the details in her speech, one could tell that what she was reading was a romantic novel.
However...
Reading was one thing.
Why was Su Muwan reacting so strongly?
He had only told her to restrain herself a bit after reading, not to start cultivating right away.
After all, with blood and qi surging right after reading, cultivating at that time could easily lead to qi deviation.
Anyway.
Since she didn't want him to say anymore, he wouldn't.
So Qin Luo removed Su Muwan's hand from his mouth and bowed with a smile, "Alright, Miss. As long as you believe this servant, that's enough."
On Su Muwan's side, she was internally mortified.
She never imagined that even the embarrassing thing she did after reading romantic novels would be calculated by him.
It's over, it's over!
How could she face Qin Luo after this!
Her cold and dignified image!
Waaaaaah!!
The art of divination was actually real!
The atmosphere in the car became tense and awkward.
Su Muwan suppressed her embarrassment and glared at Qin Luo, "Forget everything you calculated, understand?"
Qin Luo naturally knew that this villain had high self-esteem.
Being found out about reading romantic novels would of course make her angry and embarrassed.
So.
Qin Luo hurriedly and seriously promised, "Yes!"
[Caused strong emotional change in villain target, gained 10 Loyalty points!]
?
Wait, you're being a bit perverted now, damn system!!
Aren't you supposed to be the Lackey System?
Shouldn't this deduct 10 Loyalty points instead?
[Reply to host: The Lackey's Heart Sutra can convert the emotional value you provide to the villain target into Loyalty points]
[So regardless of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, as long as it's not an emotion the villain target dislikes, it can all be converted to Loyalty points!]
???
Hearing this, Qin Luo slowly raised several question marks.
Wait, does this mean that not only can I gain Loyalty points by being loyal,
I can even gain Loyalty points through other methods!
Su Muwan's emotional value = Loyalty points?
Then the question is.
Qin Luo pondered internally.
First, Loyalty points equal [speed-running] the tasks Su Muwan assigns. Completing Su Muwan's tasks can earn a series of rewards, and the rewards can improve Qin Luo's own strength.
So that means.
Loyalty points = rewards = becoming stronger
To summarize further:
Providing emotional value to Su Muwan = becoming stronger myself
Whew!
This is a quick shortcut!
Qin Luo felt as if he had suddenly seen the light, immediately realizing how to quickly become stronger.
On Su Muwan's side, the blush on her face gradually faded.
But her heart was still not completely calm.
Damn it, Qin Luo actually found out her biggest secret.
How annoying!
Hopefully, this bastard really forgets about it, otherwise...
I might have to consider trying out some physical memory erasure methods.
In the driver's seat.
Zhu Lan was very curious internally.
Curious about what Qin Luo had calculated earlier that caused such a huge change in her young miss's emotions.
However, this guy really did have some skills, he was indeed talented.
But...
There were some flaws in his previous words. After all, were there really people in this world who would willingly become Su Muwan's lackey purely because of the good deeds done by the Su family?
Just as she thought of this.
"Miss, actually, there's another reason why I chose to become your follower," Qin Luo said, his eyes fixed intently on Su Muwan, his voice sounding extremely serious.
Su Muwan felt a bit uncomfortable under his burning gaze. She hesitantly asked, "What other reason?"
"Actually..."
Qin Luo took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I chose to become Miss's number one follower also because I was captivated by your charm!"
Su Muwan's heart skipped a beat: "!!"
"Your face is like that of a fairy in a painting. Every night, when I close my eyes, yours is the only face I see."
"Wait..."
"Your hands, as white as jade..."
Hey hey hey hey!!
Zhu Lan's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Qin Luo through the rearview mirror.
Wait! What are you trying to do? Are you also trying to betray your master?!
Qin Luo continued his passionate description, his voice full of sincerity and reverence: "Every time my hand touches yours, Miss, I feel an indescribable warmth and sense of security."
Thump! Thump!
Su Muwan had never heard such mushy words in her previous life.
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't quite describe the feelings in her heart.
She looked at Qin Luo's loyal expression.
He... shouldn't have that kind of intention, right?
"Your smile, like the warm sun of spring, can dispel all the gloom in my heart."
Ah ah ah ah, I'm not that good!
In my previous life, I antagonized more than a dozen protagonists and did all sorts of evil things. I'm just a big villain! Although I've reformed now.
Su Muwan's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. She lowered her head slightly, seemingly trying to hide her shyness.
Her heart was racing, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond to Qin Luo's loyal affection.
Seeing this, Qin Luo gently placed his hand over his chest and said softly, "Miss."
Su Muwan quickly raised her head, sitting up straight and nervously looking at the serious-faced Qin Luo.
She saw him covering his chest, speaking with great emotion: "Miss, I know my words might surprise you, but every sentence, every word, even every syllable I've said comes from the bottom of my heart. I'm willing to be your follower, not just because of your status and position, but because you are so beautiful, kind, strong, and brave."
"Being able to become your follower..."
"Is truly wonderful."
Ah ah... don't say anymore... don't say anymore...
Su Muwan's inner self couldn't stop smiling. It was the first time anyone had praised her like this.
Her whole being felt as if it was floating on cloud nine.
Hehe... don't say anymore, or I'll burst out laughing.
On the surface, she gave Qin Luo a meaningful smile.
She reached out her finger, gently lifting Qin Luo's chin, leaning forward with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Interesting."
"Qin Luo, your words have truly moved this young miss."
"Have you... said these words to many others before?"
[Loyalty +1]
[Loyalty +1]
[Loyalty +1]
[...]
Hearing the system prompts in his mind,
Qin Luo boldly reached out and grasped Su Muwan's wrist as she teased his chin, gently holding it in his palm.
He earnestly embraced the pillow and vowed, "I swear, I've only ever said these words to you, Young Miss."
[Loyalty +5]
[Loyalty +5]
[...]
Su Muwan's inner thoughts: o(≧▽≦)o So satisfying! Qin Luo truly understands me!
Qin Luo's inner thoughts: Hehehe, gaining loyalty points is way too easy. These villains really do love being flattered!
Zhu Lan's inner thoughts: Ahhh, how did the relationship between the Young Miss and this newcomer heat up so quickly.....
