I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

Glug...

The sound of Baili Mingyue swallowing was unusually clear in the quiet environment. She stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Lu Yang rationally chose to skip the topic.

He always felt that the real reason for discussing pets might be a bit mind-blowing to him.

Lu Yang rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then smiled and said, "It's like this, Uncle-Master Baili, you are a disciple of Senior Baili Qiushui, so you must have achieved quite a bit in the art of array formations. I need you to help me set up a mountain-protecting array."

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue felt a surge of nervousness. She waved her hand in a somewhat panicked manner and said, "I... my array skills are very average, far inferior to Master's! With Young Master Lu's discerning eye, I imagine you wouldn't think much of my array skills."

Are you kidding me?

A person of Lu Gongzi's status and background must have seen some very profound array formations, just like the exquisite array formations on flying magic treasures. The array formations set up by a useless array cultivator like her will probably only make Lu Gongzi despise her even more!

When Lu Yang saw that Baili Mingyue almost instinctively refuted him and then belittled herself, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Then his expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "Since I've made my decision, you just need to do as I say."

Baili Mingyue trembled instantly, instinctively standing even straighter, head bowed, stammering, "Yes, yes, Young Master Lu! As you command!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle. He realized that he had now barely mastered the skills of talking to Baili Mingyue. He could be more assertive and give orders directly. In that case, this seemingly socially awkward and strange Uncle Baili could get things done directly.

Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction, then reassured him, "Of course, I'm not asking Uncle Baili to do this for free. As long as I don't leave the house, Uncle Baili can go to the summit of my mountain at any time to study the array patterns on the Nine-Flower Cloud Chariot. If your sect-protecting array satisfies me, I can also give Uncle Baili a few array-related magic treasures, all of which are top-grade magic treasures."

The Eight Gates Spirit Locking Mirror and the Heavenly Evolution Seven Star Array Robe that Lu Yang obtained from Baili Mingyue's favorability rewards were both top-grade magic treasures. Since he hadn't seen Baili Mingyue much before, he naturally gave these two array magic treasures to Baili Mingyue. He took this opportunity to present these two top-grade magic treasures to Baili Mingyue.

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue immediately waved her hand and said, "Being able to help Young Master Lu is a blessing I've accumulated over three lifetimes. I don't need any magic treasures as a reward; I just hope Young Master Lu won't mind!"

Lu Yang's expression hardened again, and he said coldly, "I said I'd give it to you, so you'll take it! Why all the nonsense?"

Baili Mingyue immediately stood up straight: "Yes...yes, Master...Young Master Lu!"

Lu Yang: "?"

Wait... you just said "master"?

What does that mean?

Could it be the owner?!

Lu Yang looked at Baili Mingyue with a rather strange expression; this was simply the most outrageous genius cultivator Lu Yang had ever seen.

Baili Mingyue seemed to be embarrassed as well. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lu Yang even once.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yang coughed and said, "The mountain-protecting formation will need Uncle Baili's help in a few days. Before that, I'd like to confirm Uncle Baili's schedule. When is he available?"

Baili Mingyue immediately replied, "I'm available anytime, Young Master Lu!"

Lu Yang had already guessed that Baili Mingyue would say this before he even spoke, and he nodded silently: "Then I will come to see Uncle Baili again in a few days."

Baili Mingyue nodded and knelt down once more: "Respectfully seeing off Young Master Lu!"

Lu Yang: "..."

He was exasperated, his face stern, and said, "If you kneel before me again next time, I'll hang you up and beat you. Get up now."

Baili Mingyue suddenly jumped up as if she had a spring attached to her.

Lu Yang exhaled a breath of stale air, which transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared.

Only after the rainbow light disappeared did Baili Mingyue tremble and peek up at the sky.

Seeing that there was no one in the sky, Baili Mingyue quickly took out the array plate and reactivated the mountain-protecting array. Layers of thick fog covered the mountain where Su Jinxuan was located.

After doing all this, Baili Mingyue felt a sense of security. Then, she savored the conversation she had just had with Lu Yang.

Her face flushed red, and after covering her pretty cheeks with her hands, she let out a giggle: "Hiss... my memories have been updated! I saw so many different expressions from Young Master Lu today, it's great, now I have new fantasy scenarios to imagine!"

Then, Baili Mingyue recalled the image of Lu Yang scolding her with a stern face, and a blush immediately rose to her cheeks. She murmured to herself, "If only Young Master Lu could take her in as a pet..."

Unfortunately... Baili Mingyue felt that she was quite self-aware and did not deserve to be Young Master Lu's pet.

She sighed and returned to her room, somewhat lost and dejected. Then, immersing herself in a stimulating fantasy, she focused on the images of Young Master Lu that she had just acquired.

…………

After leaving Su Jinxuan's mountain peak, Lu Yang glanced at the slowly closing mist and felt as if he had encountered a monster. He still felt a little uneasy.

In fact, Lu Yang thought he was pretty abnormal, but he never expected that there was someone even more abnormal than him, terrifyingly so!

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and returned to Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying's cave.

As soon as Lu Yang entered the living room, he saw Mu Yunxue dressed and sitting quietly on a chair in the hall, seemingly lost in thought.

She wore a plain white dress, her black hair tied up with a white ribbon, and her beautiful face had a natural indifference, but her snow-white skin still had a trace of the blush left from yesterday.

Noticing the footsteps, Mu Yunxue seemed to snap out of her daze and looked over.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, a ripple appeared in Mu Yunxue's usually calm and composed eyes, and she nodded gently: "Lu Yang."

Lu Yang came to Mu Yunxue's side, picked her up, and placed her on his lap, letting her sit in his arms. The fresh and elegant fragrance immediately enveloped him.

Throughout the entire process, Mu Yunxue's expression remained aloof and indifferent, unchanged, just like a puppet.

Lu Yang affectionately stroked Mu Yunxue's smooth, pretty face and said gently, "Why don't you rest a little longer?"

Mu Yunxue calmly explained, "My physique and cultivation are stronger than Nan Yue's, so I recover faster."

Lu Yang could also tell that Mu Yunxue was actually a little tired, but she forced herself to get up, which seemed quite different from Mu Yunxue's usual personality.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me? Or is something on your mind?"

Mu Yunxue nodded, her tone calm and without much fluctuation, and said, "You are going to the Qin family with Nan Yue."

Lu Yang suddenly realized that Qin Nanyue had mentioned this to Mu Yunxue yesterday, not during their dual cultivation, but during his own dual cultivation with Yingying.

He chuckled and said, "I will take you back to the Mu family, I just haven't told you yet."

Mu Yunxue nodded gently: "Okay."

Lu Yang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Mu Yunxue had forced herself to get up and wait for Lu Yang in the living room for this very reason.

Unexpectedly, even a cold and aloof female cultivator like Mu Yunxue would care about this matter.

This made Lu Yang feel that Mu Yunxue had become more humane and quite adorable.
