At the basement level of the Moon Bazaar, there were two people looking at each other, unable to utter a single sound.
They had sex numerous times, but as of this moment, Jiang Ming was completely speechless as he glanced at the secret passage that Yang Liqin took to enter the basement level.
Yang Liqin bit her lips slightly. She didn't expect such a blunder could occur.
"A-Aunt, why did you take some secret passage to enter here?" Finally, Jiang Ming broke the silence as he could no longer endure it.
Hearing that question, Yang Liqin breathed out a soft sigh as she unleashed a wave of powerful spiritual qi. The spiritual qi quickly shrouded the basement level and seemed to have created a complete lockdown. No one was allowed to leave or enter the basement level anymore with her spiritual qi.
Of course, Jiang Ming remained carefree as he knew Yang Liqin wouldn't harm him and was merely doing this as a security measure.
"Follow me, Jiang Ming." Yang Liqin said gently and proceeded to walk forward.
Jiang Ming didn't say anything and followed behind her quietly. Occasionally, he would be thinking about what she could be hiding here.
And what surprised him the most was that the GLCS 2.0 doesn't seem to be able to create a map of his current location. The only time that it had happened was when there was a different dimension around him.
Hence, Jiang Ming was once again shocked and awed by the prowess of Yang Liqin who seemed to be like a dark hole.
Sometime later, Yang Liqin brought him to a scenery that was akin to a laboratory. On the left side, there were multiple small tubes that seemed to be bubbling in some unknown substance.
There were also bookshelves on the right side and a large projection screen at the center. If Jiang Ming didn't know better, then he would have thought he arrived at some secret lair.
"Aunt, what is this place?" Jiang Ming asked in a confused tone.
"Did you really not suspect anything?" Yang Liqin paused her footstep as she turned around and looked at him. "I was thinking you would have known about this place already when you decided to hand me the management."
"Why would I know about it, aunt? I trust you wholeheartedly, so naturally, I wouldn't even bother to inspect what you're doing."
"Is that so..." For some reason, Yang Liqin felt a tinge of sweetness at the amount of trust she received. Despite being embraced by him multiple times, Yang Liqin thought that he was just trying to relieve his sexual frustration.
After all, it wasn't uncommon for powerful families to fuck each other to preserve their bloodline. She who came from the higher world was naturally immune to such disgusting and vile acts.
'Seems like I have been viewing Jiang Ming wrongly.' Yang Liqin thought, feeling bitter about her mindset that had been polluted.
She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jiang Ming, do you really love me? I'm not just some woman for you to release your sexual frustration, right?"
When Jiang Ming heard that, he was on the verge of spanking her butt for speaking nonsense.
He responded by hugging her waist and said solemnly, "Of course, I love you wholeheartedly. Never once did I look at you like some woman for sex only."
And he continued, "I was merely surprised by your secret lair, but I'm not mad at all. If I had to describe my current emotions, then it would be a disappointment. After all, you didn't trust me enough to tell me what you are trying to do and refuse to let me help you out."
"Then aunt shall apologize to you when we return home, okay?" Yang Liqin whispered sweetly and winked at him. Her meaning was clear to him to know what she meant.
He could feel his crotch trying to turn hard by the warm embrace of Yang Liqin, but he suppressed his desire for now.
"Anyway, you mind telling me what you're planning to do now?" He asked calmly.
Yang Liqin nodded her head.
She wanted to pull away from him to begin her explanation, but Jiang Ming held on to her tightly. He even retrieved a chair from his inventory to sit and place Yang Liqin on his lap.
Although the position was a bit ambiguous, Yang Liqin didn't mind and moved her butt around to find a more comfortable spot on his thigh.
After that, she opened her mouth and began explaining, "Ever since you were in a near-death situation, I could no longer endure it and decided to begin my vengeance early. Those tubes that you see on the left side are the poison that I've been trying to invent."
"Poison?"
"Yes, poison. I want to invent a type of poison that could kill even the most powerful cultivators." Yang Liqin said and revealed a fierce glint in her eyes.
It was the first time that Jiang Ming had witnessed such a fierce expression from Yang Liqin.
And when he thought about how she was originally injured by the Blood Curse, he could finally piece the mysteries together.
She was inventing a deadly poison for revenge and to prevent the poison from leaking out accidentally and harming the innocent, she had arranged for a basement level ground to be built.
Since only Yang Liqin knew how fearsome her enemies were, she didn't dare to allow Jiang Ming to be in the area.
At the end of the day, she was still trying to protect him and shield him from any danger, prompting Jiang Ming to hug her tighter.
"Aunt, why are you always shouldering all the responsibility to yourself?" Jiang Ming asked depressingly.
"I'm not just your nephew now, but also your lover. Shouldn't it be time for you to let me shoulder some of your burdens as well?"
"B-But I can't bear to see you being hurt."
"So you can bear to see me being in more pain because you refused to let me help?"
"T-That's not what I mean-"
"If that's not what you mean, then make sure to always inform me if you are trying to do something to exact vengeance." Jiang Ming said solemnly, pulling her closer to him so that their faces meet each other. He wanted her to see his crystal clear eyes that he was also determined to get revenge.
A few seconds later, Yang Liqin finally nodded her head and placed her hand on his chin. "Alright then, aunt will always inform you when I'm planning to do something. Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"
After that, she kissed him on the lips with her eyes closed. Jiang Ming naturally responded to such an act as he kissed her back passionately.
Though it wasn't for long considering how there was some powerful poison around the area.
Yang Liqin got off from his thigh as she walked toward a table and held one tube in her hand.
"I was informed that Yuan Chunhua had tried to meet with you again today in the Moon Bazaar, right?" She suddenly asked.
Jiang Ming nodded his head.
"That's right, I had sex with Bing Tong in the afternoon and Zhao Tong found out. Thus, I was told to sabotage a meeting between Chen Yanmu and the 6 powerful clans in the Haze Forest." He replied honestly.
Yang Liqin was shocked for a moment when she heard him talk about having sex with Bing Tong, but swiftly, she returned to her normal composure.
Since she was open-minded enough to tell Yuan Chunhua to become his lover, then naturally she didn't mind Jiang Ming having more lovers.
His nephew was now a confident and talented man, so how could she not be proud of him for having more lovers?
When men are powerful, it was only a given that they would have a lot of companions by their side. It was the same for women, except that most women would have a conservative mind and refused to embrace more than one man.
Thus, there weren't a lot of women having multiple men by their bed chambers.
"Hmm, so that means you are going to work with Yuan Chunhua again?" Yang Liqin enquired. She could easily obtain that information if she wanted to, but she respected Jiang Ming.
Hence, she preferred to listen to the details from Jiang Ming's mouth instead of some other people.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming shook his head, "No, I planned on working alone on this mission."
"Why?" Yang Liqin was alarmed as she quickly urged him not to be rash.
"Although I still have a bit of reserve against Yuan Chunhua, she should definitely go with you. The meeting is dangerous, so unless you bring her with you, then don't expect me to let you go alone." She added.
"It's exactly because the mission is dangerous that I don't want to drag Instructor Yuan Chunhua down with me. Since it would be dangerous, I don't want her to risk herself." Jiang Ming replied in a calm manner.
