After a simple bit of bickering, the two returned to bed.
Ye Qiu transformed into venom, coating the peak and quickly spreading, tightly enveloping Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body.
The black, purple-patterned leather outfit accentuated her curves perfectly.
And so, they remained like that until dawn.
At daybreak, as purple clouds spilled across the horizon, Tang San was still up early watching the sunrise.
Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing, having spent the night together, were already finished.
At this moment, the two sat on the bed.
Ye Qiu was "interviewing" Zhu Zhuqing, conducting a post-activity summary.
"By the way… how do you feel training with me? Is your speed improving?"
"Very good, very fast," Zhu Zhuqing replied coldly.
She looked at Ye Qiu lying on her bed.
Her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, yet she did not push him away. Compared to her gains, these little things were insignificant.
After all, last night had truly felt amazing.
Ye Qiu had given her an experience very different from the usual.
Pleasurable… comfortable.
Zhu Zhuqing parted her lips slightly and added:"After training for a few more nights, I should be able to break through to level twenty-eight."
"Is that so?"
Ye Qiu sat up and smiled at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Do you remember when I said I wanted to make you the next Xiao Wu?"
"Mm, I remember."
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, nodding faintly. She looked at Ye Qiu, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Even when Ye Qiu put his arm around her shoulder, holding her close, she did not resist.
Ye Qiu smiled at her and assured:"I'll make it happen. Once you take the immortal herb, your cultivation and potential will increase significantly."
Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned, saying nothing, only staring at Ye Qiu.
She knew how precious the immortal herb Ye Qiu mentioned was—something that should only exist in the heavens, not in the mortal realm.
"What's the matter? I'm not lying,"
Ye Qiu patted her shoulder. As the light shimmered, the two of them shared a tacit understanding.
Zhu Zhuqing had no doubts.
The contract had been established.
Ye Qiu helping her was only natural.
But… why?Why did Ye Qiu choose her?
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer suppress her curiosity. She pushed Ye Qiu's hand away, looking at him seriously.
Her red lips parted.
"Ye Qiu… why did you choose me?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to dwell on such a question.
For most people, facing such an opportunity, shouldn't they just accept it gladly?
Perhaps… this was just her personality?
Ye Qiu shrugged helplessly.
"Is it that important?"
"To me… it really is!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was earnest.
She knew her situation: her innate soul power was only level seven, making her a burden in front of Ye Qiu, unable to keep up with his pace.
Moreover, she still carried a broken engagement.
In the vast soul master world, Ye Qiu could easily have sought women with better talent and background—like Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, or Dugu Yan.
Ye Qiu lowered his head helplessly, rubbing his forehead and pinching the bridge of his nose.
Girls' thoughts… really hard to guess!
Zhu Zhuqing clutched the blanket beneath her, impatient for an answer. She was about to ask again when Ye Qiu, who had been bowing his head, suddenly sprang up.
"Ah! Uh!"
In Zhu Zhuqing's startled cry, Ye Qiu wrapped his arms around her slim waist and kissed her red lips.
"Uh! Y-you let go!"
Zhu Zhuqing struggled violently, pushing Ye Qiu away, who then fell onto the bed.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly wiped her lips, her face burning red, embarrassed and indignant. That was her first kiss!
Her voice was sharp:
"What are you doing?!"
"Not satisfied with my answer?"
Ye Qiu pursed his lips, savoring the faint scent of jasmine, smiling at Zhu Zhuqing. His hands were clasped behind his head, face showing contentment.
Zhu Zhuqing paused, a twitch at the corner of her eye, teeth gritted, and disdainfully said:"Your reason… is that?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
"Not good enough? Just now you should have felt my sincerity~"
Ye Qiu pursed his lips, touching the corner of his mouth.
When he kissed Zhu Zhuqing, it was with 100% genuine intent.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent.
Blushing, pouting slightly, she glanced at Ye Qiu with a look of disdain.
"Hah, so your love is really cheap! Just so easily obtained!"
Ye Qiu raised his hand to his chin, eyeing Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure. He met her gaze, smiling, nodding in agreement.
"Mm, it is cheap, but it's genuine."
"!!!"
The sincere, passionate gaze made Zhu Zhuqing's heart tighten, her face reddening, pulse racing.
She hurriedly looked away.
During this time, every time he had possessed her, she knew exactly what he had focused on.
Her expression was somewhat speechless.
"Just for this two taels of rotten meat? Worth it?"
"Pfft, you're too modest."
Zhu Zhuqing's words made Ye Qiu laugh, rising quickly to poke the softness again playfully:"You're not just two taels! You're also future food for me and our child."
"Y-you go to hell!"
Zhu Zhuqing jumped up, face red, swinging a slap toward Ye Qiu's handsome face.
Luckily, Ye Qiu was alert and twisted his body to dodge.
"Haha."
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, stretching, turning to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile and admiration in his eyes.
"Honestly… why belittle yourself? Other women, for the immortal herb, might be willing to make a physical bargain with me—108 positions without repetition."
"But you are different. Besides your looks and figure, you have personality."
Ye Qiu smiled, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and cleared his throat.
He glanced back at Zhu Zhuqing, eyes full of appreciation.
Cheerfully: "This version of you is undoubtedly more worthy of being liked and trusted, isn't it?"
Ye Qiu looked at her seriously.
What he said was no lie.
For a woman who only latched onto him, draining his energy, no matter how beautiful, he had no interest.
Zhu Zhuqing was different.
Beautiful, ambitious, daring, determined, and persistent—just lacking some talent.
And luckily…
The immortal herb could perfectly make up for this.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing's path to godhood had already been verified. As an investor, he didn't need to look for other uncertain candidates.
After hearing Ye Qiu, all of Zhu Zhuqing's previous embarrassment and anger vanished.
She stared at Ye Qiu blankly, her face warm, heart racing.
Did Ye Qiu truly think this way? Zhu Zhuqing didn't know, but she could not deny she was a little moved.
Abandoned by family from a young age, then discarded by Dai Mubai, she had never been so resolutely chosen by anyone.
The feeling was strange, or perhaps… wonderful.
Even with her heart surging, Zhu Zhuqing maintained some clarity.
Blushing, she shyly glanced at Ye Qiu.
"Even if what you say is true…
…but if I didn't have this body, you might not have chosen me, right?"
"Maybe."
Ye Qiu shrugged, not denying it.
After all, appearance is an added bonus. Even if not necessary, it still allows him to make the move.
Wrapping himself around an ugly person… only with a knife to his neck would he comply.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent.
For some reason, she felt relieved.
She understood Ye Qiu: humans are visual animals. Had Ye Qiu been too sloppy-looking, their story might have ended the first time he contacted her.
