“Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you?” Ye Qiu smiled meaningfully. Lian Feng was stunned for a moment. She looked up into Ye Qiu’s eyes and pursed her lips.
“Why is this guy’s expression so evil?” Lianfeng was confused. Just like how the hungry wolf’s eyes lit up when it discovered a lone lamb.
Lian Feng licked her lips and swallowed her saliva. She was a little afraid. On second thought, there didn’t seem to be a problem. He was such a sunny and handsome man. He should not be a bad person.
Yes, definitely not.
Lian Feng shook her head and said seriously, “Alright, if you have time, let’s… communicate in depth another day.”
Ye Qiu suddenly felt guilty as he looked at her sincere gaze and serious expression. This feeling was like coaxing an underage girl. It was too torturous.
“Eh…” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but shiver.
Lian Feng did not notice his abnormality. She played with the twelve Storm Pear Blossom Needles for a while, and the more she played, the more she liked them. She couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, do these needles have names?”
“Storm Pear Blossom Needle.”
Lian Feng’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “This name… is really nice.”
It was as green as jade, translucent, and extremely beautiful. When it was used, it was like a storm that instantly took people’s lives. Only such a special name was worthy of it. After saying that, she reluctantly returned it to Ye Qiu.
“How good would it be if I had such an exquisite and powerful Dharma artifact…” Lian Feng’s eyes were filled with envy as she said this.
She had many Dharma artifacts in her hands, but the highest grade was the Four Symbols Cauldron that she had fought with Gongsun Yang for. It was a Martial Monarch realm Dharma artifact, and its power was above supreme-grade spirit artifacts.
However, compared to Ye Qiu’s Connate numinous treasure, it was a little insignificant. She observed very carefully. Currently, Ye Qiu has many supreme-grade spirit treasures. The most terrifying one was that immortal sword. As well as the Qiankun Cauldron and the Storm Pear Blossom Needles.
She couldn’t figure it out. Ye Qiu was clearly younger than her, and he came from the Eastern Wasteland. How could there be so many Dharma artifacts in that vast and remote place? The more she thought about it, the more she found it unbelievable. She looked up at the handsome man in front of her and could not understand.
Lian Feng looked at Ye Qiu and her heart suddenly trembled. Her heart beat faster and her face suddenly turned red.
“Damn it, that bewitching technique again.” She turned around proudly and didn’t dare to look at the other party anymore. She silently comforted herself.
Ye Qiu suddenly said, “Junior Sister, if you like, I can give you a few Storm Pear Blossom Needles.”
Lian Feng was shocked and touched.
This guy is giving me another gift? Why did he give me another gift? Could it be that he likes me? Thinking of this, Lian Feng blushed and quickly denied it.
How could Ye Qiu like her? They had just met and didn’t know each other well. She must be overthinking.
Pursing her lips, Lian Feng refused and said proudly, “No.”
Although she liked it, she did not like to owe others. They were not familiar with each other. Although they called each other senior and junior, the two of them were in two completely different worlds.
Their orthodoxy had been divided for many years and had been passed down until today. Their relationship had long faded. Furthermore, they were not Dao companions or master and disciple. Why should she accept Ye Qiu’s gift? He didn’t owe her anything.
“Why not?” Ye Qiu said in amusement. She clearly looked like she couldn’t bear to part with it, so why did she not want it?
Women had complicated thoughts.
This Storm Pear Blossom Needle actually didn’t have much effect on Ye Qiu. Moreover, there were twelve Storm Pear Blossom Needles, each of which was a Connate numinous treasure. Even if there was only one, it could still unleash a powerful effect.
Therefore, wouldn’t it be a pity if they weren’t used to picking up girls since there were so many of these things?
Lian Feng pursed her lips and hesitated. She really liked it. If she had this Storm Pear Blossom Needle, she would have the strength to fight even against an expert like Daoist Xuanyuan in the future. However… she didn’t owe Ye Qiu anything, so how could she accept his gift?
“Yeah…” After thinking seriously for a moment, Lian Feng shook her head and said dejectedly, “I hate owing others the most. We’re not Dao companions, nor are we master and disciple. How can I accept another gift from you?”
Ye Qiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“Oh, so that’s your concern…” Ye Qiu thought about it seriously. Looking at Lian Feng’s sincere gaze, he suddenly smiled and said, “Dao companion? Hmm… we can be one too.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Lian Feng suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Qiu’s gentle gaze. Her heart was pounding and she felt overjoyed.
Is he… confessing to me? Does he really like me? Ah… what should I do? What should I do? I feel like I’ve been electrocuted. My heart is melting and my entire body is weak. How could this be?
She couldn’t help but ask herself why she felt happy when she heard Ye Qiu say this. Could it be that she really liked him? Wasn’t this a bewitching technique?
The most straightforward feeling in her heart seemed to keep telling her, but she repeatedly denied it.
Impossible. How can I like someone I’ve just met? Could this be the legendary love at first sight? Lian Feng shook her head in denial. Anyone who said such things would definitely be lust at first sight. He craved her body.
Damn it, I really want to refuse, but why can’t I say it? Ah… damn it. Lian Feng was about to cry. She clearly wanted to refuse, but it was as if there was a voice in her heart that kept persuading her to agree to him.
After struggling for a long time, Lian Feng looked up at Ye Qiu and was stunned. After a long time, she said, “This… isn’t good. We’ve only just met. I heard from Senior Brother Sect Master that all Dao companions in the world have a process of getting to know each other, interacting with each other, and a sweet love process. After experiencing these processes, we can officially confirm our relationship, cultivate together, and advance and retreat together.”
Lian Feng explained in all seriousness. This knowledge was taught to her by her senior brother, Qi Daosheng. Her knowledge in this aspect was nothing. In any case, the Sect Master would not harm her. Everything he said was right.
Ye Qiu was delighted when he heard this. This girl… really didn’t know anything. Yes, she was easy to trick. This round should be stable.
See how I fool her.
Ye Qiu pretended to be deep in thought and continued, “Yes, what you said makes sense. It’s indeed a little inappropriate to decide so rashly.”
Lian Feng was delighted when she heard this. She was very satisfied with Ye Qiu’s words. It seemed that he was not a lecherous person. He was not coveting her body, but he really wanted to date her. She had not misjudged him. This senior brother… was a person worth knowing.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu said again, “How about this? We can be temporary Dao companions and get to know each other better and date each other. If Junior Sister is satisfied, we can directly become an official disciple.”
“What is a temporary Dao companion?” Lian Feng was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such a thing.
“They’re just Dao companions in name. Their relationship is closer than ordinary friends. They can understand each other deeply and complete the process you mentioned just now. During this period, we did not have to fulfill any of the duties between Dao companions. Furthermore, if I do anything wrong during this period and make Junior Sister feel that it’s not suitable, we can terminate our relationship at any time.”
Ye Qiu smiled meaningfully.
Lian Feng carefully thought about it and felt that it was… worth it. She could roughly hear that the so-called temporary Dao companion was a mental barrier between the two of them.
Once it was confirmed, they could break through this barrier and get along as Dao companions. It was different from ordinary fellow disciples. They were more intimate, but they couldn’t cross the line and do anything overboard.
Lian Feng’s heart trembled when she looked up at Ye Qiu’s gentle gaze and his handsome and sunny smile.
“Okay…” She gritted her teeth and agreed to this.
If it wasn’t suitable, she would terminate the relationship then. In any case, she wouldn’t lose anything. Furthermore, the most straightforward feeling in her heart had already told her that she had a very good impression of this man and liked him very much.
Although she had repeatedly resisted, she could not deny this. She would try first. I’ll just give it a try…
Seeing that she finally agreed, Ye Qiu was delighted.
That easy? Didn’t that mean that he would have a girlfriend in the future? Although Ye Qiu was happy, he didn’t dare to do anything overboard. Their current relationship was only temporary. They would talk about it when they became official.
After confirming their temporary relationship, Ye Qiu took out six Storm Pear Blossom Needles and said, “Junior Sister, take these six needles as my love token to you. Now, you won’t reject me again, right?”
Lian Feng’s heart trembled as she stared blankly at the six needles Ye Qiu handed over. She immediately understood why Ye Qiu suddenly mentioned the idea of a temporary Dao companion. It turned out that he wanted to give her a gift. She couldn’t help but feel touched. This guy… was quite considerate.
Afraid that she would not agree, he deliberately brought up the idea of a temporary Dao companion. So she would not have any psychological burden or change her principles if she accepted the gift openly. Such a perfect man. Gentle, handsome, and very considerate.
Ah…
Pursing her lips, Lian Feng stared blankly into Ye Qiu’s eyes, feeling very happy.
So this is what the Sect Master meant by sweet love? Yes, it’s indeed a little sweet and warm. Lian Feng thought to herself. She was very happy. She had never felt this way before. She was suddenly filled with anticipation for the future.
Lian Feng revealed a rare smile. At that moment, Ye Qiu was stunned. She was too beautiful. Her smile was enough to topple a city and embellished the starry sky. His heart melted by it.
“Thank you…” Lian Feng said coldly and accepted the gift. She felt that her tone was a little wrong. They were Dao companions now. Wasn’t saying thank you a little too distant? She quickly added, “Alright…”
She took out another jade pendant and handed it to Ye Qiu, saying, “I don’t have any good treasures. I’ll give you this spirit jade made from the Heaven Mending Stone’s fragment. Although this jade pendant isn’t a Connate numinous treasure, it’s still a rare spirit jade. Wearing it can nourish one’s mind and help one cultivate.”
Lian Feng looked at Ye Qiu seriously, hoping that he would accept the gift.
This jade pendant had accompanied her for many years and had always been on her. Although it was not as precious as the Storm Pear Blossom Needles, it was still a token of her sincerity and her feelings for Ye Qiu.
The Sect Master had told her before that between a man and a woman, giving each other gifts could promote their relationship.
Therefore, Ye Qiu gave her a gift and she returned it.
Ye Qiu took the jade pendant with a smile and examined it for a while. “Yes, I like this gift very much…”
Ye Qiu gently hung the jade pendant on his waist without hiding anything. He was just short of loudly telling others, “Did you see that? This is a gift from my girlfriend. Do you have it? Oh right, you don’t have a girlfriend.”
Lian Feng smiled in her heart upon hearing Ye Qiu say that he liked this gift. It was as if she was bathing in the spring breeze, as if peach blossoms were blooming within ten miles, making people unable to help but be immersed in it.
[Ding…]
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully unlocked the Love Affinity System.]
[Love Bond: Ye Qiu— Lian Feng. (Temporary Relationship)]
[Host, please work hard and strive to change this relationship to a real one as soon as possible. If you succeed, you can obtain a chance to draw a god-grade random draw.]
Suddenly, the system said this, stunning Ye Qiu.
“Love Affinity System? What is this…”
Ye Qiu was shocked. He didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected gain. However, what was the specific use of this so-called Love Affinity System? Could it be that there was only one god-grade random draw?
Soon, the system answered Ye Qiu’s doubts.
[The Love Affinity System is an upgrade based on the master-disciple system.]
[After successful conversion to a real relationship, you will receive a critical hit return. The upper limit will be increased, and the maximum return will be 100,000 fold.]
“Damn, a hundred thousand fold!”
Ye Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air. Ten thousand fold was already so terrifying. Wouldn’t he take off on the spot if it was a hundred thousand fold?
So this was the main point.
Good things were left for last.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was extremely happy, as if he had won a big prize. He had made a killing this time.
A hundred thousand fold. If this was triggered, Ye Qiu would be able to take off on the spot if he got ten thousand years of cultivation.
This was incredible. Incredible.
Of course, 100,000 fold was only the upper limit. Whether it could be triggered depended on luck.
But none of that mattered.
The most important thing now was to become official as soon as possible and activate the 100,000-fold return as soon as possible. At that time, he would directly take off.
Ye Qiu probably had a perfect plan in his heart.
The Goddess Attack Plan had just begun.
With this pick-up system, no… it was the return system. Ye Qiu was very confident that they could become official in the shortest time possible. Picking up girls was so simple. It was nothing more than sending gifts, then she would be touched to death.
In addition, he had to pay attention to a small detail. And it was the impact of her mind and body which will make her completely fall for him.
This is a stable route…
After playing with the Storm Pear Blossom Needles in her hand for a while, Lian Feng carefully put it away.
With this Connate numinous treasure, her combat strength had increased once again. If she encountered an opponent like Gongsun Yang again, she would only need an instant to determine the outcome. She might even be able to defeat the old Daoist Xuanyuan just now.
One had to know that this was a Connate numinous treasure, an existence comparable to an immortal artifact. If she couldn’t even kill a Paragon cultivator, then it wouldn’t be a connate numinous treasure.
She was very happy. Today might be the happiest day of Lian Feng’s life. Not only did she obtain a Connate numinous treasure, but she also obtained a temporary boyfriend who treated her so well.
Lian Feng didn’t doubt Ye Qiu’s feelings for her at all since he was willing to give her such a rare treasure. Who could take out such a treasure to give away?
In short, she was very happy.
She stared blankly at Ye Qiu, only to see him looking at the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow in the distance and the shocked crowd.
Previously, Ye Qiu had used the Storm Pear Blossom Needle to instantly kill Daoist Xuanyuan. Everyone had yet to recover from their shock.
After an unknown period of time, everyone finally recovered. They had shocked expressions as they looked at the old Daoist Xuanyuan who had already turned into a bloody mist.
“Unbelievable. Daoist Xuanyuan’s Supreme Body was actually unable to withstand those few tiny needles. He was instantly blasted into pieces and his soul dissipated.”
“From today onwards, the Heaven Mending Sect and Ye Qiu’s name will probably resound throughout the world.”
Everyone looked at Ye Qiu with lingering fear.
They were very glad that they didn’t act rashly just now. If the person who angered Ye Qiu wasn’t Daoist Xuanyuan but them, then they might not be able to last until Ye Qiu used the Storm Pear Blossom Needles.
Someone noticed that Ye Qiu seemed to have given Lian Feng a few Storm Pear Blossom Needles and said enviously.
“This guy is really willing to give away such a rare treasure.”
“I’m so jealous! I only hate that I’m not a girl. Otherwise, I could do it too.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted everyone’s disdain. They were also very shocked. Ye Qiu actually gave Lian Feng six Storm Pear Blossom Needles. How generous was this? How rich are you to use such a thing to pick up girls? Can you give me two as well? I’ll give you my granddaughter to be your mistress.
After a long time, an old man walked out from the crowd.
“Haha, Fellow Daoist, I’m Yun Shengzi from the Northern Wilderness, the Divine Capital. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you…” Yun Shengzi immediately walked out and tried to get close to him.
Ye Qiu glanced at him and smiled. “Fellow Daoist Yun Shengzi, nice to meet you…”
Yun Shengzi stroked his goatee and continued, “Just now, Fellow Daoist used just twelve needles to eliminate the number one scourge in the Mystic Domain. It truly stunned everyone present. Fellow Daoist’s cultivation is unfathomable. I’m filled with admiration.”
“Haha, you flatter me. How can my insignificant cultivation be compared to you?” Ye Qiu said humbly. He wasn’t arrogant at all, causing everyone to praise him.
Even Lian Feng admired Ye Qiu’s humility. He was clearly so powerful, yet he wasn’t proud at all. This state of mind was truly rare.
A trace of surprise flashed across Yun Shengzi’s eyes. He looked deeply at Ye Qiu and then at Lian Feng. These two people were from the Heaven Mending Sect, and they were both peerless geniuses. From the looks of it, the Heaven Mending Sect’s luck was at its peak. It was probably going to rise completely.
Sigh…
He sighed in his heart. Why couldn’t their orthodoxy produce such a person?
