Chapter 103: Playing with Fire: A Kiss and a Promise

Compared to before, Yin Kang Xuehan had changed greatly.

She used to be full of energy, always teasing and bickering with Qin Yangjun.

Maybe it was the double blow to her body and spirit.

But now, her entire aura was listless.

Qin Yangjun hadn’t known her long. His understanding of her was limited to the script.

Seeing the real person before him like this, strictly speaking, he bore some responsibility. If he hadn’t wanted her to know the truth, the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.

Perhaps out of a vague sense of guilt, Qin Yangjun wanted to comfort her, but he really didn’t know how to start.

After holding back for a long time, he only uttered three words.

“Uh… that’s good.”

Hearing this, Yin Kang Xuehan was slightly stunned.

To be honest, after everything that happened, she was no longer so afraid of the person in front of her. In fact, a hint of fondness had even arisen in her heart.

Of course, it was only fondness.

Now seeing Qin Yangjun so hesitant, it only stirred up her playful mood.

Then, as if she thought of something, Yin Kang Xuehan revealed a mischievous smile.

At that moment, Qin Yangjun was lowering his head to drink tea, not noticing her expression.

When he looked up, a fragrant breeze swept by, and a pair of cherry lips kissed him.

Before his eyes was Yin Kang Xuehan’s stunning face.

This startled him. He stepped back, stumbling and nearly falling.

However, the next second, the Yin Kang Xuehan in front of him suddenly turned into mist and dissipated.

Meanwhile, Yin Kang Xuehan was sitting in her original spot, laughing heartily.

The snowy white at her chest swayed before his eyes.

“Haha, I never expected our Master Qin to be scared by something like this. Don’t tell me you’re still a virgin?”

Her laughter made him realize he had been tricked. A surge of inexplicable anger flared up. He glared at her.

“And you’re not?”

This made her face stiffen, but then she said matter-of-factly, “So what if I am?!”

“Then let’s not throw stones!”

Qin Yangjun sat down and took a sip of tea. This fox really couldn’t be let her guard down.

On the other side, Yin Kang Xuehan seemed to have another idea.

She propped her chin and looked at him with a beaming smile.

“You’re the first man to kiss me. How did it feel?”

This question almost made him choke.

“A fake one counts?”

She smiled even more brightly, placing one hand under her chest and pointing her slender jade-like finger at her lips.

“Then… do you want a real try? If it’s you, it’s not impossible.”

Her expression and posture were full of allure, as if she was seducing him.

She truly lived up to being a vixen, knowing exactly how to stir a man’s heart.

And her appearance successfully affected him. He even subconsciously swallowed.

But then, the sly smile at the corner of her mouth made him calm down.

Damn! He had been played by her again!

Thinking this, a trace of anger surfaced in his heart. He wasn’t willing to suffer such a loss.

I’ll show you what a real man is!

Without another word, he walked directly up to her.

He grabbed her hand.

She was taken aback by his action.

Before she could react, he pulled her up and kissed her hard on the lips.

Her mind went blank. She hadn’t expected him to suddenly do this.

She instinctively struggled, but he held her tightly.

Unlike the brief kiss with Yu Lingyue before, he didn’t let go easily.

Only after hurried breaths did he release her.

For her, it felt as long as centuries.

After breaking free from his devilish hands, her cheeks were flushed, and she glared at him with a mix of shame and indignation.

“You… you…”

This time, he was the one who spoke confidently.

“You said it yourself just now. As a man, how could I refuse?”

“You, you, you… cough, cough…”

After stammering ‘you’ for a while, she couldn’t get out a coherent sentence.

Whether it was from extreme anger or not, she suddenly started coughing.

This startled him.

“Hey, hey, don’t scare me. I was wrong, I apologize. Don’t lie down again.”

He quickly walked over, grabbed her hand, and transferred spiritual energy to her.

Seeing him immediately back down like this, she was both annoyed and amused. She didn’t push his hand away.

As her breathing gradually steadied, this little farce came to an end.

He sighed in relief, then sat back as if nothing had happened, continuing to drink tea and eat pastries.

This guy! What’s wrong with him? He just took my first kiss, and now he’s acting like nothing happened?!

Does he often do things like this?!

Has Ling’er also?!

Dammit! Dammit!!!

She bit her lip lightly, glaring fiercely at the man before her.

She had never let any man touch her before, and now this man had taken her first kiss.

But then she recalled that she had indeed provoked him.

She was mad.

She hadn’t expected to be controlled by him after all.

This man in front of her really was her nemesis!

Her gaze was sharp, but he kept his head down and said nothing.

He had indeed been a bit impulsive just now.

But he didn’t regret it at all. If there was a next time, he would do it again.

He had to make this woman understand the price of playing with fire.

After a while, as if sensing that her anger was gradually subsiding, he suddenly spoke up.

“What are your plans from now on?”

Hearing this, she was momentarily stunned.

Then a look of confusion appeared on her face.

She let out a deep sigh.

“I don’t know. The physician said there is hope to heal my origin. I can gather most of the materials, but the main ingredient is something I’ve never even heard of. According to the physician, such a heavenly treasure might have already gone extinct.”

“What’s the name of that ingredient?”

“Heavenly Soul Nirvana Grass.”

“Mm… I’ll find a way.”

He put down his teacup and said softly.

This made a glimmer of light flash in her dim eyes.

“Do you know about it?”

He didn’t answer her.

Unfortunately, he had never heard of it either. The books didn’t mention anything like this.

But he didn’t want to extinguish this sliver of hope for her.

Moreover, the situation wasn’t actually that hopeless.

When he ascended to the upper realm, solving her problem would be simple. It’s just that she would be starting from behind by then.

But at least her path wouldn’t be cut off.

With that thought, he stood up.

“Anyway, stay in Yuqian Sect for now. Keep her company. I have things to do, so I’ll take my leave.”

He gave her a slight smile and pointed inside the door.

Then he turned and left directly.

Seeing that he didn’t directly answer her question and chose to leave instead, the light in her eyes dimmed.

The surroundings were silent as water, only a sigh echoing beside the pavilion.
