Chapter 561: Even if it is, I accept it!

"Are you saying those things on purpose, deliberately rejecting Qin Qin, just to please me?"

After everyone else had left, Xue Qinghe shook his head and smiled: "We were just discussing the base nature of men earlier; I don't believe you are truly unmoved by meat that is delivered to your door without you having to pay any price."

Splash...

Qin Jian suddenly reached out and grabbed her wet, slippery hand, saying with a smile: "What is the point of someone without feelings? Eating it is like chewing wax, tasteless; it is better to eat with a foundation of feelings, as it is fragrant and leaves a lingering aftertaste."

"You are holding my hand and saying this—what are you implying?"

Xue Qinghe raised her other hand and tucked the hair hanging over her cheek behind her shoulder.

The movement was very alluring...

"I am not implying, I am stating it clearly..."

Qin Jian stared straight at her face and said: "I just want to eat you..."

Xue Qinghe felt her cheeks starting to burn again...

"You can't eat me; didn't you already see my soul bone just now?" he said, feigning composure.

Qin Jian smiled and said meaningfully: "It only covers the parts that differ by gender; the other parts that are the same for men and women were not covered, and besides..."

He leaned in closer, almost pressing his wet body against Xue Qinghe's, and whispered in her ear: "Since you insist on acting as a man, then you should understand how one eats, right?"

Xue Qinghe was stunned, then shyly and angrily pushed him away: "Don't even think about it!"

Qin Jian did not give up; he reached out again to grab her hand, smiling brightly: "You always used to ask me to be with you; were you not prepared?"

"What?"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback, then understood his meaning. She glanced at him and said fiercely: "It should be you who submits, not me!"

"I submit?"

Qin Jian looked her up and down and laughed: "If you can manage it, then I have nothing to say."

Xue Qinghe: "..."

Splash!

Seeing that she did not speak, Qin Jian used the force of the water to move in front of her, stretched out his arms, and wrapped them around her slender waist.

"Mm..."

Taking a bite, it was just like eating jelly.

The skin Xue Qinghe had exposed was as white as frost and snow, smooth and delicate.

If this was still that one percent possibility, Qin Jian would accept it!

"Splash, splash..."

The two of them embraced and repeated on the surface of the water what they had done beneath it.

"Don't... not here..."

When Xue Qinghe rested her hands on the edge of the bath, with her back to Qin Jian, she suddenly felt very panicked.

"Then where do you want to be?"

A gentle voice sounded in her ear. Xue Qinghe's consciousness was hazy, and she only heard herself say intermittently: "Inside... inside there is... a bed..."

Splash...

Qin Jian decisively turned her around, picked her up horizontally, stood up from the water, and walked straight inside...

"Hm?"

Just as he placed Xue Qinghe on the large, soft bed and things were at a critical juncture, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of emerald light streaked past the corner of his eye. Qin Jian's heart jumped; he subconsciously shielded Xue Qinghe to dodge, then extended his left hand, red light flickering on it, and directly pinched the object that had attacked.

Only by using his soul bone to repel the poison could he hold it in his hand.

"This is... Nine-Section Jade?" Qin Jian frowned.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe had already wrapped herself in the quilt, looking at the small snake in Qin Jian's hand with a vigilant expression: "This is... a poisonous snake?"

Qin Jian nodded: "The Nine-Section Jade possesses a poison capable of slaughtering a city; anyone bitten by it will turn into pus and blood within three breaths, leaving no bones behind."

"Such a formidable poisonous snake..."

Xue Qinghe's expression was icy, yet carried a hint of alarm: "It's here, it's Dugu Bo!"

"Swish!"

Qin Jian quickly put on his outer robe from behind the screen and said without looking back: "Protect yourself; I will go drive him back."

The look in Xue Qinghe's eyes as she watched his back slowly softened.

She said softly: "Mm."

"Boom!"

But just as Qin Jian had not yet put on his trousers, the floor-to-ceiling glass of the penthouse was suddenly shattered, and a massive Green Phosphorus Snake lunged in, biting directly toward the bed.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Qin Jian instantly activated his Spirit Avatar, his blood-red martial soul possessed the Silver Dragon Spear, and he struck out with the spear aimed at the snake's head.

"Bang!"

The violent impact nearly blew the entire penthouse to pieces.

Qin Jian's figure was inevitably sent flying backward, crashing into the opposite floor-to-ceiling glass, which shattered instantly.

"Hum, hum, hum..."

As he flew backward into the night sky, he felt no panic or hesitation.

While in mid-air, rays of light swords appeared around him, showing red and blue colors, shooting a dual-colored path of light toward the sky.

In the sky opposite, a massive Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor appeared, and a dark green shadow shot over like lightning, swallowing the red and blue light swords.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

Large swathes of green mist eroded toward Qin Jian, but were completely blocked outside by the red sphere of light around his body.

"Why is my poison ineffective against you?"

Dugu Bo's voice traveled through the attack.

Qin Jian smiled: "Sorry, Senior Dugu, I... am immune to poison."

Dugu Bo: "..."

"Senior Dugu is firmly standing with the Fourth Prince?"

A Light Sword appeared beneath Qin Jian's feet, lifting him slowly into the air, and soon Dugu Bo's figure, standing with his hands behind his back, appeared before him.

"You haven't even dressed properly..."

Dugu Bo's gaze toward him was very strange: "So, what were you doing with Xue Qinghe just now?"

He emphasized the word "doing."

"Not doing anything, just doing things I love to do," Qin Jian said without changing his expression.

Dugu Bo's expression was strange: "You are lustful, so that is why you became her advisor?"

A calm smile appeared on Qin Jian's face: "I have come to this world for a walk, isn't this exactly what I am pursuing?"

"Then what do you think of Xue Beng?" Dugu Bo suddenly said.

Qin Jian's body swayed, and he almost fell from the sky.

"That's different, okay!" He said, covering his face.

"So, Xue Qinghe is most likely a woman, right?"

Dugu Bo's words made Qin Jian lower his hand from his face.

He said calmly: "What makes you say that?"

A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's old face: "Haven't you heard? The one who understands you best is always your opponent. Xue Beng has investigated and studied Xue Qinghe for over a decade, so naturally, he can discover some clues."

"Oh? Then does Xue Beng have something he wants you to bring to me?"

Qin Jian remained calm: "Since he understands so clearly, he probably also calculated that I would intervene, so what does he want to say to me?"

Unbeknownst to them, Xue Qinghe had finished dressing and was leaning against the tattered floor-to-ceiling window, watching Qin Jian and Dugu Bo in the sky.

"It seems my fourth younger brother has been acting the part of a playboy for over a decade; he even fooled me. Remarkable," she said indifferently.

Dugu Bo did not look at her, but continued to look at Qin Jian and said: "He said that your position is actually the same as his, so why not join forces to get rid of Xue Qinghe?"
