Chapter 254: Sensual Atmosphere! Song Qiuyun

Holy crap!

Xu Jingming finally understood why Song Qiuyun said her battle suit was inconvenient.

The suit clung to her like a second skin.

Like body paint, it concealed only a few key protrusions, leaving the rest of her silhouette unmistakably visible.

Such a suit could never be worn outside...

"This is a new low-drag battle suit from Extreme Tech—I just bought it yesterday."

"Don't you think it's a bit strange? Should I go change into another set?"

It was a trick taught to her by her roommate Qi Dongxia: wear a suit one size smaller and test Xu Jingming's reaction.

Even for Song Qiuyun, who was usually so open and bold, this tight outfit made her feel awkward.

"No need—this is fine as it is."

Xu Jingming cleared his throat and replied without changing expression.

As a nineteen-year-old youth with normal sexual orientation and abundant energy,

It was impossible for him to have no reaction to such an outfit.

But since they were alone in the training room, he might as well treat it as focus training.

"Alright then."

Song Qiuyun exhaled in relief, a quiet thrill rising in her heart.

Her A-rank natural light-based ability, "Dawn Light," granted her unique perceptual senses.

It was through this ability that, upon entering school, she had keenly sensed the beast-like aura on Xu Jingming.

But from last semester until now,

Aside from that beast-like ferocity, she had sensed no other emotions from him.

Know that

Even when fully covered, she could sense hot gazes everywhere she went.

Yet she had never, through Dawn Light, sensed such emotion from Xu Jingming.

This made her wonder if she simply couldn't stir any interest in him.

But just now, she finally sensed heat emanating from him.

With her weak strength, this couldn't possibly be battle lust.

If not battle lust, then the source of this heat was obvious...

"Qi Xia's plan really worked!"

Song Qiuyun silently gave her best friend a mental thumbs-up.

Then, with a faint flicker of her space ring, she drew out a long, thick halberd:

"Same as always—suppress your power to Second Rank Lower Tier. Can you beat me?"

Song Qiuyun's slightly flushed face sparkled with a mischievous smile.

Song Qiuyun's slightly flushed face beamed with a mischievous smile.

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow: "I've never heard such a request. If that's what you want, then I'll oblige..."

This wasn't their first sparring match.

He knew Song Qiuyun's fighting style and all her techniques inside and out.

So even with his power suppressed to Second Rank Lower Tier, he still dominated her.

Of course, he'd always dominated her before.

But this time was different—because of her words: "Beat me."

Xu Jingming increased his force slightly, striking more brutally than before.

In response, Song Qiuyun, as the weaker side, widened her defensive movements.

In the past, this would've been perfectly normal.

But because of the suit's unique design, each defensive motion inevitably revealed glimpses of her flesh.

Thus, the entire battle unfolded in an intensely alluring atmosphere.

"Jingming, I... I can't take it anymore."

After only half an hour of intense sparring,

Song Qiuyun, drenched in sweat, leaned against her halberd, gasping for breath, and surrendered first.

This caused the thick shaft of the halberd to sink perfectly into the deep valley between her breasts.

Such an irresistibly tempting pose made even the usually composed Xu Jingming's eyelids twitch.

He took a deep breath, slightly calming his surging blood, then teased with a smile:

"How's that? Did I finally beat you into submission?"

"Submission? I surrendered, but that doesn't mean I'm convinced—unless you actually make me feel pain."

Song Qiuyun blinked her beautiful eyes, having caught her breath.

She thrust her ample chest forward, looking proudly defiant: "Go ahead, try."

"Make me feel pain to earn my submission?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

His moves had been rough, but it was still sparring.

He hadn't gone all out, hadn't hurt her at all.

Yet now, this became her reason for resenting it.

"I don't believe I can't beat you into submission!" Xu Jingming's temper flared.

His gaze swept over her slender frame, searching for a suitable spot to strike.

When he noticed the full, firm curve,

A wicked fire surged through him—his once-clear eyes began to show faint draconic glints!

Without hesitation, he raised his right hand and struck.

Immediately, he extended his right hand and struck without hesitation.

A sharp, crisp sound echoed through the training room.

A sharp, crisp sound suddenly rang out in the training room.

Song Qiuyun let out a soft moan, her body trembling violently, nearly collapsing from weakness.

A strange warmth spread from her abdomen after the strike.

"Sorry, sorry—I didn't mean to!"

Xu Jingming finally realized what he'd done and immediately apologized.

"It's fine—I don't blame you."

Song Qiuyun's cheeks flushed red.

Then, she bit her lower lip gently, her beautiful eyes glistening like pools of spring water as she gazed at him:

"Jingming, can I ask you something?"

Seeing she wasn't upset, Xu Jingming exhaled in relief and nodded slightly:

Seeing that Song Qiuyun did not press further, Xu Jingming exhaled in relief and nodded slightly.

Normally, he would never have done something like that.

But just now, it seemed his draconic bloodline had influenced him.

At that moment, Song Qiuyun sheathed her halberd into her space ring.

She strode forward with long, shapely legs, closing the distance in three quick steps.

She looked up at him, eyes soft and sultry, slightly shy as she asked:

"Jingming... do you like me?"

"Huh?" Xu Jingming froze.

Having lived two lives, his emotional intelligence wasn't low—he knew exactly when a girl would ask this.

So he took a deep breath and seriously considered his answer.

After several minutes, he met her gaze and smiled as he nodded: "Yes."

Whether in figure or face, Song Qiuyun was among the very best.

He admitted that was what first drew him to her.

But that was only part of it.

What he truly valued was her confidence, boldness, and relentless pursuit of strength.

Otherwise, with his SS-rank ability, getting the government to assign him a prettier, more voluptuous girl would've been effortless.

"Really? That's amazing!"

Song Qiuyun's anxious heart was instantly flooded with joy.

Her face lit up with a dazzling smile as she threw her arms around him:

"I like you too—let's be together."

Originally, he'd planned to wait until his rank was higher before considering such things.

But since she'd taken the initiative this far, he had no reason to cling to his old rule.

So Xu Jingming wrapped his arms tightly around her slender body and smiled gently:

But since the girl had taken the initiative this far, he had no need to cling to that rule anymore.

So Xu Jingming wrapped his large hands tightly around Song Qiuyun's delicate frame and chuckled softly:

"Good."

PS: Finally, the first female lead! Congratulations to our Xiao Ming on ending his single life.

I'm not good at writing romance, but since this is another world, it wouldn't make sense not to have a harem.

Moreover, the protagonist is an orphan in both his past and current lives.

The author doesn't want him to remain alone until the very end—that would be too lonely. A happy, united family is best~~
