148: Chapter 148 Mind Reading

The moment she saw this sword, it was as if stars flickered in Xing Yaoyan's eyes.

The sword had a slender blade, with a golden hilt paired with a blade marked by blue stripes, giving it an overall high-quality feel.

She unconsciously ran her fingers gently down the blade, feeling its sharpness.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Xing Yaoyan couldn't help but perform a sword flourish; although it was such a simple movement, she could feel the sharp sensation emanating from the space around it.

She tried injecting her Demonic Power into the sword, and the next moment, she saw the sword instantly completely enveloped by red Demonic Power, emitting bursts of sword hums.

It could actually perfectly adapt to her power!

Up until now, she had never used a weapon in combat.

It wasn't that she didn't like using weapons; back then, she had envied Qian Wanyao's longsword for a long time, but she simply couldn't find a weapon that could perfectly adapt to her Power Of Will.

In the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, she had once visited a blacksmith who specialized in making weapons.

The weapons of the Yao Race mainly used a special kind of metal Ore, making the resulting weapons generally heavy and having a strong scent of blood, which she didn't like.

The weapons from human merchants were quite exquisite, but these so-called Spiritual Artifacts were too fragile and couldn't withstand her Power Of Will at all.

High-rank Spiritual Artifacts could withstand her power, but due to the difference in rank, she couldn't effectively unleash their full power.

Therefore, under the limitations of various factors, even though she really wanted a weapon of her own, she ultimately never found one suitable for herself.

"Thank you... I like it very much."

Xing Yaoyan continued to gently stroke the blade, as if caressing a beloved treasure.

Seeing the young girl so unable to put down his creation, Qian Mo felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Ahem... This is my proudest work, crafted by pouring all my heart and soul into it, using my own spiritual power combined with my Breakthrough understanding and application of star crystal. There is only one such piece on the market..."

Qian Mo then excitedly introduced the process of making this Spiritual Artifact.

Although he had suffered quite a bit to obtain this piece of star crystal at the time, seeing the person he admired look so genuinely happy made all that suffering turn into sweetness like honey.

Looking at her now, the atmosphere should be set just right, so can I...

...confess my feelings?

Qian Mo felt his heart beating extremely fast, and his breathing was much heavier than before.

"Young Miss Xing Yan..."

The young girl's hand stroking the blade paused, and she turned her head to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

To be honest, Xing Yaoyan hadn't listened to the boy's thoughtful and detailed explanation of the production process at all; her attention had been entirely on this sword.

So when she suddenly heard the boy call her, she just responded subconsciously, her mind still in a slightly dazed state.

A faint smile was on her face, and her dark golden eyes were like the most shining gems in the world.

They say eyes can express feelings, and her subconscious action was undoubtedly telling him clearly: I think you're not bad...

"...I..."

The boy's voice began to stammer. At this critical last step, he suddenly felt that the current time, location, and even his own attire didn't seem quite appropriate.

Is this too abrupt for me? Is it too fast? Should I just confess to her so rashly...

"Why did you stop talking?"

The young girl tilted her head, her eyes looking at the boy with a hint of resentment.

Why did you call me for nothing? I finally found a weapon that could withstand my power, and I haven't finished enjoying touching it yet.

Even if it was a gift from you, that's not okay...

Wait... He gave me a gift, I accepted it happily, isn't this the perfect time for the confession he mentioned before!

So he is now going to officially...

And just after Xing Yaoyan realized what the boy was doing, before her cheeks began to turn red...

"...I'm going to the restroom!"

Xing Yaoyan, who had been prepared to be confessed to and was frantically thinking in her mind how to politely refuse without damaging her relationship with him, was instantly stunned on the spot.

But afterwards, seeing the bathroom door close, she gently stroked her upturned lips with her slender fingers and sighed helplessly:

"Sigh... What a coward..."

Xing Yaoyan, who was mocking the boy in her heart, didn't realize at all that she was actually no better herself.

If Qian Mo had really confessed solemnly just now, her face might have turned red enough to steam buns.

She didn't have to wait too long.

Following the sounds of flushing and running water, the boy pushed the door open and walked out.

Although he looked much calmer, Xing Yaoyan keenly felt that his state was a bit strange, as if he had the feeling of someone with a guilty conscience.

No way, he shouldn't be... It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be...

Dirty thoughts flashed through her mind. Although she knew how much charm she had for a virgin like Qian Mo, she believed that given his character, he would absolutely never do such a thing.

"Young Miss Xing Yan, may I ask you a few questions?"

Phew... He didn't start with "I'm sorry"... I knew it...

Xing Yaoyan's heart, which had just been lifted, relaxed.

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

Over this period, she had already thought of many excuses.

Now, looking at the boy's embarrassed appearance in front of her, she suddenly felt like a heartless woman who liked to keep others in suspense.

"What do you think of me?"

The boy asked.

Huh? What kind of question is this?

"You are very good."

Although she said that, Xing Yaoyan's inner thoughts were very rich.

[Gentle, has a special preference for me, although you are a block of wood when it comes to feelings. You've met so many beauties like Captain Li Qiaoyan and Yu Linger and could remain unmoved; I even once suspected whether you liked human-beast relationships...]

And Qian Mo was obviously stunned when he heard her words.

"System, can you help me translate her words? What does it mean that she suspected I liked human-beast relationships, and also, why does she know that Yu Linger and I have a good relationship? I remember she clearly only met her once in the mine."

[Ding! According to System analysis, Xing Yan may have had designs on you for a long time and had people collect a lot of information about you in advance...]

That's right, during the time he was calming down in the restroom, Qian Mo realized that he still couldn't express his admiration to the girl he liked in this environment.

And by chance, he saw the "One-time Five-minute Mind Reading Card" that the System had previously rewarded him with in the System space.

It was hard to get a chance to be alone with Young Miss Xing Yan, so wouldn't it be a pity to waste such an Opportunity?

Therefore, he decisively used this Mind Reading Card on the young girl, partly to see her true thoughts about him, and on the other hand, to see if there might be any clues related to Xing Yaoyan.

However, just from this first question, his intuition told him—Young Miss Xing Yan is very strange!
