8: Twisting the melon is more rewarding

Her sharp gaze wasn't something Qin Jiang paid attention to; instead, what attracted him the most was her delicate jade-like feet.

Following Qin Jiang's gaze, the woman lowered her head slightly, her eyes growing even colder.

"Lecher, you're courting death!"

Her voice was filled with killing intent.

Qin Jiang raised his head, looking at the woman's stunningly beautiful face, and smiled slightly:

"Stop pretending. If you dared to act, would you still be spouting so much nonsense?"

Hearing this, the woman let out a cold snort.

She was incredibly annoyed. She was currently just a Soul body, and an extremely weak one at that. Only by secretly absorbing Xiao Fan's power for over a decade had she barely managed to awaken.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to be honest with Xiao Fan about everything. With her help, Xiao Fan's future path would definitely be much easier, and she also wanted to use Xiao Fan's power to reshape her physical body.

However, she hadn't expected that before she could be honest, Qin Jiang would snatch her away.

"You knew all along that I was hiding in the ring?"

The woman asked.

Qin Jiang nodded, saying disdainfully:

"Anyone with a bit of discerning vision could have pulled you out. You're lucky the Xiao Family doesn't have many powerful individuals. Otherwise, if you had secretly absorbed Xiao Fan's power, you would have probably been annihilated long ago."

"Hmph!"

The woman let out a cold snort.

Secretly absorbing Xiao Fan's power was indeed not a proper thing to do, but she had no choice. If she hadn't, she would have probably dissipated.

Moreover, she was confident she could help Xiao Fan!

"Since you knew about my existence all along and still snatched me away, there must be something you need me for, right?"

The woman's eyes flickered as she spoke.

Qin Jiang nodded:

"There is indeed something I need you for."

Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't dare to act against Qin Jiang. Putting aside whether she could even harm him, Qin Jiang's identity alone was enough to make her wary.

But if Qin Jiang needed her for something, then things were easier to discuss.

"My Old Ancestor has been urging me to carry on the family line, so I need your help."

Qin Jiang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face, which had just softened, instantly turned cold. Her Aura surged. Although she was just a Soul body, her Aura was truly not weak.

Unfortunately, after a year of spoilers, Qin Jiang still hadn't learned about her original strength.

He only knew that she came from the Fire Clan.

He knew nothing else.

But as long as she was in the Qin Family, the woman couldn't possibly threaten him.

"If you release your Aura again and attract my Old Ancestor, you'll probably be forcibly tied up by them and made to bear children for me."

Qin Jiang said teasingly.

The woman's delicate body stiffened. She also understood the power of the Qin Family. Taking a deep breath, she slowly retracted her Aura.

"Give up that idea. I won't fall in love with anyone."

The woman said coldly.

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow:

"Who says carrying on the family line requires love? Heh heh, a forced melon might not be sweet, but it quenches thirst. Moreover, it gives a greater sense of accomplishment."

"You..."

Listening to Qin Jiang's words, she couldn't deny that she felt a little flustered internally.

If Qin Jiang really used force, she would truly have difficulty resisting.

The woman's face flickered between shades of uncertainty. Suddenly, she thought of something and sneered:

"Heh heh, you're still thinking about carrying on the family line now. Who knows, it might not be long before your Qin Family faces a great disaster!"

"Oh?"

"Facing a peerless heaven's favorite, you either befriend them or eliminate them, but you..."

The woman let out a light snort and said no more.

But hearing this, Qin Jiang understood. He looked at the woman with a half-smile:

"The peerless heaven's favorite you're talking about wouldn't happen to be Xiao Fan, would it?"

"Huh?"

The woman's face stiffened.

She looked at Qin Jiang, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. She had said those words simply to make Qin Jiang wary and, when he questioned her further, to exchange information for some benefits.

But Qin Jiang had actually guessed it directly!

How could this be?

One must know that in everyone's eyes, Xiao Fan was a good-for-nothing.

In her opinion, Qin Jiang must have thought so too. Otherwise, she didn't understand why Qin Jiang would break off the engagement. After all, Xiao Fan was a peerless heaven's favorite.

"A Fire God Body can indeed be considered a peerless heaven's favorite."

Qin Jiang nodded.

The woman: "..."

She looked at Qin Jiang in disbelief:

"How did you know?"

Xiao Fan's Fire God Body hadn't actually awakened yet. She had only occasionally discovered it by continuously absorbing Xiao Fan's power, yet Qin Jiang, who had only been in contact with Xiao Fan for a short while, had actually discovered it?

Then why did he still break off the engagement?

Wouldn't it be better to bring a peerless heaven's favorite with a Divine Body into the Qin Family?

The woman didn't understand.

Moreover, Qin Jiang seemed to know everything. In her eyes, Qin Jiang was gradually becoming more mysterious.

"A Divine Body possessor. You've made an enemy of him and are allowing him to grow. Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate against the Qin Family?"

The woman asked doubtfully.

Qin Jiang said disdainfully:

"Just a Divine Body.

As if someone doesn't have one!"

"You..."

The woman's beautiful eyes widened:

"You also possess a Divine Body?"

Qin Jiang smiled slightly:

"I'm not very talented, but I happen to possess a type of Divine Body."

And I'm about to have a second one.

He only muttered the latter sentence to himself.

The woman was somewhat stunned. Has Divine Body become so common these days?

She remembered that in her era, even among the Ancient Clans, there were no Divine Body possessors, right?

Now, she had only been awake for a few days and had already seen two Divine Body possessors.

"What kind of Divine Body do you have?"

The woman couldn't help but ask.

Qin Jiang blinked and said seriously:

"If you bear my children, I'll tell you."

The woman's face darkened. She truly felt no sense of security around Qin Jiang.

Seeing the woman fall silent, Qin Jiang said no more.

He pointed at the ring:

"Go back if you want to. I only called you out because I wanted to see what you looked like."

The woman bit her silver teeth and glared angrily at Qin Jiang. It had been a long time since she had been so angry.

This scoundrel could make her angry with just a few words.

"Also, I'm going into seclusion next. Don't come out and disturb me. If anything happens to me, I'll definitely make the Old Ancestor capture you, help you recover your body, and then make you bear ten children for me!"

Ten children?

The woman's delicate body stumbled. She glared at Qin Jiang hatefully. This scoundrel, was he treating her like a pig?

With a cold snort, she returned directly to the ring, out of sight and out of mind.

Qin Jiang waved his hand, putting the ring back on his finger, and even tapped it lightly.

"Don't randomly knock on my door!"

At the same time, the woman's voice sounded.

Qin Jiang chuckled sheepishly and withdrew his hand. This ring truly was equivalent to the woman's home.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Jiang calmed his emotions and adjusted his state.

After a while, having adjusted his state, he said to himself:

"System, use Hidden Divine Body Awakening."

As his words fell, a dormant power within Qin Jiang's body slowly emerged.

The surrounding spiritual energy, as if drawn by a gravitational pull, also gathered towards Qin Jiang.
