41: Do you have any magical artifacts to help me with my senior sister's confession?

After leaving the black market!

Qin Wushang toyed with the qiankun immortal jade, which felt warm and smooth to the touch, yet he couldn't detect any spiritual anomaly.

It seemed like a very ordinary piece of jade!

"This jade can reflect a world; it must be a Magic Treasure containing its own universe," Ye Hongfu said from the side.

"I know, but dripping blood to acknowledge ownership had no reaction, like it's a common jade, which is a bit strange."

Qin Wushang was somewhat helpless.

He had already dripped blood three times, but it hadn't been absorbed.

"Perhaps Soul Blood is needed."

Ye Hongfu reminded him.

There was more than one way to acknowledge ownership of a treasure; there were other methods.

And Soul Blood was one of them.

"What is Soul Blood?"

Qin Wushang was surprised.

He had experienced Rebirth once, but he had never heard of this.

"Soul Blood requires melting Qi and Soul Power with powerful Divine Sense to condense. This method of acknowledging ownership is very ancient; I've only read about it in ancient books."

"With Junior Brother's current Cave Heaven Realm cultivation, he cannot yet achieve it. He must at least enter the Dao Palace and have sufficiently strong Divine Sense to condense Soul Blood."

Ye Hongfu patiently explained.

The two walked side by side, leaving the imperial city.

Ye Hongfu's thoughts stirred, and she summoned her Natal Flying Sword, which rapidly enlarged.

She lightly leaped onto the sword tip, her black hair and red dress fluttering slightly in the wind, and lowered her head to extend a hand to Qin Wushang.

"Junior Brother, come up."

"I can jump up."

Qin Wushang leaped up and landed steadily at the end of the sword body.

"Junior Brother! That... it flies a bit fast, you should hold onto me, I'm afraid you'll fall!"

Ye Hongfu said softly.

She had tied him up to bring him here, and now that they were returning, she didn't want to tie him up again.

Qin Wushang maintained a slight distance from her, shaking his head slightly.

"No need, I can stand steadily."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ye Hongfu's lips curved into an almost imperceptible arc.

"Then... Junior Brother, you'd better stand firm!"

Before her words finished, the Flying Sword suddenly transformed into a startled rainbow, soaring into the sky with terrifying speed!

Qin Wushang felt like he was riding a rocket into space!

Immediately after!

The Flying Sword then executed a nearly vertical dive, followed by several abrupt turns without warning, tracing several dizzying S-shaped trajectories in the air!

"Ugh!"

The powerful inertia made Qin Wushang's body sway violently. Almost instinctively, he spread his arms and embraced the slender and supple waist in front of him.

He pressed his entire body tightly against her, barely managing to steady himself!

This woman was definitely doing it on purpose!

He understood!

This was the classic trick of a 'yellow-haired youth riding a ghost-fire motorcycle to pick up girls'!

Pressed against the girl's back, his nose was filled with her unique cool fragrance and a faint, almost imperceptible Sword Qi.

Qin Wushang's heart inexplicably quickened a few beats.

He composed himself, leaned his lips close to her slightly reddened ear, and whispered, testing, "Senior Sister, you're flying so... stylishly, could it be that you... like me?"

"Cough!"

Ye Hongfu's delicate body visibly stiffened, feeling the warm breath behind her ear, and even her fair neck flushed crimson.

She feigned composure, but her voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor as she bravely asked, "Then... Junior Brother, what do you think of Senior Sister?"

"I think..."

Qin Wushang drew out his words, feeling the tension in the body he held, and mischievously said, "Most likely, I like it."

If she wasn't interested in him, how could she be so proactive?

He wasn't stupid!

Ye Hongfu's heart skipped a beat instantly. After a moment of silence, she asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Then... Junior Brother, would you be willing to become my Dao Companion?"

"Well..."

Qin Wushang deliberately pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Let me think about it."

"Ah? This... you still... still need to think about it?"

Ye Hongfu was stunned, her mind blank.

Living two lives, this was the first time she had so openly put aside her reserve to confess, only to receive such a vague response.

An indescribable feeling of shame and embarrassment surged in her heart!

Her voice grew even softer as she unwillingly asked, "Is Senior Sister's figure not good enough?"

"Or is this appearance not pleasing to Junior Brother's eyes?"

"That's not it."

Qin Wushang immediately denied it, his arms subconsciously tightening around her supple waist a little more, speaking truthfully.

"Senior Sister is of peerless grace, it's just... when I look at you from afar, I always feel like I'm looking at an peerless immortal sword, cold and solitary, making one not dare to profane it."

"This gives me a sense of distance."

He looked at her exquisitely beautiful face, somewhat surprised.

This Senior Sister, who would deliberately speed up her sword, unexpectedly blushed so deeply when teased.

She looked just like a monkey's bottom!

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongfu felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, and her initial disappointment was replaced by new courage.

She turned her head slightly and asked earnestly, "Then what if Senior Sister wants to pursue you? I want to become your Dao Companion."

Qin Wushang saw a sense of persistence and seriousness on her face!

She was a good girl!

She could be said to be completely different from the cold female sword immortals he had been with in his previous life!

But... he wouldn't give up a forest for one tree!

The Dao was so long, Dao Companions shouldn't be so few. If he agreed to be her Dao Companion...

Then what about his cheap Revered Master?

He lowered his head, his warm breath almost scalding her earlobe, and said in an ambiguous tone.

"The matter of Dao Companions concerns the long-term Dao; how can it be easily decided? But..."

"If Senior Sister performs well in the future, perhaps... it's not impossible between us."

These words were like a feather tickling her heart, making Ye Hongfu's earlobes so red they almost dripped blood!

She smiled!

There was a chance, so it was fine!

This trip, she didn't come in vain; she gained something!

In the days to come!

It would be about conquering Junior Brother and making up for all the regrets of her previous life!

"Ju-Junior Brother..."

Suddenly, she felt something poking her from behind and instinctively twisted her waist slightly.

"Did you put some Magical Artifact in your pocket?"

As the words left her mouth, Qin Wushang's body instantly stiffened, his old face flushed, and he hastily loosened his arms, awkwardly coughing twice.

"Cough, cough!"

"How could that be! Senior Sister, you must be mistaken!"

He quickly changed the subject.

"Senior Sister! Can your Flying Sword fly any faster? I feel like I'm not even running as fast as myself!"

"The academy is quite far from the imperial city! Fly faster!"
