I Confess! I Confess Everything!

Chu Mingyue set down the tray, then slowly peeled off the sable pelt wrapped around her like a rice dumpling, revealing an outfit beneath so sexy it defied description.

This...

It utterly crushed black silk fishnets—bare-waist, bare-back attire...

It displayed Chu Mingyue's bewitching figure to the fullest, emphasizing nothing but sexy, fiery allure—wildly seductive.

Without exaggeration, Chu Mingyue's current getup rivaled the stripper version of a no-cilantro girl Xu Jie had paid five hundred for at a Southeast Asian nightclub in his previous life.

She looked dressed, yet also seemed barely dressed at all—the kind of image that was dressed without truly being dressed.

No wonder she had wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling. If Chu Mingyue really dared wear this out, wouldn't she get arrested for corrupting public morals?

Wait, was this woman doing it on purpose?

Wasn't she a virgin?

She wasn't some woman of the red-light district!

And she came from a great Lineage...

Why was her style so radically different, like... a girl entering her rebellious phase?

Seeing Xu Jie stunned by the contrast of her outfit, swallowing again and again with a greedy, drooling expression, Chu Mingyue revealed a faint, imperceptible smile.

Pretending not to notice Xu Jie's burning gaze, she walked up to him, pressed close, and began applying medicine to his wounds.

Xu Jie's entire body stiffened. He felt more pressure than when he had fought Xu Ming.

Chu Mingyue lowered her head slightly at that moment and glanced at the change in Xu Jie, nearly dropping the bandage in her hand in fright.

"Uh, this is normal..."

"I know!"

Chu Mingyue's pretty face flushed crimson. She hurriedly climbed onto the hospital bed, leaned against Xu Jie, pressed herself to his back, and continued treating his wounds.

"!!!"

Could this kind of sensation actually be real?!

For an instant, Xu Jie felt as though he had sunk into cotton. Fine beads of cold sweat gradually formed across his forehead.

No, big sister, what exactly are you trying to do? Just say it. I confess—I confess everything!

Xu Jie truly was tough as nails. He was not afraid of any torture.

But Chu Mingyue refused to play by the rules, shamelessly and despicably striking right at his vital spot and weak point.

Who could endure that?

At this moment, Chu Mingyue was secretly puzzled as well.

The old Xu Jie had always spouted sweet talk. Why, after she had sacrificed so much today, was he still unmoved?

Could it be that Xu Jie did not like this mature, domineering big-sister kind of sexy style?

Chu Mingyue glanced at the flag that seemed to have undergone another dramatic change and realized that Xu Jie had clearly been completely captivated. Her judgment had not been wrong.

"Xu Jie!"

"Speak!"

Leaning against Xu Jie's back, Chu Mingyue breathed softly by his ear and asked in a low, lingering voice.

"What realm are you at now?"

"Nine Blood Shifts!"

"!!!"

Xu Jie confessed with startling decisiveness, without concealing a single thing.

He only wanted to send Chu Mingyue away as soon as possible, then leave the school and find a few no-cilantro girls outside who would do it for money.

Hmm, in Xia Country's high-martial world, how much did a no-cilantro girl cost per session again?

At his words, Chu Mingyue's face filled with shock. The jade hand resting on Xu Jie's shoulder suddenly dug its sharp nails into the gaps between his muscles.

Xu Jie had really undergone Nine Blood Shifts?

Even though Xu Jie had said it himself, Chu Mingyue, who came from Central Prefecture, still could not believe it!

One had to know that with her family background, she could even access information about Xia Country's gods.

Chu Mingyue had lived for over twenty years, yet she had never seen a true monster who had undergone Nine Blood Shifts!

People like that mostly existed only in legends, or among other races in the Outer Regions.

Every one of them was a supreme prodigy across the myriad worlds—either the legitimate son of some demon emperor or the descendant of some supreme being.

And Xu Jie...

He was merely an orphan who had still been bullied and oppressed by upperclassmen three days ago...

It took her a long while to recover, until Xu Jie's expression grew increasingly strange.

Only then did Chu Mingyue gradually digest this shocking news and softly ask another question.

"Xu Jie, then the Demon Subduing Flame Blade martial skill I gave you..."

"I cultivated it to perfection and comprehended an ultimate meaning. Do you want it?"

Chu Mingyue's delicate body trembled as she was once again shocked beyond measure!

What had Xu Jie just said?

She had only given him that Profound Grade High Rank martial skill yesterday, and today he had already cultivated an ultimate meaning from it?

What was an ultimate meaning?

It was a higher-level move deduced after breaking through the perfection realm!

Even in Central Prefecture of Xia Country, it was not as if there were no prodigies capable of deducing martial skill ultimate meanings—it was simply that none of them were as fast as Xu Jie!

"I... you... Can I have it?"

"Of course. If you want it, I'll give you all of it!"

Xu Jie only wanted to send Chu Mingyue away quickly. Otherwise, he really was going to explode—the literal kind of explode.

"Thank you..."

Chu Mingyue struggled with herself for a long time, but in the end, she could not resist the temptation of the ultimate meaning.

She had cultivated the Demon Subduing Flame Blade for many years. Her talent was considered excellent, yet she had only barely touched the threshold of perfection even now.

If she could obtain the ultimate meaning, she would absolutely be able to cultivate it to the perfection realm, perhaps even go a step further and master the ultimate meaning.

Thinking of this, Chu Mingyue bent down as if possessed by ghosts and gods and kissed Xu Jie on the neck.

The unfamiliar sensation stimulated Xu Jie, and he shot to his feet with a sudden jerk.

"You can leave! I'll record the ultimate meaning into a chip and send it to you through the chat app!"

"???"

Chu Mingyue's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

At first, she had still felt shy over her own uncontrollable action.

But after Xu Jie suddenly startled her like this, only bewilderment remained in her heart.

Xu Jie... why had he changed again?

Before this, Xu Jie had lusted after her body without the slightest restraint.

Yet now, he was behaving completely out of character, deliberately creating a distant sense of separation between them.

Why?

This was also the first time Chu Mingyue could not understand Xu Jie's thoughts. She only knew that she was becoming more and more interested in him and developing an increasingly special feeling toward him.

Thus, Chu Mingyue, who had always done as she pleased, grabbed Xu Jie and pulled him back down to sit. She resumed her original instructor's demeanor and said coolly,

"The bandaging isn't finished. Where am I supposed to go? Xu Jie, is it a good thing for a grown man to have such poor self-control? Hmph!"

"..."

You have the nerve to say that?

Look how worked up you are.

The dancers at nightclubs aren't even one-tenth as fiery as you!

Xu Jie sat restlessly as he accepted Chu Mingyue's bandaging service, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

If not because...

He would absolutely have taken Chu Mingyue on the spot!

He would have gone all out, so thoroughly that Chu Mingyue would not be able to get out of bed for three days!

What a pity...

This woman really was an M!

Before, Xu Jie had not felt it too clearly, but now he was one hundred percent certain—Chu Mingyue was definitely an M.

After realizing that, he did not dare give Chu Mingyue any opportunity at all.

Otherwise, in this high-martial world, he would inevitably gain a piece of sticky candy at his side—the kind he could never shake off no matter how hard he tried.
