Qiu Chan did not finish speaking. She narrowed her eyes and repeatedly sized Jiang Yang up from head to toe.
To her surprise, she could not spot a single opening on him.
Could the saber in my hand only work on Zombies? Or... does Jiang Yang have no openings at all?
Her impression of Jiang Yang remained stuck in the days when he had pursued her. He had been a famous wealthy young master at Linjiang University. The Qiu Family could not compare to the Jiang Family in terms of wealth, but its heritage and history far surpassed the Jiang Family's. The Qiu Family cared only about inheritance, not money or status.
Had I misjudged him before?
Qiu Chan could not help muttering to herself inwardly.
"Maybe it's because I'm handsome. School Beauty Qiu, have you stared long enough?"
Jiang Yang casually gave her an answer.
She was observing him, so he could openly admire the school beauty's looks as well. That was called an equal countermeasure.
Sure enough, just as the novels described—there was not a single flaw.
Jiang Yang actually knew what she was looking at. Her gaze kept moving over his body. She was probably searching for openings, but judging by her expression, she had not found any.
"You are quite handsome. But I have a question. Since Young Master Jiang is not lacking in skill, why didn't you challenge me back then?"
Qiu Chan had no idea how Jiang Yang had sent that Zombie flying. She had not even been able to see his movements. He was truly strong...
So she shifted her gaze to the black saber in Jiang Yang's hand. Could his weapon be the same as hers?
A woman like Qiu Chan could not be judged by ordinary standards.
When she said you were handsome, she was not flattering you or showing interest. She was simply stating a fact.
Thinking of that, Jiang Yang was speechless. Then even more speechless.
In front of Qiu Chan, looks were completely useless. He had to prescribe the right remedy!
"What an honor. School Beauty Qiu is actually willing to take the initiative and speak so much to me?"
The moment Jiang Yang saw the look in Qiu Chan's eyes, he knew there was hope.
This woman had started taking an interest in him!
The Qiu Chan in the original owner's memories had always looked indifferent and uninterested, wherever she went.
Even when she won the National Competition, she had shown little joy. It was as though nothing could stir her emotions.
To her, it had not been an honor, but an ordinary part of daily life.
There was a reason she could become a super powerhouse in the future. When it came to martial arts, she possessed a purity of heart beyond the reach of ordinary people. Because of that, she viewed everything else lightly, her heart as still as water.
But others might not see that personality as admirable. Once they got to know her, they might even think she was a strange woman.
In that case, let me, Jiang Yang, warm this lonely soul!
"What I said before still stands. If you can defeat me, dating you—or even bearing your children—is not impossible. No... if you can truly defeat me, I will definitely choose to have your child. Only then can I ensure the Qiu Family's lineage continues. So, shall we fight?"
As she said this, Qiu Chan's eyes gleamed with excitement as she examined Jiang Yang from head to toe.
This woman... really was strange.
Still, he could understand her.
Jiang Yang was in no rush.
What he wanted was Qiu Chan's heart, not her body. As long as he kept a woman curious and expectant, becoming one in body and soul would only be a matter of time.
"You've expended too much strength right now. You're not at your best. There's no point in beating you under those circumstances."
Jiang Yang shook his head and walked over to the Gemini Demon's corpse, beginning to carve out the valuable parts. Li Shun and Zhang Yao also came over to help.
That made Qiu Chan frown.
At first, she was displeased by Jiang Yang's perfunctory response. He had actually refused her challenge. But his actions also made her extremely curious.
Unlike ordinary women, Qiu Chan was not frightened by such a bloody scene. Instead, she carefully watched every move Jiang Yang and the others made and asked, "What are you doing?"
"This Gemini Demon is worth a lot of money."
In Jiang Yang's eyes, the Gemini Demon was covered in treasure. Its four arms and scales could be used as weapon materials, and each of its two heads contained a Magic Crystal. The System Space was not full anyway, so leaving it empty would be a waste.
What interested Qiu Chan more than Jiang Yang's actions was that the things he cut off vanished the moment he casually grabbed them!
Her eyes widened with curiosity. "Where did the things you cut off go?"
Qiu Chan took the initiative to squat beside Jiang Yang, watching those bloody pieces disappear in his hands.
"Secret."
Jiang Yang waved his hand, signaling that he could handle things here and telling Li Shun and Zhang Yao to extract the useful parts from the other Zombies.
With their earlier experience, the two had gradually adjusted and began swiftly handling the remaining dead Zombies in the Kendo Club.
"If you want to know a secret, you have to pay a price."
Jiang Yang continued wielding the power of words.
"Forget it. There's something else I'd like to ask you."
Qiu Chan found that Jiang Yang seemed to know everything. Subconsciously, she had already begun treating him as an expert, so she respectfully asked, "Jiang Yang, do you know what's going on with my saber?"
Jiang Yang did not hide it from her.
"I'll answer that question for free. Consider it payment for admiring School Beauty Qiu's perfect face."
"This saber has a history of nearly five hundred years. It is a Qi Family Saber, once used by the Qi Family Army to fight Japanese pirates!"
"In the Apocalypse, many old objects with history and stories become items and weapons. This saber is one of them!"
"Thank you." Though grateful, Qiu Chan was quite puzzled. "But do such rituals still exist? Or is this some custom that has become popular nowadays?"
She often made quite a few jokes because she lacked common sense in certain areas, so she frequently pondered those two questions.
To be honest, Jiang Yang did not understand what she meant at first.
But Qiu Chan's next words made him understand instantly. "But you don't look bad either. Since I was looking at you just now, should I pay some compensation too? I don't have anything to give you, though. Let's talk about it later, all right?"
Jiang Yang wanted to say that she did have something she could give him.
But after thinking about it, he realized that such a joke would not stir any emotions in Qiu Chan. He could only nod helplessly.
This really is somewhat difficult...
Qiu Chan also breathed a sigh of relief. She did not like owing favors. Then she asked, "Where are we going next?"
"We? Are you coming with me?"
"Yes." Qiu Chan nodded calmly. "Before I defeat you properly, I won't leave your side. To me, you are now a worthy opponent. Besides, you just killed my opponent."
At that last sentence, Qiu Chan revealed a faint trace of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yang found it amusing. If it had been another girl, after he stepped in just now, she might not have been overwhelmed with gratitude, but she would at least have been thankful.
But with Qiu Chan, it was the opposite.
Still, it did not matter. The key to flirting was controlling the other person's emotions. He had to make her emotions rise and fall. A heart as still as an ancient well was the true hell difficulty.
Jiang Yang laughed. "Haha, then if I keep refusing your challenges, does that mean you'll follow me for the rest of your life?"
Qiu Chan frowned slightly.
After considering it, that did seem to be true in theory.
"You'd better not do that," she said unhappily.
Jiang Yang laughed it off. "I'm joking. Don't worry, let's go. Once you've rested up, I'll defeat you. Then you can stay by my side and bear my children."
Even Qiu Chan could not help blushing at Jiang Yang's targeted emotional tugging. She pursed her lips and said, "What empty boasts. I hope Young Master Jiang can still be standing when the time comes."
