A Late-Night Encounter with Lu Xueqi? A Confession!

The Second Heavenly Curtain's revelation had exposed a heaven-shaking secret.

For a time, even the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament of the Qingyun Sect no longer seemed so important.

After the Heavenly Curtain's revelation ended, True Lord Daoxuan immediately convened a meeting of the Seven Peaks to discuss the wealth of information exposed by This Round of the Heavenly Curtain...

First was the matter concerning Jin Ping'er.

After True Lord Daoxuan and the various Heads gave it some thought, considering that they did not yet know Jin Ping'er's current circumstances, they decided to first make a public declaration to the world—

The Qingyun Sect would always take in Jin Ping'er.

If Jin Ping'er were truly hunted by the Demonic Sect in the future, she could immediately head to the Qingyun Sect, or seek help at Qingyun outposts in various regions.

The Qingyun Sect would not stand by and do nothing.

After all—Jin Ping'er had close ties with the next Qingyun Sect Leader, and would one day become a pillar of the Righteous Path, an expert at the peak of the Supreme Purity Realm!

How could the Qingyun Sect possibly refuse to take in such a person?

Then there was the matter of the Beast God...

Because they knew too little, True Lord Daoxuan and the others failed to reach any conclusion. In the end, they could only send a letter to Burning Incense Valley to see whether they could uncover any information.

After all, the Southern Border was Burning Incense Valley's territory.

This meeting of the Seven Peaks lasted until nightfall.

The Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, which had originally been set to begin today, was therefore postponed until tomorrow.

Night.

The sly moon hid itself within the Cloud Layer.

The dim moonlight made one feel somewhat oppressed.

Tonight, was destined to be a sleepless night.

Ye Changfeng wandered alone atop Heaven-Reaching Peak.

The courtyard assigned to them was simply too small. Seven or eight people had to squeeze into one courtyard, and the stench of feet and sweat made it hard to sleep...

There was no helping it.

There were simply too many Seven Peaks Disciples.

And Heaven-Reaching Peak was only so large.

Of course, sleep was actually optional for Ye Changfeng. After all, he was already at the Shangqing Mid-stage; going without sleep for a night would not affect him...

At this moment, he was pondering something.

Today, the Heavenly Curtain had exposed Jin Ping'er's future. He wondered whether she would be targeted by the Demonic Sect because of it!?

How was she faring...

Ye Changfeng felt somewhat worried.

Though he and Jin Ping'er had not yet met, she was, after all, his Future Wife...

"Alas."

Ye Changfeng sighed inwardly.

There was nothing he could do now. He could only hope that Jin Ping'er was clever enough to escape the Demonic Sect's schemes.

Whoosh!

Just then, Ye Changfeng's body stiffened slightly.

His gaze slowly turned ahead.

There, a cold and aloof girl appeared amid the sea of clouds.

She wore a plain white gown. Slender, graceful, and tall, she was like jade, her clothes like snow. Her fair skin appeared flawless beneath the moonlight, while her raven-black beautiful hair cascaded loosely down her back, swaying gently in the breeze and carrying a faint fragrance...

At this moment.

Looking at the Cold and Aloof Girl before him.

Ye Changfeng suddenly did not know what to say.

Likewise.

The moment Lu Xueqi saw Ye Changfeng, her heart skipped a beat. She clearly had not expected to run into him here...

The Cold and Aloof Girl pursed her lips slightly.

She wanted to say something, but she likewise did not know how to begin...

Beneath the moonlight, amid the sea of clouds.

The young man and young woman looked into each other's eyes.

Suddenly, they stepped forward at the same time.

They actually walked toward one another.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The distance between them grew smaller and smaller, until only half a meter remained.

At last.

They could see each other's features clearly.

Ye Changfeng could not help but chuckle. Pretending to be familiar with her, he said, "Senior Sister Lu, can't you sleep either?"

"Hmm?"

The Cold and Aloof Girl tilted her head slightly.

Her nature was rather detached, and she barely knew how to talk to people, much less fall in love...

Right now, this was her first proper meeting with Ye Changfeng, yet the first thing she said was, "Why do you call me Senior Sister?"

Hearing this.

Ye Changfeng was not surprised.

After all, he knew Lu Xueqi's personality well.

Her cold and aloof nature meant she would never express her true feelings. She would only silently bottle them up inside, then stubbornly endure them alone...

When it came to girls like this?

You absolutely had to take the initiative!

Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for anything to progress!

Ye Changfeng blinked lightly. He stared openly at the Cold and Aloof Girl before him, making no effort to conceal his feelings as he softly said:

"Because I like it."

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi froze on the spot.

She stood there blankly as her perfect pretty face gradually turned red, Ye Changfeng's words echoing over and over in her mind...

Like it?

Like what?

Did he like her?!

Such a straightforward answer, practically a confession, left the Cold and Aloof Girl completely stunned. She stood there with a crimson face, even her delicate translucent earlobes flushing red...

Wuwuwu~

How was she supposed to reply to that?

She did not know how...

The Cold and Aloof Girl's little brain was about to burn out.

Her CPU was about to fry!

She was about to become a Human-Machine Girl!

Seeing this.

Ye Changfeng immediately could not help but laugh softly. Naiqi was really adorably strange—just one sentence had made her blush all over.

She was practically like a robot.

Ye Changfeng raised his hand lightly.

Boldly, he pinched Lu Xueqi's pretty cheek.

Her skin was delicate, smooth, and wonderfully springy.

It felt absolutely incredible. He really wanted to take a bite.

"You..."

The Human-Machine Girl finally came to her senses.

Her pretty face flushed even redder, and she instinctively took a step back. She glared at Ye Changfeng in embarrassment and irritation, yet, surprisingly, she did not feel the slightest bit of disgust in her heart...

If you wanted to talk, then talk!

Why did you have to put your hands on me?!

The Cold and Aloof Girl glared at Ye Changfeng indignantly.

However, just then, Ye Changfeng suddenly asked, "How are Senior Sister Lu's injuries?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Lu Xueqi abruptly recalled that night more than a month ago. During that assassination attempt, at her most desperate moment, it had been the youth before her who appeared at her side and pulled her out of despair...

At this moment.

The Green-robed Figure in Lu Xueqi's mind gradually overlapped with the youth before her.

He was tall and slender, upright and imposing. His black hair fell over his shoulders, his brows were sharp as swords and his eyes bright as stars. A faint smile rested on his handsome face, while brilliant light flickered within his deep eyes.

For a time, Lu Xueqi could not help but stare in fascination.

She gazed blankly at the youth before her, and the definition of her "future husband" had already become perfectly clear in her heart.

Not to mention...

he had always been her future husband.

And with that, it was a complete kill!

Ye Changfeng had first pinched Lu Xueqi, stirring up her emotions. Then, before giving her a chance to speak, he asked about her injuries and hit her with a wave of memories...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

A future husband descending from the heavens + a hero saving a beauty + an official moonlit meeting + an answer practically like a confession + stirring her emotions + a final nostalgic blow.

What did that equal?

1000% favorability!!!

Of course...

you could not just copy this tactic at random.

Because it depended heavily on your character model.
