A Drastic Change in Temperament

Qian Ye arrived at the back of the mansion and sat down under a tree on the hillside. 💢😝 ♝🍪

Xue Mei followed him in small steps and sat down beside him, but her eyes were fixed ahead, not daring to look at his face.

In his presence, she lacked confidence in herself, even though she felt excellent in every way, she didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.

"What level are you at now?" Qian Ye's voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"Oh." She hadn't expected Qian Ye to ask that, and felt that her own strength was far inferior to his—they were worlds apart. "Third-Tier Alchemist, Three-Star Dou Ling."

Qian Ye nodded. "Actually, you can still advance further. At least reach the Fifth-Tier Apothecary level, and I think becoming Dou Huang shouldn't be a problem."

"This... Your Excellency, what are you saying? How could I possibly have reached the level of Fifth-Tier Alchemist, Dou Huang?"

"It's impossible for you, but it's different if I help you," Qian Ye said calmly.

"Oh?" Xue Mei looked suspicious, still not quite believing Qian Ye's words.

"How about we start with a lesson?"

"The previous lesson?" Xue Mei looked at him, puzzled. She didn't understand what he meant, but something about the previous lesson seemed off. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something just felt off. ☢🐠 🎉🏆

"Miss Xue, you don't need to be nervous. I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. You can rest assured about that. I can guarantee it with my integrity. I will absolutely win people over with virtue!" Of course, winning people over with virtue is still based on strength.

If he didn't have the ability, Qian Ye probably wouldn't even be able to talk to her.

Although she was only a third-grade pharmacist, she was still a third-grade pharmacist, and she was also Frank's disciple. She had a certain influence in the Alchemist Association and was the president of the Black Rock City branch of the Alchemist Association. Although she was one grade lower than Elder Fu Yan and his disciple in the capital, Frank and his disciple were among the top in Black Rock City.

They were the kind of people who were neither the best nor the worst off; those above could look down on the master and apprentice, but...

Xue Mei stood up and walked ten feet away, stopping to look at Qian Ye, wondering what he was going to do next. But from this distance, what could he possibly do to her?

Just then, Qian Ye raised his right hand and extended his index finger, pressing it down slightly towards her, who was ten feet away.

Ah~

Immediately, Xue Mei let out a soft moan and felt an invisible pressure pressing down on her, making it impossible for her to straighten her back.

What happened?

She didn't react for a moment, wondering where the gravity above her head was coming from. Then it suddenly dawned on her. She looked at Qian Ye. That's right, he was Dou Huang) level expert. He must have created this gravity. He was truly amazing. Dou Huang was indeed Dou Huang. Just sitting there, raising a finger, he could subdue her with the pressure of Dou Technique. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

Seeing the gaze Xue Mei cast at him, Qian Ye revealed a cunning and triumphant smile, "Well, Miss Xue, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

Seeing Qian Ye's sudden change in attitude, Xue Mei tensed up, realizing she might have been tricked. Otherwise, his smile wouldn't have suddenly become so cunning, malicious, and even lecherous, his eyes filled with desire. "I... I don't understand what you mean?"

Her face flushed, but her expression turned cold.

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?" Qian Ye pressed down on her index finger again, and the gravity immediately increased. Xue Mei let out another soft "Ah!" and couldn't withstand the pressure of gravity, so she knelt on the ground.

She struggled desperately, moving and resisting, unleashing her Dou Qi, but as a mere Three-Star Dou Ling, how could she be a match for him? She couldn't even withstand the weight of a finger.

He was too powerful, so powerful that I didn't even have the ability to resist.

"Well, now you know how powerful I am, right? If you agree to be with me now, you'll live a life of luxury with me from now on. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead today." Qian Ye said, his expression mocking, even a little lewd.

This made Xue Mei realize that her guess was correct; he was trying to force her into that kind of relationship with him!

He didn't have to do this, and I was willing to do it myself. I just didn't expect his true colors to show so early. I was blind. It turns out that all the kindness he showed me yesterday in the trading area and now was a trap, a trap to lure me into.

"Qian Ye, I never imagined you were this kind of person. On the surface, you're a handsome and refined gentleman, kind-hearted and gentle, but behind the scenes you're a beast in human clothing, a shameless scoundrel!" Xue Mei said excitedly.

Her eyes were red, and tears were already streaming down her face.

Xue Mei was very disappointed in him. The more she liked him before, the more she hated him now. This must be what they call love turning into hate.

Although she had only met Qian Ye a few times, she had already given him her heart. It was just that Qian Ye's image had suddenly collapsed in front of her, and it was normal that she couldn't accept it for a while.

Wahaha~

Qian Ye laughed upon hearing her words, bursting into arrogant laughter. "Xue Mei, you need to recognize your own strength. The weak have no right to negotiate with me. Someone like you, Three-Star Dou Ling, is easier to crush than an ant. Now I'll give you a chance. Take off your clothes, and I might let you suffer less. Otherwise, you won't even have a complete corpse."

Upon hearing his words, Xue Mei felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and two lines of tears immediately flowed from her eyes. Without waiting for Qian Ye to say anything more, she took off her clothes.

Qian Ye watched her movements and simply smiled, "Your skin is so fair, and you have a great figure, it's just a pity."

"What's a pity?" Xue Mei questioned.

Qian Ye: "Unfortunately, you're not my type. I have absolutely no interest in you."

Wahaha~

Qian Ye couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the laughter continued unabated.

When this reached Xue Mei's ears, it sounded like sarcasm and mockery.

Ah~

She was angry, very angry. She roared at the sky, then suddenly stood up, as if the weight on her head had disappeared.

"Damn it, go to hell! I'm going to kill you!" Xue Mei was furious to the extreme. She hadn't noticed anything and instinctively launched a counterattack, releasing her Dou Qi as she charged towards Qian Ye. She had only one thought: to perish together with him.

Even if I can't beat him, I still need to vent my anger.

Now, her anger had been completely ignited by Qian Ye.

He rushed forward and tackled Qian Ye headfirst into a thrashing.

No matter how angry or powerful she was, she was no match for Qian Ye.

Qian Ye didn't go all out against her; he just reacted to her moves, occasionally slapping her away.

Although Xue Mei was no match for him and was injured all over her body, she still got up after falling down, her anger still not subsided, showing a posture of "I will fight you to the end until I lie down".
