The Details Don't Matter

Lei Qi heard it clearly and turned to look at Yun Yun.

Yun Yun quickly lowered her head. Even with her head lowered, the rosy blush on her cheeks could not be concealed.

Lei Qi said nothing, merely watching Yun Yun as she buried her head between her knees. Two minutes passed like that before Yun Yun could no longer bear it and looked up at Lei Qi. "My battle qi is sealed. I'm just an ordinary person now, so of course I'd get hungry after so long~"

Looking at the "strength" in Yun Yun's moist eyes, Lei Qi smiled. "Did I say anything?"

"I..."

Yun Yun was speechless for a moment!

That was right, Lei Qi had not said anything.

But that teasing look in his eyes made her feel even worse than if he had said something!

Since childhood, when had she ever worried about food?

"So, do you want some?" Lei Qi did not know whether he was doing it deliberately, but he specifically held a roasted beast leg out before Yun Yun.

With a slight shake, its fragrance instantly filled Yun Yun's senses.

Yun Yun puffed out her cheeks and looked at him with those tearful eyes of hers. She looked adorable and especially pitiful.

Sure enough, as long as one had a perfect face, they could pull off all kinds of expressions.

"If you want to eat, just say so. Are you waiting for me to feed you?" Seeing Yun Yun like this, Lei Qi was in no hurry. After all, he was not the one going hungry.

"Grrr~~~"

Yun Yun had wanted to hold out a little longer, but an untimely sound soon came from her stomach again.

Her already flushed pretty face grew even hotter.

To her, this was simply too embarrassing.

"I want it!!"

Not wanting to embarrass herself any further, Yun Yun finally spoke.

Once those two words left her mouth, Yun Yun realized that it did not seem so difficult after all.

Then Lei Qi handed the roasted beast leg in his hand to her.

After Yun Yun took it, her moist eyes were filled with confusion. This seemed a little too easy, did it not? Shouldn't Lei Qi have said something at a time like this???

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you want it, of course I'll give it to you," Lei Qi said meaningfully.

Although Yun Yun felt that something was off, she could not be bothered to dwell on it right now.

Then, she began tasting Lei Qi's cooking.

Though she was hungry, Yun Yun still ate with elegance, her red lips moving slightly as she chewed slowly and carefully.

Lei Qi was not particularly hungry, but simply watching her did not seem right either, so he sliced off a piece of meat and began eating as well. Compared to her table manners, his were not worth mentioning.

Once the roasted meat entered her stomach, that feeling of hunger immediately vanished. Yun Yun pursed her red lips, stained with a little grease, and said in a very good mood, "Thank you."

"No need. Just give yourself to me in return," Lei Qi said casually after lifting his wine gourd and taking a gulp.

Naturally, Yun Yun could not accept his casual attitude. Yet she could not bring herself to accept kindness without repaying it. However, she seemed to have no reward that could move Lei Qi's heart.

"Can't you be more serious?" Yun Yun asked helplessly.

"I am very seriously telling you something very 'serious,'" Lei Qi said again.

"We don't even know each other. Why would you want to marry me?" Yun Yun asked again.

The two of them had clearly only met for the first time.

Even in this era, things could not possibly be so straightforward, could they?

Even people who were engaged like Nalan Yanran still needed time to get to know each other, did they not?

"But you're beautiful and have a great figure," Lei Qi said.

"You..."

Yun Yun grew even more unwilling upon hearing that. Did that not make it even clearer that Lei Qi merely coveted her body and had no feelings for her at all?

"People should be more realistic. I have exceptional talent, handsome looks, and a background far beyond anything your Cloud Sect can compare to. Given all that, if I take you as my woman, what do you have to be unhappy about?" Lei Qi continued.

If he said he wanted to marry her?

There was no need to even think about it, because his family would certainly never agree.

But for a beauty with good talent and looks capable of toppling a kingdom, asking her to become a concubine would definitely not work either.

So Lei Qi chose a more tactful approach.

Yun Yun did not catch Lei Qi's meaning, but after hearing what he said, she understood even less. "With your qualifications, how could I possibly be worthy of you?"

In the Cloud Sect, Yun Yun was absolutely someone countless people could only admire from afar, but Lei Qi's origins were clearly not simple.

Moreover, the Cloud Sect might truly amount to nothing in his eyes.

It was something she did not want to admit, yet had no choice but to admit. After all, across the entire Northwestern Continent, the Cloud Sect was merely a second-rate or third-rate force.

On the Northwestern Continent, only a faction with a Dou Zong could barely be considered first-rate. A faction led by a Dou Huang was second-rate.

Only within the Jia Ma Empire could it be considered a colossal force.

"That's why you need to cultivate diligently," Lei Qi said, following her words.

Yun Yun was about to agree, but then she suddenly realized that she had been led astray and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? I never agreed to marry you."

"Then after you leave, I'll go to the Jia Ma Empire and spread word that you, Yun Yun, lived with me in a cave for several days before abandoning your husband and child. Hmm, I think I could break that into parts and tell it for a year or so," Lei Qi said, pretending to ponder it.

"You scoundrel!"

Yun Yun was furious.

Could he really do something like that?

With a hook of his hand, Lei Qi pulled her before him. The moment they were inches apart, the faint fragrance naturally emanating from Yun Yun washed over him.

"Heh, if you keep slandering me, I wouldn't mind making that reputation real," Lei Qi said.

Other than before, when had Yun Yun ever been so intimately close to a man? Her pretty face immediately burned once more. Moreover, for some reason, her already soft body now seemed as soft as cotton.

Seeing this, Lei Qi thought, This woman really doesn't know she's playing with fire!

Still, seeing her react like this, Lei Qi slowly moved closer.

"N-No... mmh~"

Yun Yun wanted to say something, but this time, Lei Qi truly could not hold back anymore.

The process might have been wonderful, but there was only so much of this he could take.

Lei Qi had to admit that he was already sinking deeper and deeper.

Perhaps it was because he had never wanted to struggle free in the first place that he had fallen so deeply?

But this truly was not his fault. He had actually been willing to try having a relationship, but Yun Yun was simply too easily captivated.

In truth, Yun Yun still had her reason. After all, the seasonings Lei Qi had sprinkled over the roasted meat were all perfectly normal. The reason she was acting this way was entirely because she had gotten a little carried away~
