Seeing Jiang Xuan's serious expression, Qian Renxue confronted him for a moment before threatening him with feigned ferocity:
"You suddenly got so serious. Don't tell me I guessed right? Tell me, if I told your Sword Grandpa about this, what do you think her reaction would be?"
To Jiang Xuan, Qian Renxue's expression at that moment was incredibly punchable. For several moments, he truly wanted to pin this woman to the ground and give her a vicious beating to vent his anger.
But considering that his current Soul Power Level was still far below this woman's...
Forget it. He would endure it for now. Once he found an opportunity to convert all his Merit Points into his own Soul Power Level, he would settle today's grudge!
"If you want to tell her, go ahead. Do you think Sword Grandpa will believe me, the junior she watched grow up, or you, an outsider?"
At those words, Qian Renxue's expression stiffened. But after only two seconds, she broke into a smile.
"Hehe, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously~"
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan irritably shook off her hand and crossed his arms with a huff.
"You say it was a joke, and that makes it one? I took it seriously!"
After shrinking back into a smaller body, Qian Renxue had absolutely no psychological burden when it came to acting cute and coquettish, given her personality of doing whatever it took to achieve her goals.
She immediately stepped forward and hugged one of Jiang Xuan's arms, pressing herself close. As she rubbed against him, she spoke in a soft, syrupy voice.
"I really was just joking with you. Don't be mad anymore, okay? If you really can't calm down... how about you hit me a few times? I absolutely won't resist!"
