Staring at Qian Qingxue's perfect face, Wu Qingkong was so stunned that he could not utter a single word.

He had imagined that Xiao He's older sister would be beautiful.

But he had never imagined that she would be so ethereally beautiful.

Wu Qingkong froze.

He simply lay quietly in Qian Qingxue's arms.

After sensing that Wu Qingkong's breathing had steadied, Qian Qingxue finally let out a sigh of relief.

Only then did she notice.

Wu Qingkong's head was resting on her lap.

This was the first time she had ever been in such an intimate position with a boy...

A blush spread from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears...

Wu Qingkong noticed it as well and hurriedly forced himself to stand.

"Sorry. If I'd known you were Qinghe's sister..."

"I wouldn't have stopped you by force."

"Um, since you saw me, why did you run?!"

"Xiao He said..."

"Was there something about me that you didn't like?"

Wu Qingkong's heart began to pound wildly.

The moment he first saw Qian Qingxue, he had already been drawn to her.

It was not simply because of her beauty. Wu Qingkong always felt that Qian Qingxue carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the closer he got to her, the more obvious that feeling became.

That familiarity gave him an inexplicable sense of peace.

Wu Qingkong did not know the answer, so he attributed it to liking her...

"Was this the legendary love at first sight?"

Wu Qingkong waited for Qian Qingxue's answer, his eyes fixed tightly on her face.

He was truly afraid that Qian Qingxue would nod and admit it.

Upon hearing this, Qian Qingxue immediately lowered her head.

"Yes..."

She lightly nodded, but the moment she saw the blazing look in Wu Qingkong's eyes, tears instantly filled her own.

You bastard, I really want to beat you up!

Why did you go and break off the engagement?!

At last, after nodding for an instant, Qian Qingxue gently shook her head again.

"No, I was just too nervous."

"I only wanted to pass by and take a look..."

"It was too late, and I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

Upon hearing that, a smile bloomed across Wu Qingkong's lips.

"What a relief. I nearly thought I'd been rejected."

Wu Qingkong hurriedly said excitedly.

"It's, it's okay!"

"I-I... I'm not sleepy at all."

"Um, do you... want to come to my place? I made lots of delicious food for your younger brother!"

"It's so late, and you've flown for so long. You-you must be hungry too, right?!"

Even Wu Qingkong himself did not realize that, because of his nerves, he had begun to stammer.

Before he had even finished speaking, Wu Qingkong pulled out item after item of food from his soul tool as if performing a magic trick.

Grilled fish, fries, fried chicken, and more...

Very quickly, the ground nearby was covered with all kinds of food.

After knowing Wu Qingkong for so long, this was the first time Qian Qingxue had seen him so stammering and flustered.

Thinking of that stern, rigid blockhead who was usually as wooden as an idiot, and how he now looked like this...

Qian Qingxue could not help but smile.

Her laughter was as crisp and pleasant as silver bells.

After laughing, Qian Qingxue felt utterly relaxed.

The anger from having her engagement broken off vanished in an instant.

Wu Qingkong reached out and handed her a grilled fish.

"Hurry and eat. Your younger brother especially likes the grilled fish I make."

"I wonder if he brought any home for you to try."

"Come on, try my cooking!"

Qian Qingxue did not hesitate and took a direct bite.

It was still that familiar taste, with tender flesh and a faint charred fragrance.

For a moment, it made Qian Qingxue forget all about having her engagement broken off.

She began to feast heartily.

Watching the girl eat in front of him, Wu Qingkong simply stood quietly to the side and watched...

"As expected of siblings. They eat exactly the same way..."

Qian Qingxue had her head lowered as she ravenously ate and ate.

You bastard, you actually dared to break off the engagement with me. I'll eat you poor!

I'll eat you into bankruptcy!

You spent this young lady's money and then broke off the engagement with me!

I'll eat until you cry!

Time passed second by second as Wu Qingkong watched Qian Qingxue eat.

"She looks so adorable when she eats!"

"She eats so much. Why doesn't she get fat?"

Wu Qingkong fell into confusion.

This time, Wu Qingkong had taken out a great deal of food. No matter how much Qian Qingxue could eat, she still could not finish it all.

She gently patted her stomach.

"That was amazing. It's the first time I've eaten enough of your food. Before, I never got to eat much before you stopped me?!"

"Before?"

"Isn't this our first time meeting?"

Qian Qingxue hurriedly corrected herself. "I mean, my younger brother brought it back for me. I thought it was delicious, but he wouldn't let me eat it."

Upon hearing that, Wu Qingkong immediately came to a realization.

"So that's how it was!"

But soon, Wu Qingkong seemed to suddenly remember something and took a golden chrysanthemum from his soul tool.

It was the peerless immortal herb he had retrieved earlier from the Icefire Yin Yang Well, the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

"This is a gift I prepared for your younger brother. After eating this immortal herb, it can improve the strength of the body and cultivate an Indestructible Vajra Body."

"Your younger brother's body is too frail. This immortal herb is perfect for him."

"But you need to be careful too. This flower shares the same origin as Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Elder."

"Be careful not to let Chrysanthemum Douluo see it."

Otherwise, he would very likely try to seize it. Qian Qingxue was filled with shock upon hearing this.

There was actually such an immortal herb in the world? Its effects were far too heaven-defying, weren't they?

As for what he said afterward, she automatically ignored it.

Even if Chrysanthemum Douluo had twice the courage, he would not dare snatch anything from her.

Qian Qingxue immediately accepted the immortal herb.

"Thank you."

Looking at Wu Qingkong's somewhat pale face, then at the immortal herb in her hand...

Qian Qingxue seemed to think of something and asked in surprise.

"Did you... get injured because you went to obtain this immortal herb?"

"Yes and no."

Wu Qingkong told her about how he had obtained the immortal herb.

When Qian Qingxue heard that Wu Qingkong's injuries had been caused by releasing snake venom to detoxify himself.

Qian Qingxue grew somewhat angry.

"How could Dugu Bo do something like that?"

"Do you want me to call someone to teach him a little lesson?"

Wu Qingkong stopped Qian Qingxue.

"No. Senior Dugu is not bad by nature. Qingxue, even without this incident, my wounds would have acted up."

"There is a strand of Shura Divine Power within me. My grandfather left it behind, and one day, it will erupt. I have to resolve it eventually."

"When I have time, I only need to retrieve the Shura Divine Sword and calm the Shura Divine Power within me."

Qian Qingxue nodded after hearing that.

"All right..."

Then, after hesitating again and again, Qian Qingxue secretly clenched her small fist, as though she had made up her mind, and asked Wu Qingkong.

"Did you go break off an engagement some time ago?!"

"Was the person whose engagement you broke off named Qian Renxue?!"

"Did you... not like her?!"

As her words fell, Qian Qingxue suddenly grew somewhat nervous.
