The Bottom-Level Romance Code of the Continent Had Kicked In
"I knew it..."
Wu Siduo didn't seem too surprised that Qi Ji had seen through her disguise; her tone was as calm as if she were stating a fact she had long accepted.
She stood in the moonlight, her white skirt billowing slightly in the sea breeze, her red hair gleaming with a muted sheen in the night.
"Miss Wu Siduo, the moonlight is perfect, and the sea breeze is gentle. Are you here to enjoy the scenery too?"
Qi Ji leaned against the railing, arms crossed, his tone carrying a relaxed laziness.
"Of course not... Who would have the leisure for something like you, coming to see the scenery?"
Wu Siduo immediately denied it, her brows furrowing slightly, as if the very act of saying "viewing the scenery" from Qi Ji's mouth was an irony.
"So what exactly happened?"
Qi Ji turned his head, his gaze passing over her and landing on the water surface that was being constantly ripped apart in front of the bow of the boat.
The ferry's bow cleaved through the waves, white spray churning to both sides, shattering into silvery fragments under the moonlight before being quickly swallowed by darkness.
"Oh... I understand."
Qi Ji suddenly feigned sudden realization, nodded, and spoke with the seriousness of someone solving a case, "Trying to kill someone to cover it up, right? After all, in the sea, destroying evidence is too easy. It's late at night, no one's on the deck, just push it down and that's it."
"How could that be... what grudge do we have?"
Wu Siduo was taken aback by his outrageous guess and couldn't help but glare at him. "Actually, I thought about it a bit after I got back..."
"Oh? What insights does Miss Wu Siduo have?"
Qi Ji tilted his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Is it possible that I simply wanted to touch her back then?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air, his five fingers clenching and then releasing, a frivolous gesture that made one want to punch him.
"I... have seen what happens to some people who challenge you."
Wu Siduo ignored his banter, her voice lowering as if she were speaking of something that required great courage, "Far away, there's that Yu Xiaogang, and that Shrek Academy team. They've almost all fallen apart... Dragon Clan Martial Soul Martial Soul after failing to challenge you. That Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon boy's Martial Soul directly transformed into Luo Sanpao, and he's basically crippled."
She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "I can't help but wonder... if that incident hadn't happened, would you have become my nightmare? A figure as dazzling as the sun, invincible strength, talent that instilled despair... You didn't even use your First Martial Soul; you simply defeated me with your Soul Power, even though I had used all my trump cards. How despairing... If you were viewed from the perspective of a powerful enemy, you would only seem like an insurmountable peak, wouldn't you?"
"Actually, even if you don't see it that way, I am a peak that you and even all of you cannot surpass," Qi Ji interjected, his tone as casual as if he were commenting on the nice weather.
"Don't interrupt!" Wu Siduo glared at him, her voice tinged with annoyance.
Qi Ji shrugged and gestured for him to continue.
Wu Siduo calmed herself down and continued, "At that moment... I remembered that you deliberately touched me back then. I know that by your side are the Golden Dragon Princess, the Silver Dragon Princess, and the Star Princess... A genius like you wouldn't need to make such a rude gesture to a girl you've just met. So I thought about it for a long time and concluded that you're not that kind of person."
"Is it possible... that I'm actually just a lecher?"
Qi Ji tried to explain further, "Dragons are inherently lustful. You should know that my bloodline is of a very high level. The purer the bloodline of True Dragon, the stronger its desires in that area. It's an instinct ingrained in its bones."
No... you don't need to explain.
Wu Siduo shook her head, a look of "I've seen through everything" appearing on her face, her gaze as firm as that of a famous detective who has solved all the mysteries.
Faced with Wu Siduo, whose thoughts had been completely corrupted by Di, Qi Ji was too lazy to explain anything.
Since she insists on thinking that way, let her think that way.
Anyway, it won't do you any harm—a girl who thinks you're trying to help her but actually just took advantage of her is much easier to deal with than a girl who knows you're just being a pervert and will hold a grudge against you for life.
"Alright... Now that we've finished asking the questions, Miss Wu Siduo, is there anything else?"
Qi Ji straightened up, stretched, and made a move to walk towards the cabin.
"I'd like to challenge you one more time."
After a while, Wu Siduo slowly opened her mouth, her voice much softer than before, but each word was pronounced very clearly.
"No way? Big sister..."
Qi Ji stopped and turned around, his expression as if he had heard an unbelievable request. "Aren't you just asking for trouble? You just got beaten up, and now you want to beat me up again? Have you awakened some strange attribute?"
"I just wanted to see your full strength..."
Wu Siduo bit her lip, her tone carrying a stubborn resentment.
Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms, as if she were using pain to suppress the tremor in her voice.
"Can you defeat Titled Douluo?" Qi Ji suddenly asked, the topic changing abruptly.
"What? Titled Douluo... Are you kidding me?"
Wu Siduo blurted it out unconsciously, then looked at Qi Ji with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.
"I can."
Qi Ji spoke simply, his tone as calm as if he were saying, "I've already eaten today."
Wu Siduo was stunned.
That's indeed the case. Qi Ji can now hold his own against ordinary Titled Douluo. He can defeat Titled Douluo with Beast Martial Soul; he can also defeat Super Douluo with Dragon Martial Soul.
This is him, Qi Ji, who possesses the Dragon God Crown Prince Martial Soul. His suppression of these lower-ranking Dragon Clan is absolute—it's a crushing defeat in terms of bloodline rank, even more insurmountable than the difference in Soul Power Level.
"I'll show you my true strength when you can defeat Titled Douluo."
Qi Ji turned around and walked towards the cabin, his shadow stretching long in the moonlight.
As he walked, he raised his right hand and waved it without turning his head, as if dismissing a clingy child. "Stop thinking about challenging this or that, hone yourself first."
She watched Qi Ji's figure gradually disappear behind the cabin door, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Titled Douluo.
Only by defeating Titled Douluo can one earn his serious attention.
Is the difference really that big?
But... it's really tempting.
Wu Siduo couldn't help but cover her chest.
