Qin Chuan smiled, "Where shall we talk? Come to my place."
The woman gave him a light, indifferent glance, devoid of joy or sorrow, yet still possessing a hint of her own allure.
Perhaps she herself didn't recognize it as allure, but for some reason, Qin Chuan just felt a sense of comfort; this subtle feeling was pleasant and intimate.
In her, Qin Chuan saw a trace of Chu Shiqingzhu, Tantai Huangqing, and Yu Luoqing.
Of course, he knew this woman wasn't them; she didn't look like them, and her temperament was different, but it was that feeling.
"Come with me!"
The woman said, walking forward. Under the night sky, she moved with light, graceful steps, her movements barely touching the ground, just a hair's breadth away.
This flowing grace, though dressed simply, still possessed the elegance and charm of a moonlit fairy, her robes fluttering.
Qin Chuan didn't hide his admiration, appreciating her figure, but his gaze held no greed or desire, only pure admiration.
Everyone says beautiful scenery is captivating, but the most beautiful scenery in the world is people. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and for men, the most beautiful scenery is women.
On a smaller scale, it's about human nature, the instinctive needs of the body and soul; on a larger scale, it's about the principles of Yin and Yang, the origin of all things.
The woman naturally felt Qin Chuan's gaze, and even glanced back at him, but Qin Chuan didn't even blink, which only fueled her suspicions.
However, seeing Qin Chuan's gaze didn't anger her. No matter what, this person hadn't reached the point of disgust; in fact, she felt a little curious, a strange sense of liking.
This liking was peculiar; she didn't know when it appeared, and even after careful thought, she couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.
A formation? Not entirely, but there was definitely a reason. Good looks? She herself didn't believe it; she had never considered that possibility.
Unconsciously, they had reached the top of a small mountain. The mountaintop was very small; the path could probably only fit an eight-immortal table and four chairs.
There were three cliffs on each side, and only one side had a stone wall as tall as a person.
The mountaintop was smooth as a mirror, spotless. Qin Chuan leaned against the stone wall, sat down, and gestured for the woman to sit as well.
The woman hesitated for a second or two before sitting down beside Qin Chuan, though there was a half-foot distance between them.
A faint fragrance carried on the gentle mountain breeze carried away Qin Chuan's worries. The bright moon, the mountaintop, the beautiful woman.
A smile played on Qin Chuan's lips as he squinted at the twinkling starry night sky. Life was lonely, especially for a powerful martial artist.
People say ordinary life isn't exciting, but that kind of ordinary life—staying with wife and children, a family reunion, facing life together—is good.
Qin Chuan felt that was good. Martial artists, powerful martial artists, possess great strength. Yes, they often enjoy more than ordinary people.
But they also pay a higher price, face greater hardships and dangers, and most importantly, often face loneliness.
Like Qin Chuan, he felt he hadn't truly felt at peace in one place for a very long time.
"You're really brave, aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?" the woman said, sitting beside Qin Chuan and also looking at the distant night sky.
Qin Chuan turned to look at the woman. Beautiful. He didn't know how else to describe it. Her flawless face, unique aura, and perfectly alluring figure were simply stunning. Beautiful, very beautiful, pleasing to the eye, a pleasure to look at.
"You won't hit me," Qin Chuan smiled.
"Oh, so sure?" The woman smiled playfully, looking at Qin Chuan.
Their eyes were very close, probably only a little over a foot apart. Her beautiful eyes were more beautiful than the moon in the night sky, almost making Qin Chuan swoon.
*Smack!*
The woman reached out and tapped Qin Chuan on the forehead.
Qin Chuan rubbed his temples: "You actually hit me? That's too rough."
"Alright, tell me. I know you have abilities, but I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me. I want to know if you can cooperate with me," the woman said.
Qin Chuan nodded: "Sure, you know about the previous amplification. Now feel it again."
Array God Position!
The amplification of the Array God Position was stronger than the Holy Buddha Five Elements Array, and it could overlap, so Qin Chuan activated the Holy Buddha Five Elements Array again.
The double amplification stunned the woman. She was already surprised by just one array position, but now she had an array divine position—even stronger, and capable of stacking! The effect left her speechless with astonishment.
Next, Qin Chuan removed the array divine position and the Holy Buddha Five Elements Array, unleashing a Divine Eye Immortal Might that weakened the woman's entire strength by 20%.
The usually calm and collected woman now looked at Qin Chuan as if she were seeing something unbelievable.
Qin Chuan blushed, slightly closed his eyes, and slowly moved closer.
*Smack!*
The woman tapped Qin Chuan again. Actually, Qin Chuan had been squinting, slowly approaching, waiting for the woman to stop him. If she didn't stop him, he would have stopped anyway.
It's said that the fastest way to get close between men and women, whether it's friendship or a relationship, is through unconventional means.
Qin Chuan was doing just that. His actions seemed reckless, but they were all within control, and he had perfectly measured the degree of intimacy.
After all, this woman was different; if he hadn't handled it well, it would have backfired. Qin Chuan had progressed step by step from the beginning to this point to achieve this.
"You've been teased!" The woman wasn't angry; in fact, she even smiled faintly, having not felt this relaxed in a long time.
This time, Qin Chuan's seemingly reckless behavior hadn't left a bad impression; in fact, it had made the woman even more impressed with him.
"Don't show off your abilities so easily in the future, hmm, don't show them all," the woman said softly.
Qin Chuan smiled: "Hmm, I understand, but I showed them all to you."
"What are you trying to say?" The woman looked at Qin Chuan with a hint of annoyance, and unknowingly, the feeling between them seemed to have changed a little.
It was as if they were old friends, hmm, even better than ordinary friends.
"Nothing, do you think you're pretty?" Qin Chuan asked.
This nonsensical question startled the woman, but she nodded: "Pretty!"
"Hmm, so narcissistic?"
"Alright, let's go, let's go back!" the woman said, standing up.
"Let's go, you can actually learn to make yourself happier," Qin Chuan said casually, then walked ahead.
The woman had been in front on the way here, and Qin Chuan had watched her all the way.
Now, heading back, Qin Chuan walked ahead at a leisurely pace, with the woman behind him. She looked at Qin Chuan, but had a vague, inexplicable feeling about him.
Novelty, curiosity, strangeness, originality, subtlety, wanting to laugh, warmth... a mix of feelings, yet I kind of like this feeling...
