He couldn't help but feel his blood boil with excitement, and the anticipation on his face was obvious.

After all, for a woman as ethereal as Zuo Qingyue, the secrets of such a person are bound to pique one's curiosity!

The mysterious woman responded lazily, "I can't guarantee it, but I can try. However, there will be risks!"

"What are the risks?" Qin Qi couldn't help but ask.

The mysterious woman smiled and said, "Don't let my identity be discovered."

Qin Qi's lips twitched, "You really dare to say it. For such a risky thing, you better not try it easily!"

Just while he was deep in thought!

At this moment, the driver arranged by Han Siqi drove up to Qin Qi, "Mr. Qin, where shall we go..."

Qin Qi gave the address to the driver.

Upon hearing the address, the driver was obviously taken aback, not expecting Qin Qi to go to such a remote location.

However, he didn't say much and quickly took Qin Qi towards the destination.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than half an hour later.

Qin Qi followed Zuo Qingyue's address to a small creek on the outskirts of Su City.

This was precisely the location Zuo Qingyue had given!

The area around the creek was empty, aside from some disorganized stones, and didn't seem like a place where anyone could live.

This made Qin Qi frown, a bit skeptical whether the address Zuo Qingyue gave him was correct.

"Can anyone live in such a desolate place?" Qin Qi rubbed his temples.

He looked around and couldn't help but call out, "Miss Zuo?"

"Miss Zuo!!"

There was no response around him.

Just as he was thinking he had been fooled by Zuo Qingyue.

Suddenly, not far away, the figure of a woman dressed in a white Taoist robe appeared as if she descended from heaven, appearing out of nowhere.

She seemed to be born out of thin air.

Her entire being radiated an untainted celestial aura, making it hard to imagine that she was a real person of this world.

Because not only was she astonishingly beautiful, but her otherworldly demeanor also sparked a thought in Qin Qi's mind.

"Can I truly conquer her?"

Zuo Qingyue noticed Qin Qi's arrival, and a slight hint of surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.

She opened her red lips and asked in an astonished tone, "It hasn't been long. Did you... break through to a true human?"

When Qin Qi saw Zuo Qingyue again, he kept his gaze fixed on her face.

Unfortunately, she didn't blush upon seeing him, as he had hoped.

It seems conquering Zuo Qingyue is no simple task.

But he still replied, "Yes, that's right. I reached the level of a true human about half a month ago."

Zuo Qingyue's eyes lingered with astonishment because Qin Qi's rate of improvement was unbelievably faster than hers and her senior brother's!

However, she maintained a calm facade, "How do you feel after reaching the level of a true human?"

Qin Qi took a deep breath and spoke sincerely, "I thought reaching the level of a true human would make me calmer when meeting Miss Zuo again. But I was wrong; no matter when I see you, Miss Zuo, my heart always races uncontrollably!"

Hearing this, Zuo Qingyue's eyes visibly wandered for a moment, then she snorted, "Even if you've reached the level of a true human, you still spout sweet lies!"

Qin Qi looked at her directly.

"Miss Zuo, every word I say is sincere, without any false pretenses. I can even swear to it under the name of a true human!"

He knew, dealing with a powerful yet pure woman like Zuo Qingyue.

The strategy was to charm her!

Clearly, under Qin Qi's barrage of sweet words, Zuo Qingyue was a bit overwhelmed.

She hurriedly changed the subject, "Enough, what did you come looking for me this time? And don't call me Miss Zuo, it's awkward, just call me Miss Zuo!"

Qin Qi saw Zuo Qingyue becoming a bit shy and chuckled, "Miss Zuo, I don't see any place for people to live here; where's your home? Can you take me to see it?"

Zuo Qingyue thought for a moment, did not refuse, and said, "Follow me then!"

Qin Qi followed behind her.

Shortly, Zuo Qingyue led him to a small mountain.

Within this mountain, there was a cave entrance.

Qin Qi entered and found that the space inside the cave was about a dozen meters in size.

There was a stone table and bed that appeared to have been carved out by someone. Aside from these, the entire cave was organized and spotless.

This made Qin Qi think of the term "cave estate" in novels.

Qin Qi asked in surprise, "Is this where Miss Zuo... no, Miss Zuo usually lives?"

"What about it?" Zuo Qingyue responded truthfully.

"Can anyone actually live here?" Qin Qi was a bit speechless.

Zuo Qingyue stood gracefully, responding gently, "If the heart is calm, any place can be a place to rest; if the heart is at peace, any place can be home!"

"If you can maintain inner tranquility without excessive distractions, your strength will also increase rapidly."

Qin Qi grinned and said, "I can maintain a tranquil mind most of the time. It's just when encountering Miss Zuo, I find it hard to do so!"

Zuo Qingyue's figure paused, her tone softened, "Why are you always so troubled because of me, do I... have something special about me?"

Qin Qi knew his opportunity had come.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't resist sweet words.

He immediately followed her words, "I don't know either. In school, there were quite a few beauties, but it's only when I see Miss Zuo that I feel flustered."

"It always feels like meeting a fairy, and I don't have much experience with emotions..."

"Sometimes I often ponder, wondering if this is what they call liking!"

Even with Qin Qi's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush when saying he had no experience with emotions.

This blush made Zuo Qingyue's delicate body tremble, clearly feeling her heart race.

Zuo Qingyue bit her red lips, turned her face away immediately, seemingly afraid Qin Qi would see her slightly flushed face!

Though she was aware many people had strange looks towards her, it was the first time someone mentioned liking to her!

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became quiet.

Qin Qi wanted to see Zuo Qingyue's expression and complexion to determine whether he had a chance!

But unexpectedly, the surrounding air became inexplicably cold.

Then, Zuo Qingyue turned her head, scolding emotionlessly, "Qin Qi, I advise you not to spout nonsense like this in the future, or else..."

Qin Qi didn't expect just mentioning liking would cause such a drastic reaction from Zuo Qingyue.

But he suddenly wanted to take a gamble!

He bet that Zuo Qingyue's heart was actually in turmoil!

A woman untainted by worldly affairs, flustered upon hearing another's declaration of affection!

Such a reaction was merely an emergency response to her inner chaos!

He remained unfazed, instead facing Zuo Qingyue's indifference head-on, "Or else what?"

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" Zuo Qingyue said coldly.

Qin Qi mustered his courage, internally shouting, "Go for it." Then he responded directly, "Then go ahead, Miss Zuo, don't be polite!"
