Chapter 1077 — Scared Stiff
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
It was her first time, after all—it ought to be a little more proper, surely? If there were no conditions for it, then never mind, but the conditions were there, so of course she had to take a bath!
"If you're not dirty, why bathe?" Wei Zhao said mildly. "The makeup on your face—won't it all be wasted once you wash?"
"I... but you won't even... we could build up a little mood first..." Qiu Lingshan sounded rather aggrieved.
She had put on makeup because she wanted a candlelit dinner with Wei Zhao first, so naturally she had to pay attention to her appearance! The prettier she looked, the more Wei Zhao would be moved, and then the two of them would fall into each other's arms as naturally as water finding its channel, and kiss, and then Qiu Lingshan could say, Don't... let me take a bath first, and after the bath the two of them could tumble onto the bed as a matter of course...
It had to be said that Qiu Lingshan's plan was fairly flawless—except that she had it entirely wrong, a hundred thousand miles from what Wei Zhao was thinking.
"Build up a mood? Since when does raising your strength require building up a mood?" Wei Zhao was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever heard such a thing.
Looking at Qiu Lingshan's shy, blushing face, Wei Zhao suddenly understood something! Qiu Lingshan had most likely gotten the wrong idea!
In fact, when Qiu Lingshan had phoned him earlier and asked him to come here and help her raise her strength, she had more or less hinted at this meaning; only at the time Wei Zhao had not taken it seriously and had put it out of his mind. But today, with Qiu Lingshan behaving like this, it came back to him—her true purpose.
She hadn't asked him here hoping to use the same method as last time in the dungeon to raise her strength, had she? That really would be a bit too absurd!
Wei Zhao did not know what the Qiu family's inherited inner-energy cultivation art was like, only that it was somewhat peculiar; but he absolutely did not believe that little Miss Song could level up again just by thinking of a man while touching herself! As for the last time she advanced, perhaps Qiu Lingshan had already touched the barrier of the next stage, and so under those circumstances had inexplicably broken through!
But to say that one could simply advance by such a thing—Wei Zhao would never believe it! Others trained bitterly their whole lives and might never make the slightest progress, and Qiu Lingshan touched herself for a while and broke through? That joke was not funny at all!
"Of course... it's my first time, after all..." Qiu Lingshan's face reddened slightly; she watched Wei Zhao's expression carefully, afraid he would get angry and walk off.
Qiu Lingshan was somewhat annoyed. According to the files she had gathered, Wei Zhao ought to be a great philanderer, beauties surrounding him on every side—he had a girlfriend, Tang Zhi, yet he also had most unusual relations with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
And today she had dressed herself up with care, hoping to attract Wei Zhao, but to her surprise he seemed not the least bit attracted... which left Qiu Lingshan deeply conflicted. Was she really so unappealing?
"It's fine, it's not my first time." Wei Zhao said mildly. Thinking of her misunderstanding, a sudden mischievous streak rose in him, and he decided to tease little Miss Song.
In truth, Wei Zhao more often preferred the little tigress she used to be; bickering with her was rather amusing.
"Ah... it's not your first time? Then your first time was?" Qiu Lingshan was slightly startled. She had assumed Wei Zhao was also a first-timer, but now it seemed he was not! So was his first time with Tang Zhi?
"My first time was with myself," Wei Zhao said mildly.
In fact, the first person Wei Zhao had helped raise their strength had indeed been himself!
