Chapter 126: I’ll Wait For You Tonight
“What are you nervous about? What did I do? Damn, am I that kind of person? Clearly, it was you who was thinking about it in your heart, yet you blame me, just that one time…”
Before he finished speaking, Qian Renxue’s face turned red, and she directly interrupted him.
“Don’t say it, if you dare tell what happened that one time, I’ll fight you to the death…”
No matter what Ling Mo said, Qian Renxue could ignore it, but just that one time, as soon as it was mentioned, she would definitely collapse.
“Hehe, if you want me not to mention it, that’s fine, but you have to do as I say…”
Ling Mo tried hard to hold back his laughter; he had already grasped her vital point. No matter what, she didn’t dare to refute him.
Speaking of which, the story behind this was quite profound.
To ensure Ling Mo would keep his mouth shut, Qian Renxue hesitated and fidgeted, but still sat down next to Ling Mo.
At this time, the movement outside had quieted down a lot; it seemed the onlookers had mostly dispersed, leaving only the guard team still there.
“That’s more like it! Crown Prince? Your Highness…”
As he spoke, Ling Mo directly pulled her chair toward himself, and she almost leaned entirely against Ling Mo.
At close range, a faint refreshing fragrance assaulted his nose.
“Get to the point!”
Qian Renxue kept a cold face, trying hard to suppress her temperament.
Sometimes she really wanted to go all out and fight Ling Mo desperately, but… once she went all out, the secret of her identity would no longer be safe.
Before finding a way to deal with Ling Mo’s miraculous Five-Colored Divine Light, she didn’t dare to act.
After all… his Martial Soul was simply too outrageous!
No matter what Soul Skill you unleashed, he would take it all away completely, leaving not a shred of power behind.
“Hehe, weren’t you acting very stubborn before? How come you’re chickening out now? Come on, chop me with your Angel’s Sacred Sword…”
Ling Mo said this almost right next to Qian Renxue’s ear, because there were still many people outside eavesdropping.
He temporarily had no intention of exposing her identity, because Ling Mo needed an opportunity, and Spirit Hall was precisely such an opportunity.
As long as war exploded, Ling Mo could rise with the momentum.
The so-called mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind! Ling Mo was determined to be that oriole, therefore… he wouldn’t expose Qian Renxue’s secret.
However… not exposing it didn’t mean Ling Mo would let her off; teasing the Angel was actually a very thrilling thing.
She frowned and said softly: “Don’t think I’m afraid of you. If you really push me too far, worst case we both die…”
“Both die? You say that as if you could actually kill me…”
“Do you really think there’s a Soul Skill in this world with no solution? I indeed can’t do anything to you right now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have a way to deal with you forever…”
“Is that so? I’m really looking forward to it then…”
In their two clashes, Qian Renxue hadn’t gained the slightest advantage; if she truly had a way, she wouldn’t have waited until today.
The reason she said this was just to deter Ling Mo a bit, but it had no effect at all.
Qian Renxue coldly stared at Ling Mo, unable to figure out why this man, who looked so much younger than her, had such a mature disposition?
Over these years, she had seen plenty of geniuses, but never one who could handle everything so flawlessly; Ling Mo was exactly that exception.
“I think we need to have a talk. What do you want me to do so you’ll keep this secret?”
“As long as you don’t tell anyone, anything within my power, I can satisfy you.”
Encountering Ling Mo was the thing Qian Renxue regretted most in her life. With no other choice, the only option was to satisfy him as much as possible.
“Really, anything at all?”
Suddenly, Ling Mo’s eyes lit up.
At this gleam, Qian Renxue’s face instantly turned red! This look was all too familiar…
Unknowingly, she recalled the events of that night again.
She pursed her lips, steeled her resolve, nodded, and said: “Yes, as long as you promise not to tell, I’ll satisfy any condition you have…”
She struggled inwardly, but… it seemed like another one-sided wish.
Ling Mo couldn’t quite understand; for a covert mission, could she really go so far as to sacrifice herself?
What kind of willpower was that?
Ling Mo knew Qian Renxue must have guessed what he wanted.
He could tell from her eyes, but… what left Ling Mo baffled was that she actually agreed?
What kind of move was this?
Ling Mo could swear he really wasn’t that kind of person; the reason he teased Qian Renxue was just for his own mischievousness.
Now, Ling Mo couldn’t back down!
“You agreed before even knowing what I want?”
To confirm even more whether Qian Renxue understood, Ling Mo followed up with a question.
Who knew, Qian Renxue, with a flushed face, said very seriously: “What else could you be thinking of besides those dirty things?”
“Damn, what do you take me for? That time, it was clearly you who made the first move…”
“You still say that? If you hadn’t started teasing first…”
Ling Mo brought up that time again, and Qian Renxue immediately cried out, feeling more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
“What do you have to feel aggrieved about? Clearly, I was the victim… Now it’s turned around to be my fault?”
At these words, Qian Renxue instantly fell silent; at the time… it did seem to be the case.
She didn’t know how to refute! Was she supposed to tell him she was a girl, so she was the one who lost out more?
“I’ll take responsibility, alright?”
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and steeled herself to say it.
Ling Mo himself wasn’t bad off, with perverted talent and good looks; though he had a bit of a rogue vibe, he was indeed a pretty good partner candidate.
She seemed to have made a huge resolution.
“You think one sentence of ‘I’ll take responsibility’ can brush me off? Is that the attitude of taking responsibility?”
Ling Mo feigned anger on the surface, but inside he was thrilled beyond measure!
This was the number one beauty of Douluo after all…
“What more do you want? I’m not holding our previous grudge against you anymore; aren’t you satisfied?”
Qian Renxue was almost in tears!
She couldn’t beat him, and she couldn’t hide from him!
Whenever she ran into this guy, nothing good came of it.
During this time, she had thought about it a lot upon returning!
That night, it really wasn’t Ling Mo’s fault; they were hiding in the bookshelf, so contact was inevitable! And Ling Mo had only kissed her once.
But for that one kiss, she had already gotten her revenge, chasing Ling Mo everywhere twice, and her anger had mostly dissipated.
However… now it wasn’t her settling scores with Ling Mo anymore; it was Ling Mo’s turn to settle scores with her.
Back then, during their prolonged contact, Ling Mo had accidentally touched some of her sensitive parts from time to time, leading to her later indescribable behavior.
For a girl, how could she ever say such a thing out loud?
If she did, what would people say about her? The lofty Saintess of Spirit Hall, actually being so…
“Mm… your secret, I won’t tell anyone, don’t worry about that! Because… we share the same goal…
However, if you really want to make it up to me, I’ll be waiting for you at the Night Curtain Hotel tonight. I think… we need to have a good talk…”
Ling Mo increasingly wanted to laugh; he’d roamed the world for so many years, yet this was the first time he’d suffered such a big loss—how could he not get his revenge?
That night, Ling Mo truly hadn’t done anything; he’d explained it already, but no one believed him.
But… him not doing anything didn’t mean Qian Renxue hadn’t done anything.
