Boarding Life

Ming Lan heard these words, her delicate body slightly trembling.

As an unmarried young maiden, being suddenly asked such a question by a man naturally led her heart to wander into various thoughts.

However, she quickly responded, "If being a noble lady from a distinguished family, matters of marriage are naturally not something one can decide on their own!"

"But my status in the family isn’t that high, so when it comes to marriage, I suppose I can have some say in it!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi suddenly realized.

It seems just like outside the Secret Realm.

Qin Qi grinned and asked, "Then... Sister Ming Lan, you’re still unmarried, do you have someone you fancy?"

"Not really," Ming Lan slightly parted her red lips.

Qin Qi chuckled, "Sister Ming Lan, what kind of person do you want to find in the future?"

Ming Lan was taken aback, "I haven’t thought about this, Junior Qin Qi. Why did you suddenly bring this up!"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Qi gradually stood up.

Then, he brazenly sat right beside Ming Lan.

He took a light sniff.

The girl’s fragrant scent gradually entered his nostrils.

This made Ming Lan’s pretty face blush to the extreme, like a ripe apple.

"Junior Qin Qi, you, you are..."

Qin Qi grinned, "Sister Ming Lan, then what do you think about me?"

"W-What about you?" Ming Lan’s heartbeat quickened, like a deer running wild.

Qin Qi leaned closer, his face very near to Ming Lan’s, "Of course, as one of the conditions for choosing a husband, what do you think? Am I suitable?"

He knew very well.

Ming Lan, as a female cultivator within the Secret Realm, was still unmarried and had a very straightforward emotion.

For dealing with such naive and playful women, persistent pursuit is important.

With such a method, as long as they don’t have any feelings of dislike for you, everything can be easily handled!

As he spoke, he stared unblinkingly at his counterpart.

Trying to perceive Ming Lan’s inner activities through the subtle fluctuations in her eyes.

From this glance, he could easily deduce that Ming Lan was already somewhat flustered, but she hadn’t pushed him away.

This meant that physically, she wasn’t repulsed by him.

Just this point indicated that Ming Lan could be "conquered."

Ming Lan was already extremely nervous, "Junior Qin Qi, I-I still don’t understand what you mean!"

Qin Qi chuckled, "Sister Ming Lan, don’t you understand yet? Can’t you tell? I like you!"

Ming Lan’s pupils narrowed.

Though she wasn’t short of admirers and suitors, there was never anyone who expressed their admiration so simply and honestly.

She forced a smile, "Junior Qin Qi, you must be joking!"

"I’m not joking!"

Qin Qi’s corners of his mouth turned upwards, "In fact, from the moment I saw Sister Ming Lan, I felt a liking for her. On the battlefield, we shared hardships and advanced together. Sister Ming Lan is not only extraordinarily beautiful, but has a kind heart."

"However, back then my cultivation was not as good as Sister Ming Lan’s, so even though I had feelings of admiration, I didn’t dare express them!"

"But now it’s different. I’ve improved my cultivation, hence I gathered some courage!"

These words entered Ming Lan’s ears, causing her eyes to widen.

She naturally felt bewildered.

But if pressed, she didn’t dislike Qin Qi.

After all, Qin Qi had previously saved her life. Moreover, in terms of talent, he surpassed her.

Indeed, marrying him would, in both sentiment and reason, be a good thing!

Seeing Ming Lan’s expression, Qin Qi laughed.

Ming Lan is contemplating...

Qin Qi continued, "So, Sister Ming Lan, I want you to be my woman!"

Ming Lan took a deep breath.

After pondering for a while, she hurriedly stood, flustered, "Qin Qi, y-you’re too fast. I-I’m not psychologically prepared yet!"

"Moreover, how can something like this be decided so simply?"

Qin Qi scratched his ear, "Sister Ming Lan knows about my background, I come from outside the Secret Realm. Our perspective is like this: as long as both people fancy each other, everything is easily resolved!"

"Could it be, Sister Ming Lan doesn’t like me? If that’s the case, then I won’t bother Sister Ming Lan anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Lan’s heart suddenly panicked.

How could Qin Qi say that? It really gives no room for her to refuse.

The most crucial thing is, she indeed had some fondness for Qin Qi.

After a while, she bit her lip, "Brother Qin Qi, you-you must let me think about it!"

With those words, she dashed out of the cabin!

Qin Qi watched her leaving silhouette, revealing a smile.

This is more like it.

Finally out here, one must find some amusement!

In the subsequent journey, the relationship between Qin Qi and Ming Lan undeniably grew more ambiguous.

And Qin Qi achieved the effect he desired.

If it’s not ambiguous, how can it become more ambiguous?

Throughout the journey, he would admire the scenery, learn about the layout and differences within the Secret Realm.

He’d occasionally tease and engage with Ming Lan.

In this wave of bombardment, initially, Ming Lan would often avoid and flee, not daring to face Qin Qi directly. Later, however, she seemed to accept it much more readily...

Just like this, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Qin Qi, ahead is our Ming Family!"

Qin Qi looked down from the cabin.

Only to find a mist-filled valley appearing before his eyes.

This valley was shrouded in mist, his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate to see the true appearance within.

Besides that, many similar vessels to Ming Lan’s were nearby. Judging by their design and appearance, they were quite similar to Ming Lan’s vessel.

Evidently, many were disciples of the Ming Family out in the world!

As the vessel entered the valley, Qin Qi quickly discovered a world resembling a hidden paradise.

In the center of the valley, encircled by a giant city!

The city was vast, spanning several hundred kilometers in size, easily able to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"This, is the Ming Family?" Qin Qi was amazed.

Such a large geographic area, outside the Secret Realm, would be equivalent to several districts!

Ming Lan nodded, "Yes, this is our Ming Family. However, many different forces have taken root here to do business!"

"Those who actually have the Ming Family’s bloodline aren’t many, roughly tens of thousands."

Qin Qi’s mouth twitched.

Tens of thousands were indeed not a small number.

This family’s scale certainly seemed rather extraordinary!

Soon, the vessel landed!

Qin Qi saw the name of the city clearly.

"Mingqian City!"

Ming Lan said, "Before Mingqian City, no more flying with a vessel!"

Qin Qi nodded.

Just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a clear, sharp voice of a woman sounded nearby, "Are you all blind or something? Can’t see when the vessel is landing?"
