She was at a loss, her two small hands unsure of where to place them.
Blocking her body would shield the eyes, but covering the eyes wouldn’t stop the light from revealing her, making her so angry that tears were about to fall.
Qin Chen's face also showed a hint of embarrassment as he hurriedly put on a set of clothes again.
Now the awkwardness had escalated.
Seeing Qin Chen get dressed, Ji Ruyue quickly took out a set of clothes to wear, then glared fiercely at Qin Chen, angrily saying, “Scoundrel.”
She gripped her ancient green sword, a killing intent erupting from her whole being; her gaze wished nothing more than to slay Qin Chen on the spot.
“Miss, this is all a misunderstanding.”
Qin Chen forced a smile, completely unsure how to explain.
Although he was the one who rushed to make a move, the other party hadn’t given any explanation either, and she was wearing a veil! How could a big girl, who wasn’t ugly, play mysterious like that?
The previous few simulated bodies had worn veils too, and now she had one; how could he not be misled?
Of course, an even more important reason was that Qin Chen's spiritual force had been used to resist the chilling power, causing him to not realize that the person in front of him was actually a living person. However, if he hadn’t been bound by the chilling power, whether this girl could survive in battle was still up for debate.
“Miss, this is all a misunderstanding, and I apologize to you.”
After all, she was still a girl, and he was the one who made the first move; he should apologize first.
Ji Ruyue's face turned ashen and said, “Is one misunderstanding enough? You scoundrel, you’ve sullied my innocence. I must kill you this time.”
Damn, now she was really getting into it!
Qin Chen's expression turned cold, and he frowned, saying, “Miss, I really can’t understand your words. How have I sullied your innocence?”
“You still say you didn’t!”
Ji Ruyue was both ashamed and angry. She had exposed her face and body, even deliberately stripped off her clothes. This kind of rogue was simply enraging.
Qin Chen's expression turned unhappy. He admitted that he had been a bit reckless earlier and had acted without thinking.
But the other party hadn’t given him a chance to explain; could he be blamed for that?
One hand cannot clap alone; both sides could be said to have responsibilities.
Moreover, the other party hadn’t done anything serious; at most, she had exposed a bit of her thigh or neck; what was the big deal? He had lost all his clothes because of this girl and didn’t even complain.
So who would compensate for his reputation?
“Miss, regarding the previous matter, I can only say sorry. I mistook you for a simulated body in the sword path, and you also didn’t say a word and directly attacked. That’s how our misunderstanding deepened. Here, I apologize to you.”
He took out a bottle of elixir and threw it to Ji Ruyue, saying, “Here’s a bottle of seventh-grade healing elixir; you can use it to heal your injuries. As for the rest, all I can say is sorry.”
Forget it; let’s not hold grudges. Qin Chen didn’t want to continue arguing with her, believing in resolving conflicts through virtue.
“Who cares about your elixir!”
With a loud bang!
Ji Ruyue threw the potion bottle directly to the ground.
Damn, does being pretty mean you can throw tantrums and be unreasonable?
Um!
Actually, it seems like she really can!
Qin Chen was speechless, his voice turning cold: “If you insist on saying I harmed you, then I have nothing to say. Do as you wish. If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!”
Qin Chen didn’t want to waste words with her anymore; he sat cross-legged and began to resist the chilling power within him.
Because of this delay, the chilling power from the mysterious rusty sword was about to invade the depths of his soul sea, and he had to exert all his strength to resist it.
Boom!
A terrifying chilling aura spread out, and pain immediately appeared on Qin Chen’s face.
