Chapter 1044: My Name is Scoundrel
"I live at the foot of the mountain, so what if you run away tonight? Miss Yun, this arrangement isn't logical!"
Upon hearing Yun Menghan's arrangement, Qin Tian immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "I can just stay on top of Broken Cliff instead of in your little house."
This small house only has three rooms, one dining room, and Yun Menghan and Xiao Chan each occupy a room, so there's really no space for Qin Tian.
"Hmph, if I wanted to run, do you think staying on top would stop me?" Yun Menghan said, looking at Qin Tian.
"Exactly, with your cultivation level, you think you can stop my lady and me? Look in the mirror..." Xiao Chan added sarcastically.
Qin Tian rolled his eyes; it seemed true.
If he didn't trust Yun Menghan, could he believe the method she planned to teach him to refine the True Qi within his body wouldn't be bogus?
"Anyway, you're my thigh to cling to now..."
Qin Tian glanced at Yun Menghan, pouting, and said, "Alright then, I'll stay at the foot of the mountain. I'll find you at nine in the morning."
At this point, Qin Tian had already entrusted himself to this unfamiliar woman he'd met not long ago, sitting there with no choice but to completely trust Yun Menghan without reservation.
...
Qin Tian descended from Broken Cliff, had some dried fruits and snacks, then found a big tree and slept directly on the dense branches.
This kind of outdoor sleeping condition wasn't tough for Qin Tian. He had long adapted to spending nights in the wilderness, so he slept until dawn, waking up at eight in the morning.
He had a simple drink, then climbed back up Broken Cliff, directly approaching Yun Menghan's little house.
The door to the small house was open, and Qin Tian assumed Yun Menghan and Xiao Chan were inside, so he walked right in.
But upon entering, there wasn't a single soul!
"Damn!"
Qin Tian was momentarily stunned seeing the empty house.
Played! He'd been played by Yun Menghan!
"Yun Menghan! Yun Menghan!"
Qin Tian shouted twice after walking out of the small house.
But the surroundings were empty, no one responded, leaving Qin Tian standing alone in front of the small house, a bit comical.
"Damn it, too low, playing me?"
Qin Tian was both amused and annoyed, circling the small house twice, yelling, "Yun Menghan, you're too much! Playing me? You're ruthless!"
"Yun Menghan, you jerk! I'm not a gentleman; since you sneaked away, I'm not holding back. I'll burn your little house! Destroy your precious saplings!"
"Yun Menghan, you jerk..."
Just when Qin Tian was angrily cursing, as the word "jerk" left his mouth, he saw Yun Menghan and Xiao Chan walking towards him from the slope not far away...
"Cough cough..."
Qin Tian suddenly felt a chill, frozen in place.
Oh man, his curses had been loud, without a doubt Yun Menghan heard it all!
Oh dear...
Qin Tian pouted, then saw Yun Menghan and Xiao Chan, each holding a basket, approaching the small house and him with icy expressions...
"Hello, Miss Yun, pretty Xiao Chan, good morning!"
Seeing Yun Menghan and Xiao Chan approaching, Qin Tian braced himself, forced a grin to greet them.
"Hmph!" Xiao Chan snorted coldly at Qin Tian.
Yun Menghan said nothing, walked straight into the room.
Qin Tian quickly followed, peering into the basket as he curiously asked, "Miss Yun, are those herbs? What are you using them for?"
"I'm not called Miss Yun."
Once inside, Yun Menghan still didn't spare Qin Tian a glance, handing the basket to Xiao Chan.
Undoubtedly, her face was cold, clearly very angry.
Ah, this was indeed Qin Tian's fault, acting on impulse, angrily cursing Yun Menghan without restraint, unexpectedly Yun Menghan hadn't left...
The trust between humans, why is it so hard!
At this point, Qin Tian had no choice but to flatter Yun Menghan, "You're Miss Yun, the proud eldest daughter of the Yun Family..."
"I told you, I'm not Miss Yun," Yun Menghan repeated.
"Then, you're Yun Menghan?" Qin Tian pouted.
"I'm not Yun Menghan either."
"Huh? Then what's your name?"
Qin Tian was baffled, unsure of what Yun Menghan meant.
But just as he was about to ask, Yun Menghan smirked sarcastically, "I'm called Jerk."
"Hiss..."
Qin Tian was stunned, rendered speechless.
Oh man, Yun Menghan sure knows how to be sarcastic!
"Ahem, Miss Yun, I apologize for my earlier actions. I was impulsive, you, being magnanimous, shouldn't hold a grudge against someone as petty as me."
Yun Menghan directly self-depreciating as "jerk," no choice, this matter needed resolving, Qin Tian admitted his wrongs and apologized, "You're not the jerk, I am, I'm the jerk, okay?"
"Hmph, Qin Tian, you're like Lv Dongbin being bitten by a dog! Judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind! My lady misjudged you!"
Xiao Chan once again used her "strike back" skill, taking the chance during Qin Tian's apology to kick him while he was down, leaving Qin Tian rather awkward.
"Wrong is wrong, Miss Yun, just for my previous mistake, let me compensate you, alright? A genuine apology." Qin Tian showed a serious face.
Seeing Qin Tian's sincerity, Yun Menghan finally turned to glance at him, "How do you plan to compensate me?"
"Hmm... Debt of favor, physical compensation, tonight I'm yours." Qin Tian maintained his serious demeanor.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Chan couldn't help but laugh, "Qin Tian, your skin is unbelievably thick. Physical compensation? Dream on, your flesh and blood might interest wild beasts, but our lady's certainly not interested."
"Is that so?"
Qin Tian smiled at Xiao Chan, "If your lady's not interested in my flesh and blood, why does she want my blood by all means necessary?"
"This... your..."
Xiao Chan didn't expect Qin Tian to be so articulate, momentarily speechless with Qin Tian's rebuttal, turned to Yun Menghan, "Miss, maybe we shouldn't take Qin Tian's blood after all, this guy, acting so smug over a tube of blood..."
"Two tubes of blood. Qin Tian, if you want to compensate me, give me another tube, I want two now."
At this point, Yun Menghan suddenly spoke, very seriously, her words instantly giving Xiao Chan a slapped face feeling.
She was advising Miss not to take Qin Tian's blood, but now Miss wanted two tubes? She couldn't figure it out, what made Qin Tian's blood so valuable, so mysterious!
