"Qin Yi, where are you taking me?"

The girl was passively led away from the Martial Arena by Qin Yi. Once outside the gate, Qin Yi released her hand and respectfully bowed, "Earlier, I was teaching you sword techniques. I wonder if I could ask you to teach me as well?"

"Teach you?" The girl pouted. She had changed into her dress to remind Qin Yi of something, not to teach him.

"Yiyi, just by looking at you, I can tell you're a sword technique expert. Your skills must surpass that of Huang Tianrong. Grandmaster said he would start teaching me the Heavenly Secret Sword Technique tomorrow, so before that, I wanted to ask you to give me a preview. This way, with some prior learning, I won't make mistakes and disappoint Grandmaster tomorrow."

The essence of flirting lies not in the excuse or topic, but in being close to her.

The girl was delighted by his compliment.

Most girls feel happy when praised.

However, compliments vary depending on the person. If it's someone she dislikes, it won't make her happy.

But Qin Yi had already reached an Affection Level of 80 in her heart, so his praise naturally made her happy.

"Hmph, you have good taste." She lifted her chin proudly. "My sword skills were taught by my father himself, so of course, they surpass Huang Tianrong's. It's just that his cultivation level is slightly higher than mine."

"So, Yiyi, would you teach me the Heavenly Secret Sword Technique?"

"It's not impossible to teach you, but you must remember, you can't talk about what happened on Ao Tou Mountain, and you mustn't even think about it."

"Absolutely, I promise."

Seeing Qin Yi's earnest promise, the girl finally relented, "Alright, I'll be a good person this time and teach you."

With that, she led Qin Yi down the mountain. On a grassy field below, each picked up a wooden stick, and the girl began to teach him the moves one by one.

With Qin Yi's aptitude, he naturally understood after seeing it once, and he memorized the Mental Cultivation Formula she recited after hearing it once.

However, to create opportunities for them to spend more time together, he deliberately didn't grasp it immediately.

Within the girl's acceptable range, he acted as clumsy as possible.

For the same move, the girl taught him several times, yet he couldn't grasp the essence.

The girl's patience wasn't great, and after the third time, she stomped her foot in frustration, "You're so clumsy! That's not how it's done. The essence of the Heavenly Secret Sword Technique is bold and vigorous, with horizontal and vertical slashes as the main attack methods. Why can't you learn it?"

"How about you teach me hand-in-hand?" Qin Yi suggested.

"Hand-in-hand..."

The girl blushed, instinctively wanting to refuse. How could she, a girl, teach him hand-in-hand?

But then she remembered that Qin Yi had taught her hand-in-hand before, so reciprocating seemed fair.

Thinking further, Qin Yi was learning the sword technique to impress her father and not disappoint him. With this in mind, and with her affection for Qin Yi, she agreed, "Alright, but I'll only teach you hand-in-hand once. If you still can't get it, I won't help you anymore."

"Great!" Qin Yi agreed readily.

The girl then moved beside him, wrapping one arm around his waist and holding his wrist with the other.

Suddenly, the first three moves of the Heavenly Secret Sword Technique flowed seamlessly, their movements synchronized and smooth.

With the hand-in-hand contact, which was quite intimate, the girl felt an unusual sense of joy during the process.

After teaching the three moves, she inhaled the scent of the man so close to her, and her heart began to race uncontrollably, like a little deer bounding around.

'How strange, I usually hate the hassle of teaching others martial arts, but today, I feel so happy?'

She scratched her head, unable to figure out the reason.

Could it be because of this guy?

Doing the same thing with different people, if the enjoyment and experience differ, it must be the person's influence.

The two were very close at this moment, and as the girl fell into thought, she was slightly dazed. Qin Yi suddenly glanced at her moist lips and quickly kissed her.

Though it was like a dragonfly skimming the water, the girl's heart, like a calm lake, was suddenly stirred by a massive stone.

"You... what are you doing?"

Feeling the kiss, the girl shyly stepped back two paces, covering her mouth.

She looked at Qin Yi with a mix of reproach and nervousness, her heart racing.

"Yiyi, you're really beautiful," Qin Yi said, gazing intently at her.

If she got angry, he would apologize immediately.

If she wasn't that angry, he could continue to gently flirt with her.

"I... I... if you keep this up, I won't talk to you anymore."

The nervous girl didn't dare meet his gaze and quickly turned away, her back to him.

After all, she had an Affection Level of 80 for him.

In her heart, she did have some feelings for Qin Yi.

With this premise, Qin Yi's slight mischief and impulsiveness only further stirred the strings of her budding heart.

"Alright, I won't do it again. Yiyi, let's continue."

Qin Yi moved beside her, naturally wrapping his left arm around her waist and holding her wrist with his right.

Though it was supposed to be the girl teaching him swordplay, their posture now clearly reversed the roles.

But having just been kissed, her heart was in turmoil.

Thus, in her passive state, her mind felt like a muddled mess.

She could only follow Qin Yi's rhythm, practicing the moves.

Qin Yi deliberately slowed the pace, and though it was swordplay, their practice resembled a dance.

The girl, on the other hand, found herself enjoying it more and more, the pleasant feeling continuous.

This also made her occasionally steal glances at the boy beside her.

For a fleeting moment, she felt this boy might not be any worse than Senior Brother Hua Yunfeng.

During this process, Qin Yi noticed the Affection Level above her head suddenly increased by 5 points.

(Because the host's intimate actions brought them closer, increasing the Affection Level by 5 points.)

With this, the Affection Level reached 85 points, very close to 90 points (really likes).

Immediately, he decided to strike while the iron was hot.

As they finished the three moves and were about to stop, he took advantage of her distraction to lower his head and kiss her soft red lips again.

The girl's body trembled, as if electrified, instinctively wanting to push him away, but suddenly her body went limp, as if all her strength had vanished.

Her hands rested on Qin Yi's chest, utterly powerless.

This time, Qin Yi didn't just skim like a dragonfly but kissed her deeply.

From resisting to accepting, in a few seconds, she revealed her feminine nature, unconsciously closing her beautiful eyes gently.
