That place, I bet you wouldn't dare to go.

Zhuang Mengli stared at Su Yang. After they locked eyes for two seconds, she suddenly leaned her body toward him.

Su Yang froze for a moment, quickly scooted back to the left, and frowned. "No, wait. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"What do you think?" Zhuang Mengli bit her lip, smiled, and shot him a flirtatious wink. "A man and a woman alone in a room. What else do you think we could be doing?"

Su Yang tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. Although the Zhuang Mengli in front of him looked undeniably hot and seductive, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about this girl.

Based on what he knew about her so far, he didn't think she was the kind of woman to be so open and direct.

Setting aside the fact that her affection level for him was only at fifty, the main issue was that they had only met a few times. They had only just gotten somewhat familiar with each other today. For her to suddenly invite him to her place, and then immediately try to get down to business without any romantic build-up right after he sat down... it made Su Yang feel that things were more than a little weird.

"Why are you dodging! It's not like I'm going to eat you," Zhuang Mengli said coquettishly.

Su Yang was still studying her face, trying to catch some micro-expressions that would give her away, but after a few seconds, he couldn't see anything.

'Could it be that this girl just has this kind of personality? Wait, the system said she had a 'moe' contrast. No, the word 'moe' makes it different. If it was just a contrast in personality, that would be fine, but that extra word changes things. There's definitely a catch. Fine, I'll play along for now. Let's see what she's really up to.'

Thinking this, Su Yang grinned. "I just didn't expect you to be so sudden."

"You don't like it when I'm direct? You prefer taking things slow?"

"Haha, I like both, I like both."

"Then you can't dodge anymore, okay?"

"Alright, I won't dodge. Come on, let the storm rage on!" Su Yang said, opening his arms to her.

Zhuang Mengli pouted her pink lips, revealing a row of neat, white teeth in a smile. "Don't move, let me take the lead."

"Okay."

As soon as she spoke, Zhuang Mengli, with a seductive look in her eyes, pressed against the sofa and slowly crawled toward Su Yang like a little cat.

Two seconds later, Zhuang Mengli became a blur in Su Yang's vision; the distance between them was now less than ten centimeters.

A faint, natural fragrance drifted into his nose. He watched as Zhuang Mengli's hands slowly slid up his arms until they rested on his shoulders.

Su Yang broke his passive stance and started leaning forward. Zhuang Mengli's breathing quickened as she leaned in as well.

The ten-centimeter gap was quickly closed to its limit. Their hot breaths mingled, and just as their lips were about to touch...

Suddenly, a powerful force gripped Su Yang's arms. Before he could even react, he was sent flying toward the spacious living room.

"What the f*ck!!" Su Yang snapped back to his senses and roared the moment he was thrown by the immense force.

Still suspended in the air and about to hit the ground, he twisted mid-air, executing a beautiful horizontal flip to land firmly on his feet.

Just as he was about to curse her out, a figure had already rushed right up to him.

Bang!!

Another powerful blow struck his chest, knocking him back two or three meters.

As soon as he steadied himself, the figure closed in again. This time, Su Yang saw it clearly. He pushed off with his feet and swiftly dodged to the right.

After dodging, he planted his right foot and darted forward, grabbing Zhuang Mengli, who had just stopped and hadn't yet had time to make her next move.

He grabbed her right arm with his right hand, slapped her on the butt with his left hand, and then quickly leaped to the side.

"Ahhh!! You dirty old pervert!! Where did you just hit me?!" Zhuang Mengli spun around, glaring furiously at Su Yang.

Su Yang was already three or four meters away. He stared at her and laughed. "I knew you were up to no good. You punched me, so I gave you a slap. Isn't that fair?"

"Hmph, I'll take your life for that!!" Zhuang Mengli yelled, charging at him once more.

Su Yang panicked and shouted, "Stop!! Hold it right there!! What are you doing, crazy girl? I'm the one who saved your and your grandfather's lives. Is this how you treat your savior?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Mengli actually stopped. She stared at him and said, "I just wanted to spar with you, is that so wrong?"

"Spar? You call this sparring? This was a sneak attack!"

"I was just afraid you wouldn't agree, so I had to resort to this."

Su Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly. "You invited me over just so you could fight me?"

"Uh-huh." Zhuang Mengli nodded.

"No way. I don't want to fight you."

"Why?!" Zhuang Mengli asked anxiously.

"I can't even beat you, what's the point of fighting?" Su Yang said as he walked over to the sofa and plopped down.

Zhuang Mengli quickly followed him. "No, you have to fight me. You're the strongest person I've met so far. If you don't fight me, I won't have anyone to practice with!"

"What does that have to do with me? Do I look like a masochist to you?"

"You're not that weak. If we really fought, you could last at least a hundred rounds with me."

"Not interested. I'm not really a fan of fighting girls on the floor."

"Then where do you like to fight? I'll find a place!" Zhuang Mengli walked up to him, staring at him with her large, watery eyes.

Su Yang rolled his eyes playfully and smiled. "You probably wouldn't dare go to the place I have in mind."

"Impossible! There is nowhere in this world I wouldn't dare go!"

"Really?"

"Just say it."

Su Yang grinned broadly and looked toward the bedroom. "When I fight girls, I prefer to do it in bed..."

"Where?" Zhuang Mengli frowned, confused.

"In bed."

"In be..." Zhuang Mengli muttered the word before it instantly clicked. She immediately reached out to strangle his neck.

Su Yang hastily ducked and pulled back, dodging out of her attack range.

"You bastard, Su Yang!! In bed, my ass!!"

"Hehe, you're the one who asked. Anyway, I'm not fighting you. If we fight, we fight in the bedroom." Su Yang acted like a total rogue.

"You!!" Zhuang Mengli pointed at him furiously, but then she suddenly thought of something and said, "Fine!"

"Fine?"

"Yeah, you want to fight in bed, right? That's not entirely out of the question, but..."

"But what?"

"There's a condition. If you can actually beat me in a real fight, I'll grant your wish... and go... well, fight with you."

Hearing this, Su Yang burst out laughing.

Zhuang Mengli was taken aback. "What are you laughing at? I'm not joking around, I keep my word! As long as you can beat me, I absolutely won't back out!"

"Forget it, forget it." Su Yang laughed, waving his hand and shaking his head.

"What's wrong? You won't even agree to this? Do you even have what it takes?! Are you a man?!"

"It's not that I don't want to fight you, it's just that I can't beat you! I'm not going to waste my energy on something with a zero percent success rate."

"Then what exactly is it going to take for you to fight me!?"

"I'll fight you after my martial strength improves."

"No, I can't wait that long. It's been a long time since I've fought anyone. No matter what, you have to fight me today!"
