"Ah? This, this, this..."

Gu Yu's words left Wen Yaxin completely stunned.

Even Qin Chuan, hiding in the closet, was briefly taken aback.

Sex first, love later?

What the heck is this?

Can this really be something Gu Yu, the silly goose, could say?

Could it be that this was her plan all along?

Qin Chuan's entire face froze, as if hit by the Body Fixing Technique.

Inside, waves of emotion surged.

At this moment, the saying "city women are more open" got proven once again.

Even someone as naive as Gu Yu is no exception.

City life is too complicated; I want to go back to the countryside!

Qin Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

On the other side, Wen Yaxin, after a brief moment of shock, came to her senses and instinctively gave Gu Yu a thumbs-up, "Xiaoyu, you're way ahead of your time."

Without saying much else, just this sentence alone made Wen Yaxin feel she might be the one needing to learn.

Who would've thought such a bold statement would come from the mouth of Gu Yu, the goody-two-shoes?

Wen Yaxin even felt that the Gu Yu before her had become unfamiliar somehow.

In response to the compliment, Gu Yu blushed and said, "I—I also saw it online, didn't people do this in the past?"

Gu Yu had always been by Old Master Gu's side, exposed to traditional thinking.

This was especially true for marriage matters.

People from Old Master Gu's era mostly got married through blind dates.

Before marriage, they'd mostly only met once or twice.

Some hadn't even seen each other before getting married directly.

As for feelings, as Old Master Gu often said, they could be gradually developed later.

She wasn't against such so-called "blind marriages and dumb unions" at heart.

Thus, she always felt that as long as she could be with Qin Chuan, feelings could slowly be nurtured.

Furthermore, she didn't dislike Qin Chuan, and even had a bit of a crush on him.

In her eyes, Qin Chuan was a highly talented, warm-hearted hero.

Also, her ideal partner.

Being with Qin Chuan didn't feel inappropriate to her, nor did she feel it would be unfair to herself.

Upon hearing Gu Yu's explanation, Wen Yaxin was dumbstruck: "So it's not forward-thinking, but ancient thinking?"

Qin Chuan in the closet was caught between laughter and tears.

Who would've thought Gu Yu's words weren't about being bold at all, but rather had ties to ancient ways.

For some reason, Qin Chuan suddenly found this dull-witted Gu Yu a tiny bit adorable, adorably silly.

But really, you couldn't blame her.

She grew up in a martial arts school surrounded by rough men.

Not understanding relationships between men and women was quite normal.

Thinking about this, Qin Chuan felt a bit sympathetic towards the silly goose.

"Is—is that not okay?" Gu Yu looked at Wen Yaxin timidly.

"Uh..."

Wen Yaxin hesitated slightly: "It's not that it's not okay, but it depends on whether Qin Chuan can accept it."

If it were any other man, facing a school beauty like Gu Yu throwing herself at them, they would've already taken advantage of her.

But Wen Yaxin knew that Qin Chuan wasn't the kind of man to be swayed easily by women.

Simply put, he was a man of principle.

He wouldn't provoke a woman easily, but if he did, he would see it through to the end.

Therefore, whether Gu Yu could become part of Qin Chuan's harem ultimately depended on Qin Chuan's decision.

"What you said, is like saying nothing at all."

Gu Yu sighed, looking very resentful: "I've been so proactive, but he still won't touch me. I don't even know where the problem is."

Seeing her so down, Wen Yaxin silently hugged her to comfort her: "Between you and Qin Chuan, it's just a matter of timing. When the time is right, he'll naturally accept you."

"But the martial arts competition is about to start, and if Qin Chuan doesn't hurry to improve his skills, I'm worried..." Gu Yu's face was full of worry.

She's also signed up for this martial arts competition.

Precisely because of this, she knew how dangerous this competition was.

If it were before, with her nearly masterful skills, she might've been able to contend for a top-five position.

However, this time around, even masters at her level might not have a shot at the top five.

Moreover, there's the enigmatic Chu Hualong.

Chu Hualong returned to Jiang City for revenge this time.

Once he steps into the ring, any opponents obstructing him will face life-and-death trials.

Although Qin Chuan is exceptionally talented, he hasn't been practicing for long.

He needs time to grow and improve his skills.

Right now, Gu Yu's greatest wish is to help Qin Chuan quickly improve, even if it comes at the cost of her own body.

Hearing this, Wen Yaxin was deeply moved.

"Hmph! Qin Chuan, that rotten man, you're doing everything for his good, yet he doesn't appreciate it. Let's not bother with him!" Wen Yaxin, the fence-sitter, quickly switched sides, glaring angrily in the direction of the closet.

Regarding Gu Yu's thoughts, Qin Chuan also felt a bit helpless inside.

To say he wasn't touched would be a lie.

Gu Yu truly is a good, innocent girl.

However, taking advantage of her body just for skill improvement—Qin Chuan couldn't bring himself to do such heartless things.

Right now, all he can do is work hard on his own, have more Dual Cultivations with the women around him, and quickly elevate his skills to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

As for Gu Yu's intentions, he can only acknowledge them.

After that, the two girls didn't dwell on the topic for too long.

Maybe because she couldn't get the answer she wanted, Gu Yu seemed a bit absent-minded as she left.

"She's gone, you can come out now." Wen Yaxin pouted, folding her arms with an air of resentment.

Qin Chuan came out of the closet, his legs a bit numb from crouching too long.

"Look what you've done, you've driven Xiaoyu to such a state." Wen Yaxin defended Gu Yu.

"How can this be my fault? I don't want to hurt her—is that wrong?" Qin Chuan found it both amusing and exasperating.

"You've got so many women around you already, what's one more, Xiaoyu?"

Wen Yaxin threw a little tantrum: "You say you don't want to hurt her, so why did you sleep with me in the first place?"

"Ah, this, this, this..."

Facing Wen Yaxin's unreasonable approach, Qin Chuan felt even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't win against her.

However, Wen Yaxin wasn't genuinely angry. She was just sympathizing with Gu Yu from a friend's perspective, feeling sorry for her.

Finally, Qin Chuan was chased out by her.

But just as he reached the ground floor, in the middle of preparing to return to school, he spotted Gu Yu's pink Wuling Hongguang Mini.

He initially intended to avoid her, but Gu Yu poked her head out, "Qin Chuan, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

"No..."

Qin Chuan was about to refuse, but upon seeing the anticipation on Gu Yu's face, he couldn't bring himself to say it: "I'm going back to school. Are you heading that way?"

"I am, I am, get in. I'll take you."

Gu Yu was overjoyed, seeing Qin Chuan get in made her happier than New Year.

But as Qin Chuan opened the passenger door, her expression suddenly froze, her eyes widening in panic as she stared at the bag of lingerie on the seat.
