Chapter 189
On the other side, Qiu Chi and the man started fighting immediately.
However, the man seemed a bit reluctant. “Can’t you be less violent? It’s not good to be so aggressive. Is there anything we can’t discuss properly?”
Qiu Chi scoffed. “What is there for me to say to you? Right now, I just want to beat you to a pulp.”
The man, dodging Qiu Chi’s attacks, said, “I just want to sit down and have a proper chat with you. There’s really no need for violence. Although you’re very powerful, you might not be able to beat me.”
“We’ll only know who wins after we fight. Why is a grown man like you so wishy-washy, like a woman?”
The man, who had just been called wishy-washy like a woman, fell silent for a moment before saying, “If you’re willing to sit down and talk properly, I wouldn’t be against turning into a woman right now.”
Qiu Chi’s hand trembled, and her blade’s trajectory shifted slightly. The man dodged with lightning speed, still talking, “How about it? If I become a woman, you’ll stop, and we can sit down and talk properly?”
“No! Let me beat you up first, then we’ll talk.”
Talking was fine, but she had to beat him up first to vent her anger.
Qiu Chi’s attitude was resolute. The man was helpless. “Then put away your blade, and let’s just use our fists, shall we? A blade is too lethal. There’s no need to fight to the death, right?”
Qiu Chi paused, feigning contemplation. The man also stopped, looking somewhat relieved.
But the next moment, as soon as Qiu Chi put away her blade, she threw a lightning-fast punch at his peerlessly handsome face.
The man was stunned.
He moved, trying to dodge, but his momentary lapse meant that by the time he reacted, Qiu Chi’s fist was already in front of him. No matter how fast he was, the punch still landed on his face.
Although it wasn’t particularly painful, after ducking to avoid a second punch aimed at his face, he immediately took out a small mirror to check himself.
Fortunately, he wasn’t disfigured. He was still his peerlessly handsome self.
Putting the mirror away, he was furious. “Don’t you know you’re not supposed to hit the face? How could you bear to strike my peerlessly handsome face? Are you even a woman?”
Having landed a punch, Qiu Chi was in a cheerful mood. “Either you fight back now, or I’ll keep aiming for your face.”
“I’ve seen plenty of handsome people, and they still couldn’t escape getting beaten black and blue by me. If you don’t fight back, I don’t mind letting you experience it.”
“Of course I’m a woman. But if you think a woman wouldn’t have the heart to strike this face, I don’t mind turning into a man to beat you up.”
The man: “…” That wouldn’t be necessary.
“It’s just a fight, isn’t it? Fine, let’s fight. But I don’t hold back when I fight. I won’t show you mercy just because you’re a woman. Don’t regret it when I get serious!”
Qiu Chi thought she might just be a battle enthusiast. It was just that everyone she had met before was too much of a weakling, so she had lacked interest.
Now, hearing the man’s words, her heart surged with fighting spirit. “Cut the crap and fight!”
The man finally made his move.
He was very strong, but Qiu Chi was no weakling.
Moreover, the man had underestimated her.
He knew Qiu Chi was strong, stronger than many world consciousnesses, but he felt that even so, she couldn’t beat him.
After all, he had been born earlier than Qiu Chi, and he was the World Consciousness of her Upper Realm.
In other words, cultivators from the Xingyun Realm ascended to his world.
He looked at Qiu Chi as he would a junior, so he naturally underestimated her.
The consequence of underestimating his opponent was Qiu Chi’s fist landing on his body, making him grimace in pain.
“You really show no mercy. I’m getting serious now.”
Qiu Chi rolled her eyes. “As if I need you to show me mercy.”
The man began to fight Qiu Chi in earnest.
But the more he fought, the more alarmed he became.
When he was truly serious, Qiu Chi was not his match. Eight out of ten of his punches landed on her, while only three or four out of ten of her punches could land on him.
But as the fight dragged on, the number of punches he landed on Qiu Chi decreased, while the number of punches she landed on him increased.
He was shocked.
“What is going on with you? How can you improve so quickly in such a short time? This is completely illogical!”
While hitting him, Qiu Chi answered his question, “I’m combat-oriented. You’re just unlucky to have met me.”
The man still looked shocked and a little disbelieving. “Who are you trying to fool? I’ve seen combat-oriented types before. None of them improve as fast as you.”
“That can only mean you haven’t seen enough.”
The longer they fought, the more the man fell into despair.
The number of times he hit Qiu Chi grew smaller and smaller; he was lucky if he could land one punch out of ten.
But when Qiu Chi hit him, almost every punch found its mark. It was as if her fists had fallen in love with him—thankfully, not with his peerlessly handsome face.
Even so, he was extremely disheartened.
Because it was just too painful.
He began to wisely beg for mercy. “I was wrong, you win. You’ve been hitting me for so long. Can we finally sit down and talk now?”
When Qiu Chi stopped, she still felt a little unsatisfied. She thought the man was an excellent sparring partner. It had been a long time—no, she had never had such a satisfying, all-out fight before.
The two returned to the place where Qiu Chi was staying.
Qing Yue had already left. A storage ring was on the table, which Qiu Chi glanced at with disdain before ignoring it.
She looked at the man and said, “It’s not impossible for me to let this go. You have to fight me once a week.”
Seeing that Qiu Chi was willing to stop and talk, the man, who had been somewhat delighted, instantly looked crestfallen. “Aren’t you exploiting me a bit too much? No way. At least once every thousand years.”
Qiu Chi frowned in dissatisfaction. “Once a month.”
The man continued to bargain. “How about once every hundred years? If you really want to find someone to fight, I can find other capable fighters for you. You’re all battle maniacs. Someone as peerlessly handsome and elegant as me isn’t suited to hang out with you lot.”
Qiu Chi looked the man up and down and clicked her tongue in disgust. “A hundred years is fine. But if the people you find can’t take a punch, then you’ll have to do it yourself.”
“You can rest assured on that front. There are always some fighting enthusiasts who can’t find opponents because they’re too powerful. I’ll definitely introduce you to each other.”
With the deal settled, they could talk about other things.
Qiu Chi held out her hand to the man. “Hand it over.”
The man was a little confused. “What?”
“The Main System. Don’t play dumb.”
The man: “…”
The Main System, hiding and trembling in his space: “…” This is terrifying. Why is this woman still thinking about me? I didn’t do anything! It has nothing to do with me! The real culprit is the man in front of her! Go settle the score with him and let me go, please! Waaah!
“Um, actually, I can explain…”
“Oh, right, I haven’t had a chance to introduce myself. My name is Ling He, and I’m the World Consciousness of your Upper Realm.”
