Thus, the night passed without incident.
When Zhou Hong opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.
Having fallen asleep between two and three in the morning, Zhou Hong was truly tired and quickly drifted off.
"You're awake," Qin Mengxue's voice came to his ears. She seemed to have just woken up, perhaps not having slept well all night, especially with a naked man lying next to her.
"Yeah, you just woke up too."
"Mhm."
"Did last night disturb your sleep?" Zhou Hong sat up and asked with a smile, seeing Qin Mengxue looking less than well-rested.
"It's alright," Qin Mengxue nodded shyly, her eyes avoiding Zhou Hong's as she quickly turned her head away.
"This is your first time sharing a room with a man, isn't it?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Of course. I know nothing about men," Qin Mengxue chided him, unable to help herself.
Zhou Hong suddenly felt a mischievous urge to tease her.
"You know nothing about men? Should I enlighten you then, so you don't remain ignorant?" Zhou Hong chuckled.
Qin Mengxue stared at Zhou Hong, her face flushed crimson.
Zhou Hong instantly threw off the covers.
"Ah!" Qin Mengxue let out a startled scream and quickly covered her eyes with her hands. What she had seen was shocking. She thought Zhou Hong was just joking, but he was actually serious.
"Hahaha, didn't you say you knew nothing about men? It's the perfect time to get acquainted when you wake up." Zhou Hong laughed heartily.
"Hurry up and put your clothes on," Qin Mengxue said shyly, still not daring to uncover her eyes.
"Look at you, how old are you? You're the school beauty, yet other girls might have started dating in middle school. You're still so pure, it's quite rare."
Qin Mengxue still didn't dare to remove her hands. Her heart was pounding rapidly. Though she had only caught a glimpse, it was an unforgettable sight.
"Give me one of your hands," Zhou Hong, seemingly wanting to tease her further, immediately grabbed one of Qin Mengxue's hands.
"What are you doing?" Qin Mengxue asked with her eyes tightly shut.
"Letting you experience it."
"You!" Qin Mengxue was speechless, but as Zhou Hong guided her hand in a certain direction, she found it difficult to pull away.
The next second, Qin Mengxue felt her hand touch something warm.
"Ah!" Qin Mengxue screamed. Even with her eyes closed, she could sense its shape and knew what it was.
"How was it? Gained some knowledge?" Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"You're unbearable," Qin Mengxue dared not open her eyes and let Zhou Hong hold her hand. She felt that her hand couldn't even encompass it. This was the first time in her life she had touched such a thing, and her heart was racing.
After a few minutes, Zhou Hong finally released Qin Mengxue's hand.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Get up quickly, I'll take you to find Liu Zhen Feixu." Zhou Hong quickly got dressed after letting go of Qin Mengxue's hand.
Although Qin Mengxue felt shy, a sense of loss washed over her now that Zhou Hong had released her hand and moved away from "that thing." Perhaps, despite her embarrassment, touching it had felt rather interesting.
When Qin Mengxue opened her eyes, Zhou Hong was already dressed.
Qin Mengxue had no choice but to quickly get up and change her clothes. Then, the two of them left the hotel room.
Zhou Hong immediately took Qin Mengxue to find Liu Zhen Feixu.
About an hour later, Zhou Hong arrived at Liu Zhen Feixu's home.
"Zhou Hong," Liu Zhen Feixu's eyes filled with excitement upon seeing him.
"Feixu, let me introduce you. This is Qin Mengxue, whom I mentioned to you on the phone earlier."
"Hello, Senior Liu Zhen," Qin Mengxue quickly bowed to Liu Zhen Feixu.
"Mengxue, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Sister Feixu."
"Zhou Hong also said, 'Qin Mengxue, we're all friends here, so don't be so polite. Just call her Feixu.'"
"Yes, yes. Greetings, Sister Feixu."
"Don't stand in the doorway, come in quickly."
Upon entering the house, Zhou Hong sat down on the sofa. This was his third visit here.
"Zhou Hong, that person named Feng Wuyu has been slandering you online. How are you going to handle it?" Liu Zhen Feixu asked while preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Zhou Hong's brow furrowed slightly. He had heard from Qiao Ying'er yesterday that Feng Wuyu, the number one genius on the Earthly Rankings, known as the Sword God, had publicly declared on their school's forum that he would "castrate" Zhou Hong out of jealousy.
"What? You've seen this fellow's arrogant threats on your school forum too?" Zhou Hong asked with a huff.
"That Feng Wuyu is the number one genius on the Earthly Rankings. He didn't just post on your school forum; he posted on the Kyoto forum last night slandering you."
"What did he say to slander me?" Zhou Hong asked, a flicker of anger in his voice.
"He... he called you a 'small toothpick' and 'Zhou Three Seconds'." Liu Zhen Feixu seemed hesitant to continue.
"It seems this fellow is really asking for a beating."
"Zhou Hong, with your immense strength, why don't you just go and teach him a lesson? This Feng Wuyu, thinking he's the top genius on the Earthly Rankings, is jealous that you have several beautiful fiancée, and mocks you online. If it were me, I would have gone to confront him long ago."
At this point, Qin Mengxue quickly asked, "Zhou Hong's strength? Is he a match for that person?"
Although Qin Mengxue knew Zhou Hong was strong, she never imagined he could be invincible among the Kyoto Earthly Rankings.
"Mengxue, you wouldn't know this, but Zhou Hong's strength has long surpassed those geniuses on the Earthly Rankings. That Feng Wuyu, the number one on the Earthly Rankings, probably couldn't even beat Zhou Hong with a single finger. By the way, do you know about the eighth-rate families? In Kyoto, there's a Situ family, and they are an eighth-rate family. Their current patriarch and others are now my subordinates." Liu Zhen Feixu said with a smile.
"Ah," Qin Mengxue exclaimed in surprise.
"You probably think I subdued them with my strength, right? Actually, it was Zhou Hong who subdued them. So, just how strong Zhou Hong is, is beyond what you or I can imagine." After speaking, Liu Zhen Feixu looked at Zhou Hong with curiosity, as if asking with her eyes, just how strong are you?
"Hahaha," Zhou Hong let out a hearty laugh.
Qin Mengxue looked at Zhou Hong, her eyes filled with reverence. She had initially thought Zhou Hong was only around the 30th to 40th stage of Martial Master, but it turned out to be far beyond her expectations. He could easily subdue an eighth-rate family.
In that moment, Qin Mengxue truly felt that Zhou Hong was unfathomably deep.
"Alright, since that Feng Wuyu keeps provoking me, I'll oblige him. Film a video for me and post it online. I want to spar with him." Zhou Hong said to Liu Zhen Feixu. He had originally not bothered with such a minor figure, but being pushed too far, he had no choice but to deal with him.
