Chapter 1054

After speaking, Ji Qingzhu was already extremely anxious and pulled along her sister, heading directly to Qin Qi’s residence.

Qin Qi had just returned home not long ago and hadn’t started meditative cultivation yet, but he sensed the arrival of the two sisters.

He pushed the door open and stepped out, pretty much having guessed the origin of the two.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to be clueless and said, "Miss Ji, Second Miss, what brings you two here..."

Ji Qingzhu bowed deeply to Qin Qi, "Mr. Qin, you saved my sister earlier, and now, you have saved me. This generous act is a tremendous favor to us two sisters!"

"We, naturally, have to pay a personal visit to express our gratitude to you, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Qi laughed lightly, "Oh, and how do you two plan to express your gratitude!"

Ji Qingzhu pursed her red lips, "Whatever the terms, Mr. Qin, you may feel free to propose them. As long as they are within our capabilities, we absolutely won’t delay!"

This was her objective.

To use the reason of gratitude to establish a beneficial connection with Qin Qi.

This way, they could bind Qin Qi within their Twelve Teams, ensuring no opportunity for other teams to intervene once they realized Qin Qi’s unique abilities.

Qin Qi looked at the earnest expressions on Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang’s little faces.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

"It seems these two women not only intend to repay my kindness but also recognize the rarity of my ability to expel Poisonous Energy!" Qin Qi was incredibly clever, instantly discerning their intentions.

If that’s the case, then this opportunity presented to him wasn’t one he should refuse.

Thinking of this, Qin Qi slowly said, "Oh? As long as it’s within your capabilities, you’re willing?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingzhu’s pretty face faintly blushed.

Because she already sensed some improper thoughts from Qin Qi through her intuitive lens.

This Qin Qi, could it be...

But the matter had progressed to this degree, and she had spoken so decisively; there was no room for retreat.

Even if a bit anxious in her heart, she could only brace herself and wait for Qin Qi to continue speaking.

"Mr. Qin, you can feel free to state your desires." Ji Qingzhu said.

Qin Qi laughed heartily, "It’s actually not that troubling. If the two of you aren’t enough, you could consider becoming my concubines!"

Upon hearing Qin Qi’s request, blushes of delicate embarrassment appeared on the faces of Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang.

Though aware that Qin Qi surely harbors some indecent thoughts, they hadn’t expected him to actually say it outright...

Ji Qingzhu bit her vermilion lips in response, "Qin... Mr. Qin, isn’t this a bit improper? Don’t you have any other requests?"

Qin Qi leisurely said, "Miss Ji, not to mention whether other matters interest me, even if they did, you, Miss Ji, are merely at the First Layer of Core Formation!"

"Do you really think that the demands I make can be met by Miss Ji? Moreover, even if you did meet them, do you think they could bind my heart?"

Upon hearing Qin Qi’s words, Ji Qingzhu was slightly startled.

This cunning fellow had already seen through her and Hongzhuang’s intentions.

Moreover, unfortunately, his words were remarkably sensible!

Can anything else truly bind Qin Qi? Besides, their Twelve Teams weren’t that wealthy!

Yet Ji Qingzhu didn’t give up, taking a deep breath, she said, "Mr. Qin, how would you know if I couldn’t fulfill your desires without testing it?"

Qin Qi was lazy to explain further and simply took out a material list and handed it over.

"These are the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for the cultivation technique I’m currently practicing. Miss Ji can take a look at them. If you truly can gather them in full for me, then the favor is considered repaid by you two!" Qin Qi calmly said.

The material list he provided wasn’t meant to trouble them.

They were mainly auxiliary materials for mastering Thunder Skill while cultivating the Celestial Spirit Pure Yang Skill to Great Success.

This was previously organized by the Celestial Joyful Witch for him.

He had gone to several merchant guilds in Feiliu City and had finally wandered around the Ming Family’s treasure pavilion but couldn’t find anything suitable.

If Ji Qingzhu could truly gather everything for him, he wouldn’t object.

Ji Qingzhu looked at the material list in hand and couldn’t help but take a light breath, "Mr. Qin, each of the materials you need to gather is exceedingly scarce in the market. Are you sure you aren’t intentionally making it difficult for me?"

Qin Qi chuckled lightly, "Miss Ji, whether I’m making it difficult for you, I can’t say. But I only know that these are the things I’m truly interested in!"

"Since you are here to repay the favor, surely you won’t just bring a few superficial items to fool me. Or do you think your lives are so worthless? Hoping to dismiss me with some trivial items?"

Being spoken to like this by Qin Qi, few traces of shame appeared on Ji Qingzhu’s face.

Indeed.

Qin Qi saved the lives of her and her sister, and now she’s here haggling prices with him.

How can one’s life be so cheap?

Qin Qi remarked in a half-amused tone, "So, if you two truly want to repay me, please think it over more thoroughly."

"If you don’t present enough sincerity and try to dismiss me with a few words, it will only make me look down on you!"

"Mr. Qin is right!"

Ji Qingzhu nodded lightly, "Regarding this matter, I kindly ask Mr. Qin to give my sister and me some time to consider!"

After speaking, Ji Qingzhu took her sister and turned to leave.

Qin Qi watched their backs without making further attempts to persuade them to stay. Instead, he slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.

Because the seed had already been planted, and next, it was time to await the harvest!

After all, Ji Qingzhu hadn’t outright rejected his proposal of concubinage but instead spoke of considering.

Since there is consideration, it means there might be hope!

Soon, Ji Qingzhu and her sister returned to the original hall.

"Sister, didn’t we say we wanted to win over Qin Qi? How come we just came back?" Ji Hongzhuang was still a bit confused.

Ji Qingzhu sighed, "I was too hasty, thinking some benefits could repay this favor. But Qin Qi’s words made sense, the favor of saving a life isn’t easily repaid!"

"Since we sisters want to keep Qin Qi by our side while repaying this favor, where would we find such luck in the world..."

Ji Hongzhuang couldn’t help but ask, "Then sister, what should we do about this matter!"

Ji Qingzhu frowned.

Suddenly, she turned her head and appraised her sister from top to bottom.

Immediately, she began to smile, "I’ve just realized I might have fallen into a misconception. Hongzhuang, Qin Qi may have some improper thoughts, but all men are like this. His age is similar to yours, and his cultivation has reached the Fake Core Stage."

"Considering talent and strength, he’s more than sufficient for you. I’ve been worrying about your marriage all this time. But now it seems, marrying you to Qin Qi apparently isn’t so improper after all..."
