32: Chapter 32 Do you want to be promoted to A-rank?

"Where is the training room? Why don't I see one?"

Qin Lan walked inside and looked around, only seeing a large bed and the bathroom next to it.

Although the room wasn't small, she didn't see a training room, which left her feeling puzzled.

However, when she turned around and saw Lin Zhou closing the door, looking at her with a wicked smile, her heart suddenly tightened.

A realization struck her, and her pretty face flushed red.

"The training room I mentioned is this training bed. A bed this big should be enough for us to train, right?"

Since the favorability was already maxed out, surely Qin Lan wouldn't be offended by him flirting like this.

Seeing Qin Lan's face flush even deeper, he grinned.

This piece of braised pork was already right at his lips.

"You brat, the training you're talking about is... is... You really are too wicked!"

Qin Lan blushed and scolded him.

Especially when she felt the masculine charm radiating from Lin Zhou, her body suddenly felt a bit weak and limp.

She didn't know if it was because of the environment or the thick, ambiguous atmosphere in the room, but she couldn't muster any strength from her power talent at this moment.

"I'm not wrong, am I? Ancient dual cultivation techniques—any problem with that?"

Lin Zhou asked back with feigned innocence.

The mention of "dual cultivation techniques" made Qin Lan's face turn red all the way to her ears.

No problem!

Of course there was no problem!

It was just that thinking about how she had foolishly believed there was a real training room earlier made her so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Fortunately, it was only in front of Lin Zhou; if the other girls found out, she would have no face left to see anyone.

"Sister Qin Lan, your talent is B-Rank strength type. Do you... want to upgrade to A-Rank?"

Seeing Qin Lan's reaction, he knew the timing was right, so he hurriedly asked.

"Of course I want to..."

Hearing this, Qin Lan answered almost without hesitation.

But after answering, she felt extremely nervous and shy inside.

After all, upgrading talent attributes came with a price.

And that price was herself.

Although she had steeled herself, facing this situation for the first time left her feeling panicked.

"Since you want to, what are you going to do next?"

Having already enjoyed the school beauty, he wasn't in such a rush anymore.

Especially when he recalled the cold attitude Qin Lan had when she first walked in.

It had been so difficult to raise her favorability, and it had only just reached the max.

Watching her go from being cold and aloof to slowly falling under his influence—at this moment, he wanted to see what this once-cold goddess would look like when she took the initiative.

"I..."

Qin Lan, who had already braced herself to be pushed onto the bed by Lin Zhou, was stunned for a second when he suddenly said that, and then she felt a surge of coy resentment.

This brat wanted her to be the proactive one!

Even though she had opened her heart, that didn't mean she could just take the lead!

Her previous cold personality and her temperament of being completely uninterested in men made the idea of her actively doing something to a man seem like a pipe dream.

Yet, right now, Lin Zhou was demanding just that, which made her feel very shy and resentful.

However, her inner drive wouldn't let her refuse; instead, a faint impulse began to rise within her.

"My close-combat ace, time is tight. You'd better... seize the opportunity!"

Seeing Qin Lan's hesitation and struggle, Lin Zhou grinned, then didn't rush, instead lying down on the soft, large bed.

This scene made Qin Lan even more shy and resentful.

But deep down... she felt even more impulsive.

Especially when she looked at the bouncy, soft bed Lin Zhou was lying on, her mind couldn't help but conjure up some unspeakable images...

"You brat Lin Zhou, you're doing this on purpose! You're so gentle with them, but you're so unfriendly to me, aren't you?"

Qin Lan deliberately huffed.

"Who told you I was gentle with them?"

Lin Zhou asked back, sounding puzzled.

"I... isn't that the case?"

Qin Lan was at a loss for words, then hurriedly asked back.

"Of course not!"

Lin Zhou shook his head.

"Ah? Then... then how... how do you treat them?"

Qin Lan asked with a face full of curiosity and nervousness.

Could it be that Lin Zhou was a pervert?

That shouldn't be right!

If he were a pervert, when Jiang Wanxing or even Professor Su Qinghan came out, they shouldn't have looked so shy and happy.

That look suggested the whole process was very friendly.

But seeing the serious look on Lin Zhou's face, she started to worry again.

After all, even if Lin Zhou really bullied her in all sorts of ways, she had no power to resist.

"Really want to know?"

Lin Zhou asked.

"Mm-hmm!"

Qin Lan nodded quickly.

"Qin Lan, I didn't expect you to have such a hobby! You like paying attention to that kind of thing between others? If you want to know, why don't you just experience it yourself?"

Seeing Qin Lan's curious expression, Lin Zhou said, suppressing a laugh.

"Can you... can you tell me first?"

Qin Lan bit her lip, finding it hard to say.

"No! If you want to know, you can go ask them. If you're afraid, I won't force you. Oh, remember to call Wanxing and Professor Su Qinghan in for me on your way out!"

Lin Zhou shook his head, deliberately putting on a look of great disappointment, then turned away and said.

This scene made Qin Lan's heart skip a beat.

Clearly, Lin Zhou was angry.

Come to think of it, her constantly asking about this stuff was just proof that she was scared.

The atmosphere had reached this point, and now she was scared—anyone would be in a bad mood.

Seeing Lin Zhou angry, she truly panicked.

If Lin Zhou was angry and didn't want her anymore, wouldn't she never be able to upgrade?

What if Lin Zhou didn't want to keep her here? Wouldn't she be kicked out?

Although she was proud and arrogant, in this Villa, Lin Zhou was the one in charge.

If he said no, then no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't possibly beat Lin Zhou.

In the past, she had countless suitors and could choose among them.

But now, it was Lin Zhou choosing them.

If she didn't do well, Lin Zhou had other excellent girls around him; he could just discard her.

So, seeing Lin Zhou angry, she really panicked.

"I'm sorry, Lin Zhou. I... I was wrong. I won't ask anymore. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Qin Lan took a deep breath, then set aside her pride and lowered her body to apologize to Lin Zhou.

"I'm not angry. I was just giving you time to prepare. If you aren't ready, I won't do anything to you. What I want is sincerity, not something with ulterior motives."

Lin Zhou shook his head.

"I know, Lin Zhou! Next, let me serve you. Didn't you want to see my military boxing? I'll perform it for you now..."

Qin Lan said with a flushed face, then slowly took off her clothes...
