"Why?" she couldn't help asking.
She was extremely confused and unwilling.
"Because a personality like yours is not suitable for being friends." Jiang Chen spoke bluntly.
This Ye Lingling had been in the Imperial Battle Team for several years, yet she always maintained such a cold and aloof attitude toward her own teammates.
Upon hearing that the Shrek Seven Monsters had outstanding talent, she immediately wanted to go befriend them.
Now, after discovering that Jiang Chen's talent was even stronger, she immediately changed her mind.
Although Jiang Chen didn't really care, he always felt some dislike toward this kind of girl.
So what if she was beautiful?
It's all the same once the lights are off… oh… this one is different. Other than her face, she has nothing else.
She's not even as good as the current little Ying.
When Ye Lingling heard this, her pretty face instantly turned deathly pale. She had actually been despised by someone.
Her expression became dejected, and she left alone and lonely.
"Teacher, aren't you going to give her a chance?" Dugu Yan asked.
"Actually, other than being a bit arrogant, she's quite good in other aspects."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then shouted toward Ye Lingling's departing back: "Then let's have a meal together."
Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled. She turned around in surprise and quickly walked back.
Yu Tianheng pulled Dugu Yan along. "Teacher, you two go ahead. Yan-Yan and I still have some matters to handle at the academy."
After speaking, the two winked at Jiang Chen and left with smiling faces.
Jiang Chen brought Ye Lingling to a nearby restaurant, booked a private room, and ordered several signature dishes.
He couldn't help secretly licking his lips. A maiden's blood was extremely tempting, especially that of a pure and delicate begonia flower.
"I'll treat this meal," Ye Lingling said with a beautiful smile, trying her best to display her charm to improve her impression in Jiang Chen's heart.
Jiang Chen didn't speak. After all the dishes were served, he locked the door of the private room and looked at the blue-haired, blue-eyed maiden with interest.
Seeing Jiang Chen's actions and gaze, Ye Lingling became somewhat panicked.
Her eyes darted away, her heart pounding wildly. She wondered if Jiang Chen wanted to do something to her.
She was quite confident in her appearance.
Jiang Chen's talent was high, but if she had to give herself to him right now, she was extremely unwilling.
Because Jiang Chen had not given her any promises yet.
"What do you want to do?" she asked warily.
Jiang Chen pulled over a chair, sat down casually, and asked with a smile: "You invited me to dinner, wasn't it because you wanted to become friends with me?"
Ye Lingling nodded.
"And you also want me to become your future husband, to protect you and the sect behind you, right?" Jiang Chen didn't beat around the bush at all and said it directly.
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had already told him about Ye Lingling's intentions.
The rules of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect were similar to those of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The women who inherited the Nine-Hearted Begonia needed to marry powerful soul masters to ensure the sect's inheritance continued and was not swallowed or occupied by others.
Ye Lingling's expression became somewhat embarrassed. She did indeed have such thoughts in her heart.
It was just that she hadn't decided yet. She still wanted to understand Jiang Chen more deeply before making a decision.
For example, Jiang Chen's personality, age, which force he belonged to, and so on.
But she never expected Jiang Chen to be so direct and expose her intentions during their very first meal.
Ye Lingling didn't speak and didn't dare to look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen chuckled softly and said, "I already have wives, and there are two of them. If you don't mind, I can let you be a concubine."
He was only saying it casually to see how this maiden would choose.
Ye Lingling suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
Such an outstanding man already had wives.
A huge sense of loss suddenly surged in her heart, and she felt deep regret.
A year ago, when Dugu Yan brought Jiang Chen to the Imperial Academy, she should have gotten to know him then.
But now, asking her to be a concubine? How was that possible?
With her status as the successor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, how could she be willing to become someone else's concubine?
Moreover, if word got out, she would be ridiculed.
She slowly shook her head, forcing a smile onto her pretty face. "I invited you to dinner only to apologize for my previous rudeness. We can become good friends."
She wanted to settle for the next best thing. If she could become friends with Jiang Chen, then once he became powerful in the future, he could still protect her and her sect.
Jiang Chen stood up and approached her. His lecherous gaze scanned her delicate and frail body.
"What if I want to have you right now?"
Ye Lingling's expression changed drastically. She never expected Jiang Chen to be this kind of person.
Her face turned deathly pale, without a trace of blood. She stood up in panic, even knocking over the chair.
"What do you want to do?" she shouted delicately.
"Hehe, other than what a man wants to do, what else could I do?" Jiang Chen rubbed his fists together, preparing to teach this proud maiden a profound lesson.
Ye Lingling's mind fell into chaos, her expression filled with extreme terror.
She was a healing-type soul master. What could she use to resist a powerful attack-type Soul King?
Seeing Jiang Chen about to pounce on her, she suddenly darted out, circled the table, and tried to rush out the door.
But before her hand could touch the door lock, Jiang Chen grabbed her back, pressed her down, and sat her on the chair.
Jiang Chen's saliva flowed profusely. The maiden's temptation was indeed very strong.
When he was at the Spirit Hall before, he had already discussed with Bibi Dong the few outstanding young talents of the current era.
Bibi Dong also felt that this Ye Lingling was good and could be one of the candidates for Jiang Chen to control.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect was also one of the forces unwilling to join the Spirit Hall. If he could control Ye Lingling, it would be equivalent to the Spirit Hall possessing two Nine-Hearted Begonia soul masters.
Therefore, his actions today had been planned long ago and were not impulsive.
No matter what Ye Lingling's personality or character was like, he didn't care. Once she was bitten by him, wouldn't she obediently obey?
Direct and crude control was better than wasting time on careful training.
That snow-white, tender neck was so tempting and even emitted a faint begonia flower fragrance.
Ye Lingling watched Jiang Chen's large mouth approach her neck and couldn't help but panic.
Her body struggled, but her shoulders were pinned down by Jiang Chen, so she couldn't stand up at all.
Her two legs kicked wildly, even trying to strike Jiang Chen's vital area.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and directly sat on those two slender legs. The girl finally couldn't resist anymore.
"Help… help…!" Ye Lingling shouted. Despair filled her blue eyes.
She had never imagined that she would one day be forcibly taken. At this moment, she even thought of ending her own life.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person," she said, looking at Jiang Chen with hatred.
Jiang Chen ignored her. His teeth directly pierced her delicate skin and she began to enjoy this delicacy.
Jiang Chen was satisfied. Ye Lingling's blood was actually the best-tasting among all the maidens he had sampled.
The flavor was fragrant and sweet, making him unable to stop at all.
Of course, only a vampire would find blood delicious. If a normal human drank a mouthful, they might vomit their stomach out.
After the needle-like sharp pain, Ye Lingling finally noticed something was wrong.
Jiang Chen's mouth remained on her neck the whole time, swallowing her blood in large gulps.
At this moment, only endless terror remained in her heart.
She finally understood what those two sharp fangs were for when Jiang Chen's martial soul transformed, they were actually used to drink blood.
As her blood gradually dried up, her body began to turn cold.
"So he wasn't after my body, but wanted to drink my blood…" Ye Lingling felt as if she were about to die.
Bang bang bang… knocking sounds came from the door.
The waiter had heard Ye Lingling's cries for help earlier but didn't dare enter to check. He quickly ran to find the manager.
Sensing that Ye Lingling's life was about to wither away, Jiang Chen finally stopped.
This girl was still useful; he had to keep her.
