Chapter 179: No Means No
Qiao Wan was taken aback, then her brain started to think quickly.
For some time, Pei Chunzheng was clearly not himself. Memories of various online literary works from her past life suddenly came to her mind, and Qiao Wan had a sudden realization.
Is he going to become a villain?!
Now, here comes the problem.
Qiao Wan still remembers Pei Chunzheng's role as the "sickly, gloomy demon king." Now that his sickly personality has resurfaced, and he's on the verge of turning into a villain, what should she do?
At this moment, words alone won't be enough to convince him.
As for using physical force...
First, she can't act recklessly right now.
Second, he's someone who remembers all the times he has been fed but forgets all the times he has been hit.
Pei Chunzheng's gaze flickered slightly.
The girl's fair and slender neck made the red mark even more noticeable.
He likes Qiao Wan...
He...
The boy's eyes turned slightly red, reflecting the flickering flames. He emotionlessly pulled off the headband at the back of his head, and his black hair flowed out in an instant.
With disheveled hair and a fair face like snow-capped mountains, his dark eyes had a hint of a demonic red glow.
Just as the boy's cold lips were about to touch hers, in a moment of crisis, Qiao Wan had a sudden realization.
She had an idea!
So, she opened her eyes wide and calmly said, "Come on."
The boy was slightly stunned.
Qiao Wan's eyes were steady as she said, "Come, trample on me."
With determination, she closed her eyes and shouted, "Come on!! Don't pity me just because I'm delicate like a flower!!"
She couldn't believe that Pei Chunzheng would continue to become evil in this situation!
As soon as she finished speaking, the cave suddenly fell silent.
The cracking sound of firewood could be clearly heard.
Qiao Wan slowly opened a slit in her eyelids and clearly saw Pei Chunzheng frozen in surprise.
After all, according to the usual sequence of events for someone becoming evil, it should be the girl who is in a panic, begging for mercy. And the yandere, upon hearing the girl's rejection, would soar fearlessly down the path of becoming evil like an unleashed wild dog.
It was rare to see someone as composed and shameless as she was.
She really was a clever little devil.
Pei Chunzheng was shocked.
He had thought that Qiao Wan would resist.
She even thought about hitting him directly with her fist, but... he definitely didn't expect things to turn out like this.
So, just as the darkness was halfway through taking over, it suddenly got stuck.
Their lips brushed against each other, and then he froze next to her ear.
The dark energy in his eyes gradually faded away, and Pei Chunzheng looked down, suddenly sensing that something was off.
This red mark was a bit strange.
Qiao Wan said, "Come on, face me head-on, even if you're trapped in darkness...!!"
Her neck was suddenly pressed down, caught off guard.
The cold fingertips landed on her skin and rubbed forcefully twice.
Through the warm skin, it felt as if they could touch the pulsing veins.
"What..." Pei Chunzheng slowly lowered his gaze, "is this?"
What?
Qiao Wan was momentarily stunned.
Then, she suddenly realized that Pei Chunzheng was referring to the rouge mark on her neck - was this strange feeling all because of the mark on her neck?!
At this moment, the energy in Qiao Wan's body finally completed a cycle. Now, there's no need to worry about losing control or any risks.
Qiao Wan quietly stretched her muscles and stood up expressionlessly, raising her fist.
Boom!!
Her fist hit the young boy's dark head.
The blow caused Pei Chunzheng's body to sway.
"This is Linglang Pavilion's rouge," Qiao Wan said calmly after the punch sent Pei Chunzheng sprawling to the ground. Without warning, she grabbed his collar and brought her cold face close to his.
"Do you know this is Linglang Pavilion's new product?"
Pei Chunzheng blinked bewilderedly, furrowing his brows. "Isn't this... made by Cen Qingyou?"
Then, he was knocked to the ground again by a punch.
It turns out... it wasn't made by Cen Qingyou.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Pei Chunzheng leaned against the wall, holding his head and coughing.
After the initial shock and anger, a wave of joy suddenly engulfed his heart.
The feeling was indescribable, even to himself.
The young boy with dark silk-like hair hanging on his cheeks, sat on the ground with a broken leg, blood staining his clothes and a vacant look on his pale face.
Solving problems with violence was not a solution.
Qiao Wan, watching Pei Chunzheng sit on the ground, helpless and pitiful, thought for a while.
She remembered from the original story of "Immortal Ascending Road" that Pei Chunzheng had a tragic childhood.
Looking at this messed up teenager with a miserable childhood, she realized that he was already twisted at the core.
Instead of resorting to violence, it would be better to find another way, to educate and guide him back, so he wouldn't bully young girls in the future.
With this in mind, Qiao Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are the talismans?"
Pei Chunzheng lifted his head, then lowered his gaze again, saying, "They are in the pouch at my waist."
She reached over and took off the pouch hanging from the boy's waist.
She searched through it and found what she was looking for.
Binding talismans.
Qiao Wan tightly held the binding talisman in her hand and confidently cast a spell, saying, "Bind!"
The spiritual veins snaked up Pei Chunzheng's limbs as if they were alive, wrapping tightly around him. Qiao Wan bound him securely, tying him up completely.
The young man was taken aback and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Wan looked up calmly and replied, "I'm tying you up."
"Don't move. If you do, I can't guarantee what will happen."
After completing all this, Qiao Wan silently reached into her storage bag and took out a box of cosmetics from Linglang Pavilion. It was a special kind of makeup that would not smudge or fade no matter how long it was worn.
"Have you seen the cosmetics from Linglang Pavilion?" she asked.
She dabbed a little on her finger and applied it to Pei Chunzheng's pale lips.
As the dark energy receded, his eyes regained their clarity. Pei Chunzheng raised his head and pressed his lips tightly together, a hint of bright red color staining them. His eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
Closing the cosmetic box, Qiao Wan rummaged through her bag and took out more than ten hair bows, each with a different design and style.
Qiao Wan put a black bow in his hair.
Pei Chunzheng's face changed suddenly: "Qiao Wan?!"
Qiao Wan expressionlessly put another bow on the boy's head: "If you were trying to make me angry on purpose, let me tell you, you succeeded."
She put on a third bow.
"This fire you ignited, you have to put it out yourself."
Pei Chunzheng's fair face turned slightly red with shame, he forced out a few words through clenched teeth, his whole body stiff like a piece of wood: "Let go of me."
Qiao Wan said: "If it feels uncomfortable, just say so. Look, your face has turned red."
Pei Chunzheng remained silent.
Qiao Wan piled all the bows on Pei Chunzheng's forehead. She took a step back, coldly pulling up a corner of her lips and said the classic line of a domineering CEO: "I'll make sure you're covered in my little bows, you won't be able to escape in this lifetime."
After finishing with the bows, it was time for the dress.
She took out a light pink chiffon dress from a storage bag.
How annoying.
Qiao Wan, wearing a little dress she had never worn before, was about to sell it cheaply to Pei Chunzheng, a man. She had bought it on the way to the Song Mansion, a popular fashion in the Liu Xu Desert. It revealed a petite waist and had multiple layers of hem, resembling blooming lotus flowers, giving it an exotic vibe. Ignoring Pei Chunzheng's angry expression, she untied the binding charm and skillfully dressed him in the outfit.
With a broken leg, unable to move or fight back, Pei Chunzheng was humiliated as she forced him into women's clothing.
The exposed half of his slender waist showed well-defined abs, even thinner than hers. His broad shoulders and muscular arms almost burst through the sleeves.
Finally, there was one step left. She took out a mirror.
Qiao Wan asked, "How do I look? Are you satisfied with what you see?"
The reflection in the mirror showed a young girl with flowing black hair and beautiful features, but with more than ten fancy butterfly bows on her forehead.
The girl's face turned pale, then flushed, as she silently clenched her hands tightly.
He would never like Qiao Wan!!
Without expression, Qiao Wan tucked the mirror back into her sleeve and sat cross-legged. She glanced at Pei Chunzheng and finally entered teaching mode: "Don't like it? Unwilling to accept it?"
She tapped the blackboard.
"You men are just disregarding the wishes of girls. If the roles were reversed, you wouldn't be able to accept it?"
Pausing for a moment, Qiao Wan took a few steps forward and pushed Pei Chunzheng into the corner of the wall. With a loud bang, her fist hit the wall, causing some pieces of rock to fall down.
"If I treated you like this, would you like it?"
The "girl" looked up in shock. Her black hair was disheveled, and a vein popped out on her beautiful face. "You!"
Qiao Wan lowered her gaze and looked at the "girl" pressed against the wall. Today, she was determined to make these men taste how it feels to be pressed against a wall.
She grabbed the "girl's" dark and shiny hair, revealing a smile. "You say 'no' with your mouth, but your body is quite honest, isn't it?"
The girl's answer is a no, and it means no! Do you understand? When a girl says no, it means no!
No means rejection! It's not about playing hard to get or playing along!
Pei Chunzheng's face was filled with various expressions, "Are you crazy?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked down by a punch.
The fist pressed hard against the "girl's" head.
"Do you self-centered, selfish, and spoiled people treat Mu Xiaoxiao like this on a regular basis? Do you have any respect for others?"
"You colorful and rainbow-producing dog men, you are all trash!"
Qiao Wan looked at the "girl" kneeling in front of the stone wall, securely tied up, calmly brushed off the debris from her clothes, and said with an emotionless face, "Reflect on yourself and understand what 'no means no' means."
After doing all this, Qiao Wan reached into Pei Chunzheng's clothes and pulled out a Souvenir Jade Ball.
The Souvenir Jade Ball was already broken when it fell off the cliff, and it couldn't contact Kunshan.
However, she still wanted to give it another try.
She tried to infuse some magic into the jade ball, patiently playing with it. Suddenly, there were flickering images on the ball.
Qiao Wan was surprised: "Is it working?"
A distorted face of a young man reflected on the surface of the ball.
It was undoubtedly Xiao Boyang.
Xiao Boyang looked anxious: "Qiao Wan? Are you okay?"
What could possibly be wrong with her?
Qiao Wan scratched her head: "Me... What could be wrong with me?"
Xiao Boyang was taken aback and unconsciously looked behind Qiao Wan.
After his gaze fell upon the dainty figure in the corner, a beautiful face froze visibly.
"This is Pei Chunzheng?"
Xiao Boyang was shocked.
Qiao Wan held the jade ball in her hands, turned it in a different direction, and calmly asked Xiao Boyang: "This is Pei Achun. Do you think she's pretty? Achun, it's time to meet our guest."
Xiao Boyang's figure swayed slightly, perfectly showing the impact he was currently experiencing.
"......"
This is Pei Chunzheng! This pitiful guy, he's so... sobbingly stunning as a beautiful girl?!
Originally, when Pei Chunzheng suddenly pulled Qiao Wan away, Xiao Boyang's heart skipped a beat.
As a fellow man, he keenly sensed something wrong. Seeing that Qiao Wan hadn't returned, he hurriedly rushed to the cliff. When he saw the mess, he knew things were even more off.
And now...
Worried about Qiao Wan being manipulated by Pei Chunzheng, he felt like a fool.
Pure gold, real gold!
He shouldn't be worried about Qiao Wan's virtue.
His gaze caught sight of the slight red marks on the fair, young boy's face, neck, and collarbone, as well as the ambiguous ropes binding them.
Trembling, Xiao Boyang asked, "What exactly did you do to Pei Chunzheng's virtue?!"
