Chapter 159: Don't Tell Anyone
Chapter 159: Don't Tell Anyone
Upon hearing Wu You's words, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across her face. She hesitated, but eventually spoke up, "It's about what happened with my clothes earlier. Why didn't you remind me? You know how embarrassed I was after taking off the reactive metal exoskeleton armor in the rescue vehicle!"
Li Qian immediately recalled the incident and blurted out without thinking, "That kind of thing, how could I possibly remind you?"
Wu You's expression instantly changed from embarrassment to anger. She glared at Li Qian, making him feel a bit nervous.
At this moment, Li Qian realized that this Wing Clan woman had been testing him.
Unaware, he had blurted out the truth.
In his mind, he knew he had made a mistake, and the next moment, the Wing Clan woman directly confronted him. She pointed at Li Qian's nose and asked, "So, you really saw everything and even lied to me about it?"
Li Qian didn't hesitate and firmly defended himself, refusing to let this blame fall on him, "Miss Wu, you can't blame me for this."
"If it's not your fault, should I blame myself?" The Wing Clan woman was furious and laughed sarcastically. She pointed at her nose and continued her interrogation.
Li Qian nodded seriously, agreeing with her, "If we really want to get to the bottom of this, you should blame yourself."
Seeing Wu You's anger and her apparent urge to explode, Li Qian couldn't hold back any longer. He pitifully explained himself, "You're such a big person, and you suddenly fell from the sky with a loud thud, landing face down right in front of me."
"Moreover, you fell face-first, and I happened to be checking on you. I couldn't avoid seeing it."
After saying this, he spread his hands, displaying an innocent expression.
Indeed, Li Qian truly believed he wasn't at fault in this matter.
Compared to rescuing Wu You, a brief glimpse of her buttocks was a minor detail, not worth making a fuss over.
Of course, this was just his own opinion.
And he knew he couldn't voice this thought.
Seeing that Wu You still wasn't letting it go, he continued his defense, "To be honest, I didn't want to see it either, but it was right there in front of me."
"So, you're saying that seeing my... was a loss for you?" Wu You coldly retorted, listening to Li Qian's excuses.
In truth, at this moment, she didn't know how to respond. Objectively speaking, Li Qian hadn't done anything wrong.
Blaming him for this situation was indeed unjust.
Moreover, strictly speaking, he had saved her life.
However, no matter how she tried to rationalize it, she couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable. Her buttocks had been exposed to a stranger in such a way.
That was one of the most private parts of a woman's body.
In this lifetime, only her beloved should see it...
So, she was furious, but at this moment, she didn't know who to direct her anger towards. Being angry at herself was unnecessary, and being angry at Li Qian felt like repaying kindness with enmity.
"Alright, enough of this. Don't overthink it. We're both beastmasters, and according to the ancient teachings of our home planet, we're like siblings in the world of cultivation. Siblings shouldn't worry about such formalities," Li Qian chuckled and comforted Wu You.
He even shared a childhood anecdote, "Sister Wu You, in my heart, you're like my older sister. When my brother and I were kids, we used to play and pee together with our bare bottoms..."
Li Qian stopped mid-sentence, realizing he had said something wrong. He turned his head and, as expected, saw that Wu You's face had turned a bit cold.
It was his own fault for getting carried away and not holding back his words. This was a matter that should be kept deeply hidden, not repeatedly mentioned.
Wasn't he just rubbing salt into someone's wound?
Moreover, brothers are brothers, and women are women; they are not the same.
He was getting carried away, carried away, a bit too carried away!
Li Qian silently admonished himself.
"You have to promise me that this matter will never be spoken of again." After staring at Li Qian for a while, Wu You finally took a deep breath and spoke.
Li Qian immediately raised three fingers, vowing, "Sister Wu You, I swear I will never speak of what I saw of your..." He was about to say the word "buttocks" but received a cold stare from Wu You, so he quickly changed his words.
"What did you see of You You?" Just as Li Qian's words fell, before even a second had passed, a familiar voice rang out.
Li Qian followed the sound and soon saw a familiar figure on a stone path not far from the white mansion.
The person approaching was none other than Lu Xiaoli, with her loli-like face.
Li Qian was relieved that he hadn't revealed any critical keywords, and at this moment, he could still cover it up.
He turned to Lu Xiaoli and chuckled, "Sister Xiaoli, I saw something of Wu You, you should be able to guess, right?"
Li Qian said this intentionally to guide Lu Xiaoli's thoughts towards Wu You's identity.
Indeed, his guidance worked. Lu Xiaoli froze for a moment, then quickly reacted.
Her eyes instantly became alert, and she gave Li Qian a suspicious glance. "Li Qian, the Wing Clan's identity is not to be taken lightly. If it falls into the wrong hands, it will definitely bring great danger to You You."
"So, Sister Xiaoli, I hope you'll be cautious about this matter and never speak of it."
At this moment, Lu Xiaoli had already imagined many things. She thought of the previous incident where Wu You was attacked, and it was likely due to her exposed identity.
Her imagination was quite accurate, as she had guessed the truth of the matter. Li Qian listened to her advice and nodded repeatedly, but inside, he sighed in relief.
Wu You also breathed a sigh of relief, as this matter was finally put to rest.
As for her fully exposed identity, she didn't mind it much.
After all, her identity as a member of the Wing Clan was already known to both Li Qian and Lu Xiaoli, so there was no need for secrecy.
After dealing with Lu Xiaoli, Li Qian continued, changing the topic, "By the way, Sister Xiaoli, why are you here too?"
"Dinner is ready. You You said she'd come to call you for dinner, but there's been no movement. I came to check on the situation." Lu Xiaoli explained.
Li Qian heard this and immediately exaggeratedly rubbed his stomach, "Oh, if Sister Xiaoli hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. My stomach is indeed growling at this moment."
