Chapter 21, needed to know thoroughly
"Are we going to cultivate together?" Xu Wendong stared blankly at Ding Yao, and after regaining his composure, he quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, absolutely not!"
Ding Yao’s eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable unease, "Do you look down on me?"
"No, no, no!" Xu Wendong nervously swallowed, "Dr. Ding, you have fair skin and a beautiful appearance, with exceptional temperament. Any normal man would be unable to resist your charm."
"Then why don’t you want to cultivate with me?" Ding Yao’s eyes held a hint of resentment, but inside, she felt as if she’d swallowed honey. Just as Xu Wendong said, she had fair skin, a stunning appearance, and an ethereal temperament. Whether in middle school, high school, or university, she was always at the level of a campus beauty.
She was confident in herself.
Xu Wendong was at a loss, "I... actually... actually, I really do want to cultivate with you. But, dual cultivation is not child’s play, and since you have a congenital heart disease, I’m afraid an accident might happen during cultivation."
Ding Yao curiously asked, "Can accidents happen during cultivation?"
Xu Wendong composed his words and nervously said, "I’m afraid I’ll over-exert you."
???
Ding Yao gave him an incredulous look, never imagining that Xu Wendong would say something so crude. However, despite the crudeness, it stirred a ripple in her heart.
She sat at the edge of the bed, smiling at Xu Wendong, "Actually, both you and I know, I might not live to a ripe old age; I could die any day. What I want to say is, if that’s really the case, I’d rather be... done in by you!" She spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, her face flushed with embarrassment.
