"Hey big sis, it's not that I don't trust you, but as you know, this concerns my life and death, so you must provide proof that will make me trust you," Su Chen said.

Cang Lang frowned upon hearing this.

Proof?

What could she use to prove it?

"How about this, big sis? You share one of your ultimate secrets with me, a secret no one else can know, and in exchange, I won't have to worry about you leaking mine," Su Chen said with a smile.

"My secret? I have no secrets," Cang Lang said.

"Impossible, everyone has secrets. Big sis, think carefully—if you have no secrets to exchange with me, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you recover," Su Chen responded.

Cang Lang frowned again.

Of course, she wanted to regain her strength.

And she wanted it very much.

Although her talent was astonishing,

reaching this level of cultivation indeed required her to sacrifice a lot.

The simplest being her love life.

For so many years, she focused solely on perfecting her Fighting Sword Technique to the Tenth Layer, never getting involved with any man.

"But I truly have no secrets," Cang Lang said, looking a bit troubled.

She always acted upright and straightforward.

Everything she did was true to her heart.

And indeed, she really didn't have any secrets.

"This is difficult," Su Chen said while rubbing his chin.

After all, this matter was important.

He couldn't easily let Cang Lang know his secret.

However, Cang Lang didn't have a secret to exchange.

Su Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Since big sis Cang Lang doesn't have a secret, how about we create one?"

"How do we create one?" Cang Lang asked.

"If my guess is correct, big sis probably doesn't have a boyfriend, right?"

"Nonsense! Who said I don't have a boyfriend!" Cang Lang said, slightly flustered.

"Ahem, big sis, stop lying. You really don't," Su Chen said confidently.

"What makes you say I don't have a boyfriend?" Cang Lang retorted.

"Alright then, since you're so sure you have one, let me ask you a question. If you answer it, it will prove you have a boyfriend."

"You, go ahead and ask!" As someone considered goddess-level, being doubted for not having a boyfriend was embarrassing for Cang Lang.

"Listen carefully to the question: After your boyfriend finishes pooping, does he wipe with his left hand or his right hand?"

Left hand or right hand?

Is that a question?

Well, it depends on personal habit, right?

But most people probably use their right hand, so without thinking, Cang Lang answered, "Right hand!"

"Wrong!"

"How do you know that's wrong? You've never seen my boyfriend!" Cang Lang gritted her teeth.

"Hehe, because, after men finish pooping, they use paper, not their hand. If your boyfriend uses his hand, that's disgusting!" Su Chen said, deliberately making a disgusted face.

Cang Lang: "..."

"Big sis, do you have anything else to say? Not knowing such basic common sense can only mean that you not only don't have a boyfriend but also rarely interact with men!" Su Chen said, smiling at Cang Lang.

Cang Lang's expression looked a bit unnatural.

Su Chen had guessed correctly.

Not only did she not have a boyfriend,

but she also had little interaction with men.

Over the years,

all her focus was on improving her martial cultivation.

She never paid attention to matters of romance.

It wasn't that no one wanted to pursue her.

But unfortunately, those men didn't meet her standards.

Or, if she found someone pleasing to the eye,

as soon as they discovered how powerful she was, they would disappear on their own.

Not long ago, a boy, a bit like a puppy, tried to pursue her.

The boy was fair-skinned, gentle-looking,

radiating a scholarly charm.

He did make Cang Lang's heart flutter a bit.

Although she was over thirty,

she appeared quite youthful.

As long as she didn't reveal her age, no one could tell.

The puppy was twenty-five.

So, Cang Lang said she was twenty-two.

She was quite serious about it,

always acting like a genteel lady, demure and delicate.

Until…

One day, after a date, they passed through a dark alley,

and were surrounded by several thugs.

The puppy wanted to protect her,

but ended up getting beaten badly.

Seeing her puppy being attacked,

Cang Lang lost her temper instantly.

In just a few seconds, she took down the thugs, leaving them incapacitated.

When she turned to look at the puppy again,

she saw him staring at her in sheer terror.

Cang Lang knew, it was over.

Sure enough,

the next day, the puppy blocked her on all communication channels.

After that incident,

Cang Lang realized,

the stronger a woman is, the harder it is to find a man.

So, she gave up looking for one.

She focused on cultivation instead.

"So what if I don't have a boyfriend? It's not that I can't find one; it's that I don't care, okay? Isn't playing on my phone fun? Isn't gaming fun? Why should I find a man just to constantly upset myself?" Cang Lang said, a bit annoyed and embarrassed.

"No, you must find one."

"Why do I have to?"

"Because, I want to be your boyfriend!" Su Chen finally revealed his goal after going around in circles.

"Impossible!" Cang Lang refused outright.

"Then I can't help you repair your meridians either."

"Why do you insist on me being your girlfriend?" Cang Lang frowned.

"Because curing you will expose my secrets, and if my secrets are exposed, it could bring disaster upon me. Only if you become my girlfriend can I feel at ease."

Seeing Cang Lang's furrowed brows, Su Chen continued, "Rest assured, I'm not asking for anything tangible from you. I just need this layer of relationship, and for you to swear on your martial heart!"

"Fine. If you can heal my meridians, I might consider being your girlfriend," Cang Lang said, her throat moving slightly.

She desperately wanted to recover.

The reason Su Chen chatted about random things with Cang Lang,

was not without purpose.

At least it helped him understand a bit about Cang Lang's personality.

After all, it was his first time meeting Cang Lang,

and he was about to take such a huge risk, risking exposure of his secrets.

However, from their brief exchange,

it seemed Cang Lang was a straightforward woman,

and likely someone who valued her promises.

Without wasting any more time, Su Chen let a wisp of Sword Light burst from his fingertip.

He cut his own wrist open.

Blood began to flow.

Seeing Su Chen's blood, Cang Lang was stunned.

"Hey, big sis, hurry up. My blood is very precious," Su Chen reminded, seeing Cang Lang still dazed.

"Whatever, it's now or never!" Cang Lang knew this might be her only chance to recover.
