Chapter 50: A Lesson Until Dawn
The chilling, seductive moan made Lin Tianlu’s heart skip a beat.
This sense of déjà vu was unsettling.
“Miss Cheng, what are you…”
“I’ve never practiced martial arts before, yet I was able to grasp the essence of this axe technique so easily, all thanks to your personal guidance and generosity, Sir.” Cheng Yishi’s smile was alluring, her voice a soft purr. “But now that I’ve mastered the basics, I feel a burning heat within me, an uncontrollable desire. I wonder, Sir—”
Lin Tianlu coughed lightly. “Our meeting is fate, Miss Cheng. This was just a small effort. There’s no need for such gratitude.”
“You’re always so polite, Sir, constantly rejecting my advances.”
Cheng Yishi’s eyes gleamed with a blood-red light as she chuckled softly. “Could it be that Madam Mao or Miss Hua hold a special place in your heart?”
She stepped closer, her grip tightening on the axe handle, the metal creaking.
Lin Tianlu frowned slightly. “That’s not the reason. It’s just that, Miss Cheng, you…”
“Ah~”
Cheng Yishi sighed dramatically, her hand on her cheek, a seductive smile on her face. “I’ve been diligently gathering information these past few days, Sir. That Madam Mao is very close to you, practically inseparable, day and night. And Miss Hua is always by your side, often staying overnight. I wonder what kind of intimate activities you’ve been engaging in… It makes me quite envious~”
Despite the smile on her lips, her words carried a chilling coldness that swept through the courtyard.
As Lin Tianlu was about to speak, she quickly continued, “There’s no need to explain, Sir. With how those two beauties treat you, they must have fallen for you.”
“Since you’re so certain they have feelings for me, Miss Cheng, then you…”
“Why can’t I fight for you?”
Cheng Yishi swayed her hips seductively, dragging the axe towards him, her eyes gleaming. “You’re not married yet, Sir, which means I still have a chance. All I have to do is take you away from those two women, and everything will fall into place.”
“Once we’re wed, everything I own will belong to you, Sir. I’ll serve you with all my heart, fulfilling your every desire, following you to the ends of the earth.”
“But… if Madam Mao and Miss Hua refuse…” She tilted her head slightly, her grip tightening on the axe, a sinister smile appearing on her lips. “Then I’ll have to teach them a lesson.”
“Miss Cheng!”
Seeing his disapproval, Cheng Yishi quickly lowered her eyes. “If you’re displeased, Sir, I’ll stop being so aggressive towards them. I’ll treat them with courtesy. But my feelings for you are true and unwavering. Even if you travel to the ends of the earth, even if you reject me, my heart will never change.”
Lin Tianlu’s expression turned complex.
For a woman to abandon her restraint and confess her feelings so openly, it was like a vow, a declaration of unwavering love. Even he couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
Cheng Yishi gently took his hand, her eyes downcast, her voice soft. “Sir, you’ve shown kindness and affection to both Madam Mao and Miss Hua. But do you truly not see my heart?”
“Miss Cheng,” Lin Tianlu sighed, “although love at first sight exists, your feelings are being influenced by the Yin energy.”
Although he now possessed near-immortal powers, his emotions and desires were still human. With such a beautiful woman before him, her beauty enhanced by the Yin energy, it was natural for him to be attracted to her.
But that didn’t mean he would succumb to every temptation. Especially since this woman’s mind was being affected by the Yin energy. Her words and actions couldn’t be taken at face value.
“Are you so certain it’s the Yin energy, Sir?”
Cheng Yishi sighed softly. “Do you truly not believe that I have feelings for you?”
“Even if I did believe you, what then?” Lin Tianlu chuckled. “We’ve only known each other for a few days.”
Cheng Yishi fell silent.
Seeing that her emotions seemed to have stabilized, Lin Tianlu sighed in relief. He was about to speak when she suddenly placed her hand on his chest, her voice a soft, seductive purr. “Then allow me to leave a lasting impression on your heart, Sir… a memory you’ll never forget.”
As she spoke, she dropped the axe and pressed her cold body against his, the Yin energy swirling around her.
Feeling her soft curves against him, Lin Tianlu’s expression froze.
All thoughts of resisting her vanished from his mind.
“Are you… playing with fire?”
“If you don’t believe me, Sir, feel free to touch my heart and see if it’s lying.” Cheng Yishi stood on tiptoe, her beautiful eyes filled with a seductive warmth.
As they pressed closer, her gauzy robe slipped down her arm, revealing her delicate collarbone, adorned with a faint lotus marking. He glanced down and saw her alluring curves, the markings tracing a path along her skin, both seductive and sacred.
Lin Tianlu took a deep breath.
As his resolve wavered, he suddenly felt a strange sensation within Mount Taiyi.
Focusing inward, he saw that the solitary white lotus on the cliff had bloomed, swaying gently, like a woman dancing, yearning for attention. The ethereal figure that was gradually taking shape within the lotus was shedding her clothes, her jade-like body glowing with a seductive aura under the swirling Yin energy.
Lin Tianlu was startled.
A strange, golden and silver aura was emanating from the ethereal figure. Sensing it, he felt a slight tremor in his heart, as if this energy could somehow benefit him. This was a first since he had arrived in this world.
“Master~”
A seductive moan echoed in his ear, and he realized that Cheng Yishi had taken his hand and was guiding it towards her chest, pressing it against the blooming lotus. Her skin was cool and smooth, her face flushed with a mixture of shyness and desire.
“Can you feel my heart trembling?”
“Miss Cheng, you…”
“There’s no need for further words, Sir.” Cheng Yishi’s eyelashes fluttered, her body swaying seductively. “If you have any concerns, any guilt, I’m willing to be your temporary companion, just for tonight.”
She blinked her eyes, her voice a mixture of resentment and playfulness. “Could it be that you find me unattractive, Sir? Or perhaps you’re not interested in women at all? Do you prefer men, or are you perhaps…”
Lin Tianlu covered her lips with his hand, his expression darkening slightly.
“So, if I continue to refuse, I’ll be seen as a weak and undesirable man.”
He no longer hesitated.
Her words had cornered him. If he continued to resist, his cultivation in the mortal world would be a joke.
“Since you’re so insistent, Miss Cheng, then I shall respond… Why don’t you help me with my cultivation?”
Although this was taking advantage of her, he would try his best to make amends later.
Cheng Yishi’s eyes sparkled with joy.
—She had finally given him her gift.
Wealth and status meant nothing to her. Only her innocence, her trembling heart, were the most precious gifts she could offer.
She wrapped her arms around him, her voice a soft moan. “I’ve been waiting for this moment…”
A gasp echoed through the quiet courtyard, her white hair dancing in the wind.
Under the moonlight, their passionate embrace unfolded, a scene of love and desire.
The intensity of their passion dimmed the night, making the flowers and plants hide their faces in shame. Even the locust tree in the courtyard swayed gently, its branches curling inward, as if embarrassed by this intimate display.
