A faint, chilling moan, both graceful and seductive, made Lin Tianlu's heart skip a beat.
This feeling of déjà vu was truly unnerving.
"Miss Cheng, what is this...?"
"As someone who has never practiced martial arts, I can easily grasp the profound mysteries of this axe technique. It's all thanks to Mister's personal guidance and generous gifts." Cheng Yishi lightly touched her lips, smiling enchantingly. "It's just that after mastering this axe technique, my heart burns like a raging fire, making me unbearably restless. I wonder, Mister—"
Lin Tianlu cleared his throat. "Miss Cheng, our acquaintance is fate. This is just a small gesture, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Mister is always so polite, always refusing my good intentions."
Cheng Yishi's eyes glowed with increasing crimson light, and she chuckled, "Is it because of Madam Mao, or is Miss Hua of great importance in Mister's heart?"
As she stepped closer, she secretly tightened her grip on the axe handle, making it creak.
Lin Tianlu frowned slightly. "This has nothing to do with it, it's just that Miss Cheng, you..."
"Ah~"
Cheng Yishi let out a soft sigh, cradled her cheeks, and smiled charmingly. "I've been gathering information these past few days. Madam Mao and Mister are very close, almost inseparable, day and night. And Miss Hua is even more so, always by his side, sharing a room. Who knows what intimate and shameful things they've done, it's truly enviable~"
Although she smiled, the coldness in her words swept through the courtyard like a chilling wind.
Seeing that Lin Tianlu was about to speak, she quickly said first, "Mister doesn't need to explain. Since those two beauties treat you like that, I assume they've already given you their hearts."
"Since Miss Cheng is so certain they have feelings for me, then you..."
"Why can't I take you by force?"
Cheng Yishi's graceful figure swayed as she dragged the large axe, step by step, in front of Lin Tianlu. Her enchanting eyes were like silk as she said, "Mister is not yet married, so I still have a chance. As long as I can take Mister away from those two women, it will all fall into place naturally."
"Once we are married, everything in the Cheng Family will belong to Mister. I will dedicate myself to serving Mister, fulfilling any request you have, and following you through thick and thin."
"But... if Madam Mao and Miss Hua are unwilling." She slightly tilted her head, tightened her grip on the axe, and revealed a chilling smile. "Then I'll have to make them suffer."
"Miss Cheng!"
Seeing his expression darken slightly, Cheng Yishi couldn't help but lower her beautiful eyes. "If Mister is displeased, I will no longer be aggressive towards those two and will treat them with courtesy. But my feelings for Mister are unforgettable in this life, and I will never give up easily. Even if Mister goes to the ends of the earth, no matter how you refuse, my feelings will remain the same."
Lin Tianlu listened with a complex expression.
For a woman to cast aside her pride and speak such heartfelt words was no different from a vow of confession. Even he couldn't help but be shaken.
Cheng Yishi quietly took his wrist and murmured, her eyes downcast, "Mister, Madam Mao and Miss Hua have both received your favor, but do you truly not know my feelings?"
"Miss Cheng," Lin Tianlu sighed. "Although there is love at first sight in this world, your feelings are driven by yin energy."
Although he now possessed almost immortal abilities, his emotions and desires remained. Such a beauty acting coy and shy before him would naturally attract him.
But this did not mean he would accept every temptation from a beautiful woman. Especially since this woman's mind was repeatedly influenced by yin energy, her words and actions could not be taken seriously.
"Mister is so certain it's the work of yin energy?"
But Cheng Yishi sighed softly. "Do you really not believe that Mister has already captured my heart?"
"Even if I believed it, what then?" Lin Tianlu chuckled. "We've only known each other for a few days."
Hearing this, Cheng Yishi fell silent.
Seeing that her emotions seemed to stabilize, Lin Tianlu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to comfort her, he was stunned to see her place her hand on his chest, a soft, seductive moan echoing leisurely:
"Then let me leave a deep impression in Mister's heart, so that Mister... will never forget me in this life."
As she spoke, she threw aside the large axe in her hand and pressed her cool, yin-infused body against him.
Feeling the soft touch of the jade body in his embrace, Lin Tianlu's expression became somewhat stiff.
The lewd images and the Ice Heart Art in his mind had vanished without a trace.
"You... are truly playing with fire?"
"If Mister doesn't believe me, why not personally explore my chest and see if it's lying?" Cheng Yishi stood on tiptoe slightly, her autumn-water eyes seeming to ripple with tenderness.
With a bit of squirming and pulling, her light gauze dress slid down to her arms, revealing her collarbone adorned with a lotus imprint. Glancing down, he saw the alluring curve of the young woman's body, intricate patterns winding along her skin, both seductive and sacred.
Lin Tianlu took a deep breath.
As his mind wavered, he suddenly felt a strange sensation within his Taiyi Immortal Mountain.
Hastily looking inward, he saw that the solitary white lotus on the cliff had quietly bloomed, swaying gently, like a woman's enchanting dance.
Lin Tianlu was astonished.
Because a strand of intertwined gold and silver energy was rising from within the woman's phantom image. Seeing it, his heart stirred, as if this energy was of some help to him. This was clearly the first time since he had transmigrated to this world.
"Mister~"
A soft, seductive murmur echoed in his ear. Lin Tianlu realized that Cheng Yishi had taken his hand and led it along his skin, tightly cupping the blooming lotus. It felt cool and smooth to the touch.
The young woman's charming face was now flushed with shyness and overflowing with affection.
"Do you feel my heart trembling?"
"Miss Cheng, you..."
"At this point, why must Mister still be so forceful with his words?" Cheng Yishi's eyelashes fluttered, her naturally seductive charm wriggling and swaying. She licked her fiery red lips. "If you have concerns and fear self-reproach, I am also willing to be a fleeting lover, just to spend a pleasant night with Mister."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes blinked, a mixture of resentment and playfulness. "Could it be that Mister dislikes my humble appearance? Or perhaps Mister is not interested in women, and prefers men, or is... impotent..."
Lin Tianlu covered her lips, his expression darkening slightly:
"If that's the case, then if I continue to push and shove, I'll only be looked down upon and slandered by you, Young Lady."
He no longer had any hesitation in his heart.
If he were to hesitate or refuse after being pressured by these words, his worldly cultivation this time would likely be mocked.
"Since you don't respect yourself, Young Lady, then I must respond… Miss Cheng, why don't you help me cultivate for a while."
Although this action was truly improper towards Miss Cheng, he could only hope to make amends wholeheartedly afterward.
Cheng Yishi's eyes couldn't help but dart around, a sweet smile blooming.
-- This gift, after all, was finally given.
Her family's wealth was insufficient, her status unremarkable; only her pure body and this trembling heart were the most precious gifts she could offer.
She opened her fair, jade-like arms and softly murmured, "Your humble servant has been waiting for a long time… Ah?!"
A startled cry echoed softly within the serene courtyard pavilion, her snow-white hair dancing in the wind.
Beneath the flowers and moon, a single spring night was already passionate and lingering.
This union, more than the passionate embrace of lovers, dimmed the night further. The flowers and plants seemed to shyly hide under the moon, and the locust tree in the courtyard swayed gently, its branches coiling and retracting as if ashamed to witness such an ambiguous and tender scene.
