When Lin Huai teased the three of them, the straightforward Tian Yue immediately threw her arms around him.
With a tumble, they crashed onto the bed, scattering rose petals everywhere.
"What's the big deal? The bed's so big, ten more people could fit!"
Thinking that with so many people, things probably wouldn't get too out of hand—and that they'd mainly be meditating tonight anyway—Lin Huai scooted toward the middle and lay down among the roses.
"Do as you like. We'll be lying together sooner or later anyway."
Seeing this, Qian Renxue lay down beside Lin Huai as well. She breathed in the roses' heady fragrance, then waved her right hand and used Soul Power to sweep away most of the petals.
"That's better. There were too many; the scent was too strong."
Seeing that the two of them had taken up positions on either side of Lin Huai, Hu Liena took off her shoes and flung herself at him.
It was only because Lin Huai's body was fairly strong that the impact didn't send him through another reincarnation.
Without realizing it, Lin Huai's hand climbed a mountain peak. He gauged its height and decided that Tian Yue was beginning to develop nicely.
"Mmm—"
Though she'd said she wouldn't mind having the other two there, Tian Yue still blushed scarlet.
Lin Huai's other hand slipped around Qian Renxue. Through her sheer white stockings, he felt the warmth unique to an angel.
(Borrowed Nicole's stockings from Genshin Impact. Come to think of it, Nicole is an angel too.)
Seeing this, Hu Liena didn't hold back either. She went straight for Lin Huai with her teeth.
Her jade-like backside, still covered in fabric, slowly rubbed against Lin Huai.
Lin Huai couldn't help thinking, As expected of Little Fox. The other two are content to enjoy themselves passively, but you're the one who takes the initiative.
Time slowly passed. Just as Lin Huai was about to lose control, a voice in his mind brought him back to his senses.
"Lin Huai, it's time to cultivate!"
Lin Huai withdrew the hand that had been on Tian Yue's chest, slowly moving it from the high ground at the front to the low ground behind.
He also stopped feeling the little angel's warmth.
He braced both hands against Hu Liena, took the opportunity to gauge her size, and pushed her away.
"Time out. I need to take a bath, or I might not be able to control myself."
Lin Huai ignored his shirt, which had already been pulled off, and his pants, which had been tugged halfway down.
He went into the bathroom and heated the water in the enormous bathtub.
After taking off his clothes, he leaned against the edge of the tub and draped a towel over his face.
He'd never properly experienced anything like this in either of his two lives. How could he possibly have any self-control?
Two delicate beauties had offered themselves to him. If Lianlian hadn't reminded him in time, he would have already taken that final step.
Only then did the three women in the bedroom slowly come to their senses. Their faces were flushed, as if they had a high fever.
Hu Liena, who was the most carried away, complained:
"Xiao Huai ran off again!"
Qian Renxue adjusted her stockings and explained on Lin Huai's behalf:
"It can't be helped. The curse inside Xiao Huai still can't be suppressed. He's doing this for our sake."
"No way. Even if it's for our sake, I'm still going to punish him."
Tian Yue's snow-white skin was showing, and she shook her fist fiercely.
Hu Liena helped her straighten her clothes, curious to see how this little sister planned to punish Lin Huai.
"How are you going to punish Xiao Huai? I'll help with everything I've got!"
Qian Renxue looked curious too. Tian Yue always followed through on what she said, and she wanted to know what punishment Tian Yue had in mind.
"I'll go in and take a bath too. Then I'll make him suffer some more!"
The other two exchanged glances. Only Tian Yue could come up with a "punishment" like that.
But on second thought, she had said in the carriage that she'd make Lin Huai look but not touch. That certainly counted as punishment.
Tian Yue acted as soon as she'd decided. She took off her clothes and changed into her special lingerie.
She put the panties, darkened at the crucial spot, into her Soul Tool.
Seeing that Tian Yue really meant to go through with it, Qian Renxue and Hu Liena set aside their shyness and changed into the cute panties and bras they'd prepared.
Hu Liena picked up the little golden panties Qian Renxue had taken off.
"Look, Tian Yue! Big Sister Xue'er is so sweaty!"
Qian Renxue blushed again. She snatched back her panties and reached out to knead Hu Liena's breasts a few times.
"That's what you get for making fun of me!"
Hu Liena didn't hold back either. She threw her arms around Qian Renxue and grabbed her breasts.
Watching the two of them play around, Tian Yue got up first and headed for the bathroom.
The two women on the bed realized Tian Yue had snuck off ahead of them again, and stopped bickering.
"I love taking baths, they make me feel so good, ah-ah-ah!"
"Ah! Why are you all here? I'm not done bathing yet!"
Lin Huai had been singing at the top of his lungs in the bathroom. When he saw the three women walk in, he blurted out his question.
Taking a closer look, he saw that all three were dressed quite nicely.
Hu Liena looked at Lin Huai, who was sinking into the water, and grinned mischievously.
"What are you afraid of? Haven't I already seen yours?"
"Besides, the bathtub's so big. There's nothing wrong with bathing together."
Seeing how serious the three of them looked, Lin Huai quickly took a pair of swimming trunks out of his Soul Tool and put them on.
But the water was crystal clear, and the three women still saw his impressively endowed third leg.
It was Tian Yue's first time seeing it with her own eyes, so she couldn't help feeling a little shy.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, meanwhile, looked perfectly composed.
The three women stepped into the tub on their long legs and, unusually, sat as far away from Lin Huai as possible.
Lin Huai had a feeling the three of them were up to something. He planned to wash quickly and get out as soon as he could.
Qian Renxue saw what he was thinking and spoke languidly.
"Xiao Huai, if you soak for another half hour, we'll forgive you for getting us all worked up without following through."
Lin Huai froze, then scratched his face.
"Xiao Xue, you should understand my predicament."
Hu Liena stood up, hooked a finger into the waistband of her panties, and gave it a gentle tug.
Snap!
Holy crap! As a seasoned connoisseur, Lin Huai was instantly worked up by that classic scene.
"We understand your predicament, of course. But you have to experience our suffering too!"
Hu Liena sat back down in the water, as if she'd only done it to tease Lin Huai.
Tian Yue's words made things even harder for him.
"Xiao Huai, for the next half hour, you only have to look at us. No meditating or running away, okay?"
During the next half hour, Lin Huai's eyes feasted on the sights before him.
But his little brother suffered, standing at attention for a full half hour.
He kept reciting the Heart Sutra under his breath.
Qian Renxue blushed as she straightened the two little garments, then said:
"All right, Xiao Huai, you can go. Remember how this felt, and comprehend Blade Intent soon. Otherwise..."
Lin Huai stood up and left the bathroom.
Why bend over to hide it? Given their relationship, what was there to conceal?
After he came out, Lin Huai quickly circulated his Soul Power to let his little brother rest.
By the time the three women came out, Lin Huai was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating.
Qian Renxue and the other two sat cross-legged beside Lin Huai and began meditating too.
The night passed in silence.
Tian Yue finished meditating first and got up to wash.
The noise Tian Yue made woke the other three as well.
After eating the breakfast provided by the hotel, Tian Yue asked Lin Huai:
"Xiao Huai, what's our plan for today?"
"I was thinking of checking out a stream to the east. Do you want to come?"
Since Lin Huai had asked what they thought, the three women naturally decided to go with him.
"Good. Today, we'll go to Rising East Creek."
Qian Renxue and the other two looked confused. Beastly thing?
Lin Huai had expected them to misunderstand, so he explained:
"It means the rising morning light. The 'xi' in morning light sounds the same as the 'xi' in stream, and the stream is east of Suotuo City."
"That's what the locals named it."
