Seizing the moment while his opponent was spent, Lin Feng closed in. One punch shattered a multitude of runes and subdued the little girl. With a bang, he caught her arm, feeling its silky smoothness.
His other hand was not idle either. He wrapped it around her slender waist, intending to hoist her up like an eagle snatching a chick.
"Oh no!"
The little girl's lovely, delicate face changed dramatically. It had happened too suddenly for her to dodge. One slip, and she had been captured.
"Hiss!"
Unwilling to submit, she resisted fiercely. Her luminous skin radiated scorching divine light, and she twisted ceaselessly, trying to break free.
But Lin Fan exerted his strength as well. His immensely powerful body ignored the silver light as he hooked one arm around her graceful neck and locked the other tightly around her waist.
At the same time, his feet left the ground and hooked around her legs. His entire body pressed against hers, like a sloth clinging to a tree.
"Let go of me!" the little girl shouted in shame and anger. They were so close now that they seemed fused together, each able to feel the heat of the other's breath.
She found this hard to bear. Never before had she been in such intimate contact with a boy. Even if he was just a little brat, it was still unbearable.
"No." Lin Fan refused firmly. He had finally caught her; how could he possibly let her go so easily? Wouldn't all that fighting have been for nothing?
Besides, what if the little girl ran away? With this place wrecked so badly, who would he demand compensation from, or make take the blame?
Immediately, Lin Fan held her even tighter. Dazzling golden light shone from his palms as he continually suppressed her with runes.
He also felt a soft warmth and caught a delicate fragrance. The girl in his arms was like a piece of the finest mutton-fat jade, so comfortable to hold that he actually wanted to keep holding her.
Pah, pah, pah... what am I thinking? She doesn't even count as **just beginning to show***. How can I have thoughts like that?
While Lin Fan muttered to himself, the little girl in his arms had already flushed scarlet. Her skin turned pink, and she was filled with shame and fury.
"Ah..." the little girl screamed, her voice piercing and shrill.
An immense force surged out immediately afterward. Her smooth, luminous body thrashed like a dragon's, almost breaking free of his grip.
Lin Fan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly held her fast. His golden runes continued to suppress her, seeking to seal her divine power so she could not turn the situation around.
Even gripping her did not set his mind at ease. It was far too precarious. Only by reducing her to an ordinary mortal could he feel secure.
The little girl's body was extremely powerful, among the very best at her cultivation level. He was certain she also soaked in golden body liquid regularly.
At this moment, a sense of danger rose in the little girl's heart. Once her divine power was sealed, she would be in grave peril, left like meat on the chopping block.
This was not the ending she wanted!
The next moment, her whole body glowed. She writhed fiercely like a dragon, trying to shake off the person clinging to her.
But how could Lin Fan let her have her way? Endless radiant light erupted between his fingers as he used his greatest strength to suppress her and prevent any unforeseen changes.
"Ah..." The little girl sighed. Light shone all over her as she recited a scripture, and her entire figure actually grew indistinct, about to vanish from this place.
"This..." Startled, Lin Fan knitted his brows tightly. He was clearly holding the little girl's body, so why was that soft, silky sensation disappearing?
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Heaven Mending Art!"
That had to be it. Only this immortal art could give everything a chance to "undo its mistakes," throwing all of space and time into disarray and reversing them to return to a particular moment.
Having joined the Heaven Mending Sect, Lin Fan naturally knew this great divine ability too and was thoroughly familiar with it. It was simply very difficult to perform at his current cultivation level.
Time flowed backward, and space twisted. The little girl struggled, twisting her waist as she tried to shift sideways and escape Lin Fan's control, like a dream or an illusion.
Lin Fan had no good way to stop any of this. His Supreme Bone was still on cooldown; otherwise, he could have given it a try.
Alternatively, if his mastery of the Heaven Mending Art had reached sufficient heights, he could have used it at the same time to counter hers.
Just as Lin Fan thought the little girl was about to escape, something unexpected happened...
"Pfft!"
The little girl actually spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face turned deathly pale, as though she had suffered a backlash, and her body swayed, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.
"Hehe, I thought you really were that amazing, able to use the Heaven Mending Art right after another great divine ability. Can't manage it now, can you? Serves you right for suffering a backlash."
Lin Fan laughed and captured her completely, pressing her facedown against the ground before swinging himself onto her back.
Clearly, the little girl sorely lacked combat experience. She had repeatedly used power beyond her own limits, overlooking how much she could withstand.
"You dare sit on me... do you know who I am?" the little girl shouted, her humiliation turning into rage.
"Smack!"
A loud, crisp sound rang out.
The little girl froze, utterly dumbfounded. Only after a long moment did she react. Her fair, lovely face filled with such shame and fury that she wished she could die, or find a hole to crawl into.
"You actually... dared to hit my..."
"Ah..."
Lin Fan brought his palm down again, spanking her little bottom as he barked, "Shut up. From now on, I ask and you answer. Dare utter even half a word of protest, and I'll smash your head!"
The little girl's eyes misted with tears, making her look pitiful. Clearly cowed by Lin Fan's ferocity, she no longer dared squirm or shout.
Lin Fan asked, "Name."
"Yue Chan," the little girl replied quietly. Her lovely face remained turned toward the ground, as though this could conceal her present humiliation. She was even too embarrassed to mention her status as the holy maiden, giving only her name.
"Just as I thought..." Lin Fan muttered. It was exactly what he had suspected.
Within the Heaven Mending Sect, no one else her age had such potential, could slip into this place, and could hold her own against him for a while. It could only be the holy maiden Yue Chan, who was also nominally his beautiful big sister's disciple.
So he asked again, "Sex. Age."
Beneath him, Yue Chan was speechless. She turned her head and rolled her eyes, as though saying, Are you blind? Can't you see? You have to ask that, and I have to answer?
"Smack!"
Lin Fan delivered another heavy slap to the same spot and said fiercely, "Answer properly! What are you rolling your eyes for?"
"You..." Yue Chan looked ferocious and was about to unleash a string of curses. But when she saw his raised hand, she immediately shrank back and answered obediently, "Female."
"Smack!"
Another slap landed.
"Ah... I already answered! Why are you still hitting me?" Yue Chan was mortified and angry, her little face flushed red. The tears in her eyes seemed ready to spill.
It was unclear whether she was crying from anger or from being hit.
In the end, however, she forcibly held them back. She did not want to embarrass herself any further, especially in front of this little brat.
"Behave yourself. Don't make me prompt you." The corners of Lin Fan's mouth lifted, a hint of amusement emerging as he gave a sly smile.
Who could have imagined that Yue Chan, the future greatest beauty of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, hailed as the reincarnation of True Immortal Azure Moon, would now be pinned beneath him? If word got out, it would scare a whole crowd to death!
Of course, Lin Fan did not forget to continue questioning her about why she had ambushed him.
