Miaoqiu wanted to run, but Lin Tian’s grip was too strong, and her body floated onto the bed.

Lin Tian held one hand, while the other was wrapped around her waist, embracing her like this.

Miaoqiu started to struggle with her arms and legs, but after a few seconds realized it was useless, so she gave up.

Frequent travelers by the river are bound to get their shoes wet.

She was just teasing Lin Tian, who would have thought this guy would actually dare to make a move? Wasn’t he supposed to lack the courage?

Lin Tian looked at her, with both hands covering her chest, appearing shy and demure, completely different from the seductress she was before, and immediately burst into laughter.

Miaoqiu glared angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"This might be the first time a man has held you like this, right?" Lin Tian asked.

"Nonsense!" Miaoqiu cursed softly, also giving up resistance, her hands naturally resting from her chest to the bed, saying, "Do whatever you want. When I was in the Liou Family, I was so proactive, yet you didn’t want me. If you want me now, go ahead and take me."

With that, Miaoqiu’s words brought Lin Tian’s mind back to that scene. She had torn open her clothes at the chest herself, revealing a full and enticing sight that truly made one’s pulse race.

"You don’t regret it?" Lin Tian asked.

Miaoqiu smiled and shook her head, "What’s there to regret? In my eyes, all men are the same, though you seem a bit special, at least I like you a little. Besides, you’re quite a hot commodity now, other prominent families make unknown trips here every day. If you take me, are you going to treat our Xu Family badly?"

Lin Tian smiled bitterly, "You’re still treating yourself as a bargaining chip?"

"It’s quite alright to become a chip you find valuable. They know you’re lustful, trying all means to curry favor with you, so there won’t be a shortage of beauties around you."

Lin Tian thought about it, that alluring scene was indeed something to look forward to.

Suddenly, Miaoqiu pinched Lin Tian’s arm viciously, pouting, "You’re still holding me, yet thinking about other women!"

Lin Tian gave a sheepish laugh, unable to respond to that comment.

"Right, let me ask you another question."

Lin Tian asked back, "What is it?"

"Have you and Ruyan gotten together yet?"

"Not yet, almost."

"Ha ha ha, looks like I’ll be her older sister again!"

Finishing her words, Miaoqiu stretched out her hands to hook Lin Tian’s neck, feeling both nervous and shy, she breathed out warmly, speaking in a tender voice, "You’re holding me, aren’t you planning to do something?"

Her gaze fixed intently at Lin Tian, exerting all her charm.

She had to admit, this guy’s self-control was indeed too strong, with any other man, would she even need to use Charm Technique?

The fragrance, warmth, and the soft, fragrant beauty in his arms seemed to be the sweetest things in the world.

A powerful passion.

...

This old-style building probably doesn’t have good soundproofing.

Nonetheless, Miaoqiu seemed to have forgotten this, just now her high fervent voice seemed to echo miles away. Surely, the Xu Family members won’t sleep well tonight.

Afterward, the two took a bath together, Miaoqiu kept the bed sheet with the red marks gently, replaced with a new one, and then they cuddled together for a sleep.

Miaoqiu was probably too exhausted, so she slept deeply, while Lin Tian had nothing much to do, gently massaging her Sea of Qi with his palm, Spiritual Qi helped reduce her pain and exhaustion.

Knock knock...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Tian got up, put on a dry, loose pajama, opened the door, and saw Xu Yaqin.

"Good morning, Yaqin," Lin Tian greeted with a smile.

"Morning? It’s already ten-thirty, almost lunch time, is it still early?" Speaking of which, Yaqin laughed mischievously, "But then again, after such exhaustion, an extended rest is necessary."

Lin Tian laughed awkwardly while scratching his head, being confronted about such matters made his face blush.

Yaqin extended her neck, glancing inside, whispered, "Is Miaoqiu still asleep?"

Lin Tian nodded awkwardly.

Yaqin playfully scolded, "You’re really something, this was Miaoqiu’s first time, yet you were so intense, even if she’s a mid-level Martial Artist, she can’t take it. If you scared her, she might not dare sleep with you again."

"..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about this, you’re embarrassed enough, let her sleep, come out with me first." Yaqin said.

Lin Tian closed the door and followed Yaqin outside.

Lin Tian had stayed at the Xu Family before, back then the family only had dozens of members, but today, for some reason, it was bustling with people everywhere.

All the Xu Family members, upon seeing Lin Tian, greeted him with a meaningful smile, and he ran into many familiar faces. Everyone asked about last night, nobody seemed worried for his health, of course, anyone performing such physically demanding activities through the night wouldn’t have poor health.

There were also many women, looking at Lin Tian as if seeing a starving tiger, eager to pounce on him together and strip him bare.

"Why does it feel like everyone knows?" Lin Tian asked. When such a secret is no longer a secret, explaining it to everyone made his head hurt.

Yaqin rolled her eyes and said, "You have the nerve to ask? Last night was so noisy, disturbing everyone’s peace, didn’t see there’re quite a few acquaintances, words spread quickly. Be glad it didn’t cause some strange versions to surface."

"Alright, let’s end this topic here. I called you out to tell you everyone’s watching, hoping to get something useful from you these days. The pill recipes you presented before are numerous but still insufficient for so many people. Initially, the Xu Family intended to hide the fact of your recovering health, thinking of ways to deal with them. But you just had to make such a commotion, we have spies from other families within, now they know for sure."

Lin Tian’s face immediately turned sour, when enjoying pleasure last night, he hadn’t anticipated additional trouble.

Lin Tian thought and said, "Whatever comes will come; besides, there’s no need for me to hide. They’re hungry wolves, but they still must contend with me, the tiger."

Yaqin shook her head, retorting, "They are not just any hungry wolves, comparatively, you’re the wolf, they’re the tiger. With your pill recipes, now all major families’ Golden Core masters are coming out of seclusion, can you alone contend with so many?"

Lin Tian chuckled bitterly, "After what you said, I’m feeling quite solitary now."

"It’s not entirely so bad, the Alliance’s chief elder and sixth elder are your disciples now, plus you have that connection with our Xu Family’s young lady, you wouldn’t consider it solitary."
