Chapter 196: Well Maintained, The Temptation of Immortal Herbs
He lowered his head, leaned close to Tang Yuehua's crystal-clear earlobe, and breathed out hot air as he whispered:
"Master Tang, you really take excellent care of yourself. This slender waist that fits perfectly in one hand feels incredibly smooth to the touch."
One must not be fooled by Lin Yuan's outward appearance as a refined young man.
Because of the unique soul master cultivation system of the Douluo Continent, high-level soul masters naturally develop physically at an early age.
Not to mention that he now possessed three soul rings, all of which were ten-thousand-year level.
Such an exceptional configuration of soul rings brought enormous enhancement to his physical body, thoroughly refining his meridians and bones while accelerating his physical growth.
Therefore, his current physique, muscle definition, and the strength in his arms had already fully matured.
At this moment, his physical condition and sense of pressure were that of a man brimming with masculine vigor.
Feeling the sudden, powerful, and scorching large hand around her waist, Tang Yuehua's fair face instantly flushed bright red.
That captivating blush spread all the way up to her slender, pale swan-like neck, making her appear extremely alluring.
Although before deciding to relocate Moon Pavilion, she had already mentally prepared herself countless times and steeled herself for humiliation.
When she was truly invaded by Lin Yuan's sudden intimate actions, she was still thrown into embarrassment, anger, and panic.
Lin Yuan's broad and warm palm did not remain obediently in place.
Instead, through the extremely smooth and soft silver palace dress fabric, it brazenly slid up and down along Tang Yuehua's soft, astonishingly elastic waist and hip curves.
Each slow kneading and caress seemed to carry a tingling current, striking directly at Tang Yuehua's tense and sensitive nerves.
This kind of invasive, possessive touch caused Tang Yuehua's breathing to instantly become extremely rapid.
Her eyes, which were usually calm and elegant, were now filled with misty humiliation and anger.
She bit down hard on her alluring red lips, wanting to scold him loudly, but under the oppressive aura of Lin Yuan's powerful masculinity, she felt utterly helpless.
This humiliating handling left her body weak and limp, as an unprecedented, strange sensation swept through her entire being.
It was unbearably shameful!
Just as Tang Yuehua, overwhelmed with shame and anger, could no longer endure this extremely ambiguous teasing and raised her jade-like hand to push Lin Yuan away—
Lin Yuan seemed to have anticipated it. His other free hand flipped slightly.
Along with a burst of radiant yet gentle light, a strange immortal herb emitting an extremely rich and intoxicating fragrance suddenly appeared in his palm.
That soul-penetrating aroma, along with the hazy glow flowing across the immortal herb, instantly captured all of Tang Yuehua's attention.
Her hand, which had been about to push Lin Yuan away, froze midair.
This… was the immortal herb capable of defying fate?!
Under the impact of the herb's aura, Tang Yuehua's mind went blank for a moment.
Overwhelmed by extreme desire and shock, she subconsciously forgot about Lin Yuan's other hand.
She forgot that his hand was still tightly pressed against her sensitive waist.
She even forgot to resist or push him away, standing there blankly.
Allowing Lin Yuan's burning hand to continue sliding and caressing freely along her graceful, charming waist.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes were fixed on the glowing immortal herb, filled with longing, her breathing rapid.
However, this ambiguous and tempting situation did not last long.
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Yuan withdrew the immortal herb back into his storage soul tool.
For Lin Yuan to simply hand over such a priceless treasure like an immortal herb to Tang Yuehua right now was obviously unrealistic.
After all, up to this point, he had yet to gain any substantial benefit from Tang Yuehua.
Or rather, Tang Yuehua was not yet his.
Unlike Xiao Wu and the others, who already had an emotional foundation, this was completely different.
Now that the two were so close, and he had boldly caressed Tang Yuehua's slender, soft waist, fully enjoying that astonishing elasticity—
In Lin Yuan's view, this was merely collecting a bit of interest in advance.
The rewards granted by the system were definitely not meant to be given away for nothing. If one wanted to obtain them, one had to pay a price!
As the immortal herb was put away, Tang Yuehua, who had been in a state of shock, suddenly shuddered and finally snapped back to her senses from her intense longing and daze.
When she realized that Lin Yuan's warm hand had just been brazenly lingering on her sensitive waist the entire time—
Her pretty face instantly turned crimson. Like she had been electrocuted, she quickly stepped back, creating distance between them.
"Just now… what exactly was that miraculous thing?!"
Tang Yuehua looked at Lin Yuan's now-empty palm, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Yuan stood in place, clapping his hands lightly, his expression calm.
"Pavilion Master Tang has good eyesight. That was an extremely rare immortal herb."
"It can not only allow your mutated martial soul to completely break through its innate limitations—"
"It can also greatly enhance your innate cultivation talent, cultivation speed, and soul power rank."
Hearing such unbelievable effects, Tang Yuehua's heart began to pound violently.
Of course, she was no fool so easily deceived. She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in her heart.
"Since this immortal herb is so precious, then what… would it take for you to give it to me?"
Biting her red lips, she looked at him cautiously. "To obtain it, there must be extremely harsh conditions, right?"
Lin Yuan chuckled upon hearing this.
"Of course. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want it, naturally, there are conditions."
He deliberately stepped forward, his aggressive gaze roaming freely over Tang Yuehua's full and mature curves.
"My condition is simple. From now on, both your body and mind must completely stand on my side, and…"
Lin Yuan deliberately left his sentence unfinished, not stating it explicitly.
However, paired with his scorching gaze that sized her up as if wanting to devour her whole—
How could Tang Yuehua not understand the shameful implication behind that look?
Her face instantly flushed so red it seemed about to drip blood, and even her snow-white neck was tinged with an alluring pink.
