Chapter 197: Tang Yuehua's First Kiss Taken
Although before coming here, she had already prepared herself for the worst in her heart.
But when everything was truly laid bare before her, she still instinctively wanted to struggle just a little.
"But… but I'm so much older than you!"
Tang Yuehua's voice trembled uncontrollably. There was both tension toward the unknown and deep embarrassment.
"Look at yourself; you're already surrounded by so many young and beautiful girls."
"Why do you have to insist on choosing me, a withered and ruined flower?"
Tang Yuehua tried to use her age to dispel Lin Yuan's thoughts, saying bitterly, "At my age, in just a few years, I'll completely grow old and lose my looks, turning into an ugly old woman."
"And if you do something this absurd, aren't you afraid that those girls will find out about the relationship between us?"
Looking at Tang Yuehua's ashamed and indignant yet helpless appearance, only able to use her age as an argument in such a fragile manner, a strong desire to conquer rose in Lin Yuan's heart. He chuckled, appearing completely unconcerned.
"Afraid? Of course not. I, Lin Yuan, have always acted openly and aboveboard!"
"As long as a girl is beautiful, whether she's young like them or fully mature like you, as long as she looks good, I like her!"
"And as long as you obediently become my woman, I will naturally devote all my resources to helping my women improve their strength as much as possible."
Looking into Tang Yuehua's eyes filled with astonishment, Lin Yuan began painting an enormous promise.
"As for your worries about aging? That's completely unnecessary."
"As long as your cultivation, with my help, can reach above rank ninety and enter the realm of a Titled Douluo!"
"Your life level and lifespan will undergo a qualitative leap!"
"When that time comes, the age gap between us won't be a problem, and you won't need to worry about growing old and losing your beauty!"
Strictly speaking, this wasn't really an empty promise.
After all, he had a system bound to him, and he also knew that Tang Yuehua possessed a diary copy as well!
With a system, raising such a vase to the level of a Titled Douluo would be effortless!
So the promise he was making now was actually somewhat conservative.
If he became a god in the future, he could even take Tang Yuehua to the God Realm and let her remain forever young!
It was just that saying such things now would sound too unrealistic.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua, hearing Lin Yuan make such a firm promise, felt her heart tremble violently.
"Titled Douluo!" This was a realm she had never even dared to dream of, something utterly unreachable!
One had to know that throughout the entire history of the Douluo Continent, there had never been a single auxiliary system soul master who had reached the realm of a Titled Douluo.
Seeing Tang Yuehua's defenses wavering violently, Lin Yuan knew the timing was right and continued coldly, "Besides, Pavilion Master Tang, think carefully. Do you even have a choice now? You've long lost the right to refuse!"
"You've already publicly announced in Heaven Dou City that you've completely severed ties with the Clear Sky Sect!"
"The reason you hurriedly moved Moon Pavilion to the Royal Academy—"
"Wasn't it to avoid your clansmen, even your two brothers' questioning?"
"Other than me, who else in this world can protect you?"
Lin Yuan stepped forward, staring at her with blazing eyes. "I can guarantee it to you!"
"As long as you completely submit and become mine, your personal safety will no longer be an issue."
"And in the distant future, I even have other methods that can allow an auxiliary system soul master like you to gain offensive and self-defense abilities!"
Lin Yuan wasn't someone who liked to force others. Even now, he was using both kindness and pressure on Tang Yuehua.
Force might quench thirst, but he preferred to see her defenses collapse and have her willingly yield.
Hearing the final sentence, Tang Yuehua felt as if struck by lightning.
"Let an auxiliary system soul master have offensive abilities? Y-you… what exactly do you mean?!"
This completely defied common sense!
However, when faced with her questioning, Lin Yuan said nothing more.
A wicked smile curved at his lips. He suddenly lowered his head and, as fast as lightning, directly planted a quick kiss on Tang Yuehua's full, rosy, alluring lips!
With a soft "smack," the sound seemed especially sharp in the quiet, elegant room.
Before Tang Yuehua could recover from this sudden forced kiss, Lin Yuan had already activated his teleportation skill again.
A flash of silver light, and he moved a short distance away from her.
Immediately afterward, without any hesitation, Lin Yuan willed it and released his One-Word Battle Armor!
God-Killing Armor!
"Clang!"
Accompanied by a crisp metallic collision, a dazzling metallic sheen instantly covered Lin Yuan's entire body.
The moment the battle armor attached, it released a suffocatingly powerful, oppressive aura.
Its appearance even diverted Tang Yuehua's attention away from the intense shame and strange feelings caused by having her lips forcibly kissed.
Tang Yuehua widened her beautiful eyes, staring at the battle armor radiating a cold killing intent on Lin Yuan's body.
She naturally knew that Lin Yuan possessed something called "One-Word Battle Armor."
That girl named Xiao Wu also seemed to have a set.
According to what Lin Yuan had written in his diary before, a One-Word Battle Armor could allow a five-ring Soul King to unleash the combat power of a seven-ring Soul Saint.
Even though Lin Yuan's cultivation hadn't yet reached Soul King and he couldn't fully unleash its power, the might he displayed now was already terrifying.
Only then did Tang Yuehua truly understand how monstrous the boost this battle armor gave to a soul master's combat strength was.
No wonder Lin Yuan said he could allow auxiliary system soul masters to have offensive power!
Could it be that she might also have a chance to obtain such armor in the future?
However, after the brief extreme shock, Tang Yuehua finally snapped back to her senses.
She immediately recalled the scene in which Lin Yuan had forcibly stolen her first kiss!
Tang Yuehua instantly became overwhelmed with shame and anger. Even the hand she pointed at Lin Yuan trembled as she said, "Y-you shameless scoundrel! How could you kiss me like that without my consent?!"
Her eyes had turned red. This was her precious first kiss, treasured for decades!
And just like that, it had been taken away by this domineering youth before her!
