Facing Tang Yuehua's angry accusations, Lin Yuan blinked his eyes with an air of innocent naivety, putting on a completely blameless expression as he said, "Oh, what's the big deal? It was just a little kiss, wasn't it?"
Lin Yuan acted like a rogue with righteous conviction. "Anyway, you're going to be mine sooner or later, so what's wrong with a little kiss in advance?"
He deliberately dragged out his tone, teasing her with a face full of suspicion, "Besides, you're at such an age; this couldn't possibly still be your first kiss, right? Who would believe that?"
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Tang Yuehua suddenly trembled all over with rage, her face full of hesitation and stuttering.
Her face turned bright red, and with extreme shame but absolute determination, she retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! This... this IS my first kiss! Is there a problem with that?!"
The more Tang Yuehua spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. "I have kept myself pure all these years, remained unmarried my whole life, and I've never even had a boyfriend!"
"Is it really so strange that I've kept my first kiss?!"
Looking at Tang Yuehua's shamed and indignant appearance, as if she were about to cry from frustration, Lin Yuan merely shrugged his shoulders casually.
He spread his hands and sighed with extreme shamelessness, saying, "Well, then that settles it. Since this was your first kiss, it just so happens to be my first kiss too!"
Lin Yuan argued shamelessly with forced logic, "If we really have to calculate it so carefully..."
"Then you're completely robbing the cradle here. I'm the one who's truly suffered a great loss, okay?!"
Hearing Lin Yuan's outrageous bandit logic...
Tang Yuehua instantly felt a surge of Qi get stuck firmly in her chest.
This stifled breath made her face turn red and her ears burn; she could almost not catch her breath!
She had lived for more than half a lifetime, and today was the first time she had witnessed such a brazenly shameless man in this world!
What did he mean, he was the one who suffered a great loss?!
In a situation like being forcibly kissed and taken advantage of, no matter how you calculated it, shouldn't the girl be the one suffering the loss and feeling aggrieved?!
In fact, the Immortal Herb Lin Yuan had just displayed so generously, or that set of one-word battle armor emitting a terrifying pressure—these incredibly deep foundations combined were already enough to make Tang Yuehua fall for him.
Although deep down, she was well aware that her rapid surrender was somewhat driven by a utilitarian heart and a tendency toward power.
It wasn't entirely because of Lin Yuan's extraordinary personal charm.
It was because the conditions he offered were simply too tempting, too abundant—so abundant that she couldn't muster even a shred of courage to refuse.
But she couldn't really be blamed for being too realistic.
Imagine if they were of the same age; a youth like Lin Yuan, with such high talent, unfathomable strength, and such handsome looks...
Faced with such a nearly perfect and outstanding member of the opposite sex, any normal woman might have already fallen hopelessly in love with him long ago. There would be no need for these external items to coerce or entice her.
But from the beginning, the worldly age gap between her and Lin Yuan was very, very large—large enough to make one hesitate.
Bound by those rigid common-sense constraints, she hadn't even thought about that unspeakable romantic affection, not even for a moment.
In her eyes, Lin Yuan was supposed to be just a mysterious Junior.
But just now, under Lin Yuan's skillful use of both the carrot and the stick, as well as his generous bombardment of sugar-coated bullets...
Her heart finally and inevitably began to loosen.
Moreover, at this moment, she actually agreed very much with what Lin Yuan had said earlier.
Lin Yuan was very right on that point; it could even be said that he had struck her inner weakness.
If in the future, with Lin Yuan's help, her cultivation could truly Breakthrough all the way and eventually reach the Titled Douluo Realm...
Then as an extraordinary Titled Douluo, she could at least have a lifespan of two to three hundred years.
If calculated carefully like that, would the current insignificant age gap of a few decades between her and Lin Yuan even matter at that time?
It could be completely ignored.
As the last line of defense in her heart, known as morality and worldly convention, completely collapsed...
Tang Yuehua then gave a sigh of resignation and completely lowered her originally noble and haughty head.
Trailing her extremely magnificent silver palace gown that swept across the floor, she walked submissively to stand before Lin Yuan.
Therefore, this kind of close-up periodic maintenance and cleaning was indispensable.
Previously, Lin Yuan had relied on his own superb skills to maintain it.
But now, it relied on Tang Yuehua.
Lin Yuan leaned back comfortably against the soft back of the couch.
He looked down from above at the formerly high-and-mighty Tang Yuehua, watching her busy herself with extreme care and slight clumsiness.
Watching this elegant noblewoman help him clean bit by bit, a satisfied, wicked smile couldn't help but curl at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a comfortable chuckle, his tone carrying a bit of unexpected teasing, "I really didn't see it coming; I didn't expect you to have such maintenance methods."
