Chapter 68: The Small Stone Pavilion, Qing Tan's Sweet Kiss
Wrapped in Lin Yan's embrace, feeling the strength of his arms, and looking at his handsome face up close, Qing Tan's cheeks grew warmer and warmer.
She was already prone to shyness, so this ambiguous posture made it even more difficult for her to bear.
After a few seconds, Qing Tan's ears turned completely red, and her eyes became somewhat blurry as she continued to gaze at Lin Yan. She hesitated and said to him shyly, "Brother Lin Yan, please don't..."
However, Lin Yan didn't heed her words. Instead, he moved his face closer to hers and teased, "But your body seems to disagree."
Lightly poking Qing Tan with his finger, she couldn't bear the stimulation and let out a soft cry. Opening her watery eyes, she looked pitiful, as if on the verge of tears:
"Um..."
"Too embarrassing."
Seeing her reaction, Lin Yan stopped teasing her.
Qing Tan heaved a sigh of relief, feeling hot and sweaty.
The two continued walking forward. Suddenly, they passed by a small pavilion. Qing Tan felt a bit tired, especially after the intimate contact with Lin Yan just now, which made her legs feel weak. So she quietly asked Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, can we rest over there?"
Naturally, Lin Yan agreed with a smile. However, as soon as they sat down on the stone chairs in the pavilion, Lin Yan realized that Qing Tan had sat next to him, and her little bottom was quietly moving closer to him.
Lin Yan felt somewhat helpless about this.
Qing Tan, this girl, was both naive and playful.
If he didn't tease her, she would take the initiative. But as soon as he made a move, she would back down immediately. It was quite amusing.
So Lin Yan didn't bother with her this time, but unexpectedly, she quietly held his hand from behind.
"Speaking of which, Brother Lin Yan, our first intimate contact was also in a pavilion."
"It was in the pavilion at the Lin Family's place. I remember that day I went to collect herbs, but it started raining, and I ran into you in the pavilion."
While playing with Lin Yan's hand, Qing Tan casually recounted.
Instead of exposing her, Lin Yan replied with a smile, "Yes, I remember someone ended up drenched like a drowned rat, with a sudden onset of chills. Fortunately, I was there to help you out of that predicament."
Qing Tan's gaze softened at his words, feeling a sense of gratitude.
Yes, it was fortunate to have Brother Lin Yan around.
But as soon as she heard Lin Yan's next words, her cheeks flushed again.
"But I didn't come out unscathed either. I got to try a leg pillow, my legs went weak, and you smelled really nice."
Seeing her reaction, Lin Yan burst into laughter. Teasing Qing Tan like this was quite entertaining for him.
However, Qing Tan was not having it. With determination, she leaned in and covered Lin Yan's mouth with hers, silencing his laughter instantly.
Seeing Lin Yan's stunned expression, Qing Tan couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and amusement.
But soon, Lin Yan's playful antics made her surrender, and after teasing her, Qing Tan felt a bit weak all over. She looked at Lin Yan with intoxicated eyes, but suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Qing Tan quickly pushed Lin Yan away and blushed as she looked in the direction of the sound.
"Uh, it's Brother Lin Yan and Qing Tan."
"What are you two doing here?"
Two familiar figures passing by recognized Lin Yan and Qing Tan. They looked embarrassed. It turned out to be Lin Shan and Lin Hong.
"Why so many questions?!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
Compared to Lin Shan, Lin Hong was more tactful.
Seeing Qing Tan's flushed face, he knew what the two of them were up to. He didn't want to be a third wheel, so he gave Lin Shan a fierce glare before dragging him away.
Lin Yan naturally laughed heartily at this.
Qing Tan felt embarrassed.
After all, teenage girls are sensitive. After summoning up the courage to get close to Lin Yan, they were caught red-handed. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
"Hurry, let's go!"
Nervously, Qing Tan urged Lin Yan, afraid of being seen by others again.
Lin Yan smiled and asked Qing Tan, "Not coming?"
Qing Tan's cheeks flushed again, and she licked her lips, feeling reluctant. But recalling the embarrassment just now, she felt a bit scared. "Not coming, not coming."
The two quickly headed home.
However, the atmosphere between them became somewhat awkward along the way.
After all, it could be considered their first kiss, so Qing Tan was still blushing and reminiscing.
Upon returning to the doorstep, they coincidentally met Liu Yan.
Seeing Qing Tan's flushed face, Liu Yan was momentarily stunned, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
She smiled at the two of them and said, "You two, be safe."
Lin Yan's gaze became somewhat strange.
Qing Tan understood instantly and became anxious. "Mom! What are you thinking! Brother Lin Yan and I didn't...!"
Liu Yan smirked and said, "I didn't say anything. I just reminded you to be safe."
Qing Tan blushed and fled in embarrassment.
Not long after, Lin Xiao and Lin Dong had finished preparing dinner.
Lin Xiao's cooking skills were quite good, and the atmosphere at dinner was pleasant, giving Lin Yan, who had crossed over to another world, a sense of home.
So Lin Yan enjoyed the meal very much.
However, compared to Lin Yan's side, Lei Bao, of the Lei Family, was not at all comfortable.
After learning of Xie Qian's death, Lei Bao's face completely darkened.
"Lin Zhentian, how ruthless!"
"He actually exterminated them all."
"It seems he won't spare our Lei Family either!"
Lei Bao wasn't present at the scene, and Lin Yan didn't leave any survivors, so he didn't know the specific details. He only knew that Xie Qian and several other Tianyuan Realm martial artists were all dead, so naturally, he blamed Lin Zhentian for everything.
He quickly shouted loudly, and soon after, Lei Pi, his right-hand man, rushed over.
"Father, what are your orders?"
Lei Bao, with a dark expression, said to Lei Pi, "Three things."
"The first thing, take some gifts and visit Master Gu."
"Now that the Black Dragon Lair is destroyed and the Xie Family is wiped out, we're at a disadvantage against the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall."
"So we need to build a good relationship with Master Gu. If the Lin Family moves against us, we can ask Master Gu for help."
Lei Pi nodded in agreement.
"The second thing, starting today, I will strive to break through to the Yuan Dan Realm."
"I've been stuck in the late stage of the Tianyuan Realm for many years, but recently, there have been signs of breakthrough."
"Both Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng are only in the late stage of the Tianyuan Realm. If I can break through to the Yuan Dan Realm, killing them will be as easy as killing chickens."
Lei Bao paused for a moment before continuing.
"The third thing, starting today, send people to set up more ambushes outside."
"If you encounter Lin Xiao, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Dong, Lin Yan, and other members of the Lin Family alone..."
"Don't hesitate, just kill them on the spot!"
"Now that our two families have basically torn our faces apart, if we have the chance to reduce their top combat power, it will be beneficial to us in the future."
"Especially Lin Yan."
"That kid is very dangerous. If there's a chance, before he grows up, at all costs, he must be eliminated."
Lei Bao's eyes were full of killing intent as he spoke.
