Chapter 13: Three Consecutive Hit Combo

When Lin Xiaocha heard Han Yu’s words, her lower lip trembled and her apricot eyes swiftly filled with tears.

Her grievance could be seen at first glance..

It was a tremendous sacrifice for a girl, as she willingly set aside her innocence to save him. However, rather than showing gratitude, he rebuked her and accused her of trying to seduce him. He insulted her pure intentions and devalued her selfless actions. 

Han Yu realized his reaction had been excessively harsh and now felt a bit guilty. He wanted to find a way to make it up to her and offer some form of compensation.

She bit her lip and shook her head, then took a deep breath to control the emotions welling up inside. Despite the mist in her eyes, she managed to compose herself and soon smiled warmly at Han Yu with brighter eyes, "Xianjun saved me first, so it’s only right that I save Xianjun in return. All other unfortunate events have long been forgotten."

Her bright smile made Han Yu freeze.

But he still said, "It's different."

"You saved me, I saved you, there’s no difference."

The more she said, the more embarrassed Han Yu felt. 

"It's different. You are a woman. Your chastity is important."

Lin Xiaocha's pupils shook when she heard this, and she stood up to cover his mouth in panic.

Han Yu: !

His brows perplexedly frowned, and as he was about to shake her hands off him, the scent of tea exuding from her soft little hands made him unable to move.

He remembered that in the burial ground, her naked body also exuded the same fragrance.

The memory of her skin pressing against him, smoother than the palms now pressed upon his lips, resurfaced vividly.

Presently, her small face was flushed, her deer-like eyes displayed shyness;  her upper teeth gently nibbled on her bright pink lips, and it seemed to swell as if anticipating a splash of water..

Her innocent face was deadly cute and charming.

His fingers trembled slightly, and he retracted the spiritual energy he was about to throw at her.

She was still clutching his mouth without knowing the danger she just avoided, she lowered her voice, "Xianjun, can you just forget about what happened? I also reflected on myself. I did not pay attention to proper social etiquettes..."

Then she looked around as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

"So... Is it okay if this stays only between the two of us?"

Han Yu's expression turned soft, and he held her thin wrist that could break with a simple squeeze, and removed her hands from his lips.

Who would he even talk to about this kind of thing?

Lin Xiaocha looked at his slender hand, and her face turned redder. She hurriedly took back her own hands, lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "I still have to marry someone later."

Han Yu's expression instantly condensed, becoming as icy as before.

Little did he know that he had fallen into Lin Xiaocha’s schemes as soon as she came back to his chambers.

The first step was to make him feel guilty.

After Han Yu apologized, she first expressed her grievances, followed by understanding. This  made him feel remorseful for his past actions.

However, guilt was an uncomfortable feeling, so people usually seek to quickly alleviate it by compensating the victim. Unfortunately, Han Yu would likely leave after making amends, and Lin Xiaocha was not ready to part with him yet. Therefore, before his guilt for Lin Xiaocha subsided, she thanked him and emphasized that he had saved her first instead of criticizing him further.

This most likely deepened his guilt and made it harder to easily get rid of her, increasing his goodwill towards her.

But again, no one likes feeling guilty.  Also, a ‘Green tea’ is an existence that provides high emotional value and makes the other person feel comfortable. She can not be a resentful woman who wants to make people feel grateful and guilty towards her all the time.

So she didn’t plan to over guilt-trip him but only did it enough to switch to the next move, physical contact.

This was an old green tea trick. By engaging in physical contact, she could skillfully arouse any man's desires without giving the impression of deliberate intent. It was crucial for her actions to seem genuine and avoid portraying her as immoral and frivolous.

An innocent demeanor was a very important aspect of the plan, so while her palms were against  the male protagonist's mouth, she showed genuine fear of what happened being overheard and took the initiative to withdraw her hands afterward.

The third move was an emotional push and pull.

She made him feel her interest in him and a sense of intimacy between them (pull), only to later induce disappointment(push) by saying she’d have to marry someone else later on.

'This is something only the two of us know, okay?' she told him. Here, the male protagonist was lured into a false sense of intimacy through the idea of sharing the secret of sleeping naked together. It fostered the illusion that they have a special relationship..

But when Han Yu's expression turned soft and he let his guard down, she added, 'I still have to marry someone later' emphasizing that it wouldn’t be him, ultimately pouring cold water on his heart.

The intentional emotional ups and downs keep the other party in a heightened sense of anticipation and excitement, intensifying the overall experience.

Obviously, it was her own initiative to seduce him, but the other party's brain would still believe everything happened naturally.

And of course, for the indifferent and stubborn male protagonist, one or two combos are not enough to break his psychological defenses.

But at least it will greatly increase his favorability level.

After all, she hadn't missed a single move from her plan and perfectly executed them.

When she was about to confirm her progress with the system, there was a neat sound of footsteps outside the door.

Han Yu's bad complexion worsened when he heard it too. With a wave of his sleeve, he opened the windows.

There, he saw a group of black-armored guards coming with spears.

At the end of this line of people was a man dressed in a purple robe with a high crown on his head. The man was seated in a long chair carried by six people while a giant black panther walked besides the entourage.

Not long ago, Feng Ziying's eunuch came to give him a report. It was said that Lin Xiaocha gave his gifts to General Zuo and asked him to donate it to the refugees.

Feng Ziying was furious after hearing this.

She dared to take his rewards to those untouchables!

In a fit of rage, he first called General Zuo and was about to take a breather before dragging him out and beheading him.

It was until General Zuo informed Feng Ziying that the refugees were grateful to the City Lord after learning about the donation, and they all knelt outside and bowed to thank him. Technically, those were indeed from the City Lord.

Feng Ziying’s anger dissipated completely, remembering that his wise hero image had just been established. Thus, not only did he not pursue this matter, he also allowed General Zuo to personally finish the distribution suggested by Lin Xiaocha.

Recalling the figure of that petite girl, it seems she is the only one who can truly please him.

The eunuch knew Feng Ziying from the inside out, so he obviously knew that the City Lord hadn't given up on Lin Xiaocha, and at the same time, he hadn’t forgiven ‘Shang Yuan’ for stealing her from him last night.

Hence, he said to the City Lord: The people in the city like this Xiaocha girl very much. It would do good to let her stay with the City Lord. Such is the will of the people.

These words successfully swayed Feng Ziying. He agreed with them, but the other party was a superb swordsmanship master and also the proud disciple of the head of Tianyu Mountain. Feng Ziying was reasonable to be afraid.

Until the eunuch leaned in his ear again and said a few more words.

......

......

Lin Xiaocha saw a group of people coming in a violent manner. She hid behind Han Yu, and said timidly, "Xianjun, I am scared."

Her voice trembled, and her tension was very audible.

Han Yu’s expression stayed the same and he slowly said, "I'm here. It's okay."

These four words sounded indifferent, but there was a calming effect to them.

The guest room that Feng Ziying prepared for Han Yu was quite grand.

The black-armored guards comfortably rushed in and stood neatly in two rows by the door.

The eunuch assisted Feng Ziying in stepping down from his chair.

Then, Feng Ziying gave a fake smile and said politely to Han Yu, "I heard that the fellow immortal was going to leave. I specifically came to send you off."

Han Yu replied with an annoyed voice, "Thank you."

From the beginning to the end, he never got up to greet Feng Ziying, nor did he offer him a seat.

Feng Ziying suppressed the irritation in his heart. His killing intent increased exponentially, but he calmly asked, "I don't know if the fellow immortal needs me to prepare a horse?"

He sounded polite, but he was in fact testing Han Yu. People in Tianyu Mountain naturally have their own magical weapons to travel from one place to another. Why would they need horses, unless...

Unless his injuries were so severe that he couldn't use his magical weapon to fly.

Han Yu didn't refuse but said the two words, "Thank you."

The heavy pressure in Feng Ziying's heart suddenly lifted.

He had learned from the doctor who treated Han Yu that his injuries almost took his life. In this case, his spiritual power must have decreased greatly. 

He felt that as long as he could keep it quiet, and inside the city’s walls, he could bury the news of Han Yu’s death after he was dealt with.

Even if Tianyu Mountain came to investigate his murder, his aunt would definitely protect him.

Feng Ziying continued with a light heart, "Then Ziying will prepare a good horse for the fellow immortal."

"Please prepare two horses, City Lord."

"If I may ask, Xianjun. You are alone, why would you need two horses?"

Han Yu raised his eyes to look at him and said with a faint smile, "There will be one more person traveling with me."

Feng Ziying's long, narrow eyes were cold, "If I may be so bold to ask another question. Who else is going?"

Han Yu's eyes stared intently at Feng Ziying, as if daring him to oppose his next words, "Her."
