The small cabin, occupied by only two people, was filled with silence.
Qin Yu’s eyes widened at the girl’s sudden action, leaving him speechless for a moment.
But soon…
With a gulp.
Qin Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
In his ears, his rapidly accelerating heartbeat and slightly heavy breathing could be heard.
“Nilou, you can stand up now.”
Qin Yu reacted, quickly saying.
Was something not quite right?
Nilou was his precious little cotton-padded jacket!
“Teacher?”
Nilou turned to look at Qin Yu, whose expression was unnatural, and blinked her innocent eyes.
Teacher’s mood right now, so complex.
Unexpected, happy, surprised.
And also a hint of strange excitement…
But more than anything, it was concern for her.
“Nilou, why did you suddenly do that?”
Qin Yu couldn’t sit still and left his seat.
“I just wanted to make it easier for Teacher to grab me.”
Nilou stood up, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
As she spoke, she gestured towards the tabletop and then to her own fair thigh.
This height was most suitable for squatting down.
“…”
Qin Yu gazed into the girl’s innocent eyes, his breath catching.
A sense of inexplicable guilt surged in his heart.
Damn it, what strange things was he thinking just now.
He was a teacher!
With this thought, Qin Yu took a deep breath, calming himself.
“Teacher… shall we continue?”
Nilou secretly glanced at Qin Yu and whispered.
“…”
Qin Yu honestly nodded.
“This time, just sit on the chair with peace of mind.”
He asked Nilou to sit down, speaking softly.
Everything else was up to Teacher.
“Mhm, Teacher is so good.”
Nilou lowered her head slightly, sitting obediently.
She rested her hands on her fair thighs, her heart filled with anticipation.
“…”
Qin Yu stood behind Nilou, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over her.
He paused for a moment on the slightly sunken, fleshy part.
This chair was so white, so soft.
“Nilou, Teacher is going to grab you now.”
Qin Yu said softly, his fingertips brushing through the girl’s smooth hair.
Finally, he opened his hands and grasped her twin ponytails.
Simultaneously, a verdant light flared, bringing warmth.
Life energy had many uses.
It could not only nourish the body and replenish energy.
It could also catalyze abilities that Nilou could not fully control.
Actually, Qin Yu had always had doubts about this.
Why did the authority of the Dendro Archon… have an effect on Nilou?
Was Nilou’s soul friend related to the Dendro Archon?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu sighed in his heart.
The composition of the tea house’s staff was becoming increasingly complicated.
Qin Yu sent a message to his wife in the family group chat, asking about the situation.
He also contacted Ayaka.
A mysterious woman suspected to be the Tsaritsa…
It was best to let the great leader handle this situation herself.
With his wife, it would be foolproof.
Even if the Archon War were to break out, the Tsaritsa would have to reconsider her position in front of two Archons.
Yes, this was what it meant to cling to the power of Ayaka and his wife.
When it came to freeloading, Qin Yu would only embrace it wholeheartedly.
…
“Okay, Teacher, please begin.”
There was nervousness in Nilou’s voice.
After all, this was her and Teacher’s first time.
She wondered if she would be able to see the spirit of the Flower Goddess smoothly…
Thinking of this, the girl pursed her lips, her thoughts racing.
But soon, she relaxed amidst the warm sensation.
“Mhm…”
Nilou tilted her delicate chin upwards, emitting a sound like a kitten.
She unconsciously tensed her toes, her cheeks flushing.
This feeling… felt so good.
“If anything feels wrong, tell me immediately.”
Qin Yu glanced at the girl, who was closing her eyes and enjoying the sensation, and said softly.
Nilou was different from Columbia.
The latter, as the Third Harbinger, possessed immense power herself.
So, she could receive any amount of life energy.
But Nilou was just a delicate young girl.
If too much was given at once, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Just then—
“Teacher, please, please go slower…!”
Nilou tiptoed, her voice trembling slightly.
The warm life energy merged with the power of the Flower Goddess.
But at the same time, it also triggered unknown reactions.
At this moment, she felt her entire body heating up, as if she were about to melt.
Teacher… so powerful…
It felt like… she was about to become strange…
Finally, the girl, unable to hold on, her body went limp.
“Nilou!”
Qin Yu stopped the energy transfer and quickly supported her.
Her body temperature was so high.
“Teacher, Nilou… feels a bit unwell.”
Nilou leaned softly against Qin Yu, her voice tinged with disappointment.
She had wanted to become stronger quickly to help Teacher.
But she hadn't expected to be overwhelmed by such a small amount of life energy…
Just as the girl was lost in thought.
A cool sensation, like a gentle spring breeze, enveloped her.
The accumulated energies, still reacting, were also blown away.
Diffusing the reaction and dispelling the abnormal state.
“What is this?”
Nilou’s eyes widened slightly as she watched the scattered emerald light.
“It’s Anemo God Power.”
The Flower Goddess murmured, her voice filled with surprise.
Electro, Dendro, Anemo.
When did he master so many…!
“Don’t push yourself too hard next time, okay?”
Qin Yu looked at the somewhat dazed girl and said earnestly.
This was a gradual process.
There was still a long way to go to fully master her abilities.
“Teacher.”
Nilou blinked her eyes, her pretty face gradually turning red.
She realized she was still leaning against Qin Yu.
Solid, warm, reassuring.
Too close…!
The innocent girl, who had never experienced a man’s abs before, had her brain crash.
Clearly defined, and very elastic…
“Rest for a while.”
Qin Yu looked at her seriously, paying attention to any potential abnormalities.
He had to protect his precious little cotton-padded jacket.
“Teacher, help me over there.”
Nilou said in a low voice, no longer trying to force herself.
Absorbing life energy was, after all, not something that could be accomplished overnight.
But thankfully, she seemed to be able to see the Flower Goddess now…
“Over there?”
Qin Yu didn’t hear clearly and asked subconsciously.
“…”
Nilou bit her lip and stopped speaking.
It was over there.
“?”
Qin Yu followed Nilou’s gaze and breathed a sigh of relief.
So, he just had to help Nilou onto the bed.
Wait a minute…!
“Can you walk by yourself?”
Qin Yu coughed lightly, trying to calm himself down.
After being stimulated by the life energy, Nilou’s charm had become even stronger.
Of course, it was also possible that the twin ponytails were adding to the effect.
Calm down, calm down.
Don’t overthink.
Nilou was his well-behaved student!
“My legs are a bit weak.”
Nilou suddenly lifted her face, her voice taking on a special inflection.
She gazed at Qin Yu, her eyes as radiant as a sea of flowers.
Qin Yu didn’t think much of it, assuming Nilou was just too tired.
“Come, hold my hand.”
Qin Yu led Nilou to the bedside.
The girl lay on the bed, tilting her head slightly and staring at Qin Yu.
“What is it, Nilou?”
Qin Yu looked at her and smiled.
“I have a question I want to ask you.”
Nilou suddenly revealed a charming smile and grabbed Qin Yu’s hand.
“…What question.”
Qin Yu sensed that something was wrong.
Nilou’s soul friend?
The Flower Goddess watched Qin Yu, who had realized, and her lips curved slightly.
“Do you think…”
“Between the Flower Goddess and the Dendro Archon, who is more beautiful?”
