Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's eyes snapped open. Her gaze held a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, before she subconsciously looked down at the mirror-like spirit pool.
In the clear reflection, he realized that his face was not as red as Qin Luo had said, and he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
A surge of shame and indignation welled up in her heart like a raging tide, churning violently within her chest.
Just as she was so angry that her chest heaved violently and she was glaring at Qin Luo with wide eyes, suddenly, a warm touch covered her dantian without warning.
In that instant, Dan Bingli felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body stiffened abruptly, her mind went blank, and all her anger and shame were dispelled by the sudden warmth, replaced by a tingling sensation she had never experienced before.
This sensation spread from her dantian, sweeping over her entire body like a tidal wave, making her hold her breath. Her eyes widened as she stared at Qin Luo in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, yet she couldn't utter a single word.
When Qin Luo's hand touched Dan Bingli's dantian, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted. The softness and warmth transmitted through her clothes made his heart beat faster, and a strange feeling quietly grew in his heart.
"Miss Dan, let's continue without delay."
Qin Luo's voice was a little hoarse as he tried to keep his tone steady. He was afraid that if he didn't say something soon, he wouldn't be able to suppress his wild impulse.
He then pursed his lips, trying to calm himself down, but his gaze lingered uncontrollably on Dan Bingli's stunningly beautiful face for a moment.
Her flushed cheeks, her eyes that seemed both angry and shy, and her trembling eyelashes were like little hooks, tugging at his heart and soul.
Dan Bingli's face was already flushed with embarrassment. She glared at Qin Luo fiercely, but didn't know what to do. The warm touch made her body tremble slightly. She was both angry at Qin Luo's sudden flirtation and felt a strange panic spreading in her heart.
"This...this is all to stabilize the spiritual energy, don't get any wild ideas!"
She bit her lip, trying to make her tone sound stern, but the words that came out still lacked confidence.
Her voice was so soft it was like the gentle fluttering of a mosquito's wings, carrying a hint of coquettishness that she herself was unaware of, and her shyness was impossible to conceal.
Qin Luo coughed lightly and shifted his gaze slightly away:
"Miss Dan, rest assured, I will know my limits, however..."
He paused for a moment, his tone already carrying a hint of teasing:
"But Miss Dan's face is so red right now, it's breathtaking."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's blush deepened, her face glowing as if it were about to bleed. Filled with both shame and anger, she glared fiercely at Qin Luo:
"You...you scoundrel! You lecher! If it weren't for this spiritual energy, I...I would never have bothered with you like this."
"Eek!"
Just as she was trying to make excuses, Qin Luo's palm, which was covering her dantian, once again surged with purple spiritual energy. This sudden action caused Dan Bingli's delicate body to tremble violently. The warm feeling was even stronger than before, like a surging heat wave, impacting her body wave after wave.
The purple spiritual energy swirled and gathered in her dantian, triggering a strange tingling sensation that quickly spread from her dantian to her limbs and bones.
Dan Bingli felt as if all her strength had been drained away, her legs went weak, and she involuntarily let out a soft moan.
The voice was soft and melodious, echoing in the silent space, making her so ashamed she wanted to disappear. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes; her previous fierce demeanor had vanished, replaced by a bewildered shyness.
As her legs went weak, Dan Bingli's body involuntarily leaned forward.
Seeing this, Qin Luo quickly reached out his other hand and firmly supported her slender waist. The soft touch of her waist made Qin Luo's heart tremble, and he unconsciously tightened his grip.
With that embrace, their bodies pressed tightly together. Dan Bingli could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Qin Luo's firm chest, a warmth that seemed to burn her through their clothes.
Her heart was pounding in her ears, its rhythm distinct.
Dan Bingli's hair slipped from her shoulders, a few strands falling around her cheeks, making her face appear even more radiant. Her eyes were misty with tears; she wanted to rebuke Qin Luo, but the sound of his pounding heart made her so flustered that she couldn't utter a single word.
"You...you let me go!"
Her voice trembled with a hint of a sob, but her words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
Dan Bingli felt utterly ashamed. The unique masculine aura surrounded her tightly, like an invisible net, making her already chaotic thoughts even more incomprehensible.
Her words, tinged with sobs, were so cryptic that even she couldn't tell if they were the result of a woman's instinctive reserve or the incoherent ramblings of extreme shame and anger.
She could only bury her head in Qin Luo's arms in a panic, her burning cheeks pressed tightly against his chest.
Her eyelashes, which were tightly closed, trembled, revealing her shyness and unease. Her hands, which had originally intended to push Qin Luo away, only rested weakly on his shoulders, her fingers slightly curled, betraying her inner struggle.
Qin Luo looked at Dan Bingli in his arms, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster. If he wanted to do something inappropriate at this moment, given Dan Bingli's current confused state, there was probably a one-third chance that she wouldn't refuse. Her chaotic appearance was like that of an oyster that had lost its protective shell, completely defenseless.
The other third might refuse, but her inherent reserve and pride might break through the fog of shame at the last moment, prompting her to fight back.
The last third is when she calms down and vents her anger to the extreme. It will be a raging storm of rage that may make all his previous efforts go to waste and even plunge their relationship into an abyss of no return.
Stop thinking, Qin Luo took a deep breath and tried to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
"Miss Dan."
The gentle voice echoed in the silent spiritual pool, creating invisible ripples in the air.
After hearing this voice, it took a while for Dan Bingli to muster up her courage and raise her head. What came into view was Qin Luo, who was right in front of her.
His handsome face seemed to radiate light in the spirit pool, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, the depth of his gaze adding a touch of mystery to him.
Qin Luo's handsome face stunned the chaotic Dan Bingli for a moment, causing her heart to skip a beat. For a moment, she forgot her situation and her earlier shame and panic.
"Miss Dan, you should absorb spiritual energy to stabilize your Qi Sea, otherwise my meager spiritual energy won't be enough for you to squander."
