291: Chapter 291 Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Sword!

The afternoon sunlight spilled lazily through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the base.

It cast a warm golden glow over the metallic-textured room.

Lin Yuan lay on a top-tier leather sofa he had "acquired for zero dollars" from a five-star hotel.

In his hand, he swirled a glass of cola with ice cubes.

The crisp clinking of ice against the glass sounded exceptionally pleasant amidst the silence of the Apocalypse.

“Call them in,” Lin Yuan commanded to the air.

A moment later, there was a soft knock on the door.

“Enter.”

The door opened, and two stunning figures walked in.

The woman on the left was tall, wearing a tight black combat suit.

It outlined her perfect curves to the fullest extent.

She had a cold temperament, appearing like a ghost walking in the shadows.

This was Xia Bingli, a world-class assassin known as "Ice," a cold and elegant mature beauty who possessed the Shadow Assassin class along with assassin-type Superpowers like Agility Enhancement, Perception Sharpening, and Invisibility.

The girl on the right was wearing a cute JK uniform.

She was Xia Bingning.

“Master~ Were you looking for us?”

As soon as Xia Bingning entered, she ran over cheerfully, her dragon tail wagging behind her like a puppy's.

She nearly knocked over a nearby vase with it.

Xia Bingli appeared silently three meters away from Lin Yuan's side.

She didn't even make a sound with her footsteps.

This was a professional habit of an assassin—always maintaining the optimal attack distance—while the passive effect of her Invisibility made her presence extremely faint even when standing right there.

Her presence was extremely low.

“How has your cultivation been lately?”

Lin Yuan set down his glass and looked at the two sisters, who had vastly different styles, with interest.

Xia Bingli bowed slightly, her voice cold:

“Reporting to Master, my Perception Sharpening has reached the peak of A-rank. Within a five-hundred-meter radius, not a single rustle of grass can escape my senses. Additionally, combined with my killing techniques and Agility Enhancement, I can now deliver three fatal strikes in the blink of an eye.”

As she spoke, a cold light flashed in her hand.

A dagger spun rapidly at her fingertips, so fast it was merely an afterimage.

“Not bad.”

Lin Yuan nodded and looked at the younger sister. “And you?”

Xia Bingning chuckled and raised her hands.

Instantly, her hands were covered in a layer of crystalline dragon scales.

Her left hand burned with intense fire, while her right hand condensed chilling ice.

“I'm very strong too! I can do partial Dragonification now! And this 'Ice-Fire Twin' is super fun—it can be used to roast sweet potatoes or make smoothies!”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Using an S-rank Ability to roast sweet potatoes—only this girl could come up with that.

“Alright, I called you here to relax a bit.”

Lin Yuan leaned back and pointed to his shoulders.

“I've been a bit tired from killing zombies lately. Give me a massage.”

Xia Bingning's eyes lit up, and she immediately retracted the flames and ice from her hands.

She ran over eagerly. “Okay, okay! Brother Lin Yuan, I just learned a 'Dragon Claw' massage move!”

Xia Bingli, however, hesitated.

She was an expert at killing people.

But a massage?

“What? Unwilling?”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow at the black-clad beauty who was still hesitating.

“No... it's not that.”

Xia Bingli bit her lower lip, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her cold face.

“I only know... killing techniques.”

“Aren't the principles of killing techniques and massage techniques the same?”

Lin Yuan looked at her with a half-smile.

“Since you're familiar with human anatomy and know where it hurts the most and where it's most fatal, you should naturally know where it feels the best and where it's most relaxing.”

Xia Bingli was stunned, and then a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

That... seemed to make sense?

As a top assassin, her understanding of human anatomy even surpassed that of top surgeons.

The direction of every muscle, the distribution of every nerve.

The function of every pressure point—she knew them all by heart.

“I understand.”

Xia Bingli took a deep breath, her gaze becoming focused.

It was as if Lin Yuan before her wasn't a master in need of a massage, but a target requiring "precision dissection."

She walked behind Lin Yuan and activated Perception Sharpening.

In her sensory field, the state of every muscle and the flow of every bit of Qi and blood in Lin Yuan's back were clearly visible.

“Here, the trapezius muscle is tense...”

“Here, there's congestion at the Fengchi Point...”

Xia Bingli extended her slender fingers, her fingertips landing precisely on Lin Yuan's pressure points.

“Agility Enhancement, micro-control.”

She chanted mentally, and her fingers began to apply pressure.

Unlike an ordinary person's massage, Xia Bingli's technique was precise to the extreme.

Every press hit the sore spots perfectly, with the force controlled just right—any more would be painful, any less would be ticklish.

“Hiss...”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

This wasn't just a massage; it was practically a "precision human body repair project"!

“How does it feel?”

Xia Bingli's voice carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

“Incredible.”

Lin Yuan was not stingy with his praise.

“Most people really couldn't enjoy this. I'll leave this job to you from now on.”

Upon receiving the praise, the corners of Xia Bingli's mouth curled up slightly.

The sense of shame from an "assassin becoming a technician" vanished instantly, replaced by an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

So, killing techniques could also save people?

Seeing her sister get praised, Xia Bingning wasn't about to be left out.

“Hmph, I have a trump card too!”

She gave a mischievous grin, and her hands transformed again.

Those small hands were instantly covered in a layer of fine dragon scales; her left hand became burning hot, while her right hand became ice cold.

“The real 'Ice and Fire' experience is here!”

Her small hands roamed over Lin Yuan's legs.

The texture of the dragon scales had a strange, abrasive feel, combined with the extreme temperature difference between the heat on the left and the cold on the right.

This stimulation went straight to his head.

“Master, this is the Dragon Scale Hot Compress and Dragon Scale Cold Compress I developed!”

Xia Bingning said proudly, “And the dragon scales can even exfoliate dead skin!”

Lin Yuan took a sharp breath.

This wasn't a massage; it was a test of his self-control!

“You two little vixens...”

Spurred on by her sister, Xia Bingli's competitive spirit was also ignited.

She increased her hand speed again, fully activating her Agility Enhancement. Her hands moved so fast they became afterimages, playing a "Muscle Relaxation Symphony" on Lin Yuan's back.

“Sister, you're cheating! You're using your Superpower to speed up!” Xia Bingning shouted.

“Didn't you use Dragonification too?” Xia Bingli countered calmly.

The two sisters vied to outdo each other, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became suggestive.

Lin Yuan looked at the two stunning beauties before him.

One was as cold as a blade in the night, yet now she had softened for him.

Using the most lethal techniques to perform the gentlest actions;

The other was as passionate as the rising sun, releasing her love without reservation, using her wildest form to please him.

“It's comfortable, but...”

Lin Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Bingli's wrist.

At the same time, he used his legs to pin down the mischievous Xia Bingning.

“You've stirred up a fire; shouldn't you be responsible for putting it out?”

Lin Yuan's voice was deep and husky, carrying a hint of danger.

Xia Bingli's body stiffened, and her cheeks instantly turned crimson.

Even the tips of her ears were burning.

She had been so focused on the "dissection-style massage" that she hadn't realized how ambiguous the atmosphere had become.

Xia Bingning, on the other hand, blinked, her face full of anticipation. “Okay, okay! I want to try...”

Lin Yuan: “...”

This girl's train of thought was truly amusing.

“Then, as you wish.”

Lin Yuan exerted force with his arm, pulling Xia Bingli directly into his embrace.

...

No one knew how much time had passed.

Peace finally returned to the bedroom.

Xia Bingning was limp, still mumbling:

“No... no more...”

Xia Bingli lay on her side.

Her originally cold temperament had completely vanished, replaced by a face full of blush and a deep, tender affection in her eyes.

She looked at Lin Yuan's profile, and the last line of defense in her heart finally collapsed completely.

She was no longer just the assassin code-named "Ice," nor a weakling clinging to others for survival.

She was his woman.

Willing to walk in the darkness for him, using those hands meant for killing to brush away the dust for him.

[System Notification: Detected that Xia Bingli's loyalty has increased to Green, and Affinity has increased to Lv2!]

A pleasant system notification sounded in Lin Yuan's mind.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he gently stroked Xia Bingli's smooth back.

Immediately after, an even more important notification arrived.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully winning over the twin sisters!]

[Exclusive Resource Evolution conditions met!]

[Resource evolving...]

Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened as he quickly checked the information of his new weapon.

Lin Yuan felt the majestic sword intent in his sea of consciousness, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart.

With these ten thousand Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Swords, the upcoming tide of sea beasts...

...would no longer be a disaster, but a grand... feast of slaughter.

He lowered his head and gave each of the two women a gentle kiss on the forehead.
