283: Real man

The night deepened. Xu Sanyan exhaled a breath of stale air. After a day of recuperation, his injuries had improved somewhat; he estimated that another half-month should be enough.

"Creak—"

The sound of a door closing came from next door. Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. Was Chang Yin Nu really staying next door?

There was only a wall separating the two of them. Given his cultivation, he could hear even Chang Yin Nu's breathing clearly; there was no secret to speak of.

He tilted his ear to listen. A faint sound of footsteps came from next door, gradually approaching his room, and finally stopping.

In Xu Sanyan's perception, Chang Yin Nu was currently pressed against the wall, listening to the sounds from his room.

The two of them were monitoring each other.

Xu Sanyan thought for a moment, placed the secret realm fruit on the bed, and sat cross-legged himself, meditating to heal his injuries.

"Inhale... exhale..."

As time passed, Chang Yin Nu remained pressed against the wall, eavesdropping. Xu Sanyan did not mind her; perhaps this was her little hobby, and he chose to respect it.

After a long while, a slight noise reached his ears. Xu Sanyan opened his eyes. Chang Yin Nu had moved; she had finally stopped eavesdropping and turned to do something else, though he didn't know what.

"Click—"

A slight striking sound, like that of a flint, came from next door.

After a while, waves of fragrance slowly seeped in through the gaps around the room. Xu Sanyan twitched his nose and frowned slightly.

Incense? Was Chang Yin Nu lighting incense just now? Why light incense in the middle of the night?

Xu Sanyan's curiosity rose, but he also knew this incense must be strange. Thus, he held his breath, stopped breathing, and incidentally condensed a barrier of magic power around his body.

"Hoo—" Chang Yin Nu's breathing became slightly heavier. "Mmm—" A lazy moan clearly passed through the wall into Xu Sanyan's ears, stirring the imagination.

At this moment, Chang Yin Nu was lying on the bed, half-naked, holding the soul-urging incense in her hand. Her eyes were slightly dazed as she stared at the candle flame in the darkness, and she occasionally let out alluring soft moans.

Although she was seducing Xu Sanyan, she was indeed in heat, because the soul-urging incense had to be used this way.

The fragrance overflowed. This scent was very light and not as pungent as ordinary incense, because this incense was not meant to be smelled... Just as its name suggested, "soul-urging incense" acted directly upon the Divine Soul.

As long as one was within the range of the fragrance, everyone would be affected, and even Chang Yin Nu herself could not be immune...

Unknowingly, this fragrance slowly permeated Xu Sanyan's magic barrier, then lingered around his body bit by bit, attaching itself to his Divine Soul without him noticing at all.

To this, Xu Sanyan was completely unaware! His heart didn't even issue a warning of danger; his usually incredibly sharp senses had all failed at this moment.

Because... the soul-urging incense had no harmful effects. Yes, it had no downsides; it only had one function, which was to increase the activity of one's thoughts, making one mentally alert and heightening the five senses.

And increased mental activity would cause one consequence: various thoughts would come flooding into the mind. Distracting thoughts were the hardest to control, and when combined with the seductive moans of Chang Yin Nu next door, any man with a normal sexual orientation would definitely be filled with wild fantasies!

Using this method, Chang Yin Nu did not know how many men she had subdued; as long as one couldn't leave before the soul-urging incense covered the area, one would definitely fall for it. Even if one were impotent, they would still think about using their tongue!

But unfortunately, he was Xu Sanyan. It wasn't that Xu Sanyan was particularly powerful, but rather that he had just happened to learn a technique not long ago, called the 《Subduing the Mind Monkey Art》!

This method had only one function: to subdue the mind monkey and gather one's thoughts. As long as Xu Sanyan wanted, he could be free of even a single distracting thought. Even if surrounded by beauties seducing him while naked, he could remain as steady as a fisherman on a platform. A real man, if he says he won't get hard, he won't!

"Mr. Lin~~" Chang Yin Nu whispered. Although the voice was soft, it could easily reach Xu Sanyan's ears.

"Hoo—" Chang Yin Nu blew out the soul-urging incense; the half-foot-long incense was already half gone. She felt it should be about enough. The soul-urging incense needed to ferment for a while longer; even if there was no reaction from next door now, she wasn't anxious in her heart, though her body was a bit impatient...

"Mmm—" Chang Yin Nu lay on the bed, twisting her body. Her white dress was scattered, resting loosely on her waist, and large patches of snow-white skin were visible in the darkness. She gazed at the canopy above with a dazed expression, her pupils losing focus, in a state of infatuation. Her boots kicked onto the floor, and the toes inside her white silk socks twitched gently. As she kicked about randomly, the socks slowly slipped off with her movements, revealing small, round feet that intertwined with each other.

"Ah—" An abrupt, high-pitched cry rang out, clearly entering Xu Sanyan's ears. He opened his eyes slightly and curled the corners of his mouth. "Trying to seduce me?"

It was true that he was lecherous, but he also knew that sometimes one could not let the little head control the big head. For example, in this situation, there must be a problem. He didn't know what tricks Chang Yin Nu was up to. Xu Sanyan only felt distracting thoughts flooding his heart, and a scene kept appearing in his mind: Chang Yin Nu lying naked on the bed, her snow-white, smooth skin covered in sweat, her hair disheveled, and stray locks of hair stuck to her forehead by sweat...

"Something is wrong..." Xu Sanyan activated the 《Subduing the Mind Monkey Art》. The chaotic thoughts vanished in an instant, and his mind returned to clarity. This Chang Family Village was very strange; he instantly became vigilant. Who acts like this upon a first meeting? She wasn't a primitive person. It would be understandable for Xun An Cai to be like this because their social structure was like that, but this place was not a primitive society.

The soul-urging incense drifted everywhere, and the moans from next door never ceased. Xu Sanyan looked down and curled his lips into a disdainful sneer. A real man, if he says he won't get it up, he won't!

The night deepened, and the effects of the soul-urging incense gradually dissipated. Chang Yin Nu also gradually regained clarity. She raised her lotus-like arms to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Looking at the empty bed, her expression was full of regret at not being satisfied.

"Are you even a man?" Chang Yin Nu's face was flushed red, the lingering aftereffects yet to dissipate. She looked toward Xu Sanyan's room, her expression very ugly. He still wouldn't come? This wasn't strong willpower; this was simply impotence! But even if he was impotent, he should still come. Chang Yin Nu couldn't understand it; she had never experienced this situation before.

She reached out, balled up her white dress, and wiped the sweat from her body. The droplets were most abundant around her neck and underarms; the effect of the soul-urging incense was as good as ever. But Chang Yin Nu still couldn't figure it out: how did he endure it? Could it be that her temptation wasn't enough?

She looked down at her naked body. From top to bottom, if not perfect, it was at least alluring. The perky peaks, the waist that could be gripped in one hand, the elastic buttocks, the straight and slender legs, the playful and cute feet—every part was impeccable.

Suddenly, Chang Yin Nu remembered something. She had heard that some people had unique tastes and didn't like women, but only liked... men! Could it be... Chang Yin Nu lowered her eyelids. Could she really be so unlucky that the one person she finally met who was pleasing to the eye was someone who preferred men!
