Chapter 34 ruined a good thing

Lin Yue watched A He as she spoke with downcast eyes. Her eyelashes were long and slender, like two small fans trembling slightly with her breath. The tips of her ears were flushed with a bashful red, and even her voice carried a cautious tenderness.

He picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of Jade Dew Spirit Rice first. The sweet flavor instantly spread across his tongue and slid down his throat. A gentle warmth immediately spread through his abdomen, slowly traveling along his Meridians and soothing his entire body until every limb felt comfortable.

Then he took a sip of Cloud Mushroom Beast Leg Soup. The soup was rich but not greasy, and the warm current grew even stronger, intertwining with the medicinal power of the Spirit Rice to slowly nourish the minor wear and tear left in his body from the duel.

He then took an Essence Condensing Yang Strengthening Pill and put it in his mouth. The Medicinal Pill melted instantly, without any bitterness, only a faint fragrance. Once the medicinal power dissolved, it was like a gentle stream slowly seeping into his hundred channels. His mind, which had been somewhat restless from worrying about the Secret Realm and fighting others, gradually calmed down, and even his physique felt a few degrees firmer.

This gentle yet powerful sense of nourishment made Lin Yue feel completely refreshed. But when he looked up and saw A He standing aside again, the comfort in his heart suddenly turned into a different kind of strange throbbing.

A He still maintained her posture from when she was introducing the items, her hands lightly clasped in front of her. Seeing him look over, she quickly looked up, her eyes filled with a bit of anticipation and a bit of shyness, like a small animal waiting to be praised.

After consuming the delicacies and the Medicinal Pill, Lin Yue only felt a surge of heat coursing through his body. His gaze involuntarily fell upon A He's graceful figure. Her curvaceous body, delicate skin, and bashful demeanor made Lin Yue's heart race and his blood boil.

Especially when he saw A He's slightly trembling lips, a certain part of his body felt as if it had been ignited and began to stir. This intense desire made Lin Yue lose control; he suddenly reached out and pulled A He tightly into his arms.

A He clearly hadn't expected Lin Yue to be so impulsive. A blush crept onto her face, and she tried to push him away with a hint of bashfulness. She whispered, "It's broad daylight... what if the two sisters see us? It wouldn't be good. It's better to wait until night... then I'll let Husband..." By the end, her voice grew lower and lower until it was almost inaudible, but Lin Yue still clearly heard the affection in her words.

However, at this moment, Lin Yue was already blinded by desire. How could he hold back? Without a word, he lowered his head and kissed A He's soft lips. A He was caught off guard by the sudden kiss, her body trembling slightly as she tried to break free from his embrace, but Lin Yue's strength was too great for her to escape.

As Lin Yue's kiss became more passionate, A He gradually lost the strength to resist. Her breathing became hurried, and her delicate body involuntarily went limp in Lin Yue's arms.

Lin Yue's hands also began to wander. A He's heart pounded even harder, and her cheeks were so hot they looked as if they could drip blood.

Seeing Lin Yue's hand constantly moving downward, A He finally snapped out of her daze. She tightly grabbed Lin Yue's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "The... the door isn't closed..."

However, Lin Yue's gaze was like a burning flame, fixed intently on A He. His voice was low and husky, carrying an imperceptible tremor, "At this hour, who would come in..."

Lin Yue's body was already like a volcano on the verge of eruption. The long-accumulated passion burst forth at this moment like a flood breaking through a dam. He couldn't care about anything else; he only wanted to crush A He's body into his and release his emotions to his heart's content.

"You lecher! How dare you!"

Lin Yue was startled by the sudden voice. His hand froze in mid-air, and his body felt as if it had been hit by a binding spell, unable to move.

He slowly turned his head and saw Su Qingyuan at the door. Her face was frosty and her eyes were cold. There was a clear hint of jealousy in her chilly voice, which felt like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, snapping him back to his senses instantly.

Lin Yue let go of her somewhat awkwardly, and A He, like a startled rabbit, quickly hid behind him.

Seeing this, Su Qingyuan snorted coldly and walked in quickly. Her gaze was like a knife, staring straight at Lin Yue as she said, "Haven't you tossed A He around enough these past few days, all night long? Even in broad daylight, you're so impatient to bully her?"

Lin Yue's face flushed red and white. He opened his mouth to explain but found himself speechless.

A He, however, blushed and said to Su Qingyuan, "It's not what Sister thinks. Husband... he was... guiding my cultivation..."

"Guiding your cultivation?" Seeing A He like this, Su Qingyuan's anger flared even more. "Hmph! It's as if I've spoiled your good time. Fine, from now on, I won't bother with anything concerning you."

Lin Yue stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. He was filled with regret; he should have listened to A He and locked the door... no, he should have turned on all the Restrictions so that no matter how Su Qingyuan hacked at them with her sword, she couldn't get in...

But it was too late for that now. He also knew that for Su Qingyuan to come in at this hour, something must have happened.

Sure enough, Su Qingyuan's expression turned serious as she said, "Your East Mountain Spirit Garden has been surrounded. Sister Luo told me to inform you. As for whether you care or not, that's your business." With a cold snort, she turned and left without looking back.

"Damn it!" Lin Yue flared up upon hearing this. Was there no end to this? They actually dared to surround my East Mountain Medicine Garden?

When Lin Yue arrived at the gate of the East Mountain Medicine Garden, he found it surrounded by layers upon layers of Outer Sect Disciples. The clamor was even more intense than the roar from below the Trial Platform during his match with Ren Yanran a few days ago.

The Outer Sect Disciples blocking the gate were all full of anticipation. Some held freshly picked third-grade Spiritual Plants, some carried gift boxes with various precious gifts, and some had specially changed into brand-new Sect robes, their faces plastered with forced smiles as they stood on tiptoe to peer into the Medicine Garden.

Among these people, many were former followers of Lin Dexuan who had later turned to Zhao Dezhu when the wind changed. Now, seeing Lin Yue's rise, they had come crawling back.

"Senior Brother Lin! I was a Disciple under Elder Lin a few years ago!" A tall, thin Disciple squeezed to the front and raised his voice. "Back then, I was also forced by Zhao Dezhu to leave the Medicine Garden. Please be magnanimous and give me another chance!"

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, and the Disciple holding the Spiritual Plant pushed it forward. "Senior Brother Lin, this is 'qi condensing grass' I specifically went to the Back Mountain to pick. It can help with Cultivation. Please accept it! I'm very familiar with identifying medicinal herbs; I'll definitely be a help if I join the Medicine Garden!"

The crowd was noisy and rowdy, nearly breaking down the wooden gate of the Medicine Garden.

Lin Dexuan stood in the courtyard, looking at the familiar yet strange faces outside. His brow was tightly furrowed; he still remembered the decisiveness of their betrayal back then.

People like this could not be accepted back, no matter what.
