This time, it was her initiative!
With the joy of regaining what was lost, with intense love, and with complete surrender to this man!
Her feelings were extremely complicated.
Many of her original grievances and complaints vanished completely upon seeing Lin Tian, replaced by an even stronger sense of emotion.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she knew she had to take the initiative to completely control him.
Lin Tian didn't think too much about it.
Wanda won't neglect her either.
Inside the bedroom, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a hazy glow.
Lin Tian's "guidance" this time seems to be more "attentive" and more domineering than ever before.
He no longer simply guided and enhanced Gwen's spider powers as he had done before.
Instead, she began to use wisps of pure, acacia-like true energy, imbued with a strange purple aura, in an attempt to transform her energy source?
This is a more advanced dual cultivation method that can only be used after reaching the third level of the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture!
In this way, not only can the strength and potential of one's Daoist partner be greatly enhanced, but a deeper layer of the Harmony Imprint can also be planted in their spirit, making them more dependent on you and even more unable to leave!
Gwen felt an unprecedented surge of energy.
The difference compared to when their strength improved was enormous, at least ten times greater.
At first, she felt some pain, as if she was about to be burst by this powerful energy!
Is the energy too much and too pure, exceeding the limit of what can be tolerated?
She was surprised, but Lin Tian quickly smoothed things over. All the violent energy became docile under his control, easily transforming into his own power fluctuations.
She felt that her spider power was undergoing a qualitative transformation under the "baptism" of this purple energy!
Strength, speed, reaction time, and self-healing abilities are all skyrocketing exponentially!
The incredible improvement invigorated her, and she eagerly anticipated how much she would improve in the future.
She even felt that her control over the spider silk had reached a completely new level! It was as if she could control the shape and hardness of the spider silk at will!
more importantly!
She felt that the connection between herself and Lin Tian had become closer than ever before!
It felt as if our souls had merged together!
She could clearly sense Lin Tian's emotions, his power, and even the vast, boundless desire deep within his heart!
By the time everything calmed down, it was already past midnight.
Gwen fell into a deep sleep, like an octopus.
Her lips curled up slightly, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Lin Tian looked at the gentle and adorable girl in his arms, feeling the purer and more powerful spider energy within her body, which had already begun to bear his "mark," and nodded in satisfaction.
The results were even better than expected.
After this "deep transformation", Gwen's strength has increased by at least three times!
While not quite on par with Wanda, who possesses chaos magic, it's more than enough to handle most crises...
More importantly, she will only become more devoted to him.
Lin Tian gently stroked Gwen's smooth back, a deep glint flashing in his eyes.
Gwen, Wanda, Natasha
These three women, each with a distinct style but equally great potential, have already been brought under his "control".
It's time to go find new prey.
His gaze returned to the direction of Stark Tower.
Pepper Potts
This intelligent, capable, and maturely charming businesswoman
This seems like a good option?
It just so happens that her relationship with Stark seems to be going so badly lately?
This is a golden opportunity!
Lin Tian's lips curled up into an evil smile.
It's time to give that arrogant Iron Man a bright and shiny "green hat".
Just as Lin Tian had predicted, Tony Stark had been having a rather unpleasant time lately.
The farce at the UN summit, the Hydra infiltration scandal, the theft of the Mind Scepter, and the mysterious threat from Lin Tian all left him overwhelmed and under immense pressure.
The final straw that broke the camel's back came from the person he cared about most—Pepper Potts.
After that "feast at Hongmen," Pepper keenly noticed Stark's unusual behavior and his excessive attention to the mysterious Eastern youth, Lin Tian.
In addition, Stark remained engrossed in building armor and researching Ultron, paying less and less attention to her.
Pepper finally snapped.
"Tony! How much longer do you expect me to put up with this?!" Pepper slammed a file onto Stark's lab table, her eyes filled with disappointment and exhaustion. "Look at yourself! Besides your metal frame and those dangerous plans, do you even care about me anymore?!"
Stark was caught off guard by Pepper's sudden outburst of anger and instinctively retorted, "Pepper! I did all this to protect you! To protect the world!"
“Protection?!” Pepper laughed bitterly. “Your so-called protection is just leaving me alone in this empty house, worrying that you might die out there one day?! Your so-called protection is creating monsters like Ultron that could destroy the world?!”
“Ultron is for peace!” Stark tried to explain.
“Peace?!” Pepper’s voice suddenly rose. “Look at the last Battle of New York! Look at this UN attack! Your ‘peace weapons’ have only brought more disaster and panic!”
"Tony," Pepper's voice softened, tinged with a hint of pleading, "I'm tired, really tired. I don't want to live this life of fear anymore."
“Let’s separate for a while,” Pepper said with difficulty, her eyes slightly red. “You need to calm down and think carefully about what you really want.”
After saying that, Pepper ignored Stark's shocked and hurt expression, turned around, and resolutely left the laboratory.
Stark stood there, stunned, watching Pepper's departing figure, feeling as if his heart had been hollowed out.
1.8 Pepper is leaving me?
Do not!no!
Stark wanted to chase after him, to stop him, but when he opened his mouth, he found himself unable to say anything.
Pepper was right; she had indeed neglected her for too long.
He was indeed too engrossed in his own world.
A tremendous sense of frustration and loneliness overwhelmed him instantly.
A few days later, at an open-air cafe near Central Park in Manhattan.
Pepper Potts sat there alone, a cup of coffee that had gone cold in front of her.
She has moved out of Stark Tower and into a hotel.
These past few days, she has tried to keep herself busy, handling company affairs and going shopping with friends, but no matter what she does, she cannot dispel the emptiness and loss in her heart.
She loves Tony, without a doubt.
But she really couldn't stand that kind of life anymore.
Just as Pepper was staring blankly out the window, feeling incredibly down...
A gentle yet magnetic voice rang in her ear:
"Beautiful lady, it's not good to be drinking alone here all by yourself."
Pepper looked up in surprise.
Lin Tian had appeared beside her table without her noticing, a charming smile on his face, and a bright red rose in his hand.
“Mr. Lin Lin?” Pepper was somewhat surprised and flustered. “What are you doing here?”
"Just passing by." Lin Tian used the same old excuse as always. He gently handed the red rose in his hand to Pepper. "This is for you, beautiful lady. I hope it will bring you some joy."
Pepper looked at the vibrant red rose before her, then at Lin Tian's handsome face—enough to make any woman's heart flutter—and his deep, penetrating eyes that seemed to see right through people.
Her heart began to race involuntarily.

Faced with the red roses Lin Tian offered and his charming smile, Pepper was momentarily at a loss for words.
She instinctively wanted to refuse. After all, although she and Tony were temporarily separated, their relationship was still there. Moreover, Lin Tian gave her a feeling that was too mysterious and too dangerous.
But looking into Lin Tian's sincere eyes, and feeling the irrepressible longing deep within her heart for "being noticed" and "being cared for," she realized...
Pepper hesitated.
"What? Don't you like roses?" Seeing that she didn't take them for a while, Lin Tian tilted his head slightly, revealing a perfectly timed "hurt" expression. "Or did I bother you?"
"No, no." Pepper quickly waved her hand, and as if possessed, accepted the rose.
The fingertips touched the softness of the petals, the nose caught a faint fragrance, and combined with the unique, reassuring masculine aura emanating from Lin Tian.
Pepper felt her defenses were slowly melting away.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin," she said somewhat awkwardly, placing the roses on the table.
"Just call me Lin." Lin Tian sat down naturally opposite Pepper and said with a smile, "Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"
"Uh, please." Pepper nodded, feeling her cheeks getting a little hot.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?" Lin Tian asked casually, his gaze falling on Pepper's slightly haggard face with just the right amount of concern.
Pepper's heart tightened, and she instinctively wanted to deny it.
But faced with Lin Tian's all-seeing gaze, she felt that all her pretense was so pale and powerless.
The grievances, disappointments, and uncertainty about the future that had been building up inside her for days seemed to have found an outlet, making her want to confide in others.
Pepper opened her mouth, but finally gave a wry smile. "It's nothing, just some work-related troubles."
She still didn't tell anyone about her relationship with Tony.
Lin Tian didn't press the matter further.
He simply looked at Pepper quietly, his gaze gentle and focused, as if to say: It's okay, I'm here, I'm listening.
This silent listening and understanding actually made Pepper feel more relaxed.
She actually started chatting with Lin Tian.
The conversation ranged from the company's recent troubles to future development plans, and even included a few complaints about a certain "unromantic" partner.
Lin Tianze played the role of a perfect listener.
He wouldn't interrupt casually, but would nod to show understanding or offer insightful, even incisive, advice at the appropriate time!
Pepper was astonished to discover that this man, who seemed to be just a "handsome but unattractive" guy, actually had such profound and unique insights into business operations and technological development!
His judgment of market trends, his analysis of technological bottlenecks, and even his insight into human nature far exceeded her expectations!
Chatting with Lin Tian was surprisingly beneficial for her! Even more inspiring than discussing work with Tony!
How is this possible?!
Pepper looked at Lin Tian's incredibly handsome face, which was now radiating intelligence, and was filled with shock and a strange feeling.
How many secrets is this man still hiding?
He's not only powerful and mysterious, but also incredibly intelligent?!
This is simply the embodiment of perfection!
Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for almost an hour.
Pepper felt that the gloom in her heart had indeed been dispelled quite a bit.
Being with Lin Tian made her feel relaxed and happy like never before.
