Gwen lowered her head somewhat shyly: "I...I will try my best!"
“Effort alone is not enough,” Lin Tian leaned close to Gwen’s ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe, his voice deep and magnetic, “You also need… more in-depth guidance.”
Gwen's body tensed instantly, and her breathing became rapid.
She knew what Lin Tian meant by "guidance".
After each battle or ability upgrade, he would reward her in this way, which was also a deeper infusion and fusion of power.
Although she was shy, she was really looking forward to it.
That ultimate experience of fulfilling both her power and soul was irresistible to her.
"Hmm..." Gwen made a barely audible response from her throat, which was considered tacit consent.
Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction, picked her up by the waist, and carried her to the bedroom.
This time, Lin Tian was clearly more attentive in his guidance.
He was not only pursuing his own cultivation improvement and satisfying his desires, but also consciously guiding energy to repair the minor damage that Gwen might have suffered in the battle. At the same time, he was imprinting some more subtle power application techniques into her body's instincts through the fusion of energy.
Gwen felt like a sponge, greedily absorbing the energy and information that Lin Tian was transmitting.
She could clearly feel that her control over her spider abilities had reached a new level! Her power was now used more freely, and her spider senses were much sharper!
And along with the increase in power came the same supreme pleasure that made her soul tremble.
After it was over, Gwen curled up in Lin Tian's arms, like a lazy and content kitten.
She could feel Lin Tian's heartbeat, steady and strong, giving her an unparalleled sense of security.
"Lin..." She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Today... was it you who helped me?"
Lin Tian closed his eyes and did not answer, but simply kissed her smooth forehead gently.
This kiss speaks louder than a thousand words.
Gwen's heart was completely at ease, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
It turns out he had been watching over me and protecting me all along.
She was captivated by the feeling of being cherished and protected.
However, just as she was getting ready to fall asleep, a thought suddenly popped into her head uncontrollably.
Today… Lin Tian seems to have come back later than her?
When she knocked on the door, it seemed like he had just finished taking a shower.
What did he go out to do?
Is he going to help deal with the aftermath of the Green Goblin incident? Or...?
For the first time, Gwen felt a touch of curiosity and unease about Lin Tian's whereabouts.
She could sense that Lin Tian seemed to be hiding many secrets from her.
She used to not care, thinking that as long as she could be with him and receive his strength and affection, that would be enough.
But now she's starting to care a little.
Especially when I think of Natasha Romanoff, the red-haired woman from S.H.I.E.L.D. during the day.
She's so beautiful, so capable, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent...
Will Lin Tian treat her...?
Gwen dared not think any further and shook her head vigorously to banish the terrible thought from her mind.
No! Lin belongs to me alone!
She subconsciously tightened her arms around Lin Tian, as if trying to keep him firmly by her side.
The girl's thoughts, like vines, quietly sprouted, carrying a hint of sweetness, and also a hint of... barely perceptible bitterness.
Lin Tian, who was in her arms, seemed to sense her change in mood. In the darkness, a playful smile appeared on his lips that no one noticed.
The game is getting more and more interesting.

Chapter Seventeen: What I've always wanted... is you.
Over the next few days, Natasha felt like she was caught in a bizarre cat-and-mouse game.
She used all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, trying to dig out any clues about Lin Tian from the outside, only to find that this man was as clean as a blank sheet of paper and as mysterious as a fog.
His bank account statements were perfectly normal, with no large or suspicious transactions.
His social relationships were so simple that they were almost non-existent; apart from his landlord and a few deliverymen, he hardly interacted with anyone.
All the conventional electronic surveillance equipment around his apartment was rendered useless, let alone sending agents to conduct physical surveillance. The agents sent either quickly lost sight of their targets or were simply thwarted by some unexpected event, making it impossible for them to get close.
Lin Tian is like a hermit living in a modern city, perfectly hiding himself beneath an ordinary appearance.
But Natasha knew that this was not the truth.
The man who can manipulate objects remotely, heal injuries instantly, foresee information, and may even have the ability to influence minds, is definitely not an ordinary person!
The more she couldn't find out, the more Natasha's curiosity and... competitiveness were aroused.
She began to try some unconventional methods.
For example, they might disguise themselves as different people and create various chance encounters.
One time was at a supermarket. Natasha, pushing a shopping cart, pretended to bump into Lin Tian, who was also shopping.
"Hi, Mr. Lin, what a coincidence!" she said with a friendly smile.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Lin Tian replied with a smile, glancing at the items in her shopping cart. "Miss Romanov likes to cook?"
Natasha felt a chill run down her spine.
He called out her surname again!
And... how did he know I'm a good cook? This information shouldn't be in any publicly available information!
"Occasionally, I guess. It's healthier to cook for myself," she replied calmly.
“Yes, health is very important.” Lin Tian nodded, then picked up a box of blueberries from the shelf. “However, for someone like you with a constitution that tends to be cold, although blueberries are antioxidants, it’s better to eat less of them.”
After saying that, he winked at Natasha, then pushed his shopping cart away.
Natasha stood there, stunned.
A constitution prone to coldness? How did he know?!
This is a hidden ailment left over from the Red House training period, known to only a very few people!
Is he concerned about me? Or is he... showing off his insight?
Another time was at an art gallery.
Natasha is admiring an abstract painting, trying to find some clues about an arms dealer laundering money.
"This painting expresses an extreme longing for freedom amidst repression and constraint, doesn't it?" A familiar voice sounded behind her.
Natasha turned around, and sure enough, it was Lin Tian. He was wearing a well-tailored casual suit today, looking elegant and charming.
"Mr. Lin also understands art?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"I know a little bit about it." Lin Tian walked to her side and looked at the painting with her. The two were very close, and Natasha could even smell his unique fragrance that made her heart race.
“Sometimes, painting is more than just painting,” Lin Tian turned his head, his gaze falling on Natasha's profile, his eyes deep, “It can also hide some… secrets. For example, the special formula of the paint, the tiny markings on the back of the canvas…”
Natasha's heart skipped a beat!
Pigment formula? Canvas markings? Could it be...?
She suppressed the urge to immediately examine the painting and looked at Lin Tian: "Mr. Lin seems to... know a lot?"
"I don't know much, I've just observed things quite carefully." Lin Tian smiled, turning his gaze to another painting. "I'm leaving now. I wish you... to find the answer you're looking for."
He left once again with an air of nonchalance, leaving Natasha standing there alone, her heart filled with turmoil.
This man always appeared when she needed clues the most, giving her hints in a casual yet incredibly precise way.
Is he toying with me? Is he enjoying the feeling of being in control, watching me struggle in his palm?
Anger, frustration, curiosity, and... a hint of shame and resentment at being seen through—all sorts of complex emotions intertwined in Natasha's heart.
She knew that she was gradually falling into the web woven by Lin Tian.
Reason told her that she should immediately get away from this dangerous man and completely cut him off from her.
But emotions and... the instincts of a secret agent compelled her to get closer, to peel back the layers of mystery surrounding him, to find out who he really was and what he wanted to do!
This feeling is like facing a beautifully packaged candy that is clearly labeled "highly poisonous".
Knowing it's dangerous, yet unable to resist... wanting to take a bite.
That evening, Natasha returned to her safe house, exhausted, after a day of investigation.
As soon as the light was turned on, she froze!
A figure was sitting on the sofa in the living room!
It's Lin Tian!
He actually... sneaked into her highly secure SHIELD safe house without a sound?!
Natasha instantly went into battle mode, her muscles tense, her eyes sharp as knives!
"Don't be nervous," Lin Tian said lazily, leaning back on the sofa, toying with a miniature USB drive that Natasha used to store top-secret documents! It was hidden in the most secret compartment of her bedroom! "I'm just here to... return something."
He gently tossed the USB drive to Natasha.
Natasha instinctively caught the USB drive, looked at it in her hand, then glanced at the unharmed bedroom, and a storm raged in her heart!
He not only managed to infiltrate this place, but he could even easily find her most secret hiding place?!
This is beyond dangerous! This is simply... unpredictable!
"What exactly do you want?!" Natasha's voice trembled slightly with shock and anger. This was the first time she had felt so utterly powerless and...terrified in front of someone.
Lin Tian stood up and slowly walked towards Natasha.
His pace was slow, yet it carried an invisible pressure that caused Natasha to involuntarily take a step back.
He walked up to Natasha and stopped. The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
"What do I want?" Lin Tian lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Natasha's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, his words both ambiguous and seductive:
"What I've always wanted... is you, Natasha."
A warm breath brushed past her ear, and that magnetic voice seemed to carry a spell, making Natasha tremble and her mind go blank for a moment.

Chapter 18: When Your Defenses Collapse, You Will Willingly Become My Sacrifice
"You've always been the one I've wanted, Natasha."
Lin Tian's deep and magnetic voice, like the most mellow spell, echoed in Natasha's ears, each word striking precisely at the most vulnerable part of her heartstrings.
The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, bringing a shivering, tingling sensation that instantly shattered Natasha's newly formed guard and anger.
Her mind went blank, her body stiffened, and she even forgot to breathe.
