Chapter 86 A Complete Shift in Mindset

Just as Lady Rose was trapped in a nightmare from which she could not extricate herself.

Lin Bei's warm embrace was like a ray of the rising sun, piercing through her nightmare and bringing peace back to her heart.

At that moment, Rose felt a sense of security and warmth she had never experienced before.

In this safe and warm environment, she found great comfort for both her body and mind, and was able to get an unprecedentedly peaceful sleep.

In her dream, she seemed to return to that rainy autumn night.

At that time, their family of five, spanning three generations, was so warm and happy.

Besides working, she usually spends her time at the family shrine praying for the villagers and healing their illnesses.

At that time, her dream was to grow up, leave the mountain village, and become a shrine maiden at the Great Shrine.

She never imagined that what she took for granted as a child would become a happiness she could never regain in her entire life.

Outside the dream, Lin Bei felt the water temperature in the bathtub drop again. He picked up the sleeping Mrs. Rose from his arms and walked out of the tub.

He wanted to soak a little longer, after all, he had a beautiful woman in his arms, her body warm and soft.

Although you can't eat them, you can still feast your eyes and touch them.

However, the last bit of true solar fire had already been used up when the humanoid form was almost heated up.

He was fine soaking in cold water for a long time, but Lady Rose, being only human, would likely get a fever or a cold if she continued soaking.

If it gets too severe, it can even lead to lifelong disability.

Although his yang energy can be repaired, it didn't just appear out of thin air; it was something he painstakingly refined little by little.

Avoid waste if possible.

So, with a slight reluctance, they carried Lady Rose out of the bathtub, covered her with a towel, and then carried her to Lady Rose's bedroom, placing her on the bed.

Looking at the peacefully sleeping Lady Rose, Lin Bei's expression was somewhat complicated.

He wasn't sure which of the two women resembling Lady Rose was the real one, or if both were.

It's also unclear what role Sakonji Urokodaki played in this matter.

Despite his many questions, he decided to wait until tomorrow to get the answers from Madam Rose and did not wake her.

Then, behaving like a beast, he prepared to turn and leave.

However, just as Lin Bei was about to leave, a soft and icy hand suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Don't go!"

Lin Bei turned around and saw that Madam Rose had woken up at some point and was now holding his hand anxiously.

The thin blanket slipped off her body, revealing her fair and delicate upper body.

Lin Bei, however, kept his eyes straight ahead, looking at Madam Rose with a calm gaze.

He had the air of a virtuous man who remained unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

This sudden scene caused Lady Rose's face to turn bright red.

He subconsciously used his other hand to tightly cover the two snow-capped mountains.

It would have been better if she hadn't covered it up.

Covering it up made the snow-capped mountain appear even taller and more imposing, almost causing Lin Bei, who had already "measured" it in the bathtub, to turn his head in surprise.

Holy crap, this damn temptation.

I almost lost control!

Lin Bei's heart pounded wildly.

Initially, Lin Bei felt repulsed and even disgusted by Madam Rose's behavior.

That's why he could remain unmoved by Lady Rose's deliberate seduction.

However, after Lin Bei's feelings for Lady Rose changed due to her unconscious display of genuine emotion, he was almost flirted with by her unintentional actions.

Fortunately, he regained his composure, otherwise his lifelong reputation would have been ruined.

Lin Bei's unwavering gaze and composed demeanor, however, caused her to feel a significant increase in her affection for him.

Although she was a little disappointed.

But her unwavering willpower and character made her realize that her previous decision was not wrong.

So she didn't care about the light leaking out, and simply grabbed Lin Bei's hands with both of them, preventing him from leaving.

"Don't go, I'll tell you everything."

"And there was not the slightest concealment or misrepresentation."

"Please give me another chance."

Seeing Mrs. Rose's stubborn expression, as if she wouldn't let go until Lin Bei agreed, Lin Bei had no choice but to give up.

Lady Rose is not an enemy, at least not now.

Therefore, he had no way to deal with Lady Rose using the same methods he used against enemies; the previous accident was still fresh in his mind.

To Lin Bei, Madam Rose was like a porcelain doll.

He could hurt Lady Rose if he used even a little force.

So he could only reluctantly agree.

"Okay, I won't leave."

"I was planning to ask you tomorrow, but since you want to talk about it now, I'll listen to what you have to say."

"I just hope you'll be honest and stop trying to lie to me."

"You know I'm not a soft-hearted person."

Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Madam Rose's throat bobbed involuntarily.

"Gulp..."

The image of her near-death experience flashed through her mind.

His face turned pale instantly.

This wasn't because she had something to hide; it was purely a biological instinct stemming from her fear of death.

Since Lady Rose had already decided to be completely honest, she quickly suppressed her fear.

She shook her head slightly, her eyes, once calm, now filled with strength and sincerity, devoid of any panic.

"Not this time!"

"But I have one request."

Lin Bei frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"What are your requirements?"

A perfectly timed look of fear and pleading appeared in Lady Rose's eyes.

"Hold me!"

"I'm scared!"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow.

"What are you afraid of?"

He hadn't expected that Lady Rose's so-called request was simply for him to hold her.

What a strange request!

Do you want to continue seducing him?

Lin Bei shook his head secretly again. At this moment, all of Madam Rose's every move and emotional fluctuations were within the range of his spiritual sense.

He could sense that Lady Rose was indeed somewhat frightened, but she didn't have any other ill intentions.

Seeing that Lin Bei didn't move, Madam Rose's pleading deepened, and her eyes welled up with tears.

The puppy looks like it's been neglected by its owner.

Seeing this, Lin Bei sighed deeply.

"Okay, I agree."

"Just don't say I'm taking advantage of you."

After all, Lin Bei is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

If anyone tries to scheme against him or harm him, he will respond with the most ruthless methods.

But if, like Madame Butterfly at this moment, one abandons all scheming and manipulation and approaches him with the purest of intentions, he is still very easy to talk to.

Upon hearing Lin Bei's agreement, Madam Rose gently pulled Lin Bei to sit on the edge of her bed, leaning against his chest.

Returning to this warm and reliable embrace, Lady Rose once again wore a relieved and comfortable smile.

He looked up at Lin Bei's sharply defined jawline, his eyes flashing with a girlish slyness and happiness, his lips slightly pouting, and a blush rising on his face.

"Haven't you already taken all the advantages, whether you should or shouldn't have?"

"What are you afraid of now?"
