Chapter 722: Outsmarting the Situation
Chen Moxiang lay limply on the sofa, her arms and legs spread out, but her flirtatious eyes revealed a sense of comfort, and her face looked thoroughly pleased.
"Feeling good?" Lin Tian asked with a mischievous smile as he observed the scene before him.
The scene in the room was too easy to be misunderstood, wasn’t it?
Faced with Lin Tian’s teasing, Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes, "Not comfortable at all, it was too strong, too painful."
"Uh..." Lin Tian’s smile froze for a moment.
Those words seemed to carry some ambiguity.
Chen Moxiang regretted her words immediately, no matter how it sounded, it was a blatant tease, right?
Seeing the strange smile on Lin Tian’s face, Chen Moxiang knew that guy was surely imagining something inappropriate.
Instantly, she lifted her smooth foot and aimed a kick at Lin Tian’s face.
As her leg swung with force, Lin Tian shifted to the side, the five fingers of his right hand curled, and he caught Chen Moxiang’s ankle.
"What, still not satisfied?" Lin Tian laughed while simultaneously forming a fist with his left hand, pressing down hard with the knuckle of his middle finger on the Yongquan Acupoint on Chen Moxiang’s foot.
"Ah~"
The sound of an alluring, high-pitched mature woman’s voice rang out again, sending shivers through Lin Tian’s whole body.
"Let go!" Chen Moxiang’s face reddened with urgency, trying to pull her leg back, but unfortunately, it was held firmly by Lin Tian.
Lin Tian chuckled roguishly, turning his thumb, pressing down hard again.
In just a moment, Chen Moxiang was completely out of strength.
Her eyes were seductive like silk, though filled with anger as she glared at Lin Tian, still appearing as if she was seducing him.
At this moment, Chen Moxiang was feeling very aggrieved. How was it that as the captain of the Special Operations Division of the Security Management Institute, she couldn’t overpower this guy? Worse yet, she couldn’t outsmart him in a verbal spar either.
After a bit of fuss, the two composed themselves.
Lin Tian sat down on the sofa, smiling as he asked, "You came to my room so late at night, wearing just a robe, you’re not here to seduce me intentionally, are you?"
Chen Moxiang’s brow furrowed instantly, she glared viciously at Lin Tian, "Couldn’t sleep, so I wanted you to give me a massage. Last time, the massage you gave me put me right to sleep. So this time, I wanted you to do it again but instead, it made me even more awake!"
Lin Tian said with a cry-and-laugh expression, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? How about I give you another massage?"
The last time Lin Tian gave Chen Moxiang a massage, he started with heavy pressure and gradually lightened it, pressing a few acupoints that aid sleep at the end, so she slept very well last time.
However, not this time. Lin Tian’s pressure was quite strong, so after the stimulation, Chen Moxiang was far too alert now.
She felt, that with her current energy, she could beat Lin Tian to a pulp.
Seeing Lin Tian smile, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth in irritation, snorted heavily, "No need!"
"So, besides this, do you have anything else?"
"There is..."
To be honest, Chen Moxiang really had nothing else, just couldn’t sleep and came over for a hypnotic foot massage, who would have thought it would turn out like this!
But saying she had nothing, she was a little unwilling, wouldn’t that mean she would have to leave?
Staying alone in her room, how boring would that be?
"So, what else do you have?" Lin Tian asked with a smug smile.
Chen Moxiang sighed softly, saying, "Let’s just chat for a while."
"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"
"What do you think about today’s events?"
Lin Tian pondered for a couple of seconds, then said, "Although the test results of the viruses aren’t out yet, one thing is certain, the people of Sakula Country are up to something big, and it’s targeting the ancient martial families."
This wasn’t a guess from Lin Tian, but something he learned from Xiaogang and those people from Sakula Country. Even though only a little was revealed, it was already enough.
Maybe when the auction comes, they could even catch that scumbag Bai Wuchang.
Chen Moxiang nodded in agreement, then suddenly said, "I might have to go to this auction with you too."
"Because of the virus?"
"Yes, this issue is too significant to be neglected."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian wasn’t sure if he should laugh or cry. If Chen Moxiang came along, she might not be able to help but could potentially mess things up.
After all, he had planned to sneak into the Alliance’s mansion with Miaoqiu to steal medicine. Chen Moxiang, having grown up in the military camp, was full of righteousness, and being an official figure, who knows what consequences it would bring if she found out?
Lin Tian shuffled closer to Chen Moxiang, sitting a bit nearer, and asked, "Let me ask you something, are you interested in those rare medicinal herbs?"
Chen Moxiang frowned as Lin Tian moved closer but didn’t say much. She only replied, "Are you talking about the Millennium Ginseng you asked me to buy last time? I have no interest in that kind of thing."
"How could you not be interested?" Lin Tian raised his voice, "There are many herbs, for instance, one called ’Elixir of Immortality’, though it can’t grant eternal life, it can extend your youth by twenty years, even when you’re fifty, your skin would still be as good as it is now."
Chen Moxiang’s pupils changed instantly, she leaned closer to Lin Tian, quietly asking, "Is it really that magical?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"Alright, then I’ll go to the auction, and if there is some, I’ll buy it and try it out."
Lin Tian’s lips curled into a smile, indeed discussing these topics with women offers a powerful persuasion.
At this moment, Lin Tian resembled an unscrupulous uncle trying to coax a young girl, but Chen Moxiang, entirely focused on the Elixir of Immortality, didn’t notice at all.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Tian said, "But those rare herbs, the ancient martial families wouldn’t put them up for auction."
"Then why did you tell me this?!"
"If they won’t sell them, we can use some means."
"Like what?"
"We can outsmart them, for example... steal."
