Chapter 738: Mysterious and Dangerous
Lin Tian gulped with difficulty. Sensing the tension, he chose to turn and run without a second thought.
"Lin Tian! I’ll kill you! Stop!"
With a roar, Chen Moxiang leaped up and charged at Lin Tian.
He even hurt her chest! She absolutely couldn’t let this bastard go!
When a woman goes mad, she becomes unreasonable. Take Chen Moxiang for example; instead of reflecting on how her actions were akin to those of a flower thief, she focused on her chest... Anyway, Lin Tian’s point of focus was why she was following him. She must have been coveting him for a long time.
Chen Moxiang nimbly jumped, standing right in front of Lin Tian, her beautiful face as cold as ice.
She swung a punch with a tricky angle. If it landed, it wouldn’t be fatal but would be enough to control Lin Tian’s upper body.
"Hey, your moves are quite vicious."
Lin Tian muttered to himself and easily dodged the punch with a twist of his body. Then he pulled her into his embrace, a soft, fragrant body melting into his arms.
The unique fragrance of Chen Moxiang flowed into Lin Tian’s nose, invigorating his spirit.
"You... sleazeball..."
Before she could finish the word, her cherry lips were covered by a pair of large hands.
As a member of the Security Management Institute, Chen Moxiang had undergone harsh training since childhood. Though she was tightly held by Lin Tian, she had many ways to counterattack. For instance... she opened her mouth and bit down on Lin Tian’s hand with her row of silver teeth.
"Ouch~"
The pain in his hand caused Lin Tian to let out an uneven gasp, and his handsome face scrunched up in agony.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Moxiang stomped on Lin Tian’s foot, taking advantage of the surprise to escape the rogue’s embrace.
"You vicious woman! You’re too ruthless!" Lin Tian complained, his facial muscles twitching from the pain.
Seeing Lin Tian’s pained expression, Chen Moxiang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Then she straightened her face, gave a heavy snort, and assumed a threatening posture.
"No matter how rough I am, was it as rough as your grip just now? You almost deformed me!"
Lin Tian quickly stepped back and said, "Let’s stop fighting. If you continue, it might draw the Xu Family people here, and that wouldn’t be good. You sneaked in this time; surely you don’t want to be discovered, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxiang’s eyes swirled, and she finally retracted her stance, glared at Lin Tian, and then sat triumphantly on the sofa like a victor.
"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled awkwardly and sat beside Chen Moxiang, saying, "Our first meeting was like this too. You snuck into my room and fought with me..."
"Don’t say it!" Chen Moxiang threatened fiercely, waving her fist.
Of course, she remembered the scene of their first encounter vividly. He had taken many liberties with her! Just thinking about it made her face burn.
"Alright, alright, I won’t say it." Lin Tian quickly waved his hands, afraid that saying more would provoke her into fighting again.
Lin Tian wasn’t afraid of her, but he didn’t want to fight her either. Even if he won, it wouldn’t be worth it. Losing... wasn’t an option.
Lin Tian looked at Chen Moxiang with concern and asked, "Did you get hurt anywhere? Want me to rub it for you? You know, I’m great at massages."
Chen Moxiang’s face turned red and white. She was so furious she wanted to shoot Lin Tian on the spot.
Her chest was already burning with pain; she didn’t need his massage!
Seeing her expression, Lin Tian realized he’d said the wrong thing. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "So, what brings you here, Mr. Chen?"
Hearing Lin Tian get to the point, Chen Moxiang’s expression softened a bit. She took a deep breath and said, "It’s because of you! Don’t you know you’re in a very dangerous situation right now?"
Lin Tian was puzzled. "What do you mean? How’s it dangerous?"
"Are you a pig? This is the Ancient Martial the Xu Family, the most mysterious and dangerous of all the families! Contacting them, be careful or you’ll be devoured, bones and all!" Chen Moxiang said seriously.
Lin Tian’s mouth dropped open in surprise. "It can’t be that bad..."
"Why can’t it be? The Xu Family practices the Charming Skill, easily ensnaring people’s minds! There was an ancestor of the Xu Family hundreds of years ago, supposedly born with mesmerizing bones, who turned all the families upside down. Everyone treated them like a cult, eager to eliminate them, yet look at them now. Their family still exists and is quite powerful. Don’t you find that strange?"
Lin Tian pondered for a few seconds, then said, "It is strange, so what?"
"So what? Are you a fool? I’m about to be driven crazy by you! All the clues indicate this Xu Family is extraordinary. Look around you, who are these people? Just a bunch of seductive foxes! Don’t you practice Qi Gong? If they use you for practice, they’ll suck you dry in an instant!"
"Besides, other families have many people in the military and political fields. But the Xu Family hardly has anyone in officialdom. Most of them operate underground and have spent a lot of resources building an intelligence network. All this marks them as extraordinarily mysterious and unique."
Chen Moxiang, looking like a parent disappointed in their child, said, "Other families avoid them, but you just walk right in."
Lin Tian rubbed his nose with a bitter smile. "It can’t be that bad... I’m not that stupid yet."
"I think you are that stupid!" Chen Moxiang raised her voice. "Right now! Leave this place immediately! Follow me out through the balcony!"
Lin Tian blinked, and with a mischievous grin, said, "Are you worried about me?"
"As if! Shameless!" Chen Moxiang paused for two seconds and, with a straight face, said, "You promised me you’d help me with missions when I needed it. Besides, Mr. Zhang surely has tasks for you. If you die here, wouldn’t that be too easy for you?"
"So you are worried about me?"
"No! I just consider you a laborer!"
"Still sounds like you’re worried about me. Afraid you won’t see me again, right?" Lin Tian smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Think whatever you want." Chen Moxiang finally conceded, unable to argue with him. "Can we leave now?"
Lin Tian shook his head. "No, I can’t leave yet."
"Why? Didn’t I make myself clear? If you stay here, you’ll be sucked dry! You’re not reluctant to leave those women, are you?" Chen Moxiang asked with a strange expression.
