Chapter 008: Seduction

Du Fan woke up in a daze. He faintly sensed that a pair of delicate hands were gently touching his chest.
Du Fan smirked to himself. Sure enough, she had come. Sister Tasia had always seemed to pay him subtle attention throughout their journey. If not for his heightened senses from practicing countless techniques, he might not have noticed at all.
Ah, the dream woman in the hearts of men in the capital had fallen at his feet. Her charm was truly invincible!
Yet such invincibility was somewhat lamentable. Just think—thousands of young women in the empire secretly adored him and would shamelessly pursue him at the slightest chance to engage in an affair. Du Fan felt extreme despair: How could he keep up with so many women? Although in past lives, the characters who traveled through time in novels often had exceptional stamina, he still didn’t seem to have reached that level!
It seemed novels were just novels—reality was incomparable.
While Du Fan was indulging in self-pity, the hands that had been touching him slid downward.
He was stunned. No way—Tasia was so skilled! Her techniques seemed even more professional than those of the most famous actresses from the island nation in his past life. Could it be he had guessed correctly? Though her name wasn’t Ruhua, maybe she did suffer from some kind of disease!
It seemed true what they said—palaces and churches had always been places of corruption. This… truly proved the ancients were right!
Thinking of the small ads on telephone poles from his past life and the hands slowly moving toward his private parts, Du Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
Who would have thought that after constantly pursuing women, it was now they who were pursuing him? Tasia might really believe the rumors that since Emily had pushed her around, she could do the same to him.
Though being pushed around by such a beautiful woman might sound nice, Du Fan, being young and promising, didn’t want to fall ill so early!
With that in mind, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse outright. Instead, he suddenly turned over, moved to the side, pulled the blanket over his head, and continued sleeping soundly.

Tasia seemed startled by Du Fan’s movements, but after a moment, a soft laugh could be heard from her, followed by faint sounds. Du Fan narrowed his eyes and saw, in the dim night, a pale, almost sickly white body gradually emerging before him. Tasia, who usually feared the cold, seemed unafraid at all now. She quickly took off her clothes and, like a water snake, pulled at Du Fan’s blanket, trying to climb in. Du Fan was utterly shocked, thinking, Good heavens! If she really gets in, even if I’m reborn as the God of Light or possessed by the Supreme God, I won’t be able to resist such temptation! Moreover, as a man prone to losing control when faced with beauty, having her get in would be a real problem. Leaving aside whether to let her in or not, just thinking about Chenchen still sleeping in his arms made him lose interest. Although Chenchen had turned into a kitten now, doing something like that in front of two beautiful women… that was pure suicide! But Du Fan couldn’t really do anything about it. He could only turn away again, tightly holding onto his blanket and pretending to sleep, thinking, You can’t get in, you can’t get in… Outside, Tasia seemed to sense something. After pulling for a while, she sat right on top of Du Fan. Even through the blanket, he could still faintly feel her soft, delicate touch. Finally, with a series of movements, Du Fan realized that, despite the blanket, Tasia was clinging to him like an octopus, wrapping it tightly around him until he felt dizzy. Although he could easily dispel this feeling by using his combat energy, he was afraid Tasia would notice he had woken up. So he remained motionless, utterly frustrated. In this silent struggle, unable to use his combat energy, Du Fan eventually fell at a disadvantage. As Tasia’s movements grew more forceful, he felt his innocence slipping further and further away! No! I don’t want this! The purest, noblest, and most devout priest in history cried out in his heart. Unfortunately, aside from himself, no one else could save him. Moreover, thinking of Tasia’s icy, stunning face and her perfect figure hidden beneath her robes, his heart still burned with desire… “Swish—”

The obstacle between the two of them was finally torn in half, and that snow-white body suddenly wrapped around Du Fan. This time, a scorching heat and sweet scent hit him, stirring desire in his heart.

The woman in his arms seemed to sense Du Fan’s reaction. She suddenly let out a coquettish laugh and said, “You bastard! So you were awake all along. But why play such games with your sister? Are you afraid your pretty girl will find out? Don’t worry. I checked when I came in—she’s not here!!!”

Hearing this, Du Fan was stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at the woman before him. Though she had a delicate face, it was filled with seduction, especially the freckles on her nose. Even in the darkness, Du Fan could see them clearly.

This woman was none other than Eirwen, the mage from the Snow Fox Mercenary Group. Her beauty was passable, but it paled in comparison to Tasia’s. Seeing her seductive expression and recalling her earlier actions, Du Fan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, leaving him completely devoid of thoughts.

After being stunned for a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “How is it you!”

“You bastard,” Eirwen said, sticking out her tongue and gently licking Du Fan’s neck. “If it’s not me, then who else could it be?”

Du Fan’s skin prickled from her touch, but he was extremely anxious. If this woman were Tasia, considering her beauty, he might have been willing to take a small risk and have a friendly fight with her. But for someone like Eirwen, he really had no interest!

Damn it! Why wasn’t it Tasia trying to seduce him?!

At that moment, Eirwen murmured a spell and waved her hand. A small fireball appeared in the air, lighting up the small tent. Clearly an expert at flirting, she added a touch of romance with just that simple gesture.

At the same time, her pale skin was fully exposed before Du Fan—quite a sight indeed.

Although Du Fan always believed that those who didn’t take advantage of opportunities were fools, he really didn’t want to take advantage of this one. All he could do now was quickly close his eyes and seriously say, “Miss Eirwen, please behave properly. What you’re doing is wrong. Could you please let me go?”

Eileen giggled coquettishly, “You bastard, what are you talking about? All men are the same—saying ‘no’ with their mouths while their hands fumble around. After a few more ‘no’s, they’re ready to grab weapons and charge. With such a lustful attitude, how dare you pretend to be pure?”
Du Fan was furious. You’re the one who’s lustful—your whole family is!
He knew Eileen was trying to seduce him probably at Casimir’s orders. Though he wasn’t afraid of any traps they might set, the thought that Tasia might be using some invisibility magic to watch him embarrass himself in the darkness filled him with frustration.
After waiting a while longer and seeing no sign of Eileen letting go, Du Fan grunted in annoyance, and his combat energy flickered.
Unprepared, Eileen was knocked to the side. She fell onto the bed, rubbing her chest as she said, “You bastard, how can you be so heartless? You don’t know how to show kindness to a beautiful woman at all!”
Du Fan thought to himself, Are you even beautiful? Are you even precious?
Seeing Eileen’s flirtatious smile and her attempt to get closer, he felt disgusted. He casually waved his hand, pulled a blanket over her, covering up whatever “erotic light” might be exposed, then sneered, “Miss Eileen, I don’t care what your intentions are or why you’re here. In any case, I’m asking you to leave. You’re not welcome here! Also, because of your behavior, our deal with your Snow Fox Mercenary Group ends now. Leave after dawn!”
Eileen’s smile didn’t fade, but she looked at Du Fan with a mocking grin and said, “Little brother, you have no other choice now. If you drive me away, I’ll scream that you’re assaulting me. I wonder how sad Miss Ruhua, whom you seem to adore, would be if she saw this.”
“So,” Eileen said, licking her lips, “you only have two options now. First, seduce me. Second, let me seduce you. Little brother, which one do you plan to choose?”
Du Fan sneered inwardly but showed a hint of panic on his face. “What exactly do you want?”
Eileen laughed and pursed her lips. “You could have just said that earlier. It’s not up to us to decide. Of course, it’s up to our leader!”
With that, a loud laugh was heard, and several people pushed open the tent and came in—Casimir, Dixi, and Heige from the Snow Fox Mercenary Group.
