X-Dragon Era-Chapter 280 - s 214-216 Warm Feeling_3

Confidence had vanished, but that wasn’t terrifying; relentless cultivation would one day restore it. The problem for Lan Se now was the fear Po Kong’s overwhelming attacks had instilled in her, completely disorienting her.

In the depths of her soul, the seeds of fear in battle had been sown, and with each subsequent defeat, the seed would grow and sprout until now that seed of failure had grown into a small tree.

In the three years since, her strength hadn’t advanced an inch; in fact, it had somewhat regressed. Despite winning over thirty of the hundreds of competitions during these years, she lost every one against anyone close to her in strength. Especially recently, over thirty matches, and she’d cleanly lost them all.

Although she practiced with life and death dedication, the results were so disheartening... Yet knowing that continuing this way would lead to ruin, she had no solution.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Se leaned against a tree trunk, painfully closed her eyes—if not for the last bit of luck in her heart, the lingering thread of hope, she might have long left this heartbreaking place. But now, for that sliver of hope, she had to persevere, she had to wait for him to appear!

Lost in thought, Lan Se’s mind conjured the smiling face of that boy again, a visage that had appeared countless times over the past three years... Indeed, he was her last thread of hope!

"Ah..." With a wistful sigh, Lan Se slowly opened her eyes, and in the next moment... a face incredibly familiar to her came into view.

"Eh?" Staring at this face she had longed for day and night, Lan Se softly gasped in disbelief, rubbed her eyes, but the visage stubbornly remained before her. What was happening! Had illusions become reality?

Watching Lan Se’s disbelieving and frantic eye-rubbing, Xin Yun laughed heartily, "No need to rub, you’re not seeing things, it’s really me."

With that, Xin Yun’s eyes twinkled with mischief, "I felt your devout call, so I specially came here to see you. What is it... do you have something to tell me?"

"Ah!" At Xin Yun’s words, Lan Se was taken aback, looked at Xin Yun with a mix of belief and doubt, tentatively reached out and touched his cheek, and only upon confirming the reality did she realize that this was no longer an illusion in her mind!

"Yahoo!" Looking at the boy before her, at this moment... in Lan Se’s eyes, he was simply the loveliest person in the world; with a jubilant cry, she excitedly embraced Xin Yun tightly.

"Uh…" Caught off guard, Xin Yun was suddenly enveloped in her embrace, his face buried in the grandeur of Lan Se’s bosom, a rich fragrance instantly enveloping him.

At this moment, Lan Se had trained relentlessly for half a night, her body already drenched in fragrant sweat, exuding a strong feminine scent, almost intoxicating.

Three years ago, Lan Se was already twenty-two, and now, at twenty-five, both her body and mind had reached full maturity, a charm not even the fifteen-year-old Yan Qingying could rival.

There was no doubt about Lan Se’s beauty, or else Xin Yun of the previous life wouldn’t have been head over heels for her, utterly spellbound.

Feeling the familiar embrace, inhaling the unmistakably familiar scent of sweat, Xin Yun, for a moment, felt transported back to his past life. Instinctively, his left hand encircled Lan Se’s slender waist, while his right hand gently stroked her back, each motion carefully aligning with what Lan Se loved and found most intoxicating in the previous life.

Lan Se was a peculiar woman who did not fancy sex; for her, the most wonderful thing was an embrace, especially one where one hand gently held the waist and the other softly caressed the back—an embrace that made her utterly enraptured.

Those who hadn’t experienced an embrace could never understand how delightful it could be. It was truly an elevation of the soul, a dual pleasure for spirit and body, imbued with serene beauty, sending one into deep, irrevocable intoxication.

At first, Lan Se was incredibly excited and bubbly, but as Xin Yun’s embrace and caresses continued, she involuntarily squinted her eyes, feeling an unparalleled comfort and ease, as if her soul took flight, a floating sensation that drew her in deeply, wishing time could stop and keep everything preserved in this moment.

They hugged each other deeply, and for some time, both stood still under the bright moonlight, eyes gently closed, enjoying the convergence of spirit and flesh, forgetting all else around them.

"Pitter-patter...pitter-patter..." After an indeterminate length of time... finally, the clear sound of footsteps on the distant stone path woke the entwined couple.

"Yah!" With the footsteps, Lan Se finally snapped back to reality. She looked, finding herself clutching Xin Yun’s head to her chest, as he indulged in nuzzling against her bosom, greedily inhaling her scent. Meanwhile, that scoundrel’s hands—one wrapped around her slender waist, the other gently stroking her fragrant back—brought waves of soul-melting pleasure that nearly made her moan.
