Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 265 Want to give it a try?

Lin Chen stared at Mei Jiu Niang with a completely bewildered expression.

How could she, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, have the audacity to ask such a question?

However, I remembered that this woman had mentioned people imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​the Hehuan Sect.

Lin Chen swallowed the words that were about to come out and said in a serious tone:

"I didn't think that way; I just simply didn't want anything to happen between us."

Mei Jiu Niang raised an eyebrow slightly: "Why?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"First, you are over three hundred years old and have a wealth of experience, while I am a bit of a germaphobe."

Mei Jiu Niang's lips twitched.

"Secondly, I don't trust the cultivation techniques of your Hehuan Sect. Who knows if you're also draining my energy while you're doing 'that' with me?"

Mei Jiu Niang rolled her eyes.

"Third," Lin Chen said earnestly, looking at Mei Jiu Niang.

"I have eleven wives in my family, eight of whom are pregnant, and I have a responsibility to them."

Mei Jiu Niang remained silent for a while.

Then he laughed.

This smile is different from the ones before.

It's a little bittersweet, a little resigned, and a little...appreciative.

"Okay," she nodded, "I understand."

She stood up, walked to the grape trellis, and turned her back to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, I'm going back to Zhongzhou."

Lin Chen was taken aback: "So fast?"

Mei Jiu Niang glanced back at Lin Chen and smiled.

"I'm not in a hurry anymore. It's been over a month since I came out, and there's a ton of stuff waiting for me to deal with at the Hehuan Sect."

Lin Chen nodded without saying anything.

Mei Jiu Niang walked back, stopped in front of Lin Chen, and said with a serious expression:

"I'm leaving those girls, Yao Yao, in your care. Take good care of them."

Lin Chen nodded: "Don't worry."

Mei Jiu Niang looked at Lin Chen and suddenly reached out to touch Lin Chen's face.

Lin Chen didn't dodge, and his expression didn't even change.

"That's right." Mei Jiu Niang's eyes crinkled with laughter. "I'm not going to eat you."

She said she wouldn't eat you, but her eyes were clearly sizing you up as a dish.

Lin Chen felt his throat was a little dry.

He discovered that once this woman stopped acting seductive and became serious, she was even more deadly.

"Sect Leader Mei." Lin Chen reached out and grabbed Mei Jiu Niang's wrist.

Mei Jiu Niang raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"If you keep touching me," Lin Chen said, removing her hand, "I might not want to leave."

Mei Jiu Niang laughed out loud.

This smile is different from the ones before.

It wasn't that kind of flamboyant, unrestrained laughter.

It's just a simple, heartfelt laugh.

"Lin Chen, oh Lin Chen," Mei Jiu Niang withdrew her hand, took a step back, and looked Lin Chen up and down.

"Aren't you funny?"

Lin Chen chuckled twice, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"This is boring!" Mei Jiu Niang sat back down on the stone bench.

This time she sat more casually than before, one leg crossed over the other, her skirt sliding open to reveal half of her fair calves.

"You can leave now. I'll pack up and get out of here tomorrow."

Lin Chen remained seated.

"What's wrong?" Mei Jiu Niang asked with a smile, "Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"A little."

Mei Jiu Niang was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect Lin Chen to say that.

Lin Chen also realized that he had spoken out of turn.

But the words were already out, and there was no going back, so he simply said it bluntly:

"Although I cannot cultivate the Great Dao with you, the thought of such a beauty as you leaving truly fills me with a sense of reluctance!"

Mei Jiu Niang looked at Lin Chen, her expression changing.

Lin Chen had seen that look before; the women in his family had looked at him with that same look before he took them in.

Danger!

Lin Chen stood up and took a step back.

Mei Jiu Niang laughed: "Why are you retreating?"

"Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse of sky and sea."

"Then why don't you take two steps back?"

"If we back up any further, we'll crash into the door."

Mei Jiu Niang stood up.

As she stood up, her skirt swayed slightly, and that section of her leg retracted.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

But he breathed a sigh of relief too soon.

Mei Jiu Niang appeared in front of him in an instant.

This time the distance is much closer than before.

Lin Chen could smell the fragrance on her body.

"Lin Chen." Mei Jiu Niang looked up at Lin Chen and said, word by word:

"I will refute each of the three points you just mentioned, one by one."

Lin Chen: "...What?"

"First," she said, holding up one finger.

"I am over three hundred years old, that's true, but my body is more tender than all your wives combined. If you don't believe me, touch it."

Lin Chen: "I won't touch it."

Mei Jiu Niang ignored Lin Chen and continued to raise her second finger:

"Secondly, it's true that the Hehuan Sect's cultivation method involves absorbing and replenishing energy, but this doesn't necessarily mean engaging in sexual activity. I'm also very selective when it comes to men."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed the thought in his mind.

"Third," Mei Jiu Niang said, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she raised her third finger.

"You have eleven wives in your household, eight of whom are pregnant—aren't you ashamed to say that? When have you ever stopped talking about it?"

Lin Chen choked.

Mei Jiu Niang leaned forward, lowering her voice: "I just want to ask you one question—"

She paused.

Lin Chen's Adam's apple bobbed.

"How did it feel when you hit me just now?" Mei Jiu Niang's eyes flashed with slyness.

Lin Chen: "..."

What the hell is this problem?

"Tell the truth." Mei Jiu Niang stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen wanted to say it wasn't very good.

But his mouth spoke faster than his brain: "It's quite bouncy."

He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.

Mei Jiu Niang smiled.

This time, the smile was slow, spreading gradually from the corners of the mouth until the whole face was glowing.

"That's enough," she said, taking a step back.

Lin Chen was stunned: "What do you mean, 'enough'?"

Mei Jiu Niang didn't answer, and turned to walk towards the grape trellis.

After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly turned back: "Do you know why I had to explain so much to you?"

Lin Chen shook his head.

Mei Jiu Niang smiled and said, "Because I'm bored."

Lin Chen: "..."

Mei Jiu Niang came back again.

This time she didn't get too close, but stood a step away, arms crossed, tilting her head to look at Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, you're a rather strange person."

Lin Chen: "What's strange about it?"

"My first impression of you was that you were just an ordinary man, lecherous and pretentious," Mei Jiu Niang said.

"Later I found out you weren't just pretending to be serious, you really can fucking endure anything."

Lin Chen coughed lightly: "You flatter me."

"I wasn't praising you." Mei Jiu Niang rolled her eyes.

"Being able to tolerate things is a good thing, but sometimes it's a bad thing. Do you know what kind of men women find most annoying?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Someone like me?"

Mei Jiu Niang laughed out loud: "Yes, someone like you."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "They clearly have thoughts in their hearts, but they just keep them to themselves."

You think you're respecting them, but you're actually torturing them.

Lin Chen fell silent.

That... seems to make some sense?

"Do you know why those girls like Yao Yao fell for you so quickly?" Mei Jiu Niang asked.

"It's not because you're so good to them, it's because you could have slept with them, but you just didn't."

They're itching with desire; the more they itch, the more they miss you, and the more they miss you, the more they think you're wonderful.

Lin Chen: "...Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"I'm praising you," Mei Jiu Niang said earnestly. "I really am praising you."

She took a step forward and touched Lin Chen's chest.

"Lin Chen, remember this: there aren't many men in this world who can control their belts, and you're one of them."

Lin Chen's lips twitched as he noticed that Mei Jiu Niang's face suddenly looked somewhat unfamiliar.

It wasn't the kind of alluring charm, nor the kind of feigned aloofness, but something... indescribable.

"Sect Master Mei," Lin Chen said.

"Um?"

"Is something on your mind?"

Mei Jiu Niang paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Yes, but I don't want to tell you."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, I won't ask."

Mei Jiu Niang looked at Lin Chen and suddenly sighed.

"Lin Chen, what do you think would happen if we had known each other three hundred years earlier?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "If we had known each other three hundred years ago, I wouldn't have even been born yet."

Mei Jiu Niang laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

After she finished laughing, she waved her hand:

"Alright, alright, you can go now. If we keep talking, I'm afraid I might really lose control and do it to you."

Lin Chen didn't move.

Mei Jiu Niang raised an eyebrow: "What? Want to try?"

Lin Chen looked at Mei Jiu Niang.

Sunshine, grape trellis, wind, fragrance.

The atmosphere is perfect.

He took a step forward.

Mei Jiu Niang's eyes lit up.
