Chapter 466: Chapter 465: The Annoying Slippers

"What!" Lin Tian exclaimed.

Damn it, I almost destroyed a future master of the Innate Sword Dao. Lin Tian was truly shocked in his heart.

The situation just now, alone with a woman at midnight, it was so easy for things to get out of hand. Once they both fell into temptation, a master of the Innate Sword Dao could have been ruined just like that. It would have been a grievous sin.

Heart as clear as ice, the sky could collapse without distress, all changes remain certain, the spirit calm and breath serene... Lin Tian couldn’t help but recite the Ice Clearing Technique from a TV drama in his mind, trying to suppress the wicked fire inside.

Whether it was useful or not, whether he could truly have a heart as clear as ice, at least he could divert his attention, right? Lin Tian comforted himself with this thought.

Whether it was the effect of the Ice Heart Technique or his own powerful spiritual power, Lin Tian felt the wicked fire within him seem to subside after reciting these lines.

Seeing Lin Tian with a surprised and complex expression, Xiao Manxue worried he didn’t understand and explained again in a soft voice, "Master warned me, I must not lose my virginity before advancing to the Innate Realm."

"Oh, I see. I didn’t mean to do anything, we just couldn’t help but kiss," Lin Tian said, pretending to be casual.

Such straightforward words made Xiao Manxue feel a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, and she huffed, "Humph, that was my first kiss..."

"That was my first kiss too," Lin Tian said, seriously.

"You’re such a complete jerk, who would believe what you say. Humph, I’m leaving," huffed Xiao Manxue. She tried to put on her usual cold expression, but the corners of her mouth betrayed a subtle smile that was hard to notice.

She lifted her head and puffed out her chest, walking towards the door. Passing by Lin Tian, she pretended not to look at him, not even glancing his way, but her heart was thumping wildly inside.

"Will this bastard pounce on me again? If he does, what should I do?" Xiao Manxue was calm on the surface, but inside she was making all sorts of assumptions and thinking about how she should respond.

Yet, nothing happened until she reached the door. Lin Tian was still standing in the same spot, smiling at her.

She felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, then felt troubled for even having such thoughts.

"Lin Tian, do you think I’m a bad woman for shamelessly seducing you?" Xiao Manxue asked without turning her head, her heart filled with trepidation.

"Ah..." Lin Tian was taken aback by her sudden thought. The little girl’s train of thought was jumping too quickly.

But he could understand. It was normal to feel a bit lost after being so intimate with a man for the first time. Despite her usual capable and astute CEO demeanor, she was a blank slate when it came to matters of the heart.

Lin Tian said earnestly, "No, I was the one who seduced you. I’m the bad man, not you. You’ll always be perfect in my eyes."

This had to be made clear, otherwise leaving a psychological shadow on the little girl wouldn’t be good. Anyway, as a man, sullying his own name a bit was no big deal, such magnanimity was necessary, Lin Tian thought.

With her back to Lin Tian, Xiao Manxue heard his words and her mouth curved into a joyous smile. However, she quickly composed herself again and deliberately huffed, "Humph, you think you’re some peerless handsome man? Who would be seduced by you? You’re just a bad guy."

The word "bad guy" was so satisfying to Lin Tian’s heart that when the Miss threw a tantrum, it was enough to make any man lose his head over her. As for her weak defense on his behalf, Lin Tian automatically ignored it.

"Fine, I am a peerless bad man," Lin Tian said with a smile, but inside he was thinking, if a man isn’t bad, a woman won’t love him.

Xiao Manxue didn’t respond to his words and started to walk out, but just as she reached the door, she stopped. Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, could it be that the little girl was willing to stay and warm the bed?

I mean, even if we can’t do the deed, it’s okay for us to be upfront with each other and explore each other’s anatomy a bit, right? Maybe in doing so, I might even level up in the Ancient Martial Realm—who knows? Lin Tian thought rather wickedly.

"Lin Tian, let’s pretend nothing happened tonight, okay? Let’s continue just like before and never bring this up with anyone else." Xiao Manxue turned around and spoke without any expression, leaving Lin Tian unable to guess what she was really thinking.

Since the beauty had spoken, Lin Tian wasn’t one to blab, of course he wouldn’t say anything. Whatever she wished.

"Alright, if the CEO says so, then it’s as if nothing happened," Lin Tian replied very honestly.

To his surprise, this caused Xiao Manxue’s face to turn sour and anger flashed in her eyes. Annoyed, she said, "You... you jerk, to just forget it like that, I... I..."

But she didn’t seem to know what to say next and, in a huff, she bent down, took off a slipper, threw it at Lin Tian’s face with all her might, then flicked her long hair and stormed off. Lin Tian skillfully caught the incoming slipper.

Looking at the cute pink slipper in his hand, he had a helpless expression on his face. It was clearly you, little girl, who wanted to act like nothing happened, but then you got mad when I complied. Women really were as unpredictable as a needle at the bottom of the sea, thought Lin Tian, rhetorically asking the heavens.

Unable to figure out the Miss’s thoughts, and whether she was actually pleased or truly angry, Lin Tian felt that understanding women was even more difficult than Acupuncture Skill, so he just went to bed.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Lin Tian slept so soundly until the "bang bang bang" of knocking woke him up. Opening his eyes, he realized that the night had passed, and it was already bright outside.

As usual, he was woken by Xiao Manxuan to get ready for school. Lin Tian got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. Looking at the handsome face in the mirror, the sweetness on his lips seemed to still linger, prompting him to stick out his tongue and give it a lick, then immediately mock his own actions.

However, that first kiss last night, though brief, was destined to become a sweet memory to be cherished. The chance to kiss the Miss’s fragrance again would likely be as hard as reaching the heavens, thought Lin Tian, leaving with a sense of regret.

Before leaving his room, he glanced at the pink slipper under the bed and picked it up.

When he got to the first-floor hall, he found only Xiao Manxuan; the Miss and her master, Song Yanan, were nowhere to be seen.

"Second Miss, where are the Miss and Sister Song? They left this early?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"Tianxue Jewelry is preparing for the opening this weekend. My sister and Sister Song have already gone to start their work; they’ve moved all the jade from the basement and told me to let you know," Xiao Manxuan glanced at him and said.

Lin Tian gave an understanding "oh," considering the weekend opening ceremony was indeed just around the corner and things were getting busier.

He casually placed the slipper on the floor so that the Miss could see it and take it herself. It was somewhat odd for a man to keep a woman’s slipper, and people might think he had a fetish if they didn’t know the story.

"You jerk, why are you holding my slipper? Don’t tell me... you sneaked into my room last night?" Upon seeing the pink slipper, Xiao Manxuan suddenly asked shyly.
