Chapter 39: Li Jian’s Intention

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Li Jian’s Intention

Of course, what he said was complete bullshit.

Helping this woman without any return? Only an idiot would do that.

Li Jian’s true goals were two things.

First, push Su Qin into Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Once she broke through, she would no longer be just another outer disciple.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator... even a newly advanced one was already a reliable backer in the outer sect.

With the massive Favor Debt she still owed him, having such a person tied to him would make many future matters much easier.

Second... he wanted to test something and confirm something.

The system could force requests.

It could make the target accept even outrageous demands as natural and proper.

But what if, instead of only relying on forced requests, he slowly guided the other party into accepting more on their own? What if kindness, benefits, and the promise of strength could reduce resistance even further?

Su Qin was the perfect test subject.

And he already had some results from the cave.

With this, he would be able to confirm the details and limits even more.

She already owed him over five thousand points and she had already served him repeatedly.

Now she was his dual cultivation partner for a month.

If he mixed real benefits into the arrangement... the Heaven-grade technique, the path to Foundation Establishment... he could observe how much her attitude changed over time.

Would she remain only reluctantly obedient under the system?

Or would she slowly accept more without him needing to spend points every single time?

That answer was worth far more than a few immediate demands.

Li Jian’s hand was still on her full breast, the soft flesh warm against his palm.

He gave it one last squeeze before finally letting go and guiding her to sit properly on the bed.

"Then let’s begin," he said calmly.

Su Qin pulled her thin inner garment higher with a stiff expression, though it still clung tightly to her voluptuous figure.

Li Jian did not rush her.

Instead, he calmly began removing his own outer robes.

The simple fabric slid off his shoulders and was set aside without any unnecessary movement.

His inner clothes followed after, leaving his upper body bare under the lamp light.

Su Qin’s expression turned strangely awkward.

She had already seen him naked more than once during the journey.

She had taken his little brother into her mouth many times.

She had even sat in the Golden Marrow Tempering Pool with him while he openly groped her.

By all logic, there should have been nothing left to feel awkward about.

And yet...

Watching him undress right in front of her, inside his own residence, with the clear purpose of dual cultivation, felt different.

Her gaze unintentionally followed the lines of his body.

After the tempering pool, his frame still looked lean rather than strong, but there was a faint solidness to it now that had not been there before.

When his hands moved down to loosen the remaining sash at his waist, Su Qin’s ears turned slightly redder and she quickly shifted her eyes away.

After removing all of his clothes and becoming completely naked once again, Li Jian looked at the voluptuous beauty sitting across from him in nothing but a thin, clinging inner garment, her face flushed and her posture tense, and smiled faintly.

"Relax, Senior Sister."

Then he reached out.

Before Su Qin could react, he pushed her down onto the bed.

Her back sank into the simple mattress, and her full breasts shifted heavily under the thin fabric from the sudden movement.

In the next moment, Li Jian leaned over her and pressed his lips against hers.

Su Qin’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Mmph—!"

Her hands immediately came up against his chest, ready to push him away.

The kiss was sudden, direct, and far more intimate than the previous times he had only touched her body or used her mouth.

For a brief second, real resistance flared in her body.

Then she noticed his faint frown from up close.

Her movements paused.

The words he had spoken earlier surfaced in her mind again.

A muffled, unwilling sound escaped from her throat.

Even so, under the weight of the request, the promise of Foundation Establishment, and the words she had just remembered, she did not push him off.

Su Qin’s hands remained against his chest, but the force behind them weakened.

Her brows furrowed tightly as Li Jian continued kissing her, one of his hands sliding down to her waist while the other braced against the bed beside her head.

"Mhmm... Slurp... Mhmm..."

Li Jian deepened the kiss slightly, his hand moving up from her waist to cup one of her full breasts through the thin cloth, squeezing the soft flesh as he continued pressing her down into the bed.

Only after a while did he pull back just enough to look at her flushed face and slightly dazed eyes.

"Senior Sister Su," he said in a low voice, "...you are so beautiful."

Su Qin bit her lip as her cheeks flushed deeper.

She turned her face away, unable to meet his gaze directly.

The sudden praise caught her off guard far more than his hands or his kiss had.

Mockery, demands, and shameless touching she could still respond to with anger or coldness.

But being called beautiful in that calm, serious tone left her strangely exposed.

"...Don’t say strange things," she muttered.

Li Jian did not force her to look at him.

Instead, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against the side of her neck, while his hand continued to knead her full breast through the thin inner garment.

The soft, heavy flesh filled his palm completely, and each slow squeeze made her body shift slightly beneath him.

"Uhh... Haa... Haaa..."

Su Qin’s breathing grew uneven.

Li Jian’s other hand slid down and caught the hem of her thin inner garment.

With a steady pull, he began lifting it upward.

Su Qin’s body tensed at once.
