Chapter 2242: Chapter 2239: Spatial Ring

Miss and Lin Tian stared wide-eyed at each other, both shy and annoyed, her whole face flushing scarlet.

"Turn around!" Heaven knew how much resolve it took her to say that.

Lin Tian found it funny inside, and very straightforwardly turned his back. Only then did Miss let out a small breath of relief and reach for her belt.

The rustling sound of undressing rang out, growing clearer in his ears. An image popped up uncontrollably in Lin Tian’s mind, and that scene almost made him spray a nosebleed.

"Okay." Miss’s voice sounded, carrying a slight tremor.

Lin Tian turned back around, and his eyes instantly went wide. Miss’s ice-silk dress was gone; she wore only a thin single layer, which covered only the crucial parts, while those majestic peaks were almost bursting out.

The garment was black-gold in color, gleaming with a metallic sheen, making Miss’s skin look even fairer and more tender.

Black Gold? Lin Tian’s heart moved. So this was the Black Gold Silk Inner Armor, yet it had none of the heaviness he’d imagined—on the contrary, it felt light, and the style had a certain charm. It was much prettier than those bellybands or lingerie; he had to admit, whoever designed this Black Gold Silk "underwear" had great taste.

Seeing Lin Tian staring at her, his eyes not even blinking, Miss’s pretty face flushed completely, her cheeks burning.

"You big perv, what are you staring at? Hurry up and start!" Miss said, shy and annoyed.

"Ahem... lie down." Lin Tian faked two coughs, steadying his mind. There was no helping it—her allure right now could make him commit a crime in minutes.

Miss glared at him once, then lay down as told. Lin Tian couldn’t help swallowing again at the sight. From any angle she was a mountain range of curves; Miss’s figure was ridiculously good—exquisitely contoured, perfect lines.

Lin Tian closed his eyes slightly and held himself still for a full ten breaths before barely pressing down the "criminal" thoughts. Seeing him struggle so hard to steady himself, Miss felt a faint warmth in her heart, even as some strange thoughts surfaced—making this bastard so flustered wasn’t easy.

Women probably all care about their looks and figures, especially about what their beloved thinks. Seeing Lin Tian react like this, Miss knew she could still attract him.

Lin Tian unfastened the golden thread and began to apply the needles to her. Faced with such fair, delicate skin, he seemed extra careful as he inserted the needles, afraid of leaving any mark on that perfect canvas.

Of course, with Lin Tian’s current level in the Nine Needle Technique, it was impossible to cause scars.

The Golden Needles drove blood and True Qi into motion. The pearl energy hidden deep within her body was released once more, merging into Miss’s True Qi, repairing and nourishing her meridians, muscles and tissues, internal organs, and all her limbs and bones.

Miss had been feeling somewhat weak, but now she only felt an endless surge of strength rising in her body, wiping out that sense of weakness completely.

She knew this was the energy of the deep-sea pearl, and only now did she truly understand what kind of supreme treasure Lin Tian had given her. This deep-sea pearl not only helped her break through to Innate, now it could heal her injuries and even boost her strength.

A treasure like this, if placed in the Ancient Martial World, would absolutely ignite conflict—on the level of entire clans fighting over it. A treasure that can raise strength, break bottlenecks, and comes with no side effects—who wouldn’t want it?

"Draw in your Divine Sense, gather Qi in the Dantian, and run it through the Zhou Tian." Lin Tian intoned softly. Miss, perfectly attuned to him, focused her True Qi and began circulating it through the Zhou Tian.

With his super perspective activated, Lin Tian could see her True Qi’s flow, running straight through forty-nine cycles of Grand Circulation. Only then did the True Qi return to the Dantian, and her aura settled down.

Those injured meridians and organs were already fully restored, and even stronger than before. That was the power of the deep-sea pearl—having absorbed the Spiritual Energy of heaven, earth, and the vast ocean, it brimmed with the breath of life.

"All done. Damage repaired, strength up another level." Lin Tian said with a smile, genuinely happy for Miss.

Miss gracefully sat up and picked up her dress with slender fingers, slipping it back on. In an instant she shifted from sultry and sexy to beautiful and dignified.

She solemnly gave Lin Tian a formal bow and said seriously, "Lin Tian, thank you, really. Without you, I wouldn’t have what I’ve achieved today."

Lin Tian hated seeing Miss act all proper like that; he preferred the proud CEO version of her—much easier on the eyes.

"Ahem, if Miss feels you owe me too much, you could always repay me with your body." Lin Tian deliberately teased.

He’d expected her to blow up, but instead Miss just stared straight at him, then slowly walked over, lifted her slender hand, and rested it on his shoulder.

With such seductive eyes and such intimate movements, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit excited. Could it be she’d really figured things out?

Seeing his face full of expectation, Miss suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said in a mock-angry tone, "In your dreams."

It was a bit disappointing, but somehow not that surprising—that was the proud Miss, after all.

Still, Lin Tian wasn’t about to show weakness. He leaned in and gently blew a breath by her ear, saying with a grin, "I’ve always dreamed that good."

Her sensitive spot was ambushed, and Miss shuddered. All the momentum she’d just built up scattered in an instant.

Lin Tian stepped back three paces, opening up some distance, and for no reason Miss felt a faint sense of loss.

"Time’s about up; we should go rendezvous." Lin Tian said with a slight smile.

"Then... let’s go." Miss seemed a little less than sincere as she walked out.

As Miss stepped out of the room, Lin Tian glanced at the black iron ring on his hand, feeling rather conflicted.

Just now, Miss’s face had been flushed like peach blossoms, her red lips so alluring, and the two of them had been so close that Lin Tian had almost kissed those fragrant lips. But at the critical moment, the black iron ring suddenly vibrated once.

That single tremor made him miss the perfect chance. Turns out having too much stability isn’t always a good thing. Lin Tian’s mood was a tangled mess.

He activated his super perspective, trying to split off a portion of his Divine Sense to probe the black iron ring, and discovered that the ring had undergone a subtle change. On the originally simple, unadorned band, fine lines had appeared.

These lines crisscrossed, forming strange patterns—it seemed like a rune, and also like a Formation—but Lin Tian was almost completely clueless about Daoist arts, so he couldn’t make sense of it.

Just as he was puzzling over it, those lines flashed with a faint red light. The portion of Divine Sense he’d split off turned hazy for a moment, and then arrived in a room.

Familiar light, familiar room—Lin Tian’s heart leaped with excitement. This was that strange space, and not far from him were that unfinished scroll and the half-dead tree branch.

This time it wasn’t a dream, nor an illusion. Lin Tian finally confirmed that his consciousness had entered some kind of space—and that space was inside the black iron ring.

The black iron ring really was a Space Ring! Lin Tian grew even more excited, almost crying out loud.

But joy turned to mishap. In his excitement, Lin Tian’s foot caught on the threshold, and his whole body pitched forward.

Miss was right in front of him. Hearing the commotion behind her, she turned around, only to watch, eyes wide, as Lin Tian lunged straight onto her, just like a big pervert.
