The First Layer of the Nine Cauldrons Technique: Perfectly Replicate Your Dao Companion's Skills

【Ding!】

【A masterful move—your effortless charm soothes your partner’s nerves, leaving them utterly enchanted!】

【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】

A tender collision, a lingering embrace.

Between Ying’er’s bright eyes and pearly teeth, the tension of self-defense slowly melted away.

Lin Yu could feel it clearly—the girl in his arms was gradually relaxing.

The timid, hesitant version of her faded into the background.

In a seamless shift, the cunning little hacker returned to her true self.

Ying’er braced her hands on Lin Yu’s shoulders, sitting coiled around him.

Then, after a slow, breathy pause, she straightened up and locked eyes with him.

“Xiao Yu, just how many people have you kissed before?”

“You’re so smooth… it’s like second nature!”

Hearing this, Lin Yu knew Ying’er had shaken off her nervousness.

“I’m used to you calling me ‘Master,’ but ‘Xiao Yu’…”

“I’m about to be your first teacher, you know!”

“Honestly, it’s kind of pissing me off…”

Mo Shangying draped her arms around Lin Yu’s neck, her sharp little fangs gleaming.

“Fine, I’ll drop both ‘Master’ and ‘Xiao Yu’!”

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Then what will you call me?”

Mo Shangying smirked. “I’ll just call you—”

It took Lin Yu a few seconds to process. “!!!”

Damn, she really meant both!

This time, Lin Yu wasn’t about to let Mo Shangying stall with another “wait.”

Like a tiger poised to strike, he pounced again.

And with it, the flurry of pink floral fabric was swept aside.

“Should we close the curtains first, Master?”

“Xiao Yu, it’s too bright… I’m not used to this!”

“It feels… like I’m not in my safe zone anymore!”

“Master? Wait—”

Smack!

Of course.

An inexperienced girl was always the trickiest.

Just as things were heating up, she’d come up with some bizarre distraction,

trying to ruin the perfectly set mood.

Lin Yu had already been drinking.

And he’d taken those pills!

The fact that he’d held back this long, waiting for Mo Shangying to settle in,

proved he had ironclad self-control.

But now she wanted to interrupt again?

Curtains?

This was a private third-floor unit facing a park.

Who the hell was gonna see them?

Faced with Ying’er’s endless demands,

Lin Yu’s [Reverse Dao Physique] flared up instantly.

A crisp smack landed on the smooth curve of her back.

The mattress beneath them trembled like a beached dolphin,

quivering before settling into gentle waves.

The sight was too much—Lin Yu couldn’t resist.

He delivered two more swats.

“Master, okay, okay… we don’t have to close the curtains… please?”

Back in Lin Yu’s room that night, when her ambush failed and he’d disciplined her instead,

Mo Shangying, ever the bold theorist and experimenter,

had scoured the internet for every piece of intel she could find.

Finally, she’d figured out exactly what made her body tick.

The written descriptions matched her own experience in Lin Yu’s bed perfectly,

confirming just how exceptional her constitution really was.

She’d planned to test it again today—quick in, quick out—

to see if reality lived up to those breathless, trembling accounts.

But before she could even get her bearings,

Lin Yu’s overwhelming presence loomed over her, his hand descending like a tidal wave.

There was no way he didn’t know about her [Reverse Dao Physique].

He had to be doing this on purpose—

Smack! Thwack! Whap! Squish!

As her dazed eyes refocused,

the sight by the bedside froze her in shock.

Lin Yu, who’d always seemed lean and bookish in clothes,

now stood bathed in dim golden light,

every muscle etched in stark relief—

biceps, obliques, transverse abdominis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, soleus…

Each contour looked like it had been drawn with a master’s hand.

And then there was that…

The thing that made Mo Shangying’s entire body shudder.

During a game night, she’d tried exploring under the blanket once.

But tactile sensation was nothing compared to the visual.

Not even close.

【Ding!】

【A masterful move—your flawless cultivation physique leaves your partner aching with desire!】

【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】

“Master, why does it feel like you’re on fire?”

“Heh, I’ve never seen this in any tutorial vids.”

“Is this your special ability? Skin… bleeding?”

Lin Yu hadn’t noticed until now.

But Ying’er was right—his skin had turned a deep, feverish red.

He’d thrown in too many “enhancements” at once.

No way to tell which one was causing this.

“You wouldn’t get it. My hidden tattoo—inked with pigeon’s blood—is about to reveal itself.”

“Scared yet, you little rebel?”

As he spoke, Lin Yu leaned down,

closing the distance as Mo Shangying slowly sank into the sheets.

“Heh, so you’re a gangster now, Lin Lao Da?”

"Careful... don’t let me break you!"

Mo Shangying hooked her arms around Lin Yu’s neck and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

Lin Yu seized the moment, launching a flurry of eager advances.

The puffy bubble sleeves slipped effortlessly off her shoulders,

draped carelessly over the lampshade, adding another layer of hazy ambiance to the evening-lit room.

The delicate pink floral dress didn’t fare much better,

twisted around her waist, becoming a silent witness to the pivotal moment.

[Ding!]

The moment their energies merged,

the system’s notifications rang directly in Lin Yu’s mind.

"Haah…"

The tension made him exhale sharply.

Finally, it was done!

Meanwhile, Mo Shangying clenched her eyes shut, brows furrowed as she muttered,

"I really don’t get it!"

"Is this… is this the pain everyone chases after?"

"It hurts so much!"

Lin Yu whispered by her ear,

"Soon, you’ll understand what everyone truly seeks."

"......"
