Chapter 287: Chapter 287: The Gift
Who doesn't like a sexy Angel? Unfortunately for Lin Shen, from beginning to end, all he saw was a blur of mosaic, completely missing out on the allure.
Tian Xun was unaware that the effort she put into dressing up and what she thought was a seductive pose, which indeed was quite seductive, couldn't be seen by Lin Shen at all.
The two of them lay side by side on the bed, with Tian Xun embracing Lin Shen from behind, her wings also wrapping around his body.
Although Lin Shen couldn't see Tian Xun's appearance, the soft and bouncy sensation from his back was very real, and it still made his heart race and his mind wander.
"After the mosaic on Bai Shenfei vanished and she turned out to be so beautiful, now Tian Xun has the mosaic. Could it be that Fire Seed specifically possesses beauties? I wonder what Tian Xun actually looks like? Who would be more beautiful compared to Bai Shenfei?" Lin Shen couldn't help fantasizing about his ideal woman, and the more he thought about it, the hotter he felt.
"What's something that lovers should do?" Lin Shen's throat felt dry, and his voice turned somewhat hoarse.
"What do you think is something that lovers should do?" Tian Xun teased Lin Shen's fingers with hers, making her voice sound so sultry that it seemed to melt bones.
"It couldn't be that, could it?" Lin Shen licked his lips, feeling drier by the second.
"Which that?" Tian Xun asked nonchalantly while still playing with Lin Shen's fingers.
"The one you're thinking of." Lin Shen remained with his back to Tian Xun, showing no intention of turning around.
He quite liked this feeling. If he turned around and saw a blur of mosaic, it would surely quench all his desires.
"You're not a good person, huh? How can you think of such naughty things." Tian Xun's hands glided across Lin Shen's chest, her fingers tracing along his chest muscles, slowly sliding over them.
Lin Shen closed his eyes, not because he couldn't bear the stimulation but because he didn't want to see the mosaic touching him randomly.
"What's a naughty thing?" Lin Shen asked with his eyes closed.
"Naughty things are naturally bad things," Tian Xun whispered into Lin Shen's ear, her breath tickling his heart.
"How bad?"
"It all depends on how bad your heart is."
Lin Shen felt a terrible itch in his ear and his heart began to sway uncontrollably; he instinctively turned to look at Tian Xun.
But when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a blur of mosaic, which felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
"Do you really plan to just keep looking at me without doing something naughty?" Tian Xun blinked and said.
Faced with a blur of mosaic, Lin Shen found it hard to harbor any extraneous thoughts, so he turned back around and laid down again, speaking to Tian Xun with his back to her, "If possible, I wish you could hold me like this and we could sleep together—I really like this feeling of being embraced."
"Is that all you want me to do, just hold you?" Tian Xun couldn't help but frown slightly.
She didn't come here just to hold Lin Shen while sleeping, but Lin Shen's suggestion was exactly what she desired.
"Alright, then I'll just hold you like this, and we can chat." Tian Xun paused and then continued, "What was the skill called that you used to kill Cosimo?"
"Sacrifice to Heaven. I can't normally use it; it requires special circumstances to trigger," Lin Shen replied, half truthfully, half deceptively.
"What kind of special circumstances?" Tian Xun asked again.
"I can't really reveal that. Just know it's generally unusable and might not even be available when I'm desperate. It's pretty much the same as not having it at all." Lin Shen naturally couldn't tell Tian Xun that the more people who died around him, the stronger his skill became.
Letting others know about Lin Shen's situation, who would dare to be his teammate then?
"Then Cosimo was really unlucky. Your Sacrifice to Heaven skill has so many restrictions, and it's almost useless, yet it just happened to be triggered by him," Tian Xun obviously didn't believe the nonsense Lin Shen was saying.
"Ahem, he was indeed quite unlucky." Lin Shen wanted to change the subject when he suddenly noticed an oil lamp on the table, the source of the light in the room.
"That's not a normal lamp, is it? Why can it illuminate the darkness?" Lin Shen asked.
"That's not a lamp at all, but a Spirit Base, the Life Base of a Tenth Turn Ascended Lamp Bearer. His Life Base has some influence on the darkness, so I'm using it as a light. Without this treasure, it'd be quite inconvenient to go out at night," said Tian Xun.
Tian Xun paused and continued, "The nights on Giant Ring Star are indeed a bit eerie. Inside the Giant Ring Star, devices like electric lights can still function most of the time, but inside the ring, most light sources are useless. Only special light sources like this Lamp of Life and Death can illuminate the darkness of the ring."
"There was a red light bird I saw last night. What kind of creature is that?" Lin Shen asked further.
"I don't know; it only appears occasionally in the darkness of the ring. No one has seen it during the day. However, some say that the red light bird is the true master of this ring." After speaking, Tian Xun didn't know where he had pulled out a box and presented it to Lin Shen: "This gift is for you. Open it and see if you like it."
"What?" Holding the box, Lin Shen could feel its weight.
"You'll know when you open it," Tian Xun replied, keeping Lin Shen in suspense.
Lin Shen had no choice but to sit up and open the box, inside he found a pet egg that resembled a white crystal.
"This is... an Ascension Egg..." Lin Shen examined it closely and easily determined it was an Ascension Egg, but he was unsure of its level and quality.
"This one is the Mutated Ascension Egg I mentioned earlier that I wanted to give you. It comes from a variant Avenging Angel. Using it for Ascension, there is a high chance of gaining the Angel Rebirth talent for your Life Base." Tian Xun wrapped his arms around Lin Shen's waist from behind and, with his cheek against Lin Shen's face, said with a smiling tone.
"This Ascension Egg is very good, but I had already settled on an Ascension Egg before…" Lin Shen thought Tian Xun was persuading him to use this egg for Ascension and declined once again.
"I'm giving this to you, whether you use it or how you use it, that's all up to you. If you really don't need it, maybe someone close to you will? Hasn't your big sister not Ascended yet?" Tian Xun spoke gently.
Lin Shen was so moved he was nearly dropping 'little pearls'; he had just become her lover and before any labor on his part, she'd given such a precious gift and even thought of his big sister. Where else could he find such an attentive lover?
Angel Rebirth was indeed a very powerful Life Base ability, and it wouldn't be a bad choice for his big sister to use it for Ascension.
"By the way, here are the Stubborn Lone Will Gauntlets back to you." Lin Shen felt guilty for taking too much from Tian Xun; it weighed on his conscience.
"How could I take back something I've given you? It's already yours," Tian Xun said, and then surprisingly pulled out another box from behind and placed it in front of Lin Shen: "There's another gift for you. Open it and see."
