The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 220 Liar
"Colonel Ariel, is your father the former president of the Empire?" Lin Nan asked.

“Yes. To formally introduce myself, my name is Arachne Ariel, from the Ariel family of Sector Nine. My father was Colonel Ariel, who passed away five years ago. I am currently the one who has temporarily taken over his family business and is managing all affairs.” After saying this, he couldn’t help but move closer to Lin Nan, kneel down, and gently kiss the toe of her shoe with the highest Zerg etiquette—the foot kiss. “Lin Nan, you can call me by my nickname—Vic. It’s a name that only close relatives would use.”

Arachne knelt on the ground, looking up at her with a seductive smile in his purple eyes.

This gave Lin Nan a tingling, numbing sensation, starting from the man kissing the tips of her shoes and gradually spreading throughout her body…

His lips didn't actually touch her skin; through the fabric, they were incredibly hot.

This man knows how to win a girl's heart...

Lin Nan sensed a hint of danger and tried to back away again, but the person kneeling on the ground grabbed her ankle.

"Lin, since you're already here, please come in and have a seat."

Lin Nan swallowed hard and said, "It's possible, but please don't kneel down so easily—"

"So, Lin doesn't like this." The man stood up knowingly. He was two heads taller than Lin Nan, and his huge shadow fell on her, creating a strange sense of oppression.

"How about this?" His deep voice held a hint of teasing as he gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. "Do you prefer my perspective from above? Tell me, and I'll slowly change, slowly become the way you like..."

Lin Nan's breath hitched slightly. She could clearly feel the heat emanating from the other person, as well as that faint, cautious—ingratiating emotion.

Arachne gave her a very complicated feeling. She couldn't see what his true personality was like. He seemed to have many layers of disguise, a thousand faces, and the attitude he showed depended on the kind of people he met.

In Lin Nan's original world, such people were usually called "liars." But all the performances of a liar are fake, while every aspect of this man is real. When he speaks flirtatious sweet nothings, there is genuine pleasure flowing through his body; when he mentions his father, his eyes reveal real pain; even when he grabs her ankle, the excitement of anticipating his prey falling into the net is not fake at all.

Difficult

Lin Nan frowned inwardly, thinking to himself.

Truly worthy of being an S-rank in the mind control category!

She wanted to see what this person was up to!
Lin Nan followed Arachne into the manor, passed through the garden, and finally arrived at the massive main building.

The expensive doors, adorned with gold trim, opened from the inside, and an irresistible, sweet aroma wafted out.

Lin Nan was caught off guard and was immediately attacked. She covered her mouth and nose and hurriedly retreated, only to find herself backed into a solid wall of flesh.

Arachne wrapped her arms around Lin Nan's waist from behind. Her long hair, which had been braided, had somehow come loose and slowly cascaded down from the top of Lin Nan's head, like a meandering stream that gently enveloped her.

Lin Nan's face flushed strangely, and she felt a little weak.

"Welcome to our lair, Lin..." Arachne's lips almost touched her burning earlobe, his voice tinged with triumphant satisfaction. "I'm so sorry, Andrew wanted to produce some delicious honey to welcome you, Lin. He even started bathing and scenting himself with perfume early on, but—he seems to have gotten too excited and produced a sweet syrup with a different effect..." "But it's alright, this effect will pass soon, don't be afraid..." Arachne kept reassuring Lin Nan, but his fingers had already slid down her waist to her lower abdomen, gently applying pressure three inches below her navel—

"Ugh..." Lin Nan couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

The rich fragrance in the air surged towards her like a tide, constantly entering her body through her mouth and nose, and then—gradually taking over her reason.

This wasn't an ordinary scent; it was a complex blend of insectoid pheromones and neurotransmitters, instilling in her a strange longing—

Arachne scooped up the trembling Lin Nan and carried him into the house, the exquisite door slowly closing behind him.

The fragrance and mist inside the room grew even stronger, and Lin Nan's head felt heavy, making it difficult to see her surroundings clearly.

All that is known is that Arachne carried her into a room, which seemed to have a huge bed.

Upon seeing them enter, the people waiting inside stood up and, like hungry insects attracted by a lure, slowly surrounded Lin Nan.

Lin Nan bit her lip hard, trying to clear her mind, but just as her mental barrier was about to break down, Arachne stopped her. He lowered his head and licked away the physiological tears that had seeped from the corners of Lin Nan's eyes. His fingertips traced along her spine, and with his movements, a very faint and hard-to-detect insect pattern appeared on the back of Lin Nan's neck.

"Don't use your mental power here. Don't you know you've been marked for surveillance?"

Arachne said in a deep voice.

Lin Nan froze, somewhat incredulous.

Surveillance markings? How come she didn't know? When?
"Don't move. If we remove it now, that person will definitely find out. Lin, come into our picture..."

As Arachne's voice faded, a pair of kaleidoscope-like eyes lit up in the mist. The surrounding mist and fragrance surged like living things, and countless brightly colored prism fragments floated in the air, slowly eroding Lin Nan's consciousness.

Then she felt herself being caught by another pair of strong arms and falling into a honey-scented embrace—

The man held her like a baby, his rough hands carefully cradling the back of Lin Nan's head, making her face vaguely face him—(mmm, hehe).

Lin Nan's tears flowed even more freely, feeling that the way things were unfolding was somewhat devastating.

This bee spirit sentinel named Andrew is a man who looks very burly with well-developed pectoral muscles. His dark skin has the color of years of "labor". Every muscle on his body is bulging and well-defined, much like those male bodybuilders you only see on TV.

Andrew's presence was like a moving, muscular wall; he held Lin Nan as if she were a kitten. No one would guess that such a tough, steely figure was actually a "nanny" in this team...
