The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 274 Preparations for Advancing to S-Rank
Her rise from B to A grade was inseparable from Hosen's unrestrained feeding during that period.

His earth-elemental spiritual power was perfectly suited to her, carrying the heavy and steady qualities of the earth, slowly permeating all her spiritual meridians. With each absorption, she was nourished and nurtured, growing and blossoming like a gentle spring breeze.

Perhaps it was because this feeling was so comfortable and satisfying that she unconsciously became a greedy person.

On several occasions, she even took the initiative to press him down beneath her, binding his most vulnerable parts with dense strands of spiritual energy, forcing him to open his entrance again—

What was Hossen's expression like at that time?

The moonlight was dim and yellow. The usually composed man was breathing heavily, his sweat-drenched forehead pressed against hers, his whole body enveloped in an inexplicable heat.

Faced with her recklessness, he simply yielded gently, soothing her again and again in a hoarse voice: "Don't rush, eat slowly..."

His indulgence, like lukewarm water, completely melted away her last bit of guilt. She absorbed it even more recklessly, until her consciousness was completely filled with earth-elemental spiritual energy, even her fingertips felt a faint warmth.
She still remembers the night before they parted. The lights in the room were off, and only the moonlight from outside the window shone through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on him.

The flow of energy should be balanced, like a river flowing into a lake and then nourishing the earth from the lake, circulating and never owing anything to anyone.

The airship had already landed on the tarmac. This time, waiting for her outside were not only the silver-haired, squinty-eyed chief of staff from last time, but also President Edward.

The president, dressed in a sharp suit, personally stepped forward to greet her, smiling and saying, "Guide Lin, you must be tired from your journey."

Lin Nan looked at the mature man in front of her who resembled Lan Yin. She had no intention of being polite and asked directly, "Where is Director Huo? I want to see him."

“I understand how you feel right now, but you can’t see him yet,” Edward replied.

"why?"

"Director Huo has been listed as a Level 1 dangerous person. He is under close guard at the rehabilitation center and cannot be visited easily. He is also prohibited from having any mental contact with the outside world."

"A dangerous person? What happened to him?"

"Alienation. He's become a monster without human consciousness now, Guide Lin. You don't want to see him like that."

"How could this be..." Lin Nan said in disbelief. Huo Sen's emotions had always been stable, so how could they suddenly change?
Perhaps sensing the confusion in Lin Nan's eyes, Edward explained, "Director Huo has been on the front lines for many years, and his mental energy has never been properly channeled. His contamination level has exceeded the safe level, so mutation was bound to happen sooner or later. This is not a strange thing. However, given that he is a double S-level super-advanced sentinel, it is indeed a bit troublesome to deal with. That's why we specially recalled Guide Lin this time. You are his master, and only you can help him."

"..." Lin Nan silently gazed at the man before her. Her gaze was calm, yet it carried an almost sharp scrutiny. The spiritual threads at her fingertips had already quietly dispersed, carefully touching the emotional field around the man. She could clearly capture the undercurrents hidden beneath that seemingly calm emotional surface.

There was a subtle tension, as taut as a string, and a hint of deliberately suppressed restlessness... but he had all these emotions firmly wrapped up by his strong self-control, layer upon layer, tightly sealed.

This person is no ordinary person. Lin Nan knew this from the mental landscape he had previously witnessed. It was not the mental world of an ordinary person. It was a dead, silent deep sea: without a ripple, without a ripple, even the air seemed to be frozen. The dark sea was as heavy as a piece of airtight glass, locking all vitality and emotions underneath, only letting out a suffocating oppression.

He was already a madman, practically a monster, yet he stood there judging others with labels like "dangerous" and "monster." Thinking about this, Lin Nan found it all laughable.

"Then, Mr. President, what do you want me to do?"

“Guide Lin, don’t worry.” Edward leaned down slightly, subtly avoiding Lin Nan’s mental tendrils. “We have prepared a healing pool for you. Please go and relax there first. We can sit down and discuss things later. We will tell Guide Lin everything truthfully.”

Lin Nan followed the instructions and was led by Giss into the healing pool that had been prepared in advance. The ladies entered one by one and brought her a change of clothes and relaxing items. She looked at the beautifully decorated red wine and pastries on the small table, lost in thought.

"What is this?" she asked, picking up the beautifully packaged gift box alongside the pastries.

“This is an energy stone.” Gis stood behind her the whole time, guarding her every step of the way.

"Is this for me?" Lin Nan opened the gift box, inside was a jet-black mental energy stone, and it was quite large.

She probed and smelled a familiar scent.

This is……

"This is a Xiu energy stone. The research institute has already refined it. It's A+ grade, which is perfect for you right now."

"Are you planning to use this energy stone to upgrade my mental power?"

“Exactly, but that’s only part of it.” Giston paused for a moment and explained in detail, “Entering the S-level of mental power not only means an improvement in the level of mental power, but also a comprehensive upgrade of the five senses. Human perception will become as sharp as that of a wild animal. Some people can’t control it, and their brains cannot adapt to this overload of information, which will cause them to become disordered.”

"We have carefully studied Guide Lin's spiritual characteristics. Your capacity for acceptance is unfathomable, but due to your age, your capacity to bear burdens is too small. In order to help you better get through this stage, we plan to let you improve slowly in multiple stages. From the jade that was peeled off from your body, we have cultivated three high-quality energy stones, the largest of which is S-grade. You need to absorb them slowly."

After speaking, the man moved closer to her from behind and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Guide Lin, would you like me to help you take a bath? You don't seem to have rested at all these past few days, you must be tired. Let me help you relax?"

Lin Nan stopped Geese from trying to take off her coat, and took a few steps forward, moving away from him.

"No need, you can go out first."

“The President instructed that you must not leave our sight. Since you do not wish for my service, I will have someone else come in,” Giss said calmly, his refined and handsome appearance revealing no emotion. After speaking, he nodded to the sentry on duty outside the door, who acknowledged and quickly left.

Not long after, the door to the healing pool was pushed open again, and accompanied by a soft footstep, an elegant figure, carrying the scent of the salty sea breeze, slowly walked in.
