Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

But Tan Lin's expression remained calm, like an ancient well that never changes, without a ripple.

He shook his head inwardly.

The opponent is so young, yet his combat strength has already reached the eighth level of forbidden realm; he is truly a prodigy.

However, even among the eight forbidden items, there are huge differences.

With her older sister Chi Yao's brilliance preceding her, although the other woman was equally stunning, she still seemed somewhat lacking.

As for comparing him?

Although he was reincarnated, he has now reached the pinnacle in this field in his new life.

The other party's cultivation level is one realm lower than his own. Even if he has the advantage of terrain, what can he use to measure him?

If her older sister came in person, it might be more interesting...

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the causal lines belonging to each of these twin lotus flowers were exceptionally unique and possessed great potential, they could generate a lot of revenue for him in the future.

He wouldn't even be interested in exchanging a few blows with this girl.

After all, although his past life wisdom was not fully awakened, it had already been partially awakened.

When he interacts with people of this age, he feels like he can see right through them, and he inevitably finds them somewhat naive.

Even if the other person is already showing great maturity and amazing talent at this age...

Hey!

Tan Lin took a simple step forward from the spot.

Faced with the dense, invisible spiritual threads binding him, his pale golden blood energy erupted suddenly, shining brightly in the forest like the rising sun, bringing a long-lost intense light to the place.

With a single step, he instantly closed in on the core of the Qi Silk Net.

Almost simultaneously, before the invisible net could envelop him, his right fist struck out with each step.

boom……

Tan Lin's punch was simple and unadorned, yet it carried an indomitable spirit.

The pale golden energy of blood, like a ball of divine fire, struck the spiritual net from afar, much like a hot knife cutting through butter.

lol...

next interest.

The seemingly tough and dense net of primordial energy, containing endless variations, emitted a teeth-grinding burning sound the moment it touched the pale golden fist and the fist intent.

In an instant, the net crumbled and vanished into nothingness.

however.

Although the net was destroyed, the intent of the punch remained, and the remaining force blasted straight backward.

Upon seeing this, Chi Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, her heart filled with overwhelming shock.

One of her trump cards was so easily countered by a single, brute punch from her opponent?!

The ancient and boundless energy contained in that fist strike, like the power that traverses the heavens and the earth, made her soul tremble.

hum...

Seeing the aftershocks of the fist's intent approaching.

At this moment, she had no time to dodge, so she could only let out a delicate shout, cross her arms in front of her chest, and condense all her divine power into divine runes, forming a divine light barrier in front of her.

Boom!

The residual force of the fist struck the divine pattern barrier, producing a muffled thud.

The barrier shook violently in an instant, lasting only a fleeting moment before becoming covered in cracks.

Chi Xuan groaned, feeling an indescribable force still emanating from her, causing her arms to ache and her blood to surge.

wow...

At that moment, her delicate body flew backward uncontrollably, and she was sure to be seriously injured even if she didn't die.

At that moment, a sigh was heard.

Followed by.

Tan Lin moved with lightning speed, arriving in an instant.

Just as Chi Xuan's back was about to crash heavily into the rock wall.

With his sleeves billowing, he swept away the lingering force of the punch, then gently extended his arm and firmly embraced Chi Xuan's slender waist.

Immediately, he spun around, dissipating the force of the impact, and helped the other woman's delicate body to its steady place before gently landing on the ground.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Chi Xuan was still in shock when she felt a tightness around her waist, and she was suddenly enveloped in a firm and warm embrace.

…………

Chapter 114 Oh no, this doesn't seem to be the Indestructible Golden Body, but rather Yang Guo's physique.

Being in someone else's arms.

Chi Xuan's beautiful eyes widened little by little.

Soon, a unique scent, as if it had been exposed to the sun, mixed with the youthful vigor and masculinity of the boy, rushed towards her.

The other person's arm was strong and steady, and even through the thin summer clothing, one could feel the temperature of the Undying Golden Body, which was far higher than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, if it weren't for the purple mist obscuring their presence, someone looking from a distance, unaware of the background, would surely find their current posture far too ambiguous.

And that is indeed the case.

Chi Xuan could even feel the strong, powerful heartbeat beneath the other person's chest.

Not only that, the other person's breath, which was blowing between her hair and forehead, almost enveloped her entire oval face.

hum...

Suddenly, Chi Xuan's mind went blank.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from her closest relatives, when had she ever had such contact with anyone else?

What's more, it's a boy of the opposite sex who is about the same age as her, who has just displayed amazing strength and ruthlessly defeated her.

"call……"

The warmth brushed against her forehead and cheeks.

What's quite strange is that perhaps her mind was blank and she didn't have time to think about anything else, so she didn't feel any aversion.

The heat was like a fire, instantly igniting the blood in her entire body.

At that moment, a wisp of smoke rose visibly up to her ears.

Boom!

thump... thump...

Chi Xuan's heart was pounding like a drum, almost bursting out of her chest.

The feeling was strange. Even though someone was just holding her waist, it was as if all the strength in her body had been instantly drained, and her limbs felt weak.

If it weren't for that large hand still around her waist, supporting her, she probably would have already lost her balance.

In an instant.

In her panic, Chi Xuan felt a strange emotion she had never experienced before surge within her heart, spreading like an electric current through her limbs and bones, striking deep into her soul.

After a long while.

When all the dust seemed to have settled, and even the occasional rustling of a few leaves falling in the distance could be heard.

Chi Xuan nestled shyly in Tan Lin's arms, too embarrassed to look up, afraid that the invisible awkwardness would be magnified.

There was nothing she could do; for some reason, even after a short while, her limbs were still incredibly weak, and she had no strength at all.

Without the other person's help, she would most likely fall to the ground and make a fool of herself.

As Tan Lin approached, he slowly frowned.

With the soft, fragrant body of the young woman in his arms, her delicate form trembling slightly, he was naturally able to fully perceive her state at such close range.

Her cheeks were flushed like the sunset, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright eyes, which were always lively and cunning, became misty with tears.

With her head bowed, a hint of panic and helplessness flickered in the corner of her eye.

The other person was discreetly observing him, and a chilling glint was hidden in their eyes...

Something's not right, this is very wrong...

Catching Chi Xuan was merely a casual action he took after dissipating the residual force of his punch, to prevent her from being injured again.

Unexpectedly, the moment the other person was in his arms, their whole body went limp, and if he let go, they couldn't even stand up straight!

Logically speaking, it's normal for a girl of this age to blush when someone helps her up, but she would never act like this.

In this situation, how can he possibly have an indestructible golden body?

It's clearly the kind of physique described in a certain film or TV novel, similar to Yang Guo's, right?

He had only put his arm around the woman's waist, and she was almost unable to walk.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he defeated his opponent, saved them from danger at the last second, and that his own extraordinary good looks were also a factor...

Even so, this is still far too exaggerated.

Boom!

thump... thump...

The girl in his arms was pounding her heart like a deer hitting a wall, her heart beating faster and faster. A faint, youthful fragrance wafted into his nostrils, but none of this stirred even the slightest ripple in Tan Lin's heart.

The other person was too young. Even if they had developed early and were already so beautiful that countless teenagers were infatuated with them, he couldn't muster any interest in them.

Looking back on his past and present lives, he realized that the pleasures of men and women had never been his pursuit!

His Daoist heart has always been as firm as a rock, and he could not be moved by these superficial things.

Standing in front of the rock wall, he slowly released his arms, gently supporting Chi Xuan's body, and then took a half step back.

"Are you okay?"

Tan Lin's tone remained calm and composed, as if the hug just now was nothing out of the ordinary.

however.

Without his support, Chi Xuan's legs went weak and she almost lost her balance.

She quickly grabbed the rock wall beside her, lowered her head, avoided looking directly at Tan Lin, and said in a voice barely audible:

"No, it's nothing... Thank you... Thank you for showing mercy just now, brother..."

She could feel her face burning hot, and her heart was still pounding wildly.

The feeling of weakness and uncontrollable heartbeat that she had just experienced filled her with shame and anger, yet there was also a faint, inexplicable sense of longing.

Standing before him, Tan Lin found it hard to reconcile the image of Chi Xuan before him with the fierce and spirited girl he had known earlier.

The contrast between the other person before and after was so stark that they seemed like two completely different people.

"Since there's nothing else, let's continue on our way. We've wasted too much time on the road, and Brother Xiang Jun might be waiting for us."

Tan Lin said slowly.

"Um... okay, alright..."

Chi Xuan silently took a few deep breaths, barely suppressing the turmoil in her heart, then lowered her head and walked ahead to lead the way.

Her steps were still a little unsteady, but she felt much better as time went by after she was out of Tan Lin's arms.

Along the way, she no longer introduced the scenery to Tan Lin in her usual lively and cheerful manner, nor did she look back at him.

For a long time, the only sounds along the way were birdsong and footsteps in the forest, and a subtle silence seemed to permeate the two of them.

Of course, compared to Chi Xuan's chaotic state of mind, Tan Lin's silence was only unintentionally making the girl too embarrassed. In addition, he was still pondering the reason for the abnormality just now.

Da...da...
