"I never planned to lie to you... I was just afraid you wouldn't believe me, that's why I did it this way!" Shawn Young saw Luna Xiao's reaction and knew she wasn't actually angry at him, so he quickly tried to defend himself while the iron was hot.
"You... you take advantage and then act all innocent! You're so bad..." Luna Xiao glared at Shawn with a pout. Her stunning face blushed with shyness, making her look even more captivating.
"I'm just telling the truth! It's not my fault you didn't believe me..." Shawn started to complain, but inside he was overjoyed.
He realized that when it came to matters of the heart, Luna Xiao was nowhere near as "cold" as her image suggested! In fact, she was as pure as a young girl. This discovery was fantastic news for Shawn!
"I just didn't expect you to have so many women, and to be a True Yang Body too. It's unbelievable..." Luna Xiao looked at Shawn again, her eyes shining with a special light.
"Uh... how do you know I have so many women?" Shawn was startled and asked, secretly worried that Luna Xiao might suddenly think badly of him.
Actually, Shawn's mindset was common among men, especially young, handsome, and capable ones. When a man meets a woman he really likes, he always unconsciously shows his best side while downplaying his romantic escapades. In biology, this is known as the "Peacock Display Theory." *Note: Whether he's flamboyant or reserved, every guy uses the "Peacock Display Theory" when chasing girls—just like a male peacock shows off his beautiful tail to attract a mate and hides his less attractive side!
"Hmph, you can't hide anything! Don't think I don't know—there are more women in your life than I can count on ten fingers... You're the textbook definition of a playboy!" Luna Xiao teased him.
"Wait... did you investigate me?" Shawn suddenly realized Luna Xiao might have done just that.
"Of course! The day you showed up out of nowhere and then disappeared, plus your Daoist magic skills—you're clearly not an ordinary person. So I secretly looked into you; how else would I know about all your women?" To Shawn's surprise, Luna Xiao admitted it without hesitation.
"Uh... I didn't expect you to be so interested in me, hehe..." Shawn Young realized what she meant and shamelessly grinned.
"Who's interested in you...? I only investigated you because I was worried you might be part of some organization trying to infiltrate our Thirteen Enforcers!" Luna Xiao rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh... that's tragic. Turns out I was just being self-indulgent! Sigh... it's true what they say, love only brings regret..." Shawn Young dramatically covered his forehead.
"Haha... serves you right! You're always falling for whoever you meet." Luna Xiao giggled at him.
"I can't help it! My fate is just to attract beautiful women... If I didn't accept them, they'd be heartbroken! I'm just too kind-hearted to refuse, you know..." Shawn Young clutched his chest in mock agony.
"Wow... your skin is thicker than I thought!" Luna Xiao shook her head and sighed, feeling helpless at Shawn's shameless defense.
"Hehe... of course! Otherwise, how would I dare mess with a woman as fierce as you? And to steal a kiss, too!" Shawn Young raised his eyebrows, realizing that teasing a mysterious beauty like Luna Xiao was exhilarating. Plus, his courage had grown after his last bold move didn’t backfire!
"Annoying... stop talking nonsense!" Luna Xiao couldn't take Shawn's shamelessness anymore and raised her little fist, ready to punch him.
But cunning Shawn Young was waiting for this moment. He grabbed Luna Xiao's soft fist with his right hand, noticing she didn't use any force. Overjoyed, he pulled her into his arms and quickly wrapped his left arm around her slender waist.
"Ah... d-don't, don't do this... we're on a plane..." Luna Xiao panicked, but couldn't shout out loud. After all, she was still a shy and inexperienced girl!
"Hehe... This is exactly how I like it..." Shawn Young flashed a mischievous grin. He knew that to win over a woman like Luna Xiao, being shy was pointless—it was all about ramping up the intensity!
"You... you... cough... cough..." Luna Xiao was both embarrassed and flustered, unsure how to handle the situation. Her mind was in chaos, and a wave of yin energy surged to her chest, making her feel breathless and triggering a violent coughing fit.
"Ah... are you okay?" Shawn Young was shocked to see Luna Xiao's face turn deathly pale in an instant. It turned out her Extreme Yin Body was far more dangerous and fragile than he'd imagined!
"Cough... cough... cough..." Luna Xiao shook her head, struggling to suppress the reaction in her chest. She was too weak to answer Shawn, and her face grew even more terrifyingly pale.
Shawn Young still had his arm around her, feeling her body tremble and sensing an odd, chilling yin energy. Seeing her like this, he realized he'd triggered an episode of her Extreme Yin Body. Panicked, he forgot all hesitation and quickly removed the Deerskin Gloves from her hands, then grasped her slender, crystal-clear hands tightly with his own.
"W-what are you trying to do?" Luna Xiao asked, barely able to hold herself together.
"Don't talk. Focus your energy, concentrate on your dantian, and keep your mind steady... Control your Second Sight..." Shawn Young whispered in her ear as he pressed his palms to hers, channeling his pure Yang energy steadily into her palms.
Luna Xiao immediately felt two currents of burning energy pouring into her palms and spreading through her meridians. It was an overwhelmingly strong, pure Yang force that diluted the yin energy raging inside her, flowing through her eight extraordinary meridians and devouring the bone-chilling 'Nine Yin Energy' that had tormented her for nearly twenty years!
"Mmm... oh..." The waves of heat surged through Luna Xiao's body, making her feel an indescribable sense of relief and pleasure. She couldn't help but let out a few soft moans.
Shawn Young saw her complexion gradually improve, even showing a special blush. He knew his method was working, so he kept channeling his energy into her.
But just then, something unexpected happened. When Shawn tried to channel his pure Yang energy into Luna Xiao's Second Sight, he was met with a powerful barrier of yin energy. It was like a special defense shield—no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through. This meant he couldn't inject his energy into her core, so he couldn't truly cure the root of her Extreme Yin Body!
"That's strange, why can't I get in?" Shawn tried several times but failed to channel his energy into Luna Xiao's Second Sight, feeling frustrated.
"Stop for now, withdraw your energy. This isn't working..." Luna Xiao had recovered and quickly reminded Shawn.
Hearing this, Shawn could only withdraw his energy. He then asked curiously, "Is your Extreme Yin Body protected by some kind of innate barrier?"
"Yes, that's how the Extreme Yin Body works. My body naturally gathers and attracts yin energy, which forms a barrier in my Second Sight. Usually, ordinary yang energy can't enter. I can only survive by constantly cultivating and refining the excess yin energy inside me." Luna Xiao explained softly.
"Oh... sounds like your life hasn't been easy all these years..." Shawn sighed.
"I've gotten used to it... But there are some benefits, at least I've developed some decent skills." Luna Xiao smiled.
"Is there any way to completely cure your Extreme Yin Body?" Shawn asked.
As soon as Shawn said this, Luna Xiao's face turned bright red, even her ears blushed. She didn't answer, just lowered her head shyly, looking irresistibly beautiful.
"What's wrong? Is there a way or not...?" Shawn pressed, sensing something.
"There... there is a way... but I..." Luna Xiao's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
"As long as there's a way! Tell me—if I can do it, I promise I'll help you!" Shawn assured her.
