Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 232: Do you undress yourself, or shall I help you?

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Do you undress yourself, or shall I help you?

The white jade stairs ascended all the way up.

At every entrance, there were guards with swords standing watch.

As they saw the Holy Maiden robed in white approaching,

they hastily paid their respects.

However, when they saw Lin Fan following behind her,

they all revealed a look of astonishment.

It was known that only the lower five levels of the Holy Maiden Hall were open to the public.

The upper four levels were her private quarters.

On ordinary days, only a few guards had access.

For so many years, outsiders had not been seen,

let alone a man.

But since the Holy Maiden did not speak up, they could not stop him.

They could only watch helplessly as Lin Fan entered the very top level.

"No wonder they say ’the higher you stand, the further you see’; the scenery from here is so beautiful."

When Lin Fan reached the summit of the ninth floor,

this was unquestionably the highest point of Sky Cave.

From the window, he could overlook the entire panorama of Sky Cave Village.

As long as he wished, he could clearly observe everything happening in the entire village.

"Even the most beautiful scenery is just an eternal night, the same for a hundred years; no matter how beautiful, it’s nothing to fuss over any longer."

The modestly sized room was arranged neatly and properly.

Ni Yan sat on a chair, watching Lin Fan standing at the window.

"I heard from Zhao Jiaqi that even you don’t know the way out, is that true or false?"

Lin Fan leaned on the windowsill, surveying his surroundings.

Because there was also a hydroelectric generator inside Sky Cave,

unless one paid special attention, they wouldn’t know they were inside a natural cavern.

The boudoir in front of him didn’t have anything particularly unusual about it.

It was just that the colors were only black and white.

There was no profusion of variegated colors.

In its simplicity, there was an air of loneliness.

"Being the Holy Maiden, the first commandment is to never leave Sky Cave for eternity, so what difference does it make to know or not to know?"

Leaning back in her chair, Ni Yan sized up Lin Fan’s face.

He was the first man in many years to have reached this place.

And at the same time, one could say he was the male she had spoken the most with.

"Being the Holy Maiden is not the same as becoming an immortal or Buddha; is there a need to be so pure and free of desire?"

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I didn’t expect that you would be so obedient to your vows. So, with that said, does our wager come into effect? Is it you who undresses yourself, or should I help you?"

"Do you really want to have a moment of spring with me?"

Ni Yan’s face maintained a perpetual look of unflappable calm,

even when discussing such a shy topic.

She remained as stoic as a mountain.

"Of course, this is what I’ve risked my life for, shouldn’t I?"

Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

"Alright then, come on."

He had assumed that Ni Yan would find every excuse to stall.

Whether it was using force or making a deal,

she would not easily submit.

But unexpectedly, she just sat there,

showing no intention of bargaining.

"Come on what?"

This time, it was Lin Fan who was taken aback.

"To undress me, isn’t that what you said?"

As Ni Yan spoke, she leaned back in her chair,

her face still devoid of any emotional fluctuation,

yet still so strikingly gorgeous.

"Alright, since you said so."

It seemed that he had to get serious, or she wouldn’t easily give in.

Hence, Lin Fan stepped forward and reached out to undo Ni Yan’s clothes.

As button after button was unfastened,

Ni Yan still sat motionless,

allowing her snow-white, icy skin to be gradually exposed to Lin Fan.

In the end, all his clothes were open, with only a close-fitting bellyband remaining.

"Your hand trembled, and your breathing became rapid," she said.

Ni Yan, still sitting there, had been staring intently into Lin Fan’s eyes from start to finish.

Such questioning only made him even more embarrassed.

"Seeing such a stunning woman and having a spring affair should naturally make one nervous," he replied.

Lin Fan swallowed hard.

If he said he wasn’t moved, that would definitely be a lie.

After all, this cold beauty was his to play with at will.

No man in the world could control his emotions in such a situation.

He struggled to suppress the urge to pounce on her numerous times.

Lin Fan had to engage her in a battle of limits.

"Although I’ve never been with a man, if I’m not wrong, a man who remains a gentleman at a time like this is not just brazen," she said.

As Ni Yan spoke, she took the initiative to remove her dress’s upper garment.

Her round shoulders coupled with a delicate collarbone.

And beneath the full bellyband, a slender waist lay concealed.

It struck directly at Lin Fan’s limits.

"Perhaps you’re mistaken, I am someone whose audacity is greater than the heavens," Lin Fan remarked with a roguish laugh.

His eyes, almost breathing fire, lewdly assessed her body.

He had to pretend to be a lecher.

Just a little restraint would suffice.

"Alright, I’m willing to accept the bet. For the next twenty-four hours, my body is yours," Ni Yan declared, walking to the bedside to pick up a clock that was there.

After checking the time, she lay down on the white bed.

Her dark hair framed her pale face.

The curves of her body were intoxicatingly shapely.

"Are you really prepared to offer yourself?" Lin Fan asked with a wry smile.

A woman who didn’t play by the rules made him feel helpless.

The test of limits was not as easy to achieve as he had expected.

"A win is a win, a loss is a loss. Had I won, you’d already be a corpse. So having lost, I should bear the consequences. Besides, you’ve already seen certain things," Ni Yan said, looking at Lin Fan expressionlessly.

It was as if she was discussing something that didn’t concern her.

"Don’t you want to resist even a little?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

This compliance was too unfamiliar for him.

"I recognize that I don’t have the ability to catch a whip once it’s been cracked. With your speed, you’re definitely a high-level expert. I don’t have a sure chance of victory against you. Moreover, keeping my word is one of the principles of the Holy Maiden. If I went back on my word, how could I be qualified to sit in this position?" Ni Yan replied, her face cold but her logic impeccable.

Lin Fan gazed intently at her coldly beautiful face.

A rational woman was a fearsome thing indeed.

"Have you not considered exchanging for other terms?" he asked, once again stifling the fire in his heart.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Yan.

Now, no matter how he saw it, it seemed as if she was the one behaving like a rogue.

"You finally speak up? Tell me, what do you want after all?" Ni Yan’s unchanging icy demeanor was unexpectedly punctuated by a fleeting smile.

Though it was brief, Lin Fan still caught it.

Indeed, this deeply cunning woman was no ordinary person.

She had figured out his intentions early on.

And from the beginning to the end, she had been waiting motionlessly.

In this test of limits, he had already lost the advantage.

"Originally, I wanted something specific, but I’ve changed my mind now; I want you," Lin Fan said.

Since his thoughts had been discerned by her,

Lin Fan might as well resign himself to his fate.

Sometimes, the best strategy is to play right into the trap set for you.

So, like a hungry wolf, he lunged at Ni Yan.

The battle that ensued,

Would show who would emerge "the victor" and who "the vanquished."
