Chapter 164: Timothy, how dare you toy with me!

A strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart, and before she knew it, it was like a tidal wave, overwhelming and unstoppable.

Not only did it refuse to fade, but it grew even stronger.

The method Holy Maiden Aeliana used to repair the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions involved amplifying the emotions of all the female disciples in the sanctuary to their limits, and then using a reversal technique to neutralize them.

With Timothy's handsome appearance, the method indeed worked.

But what she never expected was that while the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions were successfully restored, the backlash from the Blossom of Love, which represented love, had quietly entered her own body.

And now, it was erupting.

Holy Maiden Aeliana tried her best to suppress her emotions, but the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions were a sacred treasure of the sanctuary, not something easily resisted.

The backlash, infused with the "love" of countless disciples, was unstoppable and instantly spread throughout her being.

"This is bad, really bad!"

Before she realized it, Holy Maiden Aeliana's gaze had become somewhat hazy.

In her eyes, Timothy suddenly appeared incredibly handsome.

And not just handsome—irresistibly so!

Holy Maiden Aeliana's delicate body slowly leaned closer, her cherry lips inching toward Timothy's face.

Timothy was stunned.

"What the hell? What's going on?"

He could only watch as Holy Maiden Aeliana, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago, suddenly changed.

A blush appeared on her pure and beautiful face.

Unlike Goddess Sylvia, Holy Maiden Aeliana didn't have that unique coldness.

But usually, even the slightest movement from her exuded an extreme, gentle allure.

And now, with that blush, she looked almost dangerously seductive, like a temptress who could bring calamity to the world.

Her cherry lips continued to move closer.

Since meeting Holy Maiden Aeliana, Timothy had encountered her charms more than once.

But he knew very well that her previous actions were mostly playful.

Though incredibly convincing, they never escalated to anything serious.

But now, something was clearly off with the Holy Maiden.

Timothy tried to resist, but before he could even raise his hand, the overwhelming pressure of Holy Maiden Aeliana's authority bore down on him.

The intense pressure was impossible to resist!

The sheer majesty of her presence actually restricted Timothy's movements.

If it weren't for the current situation, Timothy might have forgotten that she was a Holy Emperor, with power comparable to Goddess Sylvia!

"Holy Maiden, something's really wrong with you!"

The sweet scent in the air was starting to cloud Timothy's mind.

Her cherry lips were still getting closer, and if this continued…

Just then, Holy Maiden Aeliana, whose mind was almost entirely consumed by "love," suddenly snapped back to reality.

In that brief moment of clarity, she saw the scene before her.

She was just inches away from Timothy. If this went on, she would really be crossing a line!

A Holy Maiden, about to commit such an act in broad daylight under the influence of the Blossom of Love—it was unthinkable.

"Damn it!"

Forcing herself to suppress the intense desire within, Holy Maiden Aeliana leaped into the nearby stream.

The clear, icy water flowed around her, but it still couldn't cool her burning body.

Holy Maiden Aeliana had no choice but to submerge herself, closing her eyes tightly and repeatedly chanting a mantra to calm her mind.

The splashing water left glistening droplets on her delicate face.

A cool breeze blew by, bringing a refreshing sense of relief.

After what felt like an eternity, Holy Maiden Aeliana finally managed to calm the storm raging within her.

She let out a long breath, though her cheeks still held a faint blush.

Even the breath she exhaled carried a hint of intoxicating warmth.

But at least she had regained her composure.

Reflecting on what had just happened, Holy Maiden Aeliana felt a lingering sense of fear.

If things had gone any further, not only would her reputation have been utterly ruined, but more importantly, Sylvia would probably be coming after her with a sword by tomorrow!

Rising halfway out of the water, she noticed her soaked clothes and quickly summoned petals to cover herself.

Looking over at Timothy on the shore, she pouted slightly, her eyes carrying a trace of grievance.

"What a shame," Timothy said with a helpless smile.

Even drenched in water, with her light golden hair gently floating on the surface, Holy Maiden Aeliana still looked pure and incredibly beautiful.

Seeing her still somewhat shy and embarrassed expression, Timothy had a pretty good idea of what had just transpired. Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

The situation had indeed been difficult to control. If it had been anyone else without a wife like Goddess Sylvia, they probably would have already made a move, and things would have spiraled out of control.

But who would have thought that the ever-alluring Holy Maiden Aeliana would find herself in such a predicament?

Looking at the pitiful, slightly disheveled Holy Maiden in the water, Timothy couldn't help but laugh. He even considered taking this opportunity to settle some old scores.

"Holy Maiden, haven't you been eyeing me for a long time? So why didn't you make a move when I was right in front of you just now?

Could it be that you're all talk and no action?" Timothy teased with a grin.

"You! How dare you!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana slapped the water in frustration, but she had no real retort. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The splash of water even soaked the upper part of her clothes.

She had never been in such an awkward situation before. Her face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, anything to avoid letting Timothy see her like this.

A flurry of petals suddenly fell, covering Holy Maiden Aeliana from view.

When the petals dispersed with the wind, she had already changed into a clean, off-white dress.

With a light tap of her toes on the water's surface, she gracefully floated back to the shore.

However, Timothy had already seen her completely drenched state.

"Who would've thought that even though Holy Maiden looks great in clothes, her actual figure is even more impressive," Timothy remarked with a click of his tongue.

Probably no one else in the world would dare say something like that.

Holy Maiden Aeliana was instantly filled with shame and anger. "I'm going to kill you!"

Timothy chuckled. "Didn't you say before that you didn't care what I saw? Why are you acting so shy now that it's actually happening?"

"You!"

Recalling the things she had said to Timothy in the past, Holy Maiden Aeliana found herself at a loss for words.

As if trying to regain some dignity, she unleashed her Holy Emperor's aura, which immediately knocked Timothy to the ground.

But then she froze, unable to take the next step.

"Go on, Holy Maiden. Why stop now?" Timothy said calmly, as if he had expected this.

In an instant, Holy Maiden Aeliana's face turned an even deeper shade of red, and her arms went limp.

Seizing the moment, Timothy suddenly flipped them over.

He pinned her beneath him, their positions reversed.

"What… what are you going to do?"

As Timothy's face drew closer, Holy Maiden Aeliana's mind went completely blank.

She had teased Timothy with seductive gestures more than once, but now that things were getting serious, she was utterly panicked.

She had never imagined it would come to this!

"So there really is a reward," Timothy murmured with a slight smile. Just as he had suspected, he received a reward after all. Only then did he suddenly stand up and release Holy Maiden Aeliana.

"Timothy, how dare you toy with me!"

Behind him, Holy Maiden Aeliana's voice was filled with shame and fury.
