Chapter 168: What... what's going on?

"Serena, I can't believe you're that kind of person!"

"And you have the nerve to talk? Aren't you the same? You act all righteous, but you secretly sent a love letter to Senior Brother Timothy!"

"Elara, you don't get to say anything either! You actually sent a painting of yourself in a bathrobe to Senior Brother Timothy. How could you do something so outrageous?"

Elara's face turned bright red. "You only saw the one with the bathrobe? Well, that's a relief... You didn't see the ones underneath that were even more... inappropriate."

"?"

"??"

"???"

"Seriously, you guys!"

As the conversation went on, the girls outside Timothy's room started to feel utterly embarrassed. Even though they wanted to keep throwing shade at each other, they couldn't bear to stay in front of Timothy's room any longer. Before long, they ran off in shame, putting some distance between themselves and the scene.

[Ding! You have gained the admiration of new disciple Lila.]

[Ding! You have gained the admiration of inner disciple Scarlett.]

[You have gained the admiration of chief disciple Lydia.]

[You have gained the admiration of Blooming Sanctuary elder Celeste.]

[Ding! System reward received: Radiant Flow, applicable to the Seraphic Six-Wing Mantle.]

Timothy: "..."

Even though these girls were clearly under the influence of the Blossom of Love, it seemed like... they were already pretty desperate, even without it.

The girls outside had long since disappeared. Just as Timothy was about to check out the changes to his Seraphic Six-Wing Mantle, he heard the soft sound of footsteps approaching. Along with it came a delicate fragrance, like a thousand blooming flowers—sweet but not overpowering, fresh and intoxicating.

"Long time no see, Timothy."

Holy Maiden Aeliana stepped into the room, covering her mouth with a hand as she smiled softly, a mix of charm and grace. Unlike during the day, she was now dressed in an extremely thin gown. Her golden dress flowed like clouds, revealing her snow-white shoulders, making her already stunning beauty and flawless figure even more alluring.

"It's only been a couple of hours," Timothy replied.

"Ugh, two hours is too long! Can't I miss you?" Holy Maiden Aeliana giggled as she moved closer. She pressed herself gently against Timothy's back, her soft body like a cushion of cotton. It felt like two perfectly kneaded doughs were resting against him, causing Timothy to shiver slightly.

Even though his standards had risen quite a bit after meeting Sylvia, Holy Maiden Aeliana was still a rare beauty that few could resist when she went this far...

"Hehe, I knew it. You're only human, after all. Even you can't resist."

Noticing Timothy's slight reaction, Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled with a hint of triumph, as if she had already won. After being blocked by Timothy countless times, she was determined that this time, he wouldn't be able to resist!

She had put a lot of effort into her appearance tonight. The gown, which revealed just one shoulder, was both fragrant and seductive, teasing yet modest, making her even more captivating. Could it be that even after all this, she still couldn't compare to Sylvia?

But Timothy just smiled slightly. "I admit you're charming, but... Holy Maiden Aeliana, do you really think you can fool me? During the day, you were so shy that just getting your clothes wet made you blush. Are you really telling me you turn into a different person at night? I think you're all talk—brave words, but no action."

"Who—who says I don't dare?"

Holy Maiden Aeliana was completely caught off guard by Timothy's retort. As the dignified Holy Maiden, was she really going to back down now?

Don't think for a second that she's as innocent as Sylvia!

"Alright, Timothy, watch closely!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana slowly leaned in closer to Timothy, her golden hair softly cascading down her back. But as her cheek neared his, her fragrant breath became increasingly erratic.

"Who's afraid of you? I'm going to kiss you right now!"

"And not just a kiss—I can do even more if I want to!"

"Don't move! Sit still!"

Aeliana's voice rang out repeatedly, but she quickly realized that Timothy wasn't backing down at all.

"You're really not going to run?"

Aeliana was completely stunned. In her mind, Timothy should have been overwhelmed by her charm, his heart pounding uncontrollably. But now, the situation was entirely reversed!

Faced with Timothy's calm smile, Aeliana started to panic. If this continued, wouldn't she, the Holy Maiden, lose all her dignity?

"Wait, there's still a chance!"

"Hmph, Timothy, if this approach doesn't work, don't blame me for what happens next."

Aeliana's lips curled into a sly smile. Suddenly, a Memory Orb floated out and landed on the table beside them. Immediately after, Aeliana unleashed her powerful aura, pinning Timothy firmly to the chair.

If seduction didn't work, she could always rely on force!

"I wonder what Sylvia would think if she accidentally saw what happens next. Timothy, this is your last chance."

Aeliana smiled seductively. There was no way Timothy could break free from the pressure of her Holy Emperor-level aura. Now, all that was left was the final step. If she recorded some compromising scenes with the Memory Orb, Timothy would have no choice but to submit to her demands.

"This is your last chance, Timothy. Are you really not going to surrender to me?"

Aeliana's smile was as enchanting as a thousand blooming flowers. With Sylvia not around, this was the perfect opportunity to deal with Timothy and reclaim some of her lost dignity as the Holy Maiden.

"Just you wait, Timothy!"

Aeliana's smile grew more confident as she felt victory within her grasp. She slowly leaned in closer to Timothy, ready to create a scene that the Memory Orb would capture, one that could easily be misunderstood.

But just as she was about to make her move, she noticed Timothy's calm smile. It was the same smile Sylvia always had when she was about to take action against her—calm, composed, and with a subtle hint of coldness.

"What... what's going on? Could it be..."

Aeliana's expression faltered slightly. She couldn't believe that Timothy could break free from her Holy Emperor-level aura. After all, no matter how strong Timothy was, he had only just reached the Ocean's Gate. With that level of power, there was no way he could contend with a Holy Emperor.

But for some reason, the subtle smile on Timothy's face sent a chill down her spine.

"I refuse to believe this!"

Aeliana's face flushed as she made up her mind. Without hesitation, she leaned in, her lips inching closer to Timothy's.

But just as she was about to make contact, a golden rope suddenly appeared, binding Aeliana tightly.

Panic surged through Aeliana's heart as she struggled to free herself, twisting her body in an attempt to resist. But she quickly realized that she couldn't break free from the rope's hold at all!
