Chapter 34: Lin Chen is of the Elf Race

Lin Chen steeled her heart and handed control of her body over to Lin Fan.

However, she kept a tight grip on her aura and demeanor, not daring to relax easily.

It was not that she was unwilling to relinquish control, but rather that Lin Fan lacked the delicate grace of a woman, and she feared he would cause a scene if left in charge.

After taking over the body, Lin Fan felt incomparably delighted, but instead of thinking about merit points, he reached out his hands to lightly stroke his chest.

The skin was like lard, smooth as silk; a gentle press felt soft as a cloud.

He felt slightly smug in his heart and couldn't help but whisper: "To think such a spiritual body is not my own."

In truth, the "Thousand Appearances Faceless" technique had hidden itself away, allowing the Elf Race Bloodline to take control of its form; the divine technique was ingenious, altering both form and spirit.

Thus, although this body was used by Lin Fan, it no longer belonged to him; from spirit to flesh, they had no connection.

The only link was the naturally attached bond between the master soul and the living soul.

The Heavenly Venerable of Illusory Faces had devised a clever method to allow the master soul to release the living soul, preventing any accidental loss of control.

Lin Fan's fingertips moved lightly across his chest, lingering in his state of mind, a slight joy arising in his heart.

Suddenly, a coquettish reprimand echoed in his sea of consciousness: "Lin Fan, that's enough!"

With shyness and annoyance intertwined in her voice, Lin Chen finally spoke up.

Lin Fan froze, awkwardly pulling his hands back as he defended himself: "I was just… getting a feel for it."

As soon as Lin Fan retreated, Lin Chen's voice sounded again: "If you act like this again, I will immediately take back control of the body. You want to come out later? Forget it! Hurry up and do your tasks; I have only just assumed a human form, how can I allow it to be easily damaged? By the way—my sister, Sect Master Qi Meng, you are not allowed to touch her; as for the others, do as you please."

"Alright!" Lin Fan replied with a laugh, rolling out of bed, putting on the clothes of a Personal Disciple, and quietly went downstairs.

Upon reaching the ground floor, he saw Fairy Qimeng sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Although she had deliberately restrained her aura, she still sensed the sound of Lin Fan's footsteps; she gently opened her autumn-like eyes and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are awake."

Lin Chen, using Lin Fan's body, bowed slightly and replied in a soft voice: "Sister, good morning."

Her voice was soft and melodious, like the first chirping of an oriole, clear and moving.

Sect Master Qi Meng's smile did not fade as she said: "Alright, there is no need for such formalities. Come and look at this."

She took a scroll and handed it to Lin Chen, saying: "This is the 'Clear Water Technique'. Last night in the hot spring, you were not proficient in controlling water; this technique will help you move freely underwater without any worries."

Lin Chen took it and was just about to express her thanks when she heard Sect Master Qi Meng's tone shift, laughing lightly: "Of course, if you prefer the method from last night, I don't mind continuing to assist you."

Her gaze flickered, landing on Lin Chen's red lips, as if recalling the softness of their contact last night.

Lin Chen's ears flushed red, and she chided softly: "Sister, please don't mention that…"

"Fine, I won't mention it. It's just that sometimes you should follow your heart and not be so reserved."

Within the spiritual consciousness, Lin Fan looked at the Cultivation Technique in his hand with disdain: "Just this?"

"A mere Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, and she treats it like a treasure? I am someone who possesses a Heaven Rank secret technique; this thing—is useless!"

Lin Chen rolled her eyes: "Shut up, hurry and think of a way to earn merit points."

"I reckon if your sister truly falls in love, and you win her over, wouldn't merit points come rolling in? Look at those picturesque brows and eyes, skin whiter than snow, and that wonderful figure. Tsk tsk—"

Lin Chen retorted like the wind: "That is my sister, of course she is the most beautiful; she even kissed me, and it was soft, smooth, and fragrant. You, don't even think about it, you couldn't even get a kiss!"

Lin Fan smacked his lips and helplessly fell silent: "Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

Lin Chen put away the 'Clear Water Technique' and looked up, saying softly: "Sister, I want to go out for a walk."

Sect Master Qi Meng gently advised: "Take it slow on the road, take this so you don't get lost."

She flicked her fingertips, and a topographical map and a course schedule drifted into Lin Chen's arms.

The nine palaces and sixteen courtyards were clearly visible on the map, and the course schedule detailed the daily major and elective arrangements.

The major subjects were the foundation of the Qin Sect, while electives could be chosen according to interest.

Only Lin Chen received special treatment from Sect Master Qi Meng, allowing her to arrange her own schedule without any time constraints.

Lin Fan looked at the course schedule, his thoughts racing, and suddenly smiled.

"This course is not just a tool for Cultivate, but also a good opportunity to get close to her."

His gaze fell on the "Spiritual Sound Therapy" section.

"Instructor Liu Qingwan… is exactly the person I want to get close to."

He smiled slightly, nodded to Sect Master Qi Meng to say goodbye, and stepped toward the Heavenly Sound Courtyard.

The Heavenly Sound Courtyard was located in the southeast of the sixteen courtyards, surrounded by rustling emerald bamboos, quiet and elegant.

In the lecture hall, zither stands were lined up, spiritual lamps glowed softly, and the environment was warm and harmonious.

Lin Fan stepped into the hall, where several Disciples were already present.

At a glance, he recognized one of them—Princess Hu Qinlan.
