Chapter 189 | Feeding the Verdant Flame*

Chapter 189: 189 | Feeding the Verdant Flame*

The private chamber remained quiet.

Elder Liu was still on her knees in front of Lin Tian. Her emerald robes had loosened from earlier movement, and her hands clung to the edge of his clothing as if letting go would leave her adrift.

The residual heat of the Earth-Fire furnace lingered in the air, yet the stronger warmth now came from the man standing before her.

Lin Tian looked down at her without hurry.

Elder Liu’s breathing was uneven. The emptiness in her Dantian had not faded since she sent the talisman. If anything, his presence made it sharper.

The Irresistible Yang Scent around him sank into her exhausted meridians and pulled at every restless part of her body.

She did not wait for a command.

Her trembling fingers moved to his robes and loosened them with careful, almost reverent motions. When she freed him, the dense heat of his Primordial Yang Essence rose between them at once. Elder Liu’s eyes softened with open need.

She leaned forward and took him into her mouth.

The first taste drew a muffled sound from her throat. Soft. Hungry. Her lips closed around him with devoted care as she began to move, slow at first, then deeper.

The emptiness inside her seemed to ease the moment his Yang presence filled her senses. Her hands rested on his thighs for balance while she served him with complete focus.

Lin Tian rested one hand in her hair.

He did not force her pace. He only guided her lightly, letting her devotion show on its own. Elder Liu took him deeper, eyes half-lidded, throat working as she tried to draw more of that soothing heat into herself.

Wet sounds filled the quiet chamber. Every time she pulled back for breath, a thin strand of saliva connected her lips to him before she leaned in again.

"Mmm..."

The soft sound escaped her without shame.

Her exhausted body responded faster than her thoughts. Heat gathered low in her abdomen. Her thighs pressed together as a familiar wetness spread between them.

The proud posture of a Core Formation Matriarch was gone. In its place was only a woman feeding on the one source that could calm the restless hollow inside her.

Lin Tian’s fingers moved slowly through her hair.

"Your flames quiet the moment you take me," he said, voice low and calm. "Look at how quickly that emptiness softens."

Elder Liu shivered hard around him.

The truth in his words struck deeper than any harsh command. She moaned softly and took him farther, as if trying to prove how much she needed it. Her tongue pressed along his length with devoted attention.

Her free hand clutched his robe tightly while her body leaned closer, seeking more contact, more heat, more of him.

For a time there was only the sound of her service and the faint crackle of dying furnace embers.

When Lin Tian finally guided her back, a thin trail left her lips. Elder Liu remained on her knees, breathing quickly, eyes glassy with need. The oral service had eased the edge of her craving, yet the deeper hollow in her Dantian still pulsed unsatisfied.

She looked up at him.

"Master... it is not enough."

Her voice was raw.

"My meridians are still empty. Please... fill me properly. Nourish my flames."

Lin Tian reached down and lifted her from the floor with ease. Elder Liu offered no resistance. She clung to him as he carried her to the profound-ice slab near the side of the chamber.

The cold surface met her back through the thin layers of her robes, making her gasp, but even that chill could not suppress the heat building inside her.

He pulled the remaining fabric from her body and left her bare beneath him.

In the dim furnace light her mature figure trembled with anticipation. Sweat from earlier refinement still faintly marked her skin.

Her breasts rose and fell with each unsteady breath. Between her thighs she was already slick, the clear sign of how far her body had fallen into dependence.

Lin Tian settled between her legs and pressed the thick heat of his Primordial Yang Essence against her entrance.

Elder Liu’s hands gripped his shoulders at once.

"Please..."

He pushed into her in one deep, controlled thrust.

"Ahhh...!"

Her back arched against the slab. Her inner walls clenched tightly around him as he filled her to the base. The sudden invasion of pure Yang energy rushed straight into her drained meridians, spreading soothing warmth through pathways that had felt hollow for days.

Elder Liu’s mouth opened in a broken moan while her legs wrapped around his waist by instinct.

Lin Tian did not rush.

He drew back slowly, letting her feel every inch, then drove in again with steady force.

*Smack.*

*Smack.*

*Smack.*

The sound of their bodies meeting filled the sealed chamber. Each thrust pushed more of his heavy Yang essence deeper into her core.

Elder Liu’s exhausted foundation drank it in greedily. The fatigue that had weighed down her limbs began to melt under the invading heat.

"Haaah... Master... so deep..."

Her voice broke between moans.

"It is filling me... my flames... they are waking..."

Lin Tian braced one hand beside her head and used the other to grip her hip, angling her body so every stroke reached farther.

His pace remained controlled, but the weight behind each movement made it impossible for her to escape the intensity. The Primordial Yin-Yang Synergy between them stirred strongly.

Her refined Yin energy rose in response and intertwined with his Yang, creating a circulating heat that spread from her Dantian outward through every meridian.

Elder Liu’s nails dragged lightly across his back.

"Yes... like that... do not stop..."

Her words dissolved into softer, wetter sounds as his rhythm deepened. Longer waves of sensation rolled through her body, followed by sharp bursts each time he buried himself fully.

The profound-ice slab beneath her no longer felt cold. All she could feel was the life-giving fire pouring into her exhausted Core.

Lin Tian leaned closer, his voice near her ear.

"Take it all. Let your flames feed."

"I am... I am taking it..." Elder Liu sobbed in pleasure. "Master’s fire... only Master’s fire..."

Her devotion spilled freely with every breath. There was no calculation left in her. No status. No chamber hierarchy.

Only the need to be filled and the relief of finally receiving what her body had craved since she finished the last pill batch.

The dual cultivation intensified.

Lin Tian’s thrusts grew heavier. Elder Liu met them as best she could, lifting her hips, clinging tighter, moaning without restraint. Sweat slicked their skin. The sealed air of the chamber grew hotter from the exchange of their energies.

Each deep stroke sent another rush of Primordial Yang Essence into her foundation, and each time her Verdant Flame responded with a brighter pulse.

When her peak finally arrived, Elder Liu cried out and locked around him.

Her inner walls spasmed hard, pulling him deeper as pleasure tore through her exhausted body. Lin Tian drove in fully and released, flooding her Dantian with dense Yang essence. The surge sank straight into her Core and spread outward in waves of soothing, nourishing heat.

For several long breaths neither of them moved.

Elder Liu lay beneath him with her arms still wrapped around his shoulders, chest rising and falling in uneven rhythm. The hollow sensation that had tormented her was gone. In its place, warmth filled her meridians.

Her Verdant Flame Physique, dim and strained only a short while ago, now burned with renewed vitality. The fire inside her felt alive again, stable and bright.

Lin Tian remained deep within her until the strongest waves passed. Then he shifted only enough to ease part of his weight while still keeping her close.

Elder Liu turned her face into his chest.

"Tournament is close..." she whispered, voice soft and spent. "Without your fire, my flame does not stay steady for long. I need this. I need you."

Her fingers curled weakly against his skin.

In the quiet that followed, a faint system notice passed across Lin Tian’s vision.

[Target 4 (Elder Liu) Obsession Level: 80% → 85%]

[Verdant Flame Physique nourished. Exhaustion relieved.]

Lin Tian rested one hand on the back of her head in calm acceptance.

The sealed chamber held only their breathing and the fading heat of dual cultivation. Outside, Alchemy Peak remained unaware. Inside, the Matriarch who refined pills for the entire sect lay openly dependent in his arms, her body recharged and her craving temporarily satisfied.

Yet even in satisfaction, her arms did not loosen.

She had been filled.

And she already knew the emptiness would return if he stayed away too long.
