Chapter 1284: 42. Underhanded Methods

First came the cold.

Then the heat.

Ice and fire, two extremes at once!

Muen threw his head back, his entire body trembling, even his hips instinctively thrusting upward. Caught completely off guard, a certain girl let out a hurried whimper, but before she could expose her identity, she quickly forced it back down.

That alone nearly made Muen admit defeat and surrender.

It had to be said, a method of alternating heat and cold that could even shatter stubborn mountain stone was enough to make even the current Muen suffer badly if he had no psychological warning beforehand!

"Well?"

There was a trace of excitement in Anna's voice as well. Apparently, seeing Muen suffer like this had raised her own spirits considerably.

"Can junior figure it out this time? A friendly reminder—if you guess wrong even once, all the rewards you've earned so far will be wiped clean."

Unfair......

The accusation almost slipped straight out of Muen's mouth, but he immediately realized that right now he was nothing more than a fish on the chopping block.

He had absolutely no room to bargain.

He could practically imagine the wicked villainous expressions these shameless temptresses were wearing at this very moment!"

Rather than give them an excuse to raise the stakes even further, he might as well overwhelm them with his own ability!

Calm down.^

Calm down.^

Muen continued taking deep breaths. While suppressing sensations even more stimulating than an electric current, he kept analyzing the situation in his mind..

First, Anna was talking to him, so she could be eliminated.

That meant he now had to choose between An, Liya, and Ariel./

And none of the other three made a sound.

Clearly, they also knew that giving him any auditory clues would help guide his judgment.

So how was he supposed to distinguish between the three of them?*

What differences were there when they did this kind of thing?

Thinking carefully, as a relatively special kind of erotic game, the greatest difference would naturally be skill......

But when all of them already had a certain amount of experience, if no particularly difficult technique was being used, how could skill alone possibly let him easily......

"Hiss! That hurts!"

Muen suddenly cried out in pain.,

Damn it, teeth!

Who was so careless that she actually......

Wait!/

The pain did not trouble Muen for long.

A flash of realization immediately burst through his mind!

"Ariel! It's Ariel!"

Among An, Liya, and Ariel, the only one clumsy enough to accidentally scrape him with her teeth was Ariel, that little rookie!

And just now, she had even nearly exposed herself by making a sound when his sudden movement caught her off guard.

That only further proved how inexperienced she was in this regard!

So......

It absolutely had to be her!

"Tch."

The wonderful wet heat withdrew, replaced by an unwilling click of the tongue.

"Damn it, how did you guess so quickly? I even deliberately studied Liya's technique!"

"Hmph. Isn't it just because you're too weak, Ariel?"

Liya let out a disdainful little snort from beside her.

"You still leave so much outside. How could you possibly have learned my technique completely?"

"That's because you're too horny!"

"You're the horny one, you shameless slut!"

"Yaaah......damn you! Want me to teach you a lesson?"

"Come on, who's afraid of you?"

"Take this!"

"......"

Muen had no idea whether Ariel and her once-most-beloved childhood sweetheart had actually started fighting, but either way, he let out another breath of relief.

Another successful pass.

Clearing the rounds one after another had allowed him to continuously accumulate experience.

He had also figured something out.

The farther the game progressed, the easier it became to identify them.

There were only four people in total.

Every time he correctly identified one, even if he simply guessed at random among those remaining, his odds of getting it right rose dramatically.

With all these factors combined, Muen felt his confidence swelling more and more.

Wasn't this supposed to test his love?

Perfect.

He would let these little temptresses understand that his love was absolutely unshakable!

He might be a blond-haired villain......

But he was still a blond-haired villain devoted to pure love!

He had absolutely nothing to fear from the threats of these wicked women!

"Hah......hah......all right, next."

In an instant, that incomparably wonderful wet heat, like being enveloped inside a warm cavern, surrounded Muen once again, nearly melting both his body and soul.

The succession of wonderful sensations made it almost impossible to think.

He hurriedly suppressed the pleasure and forced his brain to start working again.

This time, Ariel was speaking.

She was panting heavily, as though she really had just gone through an intense battle.

But that did not prevent Muen from using the information she had inadvertently revealed to make a detailed analysis in advance.

First, if Ariel really had started fighting, then Liya should also have been panting.

If those two little shameless creatures fought, there was no way only Ariel, whose body was physically stronger, would be breathing heavily.

And Muen had not sensed any Holy Light either.

Yet this time, the warmth enveloping him carried extremely steady breathing.

Definitely not someone who had just undergone intense physical activity.

So Liya could be eliminated as well.

That left An and Anna.

And along with the warmth this time, Muen could also feel the soul-melting teasing movements of that little serpent.

This kind of little-devil offensive was worlds apart from Ariel's clumsy amateur technique.

Combined with the fact that Anna had suddenly stopped hosting and Ariel had taken over instead......

There was no need to overanalyze who it was this time.

It absolutely had to be......

"This time, I choose upp—"

The syllable had barely left his mouth with absolute confidence.

Then Muen suddenly felt everything tighten.

Hiss......

Even his soul seemed to let out a cry filled equally with pleasure and pain.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of danger exploded deep within his heart in a flash, brutally shattering the confidence that had just filled him.

Wrong!

Wrong!

Nine parts out of ten, something was wrong!

Was it really that simple?

Anna stopped speaking, so naturally it had to be her turn?

With her personality, would she really allow him to follow such an obvious line of reasoning and succeed so easily?

More importantly, the sensation coming from there felt just slightly unnatural.

That made everything seem more like a deliberately constructed false trail, designed specifically to make Muen lower his guard and then make the wrong choice while careless!

"It's not Anna!"

Muen abruptly came to his senses and changed his answer at the critical moment.

"It's An! This time it's An!"

That's right.

Anna was not the only one capable of deliberate teasing.

An could do it too.

The momentum from his previous train of thought had made him naturally think in that direction, and combined with the layers of traps they had laid, it had nearly delivered a fatal blow at this exact moment!

A truly fatal blow!

He had almost been finished right then and there!

"Oh my, you didn't fall for it?"

Anna's voice sounded again, full of regret.

"I thought junior would definitely fail this round."

"Pah......"

An spat out the sizable object and said coldly:

"I was just thinking that if Young Master answered incorrectly, I might become so overwhelmed with grief that I'd bite down directly."

"......"

Every hair on Muen's body stood on end as cold sweat broke out all over him.

"Don't say something that terrifying at a time like this......"

That had been close.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly enough to avoid the possibility of becoming a eunuch on the spot.

Though with his current regenerative ability, even if he did become one, he would probably be able to grow it back.

"Congratulations. Well done."

At this moment, Anna took the lead and began applauding.

"Our beloved Muen successfully survived two rounds, and got all four guesses correct. That completely exceeded my expectations."

"Does this prove how much I love all of you now?"

Muen asked hopefully.

He genuinely did not want to keep playing this game.

It was too dangerous.

Too terrifying.

Even though the wonderful sensations were indeed addictive, the sinister poison hidden beneath the sweet coating was even more frightening!

Compared with this, he would rather endure a brutal battlefield of jealousy!

"Not yet."

Anna laughed.

"There's still one final round."

"......"

Of course.

Although Muen had already anticipated this final round after surviving the first two, he still could not help sighing inwardly.

What had to come would come.

Or rather......

Compared with the first two rounds, this final round was probably the true main event.

"All the rules remain the same. If my dear junior guesses wrong even once, every reward you've earned before this will be completely erased, and you'll have to accept punishment instead. So......you'd better think very carefully from here on. Consider that your upperclassman's thoughtful advice."

"Thank you so much."

Muen was so moved he practically had "tears streaming down his face."

"No need to thank me. You're my beloved junior, after all. Here we go."

The carriage fell silent once again.

Muen could clearly feel a presence drawing closer and closer.

But under all the layers of isolation and suppression, he had no way of knowing who the other person was.

She did not even deliberately press her body against him, preventing him from obtaining even the slightest useful clue from differences in body weight.

Apparently, he was not the only one constantly learning and improving.

At this moment, Muen could only vaguely sense the other person moving above him.

Then, accompanied by hot breath, she slowly......

"Mm......"

Muen could not suppress a soft sound from escaping his nose.

That exquisite, perfectly fitting sensation was completely different from the previous two rounds.

It almost immediately sent him straight toward heaven.

The earlier games had indeed been dangerous, but they had also continuously stimulated him.

Those brief tastes had already pushed his endurance to the very edge.

And now, with the true main event beginning, the experience it brought Muen went far beyond anything he had imagined!

No!

He had to stay calm.

Muen bit the tip of his tongue, forcibly pulling himself away from the overwhelming pleasure.

He could not lose himself in it.

And he absolutely could not follow the other person's rhythm.

Once he completely lost his ability to judge, it would all be over.

That was precisely what made this round so difficult.

The more wonderful the experience became, the more of a person's ability to think it stripped away.

"Hurry up and guess. This round has a time limit too."

The one speaking was Ariel.

Muen immediately felt a little regretful.

Ariel, that little rookie with more enthusiasm than skill, had surprisingly not rushed to go first at a time like this.

If it had been her, she probably would have been very easy to identify.

So once again, he had to choose between An, Anna, and Liya.

Who was it?

Muen sank into thought.

Actually, purely in terms of distinguishing by touch, this round should have been the easiest.

Compared with the techniques in the first two rounds, which emphasized erotic teasing more heavily, this time the distance between them was closer than ever before.

And Muen was already intimately familiar with all the girls.

Normally, he absolutely should have been able to identify who was who through such close contact.

But......

"Hiss......damn it."

Muen could not help letting out an aggrieved growl.

Because he could feel that warm nest moving as though an earthquake were passing through it, every inch of it trembling and contracting in ways he had never experienced before!

Clearly, this was being done deliberately to prevent him from identifying her through past experience.

She was intentionally controlling the relevant muscles!

With their level of strength, something like that was naturally easy for them to accomplish!
