Then with a gentle push, he pressed her back deeper inside…
…..
"My dinner's already been reserved."
Ye Li, keeping a calm expression, pressed on Jane's shoulder and pushed her body away from the tent, looking for all the world like a gentleman with morals.
Well… even if Crystalia hadn't been there.
The messy masculine smell clinging to Jane's body, and the faint dark patches peeking from under her collar, made it impossible for him to be interested…
If he didn't care for a famous reporter like Christine, who only slept with high-status men, then he certainly wasn't going to bother with this indiscriminate country girl Jane.
…..
"Hehe~"
Jane, however, was inexplicably confident. She giggled, "Mr. Ye, you're so shy. Don't tell me you've never had a girlfriend before? Even though you're this handsome…"
She had her reasons for thinking so—
—From Ye Li's eyes, she saw a spark of lust that couldn't quite be hidden.
And here, she was the only woman.
That could only mean he was interested in her, just too embarrassed to admit it.
…..
'Looks like he's a virgin… If I bag him, I'll have struck gold…'
Jane's gaze grew greedier. Tugging her neckline lower, she leaned in toward the tent again, whispering hotly, "I can teach you all sorts of fun things. You won't need to take responsibility. After tonight, we can pretend we never met~"
'Like I need you to teach me…'
Ye Li was about to harden his tone and throw this clueless woman out.
But just then—
The little princess let out a muffled whimper inside the tent, washing over him like relief, spreading through his body.
Ye Li's expression cooled. With a flick of his finger, Jane's body drifted back several meters. "Leave."
"You… you're not an ordinary person either?"
Jane was stunned at the display of power, so much so that she didn't even register the faint, muffled gasp of the girl within the tent.
But looking into Ye Li's eyes, she suddenly felt his desire had vanished, his expression now calm and flat.
She was about to press further, when a shout came from the Inhumans' side: "Jane, what's going on? Why so long?"
"Oh, nothing!" Jane quickly called back, straightened her clothes, and hurried over.
Since Ye Li had turned her down, she wasn't about to miss her chance to get closer with Karnak and the others.
Still—
Before leaving, Jane gave Ye Li one last smile. "If you change your mind, just come to my tent~"
Ye Li seemed to have powers like Gorgon and the rest, but without their freakish looks. She wasn't ready to let such a catch slip away.
If she could spend a night with him, maybe this little "virgin" would get hooked on her taste, and never want to leave her.
Who knew? Anything was possible.
With that thought, Jane moved back toward Karnak and his group.
She already had an idea of how to provoke Ye Li, to make him so jealous he wouldn't resist slipping into her tent later…
…..
"Drink up!"
Glasses clinked.
The three Inhumans and Jane drank until their faces were flushed red.
In the end—
They all bowed under this woman's denim jeans.
"You all wait here~"
Jane deliberately moved her tent closer to Ye Li's, then crawled inside first.
Karnak soon followed to rest.
Next came the hoof-footed Gorgon, shuffling in behind.
Gulp gulp…
Finally, the green-skinned Triton chugged down a big bottle of water to prepare himself for the night's "battle," before slowly zipping the tent shut.
Meanwhile, at a table in a dark corner some distance from the tents.
Reno sat quietly, glaring at Jane's bulging tent with eyes full of rage…
Nearby, the other male grower Ted lay dead, his bloody body stuffed into a shallow pit.
Click~!
Reno loaded his rebuilt revolver with golden bullets.
He was just waiting for dawn, for that bunch of scum to come out of the tent, to send them one by one to their graves!
…..
Inside the small tent.
"Mm…" Crystalia's eyes glistened with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.
Ye Li could only hold her tight, soothing softly, "Alright, it's not like you've lost your virginity. Why are you so upset?"
"It's basically the same thing, isn't it!"
The little princess wiped the corner of her mouth, looking utterly lifeless as she stared at Ye Li and demanded, "Tell me the truth! Do you just want to play with me..."
…..
"Of course not."
Ye Li wasn't stupid—of course he swore an oath now. "I'll take responsibility, Crystalia."
"You…" Crystalia, hearing him call her so intimately for the first time, felt her heart lift with a flicker of joy.
But she still worried, "But in the Inhuman royal family, we're only allowed to marry within the royals. What should I do?"
'Wow… I sweet-talk her a little and she's already thinking of marriage…'
Ye Li chuckled, then gently rubbed her snowy cheeks with affection, coaxing, "You don't need to follow them. Just do what makes you happy. Be a willful little princess."
In the original timeline, didn't she get together with that kid Pietro? And the Inhuman royal family didn't seem to object.
"Okay..." Crystal felt warm all over from Ye Li's coaxing, and even the shameful thing she'd just done for him with her mouth felt worth it.
Just then.
Outside the tent.
Jane's loud, ecstatic voice rang out.
The little princess froze.
Then—
Her face went crimson…
