Michael was immersed in his cultivation, fully aware of everything happening outside.
The spiritual sense inherent in the Yin Yang Harmony Manual allowed him to clearly "see" every move of the girl next door.
Feeling Gwen being drawn by his aura, even walking to the wall, Michael's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.
As expected of the Harmony Sect's supreme secret manual, even a trace of its diffused aura held an irresistible allure for an innocent maiden.
However, he did not immediately stop cultivating.
Firstly, restoring his strength was the top priority;
Secondly, he also wanted to see how resistant people in this World were to this kind of attraction originating from the essence of life.
Time passed by minute by minute.
On the other side of the wall, Gwen's breathing gradually became a little hurried, and her fair cheeks were flushed with an alluring crimson.
The peculiar fragrance grew increasingly intense, as if transforming into invisible tentacles, gently entwining around her, stirring the deepest desires within her heart.
Reason told her this was strange and she should leave.
But her body completely disobeyed, instead yearning even more to get closer to the source of the fragrance.
She could even vaguely feel that on the other side of the wall, there seemed to be a huge vortex, emitting a fatal attraction, making her want to throw herself into it regardless of everything.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Finally, instinct triumphed over reason.
Gwen heard her own heart pounding wildly, and... a knock at the door?
Wait, was she knocking on the door?
She knocked on the neighbor's door!
Michael slowly ceased his cultivation, drawing that wisp of pure True Qi into his Dantian.
The alluring aura emanating from his body also largely receded, leaving only a faint, lingering scent, like the fragrance of orchids in a valley after rain, even more captivating.
He got up and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beautiful girl.
It was Gwen Stacy.
At this moment, her eyes were a little hazy, her cheeks flushed, her chest rising and falling slightly, and her emerald green eyes seemed veiled with a mist of Water, staring directly at Michael.
"Hi..." Gwen's voice was a little airy, carrying a hint of coyness she didn't even realize, "I... I think I smell something... a very fragrant smell..."
Michael looked at the girl before him.
He had to admit, the beauties of this World also had a unique charm.
Blonde hair, fair skin, delicate features, especially those long legs, shapely and straight, full of youthful vitality.
"Is that so?" Michael smiled slightly. This smile, like a spring breeze, carried a heart-stirring charm. "Perhaps I just lit some Oriental incense."
His voice was warm and pleasant, like the clinking of jade, and when it reached Gwen's ears, her body trembled slightly, feeling that longing intensify.
Especially at close range, the faint, almost body-like scent emanating from Michael made her head spin, and she just wanted to... get closer to him.
"Can I... can I come in and sit?" Gwen blurted out almost unconsciously, only realizing what she had said afterward, her cheeks instantly turning crimson as if about to drip blood.
Oh my God! Gwen Stacy! What are you doing?!
A hint of a smile flashed in Michael's eyes as he stepped aside: "Of course, please come in."
Gwen almost stumbled in, her legs moving in an uncoordinated manner.
The room was small and simply furnished, but very tidy.
However, upon entering this space, the alluring aura that had unsettled her seemed to grow even more intense.
Gwen felt her body getting hotter and hotter, her breathing becoming more difficult. Looking at Michael's impossibly handsome face and his deep, seemingly soul-absorbing eyes, she completely lost the ability to think.
"You..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat dry.
Michael simply watched her quietly, his gaze calm, yet carrying an understanding that saw through everything.
He knew that the Harmony Sect's cultivation method's attraction to the opposite sex was etched at a soul level, especially with his intentional or unintentional guidance.
Gwen's body swayed slightly, her eyes completely unfocused, leaving only the most primitive instinct.
She walked towards Michael step by step, as if pulled by invisible strings.
Finally, she stopped in front of Michael.
Then, under Michael's gaze, the girl stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her soft, fragrant body tightly against him.
Warm, soft jade, actively embracing him.
Michael felt the girl's innocence and trembling in his arms, as well as the pure Yin energy of an untouched maiden, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
The Yin Yang Harmony Manual... seemed to have found its optimal cauldron.
He reached out and gently wrapped his arm around the girl's slender waist.
Inside the room, the temperature suddenly rose.
An ambiguous fragrance filled the air, and the girl's gasps were like broken Qin notes, intermittent whimpers laced with tears.
Michael felt the pure Yin essence surge into his body, merging with and strengthening his Harmony True Qi. Simultaneously, he fed a portion of pure energy back to the girl in his arms, nourishing her body and awakening her hidden, unknown powers.
Gwen felt as if she was floating on clouds, yet also drowning in the deep sea. An unprecedented, extreme pleasure assaulted her nerves, making her whole body tremble, her consciousness blurred.
