Chapter 564: Chapter 266: Feney Grabbed the Handle

"What’s wrong? Can’t sleep again?"

Lin Mo asked with concern.

Feney had come to him like this once before, not long after they had left Silver Stream City.

"Um..."

Feney seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, unable to get the words out, her face turned bright red, and she just nodded.

"Then come in."

Lin Mo stepped aside, letting Feney into the room.

Feney placed her pillow on the bed. Seeing the two pillows lying side-by-side, her breathing grew a little ragged.

"Have you bathed?"

"Ah!"

Feney’s reaction was surprisingly strong. After a small cry of surprise, she nodded and said in a faint voice, "I have."

"Then let’s get some rest."

Lin Mo said as he lay down on the bed.

Feney also took off her shoes and socks and slipped under the covers.

The warmth made her body feel limp and weak.

The Magic Energy Lamp was turned off, plunging the room into darkness. The dark helped her tense feelings gradually subside, and she turned on her side to look at Lin Mo, who was lying flat on his back.

A little closer... and a little closer...

His scent wafted over, making her heart tremble uncontrollably.

It was a warm scent, like sunshine.

Just as she had the other day, Feney gathered her courage and leaned against him. At this distance, she could clearly hear his heartbeat.

BA-DUMP—BA-DUMP—

It was a little too calm.

The girl curled up, feeling her own chaotic heartbeat and ragged breathing, and was suddenly a bit disappointed.

’Should I be braver? Like Sister Shefilya said, just go for it...’

’But how could I possibly do something like that?!’

Looking at Lin Mo, who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, Feney ultimately didn’t have the courage. But she was also a little unwilling to give up.

So, her little head peeked out from under the covers. Seeing his face just inches away, she slowly leaned in.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface, her lips brushed against his handsome, well-defined cheek and retreated instantly.

This feeling of doing something naughty gave Feney, who had been a good girl her whole life, a strange thrill.

It was as if Pandora’s box had been opened. Curiosity, excitement, shyness, guilt—a mixture of emotions made it increasingly difficult for her to control her actions.

So the girl struck again, her cherry-pink lips gently pressing against the corner of his mouth.

That magical, electric sensation made her mind go completely blank.

Her body involuntarily went limp. The arm supporting her on the bed suddenly lost its strength, and she collapsed on top of Lin Mo.

Feney raised her head in a panic. Only when she saw Lin Mo’s eyes were still closed did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at that very moment, those eyes suddenly opened.

In the darkness, his black eyes met Feney’s light purple pupils, his gaze holding a hint of playful amusement.

"In the middle of the night, why is a little greedy cat sneaking a snack?"

"Mr... Mr. Lin Mo..."

Feney began to tremble, completely at a loss. Like a child caught doing something wrong, she lowered her head, her whole body stiffening.

"I’m sorr— Mph?!"

She subconsciously started to apologize, but Lin Mo reached out, wrapped his arm around her slender neck, and applied gentle pressure.

His breath, just inches away, left Feney completely stunned. A "jolt" even more intense than before shot through her nerves.

Her breathing became ragged. After several minutes of complete bewilderment, her consciousness finally reconnected with her brain.

And then, as if she decided to throw caution to the wind, all the shyness and nervousness seemed to vanish in an instant.

In its place was an unexpected proactiveness.

But Feney was, after all, still Feney.

Even if she had suddenly broken through her mental blocks, completely casting aside her timidity and weakness, she was still that same sweet-natured, golden little cake.

Everything Sister Shefilya had taught her was quickly thrown to the back of her mind, leaving her to just go with the flow...

[Shared Cultivation] Skill Level +4

’It went up by 4 Skill Level points directly?’

Lin Mo was startled.

’This must be like a first-clear bonus in a game, right?’

With that, the [Shared Cultivation] Skill successfully reached Level 3.

"Skill [Shared Cultivation] Level 2 (20/20) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Shared Cultivation] Level 3 (0/40)"

"Obtained Basic Attribute Points: Constitution +2!"

Speaking of which, the attribute boosted by the Special Skill [Shared Cultivation] was also the Physique Attribute.

Lin Mo glanced at his attribute panel. He had only recently reached Level 5 as a Knight, and now his Basic Physique Attribute was already at 57. He was close to leveling up again.

Although he was tempted to test the effects of the Level 3 [Shared Cultivation], he decided to save it for later.

Feney had already fallen asleep.

Or rather, after the special state, which was like an adrenaline rush, had passed, she had fainted from shyness.

At this thought, Lin Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.

’What an adorable girl...’

----------

The next morning, when Lin Mo opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Shefilya’s pair of still, calm golden eyes.

But unlike when they first met, Lin Mo had long since become adept at reading her current emotions from those seemingly emotionless eyes.

For instance, right now, Shefilya’s mood was clearly one of relief, like watching a child she’d raised finally achieve something.

"Morning."

Lin Mo waved his hand in greeting.

"Good morning, my master."

The corners of Shefilya’s mouth actually curved up by about 0.5 degrees. It seemed she was in a very good mood.

As for how she got in... because of the little Maid’s rather special status, Lin Mo had already registered her information in his room’s facial recognition system.

He was quite confident in Shefilya. She wouldn’t be like the big bad wolf and sneak a snack in the middle of the night... right?
