Lin Mo's words instantly cooled Diona's feverish body.

That's right...

This boy had just gone through an agonizing separation and loss.

Facing him like this—Diona, oh Diona, you lewd... Just what are you thinking with that brain full of ** fluids?!!

At this thought, Diona felt even more ashamed. With heavy steps, she slowly walked toward Lin Mo.

"If you want to cry, just let it out."

She said gently, "I'm here. I'll stay with you."

"Sister Diona—"

Lin Mo buried his face into Diona's voluptuous embrace.

He shed tears indiscriminately into the valley between her breasts, pressing his body against hers, hoping to quickly arouse this girl's lust.

But the more he did this, the more Diona could only continue to suppress her desires.

(Form is emptiness, emptiness is form...)

(Lin Mo trusts me. I can't let him down! I'm a mature girl now; I must shelter the boy I fancy from the storms!)

She held Lin Mo lightly, her rough palm gently stroking his back.

"Cry it out."

She said, "Let it all out. Whatever grievances and pain you have, keep venting them like this..."

...

It would have been better if she hadn't said that.

But once she showed such tenderness, Lin Mo truly broke down.

All the agony of watching his companions die miserably before his eyes surged up from the bottom of his heart. This made Lin Mo hug Diona tightly with genuine emotion, burying his face in her chest as he sobbed aloud.

He kept crying like that for fifteen minutes.

As a result, by the time all the stress was truly vented, the atmosphere in the room had become so warm and wholesome that there was no way it could develop into any lewd scenario anymore.

"Until you figure out where to go, just stay here and live with me."

Diona repeated herself.

"I'll sleep on the sofa from now on, and you can take my usual bed. Well, it's a bit messy and dirty... but once it's cleaned up, it's quite a nice little room!"

"I can sleep on the sofa." Lin Mo pulled away from her, wiping his tears with the back of his hand.

As an assassin, his performance just now was truly embarrassing...

"That won't do." Diona laughed out loud. "Hey now, I'm a girl, after all. How could I let you sleep on the sofa alone?"

"Then... could we sleep in the bed together?" (Lin Mo)

After calming down slightly, Lin Mo launched another offensive.

He was convinced that this girl definitely had those kinds of thoughts about him.

"Ah, uh... w-well, we could, but—"

Diona's mind went completely blank.

Once again, a battle erupted inside her head. Only this time, the two sides styled themselves as an "Angel" and a "Demon."

Demon: Hmm, this can totally be taken as a sexual invitation.

Angel: He might as well have said, "Please bear my child!" directly.

Demon: If you don't make a move at this point, you're unworthy of being a woman.

Angel: True. Even if the situation isn't right to push him down immediately, by tonight you'll definitely be able to do it.

Having reached a consensus, the Angel and the Demon shook hands inside Diona's brain to express their camaraderie.

"............"

Right?

Absolutely, absolutely right! This is definitely a hint that I can do whatever I want with him!!

Diona swallowed nervously.

Finally, she decided...

"Ah, ahaha. W-well then. You're right, after going through so much, it's natural to be a little scared..."

"B-but listen! I'll be lying right outside on the sofa! I can guarantee your safety completely; absolutely no danger will enter this house—A-after all, I'm the strongest warrior here! So, just sleep peacefully in the room tonight! No problem!! Nothing will happen!"

Diona chickened out.

Angel: Tch. Useless.

Demon: Pfft. Useless.

(I-I couldn't help it!!!)

(I'm still just an immature virgin; I've never experienced such a dizzying romantic opportunity before!!)

Diona's heart roared.

(Whether it is or isn't, waa... so this situation might totally not mean that at all. After all, Lin Mo did say he's a virgin too. If he claims to be a virgin, then he must mean it literally; he definitely doesn't mean to seduce me or imply that I can do whatever I want to him!)

(N-not yet. If I agree directly, I'll definitely turn into a beast in the room tonight!)

(If I attack him, I'll be hated. Even though he's a beautiful boy totally to my taste, I'd still end up being hated. I don't dare take that gamble!!)

Angel: Tch. Trash is trash.

Demon: Pfft. No matter how you explain it, you're still trash.

...

Diona had no choice but to ignore the two voices still despising her.

She took a deep breath, trying to escape and cool her anxious, burning heart.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo was completely shocked by this incredibly serious response!

"............"

(H-huh?!)

(What's going on? Is this not a matriarchal world? Or does she think I'm actually some hideous monster?!)

(N-no way!! Absolutely impossible!)

(I, Lin Mo, am a beauty so stunning that if I cross-dressed, I could instantly outshine ninety-nine percent of women even after they've put on makeup!)

(Not to mention that scumbag Rabbit God gave me a passive skill called 'Universal Charm'.)

(Me! Even in my previous world, I was an extraordinary existence constantly hinted at for illicit favors by female bosses and leaders!)

(You, a girl from a matriarchal world who clearly isn't some pure, straight-laced girl uninterested in the opposite sex—how dare you ignore the charm of Lord Lin Mo?!!)

The more he thought about it, the angrier Lin Mo became.

He couldn't tolerate Diona's current behavior at all. Even if she were a girl as simple and upright as Liu Xiahui, he was determined to make her pounce on him!

"Ah, ah... Thank you so much, Sister Diona."

Saying this, Lin Mo once again let a mist of tears well up in his eyes.

He had observed Diona carefully. Her attitude toward him wasn't disinterest or disgust at all; she definitely had thoughts!

Maybe even super intense thoughts!!

In that case, as long as he kept up the relentless offensive, he would definitely tear off this hypocrite's mask, provoke her sadistic urges, and make this girl pounce right on him to ravage his body!

Lin Mo pursed his lips, lowering his gaze slightly. At this moment, he had come to see Diona as an enemy of his pride.

And when facing an enemy, he always went all out.

"I truly have no way to repay your great kindness..."

Saying this, Lin Mo directly hugged Diona's arm.

He pressed his body forward, attempting to directly ignite the lust deep within her heart through slight contact with the girl's sexy body and perky chest.

"Really. So..."

He looked up, fully displaying an expression as if he were already captivated by her.

Lin Mo's face was flushed, his eyes brimming with affection, and his trembling lips made it look as though he were struggling to suppress some emotion he desperately wanted to confess.

However, all of this was merely an act.
