Chapter 196 - Chapter 196: Roxy's Snuggle

At this moment, Dan Feng was immersed in the world of the Insight Space, facing a pincer attack from both Jingliu and Blade. His situation was extremely difficult.

The swordsmanship of the two was strikingly similar. Even facing Jingliu alone was already hard for Dan Feng to handle, let alone simultaneously dealing with attacks from both.

However, he showed no sign of retreating. Gritting his teeth, he exerted all his strength to block their fierce onslaught with his sword and his sturdy body while seeking opportunities to counterattack.

At the same time, Roxy gently pushed open the door to Dan Feng's room.

Her aqua-blue eyes, clear as a lake, immediately spotted Dan Feng sitting quietly in the chair.

At this moment, Dan Feng's eyes were tightly closed. His originally cool face was now like a deep, still pool—utterly without ripples.

The room was exceptionally quiet, with only the faint sound of Dan Feng's breathing coming from his nose.

In truth, while immersed in the Insight Space, Dan Feng was not completely unaware of the outside world. He was fully conscious of Roxy's arrival.

However, at this moment, he simply had no spare attention for external events—his entire focus was on resisting the relentless assault from Jingliu and Blade.

Roxy walked slowly and lightly over to Dan Feng's side.

"Dan Feng~ What are you doing?" She gazed at his expressionless profile. Seeing no reaction from him, curiosity stirred in her heart.

So she carefully extended her fair, jade-like little hand and gently poked Dan Feng's cheek.

Dan Feng's skin was smooth and delicate, like clear lake water—undoubtedly thanks to his current Vidyadhara identity.

Though not yet a complete Vidyadhara, he had already reached the level of "Dan Feng."

After all, the Vidyadhara were descendants of the undying and were naturally blessed with enviably perfect skin. With the help of his template, Dan Feng was naturally no exception.

"Hm?" Roxy suddenly let out a puzzled sound. She looked at Dan Feng in confusion—his eyes were tightly shut, as if he had fallen asleep.

What was even more surprising was that Dan Feng was sleeping while sitting!

She had never seen Dan Feng sleep sitting up before. This peculiar sleeping posture was something Roxy was seeing for the first time.

But Roxy quickly came to terms with it.

After all, Dan Feng wasn't from this world—he had many unique traits.

In Roxy's eyes, everything Dan Feng did felt both distinctive and perfectly natural.

With that thought, Roxy couldn't help but stare blankly at Dan Feng's face.

His features were sharply defined. Beneath his tall, straight nose bridge, his expression was almost always blank when Roxy wasn't around.

The longer she looked, the more a blush crept across Roxy's cheeks.

Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. A thought flashed through her mind: "Mm... I could try it."

So Roxy carefully climbed onto Dan Feng's closed legs, then gently pressed her face against his broad and solid chest.

She could clearly feel the strong rhythm of Dan Feng's heartbeat—like drumbeats pounding against her eardrums again and again.

Roxy quietly listened to Dan Feng's heartbeat, feeling the warmth of his body, and slowly immersed herself in this moment of tranquility.

Even if Dan Feng suddenly woke up, she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

After all, they were lovers—they had already kissed and shared intimate contact. An action like this was really nothing major between them.

And so, Roxy stayed curled against Dan Feng's chest like an obedient kitten, letting time flow slowly in this peaceful instant.

Sensing the external contact, Dan Feng could no longer focus on learning swordsmanship in the Insight Space. After dodging Jingliu's icy crescent sword qi, he thrust the iron sword in his hand into his own heart, exiting the Insight Space.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze.

Roxy quietly nestled in Dan Feng's embrace, feeling the warmth of his body and his unique scent.

This feeling intoxicated her—she couldn't pull herself away.

Dan Feng's body exuded a reassuring aura, as if the entire world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Roxy's breathing gradually steadied, her consciousness beginning to blur, but she didn't want to sleep—she simply wanted to remain immersed in this beautiful moment, fully savoring the quiet warmth.

After an unknown amount of time, Dan Feng's consciousness slowly returned to his body.

Before he even opened his eyes, he caught a faint fragrance—that unique scent belonging to Roxy.

It carried a milky sweetness mixed with other indescribable notes, filling Dan Feng with an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

He didn't rush to open his eyes. Instead, he gently extended his arms and slowly wrapped them around Roxy's body.

However, the moment Dan Feng's arms touched her, Roxy suddenly jolted awake as if shocked by electricity.

Her gaze fell on the arm now encircling her, and the blush on her face instantly deepened several shades—even the ahoge on her head began swaying nonstop.

(She had no idea why the ahoge was swaying.)

Roxy felt a bit flustered. She slowly lifted her head to look at Dan Feng's face.

Dan Feng's eyes were still tightly closed, as if he were still asleep.

In that moment, Roxy understood: Dan Feng must have woken up but wanted to hold her a little longer—so he had wrapped his arms around her.

Thus, Roxy made no attempt to escape Dan Feng's embrace.

On the contrary, she felt this moment was wonderful and didn't want to leave it.

So she gently rested her head against Dan Feng's chest once more, continuing to enjoy this rare tranquility together with him.

The two of them simply felt each other's heartbeat and scent, silently savoring the embrace of their beloved.

...

Meanwhile, upstairs at this time.

"Mm~ At the place of your desire, grant the vast protection of water. At this moment, let the cool, murmuring flow gather here."

"Waterball Technique!"

Shana had already practiced many times, yet the mana in her body surprisingly hadn't run out. This made even Bloody Kant realize that Shana was a highly promising candidate to become a mage!

In this world, aside from those who possessed the Laplace Factor—who experienced slow mana growth in childhood before eventually gaining vast reserves—everyone else's total mana capacity was fixed from birth.

Therefore, individuals with exceptionally large mana pools were extremely rare—roughly one in several thousand people might possess such abundant mana.

From this, it was clear that Shana, as a member of the beast race, possessed considerable talent as a mage!
