Lin Xiu's movements were fluid and uninterrupted.

Lin Xiu dodged the goddess's kick by sidestepping, his arm coiling around Athena's defense like a snake, brushing past her while his fingertips casually brushed against her taut waist.

The touch was cool yet supple, the exquisite sensation of a goddess's skin traveling through my fingertips.

Athena's body trembled violently, as if struck by an electric current, and she panicked for a moment as the attack began.

Lin Xiu seized the opening, closed in on her, and delivered a heavy knee strike to her groin.

This wasn't a fatal blow, but it was enough to make her legs buckle, causing her to lose her balance and fall directly to the ground.

Given that Lin Xiu was a gentleman, he naturally chose to lend a helping hand to the fallen goddess. However, as he caught Athena's falling body, Lin Xiu casually put his arm around the goddess's waist and lifted her up.

The texture of the silk robe and the touch of the goddess combined to create a feeling of exhilaration for Lin Xiu.

"Hmph! I knew it!"

Athena was filled with shame and anger, her golden eyes almost spitting fire as she struggled to push Lin Xiu away.

However, Lin Xiu's strength was like an iron clamp, firmly holding her in his arms. Athena's struggles only gave Lin Xiu a stronger feeling of conquering the goddess.

"You...you've gone too far!" A strange sensation spread throughout her body, and in her shame and anger, Athena did something she would never normally do.

She grabbed Lin Xiu's shoulder and bit down!

Seeing that the goddess was getting anxious, Lin Xiu didn't want to provoke her too much. He loosened his grip, allowing Athena to break free from his control.

However, this is just the beginning.

But how could this be enough? In Lin Xiu's eyes, every part of Athena's body was perfect; how could he only focus on one part?

Soon, Lin Xiu's attacks were no longer limited to fatal blows, but turned into intense, playful, and provocative close-quarters contact.

Fingers traced along the ribs, palms massaged the waist and abdomen, and forearms flicked the armpits as they parried. Each touch precisely stimulated the most sensitive or most unspeakable parts of Athena's body, bringing a strange shiver that mixed pain and tingling.

As her contact with Lin Xiu became more frequent, Athena's breathing began to become erratic. However, the resentment in her eyes gradually mixed with a hint of imperceptible urgency.

The goddess Athena's struggles, which started with all her might, gradually weakened, and she would even occasionally let out a short gasp due to an overly stimulating friction.

She had never experienced a battle like this before. Every inch of the divine body that was touched was sending strange and dangerous signals to her brain.

Lin Xiu clearly sensed her change. He exerted his strength, pressing her completely down onto the cold ruins. His weight and strength completely overwhelmed her, their bodies pressed tightly together, able to feel each other's rapid heartbeats and burning body temperatures.

Athena wanted to say something more, but her purple eyes, representing the night, glared at Lin Xiu on top of her, filled with anger, humiliation, and a hint of... confusion and wavering that she herself didn't even realize.

Lin Xiu didn't give her a chance to speak. He lowered his head and domineeringly covered the goddess Athena's captivating red lips.

"Ugh...!" Athena's pupils suddenly contracted, and she struggled violently in disbelief. But her arms were firmly held down, her divine power was sealed, and most of her energy had been used up in the previous hand-to-hand combat, so all her struggles were in vain.

Athena's lips were cool and soft, carrying a divine, sweet scent.

Lin Xiu's kiss was passionate and aggressive, brooking no refusal and no questioning. As the victor, Lin Xiu recklessly seized the sweetness that belonged to the goddess of victory.

At first, Athena's resistance was resolute. She clenched her teeth, tried to turn her head away, and let out angry whimpers. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

But Lin Xiu possesses both superb skills and unwavering composure. Just like savoring the most precious wine, Lin Xiu chose to let Athena aerate the wine first, and then gradually taste its flavor.

Of course, in order to avoid Athena's resistance and interrupt his progress, Lin Xiu also used a special move.

The spiritual energy belonging to the True Crimson Dragon Emperor, with an aura surpassing that of a main god, instantly enveloped Lin Xiu's body completely.

【I--】

[The Second Heavenly Dragon Awakens to the Principle of Self-Determination and Domination]

[Endless scorn, endless worries and fantasies—]

I shall become the Crimson Dragon Overlord—and cast you into the Red Lotus Purgatory!

【Juggernaut-Drive!】

Having already begun to fuse with the Crimson Dragon Emperor's dragon soul, Lin Xiu is now even able to "awaken the Tyrant Dragon Mode without summoning the Tyrant Dragon Armor."

Of course, even without summoning the Dragon Armor, Lin Xiu's various normal offensive and defensive maneuvers had already reached the level of a sub-Dragon God.

In terms of physical offense and defense alone, Lin Xiu is almost no different from Lin Xiu after summoning the Tyrant Dragon Armor. The only difference is the cool armor and some skills that can only be used by summoning the dragon armor.

As for why Lin Xiu didn't summon his armor even though he had entered Tyrant Dragon Mode, the reason is quite simple... Lin Xiu doesn't have the habit of kissing others while wearing armor.

"Hmm? This is..."

Athena, who was gradually becoming engrossed in the moment, was suddenly awakened by Lin Xiu's change in power.

"It's nothing. I just used my true power to prevent the goddess from breaking free from my embrace." Lin Xiu said, while gently lifting the back of Athena's neck and tilting his head slightly to experience the goddess's touch from different angles and positions.

Athena is the most powerful woman Lin Xiu has ever kissed. Moreover, Lin Xiu had a great fondness for Athena even before he transmigrated, so he is now unusually infatuated with her.

After all, the goddess's charm was undeniable; even with strength comparable to Lin Xiu's, she could still exert a significant influence on him.

"Hmph~ Really? I have a feeling that you just want to show me your power so that I will willingly become your partner?"

Even so, Athena's tightly clenched jaw subtly loosened. Clearly, this was her response to Lin Xiu's actions.

It was precisely because Athena acknowledged Lin Xiu that she tacitly approved of his further intimate contact.

After absorbing Perseus's power, Lin Xiu's strength was considerable, but he hadn't yet fully caught Athena's eye. It could be said that until Lin Xiu displayed the evolved Holy Lance, Athena only considered him a potential collaborator, not an equal.

Later, Lin Xiu drew his evolved Holy Lance, directly elevating his strength to the level of a demigod. From that moment on, Athena began to take Lin Xiu seriously. Although he relied on a weapon, Lin Xiu indeed gained power comparable to her original form within her divine realm.

And then, here we are now.

Even without the weapon's enhancement, Lin Xiu's strength surpassed that of a main god after using the Tyrant Dragon. With the weapon's enhancement, it even surpassed her original body in the divine realm.

The final deciding factor was Lin Xiu's unusually infatuated and absorbed attitude when he kissed her.

Seeing Lin Xiu's infatuated expression, Athena's cold gaze gradually softened.

Perhaps it's because dragons and serpents were originally the servants of the Earth Mother Goddess? A certain dormant part of Athena, belonging to "woman" rather than "goddess," was quietly awakened by Lin Xiu's obvious infatuation with her charm.

This young man named Lin Xiu, although very powerful and arrogant, is indeed quite fond of her.

While women may be attracted to strong and domineering men, they also appreciate a man's vulnerable side, especially when that vulnerability is shown only to them.

"You...you must like me, right?" Athena finally asked.

"Of course, Athena is the person I like the most in this world~" Lin Xiu's voice was very firm.

Upon hearing this, Athena's expression flashed with understanding and helplessness. Because, through Lin Xiu's emotions, she realized that everything Lin Xiu said was true.

"Only when you take advantage of me will you back down in front of me~"

After saying that, Athena rolled her eyes at Lin Xiu, then hugged him and responded in kind.

Chapter 247 A Complete Showdown with Athena, the Qualification of the First Partner (First Update)

Lin Xiu was not lying; Athena was indeed the person he loved most in this world.

Yes, only in this world.

Even if we include other worlds, Athena would definitely be considered a top-tier (T0) character.

As a rather greedy transmigrator, Lin Xiu was clearly aware that he was a promiscuous scumbag.

All he could do was, based on his greed and promiscuity, try his best to treat all his concubines as fairly as possible, nothing more.

Of course, fairness does not mean egalitarianism. Considering that everyone prefers to be intimate with him at different frequencies, and that everyone places different emphasis on romantic relationships and their own careers, Lin Xiu can only make choices in many situations.

Even so, Lin Xiu still manages to find time to be with each person on the night they need him. This is largely thanks to Lin Xiu's ability to stop time; otherwise, no matter how busy he is, he wouldn't be able to manage it all.

Judging from Lin Xiu's current behavior, he has indeed become somewhat intoxicated and obsessed with the goddess, in addition to liking Athena.

Because, although he had kissed Athena twice before, those were both in her loli form. This was the first time Lin Xiu had kissed Athena in her teenage form. The teenage Athena possessed a completely different temperament and charm compared to her loli form, and her strength and charisma were also on a higher level.

Furthermore, Lin Xiu's strategy had progressed to its final stage. The thought that the goddess Athena, who had initially resisted and even antagonized him, had gradually become so appealing in his hands filled him with a sense of conquest that made his body and soul tremble.

After an unknown amount of time, Athena's previously stiff body slowly relaxed. Without her even realizing it, her hands had completely embraced Lin Xiu, and her porcelain-like skin was now flushed with an alluring blush.

Finally, when Lin Xiu finished the 11 long and deep kisses and slightly raised his head, Athena beneath him had a dazed look in her eyes, an unnatural blush on her cheeks, and rosy lips, and was unconsciously breathing softly.

Those once majestic and cold purple snake eyes were now misty with a layer of dampness, staring blankly at Lin Xiu, as if they had not yet recovered from that kiss.

Looking at Athena's current appearance, Lin Xiu couldn't help but smile.

The goddess's posture is truly breathtaking and leaves a lasting impression.

Perhaps because Lin Xiu's gaze was too unrestrained and direct, Athena gradually came back to her senses from her reverie.

Looking into Lin Xiu's eyes, noticing the satisfaction and love in them, Athena seemed thoughtful. As the goddess of wisdom, Athena knew all too well what it meant for a man to show such an expression to a woman.

"Hmm? That look in your eyes..."

"You wouldn't be thinking that you've finally made the legendary goddess Athena show such an emotional side, would you?" Athena reached out her delicate hand and pinched Lin Xiu's waist, clearly annoyed.

“Yes, that’s right, that’s exactly what I think.” Lin Xiuyi grasped Athena’s hand and replied with a smile.

"Hmph~ That's just how men are, which is why I said..."

Athena rolled her eyes at Lin Xiu, clearly annoyed. Shamelessness knows no bounds; Lin Xiu was so blunt, she didn't know how to respond.

"Athena, I like you~" Lin Xiu said with his smile, expressing his love for Athena.

"Cunning! You think you can get away with this?"

"No, no, you should know that I have never stooped to lying. The reason I said this is because of you."

"Oh? Because of me?" Athena was still annoyed. Wasn't that obvious? If it wasn't because of her, then what other woman could it be?

"That's right, it's because of you. Have you forgotten? I can sense the emotions of those I'm in contact with. Judging from your reaction just now, you reacted most strongly to that statement, which perfectly matches..."

"Okay, no need to say any more."

Before Lin Xiu could finish speaking, Athena looked up again and sealed his lips with a goddess's kiss.

"Athena, you're cute even though you don't want to face reality, aren't you?" At this moment, Lin Xiu had clearly kissed Athena again, but he was still talking while kissing her.

"Hmph! All you like is my appearance, isn't it?" Athena was very dissatisfied with Lin Xiu speaking while kissing her.

"Of course I like your looks; looks are the foundation of everything."

"Men choose the most beautiful women, and women choose the strongest men. This is an age-old truth," Lin Xiu admitted directly.

"Of course, besides your appearance, I also really like your inner qualities, Athena~ After all, who wouldn't like a goddess who appears proud on the outside but is incredibly cute on the inside?"

"..."

After hearing Lin Xiu's reply, Athena fell silent for a moment, which was taken as an implicit acceptance of the correctness of Lin Xiu's words.

Athena remained silent, but Lin Xiu's attack was not over yet.

"Speaking of which, Athena, why did you ask me if I only liked you because of your looks? Could it be... that you yourself think your personality is so terrible that you can only rely on your appearance to score points with me?"

"How could that be?! My being loved needs no reason; it is a fundamental truth of the universe!"

Athena got unusually excited and almost bit Lin Xiu's tongue.

"If that's the case, then my liking you is the natural order of things, and it doesn't need any reason, does it?" As he spoke, Lin Xiu counted the number of Athena's teeth, which made Athena roll her eyes at him again.

"You're cunning; you're just avoiding the question." Athena was very dissatisfied with Lin Xiu's attempt to gloss over the issue.

Lin Xiu smiled helplessly. He had already learned about Athena's general thoughts through close contact with her.

“Athena, I know why you would ask such a question.”

"Because... you are Athena, the goddess of wisdom; because... you are Athena, the goddess of virginity."

"As the goddess of wisdom, you know almost everything in the world, and you also understand the principles of love between men and women."

"However, as a Virgo, when you face these things yourself, you are often too caught up in them to know how to handle them."

"Your wisdom allows you to know almost everything, and you have always been proud of it. But it is precisely because you have always known almost everything that you feel confused about me, this unknown being."

"Because, in me, the power you possess as the goddess of wisdom has become ineffective."

Athena: "......"

As Athena listened to Lin Xiu's explanation, her purple eyes gradually went blank.

So that's how it is. So that's why she kept asking Lin Xiu to confirm his feelings for her?

The thought that she, the goddess of wisdom, had fallen into a state of "being blinded by her own situation" made Athena laugh at herself.

“Athena, I really like your expression right now~” Lin Xiu added with a smile.

"So, you're just lustful," Athena said, still annoyed.

However, Athena's current "unfriendly mood" is not quite the same as her previous "unfriendly mood".
