Lin Luo’s heart was definitely tingling a bit. In the dead of night, a beautiful woman with mutual feelings saying something so provocative to him—if that didn’t stir something, he wouldn’t be a man. However, Lin Luo’s itch was twofold: first, the beauty herself, which was undeniable, and second, the woman's ability.

“Your ability is truly convenient,” Lin Luo admitted with a touch of envy. He knew perfectly well that Shokuhou’s personality shift was due to tampering with her own programming; this wasn’t the first time he’d encountered it. Back in the A Certain Magical Index plane, she used this trick constantly to tease him.

So, Lin Luo knew her power inside and out. The moment her current personality couldn't handle a situation, she’d instantly switch to another one to deal with it. It was… too cunning, too wonderful.

I wish I had that ability… Lin Luo’s heart was filled with covetousness. If he possessed that power, what kind of beauty couldn’t he conquer? Never mind if she was tsundere or flat, spirited or dark—he could always find the personality to counter her. Back then, no one could stop his ambitions for a harem.

“Is this ability the only thing you like about me?” As if sensing Lin Luo’s thoughts, Shokuhou said sweetly, her fingers tracing circles on his chest.

“Are you teasing me again?” Lin Luo sighed. He had developed quite a resistance to such simple provocations. Unless things got much heavier, it would take a lot to make him yield.

“What do you think?” Shokuhou whispered softly, her breath fragrant.

“We’re both adults now, you should know the consequences,” Lin Luo said, his heart skipping a beat as the sweet aroma washed over him. He forced himself to stay calm and put on a show of threat.

“What consequences?” she asked innocently, though the scent of temptation grew stronger.

Lin Luo found it increasingly difficult to resist, deciding he’d best leave her be. Now wasn't the time for this kind of thing, especially with Mugino nearby; if she discovered them, the consequences could be dire.

But the Queen’s assault wasn’t ending that quickly. She seized his arm, her hot breath puffing against his face, giggling, “You’re too dishonest. You clearly have feelings, but you pretend you don't. What do they call that? Saying one thing while meaning another.”

“The consequences of provocation are very serious,” feeling the softness where his arm touched hers, Lin Luo felt a stirring reaction.

“How serious?” Shokuhou’s lips suddenly brushed lightly against Lin Luo’s ear, followed by a soft puff of air directly into his ear canal.

That sensation was like a bolt of lightning, utterly igniting the fire within Lin Luo.

“Extremely serious.” With a fierce glare, he yanked Shokuhou toward him with the speed of lightning. Her eyes widened, and before she could react, her lips were forcefully covered. His tongue pried open her teeth, plunging in unceremoniously, tangling with her delicate tongue, savoring the sweet nectar.

Shokuhou froze. She hadn't expected Lin Luo to suddenly become so assertive. She’d only meant to make him uncomfortable, not…

“Hmph, how about that? Now you know the seriousness of the consequences, right?” While kissing her forcefully, Lin Luo communicated via mental link, his arms tightly locking around her body to prevent escape.

“You bastard, pulling stunts like this! Let go of me now!” Shokuhou began to struggle, but with her strength, breaking free was impossible. And Lin Luo clearly wasn't letting go; he intended to properly punish this woman for constantly tempting him and robbing him of his peace.

“It’s too late to regret it now; you asked for this by tempting me time and again. I’m not someone you can push around,” Lin Luo kissed her lips frantically, making loud smacking sounds.

“You…” Shokuhou glared, angry, but her body was already softening, no longer able to struggle but instead leaning heavily against Lin Luo.

“How about it, are you ready to beg for mercy? Hmm, if you obediently call me ‘Onii-chan’ a few times, maybe I’ll let you go. Oh, and make sure you sound adorable when you say it.” Lin Luo thought this while kissing her harder, his hands simultaneously roaming across her back.

“Call you my foot!” Shokuhou insisted stubbornly, but her body was already responding, her tongue beginning to tentatively return the pressure, her delicate frame trembling slightly.

“Fine, if you won’t call me that, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Lin Luo reached down, pressing firmly onto her hips, giving a solid squeeze while increasing the suction of his kiss.

“You… Hmph, who’s afraid of whom? I’m not so easily bullied either!” Attacked thus, Shokuhou gasped in alarm. Suddenly, she stamped her foot hard, going all in with a "broken pot, broken heart" attitude. Her vertical arms wrapped tightly around Lin Luo’s waist, returning the kiss with dominant fervor.

Holding soft, fragrant jade close, breathing in the scent of untouched blossom, their tongues entangled intimately, exchanging moisture. Lin Luo could no longer hold back; the last sliver of reason was crushed. As for the consequences, who the hell knew about those things.

They continued their external battle of offense and defense while communicating telepathically.

“Fine, let’s settle this once and for all—who is the attacker and who is the attacked?”

His hands slipped beneath her clothes to caress the soft skin of the girl in his embrace, their tongues swirling more fiercely. As they exchanged saliva, Lin Luo reached inside Shokuhou’s undergarment and began to knead her full bosom.

“You… You are too wicked! You actually use this move!”

Shokuhou was furious. Not only was she being forcibly kissed, but now her chest was being touched too! Although she had been touched when they signed the contract, that was through clothing, and only a light brush. But now… Damn it, and he’s squeezing so hard! Are you trying to die?

“Good, watch this! Don’t think I’ll let you off easy!” Shokuhou gritted her teeth, intense killing intent flashing in her eyes. One hand suddenly shot toward Lin Luo’s lower region and clamped down hard on his vital spot, squeezing viciously.

“Ugh!” Lin Luo immediately felt a sharp pain below, his face changing drastically. “Monkey steals the peach, Heroine Shokuhou, you are too treacherous! You’d even use this move—this is forbidden technique!”

“Hmph, didn’t you know I’m known in the Jianghu as the Queen of Aggressive Offense? A simple ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ is just my low-mana opening skill,” Shokuhou sneered, tightening her grip.

“So that’s the power of the Queen of Aggressive Offense! Then I must use my true strength as well! Come on, Little Shin-chan possesses me—Twin Dragons Play with Pearls!” Lin Luo used both hands, gripping the two cherries atop the girl’s breasts and beginning to massage them.

“You… I didn’t think you learned the techniques of the God of Perversion, Crayon Shin-chan. Are you already max level? Fine, I underestimated you. Then taste my unique secret technique—Ten Fingers Connected to the Heart!”

Shokuhou gritted her teeth, her other hand reaching out, unzipping Lin Luo’s trousers. Both hands began to move.

“Mmm…” Lin Luo felt a soul-shattering sensation from below, a feeling that could only be described as shattering the void, ascending to heaven in broad daylight, only to be struck by divine lightning at the threshold. His body convulsed violently, and he stammered, “Th-this… this is the legendary, long-lost Ten Fingers Connected to the Heart… I never thought it had such power. I… I was too careless…”

“Hmph, now you recognize my might? Then surrender obediently.” Shokuhou laughed triumphantly, her movements becoming even more intense.

“No, this battle is not yet lost. Do you know my life’s motto?” Lin Luo’s expression suddenly shifted. Forcing down the urge to release, he said earnestly, “Listen closely…”

“What life motto? Is it your dying words?” Shokuhou asked dismissively, certain that under her ‘Ten Fingers Connected to the Heart,’ he had no hope of turning the tables.

Lin Luo let out a cold snort, an aura of supreme dominance erupting from him. In an instant, he looked as majestic as a celestial god, causing the girl opposite to feel a flutter in her heart, involuntarily crying out, “W-what kind of terrifying dominance is this? Could it be that rare Conqueror’s Haki?”

Immediately afterward, she heard a sound like the unstoppable surge of the Yellow River.

“My entire life is devoted to the pursuit of conquest. My blood flows for conquest, my heart is intoxicated by conquest. Having experienced countless conquests without ever being counter-conquered, encountering big sisters, lolis, queens, and sweet young things, standing alone amidst a field of flowers after conquest—such a life would be meaningless. Therefore, this is called the ‘Principle of Infinite Conquest.’”

“You… Are you that infamous World-Renowned Conquest Man whispered about?” Shokuhou’s delicate body began to tremble violently. She finally realized at this moment that the person before her was her destined nemesis.

Lin Luo stated proudly, “Precisely. However, I have another title: The King of Strategy, above human, yet short of immortal.”

“I see. No wonder your power is so immense. But don’t underestimate me; I am the Queen of Counter-Conquest!” At that moment, Shokuhou flashed a strange smile, and her strength suddenly erupted. She violently shoved Lin Luo against a large tree and pinned him down forcefully.

“What?” Struck so suddenly, Lin Luo instantly lost his footing. Demonic energy invaded him from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, causing his face to pale. “Could it be you are the hidden Queen of Counter-Conquest, who has remained secluded for three thousand years, never seen, who once drained dry 9,999 of my external avatars?”

“It’s too late to realize it now. You are destined to be counter-conquered by me.” Shokuhou looked triumphant, unleashing another finishing move—‘Responding Above and Below, Using Hands and Mouth.’

Lin Luo felt as if his three souls and seven spirits were about to leave his body. Using the last vestiges of his consciousness to maintain his primordial energy, he stammered, “There’s nothing for it. I never imagined your skill had reached the state of Heaven-Man Unity. I have only one last move left… ‘Withstand the Green Mountain, Let the Silver Water Flow.’ Come on!”

“Withstand the Green Mountain, Let the Silver Water Flow? Is that your ultimate move?” Shokuhou sensed something was wrong; there was a danger of being defeated by her opponent after all. She immediately stopped holding back. “This is unavoidable. Since our identities are exposed, I will make you the ten-thousandth person I drain dry. Very well, I accept your challenge. Let’s see your finishing move… ‘Forceful Counter-Conquest, One Thrust and Down You Go.’”

The lightning and earthly fire between the two were fully ignited; both had lost all reason. The final battle was drawn, and the arrow was already on the string.
