In this crossover anime/manga series, I started by supporting Akane the Seven-Tails.

Lin Chuan gently stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace with a slight pull. A smile played on his lips as he asked, "Isuzu, how did your tea ceremony practice go yesterday since the teacher wasn't here?"

Upon close contact, the strong scent of masculine hormones filled his nostrils, and the girl's beautiful eyes, as clear as mountain springs, shimmered with light.

The next moment, her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as gentle as water: "Without a teacher's guidance, I always feel like something is missing; I can only grasp the form, not the spirit."

"Oh, then you demonstrate it first, and I'll observe and find any problems."

Upon hearing this, a faint blush rose on her fair face, and Yamamoto Igarashi gently nodded her head.

She then sat down at the table and began to play with the exquisite tea set with her slender fingers.

Sitting to the side, watching the girl's incredibly graceful movements, Lin Chuan's smile deepened.

During this time, upon seeing a pleasant surprise, a faint glint appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at the storage room as if by accident.

After a series of smooth and skillful maneuvers, Yamamoto Isuzu buried her head in her chest and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Teacher, is there anything I did wrong?"

"Hmm! There were a few movements that weren't done quite right, and the timing and intensity were a bit off."

"Come here, let me show you how!"

As he spoke, Lin Chuan patted the cushion next to him.

Her cheeks flushed even more, and Yamamoto Isuzu then slowly moved towards Lin Chuan.

Once the person was beside him, Lin Chuan picked up the exquisite, white tea set and began to explain earnestly: "The way of tea ceremony emphasizes..."

While Lin Chuan was giving his explanation, in his private lounge, Xiao Niao Linghua, dressed in a purple sailor uniform with her legs tightly wrapped in black stockings, kept pacing back and forth.

Every now and then, she would look up at the closed door and mutter softly, "Why isn't the teacher here yet?"

Muttering to himself, a soft "click" sound suddenly rang out.

Upon seeing the doorknob turning slightly, a look of joy immediately appeared on the girl's chubby cheeks.

Then, she hurriedly straightened her clothes and waddled over with her short legs, calling out, "Teacher..."

Just as she was about to enthusiastically rush into that broad embrace, Little Bird Linghua suddenly realized that the person who came was not Lin Chuan, but...

"Du-chan, what's going on?"

Looking at Fujie in front of her, her face was full of astonishment.

Fujieda, equally surprised that the other person was still there, instinctively asked, "Reika, why haven't you left yet?!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fuji realized he had done something wrong.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Little Bird Linghua was taken aback.

Realizing what had happened, he flew into a rage: "You bastard Fujieda, you actually stole my house!"

She's just a little infatuated, but not stupid.

Given what the other party had just said, coupled with their frequent disappearances over the past two days, how could she not know what had happened?

Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Tengzhi stopped pretending and said in a cold voice with a slightly dark expression, "You cheated first. We agreed to a fair competition, but you secretly tempted the teacher."

"If you do the first day of the month, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoniao Linghua's original imposing manner was immediately diminished by three points, but she still stubbornly said, "This is not an excuse for you to steal from our home."

"Steal your home? What do you mean, steal your home? Is Teacher Lin Chuan yours?!"

"You... ah! I'll fight you to the death!"

Linghua, at a loss for words, let out a delicate scolding and charged at the vines with bared teeth and claws.

Seeing this, the vines immediately stepped forward, not to be outdone...

On the other side, Lin Chuan, completely unaware that the two little ones had started fighting over him, ended his final lesson.

She let out a soft breath, looked at the beautiful Yamamoto Isuzu beside her, and said gently, "Do you understand what to do?"

The girl, who had been silently absorbing the knowledge she had just received with her eyes closed, nodded gently upon hearing this.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

Having received Lin Chuan's full support, her eyes were no longer filled with the confusion and naivety of before, but with confidence and maturity.

She has successfully transformed herself from a tea ceremony novice into a semi-master.

Seeing the confidence radiating from his brow, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! But remember, learning is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. You need to review often, understand?"

Faced with Lin Chuan's earnest instructions, Yamamoto Isuzu smiled sweetly, her voice slightly hoarse: "Okay!"

After saying that, she changed the subject, her eyes full of anticipation: "Then, teacher, will I be able to hear you explain the tea ceremony to me again in the future?"

Reaching out to gently stroke the other's silky, flowing black hair, Lin Chuan nodded with a faint smile: "Of course, after all, you are my most talented student."

With just one sentence, Yamamoto Isuzu's smile widened even further, her large, watery eyes filled with tenderness.

After tidying up the tea set, the young woman gracefully stood up.

Unexpectedly, because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs suddenly felt sore and numb.

She had just stood up when she suddenly staggered and fell towards Lin Chuan beside her.

As she rushed into that broad chest and felt that familiar warmth, Yamamoto Isuzu's cheeks flushed, and she softly apologized, "Teacher, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay! Here, drink this."

With a faint smile and a shake of his head, Lin Chuan casually took out a bottle of healing potion and handed it over.

Gazing at the potion that emitted a mysterious glow in the sunlight, the girl did not hesitate for long before taking it and drinking it all in one gulp.

As the tingling and throbbing sensation in her body rapidly dissipated, a look of surprise appeared on Yamamoto Isuzu's beautiful face, but she sensibly refrained from asking any further questions.

As a smart woman, she knows what to say and what not to say.

Seeing how sensible he was, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly and stroked his little head even more gently.

"Dingling bell~"

As a melodious preparatory bell rang, the two hurriedly left.

After they left, the door to the storage room next door opened, and Asamiya Saori, with her earlobes as red as blood and her breath as fragrant as orchids, slowly walked out.

Looking at the seats where the two had been sitting, a complex expression appeared in the eyes of this usually proud young woman.

There was resentment, anger, and a faint glimmer of expectation.

Chapter 208 Song Sui Leaves Without Saying Goodbye

After escorting Yamamoto Isuzu back to the classroom, Lin Chuan hummed an unknown tune as he returned to his private lounge.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they saw Linghua and Tengzhi, whose hair was as messy as a chicken coop and who looked like bullfighters, staring intently at each other.

The moment he appeared, the two women instinctively turned their heads to look.

The next moment, almost simultaneously, she jumped up from the bedside and quickly ran over, her perfectly proportioned legs—slender yet shapely, neither too plump nor too thin—that were just the right amount of curves.

As she ran, she complained, "Teacher, look at Linghua/Du-chan, you have to stand up for me!"

The words had barely left their mouths when the two little ones abruptly stopped running.

Then, turning to look at the other person, they said in unison, "Don't mimic me!"

"???"

"You're still studying?!" *2

"Teacher, look at her." *2

Seeing how adorable the two girls were, Lin Chuan smiled faintly.

He then slowly walked to her side and gently stretched out his arm to embrace her slender waist.

With his silver tongue and a few subtle gestures, the two women eventually reconciled and left together with smiles on their faces.

As dusk approached and the school bell rang, Lin Chuan arrived at the tea ceremony club, only to find the storage room door wide open. The arrogant little cat, who had been secretly learning from the masters inside, was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that he still hadn't appeared, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

After brewing a cup of fragrant tea as usual, he slowly left.

In the dense forest outside the tea ceremony club, watching the receding figure, Asamiya Saori slowly emerged from behind a large tree, a complex expression on her delicate face.

Immediately afterwards, she gracefully walked into the tea ceremony room.

Upon seeing the cup of fragrant tea on the table, steaming hot, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he slowly walked to the table, picked it up, and began to savor it.

Meanwhile, Lin Chuan had already returned to Shennai Manor using the Eye of Aurora.

As soon as Pu entered the room, a rich and fragrant aroma filled his nostrils.

Looking closely, one can see two graceful figures, each with their own unique charm, busily working in the kitchen, adorned with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums.

Just then, Rie Kirisaki's gentle voice rang out: "Kaho, why don't you take the dishes out first? Hayashikawa-kun will be back soon~"

"it is good!"

Rou Rou responded, and Da Gu Sui immediately carried two plates of already cooked dishes out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing Lin Chuan, the beauty froze, a complex expression appearing on her charming face.

Seeing this, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face, and he said softly, "Ge Sui, let me help you."

As the moon rose above the willow branches, listening to the soft whispers coming from next door, Da Gu Sui couldn't help but recall last night, recalling that passionate embrace.

Gradually, her breathing became heavy, and blushes rose on her fair, jade-like face.

A flame surged within her, making her unable to resist wanting to...

After an unknown amount of time, the annoying noise from next door finally stopped, and Da Gu Sui breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, he lifted the thin blanket around himself and slowly closed his eyes to rest.

The wind rustled through the treetops, creating a soft, rustling sound, like the best lullaby in the world.

A moment later, just as she was feeling drowsy and about to drift off to sleep, a soft sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.

Although the voice was soft, it sounded like a thunderclap to the beautiful woman at that moment.
