Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1278

Tiana felt deeply ashamed about this situation, but she consistently refused to admit anything was wrong with her feelings. She was the type of person who, even after making a mistake, stubbornly refused to back down.

Wisps of heat began radiating from Tiana's body and head. Andrew's expression turned solemn as he recognized they had reached a critical moment in the energy channeling process.

Following Tiana's guidance, his palms began moving across the pressure points on her body. These moments severely tested Andrew's nerves and willpower. After all, he was neither a saint nor immune to temptation.

Andrew hated to admit it, but Tiana's figure was indeed perfect. Each time their skin made contact, Tiana would release unnatural murmurs, which only tortured Andrew more.

The small chamber quickly filled with mist as time passed. A martial king's power relied on immense internal energy and bodily strength. Combined with Andrew's powerful medicinal pills, Tiana had become a walking furnace. The fierce fire within her, if released, could completely obliterate an ordinary person.

Large drops of sweat dripped from Tiana's forehead. It was evident that she was desperately restraining something, enduring tremendous difficulty.

With a loud bang, her shorts suddenly exploded into fragments.

Andrew's heart skipped a beat as he silently cursed. He knew Tiana could no longer maintain control as her internal energy fluctuated.

The powerful external force shattered everything on her body, which meant Tiana was now completely naked without any covering.

"Andrew, if I can't hold on, just open the chamber door and leave by yourself," Tiana quickly instructed before shutting her mouth to avoid distraction.

Andrew's face remained impassive as he replied, "That won't work. If I leave when you can't hold on, you'll lose at least half your life."

Tiana gasped for breath and struggled to say, "Losing half my life is better than being unable to withstand the internal energy surge, becoming mentally confused, and ending up doing something inappropriate."

Andrew's expression showed hesitation, unsure of what to say. Clearly, Tiana's attempt to reach the martial king level was showing signs of failure. His best option right now was to exit the chamber alone and let Tiana calm down.
