Within the space, ripples slowly split open, and a beautiful, extremely fair leg slowly emerged from within.
"What? You're not running away anymore?"
A mesmerizing voice suddenly rang out, and then Fate slowly emerged from the spatial ripples, step by step.
Lin Ao watched her figure quietly, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
Why can't this person change their clothes?!
Fate seemed to have noticed Lin Ao's somewhat strange gaze.
She pursed her lips slightly, revealing a captivating smile.
"What? Do you have some problem with my body? Or perhaps you're having some kind of reaction to it? How about it? Isn't my body even more perfect than Fate?"
The voice of Fate was still far away, yet her figure appeared in front of Lin Ao in an instant.
A smile played on her lips, and she even licked them.
She was enthusiastic about doing anything that would displease Heavenly Mandate.
"Heh, as the saying goes, 'beauty is but a skeleton,' no matter how beautiful a person is, once the skin is removed, they are nothing more than 206 bones, flesh, filth, hair, and intestines."
Lin Ao paused, then glanced up and down at Fate, his eyes calm and still, as if he were looking at a skeleton.
"Once clothed, one can perceive eighteen thousand forms. In life, one can fathom human hearts; in death, one can contemplate white bones. To see a beautiful woman as white bones makes me devoid of desire; to see white bones as beautiful women makes me fearless. Devoid of desire and fear—this is the essence of all beings. All forms of beings are illusory; even form can be formless."
"Without the concept of self, without the concept of others."
"There is no appearance of sentient beings, no appearance of a life span."
"Red-painted skulls are nothing but white bones and flesh."
"All forms are not forms; all forms are illusory."
Lin Ao stared intently at Fate without any attempt to hide his gaze. He seemed to be glowing, and appeared to be completely unaffected.
His words caused Fate to narrow its eyes slightly.
"I never imagined... you possessed such a mind. So, does this mean you acknowledge me as a beauty? Does that mean you both desire and fear me, is that right?"
Fate interpreted Lin Ao's words in the opposite way.
Then, she reached out and hooked her arms around Lin Ao, who was covered in snow.
In this extremely cold environment, her warm breath constantly stimulated Lin Ao.
Lin Ao's face remained completely expressionless throughout.
His expression was calm and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could stir up any ripples in his heart.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes, his movements gentle and steady, as if he were pondering some profound question.
Fate's sharp, vulnerable side pressed tightly against Lin Ao's chest.
She gently pressed her head against Lin Ao's face.
At that moment, she could clearly feel that Lin Ao's body temperature was extremely high, and that heat seemed to be unaffected by the surrounding environment.
" Lin Ao ~~~"
Fate, too, slowly closed its eyes. She took a deep breath, seemingly lost in its own world.
She was truly captivated by the unique aura of Fate Energy emanating from him.
Her tone was extremely soft, and her hands were exerting a slight force, and Lin Ao felt that previous state return.
Fate once again wanted to merge Lin Ao into its own body.
Lin Ao remained still and motionless, his eyes closed.
" Heavenly Mandate... You're giving me one more day to stall, how am I supposed to do that... This woman wants to devour me right now... I smell even better than Tang Seng's flesh..."
Lin Ao cursed inwardly, but no matter how much Fate tormented him, he still dared not make a move.
In fact, his mind was churning like a turbulent sea.
Fate wasn't just stimulating him physically; the aura of Fate emanating from her had also turned pink.
The pink aura of Fate lingered on Lin Ao's skin.
It was teasing Lin Ao's Fate Energy, and an indescribable feeling of exhilaration spread throughout his body, as if countless ants were slowly crawling on it.
Lin Ao felt incredibly accomplished to have managed to control the situation to this extent!
" Lin Ao ~~~~Let's get together, okay?"
Fate extended its pink tongue, and a warm yet slightly cool sensation instantly appeared on Lin Ao's neck.
In that instant, goosebumps rose all over his body...
"Alright~~~~ Let us unite closely and become a more powerful, higher-level being. From this day forward, we will join hands to control the Fate of all people. We can do it; we have the ability. We can even create a completely new world, a world that perfectly matches our imagination, a world full of infinite possibilities."
Fate had always clung tightly to Lin Ao, whispering secrets.
Her fingers slowly slid down to Lin Ao's chest, gently and continuously circling there.
Her appearance was just like that of a charming and alluring wife coaxing her husband, gentle yet full of seduction.
"At that time, whether you desire Heavenly Mandate or anyone else, I have the ability to safely deliver her to your side. And I will certainly treat everyone around you with utmost care, okay?"
Fate's phoenix-like eyes opened slightly, and then she kissed Lin Ao passionately once more.
Lin Ao kept his lips tightly closed, giving Fate no chance whatsoever, and silently recited scriptures in his heart.
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."
A captivating smile slowly crept onto the corners of Fate's lips, and then, with lightning speed, her right hand reached down.
Lin Ao suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of shock, and he was eager to speak.
A sly glint appeared in Fate's eyes, and seizing the opportunity, a cool sensation instantly appeared in Lin Ao's mouth.
The two stood quietly amidst the swirling snow, seemingly unaffected by the harsh environment.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful Fate Energy surged from Lin Ao's right hand. He swung his right hand fiercely, striking down at Fate's head with overwhelming force.
Fate, however, remained with its eyes closed, as if immersed in some wondrous enjoyment. She gently raised her jade-white hand, the movement seemingly soft, yet containing unimaginable power.
Instantly, an incredibly powerful shock emanated from the two of them and spread outwards.
That fierce momentum instantly shook the swirling snow and wind, scattering it in all directions.
The ground they hadn't seen for many years was now laid out beneath their feet.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ao's left hand also began to move, but the result was the same as before.
The interplay of gold and red creates a dazzling yet powerful effect.
At the same time, the aura surrounding Fate is also surging dramatically!
She steadily extended her hands and precisely grasped Lin Ao's wrists.
There was a crisp "pop" sound.
Fate parted ways with Lin Ao, and she gazed at Lin Ao with lingering affection, her eyes already misting over.
"The taste is truly... excellent..."
She stuck out her tongue and licked her deep red lips, then gently licked away the blood from the corner of Lin Ao's mouth.
" Lin Ao, you haven't reached that level yet, so you can't contend with me."
Fate gripped Lin Ao's wrist tightly, encircling him around her slender waist.
Fate stared at Lin Ao with a crazed look in her eyes, and a trace of golden-red Fate Energy began to appear on her body.
However, in that instant, her expression suddenly changed drastically.
At the same time, a mocking smile appeared on Lin Ao's lips.
