Layer upon layer of Blue Silver Emperor vines began to spread, covering the area and turning it into a blue ocean that kept Haji-Tong at bay.
Tang Ya slowly approached Xiao Yi and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Then she started nibbling at him like a rabbit chewing a carrot.
Xiao Yi held her back helplessly and answered her.
Meanwhile, his other hand expertly began to help Tang Ya channel her life force. The enhancement brought by the Blue Silver Emperor's evolution was remarkably significant, and Xiao Yi soon felt the power of Tang Ya's new Martial Soul.
Tang Ya's body shuddered. Why did she feel so weak and tingly all over? It hadn't been like this before.
Perhaps it was because her Martial Soul had just undergone a second evolution. Her life force was on an entirely different level now, making her senses more acute.
After a long while, their lips parted. Tang Ya's cheeks were flushed, and she leaned forward again.
Feeling that familiar touch at his waist, Tang Ya placed her little hand on Xiao Yi's chest and pushed him down. A romantic atmosphere began to spread.
Xiao Yi soon felt the Blue Silver Emperor's vigorous life force. It was so immense that it even left him briefly breathless.
Before long, he was tightly bound by the Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Bind, unable to move and trapped within its embrace.
No wonder even a God King used this Soul Skill, Blue Silver Bind. Its power was terrifying indeed.
Outside the door, Tang Wutong listened to the amorous sounds and muffled moans coming from within. It felt as if countless ants were crawling all over her. Like a helpless wife, all she could do was transform into a legendary pilot and take off alone.
That night, Tang Wutong let out a satisfied sigh. Xiao Yi had thought she would be angry and had been ready to comfort her.
But after he and Tang Ya were done, the girl had grabbed him and dragged him right back in. She looked just like a player eagerly waiting for a game to launch so she could pull for a character.
She had been so impatient, even delighted when Xiao Yi came out early. The main reason was that the Blue Silver Emperor had been getting a little worn out.
And then they had carried on until now.
Tang Wutong traced circles on Xiao Yi's chest with her finger. Even though she had already been physically comforted, she still felt a little uneasy. She always felt that Xiao Yi didn't pay enough attention to her, as if every other girl had what she had—and even more.
Seeing her look as though she wanted to say something but was sulking in wounded indignation, Xiao Yi couldn't help smiling. She was just too cute. He put an arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer, then spoke softly.
"Xiao Qi, if there's something you want to say, just say it."
Tang Wutong raised her little face, its blush still lingering, and puffed out her cheeks. She checked Xiao Yi's expression, and when she saw that he was asking normally rather than getting angry, she finally spoke.
"It's just... what Senior Tang Ya said... that Fire Seal. Why don't I have one?" Tang Wutong's voice grew quieter and quieter, like a plaintive little pink-and-blue kitten.
"Xiao Yi, do you not like me anymore?"
Xiao Yi pressed a hand to his forehead. How had Tang Wutong become like this? That month had affected her far too much. If they ever had to spend a year or two apart, she'd probably go out of her mind.
"Of course I like you. I just forgot about the Fire Seal, that's all." Xiao Yi's voice was utterly serious, and he met her gaze with a steady look. He had meant to give it to her that night, but, well...
"Really? Then why..." She didn't get to finish before Xiao Yi's gaze turned increasingly strange.
"You came back that night and immediately dragged me into doing that. So I forgot."
"..." After a long silence, Tang Wutong's little face visibly turned bright red. She became a human steam engine and didn't recover for quite some time.
"Can you give it to me now?" Tang Wutong asked, embarrassed. She remembered now: Xiao Yi had promised her at Huo Yutong's place, but that night she'd wanted to whimper a little, so...
"Sure." Xiao Yi smiled and gently patted Tang Wutong's flushed little head.
He raised his hand, a transparent flame gathering at his fingertip, and was about to press it against Tang Wutong's forehead. But as if she'd thought of something, she hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qi?" Xiao Yi looked at her in puzzlement.
Tang Wutong gave an awkward little hum.
"Put it somewhere else. I don't want it in the same place as Tang Ya's." Then Tang Wutong gently lifted the blanket, exposing her lower abdomen.
??? Haji-Tong, what kind of joke are you making???
"Are you serious?"
"Isn't it closer to my dantian here?" Tang Wutong looked a little annoyed as she forced herself to stay calm.jpg
Xiao Yi gave Tang Wutong a strange look, then reached straight over and began drawing the Fire Seal.
Amorous sounds filled the room once more.
As for why he didn't put it on her forehead, a golden phantom of the trident flickered into view there. It flashed twice, then went dark like a short-circuited lightbulb.
...In the distant Divine Realm, somewhere unknown.
Within a sea-blue palace surrounded by misty clouds, Xiao Wu looked worriedly at her husband, Tang San.
"Third Brother, still no luck contacting Douluo Continent?"
The Divine Realm had recently been struck by a spacetime turbulence. Tang San, who had just stabilized the God Realm Hub alongside the other God Kings, tiredly rubbed his brow.
His own mind was a complete muddle. Douluo Continent had been under his watchful eye before. Even though it was shrouded in mist and his contingency plan had failed, if his daughter ever ran into danger, Tang Wutong could use her unique ninth Soul Skill, allowing him to descend to Douluo Continent in person.
Then, even if the God of Destruction was displeased, Tang San, who doted on Tang Wutong, would have to swallow his anger. His daughter would be in danger, and he would be saving her. What would be wrong with that?
But now the Divine Realm was far from Douluo Continent, and it had even lost its coordinates. Even Tang San, always possessed of astounding wisdom, was at a loss.
Forget about descending in person for his ten-thousand-year plan. His contingency plan had already failed, and now he couldn't even use his last resort.
Unless Tang Wutong actively activated the Sea God's Trident left on her, Tang San couldn't even return to Douluo Continent.
"Let's wait a little longer, Xiao Wu. For now, all we can do is wait for Xiao Qi to activate the Sea God's Trident. Then I'll be able to contact Douluo Continent."
Tang San gently comforted his wife for a while before speaking. Even though Xiao Wu felt uneasy, she still nodded. She had always trusted her Third Brother.
"For now, all we can do is hope that girl Xiao Qi contacts us soon." Xiao Wu sighed and leaned into her husband's embrace, letting out another heavy sigh.
As for their Xiao Qi...
"Xiao Yi, will this really work?" Tang Wutong raised her head. The light cast a blurry, dark outline across her face.
She swallowed. Normally, this was how...
Then she lowered her head. After who knew how long, Tang Wutong finally returned to the warmth of Xiao Yi's embrace, looking somewhat tired.
The two of them snuggled together and fell fast asleep. The Heavenly Flame mark on Tang Wutong's body flickered faintly, as if helping her refine something.
As for the Sea God's Trident and that old geezer Tang San, Tang Wutong had long since forgotten about them. She would be perfectly happy if Tang San couldn't get in touch with her. The old geezer doted on her, but he was extremely controlling. Though she obediently went along with him on the surface, she had long been unhappy about it.
Now that she had finally escaped his restrictions, she could let her butterfly fly wherever the sky stretched wide.
