First Conversation 2/4 [Seeking Collection!]

Once Terumi Mei had finished putting her white kimono back on, concealing her devilishly alluring figure, the ambiguous atmosphere finally dissipated a little.

However, with the dressing completed, another awkward matter arose.

"You..."

"You..."

After a brief silence, both Jun Tianlin and Terumi Mei lifted their heads, speaking at the same time, only to realize that the other had also intended to express something.

With this, neither of them managed to voice their thoughts, and instead, they both lowered their heads in renewed embarrassment, falling into silence once more.

Standing on the right, Jun Tianlin kept his head bowed, but at the end of the day, he was a boy—no, he had already transformed from a boy into a man.

As a man, even if he felt frustrated, he would not show it in front of a woman; even Jun Tianlin, who lacked high emotional intelligence, understood this much.

More importantly... as a man, and a proud, powerful one at that, Jun Tianlin could never be forced to do something against his will, even if the person in question was a beautiful woman!

This was a matter of principle, and there was no room for compromise.

Of course, when it came to Terumi Mei, this principle vanished; after all, they had just been intimate, so how could Jun Tianlin truly harden his heart?

Therefore...

As a man, he should show a sense of responsibility in front of Terumi Mei, as that would facilitate the future development of their relationship.

Lifting his head, Jun Tianlin looked at Terumi Mei, his face softening with a rare gentleness, his gaze easing, and his voice devoid of the icy ruthlessness he had shown when killing Ichiro Watanabe, instead filled with a strange emotion.

"You... Terumi Mei, right? Although today was a misunderstanding, things have reached this point, and we have... we have been intimate. For me to ignore you now is impossible. After all, I am cold and ruthless toward my enemies, but I am very gentle toward my own people. Now that you are my woman and a part of my life, I can no longer treat you as I did before. So, are you prepared to be my little woman, Terumi Mei?"

Terumi Mei, who had been feeling quite awkward and anxious about what would happen next, felt all her reservations vanish instantly upon hearing Jun Tianlin's words.

She lifted her head slightly, her charming, sparkling eyes gazing softly at Jun Tianlin. With a flushed face, she shook her head at him and whispered shyly, "Jun Tianlin, it is fine for me to be your woman. After all, you saved my life twice just now; you could say my life is now a gift from you, and even my body has been completely... given to you. Letting me be your woman is no problem at all, because you fit my criteria for a partner perfectly! However, Tianlin, you should be aware, right? I am the Fifth Mizukage Successor of Kirigakure, and I am destined to become the Fifth Mizukage! Because the Fourth Mizukage Yagura implemented a brutal reign in Kirigakure and even initiated the Bloody Mist Era, during which he wiped out many powerful bloodline clans—such as the Kaguya Clan, which possesses the Shikotsumyaku that you have—I am striving with the goal of overthrowing Yagura's tyrannical rule! So, Tianlin, can you come back to Kirigakure with me? You possess the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya Clan, and you are my man; even if you return to Kirigakure with me, you won't be ostracized by everyone, okay?"

Having poured out everything on her mind, Terumi Mei looked at Jun Tianlin with hopeful eyes, waiting for his answer.
