You'd Never Guess!

Dugu Yan slammed her hand on the table, making the bowls and plates rattle.

"Exactly! All that hesitation and second-guessing! If you want something, just fight for it! Fight for it! His Holiness the Pope suffers so much, isn't it because of these very rules?"

"Wasn't Qian Renxue's collapse also caused by being frightened by these ridiculous rules? Break them! Use your power, use your determination! Let them see that the title of 'Holy Son' represents not only talent, but also the courage to break all conventions!"

Her words were inflammatory, directly directing Lin Xia's pain toward the goal of resistance.

Although Ye Lingling did not shout loudly, she reached out her slightly cool hand and gently grasped Lin Xia's other hand, which was clenched into a fist with nails digging deep into his palm. A trace of extremely pure and gentle Nine Heart Begonia Soul Power slowly flowed in, soothing the Soul Power backlash caused by his intense emotional fluctuations.

She raised her clear, beautiful eyes to look at him, her voice soft yet carrying a firmness as solid as a rock.

"Where love leads, there is no regret, no matter how many trials. If there is a path, it will be beneath your feet. We... will accompany you on your search."

"We'll help you look."

These five words have profound meaning. They refer to accompanying him to find the path to resolve the issues Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, and also hint at their own position and determination.

The three women's words were like three different, powerful forces, violently impacting Lin Xia's mind, which had been numbed by alcohol and despair.

Break it!

Go fight! Go grab!

If it's worth it, go for it!

We'll help you find it!

These words, like molten lava injected into his cold veins, rekindled the almost extinguished Core Flame in his heart.

Yes, he was in pain, he blamed himself, but his deepest Covet never changed—he wanted to protect Bibi Dong from Rakshasa Devour, he wanted to mend Qian Renxue's broken heart, and he wanted that emotion that was not understood by the world but was incredibly real!

The three women not only did not despise him, but instead supported his astonishing ambition in the most intense and direct way!

This understanding, support, and even a sense of complicity tinged with shared ambitions, acted like a powerful stimulant, piercing Lin Xia's heart.

An overwhelming sense of emotion swept over him like a tsunami.

Alcohol numbed the dam of reason, and the intense emotional impact overwhelmed the last vestiges of restraint.

Looking at the three beautiful and determined faces before him—the alluring and wild Hu Liena, the heroic Dugu Yan, and the aloof and resilient Ye Lingling —they did not run away or despise him during his most vulnerable, most vulnerable, and burdened with the heaviest taboo moments. Instead, they chose to stand by his side and were even willing to accompany him to challenge the impossible!

This affection, this understanding, this almost blind support... stirred a surge of fervent warmth in Lin Xia's cold and desperate heart, instantly shattering all his defenses.

A powerful impulse, mixed with the burning sensation of alcohol and immense gratitude, made him blurt out, his voice hoarse yet carrying a resolute promise:

"Good! Good! You... you're right!"

Lin Xia abruptly broke free from Hu Liena's hands that were cupping his face, grabbed Hu Liena's wrist, and tightly gripped Ye Lingling's icy fingers with his other hand. His gaze swept intensely across the three women's bright eyes, and a strong light burst forth from his otherwise dull eyes.

"I, Lin Xia, hereby swear... I vow!"

His body swayed, and his words were somewhat slurred due to the alcohol, but his determination was crystal clear.

"If I... if I succeed! If I can truly walk this path... I, Lin Xia... will never let you down in this lifetime! I will never betray the kindness you have shown me today!"

"I will treat you well... I will do everything in my power to protect you... and make sure you... get what you want!"

This vow, under the influence of alcohol and overwhelming emotions, seemed somewhat broad, yet incredibly sincere.

He elevated the "affection" between the three women to a level that required him to "treat them well" and "never let them down" for the rest of his life, subtly echoing the secret Covet in their hearts.

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if he had exhausted the last bit of strength and energy that kept him going.

The light in Lin Xia's eyes quickly faded, her body went limp, and she fell straight backward.

The overwhelming intoxication, the intense emotional outburst, and the potent aftereffects of alcohol finally overwhelmed him completely.

"Lin Xia!"

The three women gasped and quickly reached out to support his heavy body.

Looking at Lin Xia, who was completely drunk and in a deep coma in his arms, the pain on his face was replaced by peaceful sleep, but his brows were still furrowed.

The urgency on the three women's faces gradually subsided. They exchanged glances, their complex gazes meeting in the air.

Hu Liena's eyes burned with ambition, and a determined smile curved her lips.

Dugu Yan licked her lips, revealing a predatory smile, as if she were eyeing her prey.

A faint, yet incredibly resolute blush appeared on Ye Lingling's usually cool and aloof face.

"What he said..."

Hu Liena's voice trembled slightly, a Frisk of excitement and the thrill of a dream come true.

"Treat you all well..."

"I heard you."

Dugu Yan replied, her voice deep and powerful, her eyes gleaming.

"We will not let you down! We will achieve our goal!"

She deliberately repeated Lin Xia's words.

Ye Lingling gently smoothed Lin Xia's furrowed brows, her fingertips lingering over his handsome features. Though her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable authority.

"He said... and we... agreed."

She took Lin Xia's drunken ramblings as a response to their silent confession.

Lin Xia, you said it yourself!

They will treat us well!

This thought was like a brand, deeply engraved in the hearts of the three women.

They automatically ignored the fact that this was a promise Lin Xia made under immense emotion and intoxication, primarily aimed at "supporting friendship," and instead interpreted it as a tacit acquiescence and vow regarding their own feelings and future status.

"Come on, clean him up. He's not comfortable sleeping like this."

Hu Liena acted decisively, regaining her composure as a commander.

The three women worked together in perfect unison, carefully helping Lin Xia, who had collapsed into a limp heap, and led her toward the bathroom inside the room.

The process was inevitably somewhat enchanting.

She removed his robe, which was soaked with wine, and carefully wiped his burning cheeks, neck, and arms with a warm, damp towel.

The man's body Sturdy strong and powerful, and he exuded a strong presence even when unconscious.

"Hiss..."

Dugu Yan gasped, her dark green pupils contracting sharply as if burned by the sight before her, and two vibrant blushes instantly rose to her cheeks.

She has a straightforward and bold personality, but witnessing such a primal and attractive male body up close and without any defenses was still more shocking than she could have imagined.

"My God... this... you really couldn't tell this guy was dressed like that!"

She gasped in surprise in a low voice, her fingers unconsciously clenching slightly as a strong curiosity and a secret impulse began to grow within her.

A faint blush crept onto Ye Lingling's usually cool and aloof face. Her long, silvery-white eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gaze seemed to be drawn to a magnet, lingering uncontrollably on her firm and well-proportioned chest and abdominal muscles.
