Hearing this, Dongfang Yu forced a smile at Angewomon.
"If I told you to stop, would you listen?"
Angewomon frowned. "If I don't help you, it'll be difficult for you to resist it with your willpower alone. It is best at beguiling people's hearts."
Dongfang Yu tried to put some distance between them, no longer maintaining such intimate contact.
"Don't move."
"Angewomon, I want to ask you a question."
Angewomon was still continuously transferring her source power, and her expression had never looked worse.
"Ask."
"If you were given a chance right now, would you be willing to return to the Digital World?" Dongfang Yu asked weakly, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
Rather than answering, Angewomon asked, "What did it tell you?"
"I really want to know the answer." Dongfang Yu did not answer her question either.
Angewomon sighed. "No."
"Why?"
"Because I want to stay with you. You haven't become a god yet, so how could I rest easy leaving you?" Angewomon answered sincerely, without a trace of falsehood in her tone.
"Do you really like me?" Dongfang Yu smiled helplessly.
That question stumped Angewomon again.
For about half a minute, she did not answer.
Just as Dongfang Yu was about to speak again, Angewomon finally replied, "Yes, I like you. I really do."
"I..."
"You want to know why I like you? Then make it through this trial. When the time comes, I'll definitely tell you why." Angewomon interrupted him.
Dongfang Yu murmured, "Yes... I'll hold on."
"I have one more question."
Angewomon was somewhat irritated, because his questions kept distracting her. Yet she could not stop him, so she could only let him continue.
"You're a beast, and I'm human. If we... if we really got together... do you think we could have children?"
"What?"
