Just as Ah Yin had expected, after a round with Ji Feng, not only had her level risen dramatically, bringing her to a level 70 Soul Emperor, but more importantly, the very essence of her life had been elevated!
Her Blue Silver Domain was ten times as effective as before, and her current vitality was worlds apart from what it had been. She also understood life more deeply. Ah Yin felt that she could now help an ordinary blue silver grass martial soul evolve into a Blue Silver King!
Even without being in the Blue Silver Forest, she could perform the second awakening of a blue silver grass martial soul all by herself! She felt that, with a little effort, she might even be able to get Ji Feng a blue silver emperor martial soul just like hers!
She could hardly wait to draw their relationship even closer!
During their carnal feast, Ah Yin had also realized that Ji Feng truly was different from ordinary people. Human bodies generally contained all sorts of impurities, yet his body was so pure that he felt to her like some kind of spirit of life that had taken human form.
Ah Yin guessed that his innate Soul Power had been zero when they first met because his constitution was simply too pure, rejecting Soul Power as an impurity.
"Ah Yin! I want to lie down!" Ji Feng said weakly, his face looking utterly drained.
"Of course!"
Seeing him like this, Ah Yin felt a little guilty. She seemed to have gone somewhat overboard. Tender affection deepened in her beautiful eyes, and at Ji Feng's request, she crossed her fair, soft legs and let him rest his head on her thigh.
At the same time, Ah Yin manifested her blue silver emperor martial soul and used a Soul Skill to soothe and heal his body.
Looking at Ah Yin, whose tenderness flowed like water, Ji Feng recalled their first meeting. The blue-haired woman before him had looked at him with disdain back then and tried to fleece him just because he had stolen a few extra glances at her lovely legs. Now, however, she obediently offered him her lap as a pillow. A smug smile could not help spreading across his face.
"What is it? Did you think of something nice?" Ah Yin asked softly, her delicate hand gently stroking his face.
"Heh! I remembered how you looked down on me when we first met!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't look down on you! Didn't I let you help me acquire the shop in the end, and even give you medicine?" Ah Yin hurriedly explained.
"Weren't you just treating me like a sucker?"
"I'm sorry! If you really can't let it go, I promise I'll make it up to you twice over from now on. Please don't hold it against me!" Ah Yin pleaded pitifully, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.
"I can't live without you anymore, Feng!"
Ah Yin confessed her love, her tone almost reverent, her beautiful eyes fixed unblinkingly on Ji Feng.
"Without you, I'd rather die."
These were no flippant words spoken in jest. Ah Yin's voice was solemn as she earnestly made her promise with almost religious devotion.
Lying on her lap, Ji Feng looked up at that breathtakingly beautiful face. Seeing the sincerity of her feelings, he could not help looking moved and a little shy. When had he ever heard such a stunning beauty confess her heartfelt love to him?
For a moment, even his desire to build a harem almost faded. But then he reconsidered. Ah Yin was already so wonderful-wouldn't having more girls be even better?!
Besides, Ji Feng felt that their fates in the original story were far too tragic. Reduced to stepping stones for God King Tang, they needed him to save them!
It was all for the great love in his heart!
He quickly convinced himself. Taking Ah Yin's little hand with an equally sincere gaze, he asked casually, "Ah Yin, wasn't it during our second meeting, after I fused with Nahida, that your affection for me became so strong?"
"Mm..." Ah Yin's feminine sixth sense vaguely warned her that something was amiss. She gave him a gentle smile. "Why bring that up all of a sudden? Rest here for a while, and then I'll take you home and cook something delicious for you myself!"
Ji Feng continued pressing her. "Then is your love for me instinct, or do you really like me?"
He clasped her soft little hand, his eyes teasing.
"Ah Yin, do you truly love me? Or are you just lusting after me because your body's instincts are driving you?"
He posed a soul-searching question that turned the natural order upside down.
"H-how am I supposed to prove that?!"
Faced with this age-old conundrum, Ah Yin was at a complete loss.
"Then I'm willing to sacrifice myself to you, Feng! That should prove my love, right?"
"I really do love you!" Ah Yin said, feeling wronged.
"No! Love isn't sacrifice. It's acceptance! I don't want you to sacrifice yourself, Ah Yin!"
At last, Ji Feng unrolled the map and revealed the dagger concealed within.
"Acceptance?" Though deeply moved that Ji Feng had refused even her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, Ah Yin still did not understand what he meant.
Ji Feng continued gently guiding her, speaking with earnest gravity. "Love is great acceptance. I want to become someone with great love! I need your support, Ah Yin."
"You love me, so you can accept everything about me, right?" Ji Feng asked softly, squeezing her little hand.
"Of course! The Blue Silver Emperor lineage's feelings are utterly sincere! Once I chose you, Feng, I would never love anyone else! Whatever you want to do, even if you want my life, I'm willing to give it!" Ah Yin vowed.
"I was born starved of love, and I want to be loved by more girls! Surely you'd be willing to fulfill this tiny wish of mine too, Ah Yin!"
"Of course! I..." Ah Yin agreed instinctively, but only after the words had left her mouth did she realize what Ji Feng had said.
"W-what do you mean, loved by more girls?!"
Ah Yin almost wondered whether something was wrong with her ears and she had misheard him.
"Ah Yin! Don't you love me?!" Ji Feng suddenly raised his voice, accusing her with feigned helplessness. "You won't even fulfill or accept such a tiny request! That clearly isn't love. It's just your instinct to possess me!"
"I finally thought I'd found someone who genuinely loved me, but even you won't grant such a tiny wish... I really am..."
He heaved a mournful sigh.
Ah Yin's heart ached for him. She hurriedly embraced Ji Feng and said with deep affection, "I understand! I love you! I'm willing to accept it! No matter how many girls you find, I'll accept them all! That should prove I love you, right?"
Holding Ji Feng, Ah Yin hastily comforted him. She kept feeling that she had fallen for a trick, but by now she was caught in the trap of having to prove herself.
To prove her true love, she wanted to agree to any condition.
Moreover, Ji Feng had already persuaded her. She, too, felt that if she could not even accept a request like this, how could it count as love? Having three wives and four concubines was commonplace on the Douluo Continent anyway.
Still, thinking about other women just after finishing with her was a little much, Ah Yin felt!
Only then did Ji Feng look at Ah Yin with shining eyes. Clasping her hand, he asked excitedly, "Then will you actively help me win over other girls, Ah Yin?"
"...I will!" Ah Yin nodded with considerable difficulty.
I ought to dye my blue hair green.
"When you want to pursue other girls, Feng, I'll just pretend to be your older sister..." She gave a graceful smile, feigning nonchalance as she offered the suggestion herself. Yet as she spoke, her nose suddenly stung despite herself, and her expression dimmed.
"But..."
She embraced Ji Feng gently yet firmly, her soft, delicate body enveloping his sturdy frame as she drew him into her arms with a hint of insistence. Her red lips brushed his ear, her voice soft and sweet yet clear, threaded with affection and pleading.
"Please, don't abandon me, all right?"
