"You're probably not from this world, are you?" Sangonomiya Kokomi asked with a smile.
Kokomi felt fairly confident. She wanted to use her keen powers of observation to make him recognize her value.
And clearly, the fact that he was not a native of the Douluo Continent was undoubtedly one of his major secrets.
Ji Feng merely gave her a puzzled look and asked, "Are you from this world, then?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi's face darkened with exasperation. "You know what I mean. You aren't from the Douluo Continent."
"What's so strange about that? Would someone from the Douluo Continent know Sangonomiya Kokomi and the Raiden Shogun?" Ji Feng said as though it were obvious.
"...Your martial soul can actually summon me, so why would knowing my story be difficult? Even if you possessed all my memories, I wouldn't find it surprising."
Kokomi suddenly stepped forward and took Ji Feng's hand in her fair, delicate hand. That smooth, soft touch instantly sent this aging virgin's imagination running wild, and his face flushed slightly.
"Can you feel it?"
Kokomi's voice was sweet and ethereal, like a mountain spring flowing over jade, like mist and drifting clouds brushing past his ears. It was quiet, yet carried a refreshing resonance that pierced straight through him.
Naturally, Kokomi was now standing right in front of Ji Feng. He could even smell her sweet, fresh scent, while her radiant, lovely face was close enough to touch.
Ji Feng nodded vigorously. "I feel it! I feel your love, Kokomi! I'm willing to marry you!"
"You don't feel a damn thing!"
Kokomi, who had remained serene and composed ever since being summoned, finally lost her patience. She summoned a large ball of water and slammed it straight into Ji Feng's face to sober him up!
"Stop acting crazy! Focus and feel it properly!"
With a faceful of water, Ji Feng's little head, which had been controlling his body, temporarily surrendered command to his big head.
"I feel it! This time, I really feel it!"
He sensed a faint, mysterious connection between himself and Kokomi. Ji Feng could even feel that he could actively draw that connection closer, but he did not know what that meant.
"Exactly. This is my true nature. I'm a byproduct of your martial soul, and your martial soul is a byproduct of your soul. So, at the most fundamental level, I suppose I can be considered an incarnation of your soul."
Kokomi continued explaining, "And if our souls are fundamentally one, that means our memories can be shared."
"I think I know how to share our memories."
Ji Feng had a feeling that if he drew that faint, mysterious connection closer, his memories and Kokomi's would resonate and flow into one another.
"Yes. Although sharing memories can bring us closer, however..."
Before Kokomi could finish, she felt countless memories flood into her mind in an instant. They were Ji Feng's memories!
"Ah, sorry. When I heard it could bring us closer, I went ahead and shared them." Ji Feng grinned smugly.
Naturally, he could hardly wait to bring himself closer to Kokomi, this beautiful girl who was an incarnation of his soul. As for side effects, what side effects could there possibly be?!
What a fuss! No amount of side effects could matter more than snuggling up to a beautiful girl!
Kokomi felt so furious she could cough up blood! But before she could even vent her anger, the enormous mass of Ji Feng's memories flooding her mind began to erode her consciousness!
As the leader of Watatsumi Island, its Divine Priestess, a homebody strategist devoted to conserving energy, and the Pearl of Wisdom, Sangonomiya Kokomi naturally knew just how profoundly memories could influence a person.
Memories were the vessel of personality, and personality all but determined the entire sum of a person's character, interests, sexual orientation, kinks, ambitions... and everything else.
Memories flowing into one another amounted to personalities contaminating each other. Getting away with nothing more than a change in temperament would count as lucky. There was even a very high chance of developing a split personality. Simply put, she might lose the ability to tell whether she was Ji Feng or Sangonomiya Kokomi!
At that point, it could be considered death in the truest sense!
Kokomi struggled to resist the erosion of those memories, yet witnessed everything from Ji Feng's past and present lives in the first person. And since she was fundamentally an incarnation of his soul, she could not help finding herself somewhat sympathetic to his thoughts.
Actually, liking girls, wanting a harem, and wanting to turn every beautiful woman into your wife is pretty normal, right?
She even found that thought rising unbidden in her mind.
No, it isn't! What part of that is normal?! Get a grip, Sangonomiya Kokomi!
But she quickly realized something was wrong.
This is bad! This seems incredibly bad for my current situation! Surely he isn't actually going to get his way and turn me into his hot little weapon!
A powerful sense of danger surged through her, filling Kokomi with alarm!
She could only silently pray that Ji Feng would also be influenced by her and turn into an effeminate man!
After an unknown amount of time, the exchange of memories finally ended.
Meanwhile, Ji Feng felt thoroughly refreshed. To him, it had merely been like watching Sangonomiya Kokomi's life as a spectator at a movie. Besides, most of it was a story he already knew, so it had practically no effect on him at all.
After all, few people had their worldview changed by watching a movie, and Ji Feng clearly was not one of them.
When he came back to himself, he saw Kokomi leaning limply against his chest. There was no longer a trace of distance in her manner as she nestled uninhibitedly in his arms.
To Kokomi now, leaning into Ji Feng's embrace felt just like resting in her own arms.
With a beauty throwing herself into his arms, Ji Feng was naturally delighted. His wandering hand slid onto Kokomi's lovely, smooth, luminous legs in their white stockings, while Kokomi discovered, to her dismay, that she did not even want to slap his hand away!
After all, to Kokomi now, being touched by Ji Feng and being touched by her own hand were the same thing.
Seeing this, Ji Feng sighed with feeling. "Little Kokomi, you've finally washed your heart clean and turned over a new leaf! Take your big brother's advice and be a decent person! You mustn't be disloyal and unrighteous!"
The sight of his smug expression irritated Kokomi. Outwardly, she remained serene and composed, merely taking a small step back to put some distance between them. "Ji Feng, feeling pleased with yourself? It seems you haven't realized its drawbacks."
"Huh? Where are the drawbacks? Why can't I find any?" Ji Feng made a show of looking around. His flippant, self-satisfied manner made Kokomi want to fling another enormous ball of water at him and wash his brain clean, but she feared too much washing would leave this extraordinary idiot's brain thoroughly waterlogged!
At last, Ji Feng felt that his misfortune had turned to good fortune and his life was finally getting on track! Starting out with a beautiful girl whose affection was already maxed out-now that made sense!
Transmigrating into Douluo without a cheat? How the hell were you supposed to play?!
"You're treating memory sharing as far too convenient!"
"I admit that I really can't feel hostility toward you. I even feel close to you, and if you want to get intimate with me, I instinctively find it difficult to refuse. But even so, I can still force myself to do certain things through reason."
"The whole purpose of reason is to overcome emotion."
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled sweetly, then retrieved all of Ji Feng's savings from his home with practiced ease. Next, she turned, opened the door, and ran!
"Hm? Huh?! Huuuh-?!"
"Wait, why are you taking my money?! Hold on, where are you going?!"
Shocked, Ji Feng hurriedly tried to stop her, only to discover that with his useless zero soul power, he could not possibly stop Kokomi, a Vision bearer!
"Hehe! I, little Kokomi, am no slippery eel either! Naturally, I'm taking your money, running off with it, and starting that harem you love so much!"
A sly smile played at the corners of little Kokomi's lips. Her dainty feet, clad in white stockings, pumped swiftly as she merrily dashed out the door and vanished in a flash.
"Don't worry! I'm your incarnation, so my pleasure is your pleasure! I shall care for thy wives! Thou needst not worry!"
Wait! What kind of incarnation steals the original's money and runs away?! Ji Feng was so angry he nearly coughed up blood!
He frantically chased after her, but could not spot a single soul. After searching for a while, he returned home dejectedly. The moment he looked up, he saw Kokomi sitting there peacefully.
Her posture was graceful and refined, her long legs in luminous white stockings held elegantly together, her skirt falling in soft folds. Her lovely profile was bathed in gentle light, her long lashes lowered as she bent over a book. Her delicate features were warm and captivating, her entire manner calm and leisurely.
Hearing footsteps, she raised her eyes toward the returning Ji Feng. A faint smile rippled through her violet-blue eyes as she greeted him brightly. "What took you so long? You didn't really think I'd run off with your money, did you? Honestly, and after you saw my memories, too. I'm a good woman, you know. How could little Kokomi do something so heartless and disloyal?"
Her words were righteous and solemn, yet the corners of her lips kept curling upward despite herself, and her eyes brimmed with secret delight at having pulled off her prank.
