Although Qi Ling preserved Hai Wei'er's last shred of clarity in this way, preventing her from losing herself in the power of the ocean, it was still not enough.
The Heart of the Ocean continues to devour Hai Wei'er's emotions, turning her into a heartless being like the ocean itself. If Hai Wei'er can endure this, she will gain the Heart of the Heart of the Ocean's approval; if she cannot, then all is lost.
"This won't do. It seems we need to give Wei'er a stronger stimulus to wake her up." Qi Ling said, looking at Hai Wei'er's body, and comforted herself, "This... I didn't mean to take advantage of you, I'm doing this all to save you!"
Then, Qi Ling reached out his hand to Hai Wei'er. Although he had already learned how fair and smooth Hai Wei'er's skin was yesterday, feeling it again today was still irresistible.
"This girl is really like a fish! She's so slippery, I can't even hold her!" Qi Ling couldn't help but exclaim.
With Qi Ling's efforts, Hai Wei'er kept making soft sounds, and the emotions in her eyes became more intense, but she was still in an instinctive state, and her consciousness had not fully recovered.
Qi Ling's actions were becoming unbearable, so he said to Hai Wei'er, " Wei'er, in this situation, I think there's only one way I can help you! I think you'll agree, right?"
"Okay, since you haven't objected, I'll take that as your agreement. It was supposed to hurt a bit, but you're not feeling anything now, which is probably a good thing, right?"
So, Qi Ling then used her own methods to help Hai Wei'er rediscover her feelings! Qi Ling had already done enough preparation, so there was absolutely no need to worry.
Ultimately, even in this state of physical condition, Hai Wei'er still felt pain. But as the pain subsided, Hai Wei'er's spirits gradually recovered, and she finally awoke.
" Qi Ling? What are you doing here? And with me..." Hai Wei'er asked Qi Ling in a daze.
"Ah, well, that's a long story." Even Qi Ling felt her face burning, unsure where to begin her explanation. " Wei'er, you have to believe me, I did all this to save you."
"Save me? You, this is how you save people?" Hai Wei'er, now fully conscious, blushed and said, "I, I'm still undergoing the test of the Heart of the Ocean! This is even greater than the Sea God, it's the embodiment of the ocean itself! This, this is far too improper!"
"Hehe, Wei'er, it's not that I want to bully you, but if you want to withstand the power of the Heart of the Ocean and keep your will from being corrupted, then there's only one way!" Qi Ling laughed, "Only by keeping your emotions high can you absorb the power of the Heart of the Ocean."
"You mean, if I want to absorb the Heart of the Ocean, I have to accept your 'help' like this?" Hai Wei'er suppressed the urge to cry out and said to Qi Ling, "This... how can there be such a way to absorb it! Qi Ling, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could that be? It's absolutely true," Qi Ling said. "Otherwise, once your emotions calm Wei'er, you would lose consciousness again and be swallowed by the ocean."
"But, but how long will it take me to absorb the Heart of the Ocean?" Hai Wei'er couldn't help but ask.
"In my estimation, it will take at least twelve hours," Qi Ling said. "And this isn't about you absorbing it, but simply getting used to its power and gaining its approval."
"My God, twelve hours?" Hai Wei'er exclaimed. "Twelve hours? That means I have to stay like this with you the whole time?"
" Wei'er, your body is naturally special, nothing will happen to you! Aren't all Mermaid Tribe like this?"
"That's another mermaid, not me," Hai Wei'er said worriedly.
"Oh no, that won't happen. Besides, the Heart of the Ocean is continuously healing you. You can hold on until the absorption is complete," Qi Ling laughed. "After all, maintaining a high mood for twelve hours is the only way."
"Then... are you alright?" Hai Wei'er couldn't help but ask curiously. This seemed different from what she had heard. Could there really be such a big difference between humans?
" Wei'er, a man can't say he can't, and he can't be told he can't!" Qi Ling said with a smile as he kissed her lips.
This situation was completely unexpected. Qi Ling brought Hai Wei'er to the stone platform, used it as a bed, and placed Hai Wei'er under herself.
As time went by, Hai Wei'er gradually came to believe Qi Ling's words. As the reincarnation of the Dragon God and the Blood Devil, his stamina was astonishing! Hai Wei'er even wondered if Qi Ling could keep going indefinitely if he wanted to.
Not only that, Qi Ling always found new ways to bully her, which broadened Hai Wei'er's horizons. She even finally realized how excellent her body's flexibility was!
Twelve hours passed gradually, and the light emanating from the Heart of the Ocean around Hai Wei'er's neck grew fainter and fainter until it finally dimmed completely, signifying that Hai Wei'er had finally passed the test of the Heart of the Heart of the Ocean and successfully gained recognition.
When the test finally ended, the two of them completed the final step. Hai Wei'er lay in Qi Ling's arms, still unable to believe that they had actually succeeded!
" Qi Ling, you..." Hai Wei'er said, "I finally understand what Xiao Wu meant back then. So she was looking for teammates?"
"What? You never believed me all this time? Well, it seems I need to prove myself," Qi Ling said with a smile.
Qi Ling's joke startled Hai Wei'er, who shook her head and said, "No, no, Qi Ling, let me rest for a bit!"
