Kong Mingan's voice was deep, his words carrying an inexplicable feeling that lingered in her mind. Gu Yue fell silent, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes. She couldn't think of a good way to handle this situation at all. As expected, she was never suited to be a leader; she couldn't even handle a small matter like this...
"No rush, take your time. You'll be able to think of a way..."
He whispered softly in front of her, watching her patiently as his fingertips traced faint circles on her waist. He was in no hurry. The Dragon King Young Miss was like this—her temperament had to be adjusted bit by bit; it couldn't be rushed. He was exceptionally patient with the Dragon King Young Miss.
After a long while, Gu Yue took a deep breath as if she had made a decision. She then raised her black eyes and looked at Kong Mingan seriously. "Just let Qiu'er stay by your side."
"Alright."
Without hesitation, Kong Mingan nodded and agreed immediately. Then he asked, "But what about after she stays? You know Qiu'er's temperament; she definitely won't give up. If she keeps acting like this, I can hardly guarantee I'll be able to restrain myself every time."
"You must keep refusing her." Gu Yue stared at him, her eyes full of seriousness.
"That works too," Kong Mingan nodded, still not refusing. But in the next moment, he asked, "But what's the price? What do you plan to trade for it?"
Gu Yue took another deep breath, as if using all her strength to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "I'll... take her place."
"You'll take her place?" Kong Mingan chuckled, pulling her closer with a slight exertion of his arm. He looked directly into her black eyes. "Don't forget, this was already part of the contract. Everything of yours is mine, and you are already at my disposal. How is this a 'price'?"
Gu Yue was unusually calm. A faint, brilliant purple glint naturally flowed deep within her black eyes, carrying a touch of determination. She met his gaze and said word by word, "But your dominance and my initiative are two different things."
Kong Mingan raised an eyebrow. Gu Yue pursed her lips and proactively moved closer to him, her cool voice carrying a strange allure. "If you dominate me, you only get my body. If I'm unwilling to cooperate, I could even cut off my five senses, leaving you to toy with a warm doll. Would you find that interesting?"
With a calmness that suppressed a tremble, she stared intently into his eyes without flinching. "But if I cooperate with you voluntarily, it will definitely be much more interesting."
Kong Mingan fell silent for a moment, a hint of strangeness rising in his heart.
He hadn't even started training her seriously yet, had he? How could it be that after just leaving the Dragon King Young Miss alone for a while, she started... training herself? What was this?
His thoughts shifting, he spoke in a deliberately casual tone, "Maybe I just like this reluctant look of yours?"
A flash of determination crossed Gu Yue's eyes. "Try it, and you'll find out."
Kong Mingan paused. Before he could react, Gu Yue's figure rapidly enlarged before his eyes. A coolness touched his lips, which quickly melted into a warm tenderness. Her movements were clearly inexperienced yet exceptionally resolute as she took the initiative to let that sweetness flow between their meeting lips and teeth. His thoughts began to sink, but Kong Mingan quickly regained his senses, his eyes flickering. The next moment, he gently supported Gu Yue's supple waist with one hand and embraced her back with the other, taking control. With a slight turn of his steps, he pressed her against the edge of the table behind her. Gu Yue was forced to lean back, supporting herself on the tabletop with one hand to maintain her balance. However, as time passed and the sweetness between their lips deepened, she felt her body grow slightly weak. Wait, how is this guy so experienced?
Gu Yue was somewhat dazed. Logically speaking, she was a Divinity after all. She shouldn't be this lacking in resistance, and she shouldn't be reduced to such a pathetic state by a mere kiss, right?
Something was wrong... very wrong. She felt her body becoming strange, soft and powerless. An inexplicable panic rose in her heart as she tried to break free. However, the instant she gathered a trace of spirit power, a deep-level connection was abruptly established between them. Her spirit power began to uncontrollably blend and converge with his, followed by a familiar sense of fullness that instantly swept through her entire body. It was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
In just an instant, Gu Yue confirmed her current state with Kong Mingan. But why now?
Gu Yue instinctively felt doubt, but in the next moment, she "saw" something. It seemed to be a "Domain," a very small one with a radius of only about two or three meters. The "Domain" was formless and intangible, centered on the youth pressing down on her and covering the surroundings. Within this tiny Domain, all the elemental Energy she could see was in an inexplicably strange state, as if... it was being interfered with by some kind of will. Gu Yue suddenly realized something. She forced her gradually sinking consciousness to try and mobilize the power within her body, but...
The power within her body, which she once wielded as easily as her own limbs and was comparable to that of a Divinity, was now as motionless as a deep pool, completely out of her control. A hint of helplessness appeared in the depths of her hazy eyes. In the next moment, the Energy within her body suddenly fluctuated. Gu Yue's helplessness faltered, but then she felt that power belonging to her begin to flow through her body, settling into her limbs and bones like a series of shackles, completely locking away her remaining physical strength. Everything fell into silence.
What on earth is going on?!
Gu Yue completely lost her composure. She wanted to push him away, but one of her hands was held tightly by him, and the other had to support her on the tabletop to keep her from collapsing. She couldn't spare a hand at all. Now, she could only passively endure.
Time stretched on, and everything was completely locked away. Gu Yue felt as if she truly were just an ordinary human without even any spirit power. As their lips and teeth met, her consciousness grew increasingly blurred. Finally, just moments before she was about to suffocate and faint, Kong Mingan released her. "Ha... ha..."
Gu Yue panted heavily, her body limp and weak, almost entirely dependent on leaning into his embrace to stay upright. Yet at this moment, she had no time to care about her shame. Forcing her eyes open, Gu Yue used all her strength to grab his collar, her voice trembling slightly, "What... what did you do?"
Kong Mingan's hand supporting her slender waist remained steady, discovering that the Dragon King Young Miss felt soft when held like this. He lowered his eyes and reached out to gently tidy the hair on her forehead, which was damp with sweat. His gaze was peaceful: "I didn't do much. I just used the state of SpiritFusion to temporarily take control of your power and then had your power seal itself."
"Just"... that?
Gu Yue couldn't help but mutter in her heart, but what followed was a sense of powerlessness that seeped deep into her bones.
