Gu Yue was somewhat dazed.
That feeling of all her power vanishing completely, of being so fragile as to be broken by a single blow, where even the breathlessness from a mere kiss could make her feel the sensation of death—it was simply too vivid. Even though she felt slightly better now, that feeling still lingered in her mind, deep in her bones, impossible to forget.
Feeling the young girl's body in his arms trembling uncontrollably due to forced suppression, Kong Mingan slightly loosened his hold on her. Instantly, Gu Yue felt as if some sort of shackle had been unlocked. Her own majestic power returned to her body, bringing a long-awaited sense of security. Moreover, that sense of fullness she craved, brought by the massive computational support of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, once again filled her entire being. "Mm..."
Gu Yue couldn't help but let out a strange sound. Leaning her body against Kong Mingan, she pressed one hand firmly over her mouth, blocking all the strange noises.
To transform from a Divinity into a Mortal who had nothing and could only be manipulated and bullied, and then back from a Mortal into a Divinity—the ups and downs of such a change were not something just anyone could endure.
Her heavy breathing gradually calmed. Possessing the power of a Divinity, she naturally wasn't as fragile as before, and wouldn't go soft all over just from a slight touch... Tsk, this guy's power is clearly so formidable, why does he always use it in such strange ways?
Gu Yue couldn't stop the doubts in her heart. She felt that while this guy appeared indifferent on the surface, he wasn't serious at all. However... Gu Yue let out a soft breath, her front leaning against the youth's chest and her hands resting on his shoulders. Her black eyes suppressed the emotions disturbing her thoughts, and then she met his gaze. "How does it feel?"
Inexplicably, she was full of confidence in her own question.
Kong Mingan remained silent. He looked at the girl in his arms who had regained her cool demeanor, then at the faint blush on her face. His gaze paused slightly. He felt as if he had suddenly discovered some strange attributes of the Dragon KingYoung Miss. Why did he feel an inexplicable urge to try more?
Kong Mingan's thoughts shifted, and he then chuckled softly, "It's, not bad?"
"Then you've agreed?" Gu Yue stared at him intently, her eyes flickering slightly.
Why does it feel like you're actually quite happy?
Kong Mingan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling something was off, but he still nodded. "I won't take the initiative to act against Qiu'er. But if she takes the initiative to attack me like today, then you will be the one to bear the consequences in her place, just like what happened just now."
Gu Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as Qiu'er could remain safe and sound, she didn't care what happened to herself. After a brief pause, Gu Yue seemed to think of something else. As if having made a greater resolution, she added intermittently, "Next time, you can ask for... a bit more. I... will pay it all back."
"
When did I train you to be like this?
Kong Mingan felt it was strange in his heart, but he didn't refuse. "Then next time, change into that work uniform." Gu Yue paused slightly and unconsciously pursed her lips. Then, she closed her eyes. Um... this is for Qiu'er, just for Qiu'er, not for any other reason, just for Qiu'er... She repeated this in her heart several times, and her original resistance slowly dissipated. Gu Yue opened her eyes and nodded seriously, "I understand."
Kong Mingan understood and released his hold on Gu Yue. Then, with a thought, he ended the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state.
In an instant, Gu Yue felt that intoxicating sense of fullness recede like a tide. A strong sense of loss almost immediately seized her mind. Ever since that deep Martial Soul Fusion Skill state that lasted for over a month, that extreme sensation of having her life level elevated felt as if it were etched into her very bones. It had taken her a long time to adapt back to her normal state. However, this SpiritFusion was like drinking poison to quench thirst; not only did it fail to satisfy her, but it also stirred up an even deeper longing. Coupled with the sensation of falling from a Divinity to a Mortal and then back to a Divinity, that drop and rise left her feeling an indescribable discomfort deep within her body.
She couldn't stay here anymore, or else heaven knows if she would be unable to stop herself from doing something strange. She backed away silently, her steps slightly labored as she pulled away. Then she said in a low voice, "I'm leaving first."
Kong Mingan nodded.
Afterward, Gu Yue said no more and directly vanished into the silent spatial ripples that expanded beside her. Kong Mingan withdrew his gaze; there was no hint of urgency in his eyes. He would take it slow.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several more days had gone by. Today, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament officially opened. Inside the Grand Arena, the crowd was boisterous, with tens of thousands of people cheering together. In the VIP boxes at the very top, which offered the best views and were reserved for those of noble status, several figures were seated. Kong Mingan leaned leisurely against a comfortable sofa, looking down at the academy teams entering one by one, drawing constant exclamations from the audience. Then, as the grand finale, the veteran powerhouse Shrek Academy team received the most enthusiastic cheers as usual. Afterward, the Star Luo Emperor, Xu Jiawei, stood on the high platform to give the opening speech, and the competition officially began.
He watched calmly, his gaze lingering briefly on the Shrek Academy team before withdrawing to the newspaper spread out in his hand. In a quite prominent position on the newspaper page, a striking bounty notice was published regarding the latest appearance of an Evil Soul Master in Star Luo City, reminding citizens to stay safe.
Kong Mingan looked at the newspaper with interest. Ice Empress, sitting beside him, didn't habitually lean into his arms as she usually did. Instead, with a hint of inexplicable wariness, her gaze fell upon the maid who stood silently on the other side of the box. That's right, it was Qiu'er.
Qiu'er was still wearing that exquisite black and white maid outfit, her posture upright and her face calm. Her eyes still held a hint of pride and stubbornness. Unable to help herself, Ice Empress leaned closer to Kong Mingan and asked in a low voice, "What's with this girl? Why is she still here?"
Kong Mingan didn't even lift his eyelids as he replied calmly, "As you can see, she's a maid."
Ice Empress frowned, her tone carrying dissatisfaction. "You guy! Isn't it enough having me with you? You had to get a maid?!"
"She's willing," Kong Mingan interrupted her.
"You take her just because she's willing?" Ice Empress glared at him.
"I gave it to you whenever you wanted it too."
"It's not that you..."
Ice Empress was momentarily at a loss for words, but she was still very unhappy in her heart. Could it be that this guy is just open to anyone?!
Ice Empress was huffing with anger. She turned her head to size up Qiu'er again, her gaze lingering for a moment particularly on the other girl's full chest, which was perfectly outlined by the maid outfit. Then she fell into a slight silence. Damn it, why is everyone bigger than me? Only that purple-haired little girl is slightly better...
But soon, Ice Empress turned her head back to look at Kong Mingan, her tone exceptionally serious. "Get me a set of that outfit she's wearing too."
Kong Mingan paused and finally turned his head, blinking his eyes with a look of genuine confusion on his face. "Huh?"
