Perhaps fueled by anger, the boy's originally bright voice was now low and dangerous.

The deep echo resonated in Si Jin's ears, carrying a desire more alluring than the night itself.

Because her hair was constantly dripping water, Si Jin's eyelashes were also wet. Her upturned peach blossom eyes were naturally red. When she turned her head to look at the person behind her, she looked as if she had been bullied by someone.

But he completely ignored Dai Linyuan's hand gripping his neck and smiled irresponsibly: "Ninth Junior Brother, you scared me."

"Why are you choking me? Let go."

His voice was soft, yet it carried an imposing authority. The oppressive feeling of being trained by his senior brother for so long surged into Dai Linyuan's heart, and he subconsciously tried to let go.

But the next moment, a voice in his heart reached his ears: [How fierce! If he dared to press my head down, and then… sigh, never mind, I doubt he'd dare.]

Upon hearing this, Dai Linyuan, who was about to let go, paused for only a second before tightening his grip again.

Then she suddenly lifted Si Jin's neck up, forcing him to look up at her.

With this action, a splashing sound suddenly rang out from the bathtub, and water droplets splashed out, shimmering slightly under the bright moonlight.

Before he could react, Dai Linyuan quickly lowered his head and kissed him deeply.

The kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time. Si Jin felt her neck was a little sore and her breathing was a little difficult, so she tentatively raised her hand, hooked her arm around Dai Linyuan's neck, and pulled him hard into the water.

Splash—

Dai Linyuan was forced to step one leg into the bathtub. Because his knee was bent, he stumbled and fell straight in, his head spinning.

Just then, the senior brother's extremely imposing voice rang out from above: "How dare you force me! Get out!"

Get up and keep going, I like it.

A voice and a thought entered Dai Linyuan's ears one after the other, causing Dai Linyuan to be momentarily dazed.

But she quickly followed her heart, struggled to get up, picked up her tiny silver bracelet, no bigger than a baby's wrist, and her eyes shone with sincerity brighter than the stars in the night sky: "Senior brother, you said during the day that if someone gave you something more precious than life itself, you would marry him. Is that true?"

"Yes." Si Jin tidied her messy, wet hair at her temples, deliberately making things difficult for her: "But Ninth Junior Brother, do you also have the same peace and blessings as Master and the others?"

“No, but I have this.” Dai Linyuan reached out and took out a silver ring: “This is something I’ve worn on my wrist since I was a child, and I’ve kept it ever since I grew up.”

“When I went to the secret realm for training before, an immortal told me that there are powerful life-saving spells from the outside world here. That’s why I was able to survive even though my parents died. I want to give them to you.”

Dai Linyuan spoke up: "I have no father or mother, no roots or origins, and this is the most precious thing I have. Senior Brother, would you be willing to accept it? Would you be willing to... wear it?"

Si Jin looked at the small bracelet and raised her wrist: "I can't wear it. This thing is for babies."

"Sure, Senior Brother." As he spoke, Dai Linyuan's tone gradually became dangerous as he slowly approached the person.

He muttered in a harsh tone, "You can do it."

… …

The night was cool and still. Si Jin was held in Dai Linyuan's arms in a rebellious manner, carefully feeling the divine power condensed in the silver ring on his body.

This is A Yuan's divine power, a divine power to prevent him from having nightmares again if he is ever affected by the Heavenly Lord...
