Lin Yuan consolidated their remaining water.

She felt very thirsty. The temperature just now was too high, a temperature that could burn the entire earth in one second.

They didn't have much water left and they still had a long way to go.

Lin Yuan took a sip carefully, licked his lips, and fed the water in his hand to Ni Ji.

Ni Ji frowned, without even opening his eyes, and just drank two sips reluctantly from Lin Yuan's hand.

There were multiple burns on his body caused by the high temperature, but he was a sentinel with strong recovery ability, and such injuries should not make him show such a painful expression.

Lin Yuan knew that his pain came from the severe damage to his spiritual body.

In order to protect himself, he exposed his entire spiritual body to the extremely high temperature to create an escape route for them.

That was a temperature that was enough to incinerate all living things on earth in an instant.

Lin Yuan reached out and pressed his eyes, and his spiritual body dived into the sea.

The sea water looked deep and blue, with even the ripples being faint, a kind of tranquility that had lost its vitality.

It was a scorching hell just a moment ago, but as soon as I entered this familiar sea, my spirit body was enveloped by the cool sea water.

Although it was only a spiritual coolness, it seemed as if all the anger and tension in the body disappeared as well.

Feeling comfortable and at ease, Lin Yuan turned over leisurely in the sea water and swam towards the depths of the ocean.

The consensus of all people in the world is that only a guide can comfort the sentinels.

But Lin Yuan feels that this comfort is two-way. At least every time she comes to the sea, she feels that her body and mind are liberated.

There is enough space for the tentacles to extend freely.

The underwater garden is magnificent, unless it is a time of battle.

Being able to play with that cute killer whale is simply a joy and you won’t want to leave.

Of course, the only sentinel in the world who can give me this feeling is the one in front of me.

She swam for a while on the seabed, and found a big fish lying on the reef deep inside the palace.

The killer whale's beautiful black back was now severely burned over a large area, and even partially carbonized.

When Lin Yuan found the fish, it was lying on the rocks and corals, gasping for breath, and looked very pitiful.

When it saw Lin Yuan, it blinked its little eyes, whimpered in grievance, and moved its tail reluctantly.

Lin Yuan often felt that Ni Ji's mental state was in stark contrast to his actual self.

In reality, he is a tall and thin sentinel who speaks very little. However, his mental body is very cute, loves to act coquettishly, and has a chubby figure.

In this way, it seems that his spiritual body has nothing in common with his real self, at least that's what Lin Yuan himself thinks.

The tentacles felt distressed and hurriedly climbed up, stroking it carefully and entwining it in circles, smearing the mucus secreted by the tentacles all over the place.

The nightshade with its strong guiding hormone made the big fish shiver with comfort, whimper with its mouth open, and its tail sweeping among the sand and corals on the seabed.

Sweep up the pearls and shells hidden deep inside and make them roll everywhere.

Lin Yuan touched its head, and it rubbed its black kiss softly on the palm of Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan could sense its unbearable pain and its joy when being touched.

It loves itself so purely that even when it is in so much pain, it is still happy for itself to be close.

This is the depths of the underwater palace, and pearls containing memories are rolling everywhere.

Lin Yuan saw many scenes related to himself, the breakfast they had together, the battles they had participated in together, their first meeting when they were young, and the dim storage room in the white tower...

A very beautiful pearl rolled to Lin Yuan's feet. The scene inside the pearl was very dark, and the line of sight was shaking unclearly, as if it was in a nest with only a little afterglow of fire.

Lin Yuan squinted her eyes and looked. Her own face kept appearing in the picture, but the strange thing was that she didn't remember having this memory.

A dim environment, rough stone walls, sticky water sounds, and crawling tentacles.

They restrained the sentry, rolled his arms and pinned them above his head, plundered him wantonly, and did many excessive things.

Lin Yuan was stunned and picked up the pearl that contained his memories.

Those trembling fingers, flushed skin, sweat and swinging fishtails appear before your eyes from time to time? Magnify the details.

And in the perspective of that memory, there was a golden glow in the depths of his pupils, cold and merciless, with a teasing and vicious look.

Every frame seems familiar, but I can't remember when or where this happened.

What was I doing? I had no recollection of Ni Ji doing such a vile thing at that time.

She tried hard to identify the environment in the memory picture, and finally confirmed that it was in a nest deep in the dungeon in the land of pupils.

It was only in the place without pupils that he had gone through a period of darkness and lost some of his memory.

So that's the case? I did this to Xiaoyu a long time ago?

Lin Yuan carefully pulled the timeline. At that time, Ni Ji was fighting bloody battles, killing people layer by layer in the underground city alone.

Go through all kinds of difficulties to find yourself in the deepest underground lair.

So this is how I was treated in the end? I was tied up and tortured so coldly and mercilessly by myself...

No wonder he looked at me with such an indescribable and somewhat resentful look at that time.

Lin Yuan was awkwardly digging at the bottom of the sea with his tentacles.

The most outrageous thing was not what I did to Ni Ji, not arbitrarily raising his sensitivity a hundred times, not forcing him to show his whale tail, but after the other party allowed me to do whatever I wanted, I closed my eyes, said I had forgotten everything, and patted my butt to deny it.

She didn't understand what kind of mood Ni Ji was in to be able to endure facing her for such a long time.

How could he still smile at himself?

Lin Yuan covered his face and let himself drift in the underwater world for a long time.

The little killer whale was carefully comforted by the tentacles, and the burns on its back healed visibly.

The whimpering sound also turned into joyful one, and it turned over to reveal its white belly and swam in the warm ocean current.

The tentacles chased after him happily and played with him.

Lin Yuan withdrew his attention from the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

Deep in the cave, there were only the two of them.

It's a scorching hell outside, but it's very safe in here. Tiny bits of light are projected in the distance, and the dust dancing in the sunlight makes this winding underground cave feel a bit dreamy.

After his mental body was treated, Ni Ji's condition improved significantly. His brows were no longer wrinkled, and he sat up a little against the stone wall and slightly opened his eyes.

It was just because he had just finished channeling his mental energy and hadn't yet fully recovered. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, very soft, and a little confused.

He had burns from high temperatures.

Climbing in the scorching heat without a coat caused the tops and gloves to become ragged fabrics.

Lin Yuan didn't have a single blisters on her body, but a large area of ​​Ni Ji's exposed skin was burned red.

Lin Yuan helped him take off his shirt, gloves and boots.

Everyone had done their homework before coming to Shi Pang City. Everyone carried a bottle of burn ointment in their backpack. Lin Yuan took out his own and gave it to Ni Ji.

The amount is not much, so you need to be thrifty and use it sparingly.

Lin Yuan dipped the ointment with her fingertips and applied it carefully bit by bit, slowly circling the red wounds.

At first, he was very serious and meticulous, but later on, for some reason, his movements became a little different.

Those fragments of memory that I just saw on the seabed are always flickering before my eyes.

As I held onto his ankles, I realized that my mind was wandering endlessly.

The image of the red tentacles slithering around here always comes to my mind.

Ni Ji has beautiful bones and tightly packed muscles. It feels great to hold in your hand, and you can imagine his explosive power when he runs.

In addition to burns, there are many scars of varying sizes on the skin.

He is always like this, not taking good care of himself.

Lin Yuan remembered that she had given him full body treatment, removing all his old injuries. But not long after, he injured himself again.

He estimated that he was not even willing to spend time in the treatment chamber. Perhaps unless he was seriously injured and unable to move, he would not be willing to squeeze out some time to treat himself properly.

The movements of my fingertips slowed down unconsciously, and they slowly circled there, spreading the sticky plaster and touching the scars, with a vague feeling.

The movements were so slow that the person in his hands became more and more tense, and his skin was slowly covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Lin Yuan doesn’t know? Whose sweat is this? It could be Ni Ji or maybe himself.

Perhaps because there was still fire burning on the ground, she felt her palms were hot and sweaty.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Most of the sentries' injuries were on their upper bodies, and Lin Yuan checked them one by one with his fingers.

The palms, backs of hands, forearms, shoulders... these are all normal parts. Aren’t there enough cases of people helping each other bandage wounds on the battlefield?

I just don't know why, in such a semi-dark space, such a long and deep underground, at such a time and place, everything seems to be so abnormal.

The contact of skin, sweat, the sound of each other's breathing in the air, and even the heartbeats of both parties, everything is infinitely amplified.

The burn ointment had a hint of musk and slowly spread along Lin Yuan's fingertips.

Lin Yuan smeared the last bit of sticky paste on her fingertips on the sentry's collarbone. There was no injury there, and she didn't know why she did that. Her eyes followed the shiny collarbone upwards, past the rolling Adam's apple, and saw his slightly parted lips.

She knew exactly what it tasted like there.

How sweet is it?

She lowered her eyes and slowly approached Ni Ji, towards those lips.

When she was about to touch him, the sentry suddenly turned his face away and avoided her.

Lin Yuan put his hands on the wall, with a questioning look on his face.

Ni Ji was sitting with his back against the wall. She was taller than Ni Ji and was holding onto the wall with her hands.

I looked down and saw the sentry's eyes were confused, with sweat dripping down his cheeks. His breathing was not smooth, and his Adam's apple was rolling up and down. After a while, he said in a very hoarse voice,

"No, the guidance element...is not necessary anymore."

Ni Ji turned his head away, not looking at Lin Yuan at all. His eyes looked very sad, and his voice was very soft.

"If...if you are just being sympathetic, then there is no need."

If it was just like the time in the White Tower, I kissed him just out of sympathy, just to help him when he was injured, and to give him more guidance.

Would he rather not have it? This would cause him to sink into depravity and never recover.

But Lin Yuan was so close to him at the moment that he could hear everything he said and his subtle feelings clearly.

"So? How can I kiss you?" She approached the sentry and almost whispered in his ear.

"I can't sympathize with you, I can't help you, but can I do it if I really like you?"

Ni Ji's pupils trembled at that moment.

The tentacles wandering in the mental picture heard these words, stood up and applauded.

[Wow~~]

[Yes, yes]

[Finally gave it a try at a critical moment]

[Don’t say anything more, just go ahead and do what you’re best at]

The sentry in front of him was stunned. His expression of wanting to believe but not being able to believe was cuter than ever.

Her eyes were like a lake dyed with spring colors, swaying with charming shimmering light. Her neck and ears were instantly covered with red clouds.

To the extent that Lin Yuan wanted to "infinitely extend the time of waiting for the answer" so that she could carefully savor his expression.

She lowered her head and moved closer, questioning him again with her eyes.

Do I want to kiss you because I like you?

Is it okay?

Ni Ji was no longer able to speak.

So, deep underground, in a dimly lit corner, Lin Yuan gently kissed the sentry's lips.

Her technique was not very proficient, but she kissed very gently. She first touched his lips lightly to make sure he could accept it, and then deepened the kiss with warm and moist feeling.

It's very soft and tastes sweet.

She placed her hands on the cold wall and bent her head to kiss her own sentinel, delicately and slowly, cherishing and lovingly. She felt that she had rarely done anything so carefully and attentively in her entire life.

She knew almost everything about this sentinel, knew his injuries and pain, knew what kind of hell he had fallen into, witnessed his struggles and efforts, and understood what he longed for.

I like him very much. I want him to be my only partner in this world.

He also knows, is familiar with, and understands himself. He likes and tolerates everything about himself.

They fit in anywhere.

Even his smell is so fascinating to me.

I should have done this a long time ago. I wasted too much time before I figured it out.

Lin Yuan poured his greatest tenderness into this kiss, allowing Ni Ji to feel his warmth.

Make him feel that he is loved and cherished.

He is cute.

From now on, he is mine.

My very own sentinel.

I am the only one who can enjoy this sweetness.

I am the only one who knows this kind of beauty.

I don’t know how long the kiss lasted, it was so long that it was suffocating.

Lin Yuan moved away a little, and one arm quickly came up from behind, put it into the gap between her hair, and applied a little force on the back of her head, pushing her back.

She felt the strength of Ni Ji's fingers and trembled. His hot breath was so close to her that it was hot and seductive.

He came up and licked his lips eagerly but carefully.

More disorganized than myself.

Like that impulsive and cute fat fish.

At this moment, Lin Yuan admitted that he was indeed the true form of the killer whale. He looked cold and thug-like on the outside, but he was fiery, delicate and soft inside.

This feeling is so good that it makes your skin tingle and your heart beat faster than normal. The tingling sensation spreads all the way from your heart to your fingertips. It makes you tremble and want more.

Lin Yuan grabbed the sentry's hand and began to kiss the back of his hand, then his fingertips. She raised her eyes to see his expression.

It would be fine if the corners of his eyes were red, but what happened? Even his fingertips were red with shame.

Everything is sweet.

So cute.
