After their lips parted, Sister Tree pressed her forehead against his and said, "Only Daoist partners can kiss. Lian Yao, are you my Daoist partner now?"
Lian Yao thought back to how she hadn't known her feelings for him before, and all the reasons and excuses she had come up with. She found it somewhat amusing.
At that moment, she met his gaze calmly and replied, "Yes."
The two stood in a desolate place, where the land was originally cracked and there were only a few sparse withered grasses.
Suddenly, the earth was covered with flowers and green grass, full of vitality.
The big tree beside them, thanks to Sister Tree's previous encouragement to grow, had already grown lush and had blossomed with small white flowers.
At this moment, all the flower buds are in full bloom, and the entire tree is almost devoid of green leaves. From a distance, it looks like a tree with clouds in bloom.
Lian Yao knew that this was because Sister Tree was a tree spirit, and her emotions affected the surrounding environment.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Sister Tree: "Are you that happy?"
"So happy! (*^▽^*)~"
Sister Tree suddenly pounced on him, throwing him onto the carpet of grass on the ground and showering him with kisses on his face and neck.
"It tickles, haha, stop it!" Lian Yao laughed as she dodged him.
The two rolled around on the grass a few times before finally calming down.
Lying side by side on the grass, Lian Yao looked up at the sky and suddenly wanted to laugh.
If those familiar with me from the Flower Realm and the Dao Palace saw this casual side of me, they would probably be astonished.
Lian Yao suddenly remembered something else and asked, "Sister Shu, did you choose your own name, or did someone else choose it for you?"
"You named it," Sister Tree said.
"???"
Lian Yao turned her head to look at him, "Me?"
"Yes." Sister Tree nodded affirmatively.
Lian Yao knew that he wouldn't lie, and he certainly wouldn't lie to him.
Recalling everything that had happened since their meeting, Lian Yao began to understand: "Did we know each other before?"
Sister Tree nodded.
"That must have been before I was six years old. My memories from before were erased. After some time, we'll go to the underworld to see if we can recover my memories..."
"By the way, you still don't know what the Underworld is." Lian Yao added, "The Underworld is a vast world, the final resting place for all the dead from countless worlds. The scenery and laws there are completely different from those of smaller worlds. I'll take you there to explore when the time comes!"
"good."
Lian Yao said, "I was still young then, so I must not have given you a proper name. How about I give you a new name as your Daoist title?"
"good."
Lian Yao met his eyes and smiled, saying, "Then let's call you Ye Chen. Your eyes are like the stars in the night."
"Ye Chen," Ye Chen said, reciting his new name.
"Don't you like it?" Lian Yao asked, looking at the expression on his face.
Ye Chen shook his head repeatedly: "I really like the name you chose."
Lian Yao said, "If anyone asks you for your Daoist name in the future, just tell them that you are Lord Ye Chen."
God is the highest title, and even his master Honglin is a divine ruler.
However, Honglin was the first deity in the chaos and the ancestor who passed down the lineage of becoming a god. Strictly speaking, all the immortals and gods in the myriad realms were actually his disciples.
The gods and immortals called him the Ancestral God to show their respect for him.
He couldn't fathom Ye Chen's strength, but his cultivation was definitely higher than his own, so calling him a Divine Lord wasn't wrong.
"Lord Yechen," Yechen pointed to himself, then to Lianyao, "Lord Lianyao."
Lian Yao nodded and smiled slightly.
"Night Star God Lord and Lotus Radiance God Lord are Daoist partners!"
Lian Yao: "..."
Ye Chen suddenly sat up and placed his hand on his chest.
Strands of golden-green light emanated from his chest and coalesced into a golden-green bead in his palm.
"Here you go!" His face was slightly pale as he handed the bead, which radiated a strong vitality, to Lian Yao.
"This is your life-bound soul pill, how could you give it to me!"
"This is for you... your birthday present," Ye Chen said in a trembling voice.
"Idiot, who gives a natal pill as a gift!" Lian Yao said, both angry and amused. "I celebrate my birthday every year, so what are you going to give me next year?"
Ye Chen said blankly, "That's all... there's only this one."
Lian Yao said, "Then take it back, I don't want it."
Ye Chen pouted, looking like he was about to cry.
His natal pill was full of vitality and spiritual energy. In just a short while after he took it out, the nearby plants and trees began to grow wildly.
Lian Yao quickly used his divine sense to envelop it, preventing the life force inside from leaking out.
Ye Chen then took the opportunity to release his grip.
The crystal-clear, golden-green bead was controlled by Lian Yao's divine sense to float in the air.
"You really are..."
Lian Yao could only put the bead into his body for now. "I'll just keep it for you temporarily. As for the birthday present..."
He looked at Ye Chen, whose face had regained its smile because he had accepted the bead, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"That's enough."
Just as Ye Chen was about to pull away from his lips, he pressed his head down and deepened the kiss.
Now, Lianyao carries his scent.
I love it.
The two hugged and kissed for a long time, rolling around in the grass several times.
"Have you kissed enough? It's almost dark."
Seeing that Ye Chen was about to kiss him again, Lian Yao quickly reached out and covered his mouth to stop him from continuing.
"Get up first, we need to pay a visit to the master of this realm."
Spending a whole day in someone else's little world, and even altering the seasons and rules to give rise to so many flowers, plants, and trees, while not a serious offense, is still somewhat impolite.
Ye Chen reluctantly let go of him.
The two stood up, and Lian Yao looked at the tree behind them covered with light pink petals. He sensed a newly born, tender soul within the tree.
This tree absorbed the life force emanating from Ye Chen's natal pill and has already developed sentience.
Lian Yao smiled and said, "This tree can be considered our betrothal tree, so let's give it a chance!"
As he spoke, he implanted a cultivation technique suitable for plants into its sea of consciousness.
As for how much it can comprehend, that depends on its future destiny.
Not long after the two left, the flowering trees behind them swayed slightly in the wind, drooping their branches in the direction they had left.
