Just now, seeing Xilin's detached and otherworldly appearance, as if she was about to transcend the mundane world, Ning Feng couldn't help but smile.
It looks like it's in a sage mode.
I've already been very understanding of beginners, haven't I?
He is already trying his best to restrain his kingly power.
I am a [Succubus Bloodline Awakener], [Master of Whip and Staff Weapons], [Master of Online Resource Appreciation and Sharing], and [A Beloved Mentor for Beginners]...
Cough cough cough.
In short, you shouldn't be so disappointed to be under my command, right?
Besides, you have a legendary physique, which already makes you much stronger than some awakened individuals with angelic bloodlines.
At least now you still have the mind to think about the origin of the universe, instead of falling asleep under the dual attack of fatigue and comfort.
Be content, you've already done pretty well!
Or are you silently telling me that you can still fight?
With his mind churning, Ning Feng held Xilin, his thoughts wandering aimlessly.
In fact, Shirin wasn't the only one who entered "sage mode."
Ning Feng was in the same state, but with his rich experience, he was better able to adapt to this feeling.
Perhaps they didn't experience the ultimate physical pleasure, but spiritually, both of them were satisfied.
Things will fall into place naturally.
This is easier said than done, and the process is actually quite difficult.
From the moment they met, their relationship progressed steadily, gradually leading them to become lovers.
After that, although progress continued, the two of them never took that final step.
That's too fast.
Both of them knew this and were worried about it.
For Xilin, the time she spent with Ning Feng was extremely short compared to nearly three hundred years, but it outweighed the long, lonely years she had endured.
She cherished this relationship immensely and was afraid of what might happen after crossing that threshold.
Will they continue to love each other like this forever?
Will she, like those she has seen in the past, experience love that begins but eventually fades into indifference, or even turns into hatred?
If Shirin were only eighteen, she might have been willing to risk everything for this love, even knowing it was a trap.
But she wasn't.
Over the course of nearly three hundred years, she had witnessed too much, and the longer she lived, the less she dared to take a step forward.
She felt uneasy about that kind of future.
After realizing that Xin was not fully prepared, Ning Feng did not rush things and gave her time to make her choice.
All the previous progress was driven by Ning Feng alone, while Xilin mostly passively accepted it.
Actually, this is also a good opportunity.
What he hoped for was not a one-sided pursuit or acquiescence, but a mutually beneficial outcome.
As for the result, although some time has passed, it still looks perfect now.
She chose to take that step herself.
Xilin finally broke free from the cage that had imprisoned her for three hundred years and walked towards Ning Feng's side.
Now, anyone who asks her a question like "Why did you end up with Ning Feng?" can give her a confident answer.
"Because he likes me, and because I like him, it's that simple."
He saved me, and I will save him too.
Ning Feng understood the deeper meaning behind Xilin's declaration that she wanted to become a shackle.
"This kind of practice..."
They're actually quite cute.
From her appearance, Shirin is a mature woman, and with the passage of time, she has acquired a mellow charm.
This feeling, combined with her youthful appearance and sometimes seemingly naive behavior, creates a captivating contrast.
She is mature yet retains a childlike innocence.
She was powerful, but she never displayed her authority.
She is intellectual, but sometimes she acts impulsively.
She is Shirin.
She willingly turned everything she had into shackles, placing them on Ning Feng's body.
This is her—the Watcher of the Watchers, the legendary alchemist, and Ning Feng's lover.
Swallowing back the emotions and feelings in his heart, Ning Feng did not make any vows or promises to deepen their relationship at this moment.
Actions speak louder than words.
To see what Ning Feng will do in the future, we just need to observe his actions.
Besides, looking at Shirin's dazed expression, the current atmosphere doesn't seem like a suitable time to make an oath.
So he stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace, feeling the smooth touch of her skin after her bath.
"Why are you so lost in thought? What are you thinking about?"
Hmm.
The touch was familiar, but the feeling was unfamiliar; the tingling sensation made Xilin tremble slightly.
My body seems to have changed without me even realizing it; all my senses are more acute than before… in some ways.
It was just a light physical interaction, but it ignited her emotions in a very short time.
No no no no...
This cannot continue.
No, I can't keep going down this low.
Although she didn't remember exactly how much time had passed, judging from her years of alchemy experience, several hours had already passed during the time she was in a half-dreaming, half-awake state...
As for how long she had been unconscious, that's even more unknown.
My own man is a complete monster...
