Shen Zhiyi chuckled softly, her fingertips slipping down to grasp his hand.
"Come with me."
Samus followed her, stunned.
His gaze slowly moved from the back of her head to their clasped hands.
The sensation he had dodged countless times was now returning to him in a more direct and forceful way.
She had him completely under her control.
Warm, smooth...
Unwavering, completely...
Samus's finger bones twitched slightly, a fleeting thought crossing his mind.
Shen Zhiyi let go of her hand.
Samus paused, then stood there with her head down, slowly tightening her grip on the hand she had just held behind her back.
Shen Zhiyi walked to the dressing table in the inner hall, took out a crystal the size of a pigeon egg from a hidden compartment on the table, turned around, and handed it to him.
"Here, take this."
Samus's gaze slowly settled on her palm.
There lay a small crystal.
It's black, with a necklace at the top, and has a rich, deep, and clear color.
It doesn't look dull at all; instead, it has a crystal-clear beauty.
Inside, at the very center, there is a soft green halo that slowly circulates.
The energy above is pure and natural, with a strong sense of calm, seemingly able to absorb all chaotic fluctuations.
He frowned, somewhat puzzled.
For some reason, he felt an instinctive affinity for the crystal.
I already feel at ease even before I've touched it.
"What are you standing there for? Take it." Shen Zhiyi pulled his hand, which was behind his back, and placed the crystal in his palm.
“This contains my healing power,” she said calmly, as if she were talking about something trivial. “If you carry it with you, you can conceal your presence and protect yourself by healing yourself in case you encounter danger.”
"While I can't help you fight back against the enemy, I can at least ensure your safe departure."
Samus looked up abruptly.
His golden pupils contracted slightly in shock.
He lowered his head again, staring intently at the energy stone in his palm.
This is no ordinary crystal.
His energy was incompatible with most other energies, so he was considered an omen of bad luck by his people and was exiled and banished from a young age.
But this crystal was not cold at all; on the contrary, it was warm to the touch.
The black energy emanating from the crystal seemed to originate from the same source as the power within his body…
She must have gone to great lengths to find a crystal that matched his energy so perfectly.
Moreover, she also channeled her healing power into it...
Samus was filled with emotion.
He looked at Shen Zhiyi in disbelief.
Not only was she worried about his safety and created this crystal specifically for him, but she also spared no effort to share her own power to protect him!
Why……?
He was overwhelmed by the immense conflict, and even his breathing became disordered.
She was the one who ordered his scales to be peeled off.
She poured her energy and effort into creating the crystal, and she was the one who wanted to protect him.
Which one is the real her?
Abuse, shelter...
Torture, care...
How can a person have two completely different appearances at the same time?
He gripped the crystal tightly.
For the first time, I was confused by the idea that "she was vicious".
Samus's throat bobbed.
His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Why?"
Is this a tactic to win him over?
Or is it just a game of manipulating people's hearts?
But what does he have that's worth winning over?
What could possibly be worth her going to such lengths to treat him well, only to then take back all her goodwill?
She could have whipped him mercilessly, just like before.
She is the noble eldest princess of the empire.
He is extremely busy.
There's no need to waste so much time and effort on him.
"Why so many questions?" Shen Zhiyi said dismissively, her gaze calmly meeting his scrutinizing eyes. "You are my beastly husband. If you were to die so easily, where would I, the princess, put my face?"
"Besides, I just told Herbert that I would help you improve your ability level."
"This is not only for you, but also for myself."
Seeing that he remained motionless for a long time, she simply took the crystal from his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Lower your head a little, I'll help you put it on."
Samus did as he was told, bending down to get close to her.
Shen Zhiyi took the necklace, wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned back, and intimately helped him put the necklace on, as if giving him a hug.
Her warm breath sprayed on his neck, and brushed against his chin and earlobe like feathers...
The aroma was right next to me.
Samus lowered his eyelashes, concealing the dark turmoil churning within his eyes.
The fingertips hanging at her sides slowly tightened.
"Okay." As soon as Shen Zhiyi let go, the man in front of her suddenly swayed and leaned his whole body on her shoulder.
He instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist.
They parted in an instant.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Zhiyi frowned and supported herself on his arm.
Samus shook his head, straightened up, and touched the crystal on his neck.
"fine."
"But this energy seems to resonate with me particularly well. Just a moment ago, it felt like some kind of energy was calling to me."
"My head hurts a little, so I lost my balance for a moment."
Samus pursed his lips and looked away somewhat awkwardly. "I didn't hug you on purpose."
Shen Zhiyi looked at him but didn't say anything.
My heart skipped a beat.
It was indeed the crystal that worked.
Her gaze swept over the black halo on the crystal, and she lowered her eyelashes.
She instructed Ian to use his blood sample to create an energy field that could help him activate his ancient bloodline.
She genuinely wanted to help him improve his abilities.
It's true that we need to use healing power to protect him.
