Chapter 637 The one who broke her maze
"M~m, I don't care about all that", she shook her head, tightening her arms around him, "You are here and that's all that matters, hehe, my Da~rli~ng"
He looked at her and saw no signs of holding something back or suppressing something. She truly did not care about anything. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Her crimson eyes looked at him with pure and uninhibited delight at seeing him, and very palpable adoration, even more intense than the one before as ever since he appeared in the cave, she was given a new life, one that was not trapped in a labyrinth with only dead ends, a life in which she was free to be with him, free to have him in her arms, and be held in his.
The moment he broke the ceiling of that underground hall was akin to making a hole in the walls. The walls that made up the maze of her life.
And then only a choice remained. A choice he gave her. To step out of that maze led by him. She only had to wish for it, and it came true.
Her attitude toward him before that was of course driven by genuine attraction, but it could not be denied that it was shaped, at least in part, by the despair and helplessness of her situation, by the inevitability of her doom that she knew was coming.
Thus it was partially a frivolous whim, a desire to experience everything life had to offer, including love, even though at time she did not know how fatal that feeling could be.
She eventually came to slightly regret her choice to explore that feeling, at the same time as she became certain it was the best choice she ever made. It happened on that dark path after their date, when she felt what it was like, to be with someone like him by her side, to have him hold her hand and simply spend time together.
She had the opportunity to visit him a few times after that, as the Elders still did not have a clue that something in her was changing.
But she did not, she was too afraid to let that feeling grow. And yet longing for him proved to be almost as effective for the growth of that feeling as being with him.
Eventually, she rebelled. She tried to assassinate the Matriarch, using the latter's relative low guard toward her, and failed.
"And you're not curious about anything?", he raised his eyebrow with a chuckle, looking at her as she smiled, shaking her head.
"Why would I need to know that? All that complicated stuff is for those who doubt. I don't doubt you. As long as I am with you, I don't care about anything else", she spoke as he smiled, shaking his head in a bit of surrender.
Her twin in the background rolled her eyes with a heavy sigh that slightly resembled a groan and turned around, stepping into a cloud of black smoke with "I'm done with this, call me when your head is back to normal"
It was obvious Hong Yue was desperately waiting for some answers, of which she lost the hope of getting, at least in this meeting, as she looked at the attitude of her little sister.
However, Hong Ye did not mind that, her eyes still concentrated on him.
"Darling... there is one thing I do want though...", she then made a look that told him exactly what she wanted. Her hand that was clinging to him reluctantly let go, to rise and approach the side of her face, as she pressed on the mechanism that unlocked her mask.
This time she was less hesitant to take it off, looking him in the eyes as she moved it into her Spatial Ring.
"Haha, what is it?", but he still asked, a slightly teasing look appearing in his eyes.
"You said... that we will only kiss if I become you woman... well, I am your woman now", she said, her eyes turning toward his curled up lips as hers slightly moved.
"Hmm, I did say that, and you are my woman now", he nodded only confirming her words but not elaborating, continuing to smile and making a pondering expression, as if guessing what she was getting at.
"Darling~, don't tease m-", she made a pouting face and as she was speaking, her lips were taken away in a kiss, her crimson eyes widening, and then closing as she weaved her hands around his neck and pressed even more intimately into him.
"Puhaa~ haa~ haa~ more...", she whispered amidst rough breathing, as her eyes opened to reveal a slightly unfocused look after their lips parted, and then were united again as soon as the word left her mouth, her eyes closing again, lost in that sensation.
He did not make her ask anymore, continuing their kiss and deepening it, giving her only brief moments to catch breath and then kissing her again, and again, and again.
"Puhaa~ haa~ Darling~... haa~", her eyes looking drunk with their kisses turned to look at him with a clear intention, that he did not intend to tease.
He whisked her away into his arms, and stepping on the deck disappeared from the spot, stepping out from the cloud of black smoke in his room, with the closed doors not opening even for a moment as she widened her eyes since they seemingly appeared here out of nowhere.
"Haha, a higher grade Bahshi technique, I'll teach you later", he chuckled, and his lips greedily found hers again.
They did not part for even a moment.
He placed her feet on the ground, and they both removed their clothes with a simple Spiritual Qi manipulation while being wholly busy with each other, becoming completely bare, and moved to the bed while their lips were still locked in a kiss.
