Once again feeling the warm, soft touch, Ye Ming's mind entered a brief state of stagnation. But by instinct, his hands subconsciously moved to a position below the other's waist, his mouth responding with burning intensity.
Unbeknownst to them, the temperature of this world of purity seemed to rise.
However, fortunately, this world possessed the effect of regulating human emotions. The two, who were about to become more intimate, suddenly found their desires for each other lessened.
At this very moment, clarity gradually returned to their eyes.
At this time, Kyoko Yekawa was straddling Ye Ming's thighs, her arms wrapped around his neck, their foreheads pressed together, both feeling each other's slightly rapid breaths.
Although their emotions had calmed down, their bodies hadn't quite returned to normal, still in a state of slight excitement.
"Ye... Ye Ming! If we... continue like this, something will happen sooner or later!"
Kyoko Yekawa had no idea how to describe her current feelings; her heart was pounding like a drum, almost in rhythm with spring.
Ye Ming's hands cupped the proud curve of her hips, and even through the fabric, he could clearly feel the springiness that directly met his palms.
It was a touch he couldn't let go of.
Hearing Kyoko Yekawa's slightly rushed words, Ye Ming understood her state of mind perfectly.
Currently, the world of purity was helping them stabilize their emotions. If they left this place, even Ye Ming couldn't guarantee he could maintain his composure.
The power of the spirit contract was truly terrifying.
But regrettably, as the spirit lord, he couldn't control it either.
"Kyoko! Let me first search for a solution!" Ye Ming said in a deep voice.
His only hope now rested on the Immortal Law Record.
After speaking, Ye Ming submerged his divine sense into the Immortal Law Record in his mind.
Due to the immense volume of information recorded within, even Ye Ming had only read less than a tenth of it.
Therefore, finding a solution would take a considerable amount of time.
Watching Ye Ming enter a state of deep meditation, Kyoko Yekawa knew he had temporarily lost consciousness. She gently reached out and caressed his profile, her movements full of tenderness.
Her gaze seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, misty yet exceptionally captivating.
"I'm sorry!"
She leaned down slightly and, unable to resist, kissed his lips, saying with a hint of sadness:
"I don't know why I've developed such intense feelings for you. I know it's wrong, but..." She cupped her chest, shaking her head. "But I really can't control it!"
Then, she kissed him again, holding the kiss for nearly ten seconds before reluctantly pulling away.
"Perhaps, when you brought me back to this most beautiful time of my life, my heart already wavered. I don't think any woman can forget someone who gave her a second chance at life."
Kyoko Yekawa closed her eyes and lay down quietly, resting in the arms of the man who had made her fall.
At this very moment, a thought seemed to solidify in her heart.
If someone had to bear the burden of all this, then...
"Don't worry! I won't make things difficult for you!"
As Kyoko Yekawa's whisper fell, it meant she had accepted this... unpredictable fate.
After a long while, Ye Ming finally emerged from his meditative state. However, a trace of worry still lingered on his expression.
Fortunately, his brow had relaxed somewhat.
It seemed he had gained some progress.
"How did it go?"
Kyoko Yekawa had not moved from Ye Ming's lap and maintained their intimate position, like a young woman, even with a hint of languid charm.
"Ahem! I... I've made some progress!"
Seeing the captivating woman before him, even with the emotional regulation of this world, Ye Ming's Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed, and a small flame ignited in his lower abdomen.
The intimate contact of their skin and the soft touches served as fuel for that small flame.
However, thankfully, it was all within controllable limits.
"What's the method?"
Hearing this outcome, Kyoko Yekawa was somewhat excited. She surged forward, wrapping her arms around Ye Ming's neck again.
Their lips nearly met once more.
If there were a solution, she wouldn't have to act on her decision from earlier.
Kyoko Yekawa's sudden movement caused Ye Ming's chest to feel a dull pressure. Although the pressure was extremely gentle, it had the effect of shattering mental defenses.
"Kyoko! Maybe... maybe you should get down first!" Ye Ming said with difficulty.
He feared that if this continued, even this world might not be able to suppress his flame.
Moreover, with the spirit contract's enhancement, their mutual defenses had dropped by half. A single mistake could truly spark a fire.
Hearing Ye Ming's words, a blush crept onto Kyoko Yekawa's face.
Though reluctant, she still stood up from Ye Ming's lap. However, seeing him avoid her gaze, a captivating charm flickered across her lips.
Ye Ming, seeing this, also felt his face flush and quickly adjusted his posture, stabilizing his aroused emotions.
"Ahem, ahem!"
He cleared his throat, changing the subject. "In my search just now, while I didn't find a fundamental solution, there are methods to weaken the spirit contract's influence!"
"Weaken?"
Kyoko Yekawa seized on the key words.
"Yes!" Ye Ming nodded and explained.
"The main impact of the spirit contract is on you; it doesn't affect me much. Therefore, the key to the problem lies with you."
Ye Ming stepped forward and transmitted all the spirit attendant cultivation methods suitable for Kyoko Yekawa, which he had found in the Immortal Law Record, into her mind. "With these cultivation methods, your cultivation speed will be greatly enhanced. Once your realm improves, the spirit contract's influence will weaken. At that point, the current out-of-control situation will no longer occur."
This was the most effective method Ye Ming had found.
"What are the specific realm requirements?"
Kyoko Yekawa asked while examining the cultivation methods in her mind.
"It's impossible to be completely unaffected by the spirit contract. However, once you reach the Innate realm, the situation will no longer be out of control. Below that, as long as we minimize physical contact and rely on our self-control, we should... be able to manage. So..."
Ye Ming looked at Kyoko Yekawa seriously. "What you need to do now is to quickly improve your cultivation. At the very least, you need to reach the Origin realm first."
There was one thing Ye Ming didn't explicitly mention: when Kyoko Yekawa was below the Origin realm, sometimes even a glance from him could be misinterpreted by the spirit contract as an implication.
Once such an implication arose, Kyoko Yekawa, as the spirit attendant, would respond.
As for what kind of response that would be, it was self-evident.
