Ye Ming circulated his cultivation technique, his eyes filled with a resolute look.
"No! Wait... wait a moment! Ye... Ye Ming! I believe you! Stop, can you please stop!"
Perhaps Nangong Qianyu sensed something, she struggled desperately once more, trying to break free from their shared cultivation state.
She had a premonition of what Ye Ming was about to do.
"Qianyu! You are worth this for me!"
Ye Ming looked at the person shaking her head constantly, a gentle smile on his face, and continued to circulate his cultivation technique.
"Ye Ming! I'm begging you, alright! Really... really! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you! Stop, please stop!"
Nangong Qianyu was now weeping profusely. She absolutely could not accept, nor dare to accept, what Ye Ming was currently doing.
At the same time, her heart was filled with immense regret.
Regret for being misled by Li Hongzhi's words earlier.
If she had believed Ye Ming from the very beginning, would this situation have not occurred?
"Silly girl! Ever since I chose to cultivate the Yin Yang Sacred Scripture with you, I have been prepared for everything."
Ye Ming's face still held a gentle smile, and he said softly, "Didn't I promise you before that I wouldn't let anyone hurt you? Isn't everything I'm doing now fulfilling that promise?"
"Alright! Don't be sad!"
At this moment, as Ye Ming continuously circulated the cultivation technique, his divine soul began to separate, transforming into free-floating energy.
"Silly girl, if you don't cooperate with me, I might... really... disappear, you know?"
After Ye Ming's divine soul completely transformed into free-floating energy, his last words were heard by Nangong Qianyu.
"Wuwuwu!"
Looking at the soul energy surrounding her body, Nangong Qianyu was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Ye... Ming! Wait for me!"
After she spoke these words, Nangong Qianyu also began to circulate the Yin Yang Sacred Scripture. Moments later, her divine soul also began to split, transforming into a free-floating state just like Ye Ming's.
Finally, guided by the cultivation technique, the two previously distinct souls began to slowly merge. The instant they touched, auspicious clouds descended from the sky outside, colorful and dazzling, as if a blessing from heaven, sacred and brilliant.
"Wh... what's happening? Why did the sky suddenly change?"
"Wow! This is too beautiful, what happened?"
"This is more than beautiful! It's utterly romantic!"
"Yeah! Couples who get to see this scene should be very happy!"
"Alas! It's a pity I'm just a single dog! Woof woof woof!"
"..."
...
At the same time, on a misty mountain peak in a secluded land.
"Hmm?"
A woman in a white dress, whose face could not be seen, suddenly woke up from her meditation, and let out a sigh.
"Why is the karmic red thread between us so turbulent?"
She looked at the layered clouds in the distance, her mood inexplicably becoming somewhat heavy.
No!
To be more precise, it was irritation.
Such an emotion had never appeared in this fairy before.
"Why do I have this feeling?"
She did not understand the origin of this emotion.
"Or did you do something to make the me in destiny feel unwilling?"
After much thought, the woman could not find an answer.
However, she did confirm one thing.
That was, the man connected to her by the karmic red thread must have made a decision that could shake this red thread.
"It seems! I need to go out and take a look."
The woman stood up; she had made up her mind.
Just then, from the other side of the mountains, an ancient voice suddenly sounded.
"Bai Yi! Come to the main hall quickly, urgent matter to discuss!"
...
Time passed, and the two merged divine souls seemed to have completed some kind of synergy and gradually separated.
Moments later, two palm-sized figures of pure essence reappeared.
They were Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
However, when they reappeared, there were significant differences compared to before.
The most prominent one was a very special mark on their foreheads.
The mark on Ye Ming's forehead resembled the sun in the sky. The mark on Nangong Qianyu's forehead looked more like a full moon.
In addition, Nangong Qianyu's soul aura seemed much stronger than before. Ye Ming's, however, had not changed much.
A few more seconds passed, and they both opened their eyes. Their pupils were occupied by the reflection of each other.
"You... are so foolish!"
Nangong Qianyu bit her lip and reached out to touch the face so close to her. Her movements were gentle and light, reflecting her heartache at that moment.
"Foolish? I don't think so!"
Ye Ming placed his hand over hers, pressing it against his face, and smiled, "If anyone is foolish, it's you. You know, from today onwards, you can't escape. You'll be with me for this lifetime."
"Tell me, who is more foolish?"
The merging of their divine souls signified that they would share life and death, existing in unity.
To put it extremely, they would prosper together and suffer together.
And between them, there would be no more lies.
"Even if I am foolish, I accept it!"
Nangong Qianyu stood on tiptoe, their foreheads touching. She softly called out his name:
"Ye Ming!"
Ye Ming wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling them even closer, and slowly leaned towards her delicate red lips:
"What is it?"
He asked with a smile.
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu leaned forward abruptly, seemingly unable to contain the overflowing emotions within her heart.
"I... love... you!"
...
Ding!
Sherry watched the floor numbers displayed on the elevator, confirming it was the floor where Nangong Qianyu's room was located.
Behind her were other members of the girl group.
No matter what, she had to prevent the conflict between Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu from escalating and resolve the misunderstanding completely.
"Sister Sherry! Do you think if we go over like this, it might stimulate Miss Qianyu?"
As they stepped out of the elevator, someone said timidly.
"This..."
Hearing this, Sherry was taken aback and stopped.
She had to admit, there was a real possibility of that happening.
After all, in a sense, they were the core reason for the misunderstanding between Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
"How about I go explain alone, and you all wait here?" Sherry turned and suggested to the sisters.
She thought it might be better if she went alone.
"Huh? Why aren't you speaking!"
However, at this moment, Sherry found her sisters' eyes widened, as if they had seen something incredible.
"What's wrong?"
Sherry looked confused.
But when she turned around, the scene before her completely stunned her.
