An hour later, the commotion in the pavilion gradually subsided.
Naturally, Yegawa Shagong had already departed.
*Hoo!*
Inside the pavilion, Ye Ming lay on the ground, panting heavily, feeling utterly drained.
It wasn't the exhaustion from two hours of intense combat that wore him out. The crucial factor was that the one fighting alongside him was Kawano Shin.
His spirit consort.
During their intense battle, besides shared pleasure, the spirit contract between them also activated, channeling a portion of the feedback to Kawano Shin.
Thus, the battle they just had was truly a mental and physical ordeal for Ye Ming, leaving his limbs weak and powerless.
Kawano Shin, on the other hand, was a stark contrast. Nestled in his arms, her face was radiant, showing no trace of fatigue. The skin exposed to the air was smooth and delicate, glowing with a rosy hue. It seemed as though every cell was revitalized at that moment.
However, after the frenzy, all the preceding scenes surged back into her mind like a tide.
Her relationship with Ye Ming was no longer a secret to Yegawa Shagong.
Moreover, the other woman had even witnessed the beginning of their encounter.
Thinking of this, Kawano Shin felt a wave of shame, unsure how to face Yegawa Shagong.
"Don't worry, it will be alright!"
Ye Ming, clearly sensing her thoughts, patted her shoulder and said softly, "Shagong has already accepted it."
"I..."
Kawano Shin buried her head in Ye Ming's chest, her emotions a mix of apprehension and a certain degree of release.
She felt much better than before.
"Aren't you going to get up? Shagong has been waiting outside!" Ye Ming suddenly changed the subject, a smile on his face.
"Wh-what?"
Hearing this, Kawano Shin was so startled that she sat bolt upright. The entire small pavilion shimmered with brilliance.
Though Ye Ming didn't know how many times he had witnessed this sacred sight up close, each time he beheld it, it remained as captivating as ever.
"Sister Shin, I can still go for another round!"
Ye Ming stared intently at her, his hands roaming freely.
"You... dare!"
Kawano Shin absolutely did not dare to mess around with him further. Thinking that Yegawa Shagong might be waiting outside, she immediately got up, gathered the scattered clothes around them, and concealed all her snowy white splendor as quickly as possible.
"You hurry up too!"
While tidying her clothes, she playfully urged Ye Ming.
However, Ye Ming remained unmoved, resting his hands behind his head, watching her with a smile.
"You..."
This infuriated Kawano Shin, causing her chest to heave again.
She was truly afraid that Yegawa Shagong might walk in then; it would be utterly humiliating.
"What do you want?"
Kawano Shin looked at the shameless man and gritted her teeth, "If Shagong sees this, how can I face her?"
"Sister Shin, you don't need to worry about that. It was she who pushed you to me just now!"
Ye Ming said with a smile.
He wanted Kawano Shin to completely let go of her reservations and confront the relationship between the three of them directly.
He also wanted her to truly understand that Yegawa Kyoko was completely gone, and the one with him now was Kawano Shin.
His Sister Shin.
"Tell me! What exactly do you want?"
Kawano Shin finally understood that he was deliberately trying to push her.
"Sister Shin, I don't want anything!"
Ye Ming smiled, got up, and then asked solemnly, "I just need you to tell me, who are you?"
"I..."
Kawano Shin placed her hands on her chest, lowered her head slightly, knowing Ye Ming's intention.
The atmosphere fell silent at this moment.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
*Hoo!*
Kawano Shin exhaled slowly, gently lowered her hands, walked in front of Ye Ming, and earnestly spoke her answer: "I am Kawano Shin."
"I am your Sister Shin, belonging only to you!"
After speaking, she lightly kissed Ye Ming's lips.
*Boom!*
The instant Kawano Shin fully confessed her heart, a vigorous aura surged from within her. In that moment, the entire sky changed, and the energy floating in the air converged towards Kawano Shin.
A wondrous spectacle, brilliance reaching the heavens.
Ye Ming looked at the woman gradually ascending before him, his face filled with relief.
The heart's knot untangled, the Origin can be established.
"Ye Ming, Sister Shin is... Ah!"
Hearing the commotion from here, Yegawa Shagong, who had been hiding far away, immediately rushed over. But before she could finish speaking, she was startled by Ye Ming's naked state.
"Uh!"
This caught Ye Ming completely off guard.
After regaining his senses, he quickly found his clothes, and without further ado, fumbled his way into them, finally managing to get dressed.
"This... cough cough! Sister... Sister Shin's breakthrough was too sudden, so..."
Ye Ming wished he could disappear into the ground.
"Hmph! It's not like I haven't seen it before!"
Yegawa Shagong shot him a roll of her eyes and said irritably.
"Then why were you shouting so loudly just now?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
Yegawa Shagong furrowed her brows.
"No... nothing! Hehehehe!"
Ye Ming stepped forward, embraced her from behind, and said gently, "You are the biggest contributor to Sister Shin's breakthrough this time."
Yegawa Shagong struggled symbolically for a moment before allowing him to hold her, sighing softly, "This is our fate!"
She had followed the arrangement of destiny.
"Thank you!"
Ye Ming's grip tightened, his heart filled with nothing but gratitude and affection for the woman in his arms.
"I did it for myself too."
Yegawa Shagong placed her hand on Ye Ming's, tilted her head slightly, their foreheads gently touching. They gazed at the radiant figure in the sky, both content.
This outcome was good for everyone.
Yegawa Shagong asked, "Ye Ming, what attribute do you think Sister Shin's Origin Force will awaken?"
"What attribute?"
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then replied, "Sister Shin is my spirit consort, so the attribute of the Origin Force she awakens will have some relation to mine. But the specific one is hard to say."
"However, one thing is certain: the attribute Sister Shin awakens will not be lower than Saint-tier."
Saint-tier!
Just below Divine-tier.
"If that were the case, it would be wonderful!"
Yegawa Shagong was also excited.
As a Spirit of Space-Time, Ye Ming possessed a natural affinity for the paths of space and time. Furthermore, with his Spirit of Space-Time constitution, he had awakened the power of Reincarnation.
Therefore, Kawano Shin's attribute would likely be related to these abilities.
"Ye Ming, do you feel the surrounding life aura has become stronger?"
Yegawa Shagong asked with surprise.
"I think I know the attribute Sister Shin has awakened."
Ye Ming looked at a patch of green plants outside the pavilion. The flowers and trees within were growing at a visible rate.
No wonder Yegawa Shagong felt the life aura had intensified.
Ye Ming exclaimed in amazement:
"This is... the power of vitality!"
