When Yuanling woke up again, she slowly opened her eyes, and her vision gradually became clear.
The first thing that came into her view was the familiar yet strange face of Changheng Immortal Lord.
At this moment, the Changheng Immortal Lord seemed to have lost the spirited and radiant demeanor he once had. A hint of fatigue and weariness was evident in his eyes, as if he had endured a long ordeal.
Yuanling gazed at him, feeling a surge of complex emotions within her.
The Changheng Immortal Lord gazed at Yuanling and softly said, "Ling'er, tell me, if I lost you a Senren, and returned you an immortal, like myself, how would that be?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanling was momentarily at a loss. Her thoughts became a chaotic mess, filled with confusion and uncertainty.
She did not understand why Changheng Immortal Lord suddenly said such words, nor did she know how to respond to his question.
However, just as Yuanling was hesitating, Changheng Immortal Lord unexpectedly took an unexpected action.
He took advantage of Yuanling being completely unprepared, quickly approached her, and gently kissed her lips.
This sudden kiss completely stunned Yuanling.
Her mind went blank in an instant, as if all her thoughts had been shattered to pieces.
She could not understand the actions of Changheng Immortal Lord, nor did she know how she should react.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around became blurred.
Yuanling could only feel the gentle touch of Changheng Immortal Lord's lips against her own. This unfamiliar yet wonderful sensation made her heart race and her breath quicken.
As the kiss from Changheng Immortal Lord deepened, Yuanling's body gradually became soft and weak.
Her once clear consciousness was slowly submerged in a haze, and she found herself lost in this unexpected situation, unable to escape.
I was thinking of giving him a slap to wake him up, but then I found a familiar liquid flowing from his mouth to Yuanling. In an instant, Yuanling felt a surge of spiritual power in her dantian.
He kissed Yuanling until she was panting and confused, and it wasn't until their lips parted that she came to her senses, with a blush spreading across her face.
He smiled gently and said to Yuanling, "Ling'er, your self-defense power is really too weak. You are so delicate and tender, like a green onion. Perhaps only I, who can talk about dominating the world and shaking the world, can protect you."
After that, he sighed lightly and continued, "If I had known about this method of sending seeds earlier, I wouldn't have missed and wasted the precious Jade Pool Immortal Dew. What's even more hateful is that the Fairy Dew has excessively occupied your mind, blocking some of your memories and making you forget about me..." As he spoke, his voice carried a hint of regret and unwillingness.
Yuanling feels like she's having trouble understanding what he's talking about.
She feels like her head is still exploding.
Jade Pool Immortal Dew? Back then?
Yuanling said, "Haven't you also forgotten about me?"
"No," Yuanling corrected, "Changheng Immortal Lord, don't think that just because you falsely claim to be that immortal from back then, Yuanling will truly believe you are him."
Suddenly, in front of Yuanling, his aura shifted, transforming into the immortal who had accompanied Yuanling in the mortal realm for many years. He wore a gentle smile, and his demeanor captivated Yuanling completely.
He said, "You should believe me now."
Yuanling shook her head and said, "You have searched through my memories, so you naturally know what the immortal looks like."
He sighed and said, "What would it take for you to believe that I am that immortal?"
"I won't believe it. He wouldn't tear off Yuanling's thigh to make soup for other women just to please them. He wouldn't fall for one woman after another. Besides, he has already been punished by the heavens and his whereabouts are unknown. How could he be in a high position at The Hall of Heavenly Ascent?"
"Would you like to hear a story from my perspective?" smiled Changheng Immortal Lord. "At least there is one thing I share with that immortal; when he saw you for the first time, he wanted to take you home to satisfy his desires. As for me selecting you into the Hall of Heavenly Ascent, I had no memory of that day either, but I found you quite captivating. Moreover, what do you think the punishment in the heavenly realm is?"
Yuanling recalled passing by the Zhu Xian Platform and hearing the anguished cries of the immortals inside. Yuanling said, "The lighter punishment involves eighty-one bolts of heavenly thunder, while the heavier punishment means having one's immortal roots severed, resulting in the soul scattering..."
"No," he said, "They think it's beneath me as a high god to fall for a little demon in the mortal realm, so they punish me by making me change my affection every now and then, hence the scene you witnessed."
"Upon hearing this, Yuanling felt like she could trust you for once."
"Hmm?"
"People with brain problems never admit that they have a problem. Well, it's more or less the same meaning. Since you know about this symptom, does that mean you are also clear-headed?"
"Naturally. In the past, I couldn't remember who Yuanling liked, but now that I do, having someone I like, how could I still be hindered by them?" The words of Changheng Immortal Lord carried a hint of disdain.
Although she clearly didn't believe he was Senren, hearing his roundabout confession made Yuanling feel a warmth in her heart, as if she were on the verge of being captivated.
"Why didn't you think of it before?"
"In short, it's not that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't," he continued. "It wasn't until that day when I searched through your memories and felt that something was amiss. The days you were missing were spent searching for the cause, and then I never expected that the Goddess of clear water would hold a grudge and harm you. Seeing you burning in a fire, all those memories that I didn't feel very connected to came flooding back."
He looked at Yuanling, with a glint in his eyes, and his expression was no longer as unusual or disgustingly affectionate as before.
If... he is Senren, he saved Yuanling's life twice.
If he wasn't Senren, he saved Yuanling's life.
And the name Senren sounds too casual, indeed like... an alias.
Perhaps Yuanling's expression softened a bit, and Changheng Immortal Lord smiled, saying, "It's fine, take your time to savor it. However, I have once again stolen the Jade Pool Immortal Dew to save you, and now I am about to face punishment again. Can't you pretend for a moment that you like me?"
His face was as pale as snow, as if he had endured great punishment, and in the blink of an eye, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At that moment, as if by some strange impulse, Yuanling softened and said, "Actually, I... I have always liked you."
"Do you like me, or the immortal?"
"You, you, you..."
"Aren't you still asking me to compensate you with an immortal? You must have only started liking me after knowing that I am an immortal," Changheng Immortal Lord pressed relentlessly.
"I... " Yuanling finally couldn't bear to see his constant disappointment, especially now that his internal injuries seemed to erupt at this moment. Every time he spoke, he had to lower his head and cough. There was a hint of red on his sleeve. Yuanling whispered, "It's because I'm afraid your love is limited. At least the immortal's love for me... is limitless."
"Ling'er," he called Yuanling with a smile.
"Hmm?"
"Ling'er," he continued calling Yuanling, "let's do something that lovers love to do, okay?"
"Hmm?"
When Changheng Immortal Lord pinned Yuanling down, intending to do something truly wicked to tarnish Yuanling's reputation, Yuanling finally realized that he was clearly full of energy, far from being someone who had suffered a severe punishment and would cough up blood at the slightest provocation.
However, everything has passed, Yuanling is good in his heart.
