“Regarding the previous issue with the flow of time, I made a mistake in my writing and have corrected it. Old Phantom sincerely apologizes for the confusion it caused in your reading. This was my fault. There will be another chapter later, but it will be quite late. At my speed, it will probably be around dawn, so everyone can read it tomorrow. Today, there are abnormal weather conditions in many places, so please pay attention to your safety, dear readers!”
Ye Zhongming didn’t expect such a dramatic event to happen to him, but since the more chaotic apocalypse had arrived, he felt a sense of acceptance.
The secret realms clearly held too many secrets, and it was possible for special races to exist as well.
However, feeling the warmth of the woman’s body behind him, her hurried breaths brushing against his neck, and the tremors from her nervousness, Ye Zhongming found himself at a loss.
In a different situation, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have any psychological burden. Relationships between men and women happening casually was as normal as drinking water in his previous life.
But now it was different; the union in this context carried a certain connotation of power. Although Ye Zhongming was not exactly a good person, he also despised the idea of using this method to elevate himself.
"The Royal City will present you with many dangers. The All-Purpose Sacred Pool is not something just anyone can enter. Only the exceptionally talented warriors selected from the various tribes of posthumous children can earn the right to bathe in it. Don’t think that just because you are an outsider, or even if you are from our Afo Tribe, that you would be allowed entry. Every year's quota is tightly controlled by those large tribes."
Miya shifted her body slightly, causing Ye Zhongming’s heart to race. It’s worth noting that this woman behind him was a voluptuous Latina beauty, and with that movement, the soft and bouncy sensation prompted an immediate reaction from the young man.
"You must sneak in, but that place is the most heavily guarded in the Royal City." Miya suddenly pressed her lips against the back of Ye Zhongming's ear, causing both of them to shudder at the same time.
"So, you will need to have greater abilities. Take me; this is the only way I can help you."
Ye Zhongming pried the woman's arms away from him, locking eyes with Miya. Looking at her blushing face filled with shyness, he whispered, "I will face extreme danger in the Royal City. I may not survive. Even if I successfully enter the All-Purpose Sacred Pool and return to my original world, I can’t be sure when I will come back, or even..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhongming continued, "I might never return. Even so, do you still want to do this?"
Miya’s eyes turned red, tears began to flow, but she smiled, "Yes, I’m sure. Do you know why Dabu Tribe's Bander harbors hostility towards you? It's because he has long offered to be our foreign male shaman for Afo, actually wanting to obtain me, or rather, to gain an opportunity for a significant enhancement in strength. Without you, I would have faced such a fate; even if it weren’t Bander, it would be someone else. My purpose was merely to exchange myself for food or other benefits for the tribe to survive a cold season."
"That was my destiny until you appeared." Miya looked intently at the man in front of her, "You might think that what we share is no different from what I just said, but for me, it's entirely different because I like the person I am going to give myself to. That is my fortune. Even if you leave tomorrow and never return, I will still consider this my fortune."
Miya opened her top, just like when she first met Ye Zhongming. The only difference was that previously, Miya had wanted to kill him to attract his attention, but now, it was a true act of devotion.
Perhaps it was love, perhaps not; perhaps it was merely admiration for a strong man and a rebellion against destiny, but whichever it was, Miya was sincere at this moment. For the first time in her life, she made a choice that was entirely her own.
