No choice!
When women couldn't bear the burden, men had to step up.
Ye Liang transformed into Aye's appearance.
He believed Kaguya Hime would definitely stop attacking once she saw him in this form.
"Stop, Lady Kaguya Hime! It's me, Aye!"
He squeezed his throat, trying to make his voice sound high-pitched and feminine.
"Huh?"
She almost felt like gagging at the sound.
What was going on?
Had Lord Ye gone perverted now?!
Looking at her idiotic expression, Ye Liang really wanted to shout, "What's wrong with being a pervert?!" But the situation didn't allow it.
He quickly lunged toward Ten-Tails again.
At this point, Ten-Tails' speed had slowed because of Ye Liang's transformation.
Humans have muscle memory.
Even if someone is forgotten, as long as the muscles remember, the body will be subconsciously controlled.
That was exactly how Ten-Tails reacted.
Although she couldn't recall who Aye was, her body instinctively slowed down when facing Ye Liang's current form.
It was like she was drunk.
"Sure enough, it works!" Ye Liang rejoiced inwardly.
He quickly grabbed the real Aye beside him.
If one Aye had such an obvious effect, two Ayers should double it!
And sure enough!
Ten-Tails moved even slower!
How about three Ayers?
Ye Liang used Clone Jutsu to create several more Ayes!
Ten-Tails was truly helpless now.
"Three Ayers carrying water together! There's strength in numbers!" Thinking of this proverb, Ye Liang directly activated [Harem Jutsu] and produced over a hundred copies of Aye, surrounding Ten-Tails completely.
Ten-Tails began to cry!
She didn't know who Aye was anymore, but her body instinctively refused to attack these clones.
With Aye's duplicates, Ye Liang constructed a "beautiful" Great Wall of Women!
Boom!
Ye Liang's original body jumped onto Ten-Tails' nose. Then, his pupils widened—his mind dived straight into Ten-Tails' consciousness.
He arrived at a resonating realm.
Everything was blurry here.
But Ye Liang knew—he had entered Kaguya Hime's inner world.
He'd visited his own inner world before, so he recognized it immediately.
"Why is everything water?" Ye Liang frowned.
Inside Kaguya Hime's world, all he could see was endless water—an ocean surging wildly enough to form a Water Cube!
Ye Liang grew up in the countryside; he'd never seen a Water Cube before—a huge modern structure used for swimming. To him, it looked like a giant reservoir.
Finding no one on the water surface, Ye Liang dove straight into Kaguya Hime's aquatic realm.
His swimming skills were decent enough.
He kept diving deeper.
After reaching over a thousand meters underwater, he finally saw Kaguya Hime lying at the bottom.
Naked, she hugged her knees, pitifully curled up at the ocean floor.
"This girl—is she asleep?" Ye Liang gently swam closer, approached Kaguya Hime, and gave her a tap.
She woke up.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Kaguya Hime asked with a very calm expression. She looked at Ye Liang blankly, like an innocent child.
Ye Liang hesitated.
She didn't recognize him?
That shouldn't be possible!
He was still maintaining Aye's appearance.
According to his theory, the subconscious always remembers the people most important to us without a doubt.
Aye was the one who caused her corruption. She should have been the most important person to her.
"Could it be that her parents are actually the most important?" Ye Liang frowned.
That wasn't impossible either.
If neither her significant other nor her closest friend were the most important people to her, then it stood to reason that her parents might be the key to awakening Kaguya Hime!
"Damn it! In a crisis like this, where am I supposed to find your parents?!
Kaguya, you're really screwing me over!"
Ye Liang rolled his eyes.
Suddenly, Kaguya Hime curiously sniffed at his neck.
"You have this... presence. It feels really familiar, yet why can't I place it?"
Presence?
Ye Liang took a whiff of himself.
Oh my goodness!
There's no smell at all in the inner world!
He felt a bit absurd.
At this moment, Kaguya Hime happily leaned closer. She nestled her head on his shoulder, then hugged him tightly.
"Sis, let me hug you for a while, okay?"
Ye Liang gulped nervously. Kaguya Hime's chest was pressed right up against him!
"S-sure! You can hug me as long as you want!"
He instinctively agreed.
After dozens of minutes, he started feeling anxious!
This wasn't sustainable!
Clearly!
Though servant girl Aye was quite important to her, she wasn't the most important person!
Now, only by finding that most important person could Kaguya Hime be fully awakened.
[Transformation Jutsu!]
He began searching among the surrounding people!
Anyone he'd encountered with Kaguya, he transformed into one by one. He even transformed into Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Unfortunately, none of it worked!
The only thing she remembered was not wanting to let go of him — nothing else came back.
Ye Liang gave up helplessly.
"It seems I have no choice but to give up."
He tried to push Kaguya away, but it was useless. With no other option, he reluctantly ended the transformation.
"You... You're Ye Liang!" Kaguya suddenly cried out!
She looked at Ye Liang with flushed cheeks and quickly removed her arms from around him.
"What do you think you're doing! Pervert! How could you do something so despicable to me!"
"What did I even do?"
Ye Liang was stunned.
"You were the one clinging onto me, remember!"
He knew saying more would be pointless.
Women never thought things through like normal people.
"Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore. No good ever comes from being kind." Feeling slightly depressed, Ye Liang was just about to leave when something suddenly dawned on him.
"You remember me?"
"Of course I remember you! You perverted stalker who wouldn't let me go home! You imprisoned me! And you even abused me!"
"Who abused you..."
Ye Liang was stunned.
Suddenly, a thought struck him!
No matter what Kaguya Hime said about him, the fact remained that she recognized him!
Subconsciously, only the most important person could be recognized! In other words, Ye Liang was Kaguya Hime's most important person!
"How is that possible!"
Ye Liang stared blankly at Kaguya Hime.
"So you've fallen for me!"
Kaguya Hime's expression instantly changed. Hurriedly covering her face, she turned her back to him. "Pervert! What nonsense are you spouting now! How could I possibly fall for you!
You're such a conceited guy."
"Hehe..."
Seeing Kaguya's expression, no matter how thick-skinned Ye Liang was, he got the message loud and clear.
"Then let's not talk anymore. We should hurry up and go."
"Go where?" Kaguya Hime instinctively asked when she heard Ye Liang speaking. It was only at this moment that she realized she was actually in an underwater world!
"Where is this place? How did I get here?"
"This is your inner world!" Ye Liang said. "You lost it earlier and became the [Ten-Tails], so I had no choice but to dive into your inner world.
You're on your own now — figure it out."
"So that's how it is!" Kaguya Hime replied.
At this moment, her memories were slowly trickling back.
Once her subconscious recognized someone, the memories came rushing back in waves.
Soon, she remembered the cursed monk who betrayed her!
"That's right! What happened to Isshiki Otsutsuki?"
"Isshiki Otsutsuki? Isn't he long dead?"
"He isn't dead!" Kaguya Hime declared firmly. After briefly explaining to Ye Liang, both of them understood.
"So it was him!"
