Tang Yue, like a charming little enchantress, was irresistible.
Her last shred of rationality allowed Tang Yue to voice her final thought, then she forcefully kissed Lin Chen's thin lips again.
In an instant, their two ambiguous figures vanished from this world.
...
Inside the core palace of the Spirit Realm, Tang Yue slowly opened her beautiful eyes, immediately feeling a complete lack of strength.
Seeing the familiar figure before her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She scanned her surroundings, realizing the environment was completely unfamiliar.
"Awake?" Lin Chen's gentle voice sounded, his thin lips lightly kissing Tang Yue's forehead.
"Mhm! It's a good thing I called you this time, or else I would have..." Tang Yue said, still somewhat fearful.
Lin Chen said, "There's nothing to be done. Human hearts are treacherous; sometimes, people are more terrifying than demons."
"Yes, I never expected it to be like this!" Tang Yue said helplessly.
As an Advanced-Tier Mage, Tang Yue had thought dealing with an Intermediate Mage would be a piece of cake, but she nearly capsized in the gutter.
She was incredibly grateful now that she hadn't underestimated her opponent and had called Lin Chen over.
"So, you must cultivate diligently. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are but fleeting clouds!" Lin Chen said.
"Yes, I have indeed been somewhat lax in my cultivation!" Tang Yue nodded and said.
Lin Chen chuckled, "It's good you know. Take fewer missions normally. Ideals are very important, but life is only once!"
Feeling Lin Chen's concern, Tang Yue said with a smile, "I'll listen to you, my little man!"
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Lin Chen asked.
Tang Yue nodded, then looked at her surroundings again and asked curiously, "Little man, where is this?"
Lin Chen slowly said, "This is part of my inheritance; it's an independent space that I call the Spirit Realm."
As Lin Chen spoke, he took out a crystal necklace and continued, "This necklace is cast from the core of the Spirit Realm. It not only contains a storage space but also connects to this room. If you encounter danger again in the future, you can come in here to hide!"
The space inside the room was very large, totaling one hundred and fifty square meters, with all living facilities readily available, even internet access. This house was like a folded space, linked to the palace within the Spirit Realm, just like a sub-space of the Spirit Realm.
When Mu Ningxue awakened her Spirit, Lin Chen had given her her own necklace. However, he had always forgotten to give Tang Yue hers, and only now did he remember such a thing existed!
As for a love triangle?
It simply didn't exist!
Lin Chen wasn't worried at all that they would meet in the Spirit Realm, because their permissions only allowed them within this room; they couldn't go anywhere else in the Spirit Realm.
As for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, due to their long-term residence within the Spirit Realm, Lin Chen had opened up their permissions. The two women could not only enter and exit the Spirit Realm freely but also go to various corners of the Spirit Realm, just like Lin Chen.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were also more accustomed to staying in the Spirit Realm because the Spirit Realm was not much different from the true Douluo Continent.
Seeing this, Tang Yue happily kissed Lin Chen, saying emotionally, "Little man, you're so good! Help me put it on!"
Lin Chen put the necklace on Tang Yue, grinning, "Then shouldn't Teacher give me a reward?"
Tang Yue turned, pinning Lin Chen beneath her, and said seductively, "Little man! Teacher will give you a good lesson right now!"
Three hours later, Tang Yue lay panting in Lin Chen's arms, softly cursing, "You're an animal!"
Lin Chen gave a wicked smile, then pinned her down on Tang Yue's body and said, "Call me Daddy!"
"No... You're annoying!" Tang Yue said shyly.
"Are you going to call me or not?" Lin Chen said with a wicked smile.
"No...呜..."
"Are you sure you won't call?"
"No...呜..."
Three hours later...
"Daddy... I was wrong..."
...
For the next half a month, the two stayed in Hangzhou, constantly together, their feelings rapidly warming. Tang Yue also gradually lost herself under Lin Chen's 'tyranny'!
Inside the hotel, the two were seated at a dining table, wearing bathrobes.
Although Tang Yue's complexion was rosy, she gave off a sense of weakness, like a walking contradiction.
"Do you like children?" Tang Yue asked tentatively, chewing her food.
Lin Chen didn't even think, replying directly, "I do!"
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Tang Yue's face. After a moment of silence, she probed again, "I haven't used contraception recently!"
Lin Chen was stunned. He put down his chopsticks, finished chewing his food, and looked at Tang Yue seriously, asking, "Have you decided?"
Tang Yue's smile faded, and she slowly said, "I'm not young anymore. I want to take advantage of being young now to recover more quickly!"
Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "What about the Judgment Association? Isn't that your ideal?"
Tang Yue put down her chopsticks, leaned back in her chair, and said, "I'll take a leave of absence for now. It's a good opportunity to cultivate well during this time, just to settle myself down!"
Lin Chen asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Tang Yue's expression was somewhat cold. She said, "I've thought it through. What, are you unwilling?"
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "How could I be unwilling? You know, my parents' dying wish was for me to live a peaceful life and then expand the Lin family. It's just that, as you should know, I don't have much time. I'm afraid I won't be a good father."
Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and her charming smile reappeared. She said, "You definitely won't be a good father! Who told you to be so unfaithful! But don't worry, you go and do whatever you need to do. If we have a child this time, I won't return to the Judgment Association until the child grows up!"
Lin Chen said emotionally, "Won't that be too much of a sacrifice for you? After all, that's your ideal!"
Tang Yue sighed and said, "What can be done? Someone always has to make a sacrifice!"
"I..." For a moment, Lin Chen didn't know what to say, a look of guilt appearing on his face.
Tang Yue smiled lightly and said, "Alright, don't overthink it, and don't feel any pressure. This is my choice!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Chen took out two artifacts from the Spirit Realm and handed them to Tang Yue.
Tang Yue asked, puzzled, "What are these?"
Lin Chen smiled, "Open them and see!"
Tang Yue opened them and was filled with shock.
"The Star Sea Heavenly Vein is a relic from my parents; now I'm giving it to their daughter-in-law. Since you've decided, then settle down and strive to break through to Super-Tier as soon as possible! As for this Fire Soul Seed, I earned money to buy it myself. It has a six-fold amplification and even a Domain; it's a top-grade Soul Seed!" Lin Chen slowly introduced.
