After a full ten days, the commotion in the secret room gradually died down. Yu Rumeng was like a kitten, lying on Yang Kai’s chest, their skin touching, feeling each other’s heartbeat.
Yang Kai grabbed a strand of her hair and gently sniffed it. There was a pleasant smell coming from the Demon Saint’s body, neither sweet nor greasy, allowing him to relax.
A tingling sensation came from his chest, it was because Yu Rumeng had woken up from her slumber and her eyelashes were trembling.
Sure enough, a moment later, Yu Rumeng opened her eyes and turned to look at Yang Kai with a lazy smile.
“Have you rested well?” Yang Kai’s mouth curled into a wicked smile.
Yu Rumeng seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help shivering as she stared at Yang Kai with a somewhat fearful look in her eyes. During these ten days, every time Yang Kai smiled like this, she would suffer a great deal of torture. If she wasn’t a Demon Saint, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a violent storm. She had long heard that dragon's nature were inherently lascivious, but only after personally confirming it did she realize that the rumors were true.
Yang Kai laughed and stroked her smooth back, “Don’t worry, there’s no more.”
Only then did Yu Rumeng let out a sigh of relief and glared at him before lowering her head again and quietly listening to the thumping sounds coming from Yang Kai’s chest.
Suddenly, Yang Kai sat up straight and straightened her body. Her long hair fell across her chest, blocking out the endless spring sunshine. As their eyes met, Yu Rumeng noticed that Yang Kai’s expression was extremely serious, as if he had made some important decision.
Yu Rumeng tilted her head and stared at him suspiciously.
“I have something to tell you,” Yang Kai said seriously, adding, “A secret.”
“Secret?” Yu Rumeng raised her brow and smiled, “Everyone has their own secrets, and there are things they don’t want others to know. Since it’s a secret, it’s not something to tell others. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.”
Yang Kai shook his head, “You’re already my woman now, I have nothing to hide from you.”
Yu Rumeng pursed her lips, “Now? Wasn’t it like this before?”
Yang Kai scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “It was the same in the past, but it’s different…”
Yu Rumeng naturally understood what he meant. Between a man and a woman, breaking through to the last layer was completely different from not breaking through it. Even though the two of them had had a great time together more than a year ago, she had driven him away in a fit of anger, only this time could they be considered to have reconciled.
Smiling lightly, Yu Rumeng also straightened her back and nodded, “Good, then I’ll listen to what kind of secrets husband has been hiding from me.”
This was the first time he had heard Yu Rumeng say the word ‘husband’, so Yang Kai still felt a little strange. The main thing was that this woman in front of him was not only his woman, but also a Demon Saint. This strange feeling gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Calming himself, Yang Kai said, “Enter my Knowledge Sea!”
Hearing this, Yu Rumeng didn’t hesitate and stretched out a finger, placing it on Yang Kai’s forehead. The next moment, the two of them closed their eyes at the same time, and Yu Rumeng’s Divine Sense surged as her Soul left her body.
Above his Knowledge Sea, a graceful figure gradually appeared. It was Yu Rumeng’s Soul Avatar.
If a person wanted to enter another person’s Knowledge Sea, they either had to use their powerful cultivation to forcefully break through their Divine Consciousness defences or the person would open their own Knowledge Sea.
The latter was undoubtedly a manifestation of extreme trust.
Yang Kai needed Yu Rumeng’s full support, and after their relationship had developed further, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to speak openly with her.
As soon as she entered Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea, Yu Rumeng let out a cry of surprise, because this Knowledge Sea was even wider than she had imagined. The seawater that represented the power of the Divine Soul was incomparably thick, and the pitch-black seawater was filled with a demonic aura, a symbol of Yang Kai’s complete demonic transformation.
Although such a Knowledge Sea was inferior to hers, it was much stronger than an ordinary Half-Saint.
Yang Kai’s figure appeared beside her and held her hand. Yu Rumeng turned to look at him and Yang Kai pointed in a certain direction, “Do you recognize that thing?”
Yu Rumeng turned around and looked in the direction he was pointing, her expression turning serious.
In the middle of the pitch-black sea, there was a treasure island that was emitting a seven colored light. No matter how fiercely the seawater attacked it, the Seven Colored Treasure Island remained unmoved, and Yu Rumeng could clearly feel a strange power emanating from it.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, instantly seeing through the true appearance of this Treasure Island.
“Soul Warming Lotus?” Yu Rumeng couldn’t help crying out in alarm. Under the violent fluctuations of her emotions, even her Soul Avatar trembled slightly, “Is this Soul Warming Lotus?”
“Madam’s vision is as bright as a torch!” Yang Kai squeezed her hand, “This is the Soul Warming Lotus.” After all, she was a Demon Saint, so her vision was quite sharp. Even Xuan Bing and Bei Limo recognized the Soul Warming Lotus, so there was no reason for Yu Rumeng to not recognize it.
“You actually have the Soul Warming Lotus!” Yu Rumeng was truly shocked. If it was an ordinary treasure, it would have been fine, but as a Demon Saint, she really didn’t care about ordinary treasures, but the Soul Warming Lotus was different. She had only heard of this world’s most precious artifact and had never seen it with her own eyes. Her eyes never left the Soul Warming Lotus as she muttered, “I heard that the Soul Warming Lotus has the effect of nourishing one’s Soul. Even if the Soul Warming Lotus's Master dies, the Divine Soul’s power will not dissipate… No wonder I always felt that your Divine Soul’s strength was higher than your own cultivation, so this is the reason.”
Saying so, she ruthlessly pinched Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar had a much stronger perception than his physical body, so when he was suddenly pinched like this, Yang Kai immediately felt like he was in so much pain he wanted to die. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Madam, why did you pinch me?”
Yu Rumeng gnashed her teeth and said, “Well, you clearly know that my Divine Soul is injured, but for the past year, you have been watching me suffer day and night, unwilling to use this treasure to help me heal my injuries. Husband, you are truly ruthless!” As she spoke, she stared at Yang Kai with a look of resentment mixed with blood and tears.
Yang Kai laughed, “Didn’t you drive me away last time…”
Yu Rumeng coldly snorted, “If you really had the heart, how could you have been driven away by me!” As she spoke, she actually flung his hand away and turned away.
Yang Kai felt a headache coming on as he tried to calm her down.
“Why did you bring me here to see this? Is it to help me heal?” Yu Rumeng glared at him, “If you have such thoughts, this Queen will forgive you. Although it’s a bit late, it’s still better than nothing.”
“If Madam wants to treat her injuries, it’s naturally not a problem, but before that, I need to be honest with you about something,” Yang Kai lightly coughed and scratched his cheek, his face filled with discomfort.
“What is it?” Yu Rumeng glanced at him.
Yang Kai hesitated for a long time but was too embarrassed to say anything.
Yu Rumeng grit her teeth, “Do you still want to hide it from me today?”
Yang Kai lowered his head and whispered, “The Heart Seal Secret Technique you used was transferred to the Soul Warming Lotus by me.”
Yu Rumeng blinked as if she didn’t understand, “What did you say?”
Yang Kai explained, “It’s not that I wanted to transfer it there, it’s just that this thing seems to have this ability. I just casually tried it out, but who knew that the Heart Seal Secret Technique would run from my Knowledge Sea to… there.” Saying so, Yang Kai pointed to the Seven Colored Treasure Island and carefully observed Yu Rumeng’s expression.
Yu Rumeng was stunned for a moment before nodding lightly, “So that’s how it is. With the Heart Seal Secret Technique, how could you deceive me?” As soon as she finished speaking, she began punching and kicking Yang Kai, “You stinky man, you’ve been acting with me for so long, right?”
Yang Kai grit his teeth as he endured this violent storm, grimacing in pain.
But after a while, Yu Rumeng stopped and glared at him angrily.
Yang Kai asked, “Has Madam calmed down?”
“What do you think?” Yu Rumeng sneered.
Yang Kai immediately put on a fierce expression and waved his hand, “If Madam is still angry, please come and hit me again. I won’t complain even if you beat me to death.”
“Enough!”
Yang Kai grinned, “Does that mean Madam has calmed down?”
Yu Rumeng ignored him for a moment before suddenly sighing and saying, “Actually, I also have a secret I haven’t told you.”
“You can undo the Heart Seal Secret Technique?” Yang Kai smiled at her.
Yu Rumeng raised her head and stared at him with her mouth slightly agape. A moment later, her eyes couldn’t help becoming somewhat flustered, “How did you know?”
Yang Kai laughed, “Bei Limo and Senior Ming Yue both warned me about this, but Bei Limo was trying to drive a wedge between us while Senior Ming Yue kindly give me a reminder. One of them is a Star Boundary's Great Emperor while the other is a Demon Territory's Demon Saint, but both of them said such things, so of course I have some guesses.”
“That slut!” Yu Rumeng gnashed her teeth, obviously cursing Bei Limo. After cursing, she said somewhat nervously, “They’re right, the Heart Seal Secret Technique can indeed be unlocked. I told you before that once the Heart Seal Secret Technique is used, the two of us will live and die together, never abandoning each other, that was a lie.”
Yang Kai said, “Even if Madam doesn’t admit it today, I won’t know. Why are you telling me this?”
Yu Rumeng replied, “You and I are already in such a state, what’s the point of hiding it from you? If one day I let you confirm this matter from someone else, it will only create a barrier between us, so it’s better if I tell you personally.”
Yang Kai took two steps forward and held her hand, gently saying, “Thank you for telling me this.”
Yu Rumeng raised her head, “You’re not angry? If you’re angry, you can just beat me back. Just now… I attacked you.”
Yang Kai laughed loudly, “How could I bear to hit you? You and I both hid things from each other before, so let’s just say we’re even.”
Yu Rumeng’s beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude.
Yang Kai put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the Soul Warming Lotus with her, saying, “Since Madam can undo the Heart Seal Secret Technique, then you should do so. The current situation is too unfair for you.”
Hearing this, Yu Rumeng’s tender body trembled as she turned to look at Yang Kai, “You want me to undo it?”
“Of course, this is also why I brought you here today,” Yang Kai nodded calmly.
