Ding Yumian, with her eyes tightly shut, trembled slightly as golden specks of light floated out from the black stones on the ground and entered her body.
Suddenly, a colossal phantom emerged behind Ding Yumian, its aura incredibly terrifying.
Upon closer inspection, it was a massive eye with numerous tentacles!
"This is… the Evil Eye Tyrant!" Lin Chen muttered to himself, a hint of joy appearing on his handsome face.
Ding Yumian opened her eyes, her body trembling, her eye sockets suddenly turning crimson, and crystal-clear tears instantly streamed out, yet her face was full of smiles.
"Lin Chen… I… I can control it now! I really controlled it!" Ding Yumian said, trembling.
Looking at Ding Yumian, who was crying tears of joy, Lin Chen felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, your Spirit is very powerful. It is called the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, possessing powerful mental force, and it matches your talent very well! Now you need to learn to control your Spirit. Try to recall your Spirit with your will, and in the future, when you want to use it, also summon it with your will!"
Ding Yumian nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the Evil Eye Tyrant was absorbed by her.
Ding Yumian suddenly threw herself into Lin Chen's arms and burst into tears. Ding Yumian cried very aggrievedly, like a child who had made a mistake, continuously muttering, "Thank you!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, continuously stroking her head, quietly comforting her.
Over the years, Ding Yumian had lived too suppressed. It was not a bad thing to vent properly!
Time passed by minute by minute. Half an hour later, Ding Yumian finally cried all her tears dry and slowly regained her composure.
Feeling the warm embrace, Ding Yumian slowly pulled away from Lin Chen's arms, looked up slightly, and said awkwardly, "You must be laughing at me!"
Lin Chen said gently, "It's fine, I completely understand your feelings!"
Ding Yumian softly hummed and said, "Thank you, your help is like giving me a second life. Don't worry, I will guard your secret with my life!"
Lin Chen waved his hand and smiled, "It's not that serious! Go and start your new life."
Looking at Lin Chen, who was within reach, Ding Yumian suddenly gathered her courage, and her lips slowly moved towards Lin Chen.
"Kiss…"
Ding Yumian's moist lips lightly kissed Lin Chen's thin lips, and a blush immediately appeared on her beautiful face.
As a former The Afflicted, she didn't know when her talent would suddenly erupt and harm those around her, nor did she know when she would be taken away as an anomaly. So, when she realized her difference, she believed that she was not worthy of love at all and tried to avoid contact with the opposite sex.
It was only at this moment, with her problem completely resolved by Lin Chen, that she became full of longing for the future, including love.
Lin Chen was stunned. All along, their interactions had been very pleasant. Ding Yumian was more like Lin Chen's confidante. Lin Chen knew his own character, so he didn't want to break this special relationship.
Lin Chen looked at her beautiful and kind face and slowly said, "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend, and not just one, I…"
Before Lin Chen could finish his sentence, Ding Yumian covered his lips with her hand. Ding Yumian smiled and said, "What are you thinking? This is my thank you gift!"
Although Ding Yumian was smiling, Lin Chen saw a hint of loss in her eyes, and this hint of loss made Lin Chen's heart skip a beat.
Lin Chen grabbed the jade hand on his mouth and pulled Ding Yumian into his arms, "If you don't mind… I will always be by your side!"
At this moment, Lin Chen simply didn't want to lose Ding Yumian, so he acted on impulse. Those damned emotions, let them be broken!
Ding Yumian softly hummed, her delicate body trembling slightly, allowing Lin Chen to hug her tightly without any struggle. Slowly, a smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, silence was more eloquent than words; everything was understood without speaking.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen said to Ding Yumian, "Oh, right, you haven't tested your spirit power yet. I'll test your spirit power first!"
Understanding Ding Yumian's feelings, Lin Chen was not in a hurry. He took out a crystal ball.
Ding Yumian, who had left Lin Chen's embrace, was full of shyness. She softly responded and then, according to Lin Chen's request, placed her slender jade hand on the crystal ball!
A golden light suddenly emitted from within the crystal ball, and the light was exceptionally dazzling.
"Innate Full spirit power!" Lin Chen said calmly.
The appearance of the second Innate Full spirit power did not make Lin Chen overly excited. Ding Yumian was different from Lingling. Ding Yumian herself was a The Afflicted, possessing extremely strong talent and having awakened a powerful Spirit. If she hadn't awakened Innate Full spirit power, it would have seemed strange instead!
"What is Innate Full spirit power?" Ding Yumian asked.
"Innate Full spirit power is…" Lin Chen gently explained knowledge about Spirit, spending the entire day as a teacher, patiently giving lessons to Ding Yumian until sunset, when the two left the hotel, reluctantly saying goodbye.
…
Lin Chen did not return to his small two-bedroom apartment but went back to the shared villa. Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had already returned. Mu Nujiao was cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Ai Tutu was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
As soon as Ai Tutu saw Lin Chen, she immediately came over, continuously questioning Lin Chen about his bet with Mu Nujiao.
Da Tu Tu's Spirit of inquiry was commendable, but no matter how she asked, it ultimately ended in failure.
After a while, Mu Nujiao also finished dinner. The three sat at the dining table eating dinner. Mu Nujiao glared at Lin Chen, her expression somewhat resentful, while Ai Tutu ate and laughed, as if watching a good show between the two.
Lin Chen quickly finished dinner and then mouthed "waiting for you" to Mu Nujiao. Mu Nujiao snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Lin Chen.
"Splish, splash…" After returning to his room, Lin Chen changed clothes and washed up.
The bright moonlight scattered over this land, as if draping it in a silver-white veil.
"Knock, knock, knock…" With a knock on the door, a graceful figure appeared in Lin Chen's room.
"What, very unwilling?" Lin Chen said, looking at Mu Nujiao's resentful face.
Saying that, Lin Chen ran into the bathroom, took out a wicker basket, and handed it to Mu Nujiao.
Mu Nujiao reluctantly took the wicker basket and said, "Lin Chen, let's discuss it again, okay?"
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Discuss what else? You wouldn't really want to renege, would you?"
Mu Nujiao said awkwardly, "It's not reneging, it's just… can I not use my hands?"
Lin Chen said with a smile, "You can, but…"
Mu Nujiao's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly asked, "But what?"
Lin Chen's lips curved slightly upwards, and pointing to his lips, he said, "But you have to kiss me!"
