Before dawn, Fu Ye rose from bed, his energy undiminished as always.
He hadn't slept well last night. Without Ah Yin and Yuehua by his side, the bed felt unbearably empty.
It had been a week since he last returned to the Star Dou Forest, and he missed Ah Yin dearly.
After dressing, his figure vanished from the Juxiang Pavilion in an instant.
Through relentless practice over the past six months, he had mastered simple spatial jumps—much like Gu Yuena from Douluo Dalu III—far surpassing his own running speed.
In less than two minutes, he traveled from Heaven Dou Imperial City to the heart of the Star Dou Forest.
…
The Lake of Life — Star Dou Forest's Core Region
The sky was still pitch black—perfect for a nap while cuddling Ah Yin.
His gaze fell upon the exquisite three-story mahogany villa he had purchased from the system, nestled beside the Lake of Life. A swell of pride rose in his chest.
'This is a proper home.'
Not far away, the Titan Giant Ape still slumbered soundly. Fu Ye paid it no mind.
Stepping lightly into the villa before daybreak, he crept up to the second floor and slipped into Ah Yin's room.
The thick curtains blocked out any outside light, but Fu Ye could just make out the delicate figure curled up beneath the blankets.
Stripping off his clothes, he slipped under the covers beside Ah Yin.
"Mmmph—"
As expected, she was startled by his sudden presence. But to avoid disturbing others, Fu Ye considerately covered her soft lips with his hand.
Holding her warmth close, he leaned in and whispered by her ear:
"Ah Yin… I missed you so much this past week."
"Mmm… mmmph…"
Her muffled whimpers told him she had missed him just as much.
"Darling, your husband will take care of you right now."
Without waiting for her to catch her breath, he pinned Ah Yin beneath him and sealed her lips with a kiss.
"Mmmph—!"
After removing the obstructive layers of clothing, Fu Ye buried his face in the crook of her neck, murmuring:
"I'm coming."
"Hah…"
"Ahh.. Uhh…"
A delicate gasp escaped her before the room filled with the sounds of their passionate union.
Before long, however, his system notifications began erupting wildly. But Fu Ye was in no mood to pay attention—he muted them without a second thought.
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 70%]
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 65%] (Muted)
"Ahh… Hsss—"
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 40%] (Muted)
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 45%] (Muted)
"Nngh…"
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 95%] (Muted)
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 99%] (Muted)
"Mmm…"
To avoid disturbing Ah Wu and Xiao Wu, Fu Ye had set up a soundproof barrier.
Strangely, Ah Yin was unusually quiet today. Though she had resisted slightly at first, she soon grew proactive—something he'd never seen in their six months together.
Feeling her cling tightly to him, Fu Ye decided to indulge her all day.
'Daring to challenge your husband's authority? Don't blame me for being ruthless.'
And so, from before dawn until the moon hung high in the sky—and well into the night—their battle raged on.
Only in the early hours of the morning did Ah Yin finally collapse, utterly spent.
But Fu Ye wasn't done.
'Since you provoked me, I'll push you to your limits.'
By the next dawn, he finally held her close and drifted off to sleep. He hadn't expected Ah Yin to be so insatiable after just a week apart.
Normally, she'd surrender within half a day. Today's stamina was beyond anything he'd imagined.
But as a bearer of the Dragon God's bloodline, his vitality was boundless—not to mention the energy tonics available in the system shop.
With the deed done, he dismissed the barrier and slept soundly, Ah Yin still in his arms.
[Ah Wu's current favorability: 100%] (Muted)
[Congratulations, Host! Successfully conquered Ah Wu. Maximum favorability locked.] (Muted)
Yet not long after they fell asleep, a blue-gold figure quietly approached the room from somewhere unseen.
Detecting Fu Ye's presence, she slipped under the covers, tugged one of his arms free, and nestled her head against him.
…
Noon
A sliver of sunlight pierced through the heavy curtains, rousing Fu Ye from his deep slumber.
The scent of two similar yet distinct fragrances filled his nose.
Wrapped in the warmth beside him, he considered dozing off again—until he noticed Ah Yin was already awake.
"Mwah. Ye Ye, you're so bad."
She pecked his lips, her expression shy.
"I'm going to play with Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu. Ye Ye, stay here and rest with Sister Wu for a while."
With that, she dressed quickly and skipped out of the room.
'Huh?'
'Something wasn't right.'
'Rest with Sister Wu?
How was Ah Yin even moving? Even with the regenerative abilities of the Blue Silver Grass of Life (the evolved form of her spirit), she shouldn't have recovered this fast.
Just as suspicion crept in, the soft weight pressing against his left arm shifted.
'Huh?!'
'This… isn't right.'
"F-Fu Ye… you… you little brute."
A weak, familiar voice reached his left ear.
'Oh no.'
'No, no, no—'
"Mmm…"
The warmth against his arm slithered up to his waist, and a soft cheek pressed against his chest.
Realization struck Fu Ye like lightning.
If the one he'd spent the entire day ravaging wasn't Ah Yin… then who—?
"Ack—!"
A sharp but gentle bite on his chest jolted him fully awake, followed by a warm breath against his skin.
"You jerk… bullying my sister like that… I'll bite you to death!"
'It's over.'
The truth was out—he'd committed a grave mistake!
But then his eyes fell upon the white bedsheet… and the unmistakable crimson stain.
For five full seconds, his mind went blank.
'A virgin?
'No way. That can't be!'
'System! Explain this!'
[Ding! After a hundred-thousand-year soul beast takes human form, they revert to a six-year-old child's body. Their original beast form has no bearing on their new physique, though they retain their innate talents and the accelerated cultivation speed unique to humans.]
'What?!'
'Huh?!'
So… he hadn't done anything wrong after all?
But before he could process this, he noticed Ah Wu had woken up—her tender gaze brimming with unspoken desire.
"Mmm…?"
This time, it was Fu Ye's turn to make a confused sound.
Then, without warning—
"Haaah…"
Ah Wu exhaled softly against his ear.
"Hurry… give it to me…."
'Whattt!!!'
