A trace of surprise appeared in Ji Mingyu’s eyes. “The Five Elements Sword. Although its material is a bit crude, it’s indeed very rare.”

He slowly leaned down, approaching the girl on the bed. His intense gaze was directed at the girl’s peerless and stunning beauty.

Her eyes, clear and shimmering with a bright purple glow, were mesmerizing, stirring the souls of those who beheld them. It seemed as if they had captured Ji Mingyu’s heart long ago.

The next moment, Ji Mingyu’s eyes narrowed slightly. His hand, swift as lightning, reached out and caught the girl’s swinging hand.

The invisible needle exuding cold air fell on the bed and quickly turned into water vapor, disappearing.

Xi Yue didn’t stop there. She supported herself on the bed with her other unrestrained hand, allowing her to turn away and kick Ji Mingyu hard with her left foot.

Ji Mingyu didn’t even budge. He clasped the girl’s slender ankles. Then, his figure suddenly swayed and he pressed forward, pinning the girl’s petite body firmly under him.

Xi Yue’s face turned red all at once, her eyes filled with both shame and anger.

At this moment, their position was too intimate and embarrassing for her.

Xi Yue only wore a thin layer of clothing. With the man pressing her tightly beneath him, their skin was separated only through the thin fabric, allowing him to feel the girl’s exquisite curves and her warm, soft skin.

Ji Mingyu had Xi Yue’s hands secured above her head, while his other hand captured one of her ankles, drawing it to his side. His fingers, cool and lightly calloused, gently stroked the warm, smooth surface of her foot, akin to jade in its softness.

“Asshole, let me go!”

Xi Yue struggled intensely. However, her resistance was met with Ji Mingyu getting closer to her. Even the man’s originally cold body began to warm, slowly taking on a smoldering heat.

Ji Mingyu leaned over and looked at the girl below him. The hand that was originally holding the girl’s ankle moved to her face and gently touched the soft skin. It was as smooth as jade and warm to the touch.

The warmth exuded from her body made Ji Mingyu’s eyes flash with a hint of trance.

It had been many years since he had felt such warmth, and it was so comfortable that he wanted to moan as the sensation circulated throughout his body.

Since that day, he had tried countless methods, but the cold inside him clung like a bone-deep maggot, ever-present like a shadow.

After his avatar journeyed in the mortal world, he felt the coldness within him dissipated a lot. At least Zhu Que and Qing Long would no longer shiver from the cold when they were close to him.

However, even though part of the coldness had dissipated, it was far less than the warmth at this moment. This warmth, missing for over a thousand years, seemed to melt away the coldness and indifference on his face.

The dark eyes were tainted with a little tenderness. There was a desire and affection that surged up from the depths of his soul that he was not aware of.

Xi… Xi… what is that name that is deeply imprinted on my soul?

I’m so eager to get her, so eager to be close to her, so eager to integrate her into my life.

Ji Mingyu lowered his head and kissed those pink lips like a possessed man.

However, Xi Yue did not see the changing emotions in Ji Mingyu’s eyes. She was simply consumed by a mix of shame and anger.

Despite this man being a complete stranger and seemingly insane, when he gently and tenderly caressed her cheek, a long-lost fluttering sensation emerged within her, as if she was being cherished and cared for by Nangong Yu.
