Chapter 79 Senior Brother... Don't Go...

Ling Wei's fingertips were still hooked around his neck, her body winding around him like a vine, her scalding breath spraying against his throat. Her tearful murmur, "Don't leave me behind," was like a fine needle, gently pricking the softest part of his heart.

Lin Yue raised his hand to clasp her waist, his palm touching the warm skin beneath her silk robe; the delicate sensation made his fingertips tremble slightly.

He did not rush to deepen the kiss, but instead gently stroked her waist, as if soothing a frightened kitten.

Ling Wei, however, seemed to find encouragement; she stood on her tiptoes, actively pressing her lips tighter against his, and carefully extended the tip of her tongue, carrying a hint of naive exploration.

In that very moment of lips meeting and breaths entangling, a sudden "hum" exploded in Lin Yue's mind—

[Ding! Detected that the emotional resonance between the Host and Ling Wei has reached its peak! Ling Wei's "Reliance + Devotion" emotions towards the Host have broken through the threshold, Favorability +15 (Current 104)!]

[Triggered "Spirit Pivot Resonance" effect: Ling Wei's Tianyan Spirit Pivot Body and the Host's Hundred Meridians Unblocked body are perfectly compatible, enabling the Dual Cultivation state!]

[Dual Cultivation reward preview: 1. Host's Wanjun Overlord Body Awakening level increased by 10%, unlocking the "Spirit Rhyme Pulse Protection" ability; 2. Ling Wei's Array Dao comprehension sharing ratio increased to 70%, Host can simultaneously learn high-level variations of the "Zhou Tian Star Array"; 3. Unlock exclusive combo technique "Spirit Pivot Array-Breaking Fist" (Fusion of fist force and array patterns, dealing 200% damage to array-type enemies)!]

The cold System notification tone seemed exceptionally scorching at this moment, but Lin Yue had no time to look at those rewards.

He looked down at Ling Wei in his arms, her eyes red-rimmed and hazy, yet her expression exceptionally earnest, and felt his chest fill with a warm, melting emotion.

From this moment on, she was no longer a pawn for Qingyuan Attainment, nor a tool for the Family, but simply a girl who wanted to live for herself for once.

She wanted to give her softest side, without reservation, to the person she loved most.

"Silly girl." Lin Yue sighed softly, finally no longer holding back, and leaned down to respond passionately.

It was no longer the gentleness from before; carrying the unique weight and heat of the Wanjun Overlord Body, he gently pried open her lips and teeth, lingering with her tongue.

Ling Wei's body instantly went limp as if she had no bones; if not for Lin Yue clasping her waist, she would have almost collapsed to the ground. Her fingertips gripped his lapels tightly, her nails nearly embedding themselves into the fabric, and fragmented whimpers spilled from her throat, yet she actively pressed her body closer, as if wanting to melt into his very bones and blood.

The aroma of Joyous Union wine swirled around their noses, and the candlelight flickered more urgently, casting their overlapping shadows onto the wall, intertwined into one.

Lin Yue could clearly feel Ling Wei's heartbeat, thumping against his chest like a war drum, gradually synchronizing with his own; he could also feel the skin beneath her silk robe growing hotter and hotter, causing the temperature of his own palms to seem to rise as well.

"Senior Brother..." Ling Wei tilted her lips slightly, murmuring with unstable breath, her flowing gaze filled with moisture, "I... I am sincere..."

"I know." Lin Yue interrupted her, his voice hoarse from arousal; he raised his hand to gently brush away the undried tears from the corners of her eyes, his fingertips carrying a touch of cherishing, "I know it all."

Before the words had even faded, he tightened his arms and swept Ling Wei up into his arms horizontally.

Ling Wei let out a soft cry, subconsciously wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face into his chest; her nose brushed against the warm skin beneath his black martial attire, and even her earlobes turned completely red.

She knew clearly what would happen next...

This suddenly made her feel a bit afraid; after all, she hadn't just been here for a day or two.

On every silent night, waves of incomparably amorous and irrepressible sounds would always drift from Lin Yue's Immortal Cave...

Sometimes it was Su Qingyuan's, sometimes A He's, but more often than not, it came from Luo Ningshuang...

She was long past being a child who knew nothing, and she knew what all of this meant.

Senior Brother Lin was not always so gentle; once he entered the state, he would be like a robust and fanatical lion, pouring all his passion and love into it...

This made Ling Wei a little worried—would she be torn apart or ravaged until she was completely broken... But so what? No matter what, she was willing...

Lin Yue's arms were as solid as steel, yet carried just the right amount of gentleness; supporting Ling Wei's knees and back, he walked steadily toward the inner chamber.

Passing by the Spirit Spring, the murmuring sound of the water mixed with the crackling of the candlelight, making the room seem even more tranquil.

Ling Wei stole a glance, looking at Lin Yue's taut jawline, and at her own reflection in his eyes as he lowered his gaze; she felt as if her entire body was wrapped in a warm current.

She rubbed gently against his chest like a small beast that had found its home, no longer speaking, just quietly holding his neck, listening to his steady heartbeat, and feeling the vibration of his every step.

The bed in the inner chamber was already spread with soft brocade quilts; Lin Yue carefully placed Ling Wei on the couch, and just as his fingertips were about to release her, he was suddenly pulled back by Ling Wei.

She gripped his wrist, her eyes still holding a hint of timidity, but even more expectation: "Senior Brother... don't leave..."

Lin Yue leaned down and pressed a light kiss on her forehead, his palm stroking the dark hair scattered across the pillow: "I won't leave."

The light of the candles spilled in through the window lattice, falling upon their clasped hands.

Ling Wei's fingertips were still trembling slightly, but she took the initiative to gently loosen the tie of her silk robe, revealing the delicate skin of her neck, which flushed with a faint pink.

Lin Yue's breath suddenly tightened; he did not rush to act, but simply sat by the couch, using his fingertips to gently trace her brows and eyes, from the red-rimmed corners of her eyes to her slightly swollen lips, every part revealing a heart-stirring naivety and candor.

"Ling Wei." Lin Yue called her name softly, his voice filled with unprecedented seriousness, "From today on, you are not anyone's pawn, but my Dao Companion."

Ling Wei's tears welled up once more, but this time it was not a whimper of grievance, but a smile of relief. She raised her hand to hook around Lin Yue's neck, pulling him closer, her lips pressed against his ear, murmuring in a breathy voice: "Mm... Husband..."

This "Husband" was like a thunderclap, completely igniting the flames in Lin Yue's heart.

He leaned over and covered her body, and when his lips fell upon hers again, it was with an unmistakable sense of cherishing and heat.

Ling Wei's silk robe slowly slipped off during their entanglement, revealing skin as delicate as jade; her fingertips grazed Lin Yue's back, feeling the massive power contained beneath his muscles, yet she felt not a shred of fear, only peace.

The candlelight gradually burned to its end, and the halo of light in the room shifted from bright to a soft, warm yellow.

The sound of the Spirit Spring remained murmuring, but it was drowned out by the fragmented murmurs and the intertwined sounds of breathing coming from the couch, becoming the gentlest background music of this Joyous Union night.

Lin Yue held the warm body in his arms, feeling the faint spiritual rhyme emitted by Ling Wei's Tianyan Spirit Pivot Body slowly merging with his own Hundred Meridians Unblocked body; those rewards prompted by the System no longer seemed important at this moment—what was important was that the girl in his arms had finally lived for herself for once, and he would always protect this sincere love, until forever.

When the sky outside the window gradually turned a fish-belly white, Lin Yue finally gently brushed aside the hair on Ling Wei's forehead.

She was already fast asleep, yet her brows were no longer as taut as they used to be, a faint smile still lingering at the corners of her mouth, her cheek pressed against his chest, her breathing even and steady.

Lin Yue looked down at her sleeping face, his fingertips gently brushing her cheek, his heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction—this Lingyun Cave Dwelling was not a home because there were a few more girls, but because there was love, it had truly become a home.

His home was also theirs, the home of every one of them.
