"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations! You helped Ya Fei obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, prevented Xiao Yan from acquiring it, and successfully altered the original timeline. Reward: 6666 attribute points."
The system notification echoed in Ye Feng's mind, crisp and satisfying.
These allocable attribute points were a huge boon for Ye Feng, especially for enhancing his physical cultivation. His body had already reached a terrifying realm, to the point that even someone like Qian Baier, a Half-Sage, couldn't faze him.
Just as Ye Feng was about to enjoy his reward, a look of pain spread across Ya Fei's face.
"Unusual fire reaction?" Ye Feng asked, frowning.
"Yes, Master Ye. This Heavenly Flame is surging through every corner of my body... It's trying to invade every part of me." Her expression twisted in confusion and fear. "I can feel it... it's coming from my Na Ling. But that's impossible... right?"
Ye Feng's expression hardened. "Absorbing spirit... reaction from the fire?"
"Didn't you say this kind of thing only happens when multiple Heavenly Flame are fused?" Ya Fei asked, her face flushed with unease. "I've only refined the Fallen Heart Flame! Why is this happening?"
"That's what I said. Heavenly Flame reactions usually occur during the fusion of multiple fires. But this is your first and only Heavenly Flame... Cai Lin didn't have this problem when she refined hers either."
Ye Feng fell silent, deep in thought. In the original storyline, Xiao Yan had encountered similar symptoms after fusing multiple flames—particularly the Fallen Heart Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. But those were different circumstances.
"This... this is strange..." he muttered.
He failed to notice the flicker of guilt that passed through Ya Fei's eyes.
Then a thought hit him like lightning.
"Could it be... your Fire Spirit Physique?"
"Fire Spirit Physique?" Ya Fei blinked in confusion.
"Yes. Your body constitution is second only to the Ancient Sacred Body. It's not inferior to a tenth-grade Dou Emperor bloodline. Maybe because of your fire affinity, the Heavenly Flame reacted this way. It might've merged too naturally, producing an 'inner fire resonance' like Xiao Yan's." Ye Feng hypothesized.
"...That makes sense," Ya Fei said softly, lowering her gaze.
In truth, she wasn't sure either. But one thing she did know—this was her only chance.
Over the past year, she had fallen deeply in love with Ye Feng. She was his maid, his servant, his follower—but more than anything, she wanted to be his woman. This might be the only moment she'd ever have.
She wasn't as radiant as Queen Medusa, nor as divine as Gu Xun'er. But in the Jia Ma Empire, she had been a top beauty—a socialite famed for her elegance.
And right now, the thought of feigning this "aftereffect" didn't feel shameful. Not if it meant staying by Ye Feng's side.
"How about getting some fresh air?" Ye Feng asked casually.
"…"
Ya Fei froze. That was clearly a rejection—gentle, but still a rejection.
But she had made up her mind.
"Master Ye... I... I can't hold on anymore..." she murmured, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings. Her voice, her expression—pure enchantment. In that moment, her allure was no less than Queen Medusa's in her most seductive form.
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned.
Among the women Ye Feng had known: Xiao Wu was the cutest, Liu Erlong the most daring, Bibi Dong the most noble, Bo Sanxi the most graceful, Zhu Zhuqing the coldest—but Ya Fei and Queen Medusa? They were the most dangerously charming.
"Ya Fei, don't rush this—"
"Master Ye… please…"
She threw herself into his arms, her body pressing close, her voice trembling with suppressed desire.
In the depths of the cave, a soft glow shimmered—and although no eyes witnessed the scene, the cave bore silent testimony to the moment.

"Ding Dong!"
"Congratulations! You have successfully captured Miterr Ya Fei's heart and body, altering the original timeline. Reward: 9999 allocable attribute points."
"What the hell?" Ye Feng blinked, stunned.
He'd received more attribute points than he had when he spent a night with Queen Medusa. It made no sense—until he thought about it.
His night with Medusa had been transactional. She had needed him before evolving. Her heart hadn't been in it.
But Ya Fei?
She had given everything—heart, body, and soul.
"What's wrong?" Ya Fei asked shyly.
"Nothing. The night's still young… let's continue."
"Ahh... again?"
---
The next day, just past noon, sounds of battle echoed from outside the cave.
Ye Feng opened his eyes, his spiritual energy instantly spreading across dozens of miles.
About ten miles away, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was locked in a fierce battle—with a young girl.
A girl? No... a child?
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes.
She looked no older than twelve or thirteen. Dressed in white, with long purple hair, delicate features, and a cute appearance—yet her sharp gaze was anything but childish.
Despite being only at the Dou Wang level, she was trading blows evenly with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King—who had just stepped into the Dou Zong realm.
"Ya Fei, time to wake up," Ye Feng called softly.
But Ya Fei clung to him, nestled on his chest, refusing to budge.
Ye Feng smiled, stroked her hair, then disappeared with a flash of light.
Moments later, he stood atop a boulder, watching from afar.
His gaze focused on the white-clad girl.
She was dangerous—no ordinary Dou Wang could fight a Dou Zong beast to a standstill.
This child… was no ordinary child.
