Chapter 281: Heart!

The next morning, at dawn.

Jing Shaoyu woke up on Mo Hentian's bed. Turning his head, he saw Mo Hentian lying on top of him, her snow-white skin and the endless spring scenery making him feel a bit dizzy.

"Mm—"

A soft, coquettish moan escaped the girl's lips. Jing Shaoyu immediately withdrew his hand, which had been practicing kneading dough, and nervously looked at her slightly flushed face. Slowly, she opened her eyes, her pink pupils filled with shyness and reproach.

"Class monitor, you're bad!"

After waking up, the two quickly got up, washed, and then left the dormitory together.

On their way downstairs, neither of them mentioned what had happened on the bed, as if by mutual agreement.

They had been cultivating together late into the night, and after finishing, they had fallen asleep directly, which led to the morning's events.

They waited for Gu Yue and the other three in the lobby on the first floor, then went to the cafeteria together for breakfast.

"Brother Shaoyu, you didn't do anything bad with Little Mo last night, did you?" Xu Xiaoyan immediately grabbed one of Jing Shaoyu's arms, her cute face showing a fierce expression as she questioned him.

"Of course not, we were just cultivating together, just like we do," Jing Shaoyu said with a laugh, pinching Xu Xiaoyan's cute little nose.

"Better be so!" Gu Yue said coldly, her gaze shifting between Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian, but she didn't notice anything amiss.

"Hahaha!" Jing Shaoyu felt a bit uneasy under Gu Yue's scrutiny and could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

After the morning classes ended, Jing Shaoyu and Na'er didn't join the others for lunch but instead headed to Sea God Island.

"Brother," Na'er said with a melancholic expression on the boat, "do you not like Na'er anymore?"

"Why would you suddenly say that? How could I not like Na'er?" Jing Shaoyu was taken aback, then spoke earnestly, "I like Na'er the most!"

"Then why haven't you performed Martial Soul Fusion with me?" Na'er brought up the reason that had been bothering her. "It's understandable with Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan, since I wasn't by your side then. But why have Ye Xinglan and Mo Hentian already been able to perform Martial Soul Fusion with you, even though I've been by your side all along?"

"Na'er, be good, it's just that there hasn't been a suitable opportunity!" Jing Shaoyu forced a bitter smile, comforting Na'er, "Besides, didn't I tell you yesterday that we definitely have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Here, give me your hand!"

"Okay!" Na'er didn't hesitate and immediately placed her hand in front of Jing Shaoyu.

Jing Shaoyu directly grasped Na'er's small hand, pressing his palm tightly against hers. Then, he channeled his Soul Power towards his palm, saying, "Na'er, follow my rhythm."

"Mm!" Na'er nodded, then also circulated her Soul Power towards her palm.

Normally, their Soul Powers would converge and fuse at the point where their palms met, then flow into each other's bodies, achieving a state similar to Martial Soul Fusion, which is Harmonic Cultivation.

However, the boat remained still in the middle of the lake for a long time, and the auras between the two remained distinctly separate, showing no signs of fusion.

"How could this be?" Jing Shaoyu was utterly stunned. He had never imagined such a scenario. In theory, he and Na'er should definitely be able to perform Martial Soul Fusion. Yet, why couldn't either of his Martial Souls resonate with Na'er?

Could it be that because Na'er wasn't a complete life form, she wasn't worthy of Martial Soul Fusion with him? That would be far too unfair to Na'er!

"Na'er," he turned to her, only to find her face pale, her eyes lifeless, as if her heart had turned to ashes. He immediately grabbed her shoulders and called out in a deep voice, "Na'er, look at me! Look into my eyes!"

"Hehe," Na'er forced a bitter, despairing smile, tilting her head away, unwilling to meet Jing Shaoyu's gaze. Her voice was faint, "Brother, you don't need to worry. I'm fine, I just feel a little unwell!"

Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu's heart felt as if it were being torn apart. He pulled Na'er into his arms, holding her tightly, trying to warm her icy heart with his own chest.

"Brother, my heart hurts so much," Na'er, held by Jing Shaoyu, instinctively curled up, feeling an impulse to merge completely into his body. She whispered, "Perhaps, I shouldn't have hoped for too much. Meeting you, Brother, Na'er is already very satisfied. I shouldn't ask for anything more."

Listening to Na'er's words that sounded almost like a farewell, Jing Shaoyu panicked. He truly panicked.

He forcefully lifted Na'er's head, making her eyes meet his, and almost shouted, "Look into my eyes, Na'er, look into my eyes! What do you see?"

Na'er looked dazedly at Jing Shaoyu, seeing the resolute gaze in his pure eyes reflecting a girl with long silver hair. She murmured, "Me?"

"That's right! It's you!" Jing Shaoyu's tone was unyielding, "Remember, you are Na'er, my sister, and the person I love the most. Without my permission, you are not allowed to give up on yourself like this!"

Hearing Jing Shaoyu's domineering words, a glimmer of light finally appeared on Na'er's delicate face. She smiled, tears streaming down, and said, "Brother, you're so overbearing!"

"That's right, I am overbearing!" Jing Shaoyu said arrogantly, "I just want to tell you, without my permission, no one can take you away from me!"

"Alright, then from now on, you better keep a close eye on me!" Na'er laughed through her tears, "Who knows, maybe one day, I really will be taken away!"

"Let me see who dares!" Jing Shaoyu said with great authority. Then, he took out a crystal-clear emerald seed from his pocket and held it up to Na'er's eyes, "This is for you."

Na'er tilted her head, puzzled, "Brother, what is this?"

"My heart," Jing Shaoyu said.

"Your heart?" Na'er couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're so funny. This is clearly a seed, how could it be your heart?"

Jing Shaoyu smiled brightly without saying a word, just holding up the emerald seed. A green light flickered from the seed, and under Na'er's astonished gaze, the emerald seed gradually grew larger, transforming into a vivid, beating heart!

The latest novel is first published on 69shu!

"Brother, you!" Na'er exclaimed in panic, grabbing Jing Shaoyu's arm with one hand while the other reached toward his chest. Only when she felt the strong, steady heartbeat beneath her palm did she finally let out a deep sigh of relief. "You scared me to death, Brother!"

"Haha," Jing Shaoyu laughed heartily. "I wasn't lying. This is indeed my heart, and now, I entrust it to you."

"What... what exactly is going on?" Na'er asked, still confused.

"This green heart is called the Heart of Eternity. It's my second heart. As long as it exists, I cannot die or be destroyed," Jing Shaoyu explained. "Now, I'm giving it to you for safekeeping."

Na'er was stunned. She understood the meaning of immortality better than anyone else. So, when she heard Jing Shaoyu wanted to entrust the Heart of Eternity to her, her first instinct was to refuse. Compared to her, Gu Yue was more suited to safeguard this heart for Jing Shaoyu.

But before Na'er could voice her thoughts, Jing Shaoyu had already taken her hand and placed the glowing green heart into her palm. "There can be many Martial Soul Fusion Skills, but my heart is only this one, Na'er. You must take good care of it."

Hearing his words, Na'er swallowed the protest on her lips. She met Jing Shaoyu's firm yet gentle gaze and nodded softly. "Brother, I will definitely keep it safe."

After saying this, Na'er began to unbutton her outer garment. Under Jing Shaoyu's puzzled gaze, she removed her undergarments, revealing her flawless body to him without hesitation. Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but stare in awe.

Her neck was as white as jade, her collarbone exquisitely sculpted, her shoulders as delicate as a painting, and her skin as translucent as snow. Every word used to describe a woman's beauty was embodied in her at that moment.

Though Na'er's chest couldn't compare to Mo Hentian's, it was still perfectly proportioned. Adding or subtracting even a fraction would have disrupted her overall beauty. Every part of Na'er's body was like a meticulously crafted piece of art. Individually, they might not be extraordinary, but together, they achieved unparalleled perfection.

"Na'er, what are you doing?" Jing Shaoyu asked, still confused.

Na'er simply flashed a radiant smile. Then, to Jing Shaoyu's astonishment, she pressed the Heart of Eternity against her own chest. In the next moment, the heart slowly began to merge into her body.

"Hehe, I've placed Brother's heart inside my own," Na'er said with a proud smile. "This way, my heart can protect Brother's heart!"

Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu felt a deep surge of emotion. He reached out and pulled Na'er into his arms, holding his beloved tightly.

"Ah! Brother, turn around quickly! Na'er needs to get dressed!"

The small boat drifted once more.
