Late at night.
Golden Crown sat cross-legged on the sofa.
He had finally finished refining the Power of Destruction.
"As expected of God-King level power, even if it's only one percent."
"It is still extremely difficult to refine."
He muttered to himself with a weary expression.
It was obvious.
Not only had he not fully refined this one percent of the Power of Destruction.
But his physical strength and spirit power were almost completely exhausted.
However, the originally violent Power of Destruction, suppressed by Xiaomi's Power of Light.
Had become extremely docile.
Stored temporarily in his Dantian, it wouldn't cause any major issues.
He could refine it slowly in the future.
"Hmm? Is it already dark?"
Looking at the dark night outside the window, Golden Crown felt a weight on his lap.
He looked down.
And found Ye Lingling curled up, sleeping on his lap.
Her face also showed signs of exhaustion.
While absorbing the Power of Destruction earlier, he had vaguely felt a vibrant life force.
Healing his wounds.
It must have been Ye Lingling's doing.
"This girl must have been worried sick."
"But sleeping like this, she's not afraid of catching a cold."
As he spoke, he gently picked Ye Lingling up in a princess carry.
And walked toward the large bed.
He had intended to tuck Ye Lingling into bed and then sleep on the sofa himself.
Unexpectedly.
Because absorbing the Power of Destruction had exhausted his spirit power and physical strength.
A powerful wave of dizziness flooded his brain.
His eyes closed, and he fell asleep on top of Ye Lingling.
Nothing more happened that night... The next day, it was already noon.
The sun was already high in the sky.
The streets had long since become noisy as merchants and travelers began their new day.
Rose Hotel.
Inside Room 308.
While Golden Crown was fast asleep, in a daze.
He felt like he was hugging something fragrant in his arms.
His hands also seemed to be clutching something soft.
Although he didn't know what it was.
But it felt very good to the touch.
Unable to resist, he unconsciously squeezed it a few times.
"Ying~"
A shy and soft female voice reached his ears.
Golden Crown opened his eyes with difficulty.
And saw Ye Lingling in his arms, her face already flushed red, her eyes fixed on him.
"Morning, Lingling."
After saying that, Golden Crown closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
He wondered who it was.
Oh, it's just Ye Lingling, then it's fine.
"..."
In an instant, time around them seemed to stand still.
Golden Crown, who was about to go back to sleep, felt more and more that something was wrong.
Hmm?
He was sleeping, so why was Ye Lingling in his arms?
And why was her face so red?
And that shy voice.
What was that about?
While thinking, he subconsciously squeezed the object in his hand again.
Immediately after.
Ye Lingling's voice rang out again.
"Ying~"
Suddenly, Golden Crown realized something.
If he was hugging Ye Lingling while sleeping, then what he was squeezing must be... He snapped his eyes open.
His brain instantly cleared up.
Compared to before.
Ye Lingling now looked exactly like a ripe apple.
Her gaze toward Golden Crown also carried a hint of reproach.
If the first time was an accident.
Then the second time was definitely intentional.
Golden Crown hurriedly withdrew his hand and smiled apologetically, "That... well, would you believe me if I said that was just an accident?"
Although he said that.
In his heart, he thought.
Mmm~ So supple!
Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Golden Crown.
As if she would believe him.
Yesterday, she had clearly fainted on his lap because of excessive spirit power consumption.
But when she woke up, she was on the bed.
And she was clinging to him like an octopus.
Pressed tightly against Golden Crown.
His hand was even placed on a certain spot.
Ye Lingling tidied her messy clothes.
She pointed at Golden Crown and said, "Go wash yourself first."
"Wash what?"
Golden Crown froze for a moment and looked down.
He found that the clothes he was wearing were already soaked with blood.
Looking again.
Because Ye Lingling had been pressed against him all night.
Her body was also stained with quite a bit of blood.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there so much blood on me?"
Golden Crown said, very puzzled.
Ye Lingling explained what happened yesterday.
Only then did Golden Crown realize.
It turned out that when he was absorbing the Power of Destruction.
The energy of the Power of Destruction was too violent and had directly torn many wounds into his body.
At the same time, Golden Crown also reflected deeply.
Before absorbing anything next time.
He must conduct a risk assessment.
Luckily, Xiaomi's Power of Light had suppressed the Power of Destruction this time.
Otherwise, he would have definitely exploded and died.
After seriously reflecting on his mistake, Golden Crown walked toward the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Ye Lingling threw away all the blood-stained bedding on the bed and called a waiter to replace it with a new set.
She also had the waiter buy and bring up a lot of food.
Ten minutes later.
After showering, Golden Crown took out a set of clothes from his System Space and put them on.
He walked out.
"Brother... Brother Mian, eat something first. I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, Ye Lingling entered the bathroom.
Golden Crown's stomach had long been growling.
Looking at the delicious food on the table.
He didn't bother thinking about anything else at the moment.
And began to feast heartily.
After a while.
Ye Lingling came out of the bathroom.
And had changed into a new set of clothes.
She sat across from Golden Crown.
And they enjoyed lunch together.
Perhaps because of what happened last night.
During the meal, Ye Lingling kept her head down, not daring to look at Golden Crown.
On the other hand, Golden Crown.
Was heartlessly eating meat buns.
With the replenishment of food, his body began to recover quickly.
After a long time.
Ye Lingling mustered her courage and looked at Golden Crown: "Last... night, besides sleeping, nothing else happened, right?"
"Aside from that accident this morning, there was nothing else," Golden Crown replied.
"Oh," Ye Lingling responded in a low voice.
At the same time, she felt a bit disappointed.
With such a good opportunity last night, how could nothing have happened?
Then, as if possessed, she asked a question: "How did it feel?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this morning, your hand..."
Ye Lingling's voice grew softer and softer.
She inwardly cursed herself for asking such a question.
"*Cough, cough, cough.*"
Golden Crown said without thinking, "Very supple!"
As soon as those two words were spoken.
Ye Lingling turned red from head to toe.
It seemed like steam was even rising from her head.
Immediately losing her appetite, she quickly stood up and went back to the bathroom.
As for Golden Crown.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all.
After filling his stomach.
He sat back down on the sofa.
He summoned his Martial Soul and inspected his condition.
Although he hadn't fully absorbed that one percent of the Power of Destruction.
He had still absorbed a small portion.
It should have brought about a significant improvement.
Just as he expected.
The small portion of the Power of Destruction he had absorbed really did bring him a significant boost...
