Chapter 54: It was a bit too intense. …

In a brief moment, it was as if all senses were magnified a thousand times over. The sensation in every cell of his body drilled distinctly into the depths of his mind, as if his entire body had been completely set ablaze.

Yan Xingzhou wanted to try to push Lin Xi away, but it was obviously futile. It was as if he was completely immersed in a continuous burning, letting countless desires spread from his nerve endings, directly assaulting his mind. Everything before his eyes began to blur. The familiar scent on his breath became cloying and full of craving, causing countless impulses to clamor even more severely. In a trance, a fragment that had appeared in his dreams on countless nights suddenly surfaced in his mind—the Union’s encirclement, the out-of-control rampage, the resolute figure who chose to self-destruct with a radiant smile amidst the blazing fire…

The moment he threw himself into the sea of fire back then, was he also burning all over like this?

Once his thoughts began to stray, the emotions that had been suppressed deep within his heart for years instantly roared out uncontrollably.

As countless uncontrolled ability fluctuations radiated from his body, the surrounding water surface began to boil. The moment it exploded, countless scenes materialized in his mind. The thin film that had been silently surging underfoot completely tore apart. Like a mirage appearing out of nowhere in a barren land, with the heavens and earth collapsing, layers of scenes rose from the ground, as if a whole new world was being born.

The ground suddenly rising under his feet nearly made Lin Xi lose his balance. His expression changed abruptly at the sight of the world being reconstructed around him. He forcefully supported the teetering Yan Xingzhou, who was in a state of chaos, his face finally completely devoid of any smile. “What on earth did that thing do to him?”

A rather innocent voice sounded in his mind: [I just reminded you not to mess with these siren folks, but you just wouldn’t listen. These guys are used to using dirty tricks. Now you’ve fallen for it.]

Lin Xi impatiently cut off the usual rambling: “Answer my question.”

Calamity cleared its throat softly: [Why are you so fierce? I was just about to tell you. The siren race is naturally skilled at bewitching people’s hearts. This water, that water, in the end, it’s all about stimulating the most instinctive desires in a living being. This charm water, as the name implies, is for matters of love and passion. Get it?]

Lin Xi: “The solution.”

[The solution is, there’s no need for one.]
[All of the siren race’s abilities are time-limited. All you have to do is endure until the time is up. If you can’t endure it, then—originally, this water shouldn’t have been too strong in theory, but seeing how this President Yan is head over heels in love with you, it’s probably going to be a bit rough.]
[Uh… what I mean is, in short, just one word: make him endure!]

Lin Xi’s tone was icy and flat: “Or, you could also consider trying… to… endure… it… yourself.”

A brief, dead silence fell in his mind. Two seconds later, the voice weakly sounded again: [The singing. Don’t listen to the siren’s tone-deaf singing. It should make it a little better for the person who’s been hit.]

The moment the words fell, a monstrous flame gathered around Lin Xi.

The golden pupils in his heterochromatic eyes gradually condensed into a striking scarlet, the same color as the surrounding flames, making his face look even more bewitchingly beautiful.

As countless black thorn patterns climbed up his neck as if they were alive, the surging flames around him, like a fire-bathed dragon, shot straight towards the siren.

[Are you crazy? Your ability intensity has just recovered and you’re already messing around like this. You might as well just let me out…]

Boom—!

A huge water shield, whipped up under its control, disintegrated in an instant under the impact of the fire dragon. A massive explosion completely swallowed the latter half of the sentence, and along with it, the incessant singing was cut off.

“If there’s a problem with the body, you can just repair it again.” The wandering black thorns continued to delve deeper into his body as if they were alive, yet Lin Xi seemed to feel no pain at all. He calmly watched the siren’s perch, which had been completely submerged in a sea of fire, the flames in his eyes reflecting and complementing his pupil color. “To me now, you’re just as much of a hindrance as that siren. Don’t even talk about letting you out, the mere fact of your ‘existence’ is already…”

[Don’t say it, don’t say it! This time you don’t even have to do it, I’ll knock myself out, alright!]
[Tch, as if anyone’s eager to watch. contaminants are afraid of getting eye infections too, okay!]

As the voice faded, it was as if something had collided violently in the unseen space. In an instant, Lin Xi felt his mind become completely quiet.

The water world, now completely a sea of fire, finally left the siren with no time to sing. He looked down at the flickering flame in his palm, which was pulsating due to the overuse of his ability, and let out a sneer of unknown meaning. After dispersing his ability, he cupped Yan Xingzhou’s chin with one hand, lifted it, and kissed him deeply.

The surrounding scenes evolved in a constant cycle of materialization and collapse. The uncontrollably escaping ability plunged the entire inner world into Yan Xingzhou’s chaos. The repeatedly changing scenes, every single one, was so familiar to Lin Xi. And because of this, with every change, the color of his eyes grew a few shades darker.

Ever since they were at the villa, he could already feel that Yan Xingzhou’s ability fluctuations were very dangerous. But he never thought that it would be in such a precarious state, on the verge of completely collapsing at any moment.

If it were in the past, this level of “charm water” would never have made him lose control to this extent. But now—in these short three years, to what extent had this bastard pushed himself?!

Their deep breaths gradually mingled, like Lin Xi’s fierce venting, and also like using this to establish a connection with Yan Xingzhou. He kissed him frequently and continuously, his fingers embedded in his hair, also providing the gentlest of reassurances.

His breathing grew hotter and hotter. Gradually, Yan Xingzhou’s responses also became more frequent.

He seemed to have caught the only ray of light in a sea of chaos. Almost subconsciously, he hugged Lin Xi fiercely. The surrounding, coiling ability tentacles silently converged around them, forming a barrier to isolate them from the outside world, like a separately enclosed territory.

“Yan Xingzhou, Yan… Xingzhou, you can hear me, right?” Lin Xi’s chest also began to heave noticeably. The forced burst of his ability caused his contamination value to skyrocket uncontrollably, making him extremely sensitive to the ability fluctuations around him. He felt Yan Xingzhou’s response and tried hard to make his fragmented words sound complete. “You… look at me, listen to me… I’m here. We… what we need most now… is to be calm… calm down a little, Yan Xingzhou.”

Strictly speaking, Lin Xi’s own state at the moment could not be called calm at all.

At this moment, he somewhat understood the greed displayed by those contaminants. Whether it was the scent of a human or the energy fluctuations of an ability user, it was simply too tempting for this body that had been completely transformed into a contaminant. He couldn’t wait to demand more at this moment, but it was obviously not appropriate now.

Fortunately, this appeasement seemed to have some effect. Yan Xingzhou’s still-empty eyes stared at him fixedly, as if he had made a judgment with great difficulty: “Lin… Xi?”

“It’s me, I’m here.” Lin Xi could feel the overlapping materialized world around them pause for a moment. He continued to kiss him, his hand sliding down from his hair to caress Yan Xingzhou’s jaw, trying hard to keep his voice, which was tensed to its limit, from trembling. “I’m here, so you don’t need to think about the past. Look at me, just think about me.”

“Just think about you…” Yan Xingzhou felt the intimate comfort. The chaotic memories in his mind were like countless intersecting lines. With the past, present, and future in a mess, his completely blocked mind made it almost impossible for him to think. He just repeated subconsciously. As his most primal instincts surged, under the dry, restless burning sensation, he leaned forward almost greedily, turning the tables and at one point wanting to completely possess Lin Xi.

“Mmph—!” Lin Xi’s sanity was already at its breaking point. The sudden, passionate kiss threw his breathing rhythm into complete disarray.

It was a bit too intense.

Although it wasn’t the first time he had been intimate with Yan Xingzhou, even when this man was at his most excited, he could still maintain a consistent, methodical rhythm. Lin Xi had never thought that when a person like Yan Xingzhou completely cast aside reason, he could actually have such an overwhelming side.

He was clearly trying to wake Yan Xingzhou, but in a moment, Lin Xi was almost utterly defeated by the intense, captivating ability fluctuations around him.

His scarlet vertical pupils had narrowed into a slit. He struggled to control the urge to completely push down the man before him. While responding, he said intermittently, “Yan Xingzhou, you… weren’t you just worried I’d be in danger… If you keep this up… mmph, I’m afraid we’ll really be in danger…”

It’s unknown whether he understood the meaning of the words, or if the continuous response finally brought back a trace of Yan Xingzhou’s instincts. With their bodies pressed together, he could feel the presence below, swollen to its limit. The unbearable desire was almost too much to bear. But as he buried his face in Lin Xi’s neck, greedily inhaling the familiar scent, he could clearly feel the entire process of himself gradually calming down.

In this momentary lapse, the chaotic materialized world around them also collapsed with a roar.

Under their feet, the huge structure that had lifted them up fell away, followed by a feeling of weightlessness in the air.

The thin film that had been floating under the surface had been completely torn apart. The two figures, embracing each other, fell heavily into the water.

The coolness of the water instantly swept over their entire bodies.

In the suddenly silent environment, they continued to fall.
