章節 24: 'Eternal bond of flame'

Ji Rongmei's heart raced with panic when she watched the white flame focus its attention on Xiao Chen.

Despite her desire to intervene and assist him, she found herself powerless in her soul form.

Her current strength was insufficient to aid Xiao Chen while dealing with the flame simultaneously.

Ji Rongmei experienced a profound sense of anguish witnessing his suffering. The mere thought of losing Xiao Chen intensified her distress, adding to the turmoil in her heart.

Just as Ji Rongmei felt helpless in the face of Xiao Chen's predicament, the 'Infernal Flame of Sacred Lotus,' which had safeguarded her throughout her life during moments of peril, began to pulse with renewed vigor.

This innate flame, nestled within her heart, mirrored her escalating anxiety with its accelerated rhythm.

In a remarkable turn of events, a beam of light emanated from Ji Rongmei's heart, triggering a cascade of memories flooding her consciousness.

It was an unprecedented experience for her to receive such an inheritance from her bloodline.

As she delved into the memories unveiled by the sacred flame, Ji Rongmei found herself stunned by their revelation.

The memories depicted a ceremonial ritual known as the 'Eternal Bond of Sacred Flame,' a sacred union akin to a marriage ceremony.

As Ji Rongmei's eyes scanned the memories unfolding before her, her complexion flushed a deep crimson at the sight of the word 'marriage.'

The revelation sent shockwaves through her being, leaving her reeling in disbelief.

Furthermore, she was astounded to learn that individuals of her bloodline were fated to have their Infernal Flame of Sacred Lotus pulsate solely for their chosen companion, binding them for a lifetime.

This discovery stirred a whirlwind of emotions within her heart as she looked at Xiao Chen with newfound affection.

Unbeknownst to them, the revelation of this sacred bond and the innate significance of the Infernal Flame of Sacred Lotus had never surfaced in the original plotline.

Additionally, Ji Rongmei's failure to fully awaken the potent abilities latent within her bloodline in the plot hinders her from accessing the accumulated inheritance contained within her lineage.

As Ji Rongmei's primary concern lay with aiding Xiao Chen, she wasted no time in springing into action.

With a blush tinting her cheeks a rosy hue, she hurried to Xiao Chen's side, her heart pounding with urgency.

With trembling hands, Ji Rongmei gently pressed Xiao Chen against her chest, where the Infernal Flame of Sacred Lotus resided.

With Determination etched into her features, she began to recite the sacred vow of the Eternal Bond of Flame, her voice unwavering despite the flutter of emotions within her.

Xiao Chen was caught off guard by Rongmei's unexpected actions as it wasn't what he had expected.

As he nestled against the comforting softness of Ji Rongmei's ample bosom, he was welcomed with a system prompt in his mind.

[Ding* It is detected that Ji Rongmei's favorability towards the host has reached 60, indicating love.]

[Ding* It is detected that Ji Rongmei's favorability, the future companion of the son of destiny, has crossed a significant line and plundered 300 destiny value.]

[Ding* Host, Ji Rongmei has requested to initiate the 'Eternal Bond of Flame,' which is a marriage ceremony considered sacred in her bloodline.]

[Ding* Related information about The Eternal Bond of Flame has been sent to the host and automatically deducted 100 Destiny value.]

[Ding* Does the host wish to accept the ceremony?]

[Yes]

As Xiao Chen absorbed the flood of memories triggered by the system prompts, he felt a mix of emotions coursing through him.

After regaining his composure, he couldn't shake off the annoyance creeping in.

How could he have been unaware of Ji Rongmei's intricate bloodline when he used the 'Plot Viewing Ticket'?

Ji Rongmei's bloodline appeared to be anything but ordinary, especially since it had singled him out instead of Ye Fan, as per the original plot line.

Pondering over this, he fixed the system with a sharp gaze, demanding answers this time.

"System, why does this timeline keep deviating, and does the destiny value hold any actual significance?" he questioned, his tone laced with scrutiny.

The system remained silent for a beat, causing a tense pause before responding.

"[Ding* Host, the destiny value indeed serves another purpose, you get to know of it as you grow stronger.

[Ding* Host, as for the first question, in this timeline, the biggest variable... is you... Host]"

The system muttered cryptically, its panel reflecting a hint of its voice breaking.

Hearing the system's cryptic response, Xiao Chen was momentarily stunned, sensing the weight of the information and the strain it seemed to put on the system.

Deciding to set aside these thoughts for now, not out of ignorance, but rather a desire to address them when he was more certain, Xiao Chen focused on the task at hand.

He understood that instead of seeking answers from others, he needed to find them himself, relying on his growing strength and understanding.

As their conversation concluded, Xiao chen soul exited his bodies—a unique aspect of the 'Eternal Bond of Flame' ceremony.

Hovering in midair above the white platform, Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei embraced each other, facing one another.

Ji Rongmei felt flustered and internally conflicted, knowing that she had to kiss Xiao Chen to initiate the ceremony.

Observing the subtle changes in Rongmei's expression, Xiao Chen found amusement in her blend of naivety and maturity, deciding to take the lead.

Sensing Ji Rongmei's hesitation, he drew closer to her, his gaze meeting hers with a hint of mischief.

Without further ado, Xiao Chen enveloped Ji Rongmei in a tighter embrace, savoring the curves of her magnificent figure, before pressing his lips against hers in a passionate kiss.

As their kiss deepened, a sacred golden flame erupted from Ji Rongmei's heart, causing the white flame to quiver in fear in the face of this newfound power.

The two flames appeared to engage in a silent dialogue.

After a brief exchange, the white flame relented, surrounding Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei in its ethereal embrace.

Following suit, the infernal flame of the sacred lotus did the same.

It started merging with the white flame to form a translucent sphere of fiery energy containing Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei within.

At that moment, Xiao Chen's innate Demonic and Divine Immortal physique unexpectedly radiated a brilliant white light, signaling the beginning of a profound transformation.

A day later, the light subsided, and Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei were left in awe of their altered appearances.

Xiao Chen's once-black hair now gleamed with a radiant white hue, while his pupils seemed to shimmer with a golden light.

Similarly, Ji Rongmei's fiery red hairs had transformed into a snowy white shade, marking the culmination of their union.

Xiao Chen and Ji Rongmei stood in silent acceptance of the extraordinary transformation bestowed upon their physiques, their otherworldly appearance a testament to the merging of the two flames.

Despite recognizing the opportunity, Xiao Chen refrained from subduing Rongmei for several reasons.

Firstly, Ji Rongmei lacked her physical body, and attempting to subdue her in this form would not yield the maximum benefits for either of them.

Secondly, their relationship had developed at an accelerated pace, akin to that of Tang Jingxue, and Xiao Chen preferred to cultivate their bond gradually.

especially considering Rongmei would remain with him following Ye Fan's demise

Lastly, there was Rongmei's quest for revenge.

Though Xiao Chen could not assist her presently, he harbored plans for every eventuality, a hidden truth lurking within the plot.

As Xiao Chen could perceive Ji Rongmei's emotions through their merged physiques, he made a mental note to subdue Rongmei at a later time, when the conditions were more favorable.

Similarly, Rongmei could sense Xiao Chen's emotions following their marriage ceremony.

Even if he couldn't read his mind, she could discern his vague emotions, sensing his disappointment, consideration, and anticipation.

Rongmei felt a sweet warmth in her heart, she wouldn't resist if he had insisted on fucking her.

However, alongside this sweetness, she also felt a twinge of guilt weighing on her conscience.

Especially when she felt Xiao Chen's throbbing member continue to press against her abdomen.

The sensation was both uncomfortable and arousing at the same time, causing her heartbeat to race faster and her cheeks to flush with heat.

She could feel his warmth seeping through her clothes, making her even more aware of how intimate their position was.

Deciding that she couldn't disappoint Xiao Chen further, Rongmei gently but firmly, grasped his erect member which didn't his jade hand, feeling its heat and pulsing veins beneath her fingers

Her touch was tentative at first, almost hesitant, but gradually grew bolder as she began to stroke him.

Xiao Chen was lost in thought and felt his throbbing cock being grabbed. He immediately focused his eyes on Rongmei who looked at him with spring eyes
