"You want to use this? Well, it takes one hour to purify the same amount of spiritual energy you used before," Ye Jingyi said, settling beside her and informing her of the purification process's duration.
"One hour? I can wait," Hui Ying nodded, acknowledging the limitation but finding it reasonable considering the artifact's power.
"So, what will you do until then?" Ye Jingyi blinked his eyes inquisitively, his hands moving towards her.
"Me? I will probably rest... Um? What are you doing?" Hui Ying's cheeks flushed as she felt a hand wrap around her waist.
"Nothing, I just want to talk to you," Ye Jingyi pulled her into his arms, a smile playing on his lips.
Hui Ying gritted her teeth, her eyes widening in surprise. "Talk? Like this?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Ye Jingyi moved closer, his tone laced with a hint of dominance.
"Yes, I do have some... umm..." Hui Ying's words were cut short as Ye Jingyi sealed her mouth with his own.
