Chapter 1967 - 1963: The Chosen One
Lan Jing never saw herself as Ye Fan’s woman before, but she had a deep affection for Ye Fan. She understood Ye Fan’s sincerity and was eager to experience the feeling of being a human.
Now she knows she is destined to be the ruler of Tai Ning, only a step away from becoming Ye Fan’s woman. Therefore, she chose to become Ye Fan’s woman without hesitation and without any regrets. In her gaze toward Ye Fan, there was an undeniable sincerity, which made Ye Fan realize that he perhaps shouldn’t reject the girl in front of him.
"But..." Ye Fan hesitated slightly and said, "Do you understand the consequences of this decision? Perhaps... you still don’t fully understand human emotions. I think it’s inappropriate to have you this way."
Lan Jing walked up to Ye Fan, lifted her head, and gazed at Ye Fan with eyes filled with an almost obsessive longing. Then she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Ye Fan on the lips, asking, "Is it like this?"
In this moment, Ye Fan couldn’t find words to describe it, nor could he refuse such a pure and kind-hearted girl in front of him. Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he had no reason to turn down Lan Jing now that she had made up her mind.
Ye Fan lifted Lan Jing and walked into the room. In his arms, Lan Jing seemed like a little kitten. She neither resisted nor knew how to respond to Ye Fan. She simply let Ye Fan take the lead while she remained motionless like a woman in his embrace.
After carrying Lan Jing into the room, Ye Fan placed her on the table. Sitting there, Lan Jing looked up at Ye Fan, not knowing what he intended to do.
"Lan Jing, I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to accept me?" Ye Fan asked sincerely.
Lan Jing replied, "Ye Fan, I’m very sure of my feelings for you. I really like you, so I’m willing to accept you. From now on, I am your woman."
This answer was so resolute that Ye Fan had no reason to refuse. As he embraced Lan Jing again, they kissed, their lips meeting in perfect harmony.
It felt like an endless merging of heaven and earth, with both of them immersed in the moment. However, Lan Jing was not familiar with many things, leaving Ye Fan to guide her; Ye Fan, being no novice, possessed understanding beyond Lan Jing’s naive comprehension.
Lan Jing, too, was a quick learner. Though she appeared pure, she was no longer young, having spent endless years living in the undersea world without companionship. Encountering a man as genuine and sincere as Ye Fan, she couldn’t help but fall in love with him, only realizing it now in her heart.
Lan Jing was gentle and considerate, like a woman who understood men well. She began to tenderly care for Ye Fan, quickly learning everything Ye Fan said, gradually allowing him to adapt.
She also cared greatly about Ye Fan’s feelings, constantly asking, "Is this right?"
Every time she received an affirmative response from Ye Fan, it filled her with happiness. She appeared as cheerful as an innocent child, oblivious to anything outside the room as if her world was only herself and Ye Fan.
When they finally reached a complete connection, Lan Jing would feel shy. By then, she had fully handed over leadership to Ye Fan, allowing him to take control, and Ye Fan did not indulge in pleasure. His aim was to help Lan Jing quickly adapt to being his woman through a harmonious relationship.
Lan Jing needed to accept Tai Ning as her master, but it lacked Ye Fan’s response. Thus, Ye Fan needed to render this response upon Lan Jing.
The room’s temperature was rising, not only from their body heat but also due to the changes brought by Tai Ning. Tai Ning seemed to sense this transformation as the temperature peaked when Ye Fan fully possessed Lan Jing. Subsequently, it continued to spread, enveloping the entire room in a white glow.
"Ye Fan, I love you," Lan Jing, though somewhat dazed, responded to Ye Fan passionately.
Ye Fan didn’t know how to describe the feeling at the moment. He knew what he wanted: to fully have this clever and lovely girl in front of him, while also letting her shoulder many responsibilities. Ye Fan felt somewhat guilty, as he was aware he was exploiting the girl in front of him.
But he also understood that everything seemed to be the doing of destiny.
Finally, they reached a pinnacle of union, with Lan Jing seeming momentarily lost in thought. When they finally calmed down, Tai Ning faintly emitted a red glow, waiting for Lan Jing to completely claim it.
"It seems... it is ready," Lan Jing suddenly said.
Ye Fan came to, looking at Lan Jing and said, "Then try to let this weapon recognize you as its master again."
"Hm." Lan Jing cautiously held Tai Ning in her hand. Though Tai Ning was initially reluctant to be controlled by Lan Jing, it promptly emitted a red light, followed by a pinkish glow, and then became still. The weapon now seemed infused with Lan Jing’s bloodline control.
Lan Jing officially became the master of Tai Ning, all of which happened quite abruptly, catching Lan Jing off guard.
"It seems... it worked?" Lan Jing tentatively asked.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "I suppose so. The weapon is now entirely yours."
"Mm-hmm." Lan Jing appeared joyful, possessing this weapon meant she could protect herself, let Ye Fan protect her, and help safeguard the world as Ye Fan’s woman, with Tai Ning as her weapon.
She was as happy as a child receiving a wonderful toy. Just then, Li Zhaojun’s voice came from the door, "Ye Fan, Miss Lan Jing, have you completed everything? I seemed to have felt a gentle force."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Zhao Jun, you arrived just in time, but aren’t you afraid of interrupting our good time?"
Saying so, Ye Fan formed clothes from light, wrapping both him and Lan Jing, instantly returning them to their initial state when they arrived. He then opened the door, where Li Zhaojun stood at the entrance, along with Min Shang, who remained upstairs but did not come down.
Li Zhaojun walked in, seeing Lan Jing holding Tai Ning, which had completely accepted her. She happily said, "Who would have thought the chosen one Ye Fan had been searching for was Miss Lan Jing? It’s quite fortuitous, how did we not realize it before?"
