She didn't know why she had such a strong reaction to this man she had only known for a day.

I felt as if an electric current was passing through my hand as he held it.

After the two left, the shrine returned to its tranquility.

Seeing her daughters' hesitant expressions, Qianyang smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing."

Ye Chong bit his lip: "But Mom, he..."

"I know what you're worried about."

Qianyang walked to the cherry blossom tree and looked up at the petals falling from the sky.

“Ling Qing is indeed terrifyingly powerful, but he has no ill intentions towards me or you.”

"and…"

A blush rose to her cheeks.

"Being with him, for the first time, I felt truly alive."

Seeing the happy smile on their mother's face, the three sisters swallowed back the words of advice that were about to come out.

Perhaps, as her mother said, after experiencing the loneliness of death, she deserved this passionate love.

Ling Qing, this mysterious and powerful man, seems to be entering their lives in an unexpected way, changing everyone's fate.

There's nothing we can do if they don't accept it.

...

On the other side, Lingqing led Tsuruyama Bairi on a stroll along the shrine path.

The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the girl's white hair with a layer of gold.

She followed Ling Qing nervously, her eyes occasionally glancing at the man beside her.

"looking at what?"

Ling Qing suddenly stopped, and He Shan Bai Ri almost bumped into him.

She retreated in a panic, but Ling Qing reached out and grabbed her waist.

"No...nothing!"

He Shanbai's face flushed red, and he dared not meet his gaze.

Ling Qing chuckled softly, released her hand, but then took her fingertips in his.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here for you."

These words, like a pebble, stirred up a thousand ripples in the calm lake of Heshan's heart during the day.

Looking at their clasped hands, she suddenly felt that perhaps staying in this mysterious shrine wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Looking at the girl's shy expression, Ling Qing smiled with a determined look on his lips.

……

Cherry blossoms fluttered down along the winding path of the shrine, carpeting the ground with pink petals at their feet.

As Heshan Bai Ri gazed at Ling Qing's broad back, the sound of his heartbeat grew ever clearer in his ears.

The matter between Sister Wu and Ling Qing lingered in her mind.

She gripped her skirt tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, and finally mustered the courage to speak.

“Ling Qingjun…I want to ask about Sister Wu Zhou.”

Ling Qing paused, then slowly turned around.

Her iridescent pupils swirled in the twilight, reflecting the girl's flushed cheeks and awkward demeanor.

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips: "What do you want to ask?"

He Shan Bai Ri's throat moved slightly, his voice barely audible.

"Last night... I saw Sister Wu Zhou go into your room. Now... what is your relationship?"

She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ling Qing's expression.

"What answer do you want to hear?"

Ling Qing slowly approached, the sound of her shoes on the stone slabs striking Heshan Bai Ri's heart like drumbeats.

"Was it completely unrelated? A one-night stand? Or simply sexual intercourse?"

The last two words struck like a heavy hammer blow.

He Shan Bai Ri suddenly looked up, a hint of panic and resistance flashing in his eyes.

In that instant, an uncontrollable expectation welled up inside her—she hoped to hear "It's okay."

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she realized something was wrong with her, and her cheeks burned even hotter.

……

Ling Qing seemed to see through Heshan Bai Ri's thoughts, and with a sweep of his arm, he pulled the girl's soft body into his embrace.

Heshan Bai Ri bumped into a chest that smelled of cedar, and the warm touch from the tip of her nose made her body stiffen.

"Now, Wu Zhou and I are boyfriend and girlfriend."

His voice was deep, and his breath brushed against her ear.

"But that doesn't prevent us from having a somewhat special relationship."

Heshan Bai Ri stared wide-eyed, but before she could retort, Ling Qing's hand had already supported the back of her neck.

As Ling Qing bent down, cherry blossoms brushed against his black, tousled hair, fluttering between the two of them like a hazy curtain.

She could feel the other person's hot breath brushing against her, and instinctively clenched her fists. The stinging pain of her nails digging into her palms could not dispel the dizziness she felt at that moment.

"That's not right..."

She murmured to herself, but her voice was so weak that even she couldn't believe it.

Ling Qing's nose brushed against hers lightly, a seductive smile playing on her lips: "Then why didn't you move away?"

These words shattered my last shred of reason.

The moment Heshan Bai Ri closed his eyes, Ling Qing had already covered him.

Unlike the intense kiss she overheard last night, this one was gentle yet domineering, wantonly plundering every inch of sweetness.

Her hands had somehow come apart; one rested limply against Ling Qing's chest, while the other climbed uncontrollably up his neck.

"Da da…"

Footsteps approached from afar, but Ling Qing did not immediately release her.

He reluctantly left when Heshan was almost out of breath, his fingertips tracing her reddened lower lip.

"Bai Ri, this is the attitude I want to express to you."

He Shanbai's legs went weak and he could barely stand.

She watched Ling Qing turn and leave, raised her hand to touch her burning lips, and felt a buzzing in her ears.

She felt both ashamed and inexplicably excited about the intimate contact just now.

But reason kept reminding her—this man was mysterious.

And she was just one of those who were easily provoked by him.

...

the other side.

The inner sanctum of the shrine.

The three Gan sisters sat around Qianyang, watching their mother hum a song as she prepared the ingredients, their faces beaming with a happiness they had never felt before.

Ye Chong finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom, is Mr. Ling Qing really someone I can entrust my life to?"

Qianyang paused, looking tenderly at her daughter.

"I've lived for so many years and seen too many people and too many things."

She put the chopped vegetables into the pot, and as the steam rose, her eyes grew even gentler.

“Ling Qing may be terrifyingly powerful, and he may have many ties around him, but he is willing to break the boundaries of gods for me and is willing to protect you.”

Yuuna bit her lip: "But he's about the same age as us, so what should we call him from now on?"

Asahime nodded in agreement, her round eyes filled with confusion.

Qianyang couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to pinch Chaoji's cheek.

"Isn't it nice to have an older brother who will protect you?"

While talking.

Ling Qing led He Shan Bai Ri in.

The girl's lips were swollen and red, and her hair was disheveled; she was clearly still reeling from the kiss.

The three Gan sisters exchanged a glance.

Ye Zhong keenly noticed the evasive look in He Shan Bai Ri's eyes when he looked at Ling Qing Shi.

"Chiyo, the repair team that Kaguya arranged will arrive tomorrow."

Ling Qing walked to Qian Yang's side and naturally took the spatula from her hand.

"You go and rest, I'll do it."

Qianyang's cheeks flushed slightly as she watched him skillfully stir-fry the food.

She used to guard the shrine alone, working tirelessly day and night, but now someone is willing to share everything with her.

This feeling of being cherished made her willingly succumb to the web of love woven by Ling Qing.

...

During dinner.

Sister Xiaolu Wuzhou was also picked up by Ling Qing.

Her slightly trembling legs as she walked and the faint red marks on her neck instantly reminded Heshan Bai Ri of the sounds from the previous night, and his face turned bright red again.

When Wu Zhou and Ling Qing looked at each other, a hint of shyness and longing flashed in their eyes.

This caused a strange bittersweet feeling to rise in Heshan Bai Ri's heart.

After the introduction, everyone had a better understanding of the situation.

The long-awaited liveliness at Ama Shrine.

After meal.

Tsuruyama Hirahi pulled Rei Ao to a corner of the shrine.

The moonlight shone on the two of them...

Looking at Ling Qing's sharply defined profile, He Shan Bai Ri mustered up his courage and asked.

"How many more people like me and Sister Wu Zhou do you have?"

During the meal, she noticed that Ling Qing and the mother named Gan Shen Qianyang were exchanging glances that seemed off.

Ling Qing looked down at her, her smile deepening.

"Is it important?"

He pinned the girl against the cherry blossom tree, his lips almost touching hers.
