...On the edge of a cliff on a scenic island.
Xuan Ming gave Qian Renxue a gentle hug, watching as this Angel God King, who had played the role of a "little wife" in the Mortal Realm for a year, transformed into golden light and reluctantly returned to the God Realm.
"Next... who is it?"
Xuan Ming rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Although this year of living like an "immortal couple" was pleasant, it was indeed physically demanding. In the last few days, Qian Renxue acted as if she wanted to get her money's worth, nearly sucking him dry.
Just then, two streaks of light descended from the sky.
One was icy blue, the other deep purple.
The light dissipated, revealing two figures with graceful silhouettes.
The one on the left wore a magnificent icy blue gown with a cold and noble temperament; it was the Ice Dragon King. The one on the right was dressed in a purple-black tight leather suit, with a figure so explosive it could cause nosebleeds—the Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi Ji.
However, the current Zi Ji's eyes had long lost the ferocity and restraint of the past, instead showing an indescribable... lack of seriousness.
As soon as she landed, she threw a flirtatious wink at Xuan Ming. Her demeanor had been completely led astray by that "veteran driver," the Ice Dragon King.
"Oh, isn't this our God King, Your Majesty?"
The Ice Dragon King stepped forward with an elegant cat-walk, looking Xuan Ming up and down. "Seeing your glowing face, it seems Qian Renxue served you quite well?"
Xuan Ming sighed helplessly: "Why did you two come down? Whose turn is it this time?"
He looked at Zi Ji, then at the Ice Dragon King, somewhat puzzled. "Zi Ji is one thing, but Sister Bing, why are you joining the fun? Isn't the God Realm busy?"
"Busy, of course we're busy."
The Ice Dragon King said righteously, "But no matter how busy we are, we can't delay proper business."
"Proper business?" Xuan Ming was stunned. "What proper business?"
The Ice Dragon King smiled, a smile full of charm. She took a step forward, her entire body almost pressed against Xuan Ming's, her breath like orchids:
"Naturally, it's to... attend to your bed."
"???" Xuan Ming looked completely dazed.
"Sister Bing, you practically watched me grow up. In my heart, you're my elder sister, an elder. For this kind of thing... you shouldn't join in the fun with those young girls, right?"
However, hearing this, the Ice Dragon King's expression instantly became very serious.
"Fun?"
She gave a cold laugh and pointed to her face, which, reshaped by Dragon God Power, looked even smoother and more tender than a young girl's. "Xuan Ming, open your eyes and look. Where do I look old now?"
"Furthermore..."
The Ice Dragon King took another step forward, forcing Xuan Ming to retreat until he had nowhere to go, pinning him directly against a giant rock on the cliff's edge.
"You want to talk to me about elders? About ethics?"
"Then let me ask you, who is Qian Renxue?"
"They've both taken turns, so why can't I do it?"
In the Ice Dragon King's icy blue vertical pupils, an unmasked flame of desire burned. "Don't you know that I've been craving your body... for a very long time?"
"Before, I saw that your heap of relationships was a mess and you were already overwhelmed, so I didn't get involved."
"But now, even that girl Qian Renxue, whom you watched grow up, can get into your bed. Why can't I?"
The Ice Dragon King reached out a finger and tilted Xuan Ming's chin, her tone domineering and direct.
"Xuan Ming, don't think I'm joking."
"Back when you were still a child, I was inside your body. I watched you grow step by step, watched you risk your Life to protect those you cared about, and watched you transform from a weak Mortal into the Supreme God you are today."
"That kind of admiration, that kind of reliance, has long been carved into my bones."
"Before, you were under a lot of pressure, had too much to do, and had that tangled mess of relationships. I didn't want to add more pressure to you."
"But now..."
The Ice Dragon King's finger lightly brushed across Xuan Ming's Adam's apple, her voice becoming husky. "The God Realm has become so open now; everyone is taking turns coming down to accompany you. If I still keep up this so-called 'elder sister' act, then I'd be the world's biggest fool."
"I don't care what you think."
"Anyway, since I've come down this time, I don't plan on going back 'pure'."
Xuan Ming looked at the Ice Dragon King close at hand. His reflection was mirrored in those icy blue vertical pupils, carrying a persistence and clarity he had never seen before.
He sighed, his body relaxing slightly as he stopped trying to use divine force to resist, but his brow remained furrowed.
"Sister Bing, since you know what kind of person I am, you should understand that some hurdles are truly difficult for me to cross."
"We are too familiar with each other. So familiar that I feel you know me even better than I know myself. In my subconscious, you are that big sister who has always protected me, the guide who watched me grow up. This relationship... is too pure, so pure that I feel once it's mixed with that kind of... desire, it becomes a desecration."
"Desecration?"
The Ice Dragon King acted as if she had heard a huge joke. She released her hand from beside Xuan Ming, took half a step back, and crossed her arms, her eyes full of the sense of 'hating that iron couldn't become steel'.
"Xuan Ming, you guy, sometimes you really are an oblivious idiot."
"You think I don't know what you're thinking? You think it's desecration? No, you're just afraid."
"You're afraid that once that layer of window paper is poked through, you'll no longer be able to enjoy my care with a clear conscience like before; you'll have to include me in that heavy circle of responsibility of yours."
The Ice Dragon King stepped forward, her gaze burning.
"You, as a person, look cold and aloof and act like you don't want to manage things, but in your bones, you're a traditional, rigid man with a sense of responsibility that's heavy to the point of being abnormal."
"As long as you have that kind of relationship with someone, you'll treat them as a part of your Life. You'll risk your Life for them, compromise for them, and shoulder all the burdens for them."
"Look at Bibi Dong."
The Ice Dragon King pointed toward the God Realm. "Why has she been working her Life away for the past twenty-odd years? Why does she manage the God Realm so orderly, even taking care of so many Mortal Realm planes? Is it for power? No, it's so you have less to worry about!"
"She knows your temper. If you woke up and saw the God Realm in a mess or the Mortal Realm in misery, even if you grumbled and cursed, you'd definitely end up personally stepping in to clean up the mess and tire yourself half to death."
"That's why she took up the mantle. She turned herself into the busiest person just so you could be like you are now—a hands-off boss enjoying Life."
Xuan Ming fell silent.
He had to admit, the Ice Dragon King was right.
Bibi Dong understood him, Gu Yuena understood him, and the Ice Dragon King before him understood him even more.
"Gu Yuena is the same."
The Ice Dragon King continued, "Why is she in such a hurry to create a new Dragon Clan? Why is she working so hard on construction across various planets? It's also because she knows that if she doesn't do it, you'll feel you've failed her, and you'll take the responsibility of reviving the Dragon Clan upon yourself."
"They are all using their own ways to push you out of that quagmire called responsibility."
