Ji Lin struggled to drag herself back to her room.
The moment she stepped inside, her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.
This beautiful, untouched wife, with her long, smooth, jade-like legs, was completely drained of strength. Once she fell, she couldn't stand back up.
Her feminine pride and years of refined upbringing prevented her from lying undignified on the floor. Gritting her teeth, she crawled toward the bed.
The wooden floor bore faint traces of sweat along the path she dragged herself across.
That short distance from the door to the bed felt like an impossible journey.
But her willpower was formidable—she finally made it, curling up on the bed.
And then, she endured wave after wave of... torment.
At first, she could bear it.
This level of "pain" was nothing compared to the erosion of Honkai energy.
But when the clock struck 11:30, with only half an hour left in the week, what had been like "gentle tides under the moonlight" suddenly transformed into a raging tsunami.
Wave after wave, twice every minute, the overwhelming surges crashed into Ji Lin without respite.
Her body convulsed as if electrocuted, thrashing and writhing on the bed like a snake dosed with realgar wine.
The bedframe creaked violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Her restrained breaths could no longer suppress the sounds escaping her lips—piercing, agonized moans echoed through the entire loft...
...
...
"Wormy, you've hit zero. No, actually, you owe me three more."
"You cheated!"
Kiana, now fully refreshed, shouted indignantly. She refused to accept this.
"How did I cheat? I didn't even use any status effects on you."
"I—"
Kiana was momentarily speechless.
If she really thought about it, Ye Feng technically hadn't cheated.
He had just... stretched half an hour into three days and three nights.
For Kiana, it felt like three days and three nights—if she had stubbornly refused to let the count decrease, it would've lasted even longer, until the number finally hit zero—but in reality, neither Ye Feng's world nor hers had actually moved past a week.
Three days and three nights of non-stop battle.
Kiana couldn't help but recall her childhood, when she trained relentlessly to prepare for fighting Honkai beasts. But even that was nothing compared to today's ordeal.
The worst part? At one point, Kiana felt like she couldn't take it anymore. She begged Ye Feng to restore her body—otherwise, she would have died!
But Ye Feng flat-out refused, saying he couldn't break his promise. He forced her to endure it all.
And that bastard even smirked and said, "I preferred your earlier, more rebellious attitude."
Remembering how pathetic she had been during those "three days," Kiana clenched her fists in fury.
How could I have cried?!
No—that wasn't crying!
It was just a stress reaction!
Like tear gas!
Honestly, Kiana's memories of those "three days" were hazy at best.
At first, she could still think straight. But after 30 hours, she had no idea what was happening anymore, completely at Ye Feng's mercy.
And during that time, she had glimpsed just a fraction of Ye Feng's terrifying power.
But none of that mattered.
She still refused to accept defeat!
She had been so close to winning!
And then he pulled out this kind of broken ability?!
If he couldn't buff her, he just adjusted the world itself instead?!
What kind of administrator abuses their power like this?!
"Anyway, Wormy, you lost."
"I told you not to call me Wormy!"
Unable to find any other flaws in his logic, Kiana latched onto the nickname instead.
"Heh. The loser has to accept their punishment, you know."
"..."
Kiana's expression froze.
Then she lifted her chin, putting on a look of grim determination.
"Fine, whatever! Do whatever you want!"
After surviving those three days, Kiana felt invincible.
No matter what kind of perverted demand Ye Feng came up with, she was sure she could handle it.
"Call me darling."
"...Huh?"
Kiana blinked, staring at him in disbelief. "That's it?"
She had been ready to die, and all he wanted was for her to say one word?
She'd called him that before anyway!
"Did Wormy want something more?"
"Nope! Not at all!"
Kiana immediately brightened, hopping up from the bed. "Darling~."
...
...
Ye Feng arrived at Ji Lin's residence.
The place was practically flooded.
The room was in complete disarray—torn curtains, shredded bedsheets, and a wrecked mattress.
Ji Lin lay weakly amidst the chaos, her fair legs exposed, her eyes vacant like a shattered porcelain doll.
Shared senses.
Kiana had taken three days and three nights to use up 66 rounds—no, 69, thanks to the extra three—but for Ji Lin, it had all been compressed into half an hour.
An ordinary person—no, even a Valkyrie—would've had their mind completely broken by that.
But Ye Feng had been monitoring Ji Lin's "status" the entire time. He wouldn't actually break her.
Still, her resilience was impressive. As expected of a warrior who fought Chiyou in the Nine Hells for a thousand years.
"...M-Master... what... did you... do to me...?"
Ji Lin's voice was hoarse.
And no matter how she tried, she couldn't refer to him as "you"—only "Master."
Ye Feng chuckled. She still has the strength to ask?
"I'm almost impressed. If it were me, I'd have passed out by now."
He had once experimented by stacking 50 layers of ecstasy on himself.
Nearly killed him on the spot.
But that was back in his third or fourth week here, before he fully grasped his authority.
Ye Feng pulled up Ji Lin's status panel and switched her condition from "Extreme Exhaustion" to "Normal."
Instantly, strength flooded back into her body, as if the earlier weakness had been nothing but an illusion.
As Ji Lin processed this miraculous recovery, her heart grew heavier.
Compared to this man... the Honkai was nothing.
"So? How was it?"
"..."
Never again.
"No answer? Then I'll assume you liked it and were just being shy."
"N-No—!"
Ji Lin hastily wrapped herself in the bedsheet, her delicate frame trembling.
"That's... unnecessary."
"Alright, if you didn't enjoy it, I won't push. Oh, by the way—people from the outside world are starting to notice this place. Not that I care, but I'd rather you all stay safe. So..."
Ye Feng grinned, his expression morphing into a mischievous "/人◕‿‿◕人" face.
"Ji Lin, would you like to make a contract with me and become a magical girl?"
