A few days later, Song Jia went to court because there was a major problem that needed to be taken care of.
While returning back from the conference hall, she met Xu Jinhai who was searching for her in a panic. Before Song Jia could say a word, she was pushed against the wall, and her lips were sealed.
After kissing her fiercely for a while, Xu Jinhai buried his face in her neck.
"Where did you go?" His tone sounded as if he had been personally wronged. "You didn't tell me."
"I just went to court."
Song Jia didn't want to pay attention to him, feeling a bit angry in her heart. These days, Xu Jinhai had been very aggressive, invading her personal space and tailing her all the time. That's why she teleported into court without telling him.
But Xu Jinhai was like a koala, and he kept sticking to her at all times. The whole person acted as if he would die if he didn't keep her under his eyelids. He must hold and hug her every second, even wanting to keep the bathroom door open when she took a bath or needed to relieve herself.
Song Jia was about to go crazy because of his clingy behavior.
Just like right now, Xu Jinhai barely allowed her to exchange a few words before he kissed her again, coaxing her lips to open.
Taking advantage of Song Jia parting her lips to breathe, he slid his tongue inside her mouth. He cradled her head in his palms and tilted her mouth to one side for better access.
Xu Jinhai couldn't wait to rub her into his bones, and never be separated.
When he finally stopped kissing her, Song Jia greedily inhaled deep gulps of air. Xu Jinhai pressed his forehead against hers.
"Jia, you can't leave without telling me."
His voice was hoarse.
When he saw that she wasn't inside the room, he nearly went crazy. It seemed that when she told him that she would leave him, a kind of paranoid sickness was brought out.
The past few days, he didn't even dare to sleep, guarding Song Jia cautiously. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes and wasn't careful enough, she would suddenly disappear from his side.
"I'm not going to leave." Although she had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, Song Jia still adopted a coaxing tone. She knew where his paranoia came from. "I won't leave if you don't leave."
Her mission's goal was to wake up Xu Jinhai. She couldn't leave if he didn't wake up.
"Then since you don't want to leave, just stay by my side." Xu Jinhai kissed the top of her head. "Don't run around."
"I already promised not to leave you, so why do you still need to keep an eye on me?"
"Since you aren't going to leave, why should it matter if I wanted to keep an eye on you?" Xu Jinhai argued back.
Song Jia was speechless. What kind of unreasonable argument was this?
In fact, they were having the same quarrel for several days now. Song Jia wanted to leave, Xu Jinhai didn't want to leave, the two of them argued as if they were playing a ping pong game.
I look at you, you look at me. Neither party was willing to back down.
In the end, their argument became a circular loop without an ending.
...
When they laid down at night, Song Jia was asleep while Xu Jinhai was still wide awake.
He sat up and tilted his head, looking at Song Jia quietly for a long time under the moonlight.
He picked a lock of her hair, watching the strands slip past through his fingers.
He knew that their stalemate wouldn't last long. She was the type of person who wouldn't hesitate after making a decision, so if he didn't agree with her, she would leave him.
She would also realize that once she left, this would create a big stimulation for him.
So in the end, he would be left with no choice but to wake up.
This was the fastest solution for her to get her own way.
Xu Jinhai leaned down and lightly poked her cheek, his lips curving up.
With her intelligent mind, this clever girl would soon figure this out.
"Jia." He said her name lightly, afraid to wake her up. There was a kind of hidden emotion in that faint tone.
"In fact..." He paused. "I just don't want to risk it."
Xu Jinhai had never been afraid of gambling anything. Even his own life, he could easily offer up as collateral.
But with Jia, he never dared to take any uncertainties.
They were together now, and he didn't want any variables to ruin it.
There were too many risks if they leave. At least here, in this world he seemed to have created, the two of them could sleep like this, side by side together.
For Xu Jinhai, this was already the peak of happiness.
He just wanted to get along with her like this for eternity.
As Xu Jinhai gazed at her, black tendrils began to gather around Song Jia's limbs. It slithered around her wrists and her ankles, caressing her skin. However, it didn't tighten its hold.
A combination skill of greed and lust, 『Subdue』. With this skill, one could bring a person or object under their control by an exertion of will. Whatever you want that person or object to become, they will completely submit and follow your desires.
When Song Jia told Xu Jinhai about his identity, he began to gradually regain his memories. The powers both the angels and demons have were actually just an extension of the psychic illusion he had given them.
However, this didn't mean that the powers they were using were fake. Since all of their consciousness were being controlled by him, when they use their 'powers', it also had a cause and effect.
For example, using the invisible skill 『Stealth』. Because their consciousness were being controlled by Xu Jinhai, even when he had forgotten his real identity, he had subconsciously manipulated the consciousness of everyone to not be able to 'see' the person that was using the 『Stealth』 skill.
It worked just like a simple visual illusion. A perceptual illusion can completely change the view you have on reality.
Even when Song Jia took his powers, Xu Jinhai had only subconsciously suppressed his own abilities.
After Xu Jinhai realized this simple fact, he could basically treat this whole world as his own playground. He didn't even need to cultivate, as he could simply harness any skill or ability that he could think of.
This world...was wholly under his control.
There weren't any danger, variables, or uncertainties. He didn't need to worry that she would leave him, or that she wouldn't be safe.
He could even control her consciousness to forcibly stay here. Make her forget her own identity and stay with him.
He would be able to make her completely unable to leave him.
The black tendrils around Song Jia's limbs began to dissolve, dissipating into the air. From beginning to end, they didn't chain her.
Xu Jinhai tightly closed his eyes. When he opened them, he looked at Song Jia's peaceful sleeping expression.
Unable to contain his annoyance, he leaned over and fiercely bit her lips. Song Jia frowned, but she didn't wake up. She merely smacked his head away in her sleep.
With a red imprint of her hand on his cheek, Xu Jinhai shook his head and burst into laughter.
He thought about forcing her to become his, but from the start, he was already hers.
So how could he rebel?
This little ancestor was destined to step on his head since the first day that they met.

Little Theater:
ML: Jia, you are the only one in my heart, in my eyes, in my mind, and in my kidneys.
Song Jia: ...why are there kidneys?
