Ten minutes later, Ye Ming's thoughts returned to reality.
The reason he had been lost in thought for so long was not simply due to the sudden improvement in his cultivation. The fundamental cause was the immense mental effort required to clear the effects of the backlash from the Samsara power for Ye Chuan Gongzi.
Therefore, he had unknowingly entered a state of meditation to restore his strength.
However, the moment he regained consciousness, his entire body froze.
For at his chest now lay a woman, soft as warm jade. He could even feel the warmth of her breath.
"Holy hell! Who… who is this!"
Looking at the woman in his arms, who felt somewhat familiar yet her appearance was completely new, Ye Ming's heart skipped a beat, his mind feeling dizzy.
However, when he saw the clothes she was wearing, after a few seconds of stunned silence, he finally understood what had happened.
"My goodness! I never expected that she could turn misfortune into a blessing. When the Samsara power went out of control, it actually reversed her years. This…"
Understanding the cause and effect, Ye Ming was deeply shaken by the scene before him.
The possibility of such an event was one in ten million.
He never imagined that Ye Chuan Gongzi would be the one to encounter it.
Previously, she had been solely focused on healing the other party, and then she was shocked by her own cultivation advancement, so she hadn't noticed the other person's change immediately.
But now, with Ye Chuan Gongzi, who had returned to her youthful prime, quietly lying in his embrace. He had to admit, he was feeling a bit uneasy.
"She truly is the number one goddess of the ninja world of Dongdao back then. No wonder she could give birth to someone as stunning as Gongzi."
Ye Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
Upon closer inspection, one could even find some of Ye Chuan Gongzi's features in Ye Chuan Gongzi.
Of course!
The feeling they both gave off was completely different.
Ye Chuan Gongzi, on the other hand, exuded more of a cold and distant aura. Only to those familiar with her would her presence gradually soften.
But Ye Chuan Gongzi was different.
Even though she was in a "slumber" now, Ye Ming could still feel the sharp aura emanating from her. And it carried a sense of unyielding spirit.
Unbending to anyone.
Not inferior to anyone.
If one word were to describe her, Ye Chuan Gongzi was more like a female war god.
It was just that after the series of events that had transpired, that war god's aura had gradually dissolved from her. If she hadn't returned to the prime of her life, Ye Ming would likely not have seen this side of her.
"This can also be considered another gift from fate!"
All his emotions turned into a light chuckle from Ye Ming.
He was genuinely happy for her.
However, was it appropriate to let her continue lying in his arms like this?
If she woke up, that scene…
Ye Ming quickly shook his head, not daring to imagine.
He reached out his hand, carefully placing it on Ye Chuan Gongzi's shoulder. With a gentle push, he intended to move her with the least amount of disturbance.
However, to his utter surprise, the moment his hand touched Ye Chuan Gongzi, she seemed to sense it.
"Mmm!"
Ye Chuan Gongzi opened her eyes lazily, seemingly still a little dazed. She seemed completely unaware of her current situation.
She slightly raised her head, looking at Ye Ming who was staring at her, and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
"Uh!"
At this question, the hand Ye Ming had placed on her shoulder froze abruptly. If an outsider saw this scene, they would think Ye Ming was trying to do something inappropriate.
"I… this…"
At this moment, Ye Ming wished he could tear open a spatial rift and disappear into it.
This scene was… just too awkward.
Seeing that he couldn't look her in the eye, Ye Chuan Gongzi's lips curved upwards slightly in a corner Ye Ming didn't notice.
It was impossible to know what Ye Chuan Gongzi was thinking when she wore that expression.
"This… how could I…"
At this moment, Ye Chuan Gongzi seemed to suddenly realize that she was lying in Ye Ming's arms. She startled and sat up abruptly, her face filled with confusion.
However, the moment her body left that warm embrace, a trace of loss and disappointment welled up in her heart.
It was somewhat bitter.
But also helpless.
All of this, she hid perfectly.
"Aunt…"
Seeing this, Ye Ming wanted to explain what had happened. However, when he saw her stunning face, the word "Aunt" got stuck in his throat.
It seemed difficult to utter.
And it was clearly a little incompatible with the current Ye Chuan Gongzi.
"You… what's wrong?"
Ye Chuan Gongzi, pretending to be completely unaware of the changes in her body, looked at Ye Ming, her confusion deepening.
But in her heart, she seemed to be extremely satisfied with Ye Ming's current lost look.
"This… Aunt… Aunt! Don't you notice any changes in your body?"
Before explaining what had happened, Ye Ming decided to give her a hint. Otherwise, he had no idea how he would continue the conversation.
"Body changes?"
Hearing Ye Ming's hint, Ye Chuan Gongzi seemed to examine herself more carefully. Then she looked at her hands, her previously confused expression instantly replaced by shock.
"Heavens! This… this…"
…
Ten minutes later, the shock on Ye Chuan Gongzi's face slowly faded. It was replaced by unprecedented excitement and fervor.
"Ye Ming! You… how did you do it?" Ye Chuan Gongzi grabbed Ye Ming's hand with a hint of hysteria and asked, "Why… why has my body returned to the age of twenty-five or twenty-six?"
Ye Chuan Gongzi's current lack of composure was not feigned.
It was entirely from the heart.
Because she genuinely wanted to know what had happened to her body? Why had such a heaven-defying change occurred?
Of course!
Whether there were other emotional undertones in her heart, that remained to be seen.
Feeling the warm and delicate skin in her palm, Ye Ming was at a loss for a moment.
He didn't know whether to struggle or continue holding on, as both seemed inappropriate.
"I… Aunt…"
At this moment, Ye Ming stared at his hand being held by her, his mind a complete mess.
"Ah!"
He wailed inwardly.
Ye Chuan Gongzi's transformation was something he couldn't accept in such a short time.
And it wasn't just him.
If Ye Chuan Gongzi saw Ye Chuan Gongzi in this state, what would her expression be like?
If a mother in her twenties appeared before her, she would likely have her jaw dropped.
At this moment, Ye Chuan Gongzi also noticed Ye Ming's flustered and avoiding gaze, and instantly understood what he was thinking.
So, she slightly bent the index finger of her other hand.
*Dong!*
She lightly tapped Ye Ming on the head and shook her head with a smile:
"I am Gongzi's mother, what nonsense are you thinking, kid?"
