The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 639 Two Consciousnesses Influence Each Other
The consciousness of the Shadow of Ember fell silent for a moment, as if it too was pondering this unsolvable problem.

When he spoke again, his voice was less cold than usual, and more complex and... a kind of cognitive fusion.

“You are inside my body. We share everything, feel each other’s emotions, and even begin to share vague fragments of memory… Fu Jinshen, now, can you still tell the difference? I am you, and you are me. The boundaries between us are becoming more and more blurred.”

Indeed, Jin Ying has gradually been forced to accept the existence of Fu Jinshen, the "intruder," after initially strongly rejecting him.

Even in their daily coexistence, he would be uncontrollably influenced by the other's surging and unforgettable love, and would begin to uncontrollably pay attention to and think about the female named Bai Wanwan.

His original idea was very simple.

Previously, the clan leader was physically weak and nearing death. He himself did not have any other females he wanted to mate with. Therefore, obeying the clan leader's wish to mate with Yun Duo and fulfill the elder's expectations was not something he could resist. It was more like a responsibility.

But now, the situation is completely different.

The clan chief recovered and no longer needed this ceremony to fulfill his last wish.

And he... after experiencing Fu Jinshen's burning passion, a longing quietly grew deep within him: a longing for a life he could choose, a life that could touch his heartstrings, a life he wanted.

"I can't stay for long..."

Fu Jinshen's voice echoed in my mind, filled with a deep sense of repression and a profound reluctance.

This realization was the root of all his suffering.

Once this brief "possession" ends, he will never see Wanwan again, and even the chance to watch her from afar and occasionally touch her will be completely taken away.

"How do you know you won't stay long?" Jin Ying's keen senses caught the key point. "This time, you stayed much longer than ever before. And when I was awake, you didn't instinctively reject or suppress me like you did at first, and I... didn't seem to be able to easily drive your consciousness into a corner like before. Fu Jinshen, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

Jin Ying's words were like a lightning bolt that cleaved through the fog before Fu Jinshen's eyes.

Yes, their consciousness and souls no longer seemed to be simply fighting and confronting each other. Instead, it was as if, under some irresistible force, their thoughts and emotions were permeating and influencing each other, and even... began a slow and strange process of fusion.

Fu Jinshen instantly became alert, an ominous premonition gripping him: "You...you've also fallen for Wanwan?"

He almost held his breath, waiting for the other person to speak, yet somewhat resisting the answer.

Jin Ying remained silent for a moment, and that silence alone was enough to make Fu Jinshen's heart sink to the bottom.

Finally, he spoke, his voice carrying a hint of confusion that he himself couldn't fully comprehend, yet also a gradually clarifying inclination.

"I may have been influenced by your intense and undeniable emotions... but there's no denying that she is an exceptionally outstanding and charming female. If we had never had the chance to meet, that would be one thing, but through repeated encounters, witnessing her composure and wisdom in healing the chieftain, and her calm and collected demeanor in the face of doubt... I'm not sure that even without your influence, I wouldn't have been attracted to her."

He paused, his tone hardening as if he had finally sorted out his thoughts: "Regardless of the source of these feelings, Fu Jinshen, I truly... want to be her partner now." "You can't! She already has many males around her; they've already taken over her heart and her life!"

He couldn't bear to personally deliver a male to a woman's side!

The males around Wanwan are a fait accompli, and he has no right to drive them away, but Jinying... he absolutely cannot push him to Wanwan's side with his own hands.

That would be tantamount to stabbing another knife into his heart, and he did it himself!

This contradictory, almost self-destructive possessiveness and despair clashed violently between two intertwined consciousnesses, causing the body to tremble slightly at the deserted stairwell.

“Ember Shadow, male, the clan leader invites you in.”

The orc who delivered the message waited respectfully to the side, interrupting the conversation between the two consciousnesses.

Fu Jin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, and his expression returned to its usual coldness. He followed the orc back to the chieftain's room where he was recuperating.

Inside the room, the Elephant Clan Chief leaned against the couch, his complexion much better than before, clearly indicating that the medicine was continuing to take effect.

Upon seeing Jinying, his face lit up with genuine joy and anticipation. He beckoned her closer, his tone brimming with hope for the future: "Jinying, once you and Yunduo are officially married, the biggest weight will be lifted from my heart. Who knows, maybe this old man of mine will still be strong enough to watch you two have a few litters of healthy, strong offspring!"

He spoke with great enthusiasm, his face beaming with the love and satisfaction of an elder.

However, after he finished speaking, he found that Jin Ying, who was standing in front of the bed, did not have the expected joy on his face. Instead, his brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were tight, and his expression was so gloomy that it was almost as if water could drip from them.

The clan leader's smile faded slightly, and he asked with concern, "What's wrong, Ember Shadow? Is... something wrong?"

He thought there was some serious problem in the tribe.

Jin Ying raised his head and looked directly at the clan leader. His eyes were complex, filled with guilt and struggle, but more than anything, they showed a resolute determination to burn one's bridges.

Without further hesitation, he spoke clearly and slowly, each word like a heavy stone hitting the ground: "Uncle, I... want to cancel the marriage ceremony with Yun Duo."

The color drained from the elephant chieftain's face in an instant. He sat bolt upright, almost unable to believe his ears, and his voice rose sharply, filled with disbelief and fury.

"What did you say? Ember Shadow, say it again!" This sudden turn of events made him think there was something wrong with his ears.

At the same time, Fu Jinshen's voice carried a strong warning and reminder, "Jinying, don't do anything reckless! You and Yunduo grew up together, and everyone in the tribe knows you're going to become partners. As for your feelings for Wanwan, they were just influenced by my emotions, not your true feelings! You can't break your promise because of a moment of impulse!"

Ember Shadow responded in her mind, with an undeniable resolve: "Yes, it was your influence! But this influence is real; it has changed my thoughts and my feelings. It is now a part of my true emotions! I have fallen in love with her, and if I have another female in my heart, I can no longer be with Cloud. That would be unfair to Cloud."
