The gentle, sickly beauty is a cold and aloof general.

"Atal wants to sleep with me?"

Jun Ming said it so bluntly that Atar didn't find it so difficult to say it anymore.

Atar raised his eyes and looked directly at Jun Ming. Their eyes met, and neither of them looked away first.

【Our eyes meet fondly is a spiritual kiss of humanity without sexual desire.】

"think."

"I'd rather be held by a powerful man."

Atal reached out and touched Jun Ming's hand that was kneading his waist, and their fingers gradually intertwined.

"And... the lord promised me this morning."

"You can't go back on your word."

The last words became a soft murmur, disappearing between their pressed lips.

It was impossible to tell who initiated it; all that was known was that their intertwined hands gripped each other tighter and tighter until finally they separated, one wrapping their arms around the neck and the other around the waist.

By the time Atar came to his senses, he was already lying on top of Jun Ming, settled in bed.

"Didn't Atal have something to ask this afternoon?"

Jun Ming gently stroked Atar's back through the blanket, his movements unhurried and calm.

"At first, I had a lot of questions to ask, and my thoughts were all jumbled up, so I didn't know where to begin."

Atal leaned against Junming's chest, his arms wrapped around his lord's waist, in a very comfortable position.

It's also a posture that shows you're completely protected, which makes you feel very safe.

After hearing Atar's words, Jun Ming guessed that they would definitely be followed by a "but".

"And now?"

Jun Ming picked up where Atar left off and asked.

"I still don't know where to begin asking."

Atar truthfully expressed his innermost thoughts.

"There seem to be many things I want to know, but now it seems that none of them are important."

Atal's tone was tinged with conflict.

Jun Ming was somewhat helpless. He wanted to tell Atal about his situation, but Atal suddenly lost interest.

"Okay then."

Jun Ming made the suggestion.

"I'll give you three chances to ask questions. Think about what you most want to know, and then I'll tell you the answers."

"How is it?"

Atal nodded. This limitation on the number of attempts actually allowed him to find what he most wanted to know amidst his chaotic thoughts.

"So... the first question."

"Is the male lord's mental strength really only at level B?"

Jun Ming was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Atar's first question would be about his origins.

"One percent of my mental strength is at grade B."

"I haven't measured the exact values ​​yet, and I don't want to. Grade B is good; it's neither too flashy nor too ordinary."

Despite being mentally prepared, Atal was still shocked by that one percent figure.

No wonder... no wonder his master was so quick and effective in resolving his mental energy loss; and no wonder his master's mental energy could materialize.

Everything can then be explained.

The legion commander's concerns were not entirely unfounded; however, his lord did not need to undergo adult differentiation, as his spiritual power had already reached a level that made even insects hesitate to approach.

Seeing Atal standing blankly in his arms, not saying a word, he assumed Atal was frightened.

Jun Ming reached out and pinched Atar's cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"Were you startled by what I said?"

Atar, regaining his senses, shook his head.

"no."

"I just felt that the male lord's mental strength level shouldn't be so ordinary. Now it just confirms my previous guess."

Jun Ming patted Atal's head, picked up a strand of hair with his fingertip and twirled it around his finger, looking at Atal tenderly.

"And the second question?"

"The second question..."

Atal didn't ponder for long. After thinking for a moment, Atal stood up, faced Jun Ming, and looked at him intently.

"How long is the timeframe for the lord's claim of liking me?"

Caught off guard by these words, Jun Ming didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Why would Atal ask such a strange question?"

Jun Ming frowned, seemingly completely unable to comprehend Atar's thought process.

My feelings for you have no end.

Despite his confusion, Jun Ming patiently answered.

"There will be no time limit."

Jun Ming spoke with an earnest expression, almost as if he were swearing an oath to prove the accuracy of his words.

My love for you will only grow stronger; it will never end.

Jun Ming looked directly into Atar's eyes, conveying his inner determination through his gaze.

Meeting Jun Ming's gaze and listening to his heartfelt words, Atar's eyes gradually reddened.

But still stubborn, she asked the third question in a trembling voice.

"Will my lord...leave me someday?"

"..."

Jun Ming looked at Atal in silence.

Instead of answering that question, Junming asked Atar a question in return.

Why?

Why don't you ask me where I came from, where I'm going, or what my purpose is?

Atal forced his eyes open, refusing to let the tears fall, and said in a trembling voice:

"I was not involved in anything related to the past of the powerful ruler."

"The future is ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen in the next second."

"So... I just want to live in the moment and seize every second."

"All I need to know is that my current ruler is by my side and I am perfectly safe, and that will satisfy me."

Looking at Atar in front of him, his eyes were brimming with tears, trembling with emotion.

Jun Ming felt that his heart was completely devoted to Atar, and he didn't want to be separated from him for even a moment.

"Atar, I promise you."

"I will never leave you on my own initiative, no matter what."

With this assurance, Atar beamed with joy, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze and as beautiful as blooming flowers.

"I've finished asking my three questions."

Atal blinked, and a tear detached from his eyelashes, falling onto the fabric in front of Jun Ming's chest, leaving a water stain.

"Are these the only questions?"

"Don't you really want to know something else?"

Jun Ming gently wiped away the tear stains on Atar's cheeks.

Atal shook his head and murmured:

"there is none left……"

"Even a powerful ruler should have his own secrets."

"If the ruler wants to speak, I'll listen; if the ruler doesn't want to speak, then we'll talk about something else."

Jun Ming held Atar tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to meld him into his body.

Then he let out a deep sigh.

"Atar, Atar."

"How can you be so obedient?"

"A well-behaved little bug won't get to eat candy."
