Shiyuan realm!
This is the realm that Nogawa Kyoko desperately needs to reach at present.
"I will work hard!"
After hearing Ye Ming's words, Nogawa Kyoko saw hope. She no longer had to worry about constantly falling into that degenerate state.
"Mm!"
Ye Ming also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We should go out too. I believe Shagong and the others must be getting anxious."
Although the relationship between him and Nogawa Kyoko was still a bit complicated, fortunately, it hadn't reached the worst point.
Just as Ye Ming was about to dispel the Wuchen World and return to reality, his hand was suddenly held by a gentle palm.
"Kyoko! You..."
Ye Ming was a little stunned as he watched the woman approaching him.
"Ye Ming! Let me be willful one more time!"
Before Ye Ming could respond, Nogawa Kyoko's red lips silenced him.
...
When the mysterious white radiance faded, and the two figures returned to reality, nearly ten minutes had passed.
Although time was static in that world, the memories left to both parties could never be erased.
Even now, the lingering scent of each other remained in their mouths.
"Kyo..."
Just as Ye Ming was about to habitually use the address "Kyoko," he suddenly stopped.
Now that they had returned to the real world, no longer in that Wuchen World, their identities should revert to their original forms.
Nogawa Kyoko naturally noticed Ye Ming's change.
It wasn't just Ye Ming; how could she be any different?
Now that the control of emotions by the Wuchen World was gone, when she recalled the passionate moments they had just shared, a surge of shyness and guilt towards Shagong instantly washed over her.
"It seems we both need to get used to each other again!"
Nogawa Kyoko sighed heavily, as if pushing all the inappropriate emotions deep into her heart.
"You are absolutely right!"
Ye Ming also shook his head, clearing stray thoughts from his mind.
After a few minutes of adjustment, the two finally calmed their hearts.
"Let them in!"
At this moment, there was no trace of emotion in Nogawa Kyoko's tone or expression.
"Alright!"
Ye Ming nodded gently. He knew that Nangong Qianyu and Nogawa Shagong had been waiting outside the door.
He chuckled, "I wonder if they'll be scared when they see your current appearance!"
Hearing this, Nogawa Kyoko also smiled.
Honestly, she was also quite looking forward to Nogawa Shagong's expression when she saw her.
"Shagong! Qianyu! You can come in now!"
Ye Ming waved his hand, creating a force out of thin air that directly opened the door.
Upon hearing this, Nogawa Shagong and Nangong Qianyu, who were outside the door, were overjoyed and rushed in.
"Ye Ming! My mother, she... she..."
Nogawa Shagong had just run to Ye Ming's side, about to inquire about her mother's condition, but only managed to say half of her sentence before the rest got stuck in her throat.
Not only that, but her beautiful eyes seemed to widen infinitely, almost about to pop out of their sockets.
Her slightly parted mouth was covered by her own palm. Her entire body trembled slightly.
It was as if she had witnessed something that completely shattered her worldview.
"Sister Shagong! Why... why... huh?"
Nangong Qianyu's steps were a beat slower than Nogawa Shagong's.
However, when she saw the other girl frozen in place, she was initially puzzled. But then, Nogawa Shagong's expression was replicated onto her face. Both of them were in a state of complete mental blankness.
The cause of all this was the appearance of a woman before them who was both unfamiliar and intimately familiar, a woman of unparalleled beauty.
Looking at the two women stunned into silence, Ye Ming and Nogawa Kyoko exchanged a smile, as if this was all within their expectations.
After nearly a minute, a glimmer of clarity returned to the pupils of the two girls. But more so, there was shock and confusion.
"Ye... Ye Ming! She... could it be... this... heavens!" Nangong Qianyu pointed at the woman as beautiful as a painting before her, her voice trembling, and asked intermittently.
Although she had a general guess, she still couldn't believe it.
After all!
This was simply too... bizarre.
An hour ago, she had seen an old woman with silver hair. But now, before her stood a sister who looked no older than herself.
Was this something an ordinary person could accept in such a short time?
If Nogawa Kyoko hadn't been wearing her previous clothes, Nangong Qianyu would have had reason to suspect that Ye Ming had somehow abducted a respectable woman from somewhere.
"Mo... Mother!"
Nogawa Shagong took a step forward, reaching Nogawa Kyoko, and tentatively called out.
She couldn't help it; she couldn't believe what she was seeing either.
"Silly girl!"
Nogawa Kyoko gave a warm smile, reached out to hold Nogawa Shagong's hand, and said gently, "It's normal for you to be shocked. Even I feel like I'm dreaming right now."
These words were truly from Nogawa Kyoko's heart.
"Mo... Mother! You... what... what happened?"
Nogawa Shagong held her mother's hand. Although it all felt like a dream, the touch was too real.
"Ah! Heavens! This... is this real?"
Nangong Qianyu, standing beside them, even pinched her own arm to verify the reality of what she was seeing.
This adorable action was truly something else.
Ye Ming glanced at her, then walked over to Nangong Qianyu. Without any explanation, he took her hand and led her towards the exit of the hall.
He knew that mother and daughter needed space to talk alone.
"Hey! You... why are you pulling me? What exactly is going on, I..."
Nangong Qianyu, completely bewildered, struggled as Ye Ming led her out of the hall.
"I'll explain to you later. Let them have some time alone first."
Ye Ming waved his hand, closing the hall door.
Then, Ye Ming brought Nangong Qianyu to a stone table in the courtyard, sat down, rubbed her little head, and said with a smile, "I know you have many questions, don't worry, I'll tell you!"
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu paid no mind to his little gestures.
"Speak quickly!"
Her curiosity was about to overflow.
Afterward, with Ye Ming's patient explanation, he told Nangong Qianyu what he could.
As for what he couldn't say, it naturally became a little secret between him and Nogawa Kyoko.
And it was a secret that absolutely could not be known by Nogawa Shagong and Nangong Qianyu.
