Chapter 753

Ye Li touched his nose, feeling slightly awkward. "An accident... just an accident..."

It was his first time witnessing Mantis's empathic abilities, and seeing her look so accommodating, he had assumed she was truly willing...

Plus, he was in high spirits at the time and had triggered a "wish-fulfillment" style system relationship task, so he just went ahead and pushed her down...

Who knew the girl actually hadn't been willing...

Ye Li had always followed the principle of mutual entertainment and enjoyment, but it seemed he had capsized his boat this time.

Drip~

Mantis looked at him without speaking, and in the end, tears finally fell...

Perhaps it was because the romantic drama plot on the television contrasted with her own experience of being casually toyed with, making the young girl feel even worse...

Ye Li glanced at the TV screen and realized what was going on. He couldn't help but cast a secretly reproachful look at poor little Cindy... "Look at you, why weren't you more careful? Letting her watch this kind of thing at a time like this."

Of course, he only said this in his heart; he didn't actually speak it out loud.

After all, since Cindy was willing to stay and help comfort the other women, he couldn't really say anything.

Watching Mantis just shed tears bit by bit without saying a word,

Ye Li also felt a bit stumped, with no way to start comforting her...

Simply put.

He chose to first use his psychic powers to read the young girl's thoughts—

【He's back... he's not going to want to mate with me again, is he... sob sob sob...】

Mantis thought fearfully and sadly in her heart: 【... Ego would kill the females after mating with them... this new master named Ye Li won't do that to me too, will he... after all, he's so casual with me... not like the lovers in this program...】

Ye Li listened to her inner voice, feeling somewhat speechless...

He had always been one to cherish the fair and protect the delicate, alright... To be thought of as a cruel guy like Ego...

But fortunately, Mantis's emotions were only somewhat sad, with no real hatred; it seemed she was still too innocent.

Enn... of course... it could also be because his physical appearance was quite excellent...

So, there are benefits to being handsome; even after pushing a girl down, it's easier to be forgiven.

【It seems this can't be blamed entirely on me... it's her father's actions that made her impression of males not very good, leaving a shadow in her heart...】

Once Ye Li understood the crux of the matter, he walked over to Mantis, sat down, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Ah...!"

Mantis shrank back, not nestling obediently in his arms like the other girls, but instead cowering fearfully, "You... don't... don't do this... I'm not feeling well... mating... can wait... a little later..."

"Heh~"

Ye Li was caught between laughter and tears. Without saying more, he grasped the slightly drooping antennae on her forehead and directly activated his empathic ability—

"Mm~ what is this..." Mantis gave a start, her body beginning to tremble slightly.

Conspicuous white light lit up the room, and the two streams of empathic power suddenly began to shine in harmony.

She read the pity and affection in his emotions... there wasn't a single thought of wanting to hurt her...

And he, too, felt her fear, sadness, and bewilderment as if they were his own.

The two identical superpowers seemed to have triggered some special reaction...

Both parties gradually locked eyes, then slowly brought their faces closer until their lips met.

Ye Li mumbled indistinctly, "I seem to be gradually understanding..."

"Don't speak... kiss me..." Mantis likewise mumbled with her lips, her slender hands actively wrapping around his neck and shoulders, hanging on.

Cindy sat to one side knitting a scarf, looking somewhat puzzled... How did they suddenly start kissing?

【Isn't this too sudden? One second she was crying and cowering... the next second, her antennae were glowing so brightly...】

Cindy squinted slightly, wondering if Mantis also had a constitution similar to hers, where she couldn't help herself whenever she got close to Li...

Thinking back to the beginning, it seemed she had been charmed by Ye Li because of this... eh... no, it should be said that she was the one who charmed Ye Li...

【Thinking back to that time... I still feel a bit shy and embarrassed... to have actively kissed the teacher the very first time we met...】

Cindy recalled the past with a slight blush.

Ye Li, meanwhile, separated from Mantis, pulled her close, and began to gently comfort her in a low voice—

"Don't worry... I won't hurt a beautiful girl as cute as you..."

... It must be said, girls with a gentle personality like Mantis just love this.

After Ye Li comforted her for a while, her gaze toward him held much more affection.

Suddenly.

Mantis grabbed his hand, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Let's mate, I'm willing!"

"Uh..." Ye Li was slightly stunned; this was a bit abrupt...

But looking at her earnest eyes, even though he wasn't in the mood right now, he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Alright then..."

With a thought from Ye Li, the fate spider silk that formed their clothing fluttered and dissipated.

Then, he held the young girl and rolled over onto the sofa...

This time, Mantis fully felt his love and couldn't help but develop feelings that belonged only to her...
