Chapter 459: Are You Also Lacking a Sense of Security?

It seemed troublesome to think about beforehand, but the actual implementation was exceptionally fast, because Qin Jian did not want to delay any longer.

So, after he split the Ice Fire Yin Yang Fish and sent them into the lips of the two young women, the powers of ice and fire bloomed simultaneously within Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu.

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time, red and blue colors exploded from their bodies, reflecting off each other and illuminating the room in a magnificent display.

But unlike before, when the two had purely ice-blue and flame-colored light, a mass of completely opposite power now appeared in the center of each of their chests.

In the center of Shui Bing'er's chest was a mass of Flame, and in the center of Huo Wu's chest was a piece of Ice and Snow.

This was the reason the two had to perform the Fusion Exchange; only in this way could they continue to cultivate this ultimate elemental power.

"Na'er, why is it that when I manipulate elements with you, it doesn't cause harm to the body like it does for them?" Qin Jian asked in his heart.

Na'er replied: "You said it yourself, we are manipulating elemental power, not performing a Fusion of elemental power. The two of them are performing a Fusion. What is the ultimate state of Fusion? It is to become the element itself, so they need to maintain balance while performing the Fusion, otherwise it will be difficult to continue."

"Then this so-called Assessment is no good if it forces them to perform a Fusion. How can Fusion be better than manipulation? Is it just more powerful?" Qin Jian said, speechless.

Na'er added: "Cultivating to the extreme is naturally not weak, but it is not much stronger than you, and it cannot compare to me at all. But considering they are just ordinary humans, being able to achieve this is already the extreme for humans, and it is worthy of praise."

Still worthy of praise... if they heard that, they would be furious to death...

"Can someone like me, who doesn't specialize in elemental manipulation, be not much worse than them?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

Na'er said as a matter of course: "I told you long ago, you and they are different. Being able to meet you, being able to be favored by you, and being able to become a part of your God Trial is their good fortune."

Qin Jian's face almost twisted: "Na'er, you said before that it seemed like I was the detestable one, and that they were pitiful to have met me..."

Are women all so duplicitous? Even the most wise Lady Na is like this, sigh...

"Eh? Did I say that? Why don't I remember?" Na'er said very innocently.

Qin Jian was silent for a long time before saying faintly: "You are not my Na'er; my Na'er would never deny it..."

Na'er was also silent for a moment, then said in the same faint tone as him: "It's all learned from you..."

Qin Jian: "......"

"Hum hum..."

Finally, after flickering for a good while, the flames and the light of Ice and Snow in the room gradually extinguished, all of it being drawn into Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's bodies just like a long whale sucking in water.

Both of them opened their eyes almost at the same time, and then subconsciously wanted to pull away from Qin Jian, especially from his lips.

Because during the process of the Fusion essence, the two of them had still maintained the state of their lips being pressed against Qin Jian's!

"Wait."

Sensing that Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's lips were pulling away, Qin Jian suddenly tightened his arms, stopping them from leaving him.

Two pairs of eyes immediately looked at him, the meaning in them exactly the same.

That is, the serious business is finished, what else do you big pig's trotter want?

Qin Jian miraculously captured the meaning in their eyes, but still asked shamelessly: "Can you let me hold you for a while longer?"

Shui Bing'er gave him an icy-cold glance: "Reason?"

Qin Jian blinked, unable to speak for a moment.

Na'er had thought he would say some flowery words to coax them, and Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were already prepared to give him a punch directly after he said something deceptive.

But they never expected that after a moment of silence, Qin Jian would look directly at the two of them and say in a low voice: "I... I just hope to hold you both a little longer... to remember the feeling of having you in my arms..."

This sounded extremely scummy, but for some reason, none of the three girls present felt it was scummy; on the contrary, it felt unusually affectionate.

Can it only be said that the love words of the Love Flower are terrifyingly powerful...

Na'er sighed slightly: "Qin Jian, you also lack a sense of security, don't you?"

Qin Jian: "......"

"Is it because mysterious Assessments have started appearing on them recently, and these things that are out of your control are gradually increasing, so you are uneasy? You are starting to worry that you won't be able to keep them by your side in the future?" Na'er said.

Qin Jian sighed softly: "You guess my emotions and worries accurately every time now..."

"We are too familiar with each other, so I know you very well. Whether you are speaking from the heart or have ulterior motives, I know as soon as I hear it..."

Na'er's voice also became a bit softer.

She hesitated slightly, but still said gently: "No matter what... no matter what happens... I will always be by your side..."

"... Mm."

Qin Jian was silent for a moment, then gave a low response.

His hands began to slowly loosen from Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, the corners of his mouth curling up, though there was not much of a smile in his eyes: "Just a joke, don't hit me again."

Shui Bing'er looked carefully at his expression, especially his eyes, and her willow-leaf brows furrowed imperceptibly.

Huo Wu was not as careful as her, but she inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable, so she simply grabbed the large hand that was about to be withdrawn from her waist and buried herself straight into Qin Jian's embrace: "If you want to hold us, then hold us. It's not like you haven't held us before, what's the harm in holding us a bit more."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and leaned quietly against his side, occupying only half the space.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

She also lay down on the other side of Qin Jian, and at the same time reached out a hand to gently stroke his cheek: "Qin Jian, why have you suddenly become a bit melancholy?"

"Melancholy? How could I be?"

Qin Jian held the beauties in his arms, and strangely, he did not have much of the indescribable satisfaction of a man; instead, his slightly wandering heart seemed to have found a home, gradually becoming peaceful.

The three of them leaned quietly against each other, neither of them speaking for a while.

At the beginning, both Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were a bit awkward, but Huo Wu adopted the strategy of closing her eyes and playing dead, while Shui Bing'er was not very resistant to begin with, so after a little while, she didn't feel much about it.

She was now more concerned about what Qin Jian was thinking; she trusted her own observations, so she knew he must have been worried about something just now.

"Qin Jian..."

Shui Bing'er looked silently at his profile, her icy eyes blinking: "Are you afraid that we are not willing to be with you? To be together like this?"

Qin Jian lamented in his heart.

These girls are all as clever as Ice and Snow; it's impossible to deceive them...

He didn't even know how to answer this question. How easy is it to keep these excellent people by his side? It's not something that can be settled by just saying a few words.

It is still because my strength is not strong enough; if I were strong enough to suppress an entire generation, the resistance would likely be much smaller...

"Qin Jian... you don't know how to say it, right?"

Shui Bing'er continued to blink her icy eyes, yet a smile that could topple cities and states appeared at the corners of her mouth: "Actually, if you said it, it doesn't necessarily mean you wouldn't get what you want..."
