Feng Yanshen pulled back slowly from the kiss. Both of them were breathing hard, chests rising and falling quickly.
He tried to calm the hunger crawling inside him. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay in control. This was not the right time. He had something more important to do first. freёwebnovel.com
He rested his forehead gently against Yue Yue’s. His hot breath brushed across her face. Yue Yue also took a deep breath and looked up at him.
But Feng Yanshen kept his eyes closed. He did not let her see the strong emotions swirling inside them.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He said nothing, just rested against her, seeking comfort in her warmth.
After a moment, the hunger inside him grew even stronger. The urge to claim her completely became almost unbearable. He clenched his fist tightly on the bed sheet until the fabric tore under his fingers.
But he knew it was not the time yet.
He pulled himself back with great effort. Yue Yue looked at him with wide, innocent eyes. Her pure gemstone-blue eyes sparkled softly, making Feng Yanshen almost growl. He felt like he would lose control any second.
He quickly covered her eyes with his hand and said in a low, rough voice, "Yue, don’t look at me like this."
He calmed his emotions, then stood up and smoothed his crumpled clothes. He looked down at the ground for a moment before reaching out and taking her hand gently.
"Do you really want to marry me?" he asked seriously.
Yue Yue was stunned for a second. Then she nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
She did not need to think. She had always been ready.
Feng Yanshen smiled softly. He waved his hand in the air and mumbled something under his breath.
Suddenly, a bright golden arrow lit up on the ground beneath their feet. In the next moment, they were no longer in the palace room.
They arrived at the temple.
The air felt sacred and heavy. Soft white light filled the temple’s main hall. Tall pillars carved with old symbols rose around them. The temple seemed alive with quiet power.
Feng Yanshen led Yue Yue to the center of the sacred platform. He did not let go of her hand even for a second.
He began the ancient ritual of binding mates. As the High Priest, only he could perform this holy ceremony.
Yue Yue stood quietly, staring at him. She did not move or speak. She simply watched him with soft, loving eyes.
Feng Yanshen looked deep into her eyes and started speaking the sacred words.
"Even if you go to a different world, I will follow you."
His voice was low and full of emotion. The white light around them grew brighter.
"Even if death tries to separate us, I will find you again."
He raised their joined hands. A thin golden string of light appeared between their wrists, slowly wrapping around them.
"I take your soul with mine. From this life to the next, our souls will search for each other."
Yue Yue felt warmth spreading through her body. The golden string pulsed with power.
Feng Yanshen continued, his voice becoming deeper and more possessive.
"No matter how many lives pass, no matter how many memories we lose, I will always find you. You are mine, Yue Yue. My mate. My everything."
The golden string tightened gently around their wrists. It felt warm and alive.
"I bind my soul to yours for eternity. In this life and in every life after. Even if the world ends, even if the stars fall, I will chase you across time."
Yue Yue’s eyes shimmered with tears. She kept staring at him, unable to look away.
Feng Yanshen’s gaze burned with intense love and dark obsession.
"You will never be alone again. Wherever you go, I will be there. Whoever tries to take you from me will face my wrath."
The golden light grew stronger. The string of destiny glowed brighter, connecting their souls.
"I vow to protect you, to love you, to possess you completely. You are my mate. My only one."
A soft wind blew through the temple hall. The ancient symbols on the pillars lit up one by one.
Feng Yanshen pulled Yue Yue closer. Their bodies almost touched.
"Even if you forget me in the next life, my soul will remember. It will call to yours until we find each other again."
The golden string glowed strongly. Yue Yue felt a deep pull inside her chest, as if something invisible was tying their hearts together forever.
Feng Yanshen’s voice dropped lower, filled with dark romance and fierce possession.
"You belong to me, Yue. In body, in soul, in every lifetime. No one else will ever have you."
He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers again.
The golden light surrounded them completely now. It felt like the temple itself was watching and blessing their union.
Yue Yue whispered softly, "I am yours, Feng Yanshen. Always."
He smiled, but his eyes still carried that intense, possessive fire.
The golden string flashed brightly one final time. It sank into their skin, leaving a faint glowing mark on their wrists.
The ritual was complete.
Their souls were bound.
Feng Yanshen looked at her with deep satisfaction and love. "Now you are truly my mate. For this life and all the lives to come."
Yue Yue felt the connection deep inside her. It was warm, strong, and unbreakable.
She kept staring into his eyes, seeing the obsession, the love, and the promise of forever.
The temple hall grew quiet again. Only the soft golden glow remained around them.
Feng Yanshen pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
He whispered against her hair, "No matter what happens outside, you are mine now. And I am yours. Forever."
Yue Yue closed her eyes and rested against his chest. She could feel their bound souls pulsing gently together.
The ritual had been beautiful, thrilling, and deeply romantic. It carried the weight of eternity and the fierce possessiveness of Feng Yanshen’s love.
They stood there for a long time, wrapped in each other, hearts and souls now tied together across all lifetimes.
