Yi deepened the kiss making it harder for her to breathe, making it hard for her to think properly. More importantly, it felt like her entire body was burning. She feels so hot. Is it because of the kiss? Or does it have something to do with his spiritual power? Her hands were on his naked chest before she knew it. Each movement of her hands led to the occasional groan escaping his lips. Yi's hands were on her chest, he squeezed her breasts and she moaned into his ear. She found herself rubbing her thighs between his legs.
Before anything else could happen however she hears a faint voice in her head, reminding her. Reminding her of the only man who could touch her like this. The only one who has known her body, and the only one she will allow.
Gasping for breath, Nene summons a small burst of power and manages to pull away.
Nene raised her hand to slap him and Yi blinked surprised.
"Didn't you want this? That's what girls your age usually want from a man like me."
Arrogant bastard!
He must have used his ability to mess with her! There is no way she would have touched him back otherwise. Her heart will always belong to one person, and one person only.
Nene takes a deep breath. "If you let me speak, you would have known I didn't come here to do-"
"To be pounded by me?" Yi finished.
Her cheeks coloured causing Yi to laugh. "You're definitely a young maiden from a rich family. But even then, your innocence is amusing."
"I'm glad this amuses you. But, I didn't come here to entertain you. I have a request. Mr Yi, you have quite the reputation as a witch doctor."
"Let me guess, you want me to find your beloved for you?" Yi said moving away from her. He picks up his discarded robe and slips it on.
Nene blinked. "How did you know-"
"You should know, I'm quite well known. It's not the first time someone has waited for me on that bridge."
"Oh."
"-and I usually make the same offer to test that person's conviction."
"That's so cruel."
Yi shrugged. "You'll be surprised how many women accept the offer."
Nene shakes her head. "I'd never do that."
"Hmmm, is mr partner really that handsome? Or maybe it's his wealth?"
"That's not it! Me and Lex are soulmates."
"Ah." Yi's lips curve to a smirk. "It's one of those cases."
"You don't find it weird?"
"I've dealt with all sorts of cases before. This isn't the first time soulmates have lost each other. I'll accept, but my fee is quite high, unless you wish to use other means to pay me..
Nene's cheeks flushed red seeing him scan her body. It was difficult for her not to think of the passionate way he kissed her. Or? his hands that roamed on her body moments ago. Nene frantically shakes her head. She can't let him deceive her.
"N-no, I can pay." Nene stammered.
"I see, well the offer still stands if you ever change your mind." Yi opens the small hatch. "The rain has stopped. Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Nene blinks. "It's alright, I can go home alone."
Yi shakes his head. "It's not safe for a young woman to be walking around this late. Let me take you home."
Had this been any other person, she would have lost her temper already. But, for some reason she wants to get to know this person more. Just a bit longer-

As they walked through the area Sumire realized that she had never once appreciated the beauty of the village ever since she had arrived. When she didn't wake up with Lex nearby like the other lifetimes, when she realized their connection was fading. She became desperate, and even though her new family insisted they'd help her. She started to travel to different cities alone and pushed them away. Nobody else understands the extent of the soul and blood bond. Only those who personally experience it understand the pull towards her partner.
This entire time she has been focused on one goal only, and that was to find Lex. However, now that she is looking around. She realizes how gorgeous this village is. The entire town is surrounded by vast green land, of vegetation, plants and flowers. There are so many flowers here. It's a welcome change from her homes in the past five lifetimes.
It did not take long before they reached a large garden area. It was filled with flowers she had never seen before. A flower that had petals that grew in layers, and layers, and a thorny stem.
What an elegant, and yet rare looking flower. The thorns must be a defence mechanism to hide the flower's beauty.
Nene thinks about the rumors she heard about Yi, the witch doctor. Unlike his companion Asu. Yi mainly kept to himself, and saw limited clients. Nobody knew the full extent of his abilities.
There was no flower better than this one that suits Yi. He is a man that clearly has the best intentions, but grew thorns to throw people from getting too attached to him. As though he doesn't want others to see him as a benevolent person.
"These are called roses, bara in our language." Yi spoke up, catching her glancing at the flowers. Gone was the teasing tone he used with her earlier. "My mother, before she discovered my powers and abandoned me lived here and grew them."
Nene glanced at the area and realized there was an abandoned looking building surrounded by overgrown grass and hedges. Did he just casually admit that he was abandoned-?
"Before my fathers passing, he told me that mother got the seeds from a Chinese trader from the southern regions of China. Father often spent time caring for the flowers whenever mother went away on business."
"It suits you, Yi-san." Nene found herself admitting as she directly looked into eyes. For some reason when she heard about his other clients, she felt uncomfortable. The way he spoke about the women that came onto him as well. She doesn't want to be a simply shy maiden.
There must be something wrong with her. What is she doing trying to impress this person?
