Chapter 411 - Stirring Suo Jia’s Feelings Pt. 2

Miya pouted her charming red lips and made a face as she said, “Thoughts! Soul! And heart too? How could you be so greedy? If these were all yours already…how could my body and flesh belong to anyone else?”

Miya raised her head and quickly searched Suo Jia’s face, murmurs coming out from her mouth, “But, if Miya really did give everything to you, what would Miya do if dumped? To a woman, these things can’t be regained once handed over.”

Suo Jia gently covered Miya’s tiny, delicate, pale hands and sincerely answered, “It’s no use making promises about the future right now. But I can tell you that I, Suo Jia, am not the type that would become infatuated with a new person and grow tired of the old. For me, my feelings only grow deeper towards things that have remained in my heart over time. My emotions would not be swayed by anything else!”

Miya happily let her head rest on Suo Jia’s firm chest and said dreamily, “Miya is already twenty-six, at least eight years older than you. It won’t be long before Miya turns old. When that time comes, will you still like Miya? You won’t throw Miya away because of Miya’s aged features?”

“Haha…” Suo Jia smiled and shook his head, warmly replying, “Turning old? That won’t ever happen. You might not know this, but I’m the most skilled at using water manipulation abilities to beautify appearances. With me here, you would never turn old, even if you lived to 800 years old.”

Suo Jia’s tone turned serious as he continued, “Miya, until there comes a time when you find that I have deceived you, I ask that you believe every word I have said no matter what happens. Although I like your external appearance, this isn’t the most important. If I wanted to, I could mold a woman’s appearance to be identical to yours in face and body. But…what I want isn’t just your body. I want the real you!”

Miya flashed a charming smile as she intimately curled up in Suo Jia’s arms, her face flushed as she said, “Then if you really like Miya that much, Miya could never reject you!”

“What!” Suo Jia looked down at Miya lying in his embrace, so overjoyed that his voice trembled as he asked, “Does that mean you agree to be my girlfriend?”

Miya buried her head into Suo Jia’s chest as she nodded and answered, “Mm…if you don’t turn your back on me because of my older age, Miya is willing to be your girlfriend.”

Miya’s small hands gently reached into Suo Jia’s lapel, softly rubbing the firm muscles on Suo Jia’s chest as she hummed in reverie, “Alright then. From now on, Miya is Suo Jia’s. You should treat Miya gently!”

Suo Jia couldn’t help but sharply gasp at Miya’s touch. His body shuddered and he instantly grabbed Miya’s hands, shakily saying, “He-hey! Could you not provoke me like this? I’m a man, you know. I can’t take this kind of instigation!”

Miya couldn’t help but feel ashamed at Suo Jia’s words. She instantly retracted her hands and angrily shot back, “Who’s provoking you? Ok, ok…hurry up and get out of here. Miya wants to sleep!”

Suo Jia awkwardly stood up and sidled out of the cabin. Despite this, Miya could clearly see the grand tent Suo Jia sported, and couldn’t help but break out into a shy grin. Then, she abruptly yanked the blankets up to cover her head.

Bang! As the door slammed shut, the cabin finally returned to its former tranquility. Wrapped in the bedding that still had Suo Jia’s unique scent on them, Miya couldn’t help but feel both ashamed and angry. She tightly clenched her hands into fists as she quietly complained to herself, “What an unromantic guy. I went through all that effort to initiate, yet he rejected me. How embarrassing!”

But as she spoke, Miya suddenly poked her head out from the blankets and furrowed her brows as she murmured, “Could it be that this guy doesn’t want to take me as his own? But based on his flushed expression and that impressive tent below, it seems like he does?”

Suo Jia’s voice rang out outside the door. “Oi! Pass my command down. All the sailors are to go fish right this instant, and you are to send over a bowl of king carp soup for dinner!”

“King carp soup?” Miya was stunned for a moment. But then, her body trembled, and her eyes quickly began to tear up. In that instant, Miya understood everything.

Suo Jia had not rejected her because he did not want her. The true reason was because Miya’s body was so weak right now. If they engaged in intense physical activity with her current condition, Miya would not be able to take it.

Touched, Miya buried herself back under the blankets and began to weep. An indescribable feeling of warmth and boundless gratefulness filled her heart. Although it wasn’t that big of a deal, it was enough for Miya to sense how sincere Suo Jia’s affection towards her was. For her sake, he had restrained his own powerful desires. Even when she had taken initiative to throw herself into his arms, he had resolutely left. What a great amount of willpower!

In the evening, as the flag was raised to send a signal to the group, Suo Jia walked into Miya’s cabin with a bowl of fish soup in his hands. When Miya saw the large bowl, she was moved to tears. She tenderly lay in Suo Jia’s arms as she finished every last bit of the soup.

This was nowhere near her first time drinking fish soup, and she had even had king carp soup before. However, Miya felt that, in all her years of life so far, she had never tasted a more delicious fish soup before. It was warm, fragrant, and carried a comfort that could not be described with words.

Suo Jia gently and carefully wiped the corners of Miya’s mouth, as if wiping a precious jewel clean. After seeing his kind and patient action, Miya was now certain that she was as precious as a gem to him!

Suo Jia placed the bowl down on the table and tenderly said, “I’ve already sent out the signal. In a bit…my three teammates will come over and I’ll introduce you to them.”

“Mm…” Miya carefully expressed her understanding and softly said, “Help support me up. I really can’t meet anyone like this.”

Suo Jia nodded and gently held the back of Miya’s waist. The moment his hand came into contact with her, he felt a warm tenderness. It was as soft as a jellyfish, smooth and limp beyond words.

Although it was a simple movement of supporting Miya up, this was enough for sweat to start building on Suo Jia’s nose. Miya shot a glance at Suo Jia and chuckled, “Hey! Could yould help me get some clothes? The ones I’m wearing right now are way too filthy. I can’t meet people wearing this, right?”

“Ah!” Suo Jia blankly stared at her for a moment, before nodding furiously. He reached his left hand outwards to remove a set of light leather armor from his interspatial ring, cautiously passing it over to Miya. “Will this work?”

Miya glanced at the pink armor and nodded, then teased, “It’ll work quite well. But…I don’t have much strength in my body right now. Could you help me put it on?”

“Ack!” Suo Jia felt the blood in body boil at Miya’s words. He stiffly froze in place, completely at a loss on what to do.

Miya couldn’t help but giggle at Suo Jia’s stunned reaction. She intimately leaned against Suo Jia’s shoulder and said, “You’ve already made me yours, yet you remain so constrained. What are you afraid of? Miya’s heart, soul, and spirit all belong to you, and the body is yours as well. Miya doesn’t mind, why act so reserved?”

Suo Jia dumbly stared at Miya, his jaw dropped open in shock as he gazed at the extremely beautiful and charming woman before him. When he thought of how such a perfect woman was already his, how she wouldn’t blame him for anything he did to her, it became even harder to resist his racing blood. It was to the point where he was about to pounce on her and take a big bite.

However, it was evident that Xiang Yun, Roger, and Nicole could arrive at any moment, making his fantasy impossible. In a panic, Suo Jia reached out to shakily touch the fastening on Miya’s clothes.

Miya couldn’t help but feel her limbs weaken when she saw Suo Jia’s flustered expression. As his hands came closer, her heart was thrown into a flurry. In the end…Miya let out a sharp gasp and instantly grabbed the leather armor on the bed before hiding underneath the blankets. Forget Suo Jia’s inability to stay calm, Miya’s boldness was also merely an act. After all…although she wasn’t young, she was still a maiden that had never experienced sex before.
