While Jason was cursing inwardly, Jennifer's face was flushed.
She was embarrassed about what had just happened, not sure what exactly had overcome her to explode like this.
In the end, she couldn't even completely understand her own desires anymore because she had never felt or reacted like this.
As such, she didn't dare to look into Jason's eyes, feeling that she would start crying out of nowhere.
Her emotions were currently a huge tangled mess, and as weird as they had never been before.
She was torn between disappearing from his sight owing to her bold moves and pulling him close again to continue feeling the softness of his lips. Jennifer was unsure of what would happen to her the moment she was to take even a single glance at Jason.
Yet, when Jason turned around to give her a slow smile, he stiffened for a moment.
His Emperor Eyes were able to see the hues of the emotions she was feeling to a certain extent, and the same applied to her energy fluctuations.
Because of that, it was not difficult for him to realize that Jennifer was feeling nervous about what had just happened to the extent that she was feeling anxious.
Seeing this, Jason was momentarily confused, but instead of doing nothing and staring at her like an idiot, he gently cupped her face and raised her head to look her in the eye.
At this moment he saw a single tear in the corners of her eyes.
Wanting to comfort her, he softly kissed her lips before whispering against her ear.
"Are you okay?"
His breath tickled her ear and she felt tingles all over her body again. Her eyes closed again and he could hear her heartbeat that seemed loud enough to be heard from miles away. Feeling her excitement motivated him to keep going.
However, Jason was also aware of the fact that their current position was certainly not great, even less if one were to consider that they were fleeing from several hundred pursuers.
As such, holding Jennifer's face in his hands, he smiled, and consoled her, even though he had no idea what was going on in her little head.
Seeing that Jason didn't push her away when she had almost forced herself onto him, Jennifer sighed in relief, as fresh tears trickled down her cheeks.
This caused Jason to feel as if he did something wrong, and his excitement died down, replaced by worry.
Using the sleeves of his shirt, he tried to wipe away her tears, but he was just clumsy. The fact that she was suddenly sobbing made him feel a little bit uneasy.
'Did I do something wrong? Am I such a bad kisser that I made her cry? Or did she not want to kiss me at all?'
An extremely uncomfortable feeling arose within him, but Jason was unable to do anything against it.
This helplessness ate at his heart, which was something that hadn't ever happened before.
Yet, when Jennifer grasped his hand and intertwined her fingers in his, and gave him a radiant smile, he felt that everything was alright in the world. A sudden relief spread through his body, releasing the tension that had shortly accumulated.
"I'm fine…Or rather, I'm perfectly fine. Shall we go?"
Jennifer's voice was low, and she had begun to stutter a little bit. But seeing that her face was still flushed and red with embarrassment, Jason couldn't even think of teasing her right now.
Instead, he grasped her hand and nodded his head in response. Pulling her along, he flew away with her in the opposite direction of the beast's roar. Coincidentally, it was the same as the direction from which their pursuers would arrive…or maybe it was not a coincidence?
Flying side by side, they spent a month traveling through the Ninad beast realm. On their journey, they even passed through three human settlements without stopping even once.
They had encountered many humans, whether they were stronger or weaker, but never had anyone stopped to take another look at them, or rather Jennifer.
Rather, everyone avoided him and Jennifer as if they had released a repellent.
However, being ignored was not something bad, not in their current situation.
Instead, it was great because it spared them from focussing on possible attacks and instead getting to know each other even better. This would further help them to cultivate, to spar, and to practice their martial art techniques.
Practicing the Kanadi of a Primordial technique was also essential but in order to practice it even once, they were forced to halt for several hours.
After all, they had to bathe in a tub that was filled with warm water, a nutrition solution, and many cultivation stones placed around the bathtub.
As such, their to-do list was overflowing with all kinds of tasks, and in the month that passed, they were unable to unleash the same desire as on that one day.
This didn't mean that their feelings for each other had died down, or that they didn't want each other anymore.
However, the issues glaring at them needed to be addressed first. Jason couldn't help but feel uncomfortable knowing that they were in lands Jennifer was not even supposed to be able to enter.
Literally, anything could happen if someone were to show even the slightest interest in them. The fact that Jennifer was not a human from Argos was enough to make people look at the pair in suspicion. And, in order to protect her, Jason knew that spending more time on cultivating and practicing the Kanadi of a Primordial technique was imperative.
It was the most important to guarantee Jennifer's safety, which had become his high priority.
Apart from his soulbonds that were his family, and also a part of his soul, body, and entire being, Jennifer had become the most important person to him.
As he could not protect her by sending her inside his soul world like his other soulbonds, he had no other choice but to become stronger to protect her.
It was not difficult for Jennifer to notice what Jason was doing, and she would never hinder him from achieving his goals even if it was for her sake. She didn't want to distract him just because she wanted to continue to proceed with what they had stopped.
After all, they were still spending a lot of time with each other in which lots of unspoken things were happening. It was just not to the same extent as the first time!
With that in mind, complaining was a luxury they couldn't afford right now. Instead of throwing a tantrum, she wanted to become a pillar of support for Jason, and protect him in the moments he was unable to do that by himself.
As such, even she wanted to be strong just as was the case for Jason.
Becoming stronger as a way to show how much they valued each other…or at least for Jennifer, this was the case.
Except for her master telling her to become stronger, she never really had a proper reason to do so, but now that wasn't the case.
After having lost her master when Luna abandoned Jennifer, she had lost the motivation to become stronger.
In the end, this spark only returned when she reunited with Jason, and the amount of strength she required to stay by Jason's side was gradually increasing.
After all, he was the descendant of a Primordial race! His strength was gradually increasing, and his secondary bloodline awakening would increase his power and cultivation talent by several times once again.
Thus, she was bound to become an unnecessary burden to Jason in the future, which was something she couldn't accept!
As such, Jason had turned into her resolve to become stronger. She would do everything required to stay by his side, even if he were to feel like annihilating other races.
That…was the extent to which her love for Jason had reached!
