The next day, after waking up and having breakfast as usual, Blue Silver Emperor decided to explore the city. She asked some locals for recommendations and learned about a large wetland park in the suburbs of the royal city.

Excited, Blue Silver Emperor dragged Lin Yongming to the wetland park.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Xiao Ming, hurry up!" Blue Silver Emperor urged.

"Ah Yin, I can't see anything. I can only smell the various flowers. There must be a lot of different types planted here," Lin Yongming said helplessly.

"That's right. At a glance, I can see endless flowers, plants, and trees. There are over a dozen types of flowers here."

"Come on, let me walk with you and tell you about the different kinds of flowers," Blue Silver Emperor said, noticing several couples strolling hand in hand through the flower beds. She immediately linked her arm with Lin Yongming's.

"Thank you for that," Lin Yongming said with a slight smile.

"No problem!"

"Right now, we're in the tulip section…"

As they walked through the garden, Blue Silver Emperor introduced Lin Yongming to the names, colors, and blooming seasons of each flower.

Lin Yongming listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, while Blue Silver Emperor happily continued her explanations.

"It's a pity that these flowers are all cultivated. They can't compare to the wild beauty of flowers that grow naturally in the wild. Those flowers have more vibrant colors and richer fragrances," Blue Silver Emperor sighed.

"True. They lack the beauty that comes from weathering the wind and rain," Lin Yongming nodded in agreement.

"Exactly," Blue Silver Emperor agreed, then turned to Lin Yongming. "Xiao Ming, after all my explanations, is there a flower here that you like?"

Lin Yongming suddenly felt stumped. Among the flowers Blue Silver Emperor had described, only roses, tulips, and chrysanthemums sounded familiar to him from his past life. The others were completely unknown to him.

Not to mention, he had no idea what they looked like or their colors.

"Oh, I forgot. Your world is just black and black," Blue Silver Emperor said, noticing Lin Yongming's troubled expression.

"..." Lin Yongming was speechless. "How should I respond?"

"Got it!" Lin Yongming suddenly thought of how to reply.

"Ah Yin, now that you mention it, there is a flower I like," Lin Yongming said after a moment of silence.

Just as Blue Silver Emperor was feeling awkward, she perked up at Lin Yongming's words and quickly asked, "What flower?"

"Although I can't see its color, this flower blooms with a deep blue light in my heart. Its radiance is so pure, so clear, and it stands out untainted in the darkness," Lin Yongming finally said.

"What flower are you talking about? A blue lotus?" Blue Silver Emperor asked curiously, seeing how serious Lin Yongming was.

"Ah Yin… that deep blue flower is you. You are the most beautiful flower in my heart. No flower in this world could ever compare to even a fraction of your beauty in my heart," Lin Yongming said softly.

"Huh?!" Blue Silver Emperor was stunned, caught completely off guard by Lin Yongming's words. Her cheeks quickly turned red.

"Xiao Ming, why… why are you saying such sweet things all of a sudden? It's so embarrassing," Blue Silver Emperor stammered, her eyes wide and her hands fidgeting nervously.

"Ah Yin, I understand your feelings. I'm not completely clueless. You've been by my side for so long. Even though I'm blind, my heart isn't. How could I not know?" Lin Yongming said gently, taking Blue Silver Emperor's hand.

"You're just saying that," Blue Silver Emperor said, her voice trembling slightly. Then, unable to hold back, she threw herself into Lin Yongming's arms.

"But… I'm so happy to hear you say that," Blue Silver Emperor said, hugging Lin Yongming tightly.

Lin Yongming didn't say anything more. He simply wrapped his arms around Blue Silver Emperor and held her close.

Although Lin Yongming was only ten years old, he was already half a head taller than Blue Silver Emperor.

Feeling Lin Yongming's response, Blue Silver Emperor nuzzled against him and closed her eyes, savoring the moment.

Time seemed to stand still. The sea of flowers in the wetland park seemed to bless the two, as if the blossoms were turning toward them.

After what felt like an eternity, a cool breeze blew in from the nearby lake, cooling their heated hearts.

"Ah Yin, can you let go now? You're holding me so tight I can barely breathe," Lin Yongming said, breaking the silence.

Blue Silver Emperor's face turned red as she loosened her grip. "Nonsense! You're the one holding me too tight."

"Alright, it's me. I just want to hold you in the palm of my hand," Lin Yongming replied.

"Ugh… you're so annoying, always saying such sweet things. I'm ignoring you now," Blue Silver Emperor said, her cheeks still flushed. She quickly ran toward the lake.

She stopped at the railing by the lake, letting the wind cool her down.

Lin Yongming naturally followed and stood beside her, enjoying the breeze.

Then, he gently placed his hand over Blue Silver Emperor's.

"Let's sit for a while," Lin Yongming suggested, noticing a bench behind them.

"Okay," Blue Silver Emperor nodded.

They sat down on the bench, and Blue Silver Emperor leaned her head on Lin Yongming's shoulder, gazing at the rippling lake.

"Xiao Ming, why are you so sweet today?" Blue Silver Emperor asked.

"Sweet? You just said I was being annoying," Lin Yongming teased.

"Be serious," Blue Silver Emperor said, lightly tapping him.

"It's not sweetness. I'm just speaking from my heart," Lin Yongming said softly. "Ah Yin, you're not mad at me, are you?"

"Mad? Of course, I'm mad. But I'm too happy today to stay mad," Blue Silver Emperor replied. "But why did you suddenly become so smooth? It caught me off guard."

"I guess I just had a moment of clarity," Lin Yongming said.

"It was quite a moment. You've become such a smooth talker!" Blue Silver Emperor said, pretending to be annoyed.

"It's all because of you," Lin Yongming retorted.

"Hmph! When did I ever teach you that?" Blue Silver Emperor asked, confused.

"You did. You taught me to be sweet only to you."

"You're being annoying again! You deserve a smack!" Blue Silver Emperor lightly punched him. "Don't push your luck."

"Alright, Ah Yin," Lin Yongming quickly assured her.

"Good. Now, let me lean on you a little longer," Blue Silver Emperor said, resting her head on Lin Yongming's shoulder again.

Lin Yongming sat quietly, letting Blue Silver Emperor lean on him. "Ah Yin, I'll protect you."

At this moment, Lin Yongming finally let go of the lingering doubts from his past life. He felt a sense of clarity and relief, as if a long-suppressed demon had been released.

In that instant, Lin Yongming felt that he could break through to level 40 spirit power at any moment.

Suddenly, a wave of spirit power emanated from Lin Yongming's body before quickly subsiding. However, Blue Silver Emperor still noticed it.

"Xiao Ming, you broke through!" Blue Silver Emperor said, lifting her head from his shoulder.

"It seems… I did."

Lin Yongming hadn't expected his spirit power to suddenly increase, reaching level 40.
