She lifted her head, a flame burning within her Purple Crystal eyes:

"Master... does this feeling mean that... there is some kind of special... connection between us?"

Faced with this rather dangerous question, Ron chose the most cautious response:

"A deep Spiritual fusion can indeed produce a special... resonance.

But, we should adhere to the rational principles of a Wizard."

Upon hearing this relatively calm answer, the girl felt somewhat disappointed but was soon replaced by new determination.

"Of course... We should certainly view it rationally..."

She tried to make her voice sound calm:

"I just... just hope this experience can help you better restore your Spirit state..."

Eve stood up, tidying up her somewhat disordered skirt:

"It’s getting late... You should also need time to adapt to the experience just now... Let’s call it a day..."

The two walked out of the private Cultivation room and returned to the drawing-room.

Franka was already waiting there, her silver-gray eyes lingering on Ron for a moment, seemingly sensing something.

"Your Highness, dinner is ready."

The Half-dragon maid’s voice remained calm, but it contained some inquiry:

"Do you want to dine now, or first send Lecturer Ralph away?"

The question made Eve’s expression somewhat conflicted.

She clearly hoped Ron could stay for dinner but didn’t dare to appear too eager.

"I should head back." Ron offered: "Someone at home is waiting for me."

Upon hearing this, a clear disappointment flashed in Eve’s eyes.

She bit her lower lip, struggling to Control her emotions.

"Of course... Of course, you should go back..." She forced a smile:

"Then I... I’ll escort you to the door..."

At the door of the small building, Eve stopped, a plea in her Purple Crystal eyes:

"Master... today’s experience... please make sure to keep it confidential for me...

If this deep Spiritual fusion is known by Mother... it might cause unnecessary misunderstanding..."

"I understand." Ron nodded in promise.

"Then..." Eve’s voice became somewhat expectant:

"Next time when you return from the Observation station... If you need... I am always available for such... a massage..."

After seeing Ron off, Eve turned back into the small building.

Her steps were a bit unstable, her whole body was somewhat peculiarly heated.

"Your Highness." Franka followed behind her, a clear worry in her voice:

"Your condition today... seems somewhat..."

"I’m fine, Franka." Eve interrupted her somewhat urgently:

"Very good... Never been better..."

She quickly walked towards her private quarter, her voice filled with fervor:

"Today’s experience exceeded all my imagination... the feeling of Spiritual fusion... was so wonderful..."

Pushing open the bedroom door, Eve impatiently went to the wardrobe.

She needed to replace her set of undergarments made somewhat... sticky by the earlier Spiritual fusion.

Standing before the mirror, the girl slowly shed her long dress.

The reflection in the mirror was extremely beautiful, her skin looking particularly fair due to long-term Magic Power isolation.

At this moment, her fair skin was tinged with an unusual blush, showing the girl’s inner excitement.

"Why would I feel this way..." She gently caressed her chest, feeling her rapidly beating heart:

"When merging Spirits with him... the body also reacts specially..."

The Black-haired Princess walked to the bathroom, the warm water already prepared.

She slowly submerged into the warm water, but the inner heat could not be thereby calmed.

Closing her eyes, her mind continually flashed the beautiful feelings of merging Spirits with Ron just now.

"That feeling of being completely enveloped... that unprecedented sense of fulfillment..."

Eve’s hand began to drift in the water, instinctively searching for a way to ease this heat.

She had never experienced such sensation, but her body seemed to know what to do...

Water splashed softly, slight panting echoed in the bathroom.

In this private space, the Crown Clan’s Princess was learning how to deal with her inexplicable heat.

......

On the other side, Ron was inspecting his findings in the laboratory.

The "Eyes of True Wisdom" and "Eyes of Time" lay quietly on a silk cushion, each emitting subtle energy fluctuations.

He took out the silver iron wrench emblem from his bosom, gently stroking its surface intricate rune patterns.

As Spiritual Power touched the emblem, an unusual sense of space extension was immediately felt.

As if the consciousness was traversing countless light years.

The runes on the emblem surface began lighting up sequentially, each ray of light representing the connection gradually being established with Vinard’s Void Remains.

A moment later, a silver beam rose from the emblem, unfolding into a luminous projection mirror in the air.

The scene within the mirror made Ron hold his breath entirely.

It was nowhere in the Main World.

The sky presented a strange purplish-red hue, three irregular-shaped suns hung in different positions, dyeing the whole earth into mottled blood color.

More shocking was the surface’s landscape.

Countless hundreds of meters tall metal spires arose from the ground, each releasing blue and white energy beams at their peak.

These beams intertwined in the sky, forming complex geometric patterns, creating a massive energy network covering the planet.

At the center of this surreal landscape stood an unimaginably gigantic entity.

It was a colossal mechanical structure, its scale surpassing the concept of a building, more like a moving mountain.
