Qing'er's eyes were fixed on Lin Feng's, searching for any sign of the man she once knew. But as she looked into his eyes, she saw something that made her question everything.
The power of the Azure Emperor's Seal had changed Lin Feng, had elevated him to a level beyond human comprehension. And yet, despite the changes, Qing'er could still see a glimmer of humanity in his eyes.
"Lin Feng," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "Can you hear me?"
Lin Feng's eyes locked onto hers, and he smiled. "I can hear you," he said. "But I'm not sure if I'm still Lin Feng."
Qing'er's heart skipped a beat as she heard his words. She knew that Lin Feng was struggling to maintain his sense of self, to hold on to his humanity in the face of the overwhelming power of the seal.
"You're still Lin Feng," she said, her voice firm. "You're still the same person I've come to know and care about."
Lin Feng's eyes seemed to cloud over, his expression twisting in a mixture of confusion and pain. "I don't know," he said. "I feel like I'm losing myself, like I'm becoming something else entirely."
Qing'er took a step forward, her hand reaching out to touch Lin Feng's arm. "You're not alone," she said. "I'm here with you, and I'll help you through this."
As she touched his arm, Qing'er felt a surge of energy flow through her body. The power of the seal was intense, and it was affecting her in ways she couldn't understand.
But despite the danger, Qing'er refused to back down. She knew that Lin Feng needed her, and she was determined to help him navigate this new reality.
Together, they explored the boundaries of the seal's power, testing the limits of what was possible. And as they did, Qing'er began to realize the true extent of Lin Feng's abilities.
He was no longer human, not in the classical sense. He was something more, something powerful and terrifying. And yet, despite the danger, Qing'er couldn't help but feel drawn to him.
As they stood together, bathed in the glow of the seal's power, Qing'er knew that she had to make a choice. She could try to bring Lin Feng back to reality, to help him regain his sense of self.
Or she could stay with him in this new reality, exploring the possibilities and facing the dangers that came with it.
The choice was hers, and hers alone. And as she looked into Lin Feng's eyes, she knew what she had to do.
"I'll stay with you," she said, her voice firm. "I'll face whatever comes next, as long as you're by my side."
Lin Feng's eyes locked onto hers, and he smiled. "Then let's see what this new reality has in store for us," he said.
As they spoke, the energy around them began to build, the power of the seal surging to new heights. Qing'er felt herself being drawn into it, felt herself becoming one with the power.
And as she looked into Lin Feng's eyes, she knew that she was ready for whatever came next.
