Under Renji's observation, Angel Devil unseasonably reached another peak.
Renji saw her pitiful, heartbroken appearance. He could no longer bear it. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.
Her.
What was life for? Wasn't it for moments like this? Seeing Angel Devil like this, he simply couldn't hold back.
So what if his lifespan was absorbed when he was with her? So what? As long as he wasn't directly drained to death, wasn't it enough if he was only left with ten years?
Even bolder, even if only five years were left, that was completely enough. Use five years to find another way. Completely enough.
"I say," Renji began, his voice casual, "this is a rare opportunity. Should we make love right here? You don't need to worry about the lifespan issue. I'll find a way to solve it later."
After he said this, Angel Devil looked as if she had heard the most ridiculous words since her birth. His reckless words caused a huge shock and impact deep within her, as if she had heard the most astonishing and unbelievable thing imaginable.
Her face instantly froze.
Her lips trembled slightly. A strange and inscrutable expression, neither smiling nor crying, crossed her face.
"Don't... Don't... Don't joke around! Idiot!" she finally managed. "You! Are you tired of living?! What on earth are you thinking?!"
Angel Devil didn't understand, but Renji's behavior was actually easy to explain.
The heart wants what it wants.
"Of course I want to live," Renji replied evenly. "So we can make it quick. Hmm... let's try having you absorb fifty years of my lifespan first. When the time comes, you stop me. I'll probably live to seventy-five, right? Eh? No, that's not right. My aging has stopped. But to be safe, let's absorb fifty years first."
Angel Devil gritted her teeth and yelled at him with all her might.
"You... You... Are you a pervert?! You're willing to throw away your life just to make love with me?! If you really suck my lifespan dry, I'll be killed by that woman Makima! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Damn... Damn it! Damn it! Why am I encountering such a thing?!"
"I... I knew getting involved with a man like you would lead to trouble," she continued, her voice cracking. "I... I hate troublesome things the most... I really hate them..."
"But... But... I can't stop..." Her voice dropped to a whisper, trembling. "My hands just can't stop! Being watched by a man like you... I actually feel even more comfortable when I... when I touch myself... I... I wouldn't be a big pervert too, would I... What... What should I do... I... I..."
Angel Devil's voice grew softer and softer, trembling, hating herself in her heart.
Renji looked at where her hands were. Indeed, although Angel Devil verbally expressed great reluctance, her body told a different story. She had already switched from one hand to two, and her movements spoke clearly of her enjoyment.
"When... When Typhoon Devil was there..." she whispered, her rhythm faltering. "I already made it so clear... You... Why did you still save me... I am a devil... I won't die... Even if I die... I..."
"You'll just reincarnate in Hell, right?" Renji finished, following her thought.
"In the true sense, devils don't die," he continued. "Even if they die and turn to ashes, as long as people fear their name, they will revive as another individual. Devils who die in Hell will revive in the human world. They just reincarnate back and forth like that."
"You... You know all that, so why... Why did you desperately save..."
Mid-sentence, Angel Devil suddenly understood. Understanding dawned on her face, followed by astonishment and disbelief.
For a moment, she even forgot about touching herself. She stopped, her hand extended, trembling slightly in mid-air. Her fingers pointed directly at Renji.
Renji could even see the evidence of her pleasure clinging to her fingers.
"So that's it...! So that's how it is!" she exclaimed. "I understand! Renji, you! Did you take a liking to me a long time ago?! Back when Typhoon Devil was there! Did you desperately save me just for today?! Did you want to make love to me a long time ago?!"
Renji sighed, a little saddened.
"I say, what's going on in your head?" he asked. "Are you the pervert? How could such a thing be possible? In such a life-and-death situation, how could my mind be on making love with you? At that time, I just wanted to save you. By the way." He shook his head. "So that's how you see me? To be honest... it's a bit... a bit hurtful."
He shook his head helplessly and continued.
"And if you really reincarnated to Hell, and then reincarnated back from Hell, would you still be you? Generally speaking, no one remembers being in their mother's womb. At most, there are some memory fragments."
"I saved you simply because I wanted to save you. The reason was already made very clear at the time. I didn't want to regret it in the future. For me, you are the Angel Devil now. Even if there are other Angel Devils in the future, they will never be you."
Renji stood up and rubbed his head, looking down at her with an expression she couldn't quite read.
"Alright, alright. Anyway, I get it. You don't want to, right?" Renji shrugged. "Well, there's nothing I can do. Just pretend I was joking. I'll wait for you somewhere else. Just call me when you're done."
After speaking, Renji was about to leave.
"Ren... Renji, wait... wait a minute!"
Angel Devil anxiously called out to him. Renji stopped again, turned around, and looked at her in confusion.
"Hmm? What is it now?"
"I..."
Angel Devil lowered her head, her hands unconsciously fiddling with the grass on the ground. She seemed a little nervous. She hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered the courage to look up at Renji.
But her gaze only met his for a fleeting moment before she quickly dodged away as if shocked. She no longer dared to make eye contact with him.
"I... everything I just said was out of anger..." Her voice was barely a whisper. "You... please don't take it to heart, okay? Actually, I didn't really think that way..."
Angel Devil's voice grew softer and softer, and her tone became increasingly gentle.
Looking at this cute yet awkward Angel Devil, Renji couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, it's fine. I can tell. Anyway, the misunderstanding is resolved. You can continue... doing what you were doing. I won't disturb you. I'm leaving."
With that, Renji was truly about to leave.
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Seeing that he was really leaving, Angel Devil quickly called out again.
Renji sighed helplessly and turned his head back again.
"Hmm... what is it this time?"
"I... I..."
Setting everything else aside, did Angel Devil want to be with Renji?
Of course, she did. In fact, she craved it. After their previous encounters, she would always dream of related things when she slept at night. Sometimes, when she woke up hot and flustered, she would find herself unable to stop thinking about him. This longing, since meeting Renji, was not new to her.
It was just that when Renji touched her, her body reacted so strongly. Angel Devil didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if they truly went further.
It was only due to various real-life factors, coupled with her own personality, that she deliberately kept her distance from Renji, saying she didn't want to.
If she really gave in...
Would she go crazy, right? Or die happy?
Now...
She was outside the barrier. If she did anything with Renji here... the people inside the barrier probably wouldn't discover it, right?
When this thought appeared in Angel Devil's mind... she could no longer suppress it.
"Renji... Renji, do you... do you really have a way... to solve the lifespan problem...?"
Angel Devil tried to stand up, but the situation was a bit awkward. After all, her clothing was somewhat disheveled, which made her movements appear especially clumsy and unnatural.
Due to her soft and weak body, coupled with her inner shyness and nervousness, she lost her balance as soon as she stood up. With a thud, her body fell back to the ground, her posture naturally shifting.
"If you can really solve it... then... then let's... be together now..." Her voice trembled. "But... but you must listen to me. I'll tell you when... and that's... that's when you stop... because my ability to absorb lifespan... it... it multiplies and stacks... it will get faster and faster..."
Angel Devil's face flushed crimson. Her luscious lips slightly parted, occasionally exhaling breaths of desire. Her captivating eyes shimmered with an unusual light, containing both unbearable agony and a hint of almost imperceptible joyful yearning.
Renji said nothing. He simply began to remove his clothing.
His form, having fully matured, was already poised and ready.
"Eh...?"
Angel Devil slightly raised her delicate face, staring at the sight before her. A hint of fear appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"This... this is..." She swallowed hard. "So... so big... This is too exaggerated... The smell... the smell is... so... so strong..."
He was so close to Angel Devil's face, barely a centimeter away. A strong, pungent scent washed over her, instantly filling her senses.
This smell was potent, almost overwhelming, yet...
When Angel Devil inhaled this scent, she felt no discomfort at all. On the contrary, a strange sensation welled up in her heart.
Angel Devil let out a low moan from her throat. Her body responded to the call, and the heat all over her body intensified.
She fell into a trance-like state, as if she were in a dream, beginning to feel light and ecstatic, unable to stop.
—Pffft!!!—
A wave of warmth washed over her, a physical response she couldn't control.
A notification sounded, distant and unimportant.
"P... please..." she breathed.
Angel Devil changed her posture. Her slender body leaned slightly backward, slowly tilting. She brought her long, straight legs together tightly, then raised them upward. Her upper body slightly turned to the side, and Angel Devil's hands moved instinctively.
Her body was open, eager, and calling out.
Because she had just reached a peak, she was already sensitive and ready.
"Ren... Renji..." Her voice was a breathless plea. "Please... I need you..."
Renji gripped Angel Devil's thighs and slowly pressed forward.
