Chapter 34

Jing Tian accelerated his flight and soon returned to the Western Capital, landing in the courtyard. He entered the indoor garden by inputting the password for the inner courtyard, then headed straight for Bulma's room.

Pushing open the door, he saw Bulma at her workbench, wearing safety goggles and adjusting some parts. Jing Tian couldn't wait any longer and rushed forward to hug her from behind.

Bulma was startled, but relaxed when she saw it was Jing Tian. She leaned back, enjoying the embrace. She asked curiously, "How was it? How did your training at the temple go?"

Jing Tian straightened up, took off Bulma's goggles, and threw them on the table. He picked her up and carried her toward the bed, saying, "Something happened, I'll tell you slowly~."

Bulma, feeling uneasy, squirmed and playfully slapped Jing Tian's hand, which was still holding her. "What are you doing? My miniaturization watch is almost complete, don't you dare mess with me."

Jing Tian ignored her, gently placing Bulma on the bed. He then lay down beside her, turned to her side, and kissed her without a word.

"Mmm... You jerk, why are you so domineering," Bulma complained, though she was secretly delighted.

After a long, deep kiss, Jing Tian finally let her go as Bulma's breathing quickened.

Jing Tian then lay flat, pulling Bulma onto his body. He stroked her hair and looked into her watery eyes, saying, "I haven't seen my Bulma for over a year~ I missed you~."

Bulma, easily defeated by Jing Tian's "I missed you," buried her head in his chest, saying, "What do you mean over a year? It's only been a week. If you missed me, just say it. You can't even come up with a good excuse." Despite her words, she was very happy inside.

Jing Tian chuckled. Having thought things through during his training at the temple, he began to recount his journey in detail to Bulma.

Bulma listened quietly. When she heard that Jing Tian couldn't resist taking advantage of Launch, she angrily grabbed his arm and bit it, thinking she couldn't let him off the hook after he finished his story...

Then, when she heard Jing Tian explain his origin to the Supreme Kai, Bulma looked up in disbelief, her eyes wide with surprise.

Seeing Jing Tian lost in his memories, Bulma wisely didn't interrupt him and continued listening as he described his year-long training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and his successful breakthrough of his physical limits.

After a while, when Jing Tian finished his story, Bulma eagerly asked, "Is everything you said true? You're not lying to me?"

Jing Tian nodded, looking at Bulma with a complex expression. "I was hesitant at first and didn't plan to tell you so soon, but during my mental training at the temple, I realized that I love you. So I felt you had the right to know."

Jing Tian looked at Bulma's face apologetically. "Can you forgive me for not telling you sooner?"

Bulma didn't answer. She stared at Jing Tian for a while, then buried her head in his chest, murmuring, "Don't disturb me, I need to process all this information."

Jing Tian, helpless, wrapped his arms around Bulma's back and lay there, staring at the ceiling, his mind blank, thinking about something...

After a long time, Jing Tian was brought back to his senses by Bulma's voice.

"You mean you're from another world?"

"Yep!"

"Your dimensional space is a transfer station?"

Jing Tian nodded.

"You can go to other worlds?"

Jing Tian, unsure of Bulma's intentions, nodded again.

"One last question..." Bulma looked at Jing Tian seriously.

"Do you really like me?"

Hearing Bulma's question, Jing Tian nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I really like you. At first, I just wanted to use your radar to find the Dragon Balls, but as I spent more time with you, I started to like you because of your personality and your kindness. After living here for a year, I realized I had gotten used to having you around. I didn't notice it at first, but during my training at the temple, I thought of you more and more, and the feeling grew stronger. I realized I can't live without you. Even though I may not fully understand what love is, my feelings are genuine!"

Bulma's expression was complex as she listened to Jing Tian. After he finished, she continued, "I believe you, but as punishment for lying and deceiving me before, I want you to never attract other girls again. I want you to have only me for the rest of your life. Can you do that?"

Jing Tian, who had never been particularly interested in having multiple partners, nodded without hesitation. "Of course I can!"

Bulma, hearing his firm answer, didn't let him off the hook. "Are you sure? I don't want a temporary promise."

Jing Tian, a bit embarrassed, said, "I'm not sure if I can do it, but I'm certain that I'm not just saying this. I really mean it, and I'll do my best to make it happen."

Bulma, hearing Jing Tian's words, sighed helplessly, her body softening as she leaned on him. "I know that's impossible, but I just can't help feeling this way..."

Jing Tian felt guilty. Before he could say anything, Bulma, who was lying on his chest, suddenly sat up, straddling him, and grabbed his neck, shaking him violently and shouting, "You jerk, why didn't you tell me sooner? Why did you tell me the truth during our Dragon Ball quest? Why do you have to be so amazing? Jerk! I can't live without you now! Wahh..."

After saying she couldn't live without him, Bulma stopped shaking Jing Tian, her hands falling limply to her sides. She threw her head back and cried loudly...

Jing Tian, who had never seen Bulma like this, quickly sat up, hugging her, petting her head, kissing her, and making promises, trying to comfort her in a flustered and incoherent manner...

After two minutes, Bulma, whose crying had subsided, broke free from Jing Tian's embrace, grabbed his collar, and glared at him fiercely. "Listen up, you! You're not allowed to actively pursue other girls. I'm the boss at home! You have to listen to me about everything! If you have other women in the future, you must bring them back for me to see first. If I don't like them, they're not allowed in this house! Do you understand?!"

Hearing this, Jing Tian didn't dare say anything, quickly making vows and promises, and wondering to himself, "Why do I feel a bit excited...?"
