Alaric Ye wasn't deceiving Feng Hongyi; he was a bit flustered himself, realizing that the soul resonance with Feng Hongyi couldn't be severed. He was completely passive in this situation, and the reason was simple: Feng Hongyi's Divine Soul was just too powerful, being at the late Great Ascension stage.
Even though Alaric Ye's Divine Soul strength was extraordinary, it couldn't possibly compare to someone at the late Great Ascension stage. Thus, this soul resonance was entirely dominated by Feng Hongyi, and Alaric Ye couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Feng Hongyi was also anxious. She had entered a deep soul resonance state, making her control over her physical body very weak, as if she were asleep. Even if she could lucid dream, she couldn't control her body in that state.
Just now, she noticed her body instinctively pressing her lips against Alaric Ye's and realized something was wrong. She subconsciously tried to sever the resonance but failed.
