After accepting reality, Yae Miko, who could admit defeat gracefully, began to cooperate proactively with Lu Jingming, letting him truly and perfectly experience the legendary charm of a fox spirit.
Fox spirits were indeed born with a unique allure—even without much experience, just by relying on instinct, they could bring people to the heights of pleasure.
All that could be said was: for his very first time to be with Yae Miko, Lu Jingming was truly spoiled.
In the hot spring, the water rippled gently. The sound echoed in the narrow space, mingling with Yae Miko's beautiful, melodious moans, gradually drowning out the sound of their heavy breaths.
The entire atmosphere in the hot spring became increasingly pink and ambiguous in this sensual haze.
Outside the hot spring, Firefly stood quietly, her expression shifting, an indescribable complexity on her face.
She listened to the seductive sounds coming from the hot spring, her fingers gripping the emerald wing-transformer so tightly that her knuckles turned white and trembled slightly. Sometimes she squeezed, sometimes she relaxed, her heart full of unwillingness and her face tinged with embarrassment.
She had originally planned to sneak into the hot spring under cover of night and make her move.
Yet, out of shyness, she hesitated outside for ages, unable to muster the courage to take that critical step.
In the end, just as she finally made up her mind and approached the hot spring, the sounds she heard from within shattered her composure in an instant.
That familiar voice—she knew at once it was that seductress fox Yae Miko's—from the initial pained whimpers to the later cries of pleasure, every sound stimulated her, making her almost transform on the spot, wishing she could unleash a meteor strike and obliterate that hot spring.
This hot spring was artificial, with the outermost perimeter closely guarded by the Golden Guards. Only the inner circle of the City Lord's Mansion could come and go freely.
Because of this, there were no soundproofing soul devices installed, meaning Firefly could hear everything inside with perfect clarity. How could she not feel stifled, especially since she had come here first?
Sparks flared around Firefly as she struggled to suppress her urge to rush in.
But standing outside and listening was pure torture—like a thousand ants crawling across her heart.
Eventually, Firefly could bear it no longer. She stomped her foot in frustration, then turned into a dazzling streak of fire, shooting off like a meteor into the distance.
Moments later, on a distant mountain peak, a pillar of fire soared skyward, followed by a deafening boom as rocks tumbled and collapsed.
Clearly, the mountain had become Firefly's target for venting her frustration.
After Firefly left, Castorice's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
She, too, could clearly hear the lingering sounds from the hot spring. The sounds drilled into her ears, making her cheeks flush.
A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes as she quietly blamed herself for hesitating too long.
Now it was all too late—she had arrived after someone else had already seized the initiative.
Castorice felt a pang of regret. She should have used one of her two wishes to have Lu Jingming come to her directly.
But she was simply too shy. The words had circled in her mouth countless times but had never made it out.
Just coming near the hot spring had used up all her courage. As for interrupting—or even joining in—she couldn't even imagine doing that.
Thinking of this, Castorice showed a disappointed look, silently turning to leave.
"So it ended up like this!" Jinhsi stood quietly on a hilltop, having watched both Firefly and Castorice's every move.
She had long suspected Firefly and Castorice's intentions and guessed the two would take action tonight.
She just hadn't expected a wildcard to appear—someone as formidable as Yae Miko.
"Hesitation means defeat. Teacher was right after all!"
Jinhsi murmured to herself. She had no intention of getting involved—she was simply curious to see who would claim victory in this competition.
After all, hints of such rivalry had already appeared during the previous battle royale event.
But she really hadn't expected Firefly and Castorice to be so indecisive, hesitating for half the night before coming over, only to find the opportunity already lost. By the time they arrived, Yae Miko had already endured who knows how many rounds with Lu Jingming.
"Sure enough, tonight was destined to be lively—after all, it's Xiao Ming's birthday!" Robin strode over lightly, coming to Jinhsi's side.
She hugged her knees, quietly sitting on the ground, gazing up at the sky to watch the dreamy meteor shower above.
Those meteors, like scattered stars, streaked across the sky as if telling the untold stories of this night.
…
The night passed quietly, and Lu Jingming, on this special birthday, received a truly remarkable birthday present—a certain mischievous fox spirit, usually sly and black-bellied, had gifted herself to him.
The next morning, the messy room bore witness to last night's heated battle.
Clothes were strewn everywhere: white stockings, black stockings, fishnet tights scattered in every corner. Every trace spoke of the wild and passionate night before.
After their intense tryst in the hot spring, Lu Jingming, unable to contain himself, carried Yae Miko and used Key of Infinity ability to transfer them directly to her room.
There, he eagerly took out all sorts of distinctive uniforms he had prepared in advance, his eyes full of anticipation and desire as he signaled for Yae Miko to try them on.
Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan, Xu Jiujiu, and Keqing were all about the same size as Yae Miko, so even without costumes tailored for her, she could still wear them.
At that time, Yae Miko—her body and heart utterly captivated by Lu Jingming after being betrayed by Raiden Shogun—completely let loose.
Faced with Lu Jingming's various requests, not only did she not resist, she cooperated enthusiastically, showing off her seductive charm. At times, she even took the initiative, vying for dominance and enjoying herself to the fullest.
It's worth mentioning that Lu Jingming and Yae Miko were both far from ordinary people: their strength and physical qualities were well beyond the norm.
This relentless contest lasted the entire night.
Even more crucially, Lu Jingming possessed the Black Abyss White Flower, which let him recover his physical state, ensuring he was always full of energy and had no fear of being defeated by Yae Miko.
At first, Yae Miko was confident she could control the pace. But thanks to Lu Jingming's cheat-like recovery, he ultimately overwhelmed her.
By the end, even with Yae Miko's Title Douluo-level physique, after several climax and a whole night of strenuous battle, she was utterly spent and had to beg for mercy.
Lu Jingming, however, was still unsatisfied, even claiming that he could keep going for three days and nights.
If not for Yae Miko's firm refusal—and the fact that going at it for three days straight was just too absurd—Lu Jingming, having tasted the pleasure, might really have kept her locked away for three days, never leaving the room.
Gazing at the sleeping Yae Miko, beautiful as a fairy tale princess, Lu Jingming was filled with tenderness.
He gently moved her snow-white jade arm from atop his body and tucked it under the covers as softly as he could, afraid to make a sound and wake the utterly exhausted Yae Miko.
At this moment, her pink hair was slightly disheveled, her delicate face showing a hint of fatigue yet radiating a soft beauty. It was hard to associate her with the cunning, mischievous Yae Miko of daily life.
Aside from occasionally helping Changli manage Haiyuan City's affairs, Yae Miko also pursued her own hobby—she had opened a light novel publishing house in Haiyuan City, called Yae Publishing House.
At first, the natives of Douluo Continent knew nothing about light novels, this entirely new literary form.
But under Yae Miko's careful guidance, some people did manage to create quite attractive light novels.
For example, "The Story I Have to Tell with the God of Love" used a romantic fantasy plot to depict a touching entanglement between the lead and the God of Love.
Stories of love between gods and mortals attracted countless teenagers and won their hearts.
Another, "Reborn as the Sea God: Grudges and Feuds with Spirit Hall", was written by someone who had only heard of Tang San, the Sea God. The story had the protagonist reborn as the not-yet-deified Sea God Tang San and entering a series of thrilling adventures against Spirit Hall.
Lu Jingming, curious, read this novel too—but the author had only heard of the Sea God Tang San's legend and knew nothing of the true history from ten thousand years ago. Most characters were made up, and Spirit Hall was depicted as utterly evil.
For others, this was an extremely appealing novel—after all, the protagonist was reborn as Douluo Continent's legendary figure, Tang San. In a world where novel literature was not yet developed, such a premise was both bold and fresh.
But to Lu Jingming, it was not that interesting. He had been spoiled by far more novels in his previous life.
Besides, the author had written Tang San as a saint and Spirit Hall as pure evil, which made Lu Jingming shake his head.
