"Yumo’s buns... if they were a bit bigger... it would be even more fun to play with, hehe~"

"..."

Listening to the unconsciously spoken sleep talk of the silver-haired girl, Yumo’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, she vigorously shook her head, revealing a determined look once again.

"Tsk... who cares about size... I couldn’t care less... They’re just a couple of troublesome fat blobs..."

’You arrogant brat’

’Don’t think having a big chest is something impressive’

’Keep showing off’

’Sooner or later, I’ll deflate you, suck you dry...’

Yumo muttered fiercely in her heart.

While muttering, her fingertips, containing a certain amount of Shadow power, slowly approached the silver-haired girl’s forehead. To help the Girl of Destiny recover from this strange state as quickly as possible, Yumo planned to replenish her with enough energy in one go.

However,

Just as Yumo’s fingertip was about to touch Mengxi’s brow,

"Hmm?!"

Under Yumo’s slightly bewildered gaze, the half-asleep silver-haired girl seemed to have sensed the sweet aroma gathering on her fingertip. She abruptly raised her hand and grabbed Yumo’s wrist. Without a second thought, she put Yumo’s slender index finger into her mouth.

"Huh?!"

Yumo’s first reaction was concern, fearing that Mengxi, in her dazed state, might bite her finger directly. It would be a shame if she knocked out a few teeth...

However,

When she realized that her finger could only feel the warmth of soft flesh and the gentle touch of a tongue, she let out a sigh of relief. As her tension eased, a blush colored her charming face. No matter how you looked at it, having someone suck on your finger like this was rather embarrassing...

However, after hesitating for a moment, Yumo ultimately chose not to pull her finger out.

After all,

Mengxi seemed to have said something about it earlier. The effect of absorbing the Shadow energy with her little mouth was better than using her skin. That’s why, in the forest, in the Wind City, and inside the tent, this cheeky brat preferred to misbehave on her body with her mouth rather than her hands...

Besides, she wasn’t biting any other places. It’s just a finger...

So Yumo decided to let her continue.

With such thoughts in mind, Yumo ultimately chose to let go of her concerns. She allowed the silver-haired girl to freely play with her finger while gently patting Mengxi’s back with her other hand, soothing the Girl of Destiny like a child.

As it turned out, using her mouth was indeed more efficient. The adequate amount of Shadow energy that had gathered at the tip of Yumo’s finger was quickly absorbed by Mengxi. In just a few short minutes, she had absorbed more than what she did in the previous ten minutes. As this substantial amount of energy flowed into her body, Mengxi’s restless agitation was completely calmed, and her amethyst-colored eyes, filled with a mysterious pink allure, finally regained their brilliance.

’Emm... I wonder, would it be even more efficient if I used my mouth instead of my finger?’

Yumo couldn’t help but ponder this.

Finally, after giving a reluctant lick or two, Mengxi slowly parted her rosy lips and released Yumo’s finger.

"Um~ Good evening, Yumo"

"You’re finally awake?"

"Yes, Yumo~"

Saying so, after rubbing her drowsy eyes, Mengxi slowly climbed up from Yumo’s thigh and stretched lazily. However, just as she finished stretching, she immediately moved closer to Yumo, affectionately embracing her arm and resting her little head on Yumo’s shoulder, leaving Yumo somewhat speechless.

"Haven’t you absorbed enough?"

"I have."

"Then why did you come over here?"

"Because sister Yumo’s body is so soft, and it feels comfortable to snuggle... Besides... it’s been a while since I snuggled with you. Let me continue hugging you~"

Mengxi blinked her watery, beautiful eyes and gave Yumo a slightly pleading look, which met Yumo’s crimson gaze. And, as usual, Yumo had a soft heart. After sighing, she nodded slightly:

"Fine, do as you please..."

"Hehe, thank you, Yumo~"

"But... honestly... it’s quite bizarre that you, the Girl of Destiny, have to stay awake by absorbing Shadow power... And how can you absorb Shadow energy? Doesn’t that conflict with the divine power within you?"

"Well, I don’t really know about that."

As they continued to hold hands, Mengxi twirled her fingers through Yumo’s beautiful black and crimson gradient hair. She shook her head, somewhat resigned:

"I only discovered this ability by sheer chance during a mission to defeat Abyssal Demons. As for why I have this power... I really don’t know."

"Do your companions know about it?"

"Companions? If you mean the people in the Church, they indeed have no idea. I’m afraid they wouldn’t take it well... Besides, there are some folks who might exploit this situation. Right now, in this world... you, Yumo, are the only one who knows about this."

Hearing this, Yumo felt a slight satisfaction.

"Not telling them might be for the best... to avoid unnecessary complications."

"Yeah."

"You should focus on your training and aim to reach the eighth level as soon as possible. That’s the only way to completely control these unusual reactions."

"I understand. But... before that, I’ll need Sister Yumo’s continued cooperation."

"Yes, I’ll keep my word. I’ll assist you in your training to reach the eighth level quickly. When you experience withdrawal symptoms, I’ll cooperate with you to suppress them."

While Yumo couldn’t quite grasp why Mengxi could absorb Shadow energy, the fact that she could grow stronger by absorbing her power was undeniable. Since her original purpose was to make Mengxi, the female lead, stronger, she didn’t mind providing her with her energy. Moreover, sometimes it induced a state similar to ’Out of status ’ which didn’t seem to have any downsides.

"Also, I want to remind you, you little troublemaker"

"Hmm? What’s the matter?"

"When I help you control the restlessness within your body, you can’t behave recklessly like you did last time."

"Last time? Do you mean... the time when I kissed your little mouth and held your small cherry?" Mengxi asked mischievously.

"Yes..."

Yumo nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Although I allowed you to cuddle, there are certain things you can’t do without permission. I would get angry if you did..."

"Oh, I see... So, does that mean if Yumo allows it, it’s okay?"

"Yes... um... not exactly... um... just try to restrain yourself a bit. Don’t get carried away like last time. You are the Girl of Destiny, and you’re supposed to be the savior of the world. It’s better to have a more dignified appearance."

"I see. I understand. But... Yumo..."

"Yes?"

"If~"

With a playful tone, Mengxi leaned closer to Yumo’s ear and lightly bit the girl’s earlobe:

"If Sister wants it, you have to say so~ I’ve learned a lot of new tricks recently, and I can make Sister very comfortable~"

"You... you little rascal..."

In response to Mengxi’s words, Yumo couldn’t help but shoot her a slightly annoyed glance, and without reservation, she teased her with a playful tone:

"You naughty girl, always so mischievous..."

"Hehe~"

After recovering from the momentary discomfort, Mengxi, while rubbing her forehead, chuckled playfully:

"Oh, by the way, sister Yumo, can you close your eyes for a moment?"

"Close my eyes? What are you up to now?"

Saying this, Yumo immediately crossed her arms over her chest and adopted a cautious expression, leaving Mengxi with a somewhat perplexed tilt of the head:

"Geez you say I’m mischievous, but look at you... I’m not planning anything naughty."

"Hmm... really?"

"Yeah, so, please do what I say"

"Well... alright..."

Facing the silver-haired girl who looked as harmless as a bunny, Yumo eventually closed her eyes as requested. Silently, she felt Mengxi’s delicate fingers lift her hair, brushing against her neck and earlobes in a series of movements...

...

...

Time passed slowly, and several minutes later, Mengxi’s voice filled with accomplishment tone finally reached Yumo’s ears:

"You can open your eyes now"

Upon hearing this, Yumo slowly opened her eyes. What she saw first was her own reflection in a mirror. However, unlike before, there was now a pair of exquisitely crafted butterfly-shaped earrings hanging from her petite and fair right earlobe. The elegant silver-white exterior shell and the deep blue gem in the center complemented each other perfectly, creating a gorgeous and elegant charm.

The butterfly-shaped earrings, crafted from Soul Silver, were exquisite and lifelike, while the central blue sapphire shimmered like starlight reflecting on the ocean, emitting a cold and sharp brilliance. It also exuded a feeling of quiet and steady elegance, as if it possessed a mysterious power.

As Yumo delicately touched the intricate earrings, she blinked in a somewhat stunned manner:

"This... this is..."

"This? It’s a little gift I made with a ’Sea King’s Jewel,’ a sapphire, given the name ’Ocean Butterfly,’ for my beloved Yumo~. Your little ear is so beautiful, and I thought it would be a shame not to decorate it a bit. Do you like it?"

Despite her usual disinterest in jewelry, when Yumo learned that this was an earring personally crafted by Mengxi, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

"Yes... I like it."

"Hehe, as long as you like it~"

Mengxi wore a satisfied smile and immediately hugged Yumo’s neck from behind, snuggling affectionately against the girl’s petite face:

"But, Yumo"

"Yes?"

"Now that you’ve accepted my gift, you belong to me from now on, okay? No wandering hearts~"

"You little brat..."
