WARNING!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS SMUT!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK




"Wow, you've actualy matured Paimon. That's a shocker" - Aether

Aether chuckled with a smug grin on his face, 'Oh shoot, I think I showed too much'  Paimon thought since she always pretended to be naive. 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN PAIMON HAS MATURED!? Paimon has always been mature!! Hmph!!!" - Paimon

She quickly tried changing and covering it up but still manged to show some emotions of guilt of not being able to help him even after knowing everything he went through.

"Hehe, it was a joke Paimon, although thank you for showing sincerity" - Aether

Aether said but this time with a genuien smile pastered on his face, he slowly wrapped his hands around Paimon for always being like a little sister to him and always caring for him. Aether knew that despite how much she tried changing it, she cared for him...

Aether also sometimes felt like she was connected with him in some way... but he wasn't exactly sure how.

"Paimon forgives you and takes your 'thank you' as well!" - Paimon

A few seconds later Aether's stomach grumbled, his face flushed a little from embarrasment. 

"Oh? it seems you haven't had a meal yet, Traveler how about I treat you to one. It's on me this time" - Lady Ningguang

The traveler hesitated at first, but gave in as he didn't have much energy left to put up a fight 

"Alright then, follow me outside" - Lady Ningguang

As they sat and ate outside, the sky started to darken as the night lights were turned off one by one marking the start of the latern rite festival where as the people were preparing to see the lanterns light the dark starry night sky.

As Aether started to finish up his meal, he thanked Lady Ningguang for treating him and went to the top floor of Wangshu Inn.

He took a deep breath in.

"Xiao..." - Aether

The Traveler hoped that the Yaksha would come, after a few seconds of silence he started to walk towards the exit in dissapointment.

Just than, a strong gust of wind surged infront of him with a Yaksha holding a lantern in one hand, startled the Traveler lost his footing and tripped causing the Yaksha to swiftly catch him in one arm.

"Do you have a talent... for always falling for me?" - Xiao

The traveler got flushed seeing the Yaksha up so close reminding him of what happened earlier, he slowly got away and saw the slight smug grin on the Yaksha's face.

"I- you startled me!" - Aether

The Yaksha paused for a minute before teasingly saying

"How? I thought that you called for me, I was just a little late because I went to grab a lantern" - Xiao

The yaksha had truly become more and more shameless within a day, it even made Aether blush who never thought the Yaksha could do this.
