The flame in the lamp curled and swayed in the cozy room, casting an orange reflection on a young pair. Under constant watch, they must not dwell on lengthy conversations.
Adjusting their body position, they tugged back into a torrent of chastising kisses. Putting the truth aside, they distracted themselves by going through every sentence that captured their interest, enjoying the hypnotizing joy at the same time.
Ru Quan mused inwardly, 'She just got to know that she was a psychotic killer, and the first thing she asked was if she was my concubine? She shrugged it off as if killing was something she did on a regular basis... Is she trying to intimidate the other host? Because we all know, that this woman can't even strike a chicken.'
'Was I under his command in the past live for him to be so chill about me killing half of his harem? Because, wouldn't a normal person seek revenge? I got it; he wants me to pretend to be his little monster.'
Their thoughts didn't match. Nonetheless, it left them guessing about each other's intentions. Even though they never said it aloud, they knew that there was this undeniable force, pulling them closer.
"One last time," Ru Quan made a statement as he locked their mouths for the n-th time. It was nothing wild. He didn't want to repeat what that little boy did and lose control over himself.
He changed his mind the moment she asked for more. "Or not," he kissed her again. Her progress was such a pleasant surprise. "I thought I'd have to wait for five years or something," he pecked her silly grin, "The other system left."
"Isn't it great? I spared us from all the courting ♪♫." The only people Bing Shi allowed to see Kuro were Hasan and Ren Han, aka Xuan Mu's soul. Doing a few experiments with Ren Han, Bing Shi wanted Kuro to familiarize itself with his soul, but Kuro had no such skills.
The progress between Bing Shi and Ru Quan was so fast that they started to doubt everything. Especially Bing Shi, who was afraid that HQ was using Xuan Mu as an experiment. All these supernatural things made her question Xuan Mu's existence in the mission worlds. She was becoming overly suspicious and paranoid, and it was backstabbing her at the worst moment possible.
'~ Since when could Ru Quan see Kuro?'
'Definitely not from the first day.'
'~It's HQ's doing. '
'No, they are much more simple and too busy for such mind games. '
'~ Another Host? '
'I'd have puked on him. '
'~ It has to be some witchcraft. Maybe he activated an item from the system shop. '
'Yup. Definitely.'
["Kuro, do all hosts have access to the same system shop?"]
[No.]
'I have to find out how long it takes for the effect to drop. '
"You still didn't learn how to shut them off during times like this?" Ru Quan licked her lips when he stopped being her center of attention, something he used to do a lot as her boyfriend.
"No..." Bing Shi shook her head, perplexed with her own reactions, "Xua..."
He hastily invaded her mouth with his tongue, tangling it around hers, taking in this new yet familiar flavor. What an extraordinary place to get lost in. He felt magic in his bones. Affection swirled by his skin as this woman wrapped him in the softest devotion he'd ever known.
