"Hmph... Don't get too carried away!"
Yae Miko could tell Qin Yu was teasing her, and she rolled her eyes.
She should be grateful to the fox lady for the reward.
But now...
She was being teased?
"Grateful?"
Qin Yu, still embracing Miko, spoke unhurriedly.
He wasn't in a rush to taste the fox's flavor immediately.
Since the prey was already within his grasp, the rest would be simple.
He could play with her slowly.
Thinking this, he slowly lowered his head.
The fox lady's scent was intoxicating.
"Hoo."
Qin Yu blew a puff of air.
"..."
He watched her fox ears twitch instinctively and smiled silently.
What a cute reaction.
"Guuji-sama, how do you want me to show my gratitude?"
Qin Yu asked playfully.
"Of course, by kneeling down and kissing this Guuji's...!"
Yae Miko didn't back down, glancing provocatively at Qin Yu.
Wasn't this a common trope in light novels?
"Heh, take your time."
Qin Yu's gaze swept over the beauty's slender feet, his lips curling into a slight smile.
It wasn't time yet.
After all, the most delicious dishes were saved for last.
The ones who came before couldn't escape, and neither could you.
But before that...
"I'm coming now."
"Dawdling around, are you even a man?"
"It seems you're quite eager."
"Hmph."
Their hushed whispers gradually merged.
Faintly, suppressed tremors accompanied them.
Finally—
"Mwah."
Qin Yu gently kissed Miko's smooth shoulder.
"!"
The fox lady tilted her long, graceful neck and bit her lip.
A tingling sensation spread throughout her body.
...So comfortable.
Qin Yu blinked, not releasing his hold.
Unlike his usual gentle kisses.
This time, he opened his mouth and enveloped a large patch of skin.
So moist.
...
Qin Yu's actions grew bolder.
He even extended his tongue...
Finally, the fox lady erupted.
"You insatiable fellow, are you done kissing?"
She directly lifted her long leg and stomped on Qin Yu.
"Mmph—"
With a soft pop, Qin Yu finally released his mouth.
The fox lady's shoulder was already flushed red.
The light bite marks, still moist, were incredibly alluring.
"Are you ready to face this Guuji's wrath?"
Yae Miko turned around to face Qin Yu.
She stared at the trace of moisture on Qin Yu's lips, her eyes dangerous.
Her True Sight manifested.
"Heh, don't rush."
Facing Miko, who was crackling with electricity, Qin Yu smiled.
Sorry, he now possessed the authority of the Electro Archon.
Ordinary lightning techniques held no fear for him.
More importantly...
"Guuji-sama, you didn't seem to specify."
"That this kiss had a time limit, did you?"
Qin Yu smiled like a villain.
He had found a loophole in the fox lady's words.
"Oh?"
Yae Miko's purple eyes narrowed, a playful arc forming on her lips.
Interesting.
Would he dare to try again, given another chance?
"Just kidding."
Qin Yu looked at Miko, whose body was shimmering with purple energy, and quickly changed his tune.
It wouldn't be fun if he kissed her back like this.
Thinking this, he took out a handkerchief.
He considerately wiped away the marks.
Hmm, the bite marks would take some time to heal.
"What about the Yasakani Magatama's techniques?"
Yae Miko's expression softened slightly as she crossed her arms.
Good, you know your place.
But soon...
"I forgot to mention, close-proximity guidance is also required."
Qin Yu dropped the pretense and became even more audacious.
...
Finally, Qin Yu grasped her soft little hand once more.
"What do you need me to do?"
Miko looked at Qin Yu's serious expression, curiosity evident.
She had heard it was a power from the stars.
A talent that could enhance the Yasakani Magatama's power and range.
Even the Grand Guuji had never heard of it.
"Relax, don't move."
Qin Yu said with utmost seriousness, secretly amused.
Activate the constellation, just one touch needed.
But... could he let the fox lady off so easily?
"Mhm."
Yae Miko nodded slightly.
Then, she watched as Qin Yu leaned in.
Embracing her from behind again.
"?"
"This is also part of the plan."
Qin Yu lightly sniffed Miko's floral scent and smiled.
"Do you think I'd believe that?"
The fox lady's purple eyes narrowed, seeing right through Qin Yu.
Heh, men.
"Alright, no more jokes."
Qin Yu's fingertips glowed with light and merged into Miko's body.
He was going to illuminate the first two tiers of her constellation.
...
The light gradually brightened, enveloping the two figures who were close.
"Such a peculiar sensation."
Miko closed her eyes and murmured.
She leaned back, resting gently in Qin Yu's embrace.
Let her savor this warmth for a while longer.
After all, there was plenty of time.
Just as Miko was immersed in the comfort of her new ability.
"..."
Qin Yu quietly opened his eyes and admired the side profile of the beauty in his arms.
So beautiful.
He smiled, his heart full.
"From now on, I am the one who can gaze upon you."
Qin Yu leaned into Miko's ear and said earnestly.
"Then where do you place my god?"
The fox lady's lips curved into a playful smile, teasing him deliberately.
"That's different."
Qin Yu brushed aside her hair, admiring her perfectly curved back.
Besides, they would be bathing in the hot springs together sooner or later... cough.
Qin Yu was getting a little carried away.
"Alright, this Guuji accepts."
The fox lady's tone softened slightly, her reply earnest.
Meeting Qin Yu was her good fortune.
And it was also quite interesting, wasn't it?
Thinking this, her fox ears twitched.
"..."
Qin Yu's gaze was drawn to her playful fox ears.
Finally, a bold thought surfaced in his mind.
He opened his mouth and slowly approached her fox ear.
Before Miko could react—
"Om nom."
He took a bite.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Miko froze entirely and suddenly opened her eyes.
Her ears...!
"Mmph, thank you for the meal."
Qin Yu mumbled indistinctly.
The fox ears were delicious, just a bit numb.
Wait, numb?
The fox lady in his arms was engulfed in purple energy.
"Thunder... Blossom!"
...
After the chaos.
The fox lady kicked Qin Yu in the backside.
A slight flush remained on her cheeks.
As if she had just undergone a rigorous workout, she panted softly.
"Sorry, my bad."
Qin Yu raised his hands in surrender.
Even with fox fur in his mouth,
He'd do it again next time.
"You incorrigible fellow, I should send you to the shrine as a shrine maiden."
Yae Miko smiled kindly.
She enjoyed training shrine maidens the most.
"Ahem, perhaps not."
Qin Yu felt a chill down his spine and quickly tried to appease the fox lady.
They still had hot springs to share in the future.
...
After a period of appeasement.
Miko glanced at him.
Her eyes still held a trace of surprise.
"This power is truly miraculous."
The Yasakani Magatama had truly transformed.
"Of course."
Qin Yu's heart stirred, and he smiled again.
"You adapt for now, I'm going out for some air?"
Right, he needed to check on Columbia's situation.
"Go ahead."
Yae Miko didn't think much of it, focusing on the changes in her techniques.
"..."
Qin Yu quietly exited the tent and flexed his fist.
Excellent, no disasters so far!
He quickly entered the small grove, taking a shortcut towards Columbia's tent.
As long as he reached that place...!
Just as Qin Yu was about to see the dawn of victory.
"Yu, what are you doing?"
A cool voice sounded from behind him.
Qin Yu, the man, turned to stone.
It was the voice of the supreme leader!
