Lumine and Paimon returned to their courtyard in the Serenitea Pot's valley. The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the Jade Chamber above.
"Lu Lin is probably staying at the Jade Chamber tonight, right? I wonder what he's doing. Let's go take a look!" Paimon suggested enthusiastically.
Lumine quickly shook her head.
Of course she knew what was happening up there. He had even shamelessly asked earlier whether she wanted to join.
Her heart had fluttered at the thought…
But in the end, she hadn't agreed. It was still too much for her.
"If someone's sleeping, why would you disturb them? I'm tired too. Let's rest early."
"Hmm… I just wanted to visit the Jade Chamber. But you're right — better go during the day."
In the Bath
Inside the steamy bathroom, three fair, graceful figures moved within the mist.
Ganyu braced herself against the bathtub edge, water rippling around her. Her qilin horns were held in Lu Lin's hands as he gently played with them.
"Looks like what Cloud Retainer said is true — you really loved having your horns touched when you were little."
Ganyu's delicate face flushed pink. She no longer had the strength to respond, only soft, breathy sounds escaping her lips.
They had come to bathe, but that didn't stop other matters.
Xiangling diligently scrubbed the two of them with a bath cloth, not neglecting her "duties," looking like a hardworking little maid.
As for Hu Tao, due to the effects of Empathic Link combined with Ganyu's Double Happiness, even though she wasn't the one directly involved, her sensations were just as intense. She clung weakly to the tub's edge, eyes closed in enjoyment.
More than twenty minutes later, as Xiangling finished scrubbing, Ganyu suddenly lifted her head. Her blue hair fluttered as if she were a celestial maiden about to ascend.
The sight struck Lu Lin deeply. He steadied her trembling form and let out a long breath.
After rinsing off again, the four returned to the large bed.
The Grand Battle
Now the benefit of the oversized bed was obvious — four people could move without constraint.
Xiangling, who had worked so diligently earlier, received her own "reward" from the Demon King.
Ganyu and Hu Tao lay nearby, recovering.
It was an intense battle.
The half-adeptus of Jueyun, the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and the Wanmin Restaurant chef took turns challenging the Demon King — yet all three were ultimately defeated, left utterly spent.
Hours passed.
The three beauties were exhausted.
Lu Lin, however, remained energetic.
"I can't anymore! Let's rest!" Even Hu Tao, the most spirited of them, began to beg for mercy.
She lay against his chest, her once modest curves now fuller — the system panel had already updated from A to B.
"How about today's nutritional meal?" Lu Lin teased, pinching her soft cheek.
"I'm too tired~ Let me rest a bit!" she whined adorably.
"If you won't, I'll let Xiangling have it~"
"I'll do it! Xiangling doesn't need it!" Hu Tao immediately clung to him protectively.
Ganyu looked confused.
Nutritional meal?
Then she watched Hu Tao slide downward and "finish" what had tormented them all night.
So that's what it meant…
She had learned something new again.
The so-called "nutritional meal" was exclusive to Hu Tao.
To avoid pregnancy, Lu Lin normally withdrew his life force — except when Hu Tao used her Silver Tongue trait. At those times, he allowed her to absorb life energy to help her develop.
Her growth from A to B was not accidental.
Xiangling didn't mind her own size and even came to "assist" using her own trait.
Under the dual effects, Lu Lin's experience peaked again.
He pulled Ganyu close, positioning her above him, savoring her sweetness until even that was not enough.
The night stretched on.
Lumine's Restless Night
Lumine didn't sleep well.
Having just tasted intimacy, she was at that stage where desire lingered.
Especially knowing that above her, in the Jade Chamber, a "multi-person battle" was happening — starring the man she loved.
The thought made her curious.
Curious about the scene.
Curious about being cherished too.
Just imagining it made her damp.
She tossed and turned.
She should have agreed earlier.
Eventually she drifted into a shy dream — he embraced her from behind…
Wait.
This didn't feel like a dream.
The familiar warmth enveloped her again.
Sleep vanished.
Security filled her heart.
She quickly activated her trait to block Paimon's hearing.
Lu Lin's hand explored familiarly — and found her already slick.
"Seems like you missed me."
"Mmm…" she hummed softly. "Weren't you upstairs with them?"
"They couldn't handle me and fell asleep. I guessed you'd miss me."
"You're that strong?"
Her doubt displeased him.
He moved closer and whispered lowly:
"Don't you know how strong I am?"
"Y-you… slower… P-Paimon is… still… here…"
The intensity made her stammer.
"She sleeps deeply. And besides, didn't you already block her hearing?"
His movements grew bolder.
Her sweet voice filled the room once more.
"So… am I strong?"
"…Very…"
