Chapter 908: My Wings Prepare a Huge Surprise for Me
Ren leaned back, the holographic interface of the dimensional Chat Group casting a soft blue glow across his face. He tapped the air, sending a single, direct message to the main channel.
[Ren: Are you willing to become my familiars?]
The responses were instantaneous.
[Chito: Yes!]
[Luo Hao: Husband, I am willing.]
[Kisara Tendou: Emmm, you're asking a meaningless question. We are already yours, so what's the difference with being a familiar?]
[Tsunade: Indeed.]
[Nefertari Vivi: But it seems there are still some people in the group who aren't Ren's, huh.]
[Misaki Shokuhou: I think it's just a matter of time. Ren-kun will make his move sooner or later.]
[Shuvi: Does Shuvi need to bring them to Brother Ren's bed?]
[Emma: Eh?]
[Durandal:...]
[Seitenshi: Ugh, it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extent. Maybe some people are more... shy?]
[Aqua: Hmph, who wants to be his? Nya nya nya~]
[Sylvia: Ahem, why don't we discuss other matters first?]
On the other side of the screen, Sylvia's cheeks burned. She certainly harbored deep affection for Ren, but her pride demanded a proper, romantic date before jumping straight into his bed—or his familiar roster.
[Ais Wallenstein: Becoming a familiar... I am Loki's familiar...]
[March 7th: Oh right, Ais's world has gods, and she's a familiar of that god named Loki.]
[Kiana Kaslana: That shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, Ren is much more powerful than the gods in their world now.]
[Ren: No problem, these are two separate matters. The key is that by becoming a familiar, you gain a direct pathway to greater power.]
He had recently integrated a new function into the Chat Group's architecture. By accepting the familiar pact, the girls could passively and actively increase their strength simply by completing designated familiar tasks. It was a flawless system upgrade.
[Ais Wallenstein: Okay.]
[Ding! Ais Wallenstein has become a familiar.]
That single acceptance triggered an avalanche. The system log blurred with rapid-fire updates.
[Ding! Kiana Kaslana has become a familiar.]
When the cascade of notifications finally slowed to a halt, Ren scanned the roster. Only one holdout remained.
[Shiroyasha: Hey, I don't mind becoming your familiar, but you have to deal with my side of things first.]
[Ren: Heh, I'll go to Little Garden even if you don't tell me.]
Ren swiped the main chat away. Little Garden was already on his itinerary. In fact, every single world connected to the group was. The Chat Group's passive point generation had carried him far, but it could no longer sustain his current tier of power. To break through his limits, he needed to explore these dimensions personally.
His instincts screamed that the secret to his next promotion lay in the very fabric of these worlds. It was the only logical reason why entities like the Lord of Transcendence dispatched their own familiars to invade other realities. World-tier energy was the ultimate currency.
Switching tabs, Ren opened the local communication network tied to his original world.
[Ren: Chito, invite Aunt Sayuri and the others in.]
[Chito: Oh, okay!]
A few seconds later, the group list refreshed. A flood of familiar avatars populated the screen.
[Kaguya Shinomiya: Chat Group? Is this something Ren created?]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: Ren, how are you?!]
[Ren: I'm very well now. Sorry for making you worry.]
[Yumiko Miura: You finally know you made us worry, huh! If Ria hadn't told us some things, we would have been anxious for these hundred days!]
[Utaha Kasumigaoka: Indeed, Mi-chan cried several times.]
[Eriri Spencer Sawamura: Uh, weren't you the one crying?]
[Utaha Kasumigaoka: Shut up!]
[Sayuri Sawamura: Alright, alright. In short, it's enough that everyone knows Ren is safe and sound now.]
[Marin Kitagawa: Ren-kun, when are you planning to come back? Everyone misses you.]
[Yuzuru Nishimiya: Exactly! My sister misses you very much, come back quickly!]
[Shouko Nishimiya: Ugh, Yuzuru and Mom too...]
[Yaeko Nishimiya:...]
Ren smiled, the warmth of their messages easing the lingering tension in his shoulders.
[Ren: Yes, I'll go back once I've handled things here. I miss you all too.]
[Haruno Yukinoshita: Really? But how did we hear from Ria that you had a great time with hundreds of thousands of women during these hundred days?]
[Artoria Pendragon: I didn't! I just said... I just listed the strange things Ren encountered! I didn't say he had a great time!]
[Miyuki Yukinoshita: Haruno, don't exaggerate things.]
[Haruno Yukinoshita: Alright, alright, I was wrong~ Ren-kun, you'll forgive me, right? If you don't forgive me, I'll just have to send Little Yukino and Mother to you all washed up~]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: Huh???]
[Miyuki Yukinoshita:...]
[Ren: Alright, alright. It's true that things got wild, but I didn't stop thinking about you just because of them. You are all my wings.]
[Ai Hayasaka: Sigh, Ren-kun is still so good at flirting.]
[Nao Hayasaka: Because everyone likes Ren.]
[Alina: Hehe, Little Talulah and I are also waiting for you to come back, Ren~ I'll secretly tell you that Little Talulah has recently learned some very impressive moves from Aunt Kie and the others.]
[Talulah: Alina!]
[Kie Kamado: Ugh... this is one of the few things we older women can teach you young people.]
[Kaori Miyazono: Um... can I, can I learn?]
[Nao Tomori: You guys... fine, count me in.]
[Sayuri Sawamura: Since everyone wants to learn new techniques, I suggest we simply exchange experiences together. Ren, when you come back, I promise to give you a big surprise~]
[Ren: Okay, I'm looking forward to it.]
Ren closed the interface, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. Knowing his girls were safe, lively, and apparently plotting a massive, unified assault on his stamina put his mind completely at ease.
"You seem very happy?"
A slender, pale finger suddenly poked at the corner of his smiling mouth.
Ren blinked, shifting his focus back to the physical world. Lying beside him in the tangled, sweat-dampened bedsheets was Stella Vermillion. Her crimson hair was a messy halo against the pillows, and her ruby eyes sparkled with playful defiance.
"Don't tell me you're happy because you're surrounded by so many beautiful women," Stella teased, sticking out the tip of her tongue in mock disgust. "Gross~"
Ren chuckled, reaching up to hook a finger under her delicate chin. He tilted her face toward his. "Stella, how come I never noticed you were so good at teasing before?"
The playful bravado instantly vanished from her expression. A deep, furious blush spread across her cheeks, matching the color of her hair. "I... I'm not!" she stammered, stubbornly refusing to admit she was deliberately provoking him.
"Is that so?" Ren's smirk widened into something distinctly predatory.
He released her chin, his large hand sliding deliberately downward beneath the rumpled sheets, tracing the curve of her waist before dipping lower.
"Ugh! You... what are you doing?!" Stella shrieked, jumping like a startled cat. She scrambled backward against the headboard, clutching the blanket to her chest.
Her heart hammered against her ribs. 'Again? Already?!' This was entirely too much. They had barely rested for half an hour! Her thighs were still trembling from his previous onslaught, yet here he was, fully revitalized and hungry for more.
Ren merely shrugged, his expression the picture of casual innocence. "I can't help it. You're the one who teased me."
He crawled toward her, his shadow falling over her flushed form. "Come on. I'll give you one last round before we leave this world."
"Wait! I'm going to die!" Stella squeaked, her hands pushing weakly against his chest as he pinned her down. "Let... let Shizuku Kurogane and the others take a turn!"
Ren captured her wrists, pinning them softly but firmly above her head. He leaned in, his breath brushing against her ear.
"No," he whispered, his voice dark and uncompromising. "It has to be you."
