Chapter 250: A Night Without Words

After accepting reality, Yae Miko, who could admit defeat gracefully, began to cooperate proactively with Lu Jingming, letting him truly and perfectly experience the legendary charm of a fox spirit.

Fox spirits were indeed born with a unique allure—even without much experience, just by relying on instinct, they could bring people to the heights of pleasure.

All that could be said was: for his very first time to be with Yae Miko, Lu Jingming was truly spoiled.

In the hot spring, the water rippled gently. The sound echoed in the narrow space, mingling with Yae Miko's beautiful, melodious moans, gradually drowning out the sound of their heavy breaths.

The entire atmosphere in the hot spring became increasingly pink and ambiguous in this sensual haze.

Outside the hot spring, Firefly stood quietly, her expression shifting, an indescribable complexity on her face.

She listened to the seductive sounds coming from the hot spring, her fingers gripping the emerald wing-transformer so tightly that her knuckles turned white and trembled slightly. Sometimes she squeezed, sometimes she relaxed, her heart full of unwillingness and her face tinged with embarrassment.

She had originally planned to sneak into the hot spring under cover of night and make her move.

Yet, out of shyness, she hesitated outside for ages, unable to muster the courage to take that critical step.

In the end, just as she finally made up her mind and approached the hot spring, the sounds she heard from within shattered her composure in an instant.

That familiar voice—she knew at once it was that seductress fox Yae Miko's—from the initial pained whimpers to the later cries of pleasure, every sound stimulated her, making her almost transform on the spot, wishing she could unleash a meteor strike and obliterate that hot spring.

This hot spring was artificial, with the outermost perimeter closely guarded by the Golden Guards. Only the inner circle of the City Lord's Mansion could come and go freely.

Because of this, there were no soundproofing soul devices installed, meaning Firefly could hear everything inside with perfect clarity. How could she not feel stifled, especially since she had come here first?

Sparks flared around Firefly as she struggled to suppress her urge to rush in.

But standing outside and listening was pure torture—like a thousand ants crawling across her heart.

Eventually, Firefly could bear it no longer. She stomped her foot in frustration, then turned into a dazzling streak of fire, shooting off like a meteor into the distance.

Moments later, on a distant mountain peak, a pillar of fire soared skyward, followed by a deafening boom as rocks tumbled and collapsed.

Clearly, the mountain had become Firefly's target for venting her frustration.

After Firefly left, Castorice's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

She, too, could clearly hear the lingering sounds from the hot spring. The sounds drilled into her ears, making her cheeks flush.

A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes as she quietly blamed herself for hesitating too long.

Now it was all too late—she had arrived after someone else had already seized the initiative.

Castorice felt a pang of regret. She should have used one of her two wishes to have Lu Jingming come to her directly.

But she was simply too shy. The words had circled in her mouth countless times but had never made it out.

Just coming near the hot spring had used up all her courage. As for interrupting—or even joining in—she couldn't even imagine doing that.

Thinking of this, Castorice showed a disappointed look, silently turning to leave.

"So it ended up like this!" Jinhsi stood quietly on a hilltop, having watched both Firefly and Castorice's every move.

She had long suspected Firefly and Castorice's intentions and guessed the two would take action tonight.

She just hadn't expected a wildcard to appear—someone as formidable as Yae Miko.

"Hesitation means defeat. Teacher was right after all!"

Jinhsi murmured to herself. She had no intention of getting involved—she was simply curious to see who would claim victory in this competition.

After all, hints of such rivalry had already appeared during the previous battle royale event.

But she really hadn't expected Firefly and Castorice to be so indecisive, hesitating for half the night before coming over, only to find the opportunity already lost. By the time they arrived, Yae Miko had already endured who knows how many rounds with Lu Jingming.

"Sure enough, tonight was destined to be lively—after all, it's Xiao Ming's birthday!" Robin strode over lightly, coming to Jinhsi's side.

She hugged her knees, quietly sitting on the ground, gazing up at the sky to watch the dreamy meteor shower above.

Those meteors, like scattered stars, streaked across the sky as if telling the untold stories of this night.

…

The night passed quietly, and Lu Jingming, on this special birthday, received a truly remarkable birthday present—a certain mischievous fox spirit, usually sly and black-bellied, had gifted herself to him.

The next morning, the messy room bore witness to last night's heated battle.

Clothes were strewn everywhere: white stockings, black stockings, fishnet tights scattered in every corner. Every trace spoke of the wild and passionate night before.

After their intense tryst in the hot spring, Lu Jingming, unable to contain himself, carried Yae Miko and used Key of Infinity ability to transfer them directly to her room.

There, he eagerly took out all sorts of distinctive uniforms he had prepared in advance, his eyes full of anticipation and desire as he signaled for Yae Miko to try them on.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan, Xu Jiujiu, and Keqing were all about the same size as Yae Miko, so even without costumes tailored for her, she could still wear them.

At that time, Yae Miko—her body and heart utterly captivated by Lu Jingming after being betrayed by Raiden Shogun—completely let loose.

Faced with Lu Jingming's various requests, not only did she not resist, she cooperated enthusiastically, showing off her seductive charm. At times, she even took the initiative, vying for dominance and enjoying herself to the fullest.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Jingming and Yae Miko were both far from ordinary people: their strength and physical qualities were well beyond the norm.

This relentless contest lasted the entire night.

Even more crucially, Lu Jingming possessed the Black Abyss White Flower, which let him recover his physical state, ensuring he was always full of energy and had no fear of being defeated by Yae Miko.

At first, Yae Miko was confident she could control the pace. But thanks to Lu Jingming's cheat-like recovery, he ultimately overwhelmed her.

By the end, even with Yae Miko's Title Douluo-level physique, after several climax and a whole night of strenuous battle, she was utterly spent and had to beg for mercy.

Lu Jingming, however, was still unsatisfied, even claiming that he could keep going for three days and nights.

If not for Yae Miko's firm refusal—and the fact that going at it for three days straight was just too absurd—Lu Jingming, having tasted the pleasure, might really have kept her locked away for three days, never leaving the room.

Gazing at the sleeping Yae Miko, beautiful as a fairy tale princess, Lu Jingming was filled with tenderness.

He gently moved her snow-white jade arm from atop his body and tucked it under the covers as softly as he could, afraid to make a sound and wake the utterly exhausted Yae Miko.

At this moment, her pink hair was slightly disheveled, her delicate face showing a hint of fatigue yet radiating a soft beauty. It was hard to associate her with the cunning, mischievous Yae Miko of daily life.

Aside from occasionally helping Changli manage Haiyuan City's affairs, Yae Miko also pursued her own hobby—she had opened a light novel publishing house in Haiyuan City, called Yae Publishing House.

At first, the natives of Douluo Continent knew nothing about light novels, this entirely new literary form.

But under Yae Miko's careful guidance, some people did manage to create quite attractive light novels.

For example, "The Story I Have to Tell with the God of Love" used a romantic fantasy plot to depict a touching entanglement between the lead and the God of Love.

Stories of love between gods and mortals attracted countless teenagers and won their hearts.

Another, "Reborn as the Sea God: Grudges and Feuds with Spirit Hall", was written by someone who had only heard of Tang San, the Sea God. The story had the protagonist reborn as the not-yet-deified Sea God Tang San and entering a series of thrilling adventures against Spirit Hall.

Lu Jingming, curious, read this novel too—but the author had only heard of the Sea God Tang San's legend and knew nothing of the true history from ten thousand years ago. Most characters were made up, and Spirit Hall was depicted as utterly evil.

For others, this was an extremely appealing novel—after all, the protagonist was reborn as Douluo Continent's legendary figure, Tang San. In a world where novel literature was not yet developed, such a premise was both bold and fresh.

But to Lu Jingming, it was not that interesting. He had been spoiled by far more novels in his previous life.

Besides, the author had written Tang San as a saint and Spirit Hall as pure evil, which made Lu Jingming shake his head.

Chapter 250: Cerydra

At first, people of Douluo Continent found this new type of novel hard to accept, but as time passed, more and more were won over by these fresh and intriguing stories. The number of fans of light novels steadily grew.

Now, Yae Publishing House had become the most prestigious publisher in the entire Star Luo Empire.

It's worth noting: under Yae Miko's encouragement, Castorice also became a light novel author at Yae Publishing House.

As expected, Castorice did not disappoint. With her exceptional literary talent, she became Yae Publishing House's undisputed star author.

Her stories seemed to possess magic, always capturing readers' hearts and making them lose themselves in her worlds.

However, there was one flaw: no matter how much Yae Miko tried to persuade her, Castorice refused to finish her stories. This drove readers crazy—they loved her and hated her at once, grinding their teeth but helpless.

After all, Yae Publishing House's chief editor, Yae Miko, was a powerful Title Douluo, and with the mighty Haiyuan City behind her, who would dare offend her?

Lu Jingming gently kissed the sleeping Yae Miko on the forehead, full of tenderness.

Then, he carefully got dressed and quietly left the room.

He planned to prepare some nourishing food for Yae Miko to help her recover.

Though with Yae Miko's robust constitution, a day's rest would be enough to restore her. But Lu Jingming felt this display of care was essential—a way to express his affection.

Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Zhang Lexuan waiting for him.

She held two lunchboxes steadily, her eyes full of concern and gentleness.

Seeing her, Lu Jingming couldn't help but feel a twinge of awkwardness.

Originally, he had planned to do it with Zhang Lexuan on his birthday, but midway, due to Yae Miko's tempting initiative, he had changed targets.

Though Zhang Lexuan knew nothing of this, Lu Jingming himself still felt a bit guilty, as if he'd done something wrong.

"I asked the chef to prepare these medicinal meals specially. Miko worked hard all night—she must be hungry. And this one's for you."

Zhang Lexuan smiled, handing the two lunchboxes to Lu Jingming as she quietly sized him up.

She keenly sensed that Lu Jingming's aura seemed more mature, as if he had undergone a transformation, exuding a new kind of charm.

Though Zhang Lexuan didn't hold a grudge about this, her eyes inevitably flashed with a touch of melancholy as she looked at him.

After all, the two of them had long been intimate, having done everything but that final step.

Yet, that crucial step was taken by someone else—and not even someone who was closest to Lu Jingming.

Neither Xu Jiujiu, nor Keqing, nor Castorice, nor Firefly, but rather the usually low-key, even somewhat lazy Yae Miko.

No one would have thought it would be Yae Miko who seized the opportunity.

In Haiyuan City, she had always kept a low profile. Though she occasionally helped Changli with chores, her presence was minimal, always on the periphery.

Lu Jingming took the lunchboxes with a warm smile.

Zhang Lexuan was always gentle and meticulous, handling everything perfectly.

Whenever he needed anything, she would be there like an angel, offering him unwavering support and care.

Lu Jingming felt a bit guilty—Zhang Lexuan should have been his first choice, but since things had turned out this way, if not first, she would be his second!

Since Yae Miko needed time to rest, tonight, he decided to go to Zhang Lexuan.

After all, once you've tasted meat, it's hard to be satisfied with vegetarian.

Yae Miko's seductive charm had given him a perfect experience, making him crave that feeling.

So, his inner fire hadn't been doused by a night with Yae Miko—Zhang Lexuan was the perfect fire extinguisher.

But before that, there was a tricky problem to solve.

Lu Jingming glanced subconsciously at the Command Spell on Zhang Lexuan's hand, sighing inwardly.

That's right—Zhang Lexuan, as a named supporting character from the original work, had top-tier talent and strength, so she naturally carried great destiny and was chosen as a Master.

However, the Servant she summoned was a real headache.

Not that her Servant was hard to get along with—quite the opposite. Though a ruler, she was down-to-earth, not arrogant, disliked red tape, and was straightforward and direct.

In this, Lu Jingming rather resembled her.

As a noble and lord of Haiyuan City, he also disliked the convoluted etiquette of nobility and preferred to get things done simply.

The problem was, as Zhang Lexuan's Servant, this person spent almost all her time with her—even at night, she stayed in Zhang Lexuan's room.

This made it almost impossible for Lu Jingming to be alone with Zhang Lexuan, let alone have any private, intimate moments.

It was a real headache—he had to find a solution if he wanted to enjoy a world of just the two of them.

Of course, this Servant wasn't clingy—she didn't follow Zhang Lexuan everywhere.

But due to the special Master-Servant relationship, being together greatly increased her ability to absorb negative energy.

And at night, when negative energy was most active, she and Zhang Lexuan chose to stay together.

Because of this, Lu Jingming found it tricky.

He couldn't possibly do such intimate things with Zhang Lexuan in broad daylight.

Never mind his own feelings—he had to consider hers, too.

This would be her first time, after all, and needed the right atmosphere.

How could you create a romantic, private mood in the middle of the day?

"I was wondering where you'd gone. Turns out you came to see him. The code you wanted—I've written it up! Of course, it's been adapted for your world's situation, so make sure to revise it—don't just use it as-is!"

Speak of the devil, and she appears.

Just as Lu Jingming was thinking about this Servant, she showed up.

Before him stood a petite, delicate girl.

She had long, silvery-white hair, styled into a low ponytail with gently curled tips and elegant bangs cut in the hime style. Several locks in front were dyed blue, adding a unique charm.

She wore a splendid golden crown adorned with dazzling blue gems, which sparkled in the sunlight.

In her hand, she held a scepter topped with a chess piece, emanating an aura of mystery and majesty.

She wore a deep blue, off-shoulder gown that perfectly showcased her fair, rounded shoulders.

A jeweled belt at her waist accentuated her slender figure, adding an air of luxury.

Her right leg was elegantly clad in black stockings, while her left leg was bare—a striking contrast.

Even her high heels were mismatched: one blue, one white, both inlaid with sparkling gems, each step radiating nobility.

Over her shoulders was a deep blue cape lined with golden patterns, fluttering softly in the breeze like a flowing painting.

Behind her, a pair of semi-transparent bat wings added to her mysterious and regal aura.

Though petite and doll-like, she exuded a natural divinity and imperial presence. Everything about her—her appearance, her bearing—marked her as a true monarch.

"Thank you, Cerydra! That's a huge help!" Zhang Lexuan's face lit up with joy.

These days, Haiyuan City was developing rapidly, almost fully autonomous.

The Star Luo Empire neither could nor wished to interfere with its internal affairs.

With soul technology advancing daily, Haiyuan City's territory and population were expanding at breakneck speed.

Under these circumstances, the Star Luo Empire's old laws could no longer adapt to the city's complex situation.

Thus, Haiyuan City urgently needed its own comprehensive legal system.

But neither Changli nor Jinhsi were experts in law.

Ningguang was skilled in legal matters, but she was stretched thin—the Jade Chamber she managed was opening branches all over Douluo Continent, demanding all her time.

So, the matter of new laws had been postponed.

It wasn't until Zhang Lexuan summoned this girl, and with Lu Jingming's reminder, realized the girl was an expert in law.

After establishing a good relationship, Zhang Lexuan sincerely asked her for help.

And the girl readily agreed.

Her name was Cerydra, a demigod of law and the Empress of Okhema.

Cerydra was highly responsible. Since she'd become Zhang Lexuan's Servant, helping her grow and ultimately win the Holy Grail was her duty.

She herself longed for the Holy Grail, too—her ambitions went beyond her own country, reaching for the boundless sea of stars.

Being summoned by someone from another world, even as a copy of her memories, was enough to excite her.
