"Kisara, do you really have to go out? Can't you stay with me?"
Xiao Feng sat upon the sofa with Kisara resting in his lap, both arms wrapped firmly around her slender waist.
Kisara tilted her head and looked at him with amusement.
"What? Are you already so reluctant to part with me?"
She leaned closer, her lips nearly touching his ear, and deliberately breathed warm air against it.
Xiao Feng's arms tightened instinctively.
Kisara noticed his reaction, and the teasing smile upon her face deepened.
"If you're truly that worried, why don't you come with me and help manage the business?"
"You know very well, I'm starting this business precisely because I want to help you in this world."
Kisara had never considered herself a decorative vase, and she had no intention of becoming a woman who merely waited at home while Xiao Feng dealt with every problem alone.
Since she had followed him into this unfamiliar world, she wanted to find her own place within it.
Even if she could not yet match the powerful cultivators of the Dou Qi Continent, she could still handle negotiations, management, trade, and planning.
There were far too many children relying upon them.
Food and clothing were not serious problems inside the Small World, but New Tokyo still required medicines, tools, cultivation resources, books, craftsmen, and countless other necessities.
She could not allow Xiao Feng to carry every burden by himself.
More importantly, Kisara genuinely wanted to explore this world. She wanted to see its cities, understand its people, learn its customs, and build something with her own hands.
"Besides, Seitenshi has already agreed to it. She also wants to help with the business"
"Kisara..."
Hearing her words, Xiao Feng hugged her more tightly and buried his face against her shoulder.
He genuinely wanted to accompany them.
However, he also had his own matters to handle.
The Blood Lotus Pill still needed to be refined. He had to prepare for the Qinglian Earth Heart Flame, study Xiao Yixian's Evil Poisonous Body, and arrange several other matters before returning to Wutan City.
He could not remain beside Kisara every moment.
Kisara gently stroked his long hair, "You're acting as though we are leaving for several years."
"Don't worry, I and Seitenshi have already planned the basic outline. We will stay within the Jiama Empire and won't go out for now. You can come to see us whenever you want."
"Sigh, I can't stop you! If it's just Jiama then I can indeed arrive in time."
Xiao Feng sighed. He didn't wish to bind Kisara and the others to himself. He wasn't a possessive Yandere.
"Although I won't stop you, you must take Rem and Ram with you. Also, I will be sending 5, no 10 Mechanical Maids to accompany you guys."
"It's fine to establish business but you must not fall into any danger."
"Oh, also take this space ring, it has all the pills I have refined until now. It is enough for your cultivation."
Kisara accepted the ring and examined the space inside with her spiritual perception then her expression gradually froze.
Neatly arranged jade bottles filled a significant portion of the storage space. Each had been labelled according to its effects and grade.
There were pills for cultivation, healing injuries, restoring Dou Qi, cleansing the body, resisting poison, strengthening meridians, and stabilizing breakthroughs.
Several bottles contained medicines whose value could cause powerful families to fight among themselves.
Kisara slowly raised her head but before she could speak, Xiao Feng produced several additional items.
"These are fifth-grade inner armours I refined recently."
Five sets of delicate armour appeared upon the table.
They looked thin and flexible, almost like ordinary clothing, but each carried faint defensive fluctuations.
"They can withstand most attacks below the Dou Wang realm. Even against a Dou Wang, they should reduce the damage considerably."
He then took out several swords, spears, guns, halberd, etc.
"These are also fifth-grade weapons. I refined them using materials from the Mythical Beast Mountain Range. Choose whichever feels most comfortable."
"Finally, take this. It's a signal token I refined some time ago. If you ever encounter danger, activate it immediately."
Xiao Feng placed a black jade token into Kisara's already crowded hands.
Thin silver lines covered its surface, forming an intricate spatial formation. A faint connection extended from the token toward Xiao Feng, allowing him to sense its location regardless of the distance between them.
"As long as you're still within the Jia Ma Empire, I'll be able to reach you almost instantly."
Kisara looked down at the pile of treasures in her arms.
A spatial ring filled with pills.
Several sets of fifth-grade inner armour.
Swords, spears, halberds, firearms, and other weapons.
A signal token capable of summoning Xiao Feng.
And, according to him, ten Mechanical Maids would also be accompanying them.
Thinking about it, her lips twitched faintly.
They were establishing a trading company, not preparing to overthrow the Jia Ma imperial family.
However, when Kisara raised her head and saw the genuine concern in Xiao Feng's eyes, the words of complaint she had prepared remained trapped in her throat.
He truly was worried about her.
This protective attitude was excessive and unreasonable. But it was also undeniably sweet.
Kisara carefully placed the items inside the spatial ring before wrapping both arms around Xiao Feng's neck she kissed him.
She could only use this intimate contact to express the sweetness in her heart.
Unlike the first where she only kissed him for a short time, this time, Kisara's kiss was extremely fiery and passionate. She pried open his mouth and sucked his lips, intertwining their tongues for a long time.
Her sudden kiss stunned Xiao Feng, causing his mind to fall into a daze but then he reacted and responded to her, greedily sucking her moist lips.
Their lips parted and met again, each kiss more intense than the last and their breathing gradually grew uneven.
The quiet room seemed to shrink around them until the weapons, armour, pills, and every other concern disappeared beyond their awareness.
There was only the warmth of the body held against them and the soft sound of their mingled breaths.
Kisara's earlier confidence faltered slightly when Xiao Feng took control.
His hand pressed firmly against the small of her back, holding her securely upon his lap. He kissed her so hard that it made her heart pound wildly against her chest.
But she refused to retreat.
Kisara met his affection with equal intensity, tightening her arms around his neck and pressing closer.
Their kiss became a silent contest in which neither wished to be the first to surrender.
Sometimes their lips moved slowly, almost tenderly, allowing them to savour one another's warmth.
At other moments, the restraint between them weakened, and the kiss grew fierce enough to steal the breath from their lungs.
Kisara felt as though she were sinking into a deep and heated current.
Every time she tried to gather her scattered thoughts, Xiao Feng kissed her again and swept them away.
The powerful young man who could face armies and monsters without fear now held her as though she were the most precious thing in his world.
After a long time.
"Ahhhh~"
A sharp moan escaped Kisara's mouth as Xiao Feng's palm rested on her full bosom, causing her face to turn red.
Xiao Feng stared at her moist eyes and part lips, feeling hot all over his body.
He subconsciously squeezed the soft bun in his hand twice.
"Ahhhh~"
An alluring moan once again escaped Kisara's mouth.
"Xi-Xiao Feng!"
Kisara drew a hurried breath and pressed one hand against his chest, her voice was barely louder than a whisper.
"I'm not ready yet. At least... let me take a bath first."
The moment those words entered his ears, Xiao Feng finally realized how far the situation had progressed and his wandering hand immediately froze.
He looked down at Kisara's flushed face, then at the position of his hand.
His own face rapidly turned red and he withdrew his hand as though he had touched a burning iron.
"Th-that was an accident!"
Kisara stared at him.
An accident?
He had clearly moved his hand twice.
The embarrassment in her eyes gradually changed into amusement. She didn't say anything and only stared at him.
Being stared by Kisara, Xiao Feng felt more and more awkward.
Kisara watched his increasingly awkward expression and nearly laughed.
Only moments earlier, he had kissed her so fiercely that she could barely think. Now, after being confronted, he looked like a child caught secretly stealing sweets.
Her embarrassment did not disappear, but the teasing nature she had temporarily lost quickly returned.
She leaned toward him again and her warm breath brushed across his cheek
"Feng... Do you truly expect me to believe that?"
Xiao Feng turned his face away, "I lost control for a moment."
"That sounds more honest."
Kisara rested her head against his shoulder, hiding the pleased smile appearing upon her face.
She was not angry.
If anything, Xiao Feng's reaction had confirmed just how strongly he desired her.
For a woman who had already accepted him within her heart, that knowledge brought far more happiness than discomfort.
