Chiori's face flushed red. In this situation, how could she possibly get up? It was far too embarrassing. She could only pretend she hadn't heard and silently bury her face in Nolan's chest.
Nolan knew she was shy, so this was naturally the moment for him to step in.
He slowly lifted Chiori's hips, letting her shift slightly forward to sit against his lower abdomen, while his hands continued to move beneath her skirt, kneading her hips.
Ruan Mei watched Nolan without any particular reaction. She crouched down in front of him. Although she felt that her posture was somewhat improper, her indifferent nature meant she rarely showed her emotions on her face.
Nolan's hands sank into Chiori's hips, still wrapped in black stockings, continuing to knead them. After a while, while Ruan Mei wasn't paying attention, he quietly reached out and held her head.
Ruan Mei suddenly felt herself being pushed forward, her soft lips gently parted.
Her forehead lightly brushed against Chiori's hip, her expression unchanged, only showing a slight hint of confusion as she looked ahead.
How did it suddenly turn into this? Wasn't it supposed to just be by hand…
After more than ten minutes, Nolan grabbed Ruan Mei's arm and pulled her up, making her squeeze in with Chiori as she also sat on him.
"Rip—" The sound of fabric tearing echoed softly.
Time passed slowly. Ruan Mei kept her lips pressed together, quietly looking at Nolan. Though her expression didn't change much, there seemed to be a faint trace of resentment within it.
Chiori, caught in the middle, was the same.
No one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps it was because Ruan Mei sensed that her life level had actually improved while being in close contact with Nolan.
Amid her surprise, she naturally developed a bit of good feelings toward him. Nolan saw the notification panel pop up:
[Ruan Mei Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 830 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv.10 (Max)]
Nolan felt a bit delighted. He had finally maxed out Ruan Mei's affection.
Under normal circumstances, how could this be so easy!
If he didn't have various abilities that made it easier to gain women's affection, he might not even be able to leave an impression on Ruan Mei, let alone take advantage of her like this.
After all, she was one of the most outstanding geniuses in the galaxy's history, possessing power comparable to an "Emanator."
If it were anyone else, forget acting this boldly toward her, they might be silently erased from existence the moment they showed even the slightest ill intent, without anyone ever noticing.
After all, she was someone who secretly conducted experiments to cultivate "Emanators" on Herta's space station. In other words, she didn't even fully trust Herta, a fellow Genius Society member and collaborator.
Only because of the high affection between them could Nolan so quickly close the distance between them.
At the same time, the system panel also displayed a notification that he had obtained an affection skill:
[Through sincere intent and unwavering effort, your fate, once unrelated, has become deeply intertwined. From now on, the girl's destiny will shine alongside yours. Ability obtained: Eternal Entwined Life Spiral.]
From the name alone, it wasn't clear what it did, so Nolan opened it to check the details:
[Eternal Entwined Life Spiral: When combining with a female, you may freely control whether your genes automatically adapt to the other party's genes to enable pregnancy. The offspring produced will perfectly inherit the best genes from both parents. If the offspring is male, your own power can be freely bestowed upon him, though your own strength will correspondingly decrease. If the offspring is female, all of her power can be perfectly bestowed upon you, though her strength will correspondingly decrease. Before activating the ability, you may freely determine the gender of the offspring. The growth speed of your offspring in all aspects is increased by "the sum of both parents' levels" times.]
Overall, Ruan Mei's affection skill was quite impressive, with equally limitless potential.
He could decide whether to cause pregnancy at will, and even choose the child's gender. This solved the issue where the vast difference in life levels between him and the girls made pregnancy unlikely.
If any of the girls wanted to become a mother, he could easily fulfill that wish.
However, although having a son would allow the child to inherit his power, his own strength would diminish, which didn't seem particularly useful.
Even if it were useful, Nolan would hardly consider having a son. After all, he was immortal and didn't need to worry about things like inheriting a family legacy or continuing a bloodline.
More importantly, the Wonderland Space was basically filled with girls, and Nolan's possessiveness was rather strong.
He didn't want any other men in the Wonderland Space.
As for daughters, that was different. The effect was the opposite of having a son, allowing their power to be perfectly transferred onto him.
With guaranteed conception, selectable gender, and a growth rate hundreds of times faster based on the combined levels of him and Ruan Mei.
A cultivation and learning speed multiplied by several hundred meant that reaching a certain level of combat capability after full growth might not even take a month.
Because their power could be fully transferred to him.
As long as Nolan had enough children, it would be equivalent to having numerous "external boosters" that could grow infinitely at several hundred times the normal rate.
It really felt somewhat outrageous.
Of course, Nolan wouldn't make any of the girls pregnant without asking for their consent. For the sake of harmony, their preferences had to be considered.
Moreover, his own growth speed was already fast enough, so he didn't particularly need this kind of additional enhancement.
For now, he had no intention of having children. After all, as a father, it would be impossible for him not to accompany his child's growth.
Nolan spent his days either increasing the girls' affection or thinking of ways to gain Adventure EXP to improve his level.
If he were to leave everything to the child's mother alone, it would be far too irresponsible.
It would take at least over a decade for a child to grow to mental maturity. Even if he didn't need to be present at every moment,
if he used that time to build affection with the girls and obtain skills, or to increase his level, he couldn't even imagine how far he would reach.
So this ability was truly just an added bonus.
Thinking about it this way, the greatest use of Ruan Mei's affection skill was actually allowing him to be close with girls freely without worrying about accidental pregnancy.
After all, no matter how small the probability, with enough attempts, it would eventually happen.
As for whether to have children or not, it would ultimately depend on the girls' wishes. If any of them strongly expressed a desire to become a mother, Nolan would naturally not refuse.
For now, everyone basically had their own work to do and wasn't idle, so there hadn't been any talk of wanting children yet.
Overall, Ruan Mei's affection skill was extremely useful.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Nolan gently held Chiori and Ruan Mei, who were sitting on him, and continued cultivating with them.
