Chapter 23
Noon the next day.
The maids, around the important guest with an extremely awkward expression. From the moment the strangely changed owners of the mansion returned, the screams and moans full of pleasure of the insatiable couple were heard throughout the house, from which no one could sleep and only in the morning everything seemed to calm down before continuing a few minutes later. And what's worse, Ning Guang herself came to dinner, and these sounds did not pass by.
The girl pretending to be a femme fatale, but nevertheless remaining a virgin, did not know how to react. She came to discuss the oddities of yesterday, seasoned with the report of the captain of milliliters about how the assault on the mansion went and she was especially interested in the reservation about the adepts from her colleague, however, upon entering she felt like she had entered the red light district.
"Sorry, but Miss Jade Balance ordered us yesterday not to disturb them, even if someone from Qixing came," the young maid said extremely awkwardly to the girl who felt out of place.
"Have they been doing this since yesterday?" Ning Guang asked, stunned.
"Yes," the girl awkwardly confirmed, before catching herself and offering, "Maybe I should bring you some tea."
"I don't think…" Ning Guang began, when she was interrupted by a particularly loud groan that echoed throughout the mansion, after which everything became quiet, and everyone in the mansion involuntarily wondered if they were finally finished?
…
Bath
We stood under the shower, breathing heavily, pressed against each other after a strong orgasm.
- Looks like someone came, - I said in her ear, while pulling out of her ass. - It's probably because of yesterday.
"It's Ning Guang, I can smell her." The satisfied girl sighed, seductively shaking her tail, which made me call upon all my patience not to start fucking this seductive cat again. After all, after the changes we had experienced, the endurance of our bodies seemed limitless, and I felt perfectly well that my wife could continue for a long time.
"Do you know her scent?" I asked teasingly, kissing her collarbone.
- It doesn't matter. - The girl was slightly embarrassed. Before she got serious. - We need to meet her.
"Okay," I said with a little regret, starting to tidy myself up, turning away from the girl so as not to give in to temptation once again.
It didn't take us long and soon we came out into the hallway where Ning Guang was sitting at the tea table, who greeted us with a slightly strange look, which, however, immediately began to rush between our newfound features. Moreover, she seemed most interested in Ke Qing's tail, which was peacefully swaying behind her.
- Should I expect you to go into seclusion in the clouds? - the Will of Heaven asked with a slight irony in her tone.
"You won't get it," Ke Qing snorted before sitting down at one of the chairs opposite.
"What brings you to us this morning?" I decided to ask, also sitting down next to my wife.
"First, to discuss what you did with the god's remains, and second, what happened in the evening." Ning Guang began, taking a sip of tea before her lips curled into a slight smile. "However, there's no need to ask about the second one."
- Poor Gan Yu was exhausted while trying to find a new qilin. - She sighed with feigned pity, putting her hand to her cheek. - And the one she was looking for turned out to be already married, this will upset her very much.
"She doesn't even know me, why would she attack the first qilin she meets?" I frowned.
"You underestimate how lonely she is." Ning Guang chuckled, leaning back slightly in her chair and crossing her legs. "She's already several thousand years old, many mortals she knew have grown old and died before her eyes, and there's no one from the long-lived species who could ease her loneliness."
"Then she's unlucky, because she'll have to wait for someone else," Ke Qing said in a cold tone, emitting a burning jealousy.
"Oh, poor thing." Ning Guang sighed once again with feigned pity, before dropping her playfulness and saying slightly dismissively. "In any case, I don't understand you. After all, Mora is obviously better and can't betray you."
"But he won't be able to support it either," I noted.
- You might as well start telling stories like money can't buy happiness, - Ning Guang snorted, who surprisingly freely communicated with us, seemingly having completely thrown off the mask.
"I won't," he said calmly.
"That's good," the girl sighed.
- So what did you do with the remains of God?
"We handed them over to the geoarchon," Ke Qing replied.
"I even became curious about how he reacted to you when we met, considering how much you criticized him," Ning Guang smiled slightly.
"The gods love skeptics, because they don't blindly hope in the gods," I decided to answer her instead of Ke Qing.
- Of course, - Ning Guang chuckled. - I bet that Electro Archon would disagree with you.
After she finished speaking, the smile disappeared from her face and she became serious, taking out documents from her god's eye, which she eventually placed on the table.
"These are copies of the interrogation reports of Tang Hao," the girl explained before looking my wife in the eye seriously and asking, "Tell me, Ke Qing. In your estimation, what is the probability that Tang Hao is right and another disaster like the one 500 years ago could happen soon?"
"Too high to ignore," Ke Qing replied sullenly.
"So you think so too," Ning Guang sighed. "Do you have any thoughts on how to prepare for this?"
- Actually, I have an idea, - I intervened, attracting the attention of the two girls.
"In that case, I'm listening," Ning Guang said with obvious doubt on her face, apparently not expecting anything worthwhile from me.
- First, we will need to persuade the Guardian of the Blocks to move to Li Yue, I will try to take this moment upon myself, and then together with her we will develop weapons that will allow us to defend ourselves in the event of a large-scale attack from both the Abyss and the Snowy side, and in order to keep this a secret, various mechanisms aimed at improving everyday life will be developed at the same time, which will also recoup a significant part of the costs of research, and in the future, perhaps even bring profit. It will also be possible to recruit scientists from Fontaine and Sumeru. I am more than sure that there are enough people who have an extraordinary mind, but could not get funding or fell into disgrace due to intrigue. Secrecy will be achieved through a contract similar to the one we concluded with Morax. And of course, funding will be required, I am more than sure that my reserves will not be enough for sponsorship.
"Research center, huh?" Ning Guang said thoughtfully, tapping her fingernail on the armrest of her chair.
- An interesting thought. You obviously thought about it not just now. So I'll ask, to what extent can the diversion of military technology development to household ones slow down progress?
- I don't think so. After all, it's all interconnected. What is used in military affairs can be extremely useful in peacetime and vice versa. For example, to wage war, it is extremely important to have fast communication between the command and the soldiers. This can be achieved with the help of a mechanism that will allow communication over long distances, but such a mechanism can also be extremely useful and profitable in peacetime. Although, naturally, for the sake of security, it will be necessary to think about how to track conversations and, on the contrary, encrypt them from wiretapping. But this is all just an idea, for the implementation of which real specialists are needed, and the Guardian of the Clouds is the best option in this regard.
"Long-distance communication," Ning Guang said thoughtfully. "Okay. I'll personally put forward a proposal to fund the research center at the meeting, and if the others refuse, I'll fund the project from my own reserves."
- But the first thing this center will do is create mechanisms for communication and of course 50% of the profit will go to me. And it will be up to you to attract an adept. - Ning Guang set the condition.
- No way, you definitely won't get 50% alone... - Ke Qing immediately intervened, clearly intending to start a debate about the future distribution of profits from the planned enterprise, but they both quickly realized what profit even just high-speed communications could bring and it was not for their pretty eyes that they were both at the top of the richest country in the world at such a young age.
