The moment Mei left, Ye Feng's interest was piqued.
He summoned the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder and proceeded to have his way with them.
The Herrscher of the Void was changed into her queenly swimsuit skin, the sea-blue fabric exuding the refreshing coolness of summer.
The Herrscher of Thunder, meanwhile, was clad in the "Night Falls in Spring" outfit—a form-fitting black bodysuit that showcased her voluptuous curves while emanating an aura of mysterious and noble grace.
In the classroom, Yae Sakura awoke. She always entered shortly after Kiana and the others had left.
Today was no different, though the scene that greeted her was.
Yae Sakura's gaze fell upon two Want Want Snow Crisps stacked on the desk, and her composure wavered slightly.
She had a general idea of what Ye Feng did in this world every day, but this was the first time she had witnessed it firsthand.
It was... rather awkward.
"...Benefactor."
Of course, the embarrassment was felt only by the fox miko; Old Ye, on the other hand, was in high spirits.
"Yae Sakura, you've arrived. Perfect timing. Care to try?"
"..."
"No need to look so troubled. I won't force you."
Though, in all honesty, Ye Feng really did want to hear the fox miko cry out "Benefactor, Benefactor" for him.
Ye Feng strode over, standing tall and proud. Yae Sakura averted her gaze slightly.
"Why look away? Are you shy?"
"Benefactor, I must ask that you... conduct yourself with some dignity."
Yae Sakura lowered her head, but she did not take a step back.
"There is nothing about my body to be ashamed of. How can you speak of a lack of dignity? Oh well. You'll get used to it, Yae Sakura."
The miko's fox ears twitched. "Get used to it?"
Ye Feng smiled. "Every time you come here, you might see all sorts of scenes. You'll get used to it after seeing it enough."
Yae Sakura was actually quite lucky; it had taken this long for her to walk in on something.
Kiana had hit the jackpot on her very first night.
This was just another testament to the fact that the Tuna's luck was truly Euro-tier.
As for Mei, Mei was different. Ye Feng had promised he wouldn't make a move on her this week, so he had interfered with "Raiden Mei's trajectory," ensuring she would always "wake up" to a normal situation.
Yae Sakura opened her mouth to speak, then hesitated. Ye Feng said:
"Simply put, I can't always 'prepare myself beforehand' every time we meet. I'm used to being free and unrestrained here, and I'm not going to change. So, I'm afraid you'll be the one who has to change."
"..."
"If you can't get used to it, you could also alter your own common sense. For example, convince yourself that 'everyone should wear bodysuits and high heels to class.' That way, no matter what unconventional things you see when you arrive, you'll be able to face them with perfect calm."
"Uhm, that... Benefactor, please don't do that..." Yae Sakura shrank back, lowering her head.
"Of course, I'm a very reasonable person. If you're unwilling, I won't force you. Unless, of course, I'm 'in the middle of something'."
Although she didn't quite understand what Ye Feng meant by "in the middle of something," Yae Sakura had no desire to find out right now.
Because the holy light emanating from Ye Feng at this moment was truly... dazzling.
If this were an anime, it would probably cover half the screen.
Ye Feng looked at the miko with her head bowed, walked over to her, and waved his arm.
"You really don't want to try?"
"..."
Yae Sakura felt a scorching heat approach. Her slender hand tightened around the "Spirit Blade - Sakura Fubuki" at her waist.
"Benefactor..." Her voice trembled slightly, a clear note of refusal within it.
Sigh, she's already calling me Benefactor, so why won't she offer her body to repay the debt?
I suppose foxes come in different breeds. The ones from Shenzhou are the best.
Still, if Kallen weren't in the picture, would Yae Sakura obey if he asked her to put her hair up right now?
"I'm just teasing you. Help me get dressed."
"...Y-Yes, of course."
Yae Sakura sighed in relief internally.
But a moment later, she was lost in confusion.
She was a miko from the Warring States period, 500 years ago, a "lost soul" who had lost everything and now wandered the present world.
Yae Sakura had sworn an oath to become Ye Feng's blade.
That was her reason for living now.
So, if Ye Feng were to truly give that kind of order, could she fulfill her mission?
Yae Sakura didn't know.
The answer would probably only be revealed when that time truly came.
But until then, she didn't want to think about it too much.
---o---
In the afternoon.
The world expanded with a new map—Jiuyou.
New characters were added: Cangxuan, Danzhu, Ji Lin, and Immortal Red Kite.
Ye Feng was overjoyed.
They're really here!
Cangxuan and Danzhu, the twin matriarchs—had they not truly perished?
After all, if they were dead, their consciousness couldn't possibly have come to this world, and their NPCs wouldn't exist.
However, why was Immortal Red Kite specifically mentioned?
Wasn't Immortal Red Kite just Fu Hua?
Various forms of Fu Hua had already appeared at St. Freya High School. There was no need to single out Immortal Red Kite.
It was only when Ye Feng ran over to take a look that he discovered the "Immortal Red Kite" here was actually the busty form Danzhu had once sculpted... Her feel was superb, in no way inferior to Aponia's.
Heavens! The day had finally come for Buff Hua to stand tall!
But Ye Feng's attention quickly shifted back to Cangxuan and Danzhu.
These were beautiful twin girls!
Even Kiana and Durandal didn't look alike.
Being twins was a huge bonus. It was more than just one plus one.
Sunlight streamed through the lattice window of the ancient-style building.
Cangxuan was hunched over a workbench, absorbed in creating something. Danzhu, meanwhile, was nibbling on a steamed bun while watching her sister's work, her bright, clear eyes darting about as she was clearly thinking up some amusing idea.
Ye Feng snatched the bun from Danzhu's hand. The bite mark of a beautiful woman remained on its surface.
He took a bite from the same spot, and it tasted even more delicious than a whole bun.
Danzhu, however, remained in her bun-holding pose, occasionally taking a bite of empty air.
Ye Feng contentedly ate the bun while observing the twins.
Cangxuan and Danzhu looked identical, and even their clothes were the same style.
The only difference was that Cangxuan's were a calm white, while Danzhu's were a playful black.
And the legs peeking out from under their skirts were extremely alluring, their gentle curves reminiscent of a writhing snake.
As expected of those from Mobius's lab, their bodies must be incredibly soft...
"Time for a thorough inspection to see if they're the same."
Ye Feng prepared an oversized wooden tub, filled it with warm water, and sprinkled pink flower petals on the surface.
He carried them into it and enjoyed a mandarin duck bath.
Several hours later, the bath was finished. He dried them off and carried them both to the bed.
Cangxuan on the left, Danzhu on the right.
Sandwiched between the twin sisters, Ye Feng closed his eyes in utter contentment.
As expected. Compared to the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder, or any of his other pairings, the experience of being with twins was completely different.

Author's Note: My boxing practice today left me a bit dazed. I sat in front of the computer spacing out for a long time... I started writing at 8 and have only finished one chapter now... Sigh, I should have released more chapters since the novel just went premium. But, please let me get some good rest today...
