No, that's going too far!" Yun Xin'er exclaimed, spinning around to shield Xuan from Varina.
Her motion was instinctive, protective… and above all, catastrophic for Xuan.
Her long, slender legs were now perfectly framed, the curve of her hips and the roundness of her buttocks fully facing him.
Oh no… oh no… oh no… this is…
He tried to stay calm, tried to pretend he was still "asleep," but every muscle in his body betrayed him. His eyes betrayed the most honest reaction he could not control.

A flood of information filled Xuan's mind, but before he could process any of it, Varina's voice rang out:
"He, he moved." The moment he had opened his eyes was surely caught by Varina.
She pointed a shaky hand…
Xuan swallowed hard, finally caught. He raised both hands weakly as he pushed himself upright on the bed.
"…I swear, this is not what it looks like."
"Not what it looks like?" Varina's voice dripped with disbelief. "Sweetheart, it looks exactly like what it looks like."
Her gaze dropped downward. "And it's… pointing at us."
Unbeknownst to Xuan, his hardened cock was aimed directly at the two women like a sharp spear poised to strike at any moment.
"V-Varina! Don't say it like that!" Yun Xin'er squeaked. Her face flushed, yet she couldn't stop her eyes from darting downward.
Reacting so violently to their presence.
Even if he used both hands, he couldn't cover himself; not when his body was reacting so violently to their presence.
So he did the only thing he could do:
he opened his mouth and let his shameless tongue do damage control.
"Beautiful goddesses, I—I didn't do this on purpose…"
He gestured helplessly at the "culprit."
"How do you expect me to react when two drop-dead gorgeous women are standing over me in barely any clothes?"
He forced a weak smile.
"I'm a man, not a stone tablet…"
"Glib tongue? Don't flatter yourself. One more word out of you and… I swear, I'll cut it myself, even if it is a waste!" Varina snapped.
"…Please don't. I'm very attached to that part of me," he coughed lightly. "Emotionally. Spiritually. Completely."
"You—!" Varina's retort was halfway up her throat when Yun Xin'er suddenly stepped forward, cutting her off.
"No way." She moved in front of Xuan, protecting him with her body.
"Don't worry, little brother," she said gently, giving him a reassuring glance. "As long as I am here, Varina wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
Varina clicked her tongue, folding her arms under her chest.
"Tch. Overprotective much… but fine."
She shot Xuan a glare sharp enough to shave stone.
"But still, he can't possibly stay here."
Yun Xin'er frowned. "And why not?"
"Because my sect doesn't take in strays we know nothing about," Varina said flatly.
Then a slow, cunning smile spread across her face. "Coincidentally… disciple recruitment is just the day after tomorrow."
She lifted her chin slightly, satisfied with her own cleverness. "If he passes, he can enter as an outer disciple and stay. That's the highest I'm willing to compromise."
"Deal!" Xuan blurted out at this moment despite his hands over his mouth.
"Deal? Little brother, Varina's sect is a Hegemon force in the Mystic Profound Lower Realm," Yun Xin'er said, worry tightening her voice. "Just becoming an outer disciple is already impossible for most."
She looked at him with genuine concern, thinking he didn't understand the weight of the challenge.
But instead of discouraging Xuan, her words only sparked a brighter confidence in his eyes.
So it's a big sect, huh?
Even better.
Xuan straightened slightly, patting his bare chest with a grin that was way too bold for someone still completely naked.
"Don't worry, Sister Xin'er. I'm confident I can definitely become an outer disciple."
His confidence surged from the burning certainty inside him.
Naturally, his new cheat made him feel unstoppable.
"Tch. Confident, are we? You really think passing as an outer disciple of my sect is that simple?" Varina's voice dripped with mocking sweetness.
"You may be bold… but your physique doesn't even have the basics to cultivate. You're just a mortal body. Nothing special. Nothing extraordinary."
With a flick of her sleeve and a scornful glance, she turned and walked out of the room; her curvaceous butt swaying with each step like she had just won an argument.
The door closed behind her with a sharp thud.
Xuan finally exhaled, shoulders loosening as the tension bled out of him.
"…She really hates me, huh," he muttered, half to himself.
Yun Xin'er offered him a soft smile. "She doesn't hate you. She just… doesn't like it when she's easily swayed by worldly desires."
Xuan examined her more closely, their eyes meeting and locking with each other.
His eyes couldn't help but examine her curves; massive tits that spilled over any robe, a waist he could wrap around with one arm, and an ass so fat and firm he already knew it would bounce for days.
From what he'd heard, it was her who found him after he fell from the sky… and brought him here.
Yun Xin'er noticed the ravenous look in his eyes; how it lingered, how it traced her silhouette.
But instead of shying away, she stepped closer, each movement slow, controlled, and enchantingly graceful.

Her presence washed over him like warm fire.
"Little brother," she said softly, "are you feeling alright?"
"Alright, alright. Definitely alright," Xuan said quickly, awkwardly hopping off the bed.
Yun Xin'er's lips curved in a soft smile. "Well, since you're awake now… let me take you for a bath."
Before he could react, she grabbed his wrist.
Her fingers were warm, too warm, and then she dragged him out of the room.
…
Along the way, Xuan asked questions about his situation, and Yun Xin'er happily answered each one, believing he had lost his memories.
With every answer, Xuan gained a clearer understanding of the world he had entered.
Before long, they arrived at their destination: a flowing spring, its waters glimmering under the sunlight and steam rising above.
"Sister Yun Xin'er, are there others around here? I wouldn't want… cough cough!" Xuan cleared his throat awkwardly.
Yun Xin'er's eyes sparkled, clearly amused. "Don't worry, little brother. This spring is secluded; no one will disturb us. It's completely private."
With a playful smile, Yun Xin'er stepped closer to the spring. Without a hint of hesitation, she slipped out of her bra and panties and dove gracefully into the warm water.
Xuan stood there, dumbfounded by her complete disregard for privacy. Was she toying with him, or simply unaware of the effect she had?
"What are you waiting for?" Yun Xin'er called out, waving her hands through the water. "Jump in! This spiritual dew will help calm your nerves."
Xuan felt his blood boiling at this moment. "Stay calm, you must stay calm." Then he took a deep breath and jumped into the spring.
"You see, the water doesn't bite," Yun Xin'er said, her eyes flicking to his handsome face with a teasing glint.

"Sister Yun Xin'er… are you always… like this?" Xuan asked, his voice faltering slightly.
In the crystal-clear water, there was nothing to obscure the view between them. His gaze inadvertently drifted, and he caught sight of her most intimate parts.
"Of course not," Yun Xin'er replied, her tone playful yet gentle. "I'm only like this with little brother. After all, I've always taken care of you, seen all your… bits. So it's only natural that you see mine, right?"
