Chapter 228: Light
Beneath the dark mist.
Upon the smooth bluestone slabs, luxurious garments had been spread out to serve as a makeshift bed. Two naked figures lay entwined upon them, possessing a certain free-spiritedness, as if the world itself were their bedchamber.
Gently cradling the beauty in his arms, Muen felt the exquisite touch of her soft, fragrant skin. He looked down at his Senior Sister—her delicate body still trembling slightly, her eyes misty, her face flushed like peach blossoms, and her breath as sweet as orchids. An overwhelming sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
Yes! I won!
Though he had been humiliatingly pinned down by her at the start, that was only because of the empowerment from her snake transformation.
Once the transformation was undone, his Senior Sister was just an ordinary girl with a delicate frame. Her usual training focused on magic and potions; how could she possibly compare to an ultimate macho man like him, who coughed up blood and broke bones for fun?
Not to mention, his Crimson Flame provided a boost to his stamina. Otherwise, after everything he’d been through, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long before he could even think about doing this with her.
Thank you, Withered King.
I’ll be sure to burn a couple of ox kidneys for you later as an offering!
Muen nuzzled against his Senior Sister’s faintly scented hair, his eyes shimmering with affection. However, the moment he recalled the scene of him finally taking charge and making her moan in pleasure beneath him, a surge of heat rose in his chest once more.
He had to admit, the feeling was absolutely divine.
While she had started with a desperate, "all-or-nothing" attitude, once the Snake Transformation Disease was cured, she reverted to the bashful shyness of an ordinary girl experiencing her first time.
After all, "experienced drivers" like An—who could firmly seize the initiative and grind him into the dirt on their first go—were a rare breed.
Even his Senior Sister’s soft moans had been somewhat restrained at first.
But that sense of deliberate suppression, which would occasionally shatter into unmasked, melodic whimpers before her beloved, was a contrast that immediately upgraded Muen’s firepower from a mortar to a heavy artillery piece, increasing his "hardness" tenfold.
Moreover, when she completely lost herself in the joys of their union, the sheer allure on her stunning face was practically overflowing.
It was the very definition of soul-stirring.
Thinking of this, Muen couldn't help but peck Anna lightly on the forehead. His large hands began to wander restlessly again, stroking her jade-like body.
When his hand lingered on a certain perfectly curved, pert area, Muen couldn't resist giving it a firm squeeze.
As expected, his first impression hadn't been wrong. Compared to the "surging waves" in the front, this plateau usually hidden beneath her skirts was his Senior Sister’s most captivating feature.
It was just a pity that since it was her first time, many positions couldn't be unlocked yet. Otherwise...
"Junior!"
Just as Muen was lost in his fantasies, a coy, reproachful voice reached his ears. He immediately felt a sharp pinch on the soft flesh of his waist.
"Hiss..."
Wincing in pain, Muen pleaded for mercy. "Ow, ow, ow! Easy, Senior Sister, take it easy."
"Now you know what pain feels like?"
Anna finally recovered from the afterglow that had nearly sent her soul flying. She gave Muen a flirtatious, sidelong glance. "You were so rough just now. You really are a bad boy, Junior."
"Hehe, you're the bad one, Senior Sister. Who told you to be so enchanting?"
Muen chuckled wickedly. Ignoring her slight struggles, he continued to cop a feel.
"Alright, it’s time to get up. Who knows how long we’ve been in here? I don't know what's happening outside," Anna said, slapping his wandering hand away with a pout.
"It’s only been a little over two hours. It’s not like the world is ending. What’s there to fear?"
Muen pulled her closer, saying earnestly, "And even if the world were ending, no one could stop me from cuddling with you."
"...Always so silver-tongued."
A deep look of love flashed in Anna’s eyes. She looked up and gave Muen a light peck on the corner of his mouth. "Be good. Let go for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Oh." Muen reluctantly let go.
But just as Anna was about to stand up, she realized Muen was still staring at her intently.
"Junior."
"What is it?" Muen blinked innocently. "I’m not doing anything."
Anna’s cheeks grew even redder, looking so fresh they seemed ready to drip with moisture. "Junior, close your eyes first."
"I won't!"
Muen replied righteously, "In broad daylight and under the clear sky, why should I close my eyes? Is something happening here that shouldn't be seen?"
"You pest."
Anna lightly punched Muen’s chest. "Close them. Being stared at while getting dressed... I’m a bit shy."
"Haven't I seen everything there is to see? What’s there to be shy about?"
Muen feigned ignorance. "How about this? I’ll get dressed first so you can watch me?"
"...Junior."
"Hmm?"
"You’ve turned bad."
"Have I?"
"I’ll have to give you a little punishment."
"Punishment?"
Muen was taken aback. Before he could react, Anna suddenly flipped over and pinned him down. She flicked her delicate tongue and gave his chest a light lick.
"Hiss—"
Muen shuddered instantly. Under that exquisite sensation, the fire in his lower abdomen showed immediate signs of reigniting.
But he quickly regained his composure.
"Se-Senior Sister..."
"Hmm?"
"This... this isn't right, is it?"
"What’s not right?"
Anna’s breath was like orchids, her breathing shallow and heavy. She was clearly getting into the mood.
"You just said you didn't know what was happening out—"
"Let the outside world wait."
"But... it’s your first time. Going this hard might be bad for your body." Muen’s gaze flickered toward the clear crimson "plum blossom" on the ground beside them.
"Is that so?"
Anna tilted her head. "But I feel like I’ve already mostly recovered."
Damn. So unlike An’s explosive bursts, you’re going for a high-recovery build, Senior Sister?
"But..."
Muen was about to say more when Anna pressed a finger to his lips.
"Junior, didn't you want to watch?"
Anna slowly sat upright, fully revealing every beautiful detail of her enchanting body to Muen.
She licked her red lips, her waist swaying slightly as she spoke with a provocative gaze:
"I’m showing you everything now. What, don't you like it?"
"Dammit!"
Muen’s eyes instantly turned red as his "pillar" stood tall once more.
"Snake demon! Watch as this old monk subdues you!"

An unknown amount of time passed.
When Anna finally stood up to dress—her eyes flirtatious, her face flushed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her movements a bit awkward—a completely drained Muen stared blankly at the dark mist, tears nearly welling in his eyes.
Between his lack of mana and his unhealed injuries from before, he had ultimately suffered defeat at the hands of this vixen.
Training and getting stronger... it really can't wait.
When I get back, I’m soaking in the Mercury Well for dozens of hours!
As he thought this, Muen also got up to dress. Suddenly, he noticed that the Dark Moon Mist shrouding the area was dissipating at a visible rate.
"This is..."
"The Moon... is dead..."
Anna gazed up at the infinitely distant firmament. As if sensing something, she murmured in a low voice.
A single clear tear traced a path down her cheek once more, seemingly signaling that the destiny weighing upon her had completely vanished.
"Senior Sister..." Muen called out, somewhat worried.
"I’m fine. This is a good thing."
Anna wiped her tears and smiled. "For many people, this is a very good thing."
"Is that so?"
Muen smiled as well. He reached out his hand and said, "Then let’s go, Senior Sister."
"Mhm."
Anna placed her soft hand into Muen’s palm. Following him, she stepped into the light that was flooding the entire world.
