It had taken a while, but Xiao was finally going to take part in what he considered to be the first real arc of the story. The prospect felt incredibly exciting and nerve-wracking, but thankfully, he was not alone.

He had always had his ghostly master, and now, he also had Ai by his side at all times.

They had begun their journey a few weeks ago, and so far, nothing too exciting had happened. However, the trip was far from boring, Ai was always rather affectionate past a certain time… Much to Xiao’s delight, there was always something to look forward to at the end of the day.

The protagonist had had to camp outside for the most part–But today, they had reached a small town, and were thus renting out a bedroom inside a local inn.

Xiao had decided to walk around the town as they were nearing their destination.

This plot point was simple: In the past, Elder Gang had travelled around a lot and had discovered several old ruins and natural wonders. However, he had been too weak at the time to take full advantage of them. Upon coming back after achieving a much higher level of cultivation, he had discovered that he had completely outgrown these areas and the treasures they held…

Having already been an elder of the Myriad-Arm Sect by that time, he decided to conceal these places and allow a future disciple with great talent to tackle them and earn whatever reward was hidden within.

This honour naturally befell the protagonist, Xiao.

He was nearing the first ruin.

He knew that its surroundings would be infested with bandit cultivators… They were the reason he was out in town. He was checking if any of these bandits were roaming around, as logically, this place should be where they got their food and resources.

If Xiao’s memory was correct. These bandits noticed by chance that the area was protected by an array, and were currently trying to break through it without much success, since Elder Gang had made sure to have a competent array maker on the job.

The crimson-eyed youth hoped to be able to locate and take out a few of these bandits ahead of time… This shouldn’t be too complicated, considering that they had a dress code and basically screamed at anyone who would listen that they were part of the ‘Black Bear Gang’.

‘Only the leader should be able to pose a problem, but it’s best to be careful and thin out the herd if possible…’ Xiao preferred to be cautious, instead of overly reckless like the original iteration of the character he had taken over.

It was somewhat absurd just how many times the fictional Xiao had gotten himself into dangerous situations, nearly getting himself killed by purely refusing to think ahead for five seconds. 

In hindsight, it had happened way too many times in the story…

Xiao indeed managed to get his hands on a few bandits by just walking around. They didn’t even know what hit them, as they weren’t much above regular people due to the awful manner in which they had cultivated.

But eventually, as the sun was beginning to set, Xiao ran into someone familiar who was no bandit…

“Hello, I thought I recognised you!” she mimicked a purr and immediately stepped close, leaving Xiao barely any time to actually process things.

“It must be fate that brought us together again~”

“B-Bedi… What a surprise!”

Brown hair, cat ears, cat tail, orange eyes, standing at a meter and sixty-three centimeters in height, and possessing enthralling curves… It was no doubt, it was the very same girl who had serviced Xiao during his second trip to Paradiso.

The crimson-eyed disciple swallowed his saliva.

“I… I didn’t expect to see you again! I thought…”

“That girls like me weren’t allowed to leave Paradiso? You would be right in most circumstances, but it seems like being hired by a noble granted me an early exit~” Bedi got even closer and ran one hand up Xiao’s chest.

“You left quite the impression on me, you know~? I am a simple girl, and no one else had ever made love to me so passionately… I have been thinking about you ever since then. It can’t be a simple coincidence that we would meet again! It must mean something~” the beastfolk was getting awfully intimate in public. Thankfully, the streets were rather empty at this hour, but it didn’t mean that no one could see them!

“I… I already am in a relationship…” he said, but Bedi just smiled up at him.

“Why does that matter? Can’t a big and strong cultivator like yourself have multiple women for himself?” she was subtly pushing him in an alley whilst speaking, licking her lips with a lusty look in her eyes.

Xiao wasn’t sure what to retort with. He had taken over a character who was supposed to assemble a huge harem, after all! And this world had very different norms…

“Perhaps, but I-”

“She doesn’t have to know, Xiao~”

She got on her toes to get closer to his face, pulling him down by grabbing onto his clothes.

Her lips made contact with his. At first, Xiao pushed Bedi back, but it was a half-assed attempt, the catgirl immediately went for it again without resistance.

Their tongues intertwined together for a few minutes as Bedi reached down toward his crotch, finding the hidden sword already hardening.

The world was getting darker as their lips separated, a line of saliva linking them together as they breathed warmly.

“Shouldn’t we go somewhere more private?” said Xiao.

“Is there a need for that? I am yours. Just claim me right here~” she replied, and instantly felt his weapon harden even further.

Bedi chuckled and licked her lips again before crouching down in front of Xiao, expertly undoing the belt of his robes, extracting the man-rod, and allowing it to stand straight as she immediately went to stroking its shaft and massaging the sack.

Xiao let out a low groan, making the beastfolk smile before wrapping her lips around his tip.

Looking down and seeing a woman who was not Ai pleasuring him, the crimson-eyed disciple felt ashamed. However, Bedi’s technique was simply too good. He could hardly control himself. The pleasure was so great that he couldn’t think straight…

‘Shit…’ he just went for it, grabbing Bedi’s head, feeling her enticing feline ears as he pushed himself all the way down her throat.

Any amount of shame he might have felt was disintegrated by lust as he looked down to see her orange eyes lovingly staring up at him, even as he thrusted down against her face.

“…I am coming-!”
