154: The approaching storm(づ●─● )づ
Moonlight lingered outside the curtains, painting two overlapping shadows like ink wash.
The wind suddenly stilled, leaving only a few faint rays of light gently swaying on the wall.
A subtle fragrance wafted, roses unfurled layer by layer in the night, and dewdrops silently slid down the curves of the petals.
The distant sound of the tide was faint and indistinct, and the hushed whispers between lips were also hard to hear clearly.
A shiver like fingertips across strings, the music hadn't begun, but breathing had already lost its rhythm.
As the night deepened, the candle wick in the tent suddenly sparked, pulling the entire room into a gentle darkness.
Two clusters of sparks chased each other in the depths, finally merging into a hazy warm mist.
The weather was clear, the dew was heavy, and the flowers drooped; the absurd night was over.
...
After a night of passionate confrontation, Fang Yun made Vavinia realize her own weakness and powerlessness once again.
Two timeouts and three halftime breaks were all proof of Fang Yun's strength.
"Is this the power of infinite stamina and infinite energy?"
Fang Yun's sigh entered Vavinia's ears without causing a ripple, because she was already somewhat unconscious at that time.
The consequence of not eating dinner and still having a very happy time is an empty stomach.
As it neared midnight, Vavinia's stamina failed, so Fang Yun had to take some bread from the box for her, and incidentally snuck into her tent to get a few bottles of water.
Amidst Vavinia's indignant protests, Fang Yun smiled and promised that he would never let her go hungry because of such things again.
Vavinia heard the teasing in Fang Yun's words, but ultimately, her skills were inferior.
So she could only imagine the bread in her hand as someone and take two fierce bites to express her dissatisfaction.
Vavinia, after recovering her stamina, let Fang Yun experience what a 'finger challenge' was like.
Fang Yun was tormented by the feeling of abrupt cessation and could only apologize helplessly in the end.
Having won back a round, Vavinia was satisfied and readily approved Fang Yun's request for his flight to take off.
Of course, after Fang Yun entered 'sage mode', he quickly made Vavinia pay an unbearable price.
In the very end, last night's fierce battle concluded with Fang Yun's victory once again.
Deep sleep always comes after excessive fatigue.
Six hours passed in a flash, and at midnight on the 21st, the sun rose as usual.
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Fang Yun opened his eyes on time.
Turning his head to look, Vavinia, who was sleeping soundly, lay quietly beside his pillow.
Fang Yun reached out and brushed away the messy hair on her cheek, beginning today's "daily task"—appreciating Vavinia's beauty.
After filling his hungry stomach with Vavinia's ravishing charm, Fang Yun's gaze shifted downwards, he opened the communication interface, and several messages immediately popped up and hit him in the face.

Hua Meiying: "Fang Yun, Xuerou and I discussed showing you the changes that have appeared on our prosthetics the day before yesterday, but we were too busy with training yesterday and didn't have time. While resting last night, Xuerou and I took some photos of each other and have sent them to you. You can take a look. (Attachment: Photos × 25)" (Comm)
Bai Xuerou: "Brother Fang Yun, have you received the photos of Hua Meiying and me? After you finish looking, remember to give us a good review. If the photos we took while enduring our shyness end up receiving a bad review, I will definitely cry a lot. (pitifully.jpg)" (Comm)
---October 21, 2075, 00:05---
Hua Meiying: "Oh right, there's one more thing I want to ask you. Xuerou and I both need to have our prosthetics regularly inspected and maintained. I wonder if you know about this? If you already know, could you tell us the corresponding time, location, and other arrangements? (Succubus fancy emoji/thanks.jpg)" (Comm)
Last night's battle was intense, and he didn't have time to check messages.
Now that he had time, Fang Yun read through the messages one by one.
The photos Hua Meiying sent, the first few were quite normal, but the latter dozen or so became increasingly unrestrained. Not only were the poses bolder than the last, but the composition also increasingly highlighted their characteristic body parts, such as Hua Meiying's succubus tail and Bai Xuerou's cat ears (as for what other characteristic body parts, I don't need to say more, those who understand will understand).
『As a succubus, what's wrong with seducing my master? (righteously.jpg)』
『As a cute little cat, I think there's nothing wrong with showing my body to my owner without reservation. (hands on hips.jpg)』
Fang Yun calmly looked through all the photos, then closed the communication interface.
Vavinia, who had woken up at some point, was looking at Fang Yun's eyes with a smile.
After discovering that Vavinia had woken up, Fang Yun, who had been expressionless, immediately showed a gentle smile.
"Vavinia, you're awake. Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou sent me a few messages last night, and I've forwarded them to you."
"Mm, I saw them as soon as I woke up. Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou are both very beautiful, ... and very bold."
Fang Yun's lips curved upwards, and he reached out to gently caress Vavinia's cheek:
"What, are you jealous?"
"Mm, just a little."
Looking at Vavinia's pouted little mouth, Fang Yun leaned his head closer and fiercely kissed her red lips.
After a long tongue kiss lasting dozens of seconds, the two slowly separated.
A glistening thread stretched and broke in the air.
"Vavinia is a unique existence, no matter how many people there are in this world."
"In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman."
"I will only love you in this life. I give you all my love, and you give me all your love, okay?"
Facing Fang Yun's confession, Vavinia's emotions surged, and an endless stream of emotion and love poured out from her heart irresistibly.
Vavinia couldn't help but move closer to Fang Yun, tilting her head back to kiss his lips.
A fleeting touch, a mere taste? Nonexistent.
Fang Yun would respond to Vavinia with an incredibly passionate kiss.
Fiery, deep, warm.
Following Fang Yun's rhythm, Vavinia was immersed in happiness.
After a deep kiss that was as brief as a moment yet as long as eternity, Vavinia gave her response.
"Mm."
"..."
The gasps after the kiss echoed in the small space; both Fang Yun and Vavinia were a little breathless from being too engrossed.
"Vavinia, I'll take some photos of you when we have time."
"Okay."
Fang Yun and Vavinia looked at each other, both showing happy smiles.
"Oh, right. I have another surprise for you."
"A surprise?"
"Yes, a surprise."
Fang Yun smiled slyly:
"My sidearm—'remnant echo', now belongs to you."
Hearing Fang Yun's words, Vavinia was stunned for a moment, her expression gradually changing from confusion to surprise.
She looked at Fang Yun with some disbelief:
"Are you serious?"
Fang Yun smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Vavinia immediately cried out happily.
"Fang Yun, I'm so happy! Thank you."
Vavinia grabbed Fang Yun's head and pressed his face into her embrace.
After more than ten seconds, Fang Yun's muffled voice sounded:
"Vavinia, you can let go, I'm satisfied."
Vavinia's pretty face blushed, and she released him.
"Anyway, I'm very happy. I will take good care of it from now on."
Fang Yun looked at her happy appearance and smiled with satisfaction.
"You can be happy for a little longer. In five minutes, we'll get up."
Vavinia shook her head while smiling and answered sweetly:
"Okay~."
Fang Yun rested his head on the waves and opened the communication interface:
"Hua Meiying, when the Four-Eyed Gang abducted you, they also took various materials related to you, including the '*Doll Prosthetic Maintenance Manual'."
"I've read the manual, maintaining your prosthetics doesn't require overly high-end instruments. The family's prosthetic doctor should have the corresponding instruments there."
"Even if they don't, don't worry, leave it to me to solve. The maintenance frequency is once a week, right? The next maintenance should be in five days, so wait for my message then."
Just after sending the message to Hua Meiying, before Fang Yun could close the communication interface, Old Captain's message arrived immediately after.
