Vol 4. Chapter 120: Mana Replenishment
"Mmm, Sister Yumo~"
At this moment, inside Yumo's bedroom, the black-haired girl was sitting elegantly on the sofa with her legs crossed, while Miss Mengxi, the Child of Destiny, lay quietly across Yumo's lap.
Taking advantage of this rare moment of peace and tranquility, Miss Mengxi slowly closed her eyes, silently savoring the feeling of Sister Yumo's presence surrounding her from every direction.
The refreshing, ethereal fragrance, the steady sound of her breathing, the gentle movement of her hair, the sensation of their skin touching...
Everything was so familiar to Mengxi.
Everything about Yumo was etched deeply into Mengxi's memory, impossible for her to forget.
And now, after nearly two months apart, experiencing all these familiar sensations once again made Mengxi's heart race uncontrollably. A faint blush gradually spread across her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Feeling the softness of Yumo's thighs beneath her, and the gentle touch of Sister Yumo's hand stroking the back of her head...
At this very moment, Mengxi finally felt, with absolute certainty, that she was once again being enveloped in Sister Yumo's tender affection. Her heart overflowed with happiness and contentment.
Surrounded by this blissful feeling, Mengxi greedily took a deep breath while lying on Yumo's lap.
As the air, carrying Yumo's fragrance and traces of Shadow of Silence Power, flowed into her nostrils, an indescribable sense of comfort instantly washed over Mengxi.
Her entire body and mind relaxed as never before, and the strange restlessness that had been suppressed deep within her heart for so long finally vanished without a trace.
"Sister Yumo... Hehehe~"
Mengxi let out a somewhat dazed, delighted giggle, her voice as pleasant as the tinkling of silver bells.
For Mengxi, absorbing the tiny amounts of Shadow of Silence Power emanating from Yumo could indeed greatly benefit her cultivation.
That was precisely why, in the beginning, Mengxi had greedily absorbed the power radiating from Yumo's body, constantly inventing all kinds of excuses to cling to Sister Yumo and rub against her.
However, after spending some time doing this, Mengxi gradually realized that Yumo's Shadow of Silence Power was actually a double-edged sword for her.
While helping her increase her strength, it was also subtly causing her to become increasingly obsessed with it.
Little by little, she was turning into a strange girl who could no longer live without her sister's power...
The current Mengxi seemed to have developed an addiction to Yumo's power.
Whenever she absorbed or came into contact with it, she would experience an extraordinary sense of comfort. Yet whenever she went for some time without touching Sister Yumo's power, her body would grow unbearably hot, and even her thoughts would become muddled.
Although she had already replenished herself with a generous dose of Sister Yumo's energy before they separated in the Snow Night Empire, more than two months had passed since then...
Recently, that strange, inexplicable feeling had started tormenting her once again...
Every night, her entire body would grow feverishly hot, leaving her drenched in fragrant sweat.
She would toss and turn endlessly in bed, unable to settle down, with nothing but Sister Yumo occupying her thoughts...
As a result, Mengxi had barely managed to get any proper rest throughout the entire past week.
...
Sometimes, Mengxi even suspected that Yumo had deliberately approached her in the beginning specifically to make her absorb the Shadow of Silence Power, thereby using these withdrawal symptoms to control her.
However, after thinking about Sister Yumo's innocent and adorable appearance, Mengxi immediately dismissed this suspicion.
Her dear sister probably wasn't that smart...
(Yumo: Hey! ╰（｀□′）╯)
...
When Mengxi saw the Sister Yumo she had been longing for day and night suddenly appear in her classroom today, her heart had practically exploded with joy.
If it hadn't been for the numerous classmates watching nearby, Mengxi might have rushed straight toward the beautiful girl and pulled her tightly into her embrace.
However, considering the bigger picture, Mengxi managed to suppress her impulses.
Then, when evening arrived...
After entering Sister Yumo's room and finding that there was no one else around, Mengxi finally began to lose control of herself.
Although she had always hoped to avoid leaving Sister Yumo with the impression that she was some kind of pervert, the sight of her beloved sister sitting on the sofa, seemingly fresh out of the bath and looking utterly irresistible, was simply too much for her.
The restlessness that Mengxi had suppressed for so long finally overwhelmed her self-control.
And so, without another word, the silver-haired girl threw aside the documents in her hands and lunged straight into Sister Yumo's embrace, finally enjoying the affectionate caresses she had missed for so long...
"Hehehe, I... I love Sister Yumo the most~"
The silver-haired girl continued murmuring these words as though talking in her sleep.
As for this...
Our dear Miss Yumo merely smiled helplessly, with a trace of indulgent affection in her expression, and continued gently stroking Mengxi's little head.
"Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you, you naughty girl..."
Glancing out of the corner of her eye at the documents scattered all over the floor, Yumo couldn't help sighing in resignation while also letting out a breath of relief.
To tell the truth...
When Mengxi had suddenly thrown herself forward and embraced her earlier, Miss Yumo had been genuinely startled.
Memories of the indescribable things that had happened inside the Black Rose tent immediately surfaced in her mind.
For a moment, Yumo thought that this naughty girl was about to do something outrageous again, and a rosy blush involuntarily spread across her beautiful cheeks.
Considering the design of the long dress she was currently wearing, Mengxi only needed to give it one forceful downward tug to strip her completely naked.
Yumo had hurriedly raised her hands to clutch her neckline, determined not to let the other girl do anything improper.
However, she soon realized...
This time, she had simply been overthinking things.
Mengxi had merely hugged her and rubbed her little face against her. She hadn't shown any other indecent intentions whatsoever...
And so...
After shamefully shaking those strange thoughts out of her mind, Yumo quietly settled back onto the sofa, allowing Mengxi to lie across her thighs and nuzzle against her as much as she pleased.
Although, deep down, she couldn't help feeling just a tiny bit disappointed...
"Sigh."
Looking down at the silver-haired girl whose expression was utterly dazed, and who kept mumbling what sounded like words spoken in her sleep, Yumo let out a somewhat conflicted sigh.
"To think... what this girl told me before was actually true..."
Previously, after the two of them had been completely intimate with each other inside the tent, Yumo had learned about the so-called "withdrawal symptoms" from Mengxi.
According to Mengxi, if she went too long without coming into contact with Yumo's aura, she would start behaving rather strangely.
Yumo had been shocked by this explanation, but she hadn't entirely believed it.
After all, she had been thoroughly fooled by this girl before, so Miss Yumo had learned to be a little more cautious this time.
Who knew whether that naughty girl had only said those things to make it easier to take advantage of her later?
However, judging by Mengxi's feverishly hot body and the way the power within her was gradually stabilizing after absorbing some of Yumo's energy, it seemed that the girl hadn't been lying after all.
That little brat's naughty mouth was always trying to deceive me, but her body's reactions can't be faked.
Seriously...
To think that the dignified Child of Destiny, the heroine of this entire world...
𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Would actually become addicted to the body of someone like me, the final boss...
Ah, no!
I mean, addicted to my power...
"What on earth is going on here...? Hmm... Although, it's not like I dislike it..."
...
Besides, the reason she boldly threw herself into my arms earlier must have been because she'd already reached the limits of her endurance, right?
Thinking this...
The unpleasant feelings that had arisen in Yumo's heart because of the earlier misunderstanding completely disappeared.
At the same time, the black-haired girl began glancing around somewhat uneasily.
After all, the position she and Mengxi were currently in was, to some extent, rather improper.
If little Yuan'er happened to see them like this, Yumo genuinely wouldn't know how to explain herself.
However, after spreading out her senses for a moment, Yumo was rather puzzled to discover that she couldn't detect Yuan'er's presence anywhere in the entire teachers' apartment building...
That child seemed to have...
"Gone out to play?"
She went out to play right after taking a bath?
She's already been playing all day... and she's still this energetic at night?
Was Yuan'er always such a playful child?
Yumo tilted her head in confusion.
Nevertheless, alongside her puzzlement, the girl also felt a wave of relief.
Whatever the case, at least she wouldn't have to worry about explaining anything to Yuan'er for the time being.
Also...
Where's that Saiboke brat?
That aura... Why has he been staying in the bathroom this whole time?
Did he eat something that upset his stomach...?
Hmm, forget it. I should give the kid some privacy.
...
"It's just... We can't keep doing this forever, can we?"
Yumo pursed her lips and looked down at the girl lying across her thighs with a somewhat troubled expression.
Although hearing Mengxi repeatedly mumble things like "I love Sister Yumo the most" made Yumo secretly delighted, she couldn't simply let the girl continue muttering to herself in a daze forever, could she?
Who knew when Yuan'er might finish playing and come back?
She needed to wake this girl up quickly.
Hmmmm...
But...
She's been absorbing my power for so long already, hasn't she?
Why hasn't she recovered yet?
Could it be that she still hasn't absorbed enough?
If she hasn't had enough... should I help her replenish a little more??
With that thought in mind, Miss Yumo slowly extended her slender index finger.
Streams of crimson light began gradually gathering around the girl's fingertip...
