When I returned to the basement, Emily had put on a shirt, working on the devices, but she was distracted.
“What was that, I heard gunshots?” Emily asked when I arrived.
“It’s not a safe neighborhood,” I said. She was tense, but not tense enough to realize what had happene...

“What’s going on?” Emily asked, curious, not showing any sign of panic.
Understandable, as she had no idea about the difference between the two warnings. I didn’t give any outward sign of my panic. I didn’t want to ruin everything after I led her here. “It’s a bar emergency. ...

I had decided not to ask her ‘help’ again until we could reach the shore, but it was hard not to change my mind as I watched Lillian dress. The desire was dancing in my chest, begging me for another release.
Her shy, inviting glances didn’t make the decision any easier.
I refu...

“Oh, you want to help me,” I said even as I continued to row, my smile naughty.
She avoided my gaze shyly, but that didn’t stop her from removing her shirt, once again revealing her ragged dress underneath, which, even after I repaired it, covered nowhere near as it was supposed to b...

“I can’t believe we got away—” she started, her face flushed, excited with her success as the adrenaline filled her body.
I pressed my finger against her lips, silencing her.
“Don’t tempt fate,” I warned her. “We’re not away yet. Get in the boat.”
She foll...

“ … Now, we have the last stage of our plan,” I said as I returned to Lillian’s side. I had circled around the island for the last hour, and searched for any sentries they might have placed. Luckily, there was no sentry. They assumed that they were safe after driving the pirates away.

“Not particularly, no,” Emily answered with a frustrated growl as she tugged her large work jacket. “When you said a disguise, it wasn’t what I expected. This jacket is ...

When Aisnam returned, it was already noon, and she was once again in her servant's disguise. Physically, she looked fine, which didn’t surprise me.
Cultivators had far bigger explosive potential, but one thing they lagged behind was endurance. It took a lot of time to absorb Qi, and even...

Three days.
It took a week after I had helped Pearyin move to Markas before things at the capital had come ahead. A week that I had mostly spent in Capital, only occasionally leaving to check with Pearyin and develop the formation further whenever I went out to ‘facilitate the trade’.<...

“D-did you finish fixing my dress?” Lillian asked as she shuffled cutely, pulling her shirt down.
“Almost,” I said as I did my best to turn her dress into something wearable with a needle out of stone and coarse sewing thread I had managed to fashion out of plant fiber that I picke...

As Lillian faced me, her beauty was captivating. She was wearing nothing but drenched and scrapped remains of her fancy dress, but as it gathered around her waist, somehow, it looked on her. Her arms were at her chest, trying to cover her breasts shyly, but not entirely succeeding. The droplets t...

“How are we going to get out?” Lillian asked as she looked at the collapsed entrance. “I can probably cut through the rocks to reopen the entrance, but it would take too long. My kidnappers will catch up soon.”

“Hello, sir. It’s time to order,” the waitress said with a raspy voice that was surprisingly flawless. I had a feeling it was less about her seduction experience, and more about her skills as a musician.
