Pure white moonlight shone upon the even whiter skin of the young girl, revealing a clear and pure beauty.
Beneath her soft silver hair, framed by the hazy moonlight, a dreamlike face carried a shy flush of red. She did not quite dare to meet Li Ke's eyes.
On her full chest, the places the moonlight could not reach formed deep, inviting shadows. Li Ke found it truly difficult to imagine what kind of growth or influence could have given a girl like her such perfectly measured fullness.
The gentle swell that faintly showed through the thin green dress, and the smaller peaks rising upon those larger ones, confirmed one thing.
Seria was wearing very little underneath.
The girl held a thin blanket in her arms, yet she did not use it to cover her body. She only pressed it against her lower abdomen, which only made her chest stand out more.
Wearing only the dress, Seria's feet curled restlessly inside her slippers. Although she had already made up her mind, when the moment truly arrived she still could not help wanting to flee.
But she could not.
Looking at Li Ke, who was staring straight at her, Seria's mind grew increasingly blank. Yet the desire to repay him still forced the words from her lips.
"Um… um…"
She swallowed once before continuing.
"…Li Ke… Mr. Li Ke, I've come to repay you."
She had often heard stories of rescued girls offering themselves in gratitude. If Li Ke had been willing to accept money as payment, Seria would not have minded.
The problem was that Li Ke clearly had no need of her money. Although she did not know where her knowledge came from, she understood the value of the equipment he wore perfectly well. It was far beyond what a girl who ran a small inn could ever afford.
Uncle Linus's funds were limited as well. Hiring those people to rescue her had already cost him a great deal. Seria did not want to trouble him any further.
"This…"
Li Ke hesitated. Under normal circumstances he should refuse. Seria's identity was a mystery; she could very well be an Apostle. But the problem was…
Even a female street fighter had given him so much energy.
What about Seria?
The undisputed heroine of this world?
Li Ke did not doubt for a moment that Seria was the female lead. No matter which world it was, Seria was always an important person. No matter whom you chose, Seria was the first woman you met—well, except for those who met the repair lady first.
Recently the story had even suggested that Seria's identity was more than just an Apostle; she was supposedly the greatest fragment of the Great Will or something of the sort.
Li Ke was not certain whether that was true. He had never paid much attention to the plot. He only cared about his own damage output.
So when faced with Seria, he truly hesitated.
Then he thought it over. He could always run away. What was there to fear?
Besides, Seria had come to him of her own accord. That made it even less frightening.
He smiled and slipped an arm around Seria's shoulders. Her somewhat delicate body trembled against him, yet she obediently yielded to his strength and allowed herself to be drawn into his embrace.
Instantly a pleasant fragrance filled his senses, bringing a comfort he could hardly describe. He buried his face in her hair and drew in a deep breath. That fresh, wonderful scent of a young girl left him completely unable to pull away.
It was simply too exquisite.
The girls of this world all felt quite pleasant, but someone like Seria—who gave him such a pure and innocent impression—was truly rare.
"…Come, Seria. I'll make sure you feel good."
Li Ke pulled her fully into his arms. His hand moved naturally to her buttocks. Softness immediately filled his palm, leaving him thoroughly satisfied.
They were small enough that one hand could almost cup an entire cheek, and he liked that very much.
"Ah!"
Seria let out a small cry of surprise, yet she blushed and nodded.
"Mm… mm… I'm looking forward to it…"
She did not know why she insisted on doing this. She only felt that Li Ke was completely different from anyone else, and so she desperately wanted to repay him. That feeling was so strong that she had ignored her own reason and come to his side in the middle of the night.
At this moment Seria's heart felt wonderfully warm. Simply lying in Li Ke's arms, feeling his presence and breathing in his scent, made her entire body grow pleasantly heated.
She took it for a normal reaction. After all, even though she possessed a great deal of knowledge, she was still only a young girl.
Li Ke's hand slipped beneath her skirt, yet he did not go straight to the main event. Instead he stroked her stomach. There was not a single bit of excess flesh; the skin was soft and smooth. When he caressed it, it felt as though he were touching a soft, warm piece of ice—almost no friction at all.
His entire palm rested against her lower abdomen and began to knead gently. The sensation of his warm, slightly rough hand moving across her belly felt strange to Seria. Yet as the heat gradually approached her lower abdomen, she felt her body growing stranger still.
At that moment Li Ke's fingers brushed across the pure white cloth. Seria could not help closing her eyes.
He found no hair at all. Given Seria's age, such smoothness could only mean one thing: she had never grown any to begin with.
Curious, Li Ke moved lower. Seria's body grew tighter and tighter.
She could clearly feel the rough texture of his fingers sliding across her skin, along with that strange scent and heat. It left her unable to escape the sensation—especially as his fingers drew closer and closer to her entrance. The nearer he came, the more tense she became.
When Li Ke's fingers lightly traced the entrance of her garden, he was surprised to discover that Seria possessed the most classic "mantou" shape. The opening was tightly closed. Only when he carefully parted it with his fingers did a narrow gap appear.
It was a touch light enough that even the sensitive Tsunade would not have reacted strongly.
Seria did.
"Ah!"
A wave of almost unimaginable pleasure swept through her entire body, as though she had been struck by electricity. Her body went completely rigid, and she instinctively pressed her head against Li Ke's chest.
Yet she clearly knew what she wanted. She wanted Li Ke to invade her body even more thoroughly, to push deeper and deeper until he was completely inside her.
She did not understand why. The intensity of the feeling had already made it impossible for her to search her mind for the meaning of such an act.
She simply felt that she wanted to possess Li Ke—completely.
That strange desire filled Seria with shame, yet she could not control it. Mist gathered in her eyes as she felt sorrow at her own shamelessness, but she quickly drove the sadness away.
"Li Ke saved me. I must repay him!"
She lifted her head. Her eyes were full of moisture, her heart racing so fast that she now looked thoroughly alluring. She gazed at Li Ke, her lips trembling slightly.
She wanted a kiss.
As a young girl she had fantasized about many beautiful romances. Although the present moment already felt romantic, she still wanted to receive a kiss from Li Ke before everything began.
Li Ke understood at once. He lowered his head and gently pressed his lips to Seria's soft, rosy ones. Her lips carried the pure taste of a young girl. When he parted the almost nonexistent resistance and captured her smooth little tongue, a sweet flavor spread through his mouth.
He quickly tangled with her tongue, letting his own savor more of her sweet juices and her soft, shy tongue.
Seria tasted a slightly astringent flavor from him, yet under his guidance she quickly understood how to make a kiss more pleasant. She responded eagerly and became thoroughly absorbed in it.
Li Ke had never felt such comfort before. Although only his tongue had entered Seria's mouth, it felt as though he had entered a warm, welcoming place. Her taste was utterly intoxicating. None of the women he had experienced before had made kissing feel this pleasant.
After two or three minutes both of them began to feel the lack of air and finally separated.
They had barely parted for a moment before their lips sought each other again, competing for breath. This time Li Ke no longer held back. His fingers began to gently rub and tease Seria's entrance.
Still lost in the kiss, Seria's eyes flew open. Her soft body trembled. The unknown pleasure nearly emptied her mind. Almost at once Li Ke's fingers were soaked by a thick rush of fluid.
He knew this meant she was ready—yet he had not expected Seria to be so abundant and delicious.
When they separated once more, Li Ke looked at Seria's thoroughly flushed face and withdrew his hand from beneath her skirt. Seeing the sticky, glittering liquid coating his fingers, he could not help teasing her.
"You're really delicious and juicy."
He licked his fingers without hesitation. Seria's mouth fell open in astonishment.
Yet Li Ke felt something completely different. It was…
Delicious?
He was thoroughly puzzled. Even Tsunade had only been a little sweet—understandable, since she was a plant-human with wooden genes. But the humans of this world were normal. He had already tasted Tangji; her flavor had been the same as any ordinary person's.
Seria's taste, however…
It was different. Not exactly sweet, but a more delicious flavor he could not quite describe. If forced to put it into words, it was a comfortable sensation more alluring than any honey or drink.
And after swallowing it he felt pleasant and wanted more.
Only then did he recall that he had experienced a similar feeling while tasting Seria's tongue earlier; he had simply been too absorbed to notice.
Watching him carefully savor the taste, Seria felt she might die of embarrassment. Yet seeing that Li Ke liked her body also filled her with a strange sense of happiness.
"Th-that…"
Seria lightly tugged on Li Ke's arm. He naturally lowered his head.
"Li… Li Ke… do you… like it a lot?"
Looking at his face, Seria felt she might faint, yet she still forced the question out.
Seeing the adorable girl, Li Ke immediately cast all such thoughts aside. Right now he was on the verge of exploding; whether it tasted good or not could wait for later.
He could carefully savor Seria's flavor in the future.
But for the first time…
He should let Seria properly experience it. Since she had come to him of her own will, she naturally deserved preferential treatment. The more intense play could wait for later.
He scooped Seria up in a princess carry and kissed her forehead.
"Mm. I like it very much. I like everything about Seria's body. I even feel like mixing you with rice and eating you up."
An almost suffocating happiness instantly filled Seria. When Li Ke gently laid her down on the single bed, she knew it was about to begin.
She obediently lay back, yet her legs still instinctively pressed together, her pure white soles stacked one atop the other. Li Ke quickly closed the door, then returned to stand before her.
He gently took hold of one of Seria's adorable little feet, then her slender calf. The shape of her thin, lovely long legs was extremely beautiful. When he lifted that pure white leg he added a small trick of his own, parting her thighs just enough so that, under the newly lit lamp, he could see the traces on her inner thighs.
It truly was the most beautiful type. Moreover, upon those snow-white, tender thighs he saw scattered points of starlight—tiny, sticky yet crystalline dewdrops that had left peculiar trails across her skin, making anyone who saw them want to taste and kiss that white expanse.
He smiled mischievously.
"I'm going to start, Seria."
"Mm."
Seria closed her eyes, struggling to keep herself from jumping up in excitement. Both hands tightly gripped the bedsheets as she felt Li Ke's hand slide from her toes across the sole of her foot, then travel upward from ankle to inner thigh. With every inch he moved, a current of electricity seemed to race through her.
At last, with her cooperation, the dress was undone and removed from her body. With her eyes still closed, Seria felt Li Ke's heavy breathing fall against her face. She opened her eyes—and under his burning gaze instinctively covered her chest with both hands.
But—
She immediately changed the motion into an embrace.
