She had imagined countless possible reactions from Gu Chuan.
But she never expected that he would be so... so direct, so frank, so... domineering!
An unprecedented, scalding heat surged from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head! She felt that her cheeks must have been so red at that moment that they could have been used to fry an egg!
"That...that! I...I suddenly remembered!"
Despite her extreme shyness and panic, Hai Meng finally unleashed her powerful "control" ability as a top-tier hottie!
She abruptly changed the subject!
"I...I need to go to the restroom! Yes! The restroom! Gu Chuan, you...you stay here and wait for me!"
After saying that, she ran towards the bathroom like a frightened rabbit, without looking back.
Watching her adorable retreating figure, Gu Chuan's face revealed a gentle smile full of doting affection and triumph.
He knew that his aggressive, probing pebble had successfully entered the seemingly calm but actually turbulent lake of the girl's heart, stirring up ripples of "heart-fluttering" feelings.
When Hai Meng emerged from the restroom again, the blush on her face had faded considerably. However, her usually energetic eyes, when looking at Gu Chuan, clearly held a hint of shyness and evasiveness that she herself was unaware of.
The two continued to explore the venue.
Although no one brought up the shocking topic again, the sweet, ambiguous atmosphere in the air grew even stronger.
However, summer anime conventions are still too hot and humid.
In particular, the gothic dress that Hai Meng is wearing is made of multiple layers and is completely airtight in order to achieve the ultimate level of authenticity.
Soon, a fine, glistening layer of sweat seeped from her smooth forehead. Her cheeks, adorned with delicate, sickly makeup, also flushed an unnatural, sickly red from the heat.
"...It's so hot..." she couldn't help but fan herself with her hand and complain softly.
Gu Chuan, who had been silently observing her, naturally noticed her discomfort.
He didn't say much, but once again, he reached out and, with an irresistible, gentle gesture, took her small hand, which had become a little sticky from sweat, back into his palm.
"Eh?"
Hai Meng was thinking this when, subconsciously, she broke free.
A strange energy, cool, incredibly comfortable, like the refreshing breeze of summer, suddenly flowed from their clasped hands!
This cool energy, like the gentlest stream, instantly flowed through her entire body! It completely dispelled and neutralized the restless heat that had been causing her discomfort due to the sweltering heat!
She felt as if, in an instant, she had gone from a hot, crowded anime convention to a cool room with a constant 26-degree air conditioning!
That cool, refreshing feeling, which came from the inside out, made her so comfortable that she almost groaned out loud!
"This...this is also...your ability, Gu Chuan?" She looked at Gu Chuan in disbelief.
“Hmm,” Gu Chuan smiled and nodded, “It’s just a small, human-temperature-controlled air conditioner.”
He is using his seemingly omnipotent and all-powerful abilities to create, step by step, an excellent opportunity for himself to get closer to this lovely girl.
He is using his proactive and aggressive, clear actions to gradually dismantle the girl's seemingly strong, but actually already vulnerable, inner defenses.
He wanted her to completely become accustomed to his presence, dependent on his tenderness, and ultimately, to succumb to the sweet web of "love" he had meticulously woven for her.
157 Ripples of the Heart and the Unknown Night
Gu Chuan firmly believes in one principle: happiness is something that needs to be actively pursued.
Whether facing an apocalyptic crisis that could destroy the world, or facing the lovely girl in front of him who makes his heart flutter.
Waiting is always passive. Only by taking the initiative and firmly grasping all possibilities in your own hands can you achieve the final outcome you desire.
So he held Kitagawa Kaimu's hand for the entire afternoon without letting go.
He enjoyed the comforting touch of the girl's soft, boneless hand in his palm. He also enjoyed the subtle, pleasurable transformation the girl underwent as she grew accustomed to this intimacy, from initial shyness and avoidance to later acceptance, and finally, even unconsciously tightening her grip on his hand.
Kitagawa Kaimu was completely immersed in this wonderful date that belonged only to the two of them.
She was filled with boundless curiosity and admiration for Gu Chuan's endless stream of supernatural abilities, which could be described as "magic." Like a curious child, she pestered Gu Chuan, asking him all sorts of questions.
"Gu Chuan, is your human air conditioning ability a reward from a doomsday game?"
"That's it."
"So, do you have any other more interesting abilities? Like, flying? Or, invisibility?"
"It's a secret." Gu Chuan gently pinched her small nose, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"Hey—! Stingy!" Hai Meng pouted, dissatisfied. "Then you should at least tell me what new reward you got in that Holy Grail War game this time, right?"
“I gained a very interesting ability—the ability to devour everything,” Gu Chuan thought for a moment, then revealed a little, “And you? I remember you also participated in the game before. What did you gain?”
"Hehe~" Hai Meng's face revealed a sly, mysterious smile, "My reward is super amazing! But I can't tell you right now."
She tiptoed close to Gu Chuan's ear and whispered in a mysterious and seductive voice that only the two of them could hear.
"—Later, when we get to a suitable place, I will show it to you separately."
At noon, the two grabbed lunch at a random fast food restaurant inside the convention venue. In the afternoon, they continued their journey, lingering among the various booths.
As time went on, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly intimate and natural.
The way she addressed him changed from "Gu Chuan Tongxue" at the beginning to "Gu Chuan Jun" later, and finally, Hai Meng would call him by his name directly, "Gu Chuan," as if she were being affectionate.
As the sun set, the bustling and enthusiastic atmosphere of the convention finally drew to a close.
Just when Gu Chuan thought that today's date was about to end, Hai Meng took the initiative to hold his hand.
"—Let's go, let's go to Linlu Silu Qiba Guchuan."
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes, which shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking directly at him with an irresistible, proactive smile on her face.
"I'll take you to a wonderful place where you can properly appreciate this cosplay perk of mine."
She led Gu Chuan through a maze of twists and turns, finally stopping in front of a high-end-looking luxury hotel located in the city center.
Gu Chuan looked at the magnificent hotel entrance. Although he had a vague idea of what was going on, his rational judgment told him that things shouldn't develop so quickly.
After all, today was their first official date.
He thought that Hai Meng just wanted to find a quiet, private place to show him her mysterious "new ability" and, incidentally, satisfy her little "desire to perform" as a top cosplayer.
……
In the hotel room.
Hai Meng casually placed the shopping bags of various sizes on the ground, and then, like a cheerful little bird, rushed into the bathroom.
"Gu Chuan! Wait for me outside, okay? Don't peek!"
Listening to the rushing water from the bathroom, and the girl's lively, clear voice, Gu Chuan smiled helplessly and sat down on the soft sofa in the room.
Waiting time is always a bit boring.
He took out his phone and, as usual, opened the chat group that was always filled with laughter.
As always, the group chat was bustling with activity.
[Navigator]: Saeko Busujima, Ms. Saeko! I did it! I finally fused my "Wing" and the "Wind Crystal" I redeemed from the system perfectly together! Now, all I need to do is wave my hand to create a small tornado!
[Kendo Girl]: Congratulations, Nami. Your growth is always amazing.
[Navigator]: Hehe~ But, to exchange for that crystal, all the points I painstakingly saved up are gone again. (Nami crying face. gf)
[Observer]: Points are used up, but you can earn more. Skill is the most important thing (money). ^Yingling Chess Master = Wu Lian.
Looking at Nami's "complaint" filled with Versailles vibes, Gu Chuan couldn't help but laugh and sent a comment.
[Ice Queen]: Hmph, mere points. As long as they make this queen stronger, no amount of points is more than just numbers.
[The Goddess with a Dumb Heart]: Yeah, yeah! Points? All you have to do is beg Gu Chuan, and you'll get them, right? (Aqua wags her tail. gf)
[System notification: "Goddess of Idiots" has been muted for one hour by the group owner "Observer".]
[March 7th]: Hahahaha! Miss Aqua, you've been banned again! Seriously, not surprising at all!
[Observer]: To all members, your performance in the game lately has been excellent. Keep up the good work and strive to elevate your abilities to an even higher level as soon as possible.
158 Succubus
[Alicia]: Emilia-chan, a half-elf who aspires to become king, welcome to our family! Feel free to contact us anytime if you encounter any difficulties!
[March 7th]: Yes, yes! We have a lot of amazing people here! Like Gu Chuan! And Reinhard! Absolutely reliable!
Just then, someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly appeared.
[Sword Saint]: Observer, Lord Gu Chuan, I am terribly sorry to bother you. However, it seems that some... very troublesome and unusual situations have arisen in my world.
It's Reinhard.
[Observer]: Oh? Even you, the "Sword Saint," find it troublesome? Tell me about it.
[Sword Saint]: A black-haired boy named Subaru Natsuki. According to Lady Felt's intelligence and information I obtained from other royal candidates, this knight, who should have been in Lady Emilia's camp, has suddenly undergone a drastic personality change for some unknown reason. He... he has recently launched several frenzied attacks against other royal candidates in the royal capital. His methods are extremely bizarre, and his strength is also unusually high.
[Observer]: Subaru Natsuki? Attacking the candidate for the throne?
Gu Chuan's brows furrowed suddenly.
This is a completely different story from what I knew! How could that reckless yet incorrigibly kind boy become the villain?!
[The Half-Elf Who Wants to Be King]: What Mr. Reinhard said is true... Subaru... he's been acting very strangely lately, like a stranger... I... I don't know what to do...
Emilia's voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
[Observer]: It seems that the factors of the "abnormal apocalypse" are beginning to affect your world on a deeper level. Reinhard, Emilia, I suggest that you don't rush to become his enemy. Try to take the initiative to contact him and find out what exactly happened to him.
[Sword Saint]: I understand. Thank you for your guidance.
[The half-elf who wants to become king]: Yes! I will also assist Mr. Reinhard! I must find the Subaru of the past!
[Ice Queen]: Hmph, interesting. It seems it's not just your world. In my world, something quite interesting has recently happened as well.
Esdeath's voice rang out as well.
[The Ice Queen]: The obese and foolish Minister Ernest, who always hid behind the scenes, mysteriously died a few days ago. In his place came a mysterious masked man who called himself the "new minister." In just one day, he completely seized control of the entire capital's army and government. His methods were far more sophisticated and ruthless than the old man's.
[Observer]: The minister has been replaced? That's very important information. Esdeath, that new minister is highly suspicious. I suggest you don't act rashly yet, but carefully investigate his background.
[Ice Queen]: Hmph, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Anyone who dares to hinder me from enjoying war, I will personally crush them.
Gu Chuan turned off his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and fell into deep thought.
Subaru Natsuki's descent into darkness, the mysterious replacement of Minister Ernest...
In multiple worlds, this kind of significant variable, which he had never anticipated, began to appear.
It was as if an invisible, unseen hand was quietly plucking the strings of fate in all the worlds, pushing everything toward an unknown, uncertain, and dangerous abyss.
What exactly is hidden behind this?
Just as Gu Chuan was feeling a sense of unease about this chain of unusual phenomena—
Click.
The bathroom door was opened gently.
A seductive, sweet, succubus-like fragrance, seemingly emanating from the abyss, instantly filled the entire room.
Gu Chuan subconsciously raised his head.
Then, his breathing, his heartbeat, his thoughts, all came to a complete halt at that moment.
The woman who appeared before him was no longer the "Shizuku Kuroe" dressed in a gothic dress.
Rather, it was a living being, seemingly emerging from the deepest, most forbidden, and most desire-filled dream...
--Succubus!
On her head grew a pair of small, curved, ruby-like, translucent devilish horns.
Behind her, a black, heart-shaped tail with a supple texture, playful, was gently swaying.
On her abdomen, a strange, heart-shaped, seemingly alive, mysterious pattern was slowly shimmering with a faint light.
And the so-called "clothes" she was wearing could not be called clothes at all!
It was nothing more than a combination of dots and lines made up of black, mysterious lines! In a way that challenged the limits of human imagination, with unparalleled precision and audacity, they barely covered the most crucial, absolutely unseen, sacred place of the young girl!
Besides, that large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin, exuding an alluring moisture after a bath, was exposed to the air without reservation!
