Upon waking up, Xia Yan felt that his body was somewhat heavy, as if he had been filled with lead.

His head was also dizzy, as if he had drunk several bottles of strong liquor last night, to the point of losing consciousness.

But this feeling usually disappears after a short while, yet he still found it strange that he woke up like this several times recently.

And he couldn't even remember when he fell asleep or what he did before falling asleep.

"It's really strange. Could it be that I've been too tired recently? But I don't recall doing anything special. Why can't I remember when I fell asleep?" Xia Yan wondered suspiciously, as he looked over at the sleeping Shiyin next to him.

"Why is this guy here again? Wait, could it be... she's up to something?"

...

Flashback to about a week ago, Shiyin witnessed firsthand what her master and Cailongyu did after waking up.

Although Xia Yan was unaware, she had actually been watching the whole time.

And at that moment, a feeling called jealousy gradually grew and occupied her heart.

[She also wanted to be with her master.]

As this wish became stronger, Xia Yan's unchanging daily routine finally began to subtly change.

...

On a night when the two were alone, Shiyin silently waited for Xia Yan to fall asleep, using her own magic to put him into a deep slumber.

Since her magic was difficult to detect and the effect of the magic only improved Xia Yan's sleep quality, weakening his perception of the outside world, it was almost impossible to discover what she was doing.

And then, with trepidation in her heart, Shiyin sat on her master's body, struggling internally between being a "bad girl" or a "good girl".

There were two voices whispering in her heart:

The tempting voice: "Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to devour your master? Go ahead, you put him to sleep so that the two of you can be together, right?"

The rational voice: "No, you can't. Once you do something like this, there's no turning back! Your master wouldn't want you to do this, he would be saddened and hurt if he found out."

...

But at this moment, Xia Yan suddenly murmured in his sleep:

"Ling'er, get off me..."

And it was this voice that completely broke the last trace of rationality in Shiyin.

Jealousy and desire made her resolute, she must make her relationship with her master become even more intimate!

So, Shiyin licked her cherry-colored lips and gazed at him with a mesmerized expression, whispering:

"Well then, I'll start without hesitation! Ahwoo~"

...

Everything started from that moment and became irreparable.

The next morning, Xia Yan woke up from his deep sleep.

But he didn't notice anything that happened last night because he was sleeping too heavily.

And from then on, every night when Xia Yan was alone, Shiyin would quietly appear, using her magic to put him into a deep sleep, and then she would exhibit her squeezer nature.

And when Xia Yan woke up in the morning, apart from feeling his body being heavy, he completely didn't remember what happened last night.

It was only today that he began to suspect if Shiyin was behind all of this.

However, he didn't have any evidence to prove it. So, in order to confirm it, he bought a magic cat's eye stone from a magic goods store that could be used to record images.

This cat's eye stone functions like a surveillance camera. When placed somewhere, it can record all the images that occurred at that time.After Xia Yan arranged the cat's eye stone, he used his magic to conceal its weak magical aura until nightfall.

As soon as it was time, he started to feel sleepy, then fell into a deep sleep.

Snow Yin, however, was completely unaware of the cat's eye stone arranged by Xia Yan and continued to do what she had done before.

Until dawn, Xia Yan woke up from his slumber and saw Snow Yin lying beside him once again.

He had become accustomed to this arrangement lately.

Since he couldn't control her, he simply allowed her to sleep beside him.

But he was curious about what had happened last night while he was asleep.

So, he retrieved the magic cat's eye stone that he had arranged in advance and played back the events of the previous night.

As he saw what had happened, he froze in place, the cat's eye stone slipping from his hand and falling to the ground.

Because he saw something he shouldn't have seen in the cat's eye stone.

Although he was reluctant to believe what he saw, it was reality.

...

...

Then Xia Yan turned his gaze to Snow Yin, his expression more complex than ever before.

How should he face her from now on?

————————————————

Just then, the slumbering Snow Yin's silver long eyelashes, as delicate as butterfly wings, trembled slightly, showing signs of waking up.

She quickly opened her blurry eyes, stretched lazily, and yawned, saying to Xia Yan:

"...Good morning, Master. Did you sleep well last night?"

"...I slept quite well..."

"Hehe, that's good. Master, what are we going to do today?"

The next second, Snow Yin leaned in to hug him, but Xia Yan grabbed her hand and pushed her away, wearing a serious expression as he asked, "Snow Yin, tell me honestly, what did you do to me last night?"

"Last night? I simply slept with you, Master!"

"...Stop lying to me. I already know... Why did you do that while I was asleep?"

Upon hearing these words, Snow Yin's heart trembled, realizing that the truth could not be concealed forever.

This matter would eventually be discovered by her master, but how would she face him then?

"...I'm sorry, Master. I'm sure Snow Yin is a bad girl in your eyes... but I couldn't suppress the desire in my heart for you. When I realized my true wish was to be with you, I did what I did. Because you never accepted me, I know it's probably because of my special status, but I... I only love you!"

...

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble with my selfishness... Master, give me an order. Order me to delete the memories of these days and eliminate my own emotions, only to serve you as a tool from now on... If I do this, I won't cause you any more trouble."

At this moment, Snow Yin lowered her head as if accepting her fate. After all, as a bad girl, she deserved punishment.

However, Xia Yan did not give the order for her to do so. Instead, he embraced her.

"Fool, who said I wanted you to eliminate your own emotions? Why didn't you tell me all this earlier?" he said, his tone affectionate.

"Alas... It's also my fault. Although I sensed your feelings for me, I couldn't give a straightforward response... It's too late now, Snow Yin, I will take responsibility for you."

...

And at that moment, Snow Yin couldn't hold back the tears of joy in her heart anymore. Her wish had finally come true.

The next second, she pounced on Xia Yan on the bed behind them, her uniquely colored eyes reflecting a mix of innocence and mischief.

"Master, Snow Yin can't hold back anymore~ Can I do naughty things to you?""You, it's broad daylight now, and it's still morning! Can't this wait until tonight?"

"No, I don't want to wait even for a second!"

..................................................

And so, their fingers interlocked, truly combining at this moment.

After reaching the critical point of 'surrendering disarmed' with Xia Yan, Setsuna lay exhausted on the bed, her body forming the shape of a "大" character.

A milky liquid slowly flowed out...

Immediately, she felt her lower abdomen heating up, and a red mark gradually appeared.

Xia Yan knew exactly what this was; it was a sacred rune that would appear once enough magic power had accumulated in the same spot.

It meant that she had accumulated too much of her own magic power in that area.

"Even a sacred rune has appeared! That's great! Now I can never leave my master!"

...

...

However, in the next second, Xia Yan abruptly woke up from his dream.

He looked around; this was indeed his room.

As for Setsuna, she was sleeping soundly next to him, and everything that had just happened seemed like it was just a dream.

"...So it was just a dream?"

He looked at Setsuna still sleeping beside him and thought, well, they couldn't have possibly gone that far, right?

At that moment, Setsuna also woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked Xia Yan, who was startled by the dream, "What's wrong, master? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xia Yan nodded, "Yes, I had a not-so-good dream, but it wasn't exactly a nightmare..."

"I see. So, should we continue sleeping? It's not yet dawn... If master is worried, you can hold me."

Setsuna opened her arms invitingly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yan decided not to refuse and embraced her.

"Alright then..."

He held Setsuna's soft body and soon fell asleep again.

Little did he know that at this moment, a colorful sacred rune had already formed on Setsuna's lower abdomen.
