The ambiguous dispute between Lin Luo and Lin Xiaoke was eventually resolved in a satisfactory manner—at least on the surface. For Lin Luo, however, the process had been far from fulfilling.
But since it was already over, he no longer wished to dwell on it. After all, who else would be more at fault than him? He'd held her, touched her, kissed her, and then expected nothing in return. The girl hadn't even scolded him, merely telling him to let it go.
Could he really demand someone to take responsibility for his own transgressions after sleeping with them?
So the matter was best left behind. There were more important things to discuss.
"Have you heard?" Lin Xiaoke asked. "You're leaving for Type-Moon World in a few days."
Lin Luo nodded indifferently, "Yeah, probably three days from now." His tone made it clear he was barely interested.
"That's convenient," she said. "I've decided to visit there as well. I'm not sure exactly when we'll meet again, but we'll definitely see each other in Type-Moon World... Oh, by the way, Arthur went there half a month ago."
"Ah."
Lin Luo gave her a lazy response. Normally he would have asked why she was going to such a place, but tonight he didn't care.
If anyone else had been met with his dismissiveness they might have felt offended or frustrated, but Lin Xiaoke seemed perfectly fine with it—perhaps even relieved that he wasn't pressing for details.
Their conversation soon ran out of steam, and when there were no more topics left to discuss, Lin Xiaoke prepared to leave. Lin Luo rose from his seat immediately, finally speaking up: "It's rare you visit this world. Want me to show you around?"
Lin Xiaoke looked at him carefully. "Are you really offering that?"
"More of a formality," he admitted.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Without any attempt to stop her and with no visible reluctance, Lin Luo watched as the meeting ended awkwardly—what had begun as something intimate now felt like an uncomfortable goodbye.
After Lin Xiaoke disappeared from sight, Lin Luo stood there for a while, sighing. "Despite how serious she was about things, I always thought her other personality was more charming with that passionate energy... though too much of it could be overwhelming. Truthfully, the original version of her character was just right. Wonder when she'll return to normal."
Lin Luo shook his head and turned around, but no sooner had he taken a few steps than he stopped abruptly. "That's strange... She traveled all this way specifically to see me. Other than giving me that gift, was it really only to inform me about her plans for Type-Moon World? Women truly are impossible creatures..."
Meanwhile, back in her own world after returning home, Lin Xiaoke walked alone through the garden when she suddenly spoke aloud: "You really know how to cause trouble. Do you have any idea what I went through waking up and seeing that scene... Fortunately, fortunately you stopped in time or we'd never have recovered from it."
As if summoned by her words, a faint silhouette appeared beside her, chuckling. "Haha, looks like you're not as cool-headed on the surface as everyone thinks. You've done well keeping up this facade."
"Of course," Lin Xiaoke said matter-of-factly. "If I didn't act this way, it would have been even more awkward."
"But still," the shadow continued, "I find it a bit regrettable."
"What's that about?"
The silhouette teased her gently: "That we couldn't continue things further. You should've taken over from me and fully embraced your role as a woman at that moment—completely lost yourself in passion. After all, everything was already set up for you, just lacking one final step."
"Are you joking?" Lin Xiaoke asked.
"Not at all," the shadow insisted.
"Well then thank you very much," she said with an expressionless face.
"You're thanking me? This is exactly what I should've done anyway." Whether the spirit missed her subtle sarcasm or simply chose to ignore it, they continued: "I always thought the most beautiful love story would be between a couple who'd been dating for years and were about to get married when they suddenly discovered they were long-lost siblings. Despite protests from family and friends and societal constraints, their romance led them to elope together. If you two had actually gone through with it, that would've made an even more legendary tale."
Lin Xiaoke rolled her eyes. "We're not lost siblings."
"I know," the shadow replied cheerfully while poking her arm. "And that's exactly why I said 'even more'! So how about it? Want to try out this forbidden romance? If you do, I'll definitely support you!"
"You just think this is funny," Lin Xiaoke said coldly. "Also, there's a bigger problem you've completely forgotten."
"What problem?"
"I don't actually like him."
"Then who do you like?" the shadow asked.
Lin Xiaoke stared at her seriously before saying: "The person I love... it's you."
The shadow gasped in shock and panic until she noticed Lin Xiaoke's teasing expression. "So bold, daring to mock even me!"
Lin Xiaoke didn't react at all but changed the subject. "I won't ask about my own affairs anymore. What about your intentions? When you mentioned going after him before, I don't recall you ever mentioning this story for me. So what exactly is it you're doing outside our agreement?"
"Oh!" the shadow exclaimed suddenly. "Now that you mention it, I remember—I was supposed to test him! But I had completely forgotten because I'd been so immersed in those wonderful feelings... Ahh, how failed can I get!"
"...What an odd way of thinking," Lin Xiaoke muttered.
"Even worse," the shadow continued with a groan. "Not only did I fail my test but he also took advantage of me! Wait—since it wasn't even my body, maybe I didn't lose anything important after all."
"..." Lin Xiaoke was silent for a long time before realizing how pointless this conversation had been.
The day before the final countdown to Type-Moon World...
Construction at Gensokyo was finally complete. The territory expanded by over ten times its original size and incorporated previously non-existent terrain, making it both larger and more mysterious than ever before.
More importantly, Lin Luo had successfully connected Gensokyo with the Throne of Heroes in a manner similar to how hell or purgatory connected to Gensokyo itself. Through specific barriers, people could travel between these realms though they would experience significant power reduction when moving from the mortal world to the Throne. Conversely, spirits traveling to Gensokyo could only maintain physical form temporarily before returning as particles once their energy dissipated.
Though puzzled by this imbalance—he was supposed to have perfect control over his world—Lin Luo accepted it for now since he had achieved his primary goal: ensuring those who passed away in Gensokyo would find a second life among the spirits without needing reincarnation or divine ascension.
With this new connection established, several hosts within Gensokyo—Reimu Hoshinonaka, Shiki Fuujin, Youkai Yuyuko, and others—were now prepared for martial skill training. After witnessing how powerful these techniques could be during the previous battle with the Magus Killer, everyone understood they would become crucial against future opponents.
Through this enlightenment, the hosts had accepted their roles in mastering these abilities. With that mindset established, Lin Luo used the same night's gathering to form heart contracts with four of them—Reimu and Shiki were easy since they'd already shared intimacy with him; Yuyuko was similarly cooperative given her marital intentions; Ayaka was also willing despite being more reserved than the others.
The most difficult negotiations came from Shiki and Youko, both of whom hesitated due to their lingering reverence for Lin Luo's role as a master. Though Lin Luo respected these feelings—he knew such deep-seated emotions couldn't be easily overcome—it was ultimately up to them whether they wanted to sign when fully willing.
That night's banquet stretched late into the evening with many participants either already drunk or in the process of getting so. Even Izumi Saigyouji, known for her massive alcohol tolerance, continued drinking without pause while others who had passed out were dragged back onto the battlefield by the noise.
Lin Luo naturally became a prime target for drinks, and due to his limited capacity, he frequently needed bathroom breaks—each time coinciding with the signing of a new heart contract. After all, public displays weren't his style, so these private moments in restrooms became perfect opportunities.
By midnight, most people had long since passed out or lost interest, leaving Lin Luo finally free from the drunken siege. However, just as he was about to retire for the night after another round of drinks, something unexpected happened...
To be continued...
Ling Luo saw this, and the desire he had just vented flared up again. He immediately lifted Kaguya into his arms, pressed her against the wall with their bodies entangled, and entered her body from behind once more.
The intense moans filled the room anew. As time slowly passed, every corner of the space bore traces of their passionate encounters, leaving the room in utter disarray.
"AHHH!" After countless rounds of intimate moments, an unknown figure suddenly burst through the bedroom door with a loud crash. "I've found you... uh!"
The intruder hadn't finished speaking before locking eyes with Ling Luo and Kaguya - two nude bodies entwined together, their movements rhythmic as moans echoed constantly between them. The visitor froze mid-step in utter shock.
Ling Luo and Kaguya remained immersed in passion but couldn't ignore the sudden noise. Their reflexive turning revealed Shaki standing at the door, cheeks flushed crimson with embarrassment.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Luo would have been deeply embarrassed being caught like this. However, alcohol had completely taken over his senses now. After only two seconds of hesitation, he seized Shaki before she could react and pulled her toward him.
Holding Shaki against his chest while continuing to thrust into Kaguya beneath him, Ling Luo kissed Shaki's lips violently as he stripped away layer after layer of her clothing.
Whether it was alcohol-induced intoxication, raw desire or the heart-wrenching sorrow of parting - any single factor could make a person lose their mind. But when all three converged on one individual and erupted simultaneously? No one could fathom what they might do next.
Ling Luo now embodied this state perfectly. Instead of feeling embarrassed at seeing Shaki, he dragged her into the chaos without hesitation.
As for Kaguya - as a lunar being with entirely different values from Earthlings, she had already grown accustomed to behaving differently from ordinary humans after living on Earth for millennia. And now influenced by alcohol, desire and parting sorrow, she remained even more composed than Ling Luo himself.
Totally ignoring Shaki's presence, Kaguya continued to lose herself in the pleasure of Ling Luo's movements.
Shaki, however, wasn't as open-minded. She made muffled noises while struggling fiercely in Ling Luo's arms - but it was only a brief resistance. Once stripped bare and overwhelmed by his intense masculine energy through kisses and caresses, her accumulated desires mixed with alcohol-induced impulses. Her struggles weakened until she finally surrendered completely to the moment, wrapping her arms around Ling Luo with equal passion.
When Kaguya let out one final piercing moan and collapsed into complete helplessness on the bed, panting heavily, Ling Luo didn't stop his movements. After withdrawing from Kaguya's body, he immediately transferred to Shaki who was now lying beneath him, spreading her legs wide for another brutal penetration.
Unlike Kaguya, Shaki had already shared intimate moments with Ling Luo centuries ago - though that time was so distant it only fueled her longing more strongly. Their recent reunion had left unfulfilled desires hanging in the air until this very moment when Ling Luo's entry awakened all those forgotten sensations from long ago. The overwhelming pleasure stripped away her reason entirely, leaving behind only pure emotion and joy as she desperately matched his thrusts with frantic moans.
Only after climaxing did Shaki finally relax into a drowsy state of exhaustion.
Almost at the same time when Ling Luo was about to move back toward Kaguya, another figure burst through the door accompanied by an exhausted voice. "Whoever's in this room? You're disturbing my sleep! What is... uh!"
As with Shaki's earlier entrance, the speaker froze mid-sentence upon witnessing the naked chaos unfolding before them.
The red-and-white shrine maiden outfit and drowsy expression instantly identified Reimu as the new intruder.
"Another one?" Ling Luo muttered without hesitation. But this didn't indicate any retreat from his frenzied state - if anything, after conquering two women already, he had reached an even more extreme level of madness where gods themselves would be powerless against him.
Just like before, a simple motion of extending and pulling brought Reimu crashing into the scene as Ling Luo slammed the door shut with an isolation barrier.
"Ahh!" Startled by the sudden ambush, Reimu instinctively screamed out in protest.
But Ling Luo wasted no time. Before she could react properly, he pounced on her with brute force, cupping her breasts while kissing her lips soundly to silence any further objections.
While capable of handling crises normally, Reimu was otherwise quite dense most of the time - a personality trait developed over years that now proved troublesome in this situation. The shocking sight left her too stunned for either desire or alcohol-induced impulses to take hold immediately, leading to fierce resistance from her.
Unfortunately...
Even with such strong opposition, no one could resist Ling Luo's unstoppable momentum at this point. Rather than deterring him, her defiance only intensified his determination to conquer her.
After tearing off Reimu's iconic shrine maiden outfit without mercy, he forced himself inside amidst her curses. Then began a violent series of thrusts that would leave no room for further protest.
"Bastard!"
"You perverted predator!"
"Let me go... let me..."
The intensity of Ling Luo's assault gradually overpowered even Reimu's willpower. Her resistance weakened while the curses softened into hesitant murmurs, eventually turning into moans as her body betrayed her and began moving in time with his movements.
Again and again - wave after wave of impact!
Once the pleasure completely overwhelmed her consciousness, both desire and alcohol finally worked together to drown whatever remaining rationality she had. She now clung to Ling Luo's body with practiced motions while responding eagerly to every movement.
The overwhelming scent of passion between them reignited Kaguya and Shaki's rekindled desires once more - though Kaguya still needed time to recover from multiple rounds, Shaki was another story entirely...
After guarding her heart for centuries as a living widow, could one encounter truly satisfy such deep-seated longing? Of course not.
As her desire burned anew, she lost all control and threw herself toward Ling Luo in a passionate frenzy.
Ling Luo naturally responded in kind. After indulging Shaki with kisses first, he immediately activated his body duplication technique. Two additional forms materialized beside Shaki as he turned her around to face him.
Simultaneous penetration from both front and back sent her into complete ecstasy, each thrust shaking her entire body uncontrollably.
For Shaki, this was an unprecedented experience - and for Ling Luo it was equally extraordinary because these weren't mere copies. Each duplicate represented a different extension of his physical form where every sensation experienced by the duplicates concentrated directly onto his main body. The intensity he now felt was beyond anything anyone could imagine.
Meanwhile, witnessing this shocking scene left Kaguya momentarily stunned before slowly revealing an enigmatic smile at her lips.
Lost in pleasure herself, Ling Luo didn't notice Kaguya's expression change until suddenly a spatial disturbance rippled through the room - and two new figures appeared.
Sakuya and Youmu!
Youmu, being one of Gensokyo's most notorious party animals with legendary drinking skills, was still engaged in a drinking contest at the time. Sakuya, though more reserved, possessed extraordinary serving skills that extended to her alcohol tolerance as well. But even these remarkable abilities couldn't prevent them from becoming visibly intoxicated now.
Yet when confronted by such an utterly scandalous scene, their drunkenness vanished almost instantly.
"Ah... ah..." Youmu clapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide with visible shock.
If Youmu was stunned, Sakuya fared no better. She stood frozen mid-sentence with her mouth hanging open but unable to produce any sound at all.
Ling Luo was equally surprised by their sudden appearance, yet for him there would be no hesitation - after humans came gods in this game of conquest where anyone present simply could not escape his advances.
With no more delay, he instantly seized the nearest figure (Youmu) and with a single palm press removed her clothing in an instant to reveal her beautiful form beneath.
Using the same method as before, Ling Luo kissed Youmu's lips while caressing her skin. Unexpectedly, Youmu offered absolutely no resistance after her initial shock - once she overcame her momentary daze, she eagerly embraced the situation wholeheartedly.
Her cooperative attitude made things much easier for Ling Luo. Soon enough he had her pinned beneath him and entered without hesitation.
While fondling Youmu's ample chest, Ling Luo unleashed another brutal series of thrusts into her body as she closed her eyes to savor every second of the overwhelming pleasure.
Back where Ling Luo had just pulled away from Youmu, Kaguya had already captured Sakuya in a similar manner. Unlike Youmu however, Sakuya tried instinctively to resist - "What are you doing? And what about you two... you're actually..."
Kaguya's clawed hand plunged into Sakuya's clothing as she licked her ear while whispering with a sultry tone, "Need I explain further? I specifically brought you here for this reason. Such an opportunity may never come again..."
"You... ah!"
Sakuya attempted to resist but Kaguya moved faster. In the blink of an eye, all of Sakuya's clothes were gone as her hand slid down her body toward forbidden territory before claiming her lips in a sudden kiss.
Women understood each other far better than men ever could - not just psychologically, but physically too. With her extensive knowledge about Sakuya's vulnerabilities, Kaguya needed only brief contact to render the poor servant powerless against her will.
Normally Sakuya would never be so easily subdued, but excessive alcohol consumption combined with lingering traces of earlier passions had already left her vulnerable to this environment's overwhelming atmosphere.
Soon enough, desire and intoxication fully overtook her consciousness as well. Two beautiful yet captivating bodies now engaged in their own brand of scandalous intimacy.
Meanwhile back at Ling Luo's side where the room echoed with overlapping moans, he finally expelled all his accumulated desires into Youmu before gently setting aside this now-weightless form. He immediately moved toward Sakuya who had already fallen into a state of mindless passion after Kaguya's earlier treatment.
When she saw Ling Luo approaching, Sakuya instinctively reached for him without hesitation.
Of course there would be no delay in Ling Luo's response as he pulled her onto his chest and entered her body instantly. At that moment, fresh crimson blood flowed down from the base of Sakuya's thighs.
Driven completely by desire, Sakuya had used none of her abilities during this first encounter. The instant sensation was an agonizing tear at first which made her cry out in pain - followed immediately by overwhelming satisfaction that made it feel like agony and ecstasy were occurring simultaneously.
With Ling Luo delivering wave after forceful thrusts into her body, Sakuya's voice soon joined the chorus of pleasure echoing through the room.
And so time passed without clear measure. After a final series of violent tremors left Sakuya's body collapsing in exhaustion beneath him, Ling Luo still did not stop his pursuit - empowered by rule-creating abilities that gave him seemingly endless energy.
After dealing with Sakuya, he immediately resumed his assault on Kaguya...
...and the long night continued.
This phrase "long night" might seem poetic elsewhere, but here it was perfectly apt. After all, there were two time manipulators present who couldn't completely stop time due to world limitations - yet slowing down the passage of time significantly remained effortless for them.
Thus in this endless night as reason and restraint vanished entirely from six minds overwhelmed by desire and alcohol, they surrendered fully to their primal instincts. The entire room transformed into an ocean of passion that would have left any observer utterly speechless.
But no one entered - only these six individuals shared this secret.
It was a night of madness.
A night of indulgence.
A night of unrestrained passion.
And ultimately, it became simply... a joyful night.
