“…Huh?”
Shi Qianla’s smile froze on her face.
Right now, her entire body was soaked, steaming under the warmth of the Holy Light, her fair, rosy skin faintly visible through the misty haze.
The army-green fabric, almost transparent, gleamed with an oily, moist sheen, accentuating her voluptuous, mature charm.
Bai Yue Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes, carefully observing.
“Just as the rumors say, huh.”
“Oh my… That’s right.”
Shi Qianla squatted down, her knees pressing tightly against her chest, squeezing out a plump, soft shape. Her hands hugged her knees, legs pressed together, perfectly covering all the critical details.
“About seventy percent of us Nature followers do this, I’d say.”
“It’s not mandatory?”
“Of course not. The Goddess’s phrase about ‘being close to nature’ wasn’t overly explained, so everyone interprets it differently. Some, like me, go this way; others prefer clothes made of leaves or vines, and some even bury themselves in soil or seawater daily.”
“Oh~” Bai Yue Ling had a sudden realization, asking curiously, “So what kind is Sistana?”
“The Great Archbishop… Probably the same as me?” Shi Qianla chuckled lightly. “Actually, we only care about these things when dealing with outsiders. During internal church gatherings, we’re basically all open with each other.”
“Open with each other?!”
“Yup, especially my fellow Elves. Living in the forest, they totally look down on crafted clothes from the outside world.”
“Wha-wha-what? Really?!”
Bai Yue Ling’s eyes widened, her pupils reflecting countless graceful big sister figures, struck by unprecedented shock.
So the Church of Nature… plays that wild?
“Can I go to… to a gathering to check it out?”
“Sure thing~”
Shi Qianla’s beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, her voice teasingly seductive. “But only if you join the Church of Nature, oh.”
“Can’t I go without joining?”
“Of course not.”
“Then forget it.”
She hadn’t been so overcome by desire as to join a goddess’s faith just for a gathering.
To dry her clothes faster, Bai Yue Ling adjusted her black stockings to be even thinner and more breathable, spreading her arms and basking contentedly in the Holy Light’s warmth, as if bathing in warm sunlight during a cold winter.
Suddenly, Shi Qianla turned sharply, warily staring at the pool they’d swum through.
“Little White, be careful—something’s swimming over.”
“What?”
Before Bai Yue Ling could react, Shi Qianla yanked her behind a rock to hide.
Not long after, they heard a rustling sound. A massive black serpent head emerged from the pool, its scarlet tongue flicking, seemingly searching for their traces.
It was that giant python from outside—it had chased them in!
Bai Yue Ling’s body instinctively tensed, holding her breath, curling into a ball, and doing her utmost to stay silent.
Just when she thought she was cautious enough, she inadvertently noticed a more terrifying threat before her.
Shi Qianla was crouched low, her two snowy, plump legs stretching the soaked pant legs taut, pressing coldly against both sides of Bai Yue Ling’s slender waist, trapping her without an inch of wiggle room.
A massive, misty shape rose and fell rhythmically with her breathing, glistening with moist, tender sheen under the wet fabric. Every hot breath Bai Yue Ling exhaled left a puff of steam on it.
Due to the narrow rock, Shi Qianla had to curl up as much as possible to avoid detection by the python, which meant she was practically lying on Bai Yue Ling.
[You have been affected by the Intimidation status from NPC “Shi Qianla.”]
Bai Yue Ling swallowed hard, her heartbeat and breathing growing rapid.
Being… crushed by a big sister…
Suddenly, the giant python surged out of the water, its massive body scraping against the rock walls, emitting an eerie rustling that sent chills down the spine.
Shi Qianla instinctively crouched even lower, her cold thighs accidentally brushing Bai Yue Ling’s slender waist, the icy chill clashing with the tender skin, causing Bai Yue Ling to let out an involuntary—
“Ying!”
The girl’s squeal was especially jarring in the silent cave. The python snapped its head around, its massive serpentine pupils scanning every corner.
Oh no…
Shi Qianla glanced down at her with a hint of reproach. Bai Yue Ling pouted, her beautiful eyes full of apology.
As the python drew closer, Shi Qianla lowered herself even more, almost fully lying on Bai Yue Ling, the wet fabric rubbing against her sensitive waist with each breath.
Bai Yue Ling, like a teased fawn, couldn’t stop trembling slightly, her pupils filled with fear, her cherry lips almost pressed into a wavy line, terrified of making any sound.
Seeing Bai Yue Ling on the verge of squealing again, Shi Qianla stared at her timid little face, her lips curving into a playful smile.
She closed her eyes, leaned down slightly, and personally sealed every possible gap for sound leakage.
[NPC “Shi Qianla”’s Dark Fall value has increased by 5%, current Dark Fall value: 20%.]
Breathing, heartbeat, emotions, mingling with the Dark Fall aura… Bai Yue Ling’s pupils shrank, as if she could sense everything about Shi Qianla.
The python flicked its tongue, its gaze passing over the rock above without spotting the two.
Then it twisted its massive body, crawling away with earthquake-like tremors, disappearing into the cave’s depths.
After the python left, Shi Qianla finally let go, rising with an unmasked smile at the corner of her lips, lightly licking them as if savoring the moment.
“Little White… 99 more to go, oh.”
“W-Wu… Wha-what?!”
Bai Yue Ling hurriedly sat up, her little heart thumping uncontrollably.
Just a few minutes, and this weak secretary got me again—
Bai Yue Ling instinctively touched her lips, unable to stop recalling the sticky sensation, her mouth somehow pooling with saliva.
Shi Qianla chuckled, grabbing Bai Yue Ling’s hand and pulling her up.
“99, meaning I owe you 99 more, oh.”
“Who… who cares about you! Don’t get too full of yourself, weak big sister!”
“It’s not me being full of myself.” Shi Qianla narrowed her eyes, sniffing Bai Yue Ling. “Ever since I was Dark Fall-en by you, I can’t seem to resist your scent. It’s like the more I smell, the more addicted I get.”
For those Dark Fall-en, Bai Yue Ling, as a Fallen Angel, was practically no different from a Succubus, acting like a long-lasting drug that made people unconsciously dependent, with Dark Fall values gradually rising.
But Bai Yue Ling was oblivious to this, simply attributing it, as always, to her mysterious charm, constantly drawing big sisters wanting to cross her legs.
In a way, there really wasn’t much difference between the two.
“Stop talking nonsense,” Bai Yue Ling grumbled. “I’m all wet and freezing—hurry up and dry off, then let’s find Trineph.”
With that, she tossed out a Holy Light Orb, controlling it to orbit her, continuously roasting her soaked black stockings.
Shi Qianla propped her chin with one hand, eyeing Bai Yue Ling’s petite, delicate figure with interest. The wet black stockings clung to her like a second skin.
“Little White, have you noticed?”
“What?”
“Right now, you’re not much different from us Nature followers, oh.”
“…Wu-eh?!”
