Re-entering the Spirit World

You love me, and I love you.

Now that Xia Lun had said such words, things naturally weren't going to end innocently.

While love and sex certainly couldn't be equated, between Xia Lun and Aina, it was undoubtedly one of the most direct ways to express their affection.

Even though it was broad daylight, even though he might need a good excuse to keep teasing Aina tonight, and even though he felt this kind of lifestyle was honestly getting a bit too debauched... Xia Lun still found a nearby inn.

...

"Xia Lun, there's really nothing wrong with your heart, right?"

After their moments of bliss, Aina lay on Xia Lun's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"I think it's beating pretty fast right now... does that count?" Xia Lun swallowed hard as he looked at Aina's charming posture draped over him.

"That doesn't count!" Aina snorted softly and delivered a light headbutt to Xia Lun's chest. "We need to rest for at least... another twenty minutes."

Xia Lun winced and rubbed his chest, which stung from the impact of Aina's little head.

As Aina straightened her posture, Xia Lun instinctively stole a glance at her chest.

Instead of covering herself up tightly like a shy little girl, Aina proudly puffed out her chest and asked openly, "Do they look good?"

"Of course."

"Don't hold back, I am your wife after all." Aina even took the initiative to grab Xia Lun's wrist, guiding his hand to the right place.

Hmm... in the past, he had usually only fondled them in passing while getting down to business, much like the egg and crispy cracker that always came with a savory crepe... He rarely enjoyed them so earnestly as the main course.

But that didn't mean Xia Lun disliked it.

By the looks of it, Aina enjoyed it very much, too.

Aina's cheeks flushed with an intoxicating crimson at a visible pace.

Xia Lun's touch was gentle and skillful. As an old married couple, they knew each other's bodies like the back of their hands.

Letting out a sweet moan, Aina melted back against Xia Lun's chest.

"Shall we continue?" Xia Lun asked, stroking Aina's smooth back.

Aina nodded gently.

"But it hasn't been twenty minutes yet," Xia Lun reminded her with a soft chuckle, an indescribable charm in his eyes.

Aina lifted her head and cupped Xia Lun's face, looking him earnestly in the eyes.

"Xia Lun, you've changed... How did that handsome, gentle, and considerate Hero from before become so wicked?" Aina couldn't help but ask.

"I learned it from you, of course, Lord Demon King," Xia Lun replied with an innocent look.

"Nonsense." Aina turned her head away and muttered. She was, at most, only half responsible for Xia Lun turning out this way.

She remembered perfectly well that in the beginning, Xia Lun was the one who suggested exploring new ways to play. Only after getting a taste of the pleasure did she gradually start having ideas of her own.

Sure enough, all men were lustful, and even Xia Lun was no exception.

Xia Lun didn't tease Aina any further. He just pulled her into a tight embrace, and the two began to toss and turn once again.

A long while later, the two finished their passionate bout, panting heavily.

"I... I was talking about serious business earlier. Xia Lun, is there really nothing wrong with your heart?" Aina traced small circles with her slender fingers around the prominent contours of Xia Lun's firm and solid chest.

Aina really wanted to give it a little bite, but she was afraid Xia Lun would retaliate with his old tricks and discover some incredible secret.

"There's no problem. Why do you ask?" Xia Lun found it a bit strange; this was the third time Aina had asked this question.

"It's nothing... I know it couldn't possibly have an effect, but since it concerns your body, I just can't help but worry." Aina playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Does it have something to do with the Divine Tree of Life?" Xia Lun asked softly.

Aina nodded.

Xia Lun was well aware that the Divine Tree of Life was located in the Forest of Libya and was the ultimate treasure of the elven race... but that was the extent of his knowledge. He had no idea what the Divine Tree of Life actually looked like or exactly where it was.

However, it was said that the inconceivably massive trees right beneath their feet had evolved from just a few branches of the Divine Tree of Life... It was hard to imagine just how enormous the real tree could be.

Believing in asking when in doubt, Xia Lun voiced his curiosity to Aina.

"Xia Lun, you really are curious about everything... just like a little baby." Aina giggled softly. "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."

Xia Lun didn't hesitate to plant a loud smack on Aina's cheek. Feeling unsatisfied, he then leaned in to taste her tongue.

Aina said, "The Divine Tree of Life... The Divine Tree of Life is indeed very big."

"Then why haven't we seen it since coming here?" Xia Lun couldn't help but ask.

"Because the Tree of Life is in the Spirit World. Naturally, you can't see it from here," Aina said matter-of-factly. "Since you're so curious, Xia Lun, I'll take you to see it."

Holding Xia Lun's face affectionately, Aina leaned in and kissed him.

Even though Xia Lun's eyes were still open, the scenery before him suddenly darkened. Soon after, a wave of weightlessness washed over him, making him feel as though his body was endlessly plummeting downward.

Then, the view in front of him underwent an earth-shattering transformation, entirely enveloped by a sea of green shadows.

Entering the Spirit World for the second time, Xia Lun wasn't as unaccustomed as the first. At the very least, he managed to manifest his own body this time, rather than arriving as a mere ball of light.

Aina's small hand slipped into Xia Lun's.

Looking back, he saw Aina smiling mischievously. "Oh my, Xia Lun, are you planning to streak through the Spirit World without putting on any clothes? The chances of running into other witches exploring the Spirit World here aren't exactly zero, you know... What an unbelievable exhibitionist."

Aina was already wearing a scarlet robe that perfectly wrapped around her exquisite curves. Red and black were the primary colors of the Lord Demon King's attire.

Xia Lun blushed slightly. Because he and Aina had been completely naked on the outside just moments ago, he wasn't able to come in fully clothed right off the bat like she did.

Xia Lun closed his eyes and slowly pictured the clothes he had been wearing earlier.

Aina started acting up, lightly scratching the palm of Xia Lun's hand.

Xia Lun's concentration was broken, and the clothes he manifested turned out bizarrely misshapen, not even covering his most crucial areas.

"Aina!" Xia Lun scolded her, feeling a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. "If you keep this up, I won't let you off the hook when we get back."

"Alright, alright, I get it. Go ahead, Xia Lun, I won't bother you anymore... I certainly wouldn't want my husband to be seen naked by anyone else." Like a little devil, Aina scanned Xia Lun from head to toe.

A moment later, a plain robe materialized on Xia Lun's body.

"How unoriginal, Xia Lun... In here, you can conjure your clothes into whatever shape you want." The light and shadows on Aina's body shifted continuously, transforming her attire from pitch-black demonic armor to a deep, elegant dress.

However, pulling off something like that was currently beyond Xia Lun's capabilities.

"Do you want me to conjure some nice clothes for you?" Aina offered what seemed to be a wonderful proposal.

Xia Lun refused.

Because these weren't real clothes, but rather illusions manifested from the soul. If he did as Aina suggested, it would mean having her soul wrapped around his body.

Aina's soul was naturally under her own control.

She might... no, she would definitely use the "clothes" to take liberties with him.
