"Thank you for the assistance from the three of you…"
Yanagi spoke on behalf of Hollow Special Operations Section 6 and Scott Outpost, expressing her gratitude to the three from Yunkui Summit, then added a few polite remarks—such as praising Yiji the Proxy for her navigation skills, and expressing hopes for continued cooperation, and so on.
As night gradually fell, the three from Arden's side bid farewell to everyone from Section 6, agreeing to form a band together again… then the three of them left Scott Outpost and returned to Yunkui Summit.
...
Yunkui Summit.
The courtyard of Yixuan's master-disciple residence.
Under the glow of the evening clouds, the courtyard was lively. Aside from Ye Shiyuan, who was nowhere to be seen as usual, the five masters and disciples gathered together, enjoying a lavish feast prepared by the head chef Pan Yinhu.
The banquet began! Celebrating the youngest junior sister, Yiji, successfully passing her assessment and allowing Yunkui Summit to finally have its own Proxy.
"I told you—don't be fooled by how delicate and frail Junior Sister Yiji looks. She's extremely intelligent and definitely has talents in other areas."
"A Proxy… no more worrying about getting lost in Hollows in the future."
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Yiji, you did very well this time!"
"..."
"Am I really that talented?"
Yiji was so praised by her master and senior brothers and sisters that she felt a bit lightheaded, but Arden at the side seemed distracted, even absent-minded.
Slender yet firm, that unique silky texture, carrying a hint of warmth and the faint scent of sweat… unforgettable!
That's right—Arden was reminiscing about Hoshimi Miyabi's black-stockinged legs.
If only I could hold them one more time… even a similar substitute would do!
As expected of a Void Hunter—even her legs were extraordinary, inspiring endless imagination when held, truly worthy of being called "legs you could play with for years"… no! It should be "legs you could play with for a lifetime"!
Those black-stockinged legs—Arden could play with them for an entire lifetime.
Suddenly, Arden looked toward Pan Yinhu's… panda-like legs.
Mm… better not.
"Can I hug your legs?"
Arden walked directly over to Yiji's seat and looked at her.
"Senior Brother Arden, please!"
Yiji immediately understood what Arden meant.
She naturally would not defy her master's wishes, so she proactively lifted her smooth, pale leg and offered it to Arden.
Arden accepted without hesitation and carefully felt it.
Very firm! But it seems a bit too slender, and the length isn't enough.
Comparing it with the memory of Miyabi's black-stockinged legs, Arden quickly reached a conclusion.
He released Yiji's smooth, pale leg.
"Brother Arden, it's… my turn, right!"
To be honest, Arden was already extremely familiar with Ju Fufu's legs, but since she was being so proactive, he couldn't ignore her. Managing a harem required one crucial principle—fair distribution, just like parents treating twins or triplets; favoritism would only cause trouble.
Arden hugged Ju Fufu's legs.
It was the same familiar sensation. The firmness didn't match Hoshimi Miyabi's, and in terms of length it was even less than Yiji's—after all, she was only one point four meters tall.
Finally, it was Master Yixuan's turn.
"!!"
Before Yixuan could even open her mouth to refuse, Arden lunged forward and hugged her legs.
"..."
Yixuan tried shaking him off twice, but realized that ordinary force wouldn't be enough.
After thinking for a moment, Yixuan chose not to increase her strength and instead endured it—however, Arden's next request made her face twitch.
In terms of length, Master Yixuan's beautiful legs surpassed even Hoshimi Miyabi's. Compared to Miyabi's firmness, though, Yixuan's legs gave Arden a more fleshy sensation—soft and smooth.
They're also at the "legs-you-can-play-with-for-a-lifetime" level, but if only they were in black stockings…
This thought grew uncontrollably in Arden's heart, and he simply voiced it out loud.
"Master Yixuan, could you wear black stockings?"
As his words fell, Arden looked at Master Yixuan with anticipation, openly revealing his desires without the slightest concealment.
"..."
Hearing Arden's increasingly excessive request, Yixuan felt both speechless and helpless.
This disciple of hers was good in every way—capable and competent—but this mindset of his… was far too unhealthy!
If it were in private, say in the dead of night, she could secretly put on black stockings and let him hug them, but with so many disciples watching—if word got out, where would her authority as sect leader go?
If this brat isn't disciplined properly, he might really fall into the path of deviant cultivation!
Yixuan had observed Arden's performance since he joined nearly a year ago. Although he was somewhat presumptuous on the surface, he was never careless in handling serious matters and aligned well with Yunkui Summit's image as an upright sect. However, Yixuan knew that Arden practiced a dual-cultivation technique and was proficient in yin-yang harmonization. If he accidentally strayed onto the crooked path of draining yin to supplement yang, the consequences would be dire.
For the sake of the senior and junior sisters of Yunkui Summit, for Waifei Peninsula, and even for the women of New Eridu—and including herself—Master Yixuan felt it absolutely necessary to guide Arden onto the right path and ensure he stayed there.
"You, you! Looking like you've lost your soul—come back… to earth!"
Yixuan reached out and grabbed the Qingming Bird perched on her shoulder, which was watching the excitement without the slightest concern…
Chirp chirp… chirp?
She flung it straight into Arden's face.
Bang~!
Arden was sent flying backward, only stopping when he slammed into the wall.
Yixuan had meticulously controlled her strength—the hit wasn't heavy, just a warning—so Arden didn't leave a human-shaped hole in the wall.
Arden didn't mind at all.
He got up, wiped the nosebleed from his face, returned to his seat, yet his thoughts still hadn't come back.
Maybe… Sweety's legs are actually the closest to Hoshimi Miyabi's black-stockinged legs?
Every time Arden went to Failume Heights and Suibian Temple, he would stop by Yum Cha Sin—drinking tea and eating dim sum while also giving Sweety massages, bone-setting, and cupping. As for the texture, temperature, and scent of Sweety's long, pale legs, Arden was already extremely familiar with them.
Yes—familiarity second only to Ju Fufu, ranking number two.
I'll go to Yum Cha Sin tomorrow and try it with Sweety! Mm… best bring a pair of black stockings.
In Arden's memory, Sweety's long, pale legs were similar to Miyabi's—both gave off a slender, firm impression, though the sensation was different.
Hoshimi Miyabi wore black stockings, while Sweety wore none.
Come to think of it, what would it feel like to hug Miyabi's legs after she takes off the black stockings?
Arden secretly decided that the next time he met Hoshimi Miyabi, he would definitely try to get her to take off her black stockings, then rehearse the "Human Rocket Launcher: Three-Staged Combination."
Judging by Hoshimi Miyabi's attitude when they last parted, she probably wouldn't refuse Arden's "reasonable" request.
It's settled!
With his decision made, Arden finally came back to his senses and refocused his attention on the banquet.
