【Charm Skill upgraded to Lv7】

Xue Jing paused slightly, glancing at the string of notifications on his screen, a bit surprised.

The Charm Skill experience points were skyrocketing.

According to past patterns, an increase in experience suggested a proportional increase in affection towards him.

Could it be that the Sect Leader Ning was...

Xue Jing looked at Ning Fengwan, who was tightly clinging to him, curled up in his embrace, and an odd thought popped into his head.

Perhaps she would even agree to call him "daddy" now...

Shaking his head, he dismissed the strange idea.

The dealings with Senior Sister Zhu and Senior Sister Meng in the afternoon had left some after-effects, making his mind wander a bit.

Just as Xue Jing was about to speak, his expression suddenly shifted.

The cat-eared girl was hugging him tightly—

Extremely tightly—

As if wanting to merge her entire self into him.

And so, certain parts were naturally pressing against him.

The sensation was... extraordinarily soft.

Xue Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Wan Teacher, are you... not wearing anything?"

Looking down, he saw that Sect Leader Ning's lower half was obscured, while her upper half was clad only in his T-shirt.

'Well, it makes sense. Xue Wan's and our parents' rooms are locked, so she can't get in. The only clothes available at home are mine.'

At this moment, there was no external armor equipped.

As soon as Xue Jing spoke, Ning Fengwan's body tensed up.

Caught in the moment, she forgot this matter entirely.

The cat tail behind her seemed to sense her emotions, twitching restlessly.

The girl released her arms from around Xue Jing, shifting her body to leave his embrace.

She then covered her chest with both hands, her face turning crimson, 'I couldn't find it.'

Xue Jing rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment before saying, 'Teacher Wan, there's something I need to discuss with you.'

Ning Fengwan noticed his serious expression, as if he wanted to skip past this topic and discuss something important, and she let out a small sigh of relief.

Though a bit of inexplicable disappointment lingered in her heart, she still whispered in curiosity, 'What is it?'

Xue Jing explained the situation with the [GOD-1391·Cat Tail Ring] to Ning Fengwan.

'When the wearer experiences intense emotions, they will merge with the Cat Tail Ring and gain the power of the deity Bastet...'

Ning Fengwan frowned deeply.

'So, when I become emotionally intense in the future, it will deepen the fusion with the Cat Tail Ring until I become the so-called "Embodiment of Bastet?"'

Xue Jing cleared his throat.

'That's right, and... the emotion can't just be any random one. It has to be the same type of emotion you experienced when first triggered the fusion.'

Ning Fengwan initially appeared puzzled, 'What was the emotion during the first trigger?'

Then she immediately realized that the emotions she felt during the first thrill, wasn't it just towards Xue Jing...

Her face flushed instantly, and she covered her chest with both hands, scooting a bit away from Xue Jing. Tugging her t-shirt down to shield her fair, almost glowing thighs, she timidly asked, “What... what do you want to do?”

Xue Jing rolled his eyes, “It's not about what I want to do; it's about whether you want to do it.”

Ning Fengwan's face turned an even deeper shade of red.

Xue Jing noticed her misunderstanding and said helplessly, “No, I mean, do you want to try taking the initiative to accept this power?”

“If we're going to be up against a company as big as Kong De's Security, we need as many cards in our hand as possible... The Cat Tail Ring claims it can transform someone into 'Bastet,' something that’s linked to a deity, so it must be extraordinary.”

“That CEO Wu mentioned that so far, those who have transformed into 'Bastet' haven't shown any abnormal changes, just simply gaining Bastet's power...”

Ning Fengwan pursed her lips, “Do you trust this CEO Wu so much?”

Xue Jing thought for a moment and replied, “I wouldn't say I trust her deeply... just that I can't see any reason she would lie to me.”

A few days ago, during his contact with Bai Ya, he sensed something off about Bai Ya's attitude towards him. Moreover, the stark contrast between Void Blade's indifference to the death of squad members and its attitude towards him...

After pondering, the most likely reason seemed to be the intervention of Wu Youqing, this wealthy and dominant CEO.

Xue Jing felt that Wu Youqing was likely much more formidable than he initially imagined. Someone like her wouldn't need to deceive him about anything.

Over their period of interaction, his impression of Wu Youqing had been positive, and he didn’t think she harbored any malice towards him.

Ning Fengwan hugged her own legs, her jade-like feet curled up, stammering slightly, “Then... then let's give it a try?”

After saying that, she blushed again, quickly adding, “Don't get the wrong idea. I just think having more power gives more assurance, it's not because of anything else...”

Xue Jing waved his hand, “I understand, no need to explain.”

After a pause, he hesitated, “So... should we try?”

“How should we try?”

The two of them exchanged looks.

Xue Jing gave a light cough, “Why not... recreate the scene from that day?”

The young girl immediately blushed with embarrassment.

But after a moment, she gently nodded, almost inaudibly saying, “Okay.”

...

In the bathroom, Xue Jing was lying completely naked in the bathtub, soaking in warm water.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengwan had transformed back into a cat, lying on his chest, soaking together with him.

“So, any feeling?”

Xue Jing asked.

Ning Fengwan didn't dare look directly at the holy sword below; she only whispered, “It seems... it seems there isn't.”

Xue Jing recalled the situation from back then.

He remembered that it was because the [Mediocre Glasses] had been removed, releasing the suppressed presence that day, which had made the cat go wild at the time.

Now, without that divine relic, how could he make Ning Fengwan get carried away again?

Thinking for a moment, Xue Jing softly said, “Teacher Wan, how about you turn back into a human?”

Turn back into a human? In this situation?

Ning Fengwan suddenly recalled what happened that day in the bathroom, and an embarrassed expression, nearly human-like, appeared on the cat's face.

Yet inside... she didn't feel so resistant.

She thought for a bit and stammered, “Then you... you close your eyes...”

Xue Jing nodded and closed his eyes.

He couldn't help but swallow, feeling a bit restless inside...

Closing his eyes for barely a moment, Xue Jing heard Ning Fengwan take a deep breath.

Then... his chest felt a sudden heaviness.

A familiar sensation awakened his muscle memory.

Warm, soft, and slightly fluffy, intertwined with an elusive texture...

He shifted slightly, brushing against something.

"Mmm~" A strange sound echoed in his ear.

"Now... what should we do?" Ning Fengwan whispered, seemingly holding back something, her voice low and restrained.

Xue Jing spoke, "Teacher Wan... forgive me."

"Hmm?" Ning Fengwan sounded puzzled.

Before she could react, Xue Jing suddenly sat up from his reclining position.

She slid downward with a startled yelp.

This time, there was no collision incident.

Instead, they found themselves with Xue Jing embracing her from behind.

In the cramped confines of the bathtub, their bodies were tightly pressed together.

"Ah Jing... you..."

Ning Fengwan suddenly shivered all over, a tingling sensation running through her scalp, her cheeks flushed as if about to emit steam.

She could feel something hot pressed against her back...
