After spending countless hours honing his skills with the LOG treasure, Xu Fang finally emerged and headed to the dining hall for a well-deserved lunch. Rather than assisting his sisters, a routine he typically followed, he returned to his room with a clear goal in mind. Today, he decided to skip helping his siblings and instead focused on delving into alchemy practice within the treasure, gearing up for his upcoming role in the Ledal Alchemist Association.
As he stood on the cusp of entering the treasure for another productive session, a distinct knock resonated on his room door. Opening it, Xu Fang found Long Xiu standing there. Inviting her in, they settled on the bed to chat. Long Xiu took the lead in the conversation.
"Congratulations, Xu Fang, on the Three Elements endorsement."
"Thanks, Mother Xiu," he said, expressing his gratitude for her acknowledgment.
"I've also come to extend my congratulations on the second matter," Long Xiu revealed, revealing her dual purpose for the visit.
"And what's that second thing?" He inquired with curiosity evident in his tone.
"It's about gaining your mother's approval to explore beyond the castle for real-world adventures," she disclosed, unveiling the second matter she had alluded to earlier.
"Oh, so Mother has already spread the news to everyone," Xu Fang remarked, realizing the subject at hand.
"Xu Fang, I need to ask you something. Can you promise to tell me the truth?" Long Xiu inquired, seeking his honesty.
"What is it?" Xu Fang responded, curious about the question she was about to pose.
"First, promise me that you'll be truthful," Long Xiu insisted, asking for his assurance.
"It depends on the question," he replied with a smile, maintaining a sense of playfulness.
"Okay, can you tell me why I couldn't see through your original cultivation? How were you able to conceal it?" Long Xiu asked, probing into the mystery.
"Oh, it's a secret," he replied with a mysterious smile, leaving the question unanswered.
"I already know you did not tell me the truth," she remarked, indicating that she was aware of his response.
"But I'll reveal that secret if you grant me something in return," he added, wearing a mysterious expression.
"What do you want in return?" she inquired, curious about his request.
"I want to give you a massage. Do you agree?" Xu Fang asked, seeking permission to carry out the unusual request.
"What? Do you realize what you're asking?" She responded with a shocked expression.
"Yes, I'm fully aware of my request, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Why is it so surprising?" He replied calmly, showing no visible emotion.
"You're aware that I'm your mother. How can you make such a request?" she exclaimed, expressing her disbelief.
"You're not my mother; you're my stepmother. Plus, don't forget, we're friends as well," he clarified, emphasizing their relationship.
"Why are you behaving like this today?" she asked, her tone carrying a hint of irritation.
"What's wrong with my behavior? I simply want to massage your shoulders to alleviate your pain," he explained, expressing his intention to help with her discomfort.
"What? That's the reason behind your request?" she replied, her face blushing in embarrassment.
'Hahaha… it's quite amusing to tease her,' Xu Fang added in his mind.
"Exactly, what did you think I was talking about?" He teased her again, and she responded, her face growing even redder.
"Nothing, but how do you know about my pain? I hurt this morning in practice; I didn't even tell anyone."
'Hahaha… she looks adorable when she blushes like that,' he chuckled to himself once more.
"We practiced for more than six months every day, and you still don't know me well. I'm not a simple man; I'm a special one, a unique piece in this world," Xu Fang teased her with a mischievous smile. He subtly hinted at his use of the 'Lust Goddess' technique, allowing him to easily identify sensitive and painful spots of the opposite gender.
"Yeah, yeah, you're not simple, but you're still a young boy. Don't call yourself a man until you become stronger," she playfully replied, smiling as she teased him back.
"You're saying that because you have no idea how strong and capable I already am," he asserted confidently.
"Oh?" Long Xiu challenged him with a teasing smile.
"Don't believe me? Then try my massage, and you'll see if your perception of me is accurate or not," he offered, accepting her challenge.
"Okay, it's a deal. But you have to tell me how you manage to conceal your cultivation," she agreed, ready for the massage but with the condition of learning the secret behind his hidden cultivation.
"Then lay on the bed facing down." Xu Fang stood up and instructed her to lie on the bed.
After a few moments, she did as he said and lay on the bed, her back facing him.
Gently, he kneaded her shoulders, using just the right amount of pressure to ease the muscle tension. His fingertips traced the contours of her skin as if he were an artist sculpting a masterpiece.
Long Xiu's eyes were closed, and the moment Xu Fang's fingers touched the surface of her jade-like skin, her body trembled. He then started using the Lust Goddess technique on her beautiful shoulders, sending a soothing wave through her body.
"Ahhh~!" Long Xiu unintentionally moaned from the sudden pleasure amid her immense pain.
'What did he just do to me?' She cried inside her mind.
"Ahhhh~"
'W-What is this?! I have never felt anything like this before!' She moaned with delight, her body overwhelmed with tingling pleasure.
"Xu Fang… stop it… not right… Ahhh~!" She told him to stop this massage, but she was already enjoying it.
"Hmm? Do you want to stop it? When will I just start to cure you?" Xu Fang teased, causing her face to redden.
"Ahhhh~"
Xu Fang continued to massage her shoulders with a skill that made it appear like he was a professional, each movement executed with flawless precision.
Gradually, Long Xiu's pain subsided, giving way to a pleasurable sensation that overwhelmed her. He concluded the massage and withdrew his hands.
"Xu Fang, why did you stop?" Long Xiu questioned, Her voice shook with a hint of disappointment.
'Hahaha, time for a little teasing,' Xu Fang thought to himself.
"You're already cured; that's why I stopped," Xu Fang explained, assuring her that the massage had achieved its intended purpose.
Upon hearing his response, she turned her body, lying on her back, facing him. Her expression held a hint of desire as she looked into his eyes, awaiting what might come next.
"Can you...massage me...a few minutes more, please... I feel so uncomfortable," she requested, her mind not entirely focused on the words she spoke. Long Xiu found herself lost in the pleasure of the moment, craving more of whatever Xu Fang was doing.
She is on the edge of lust when he awakens in her with the Lust Goddess technique; she hasn't forgotten this message in her whole life.
"Why I do that is not right, you're my stepmother after all." He teased her again, and she blushed.
"Please stop teasing me and start massaging again, I will do anything you want."
She moved her hand between her legs and started to touch herself through her clothes, but she didn't feel like what she felt when he massaged her shoulders, so she started pleading with him.
"Anything? You don't forget that you promised me, right?" He asked, a playful smile on his face.
"Yes, promise. Now, please stop talking and start massaging again," she urged, her anticipation evident. Her body was eager for the soothing touch.
"Where do I start your massage now? Your shoulders are already cured?" he inquired, seeking guidance on the next area.
"Please stop talking and start massaging wherever you want," she responded, not wanting any more delays in the blissful experience.
"Oh, that's awesome," he commented to her, and he started to massage her, and this time he started to knead her two well-shaped and soft breasts through her dress.
"Like this?"
"Aaahh~"
Another wave of pleasure assaulted her mind, this time stronger than the last, forcing another sudden moan to escape her mouth.
As he continued, his touch seemed to transport her to another realm. Each stroke and knead sent waves of pleasure through her body, as if she were floating on cloud nine. She began to melt with a sensation of pure bliss.
"Ahhhhhhh~~~!" Long Xiu, after the next few minutes, experienced the first orgasm of her life.
Right, Long Xiu is still a virgin, even though she was married, because her marriage to Xu Fang's father was only for family relationship politics. Also, her husband was injured a few days later when he married Long Xiu.
No one else knows about it, not even Xu Fang's mother and stepmothers. Long Xiu didn't tell anyone about this.
"How is it? Now tell me, am I a boy or a man?" He asked her if she had called him a boy earlier.
"Haaa… haaa… haaa…" Long Xiu did not reply to him, she was too busy trying to breathe properly, and inside her mind was messed up. He didn't waste time and started to absorb Yin Qi.
After a few minutes, she managed to stabilize her breathing and calm down. However, when Long Xiu looked at Xu Fang, who stood near the bed where she lay, her face turned as red as a tomato.
"Can you keep it a secret?" She asked with a hint of embarrassment in her voice, then sat on the bed, noticing a wet area.
"You don't have to worry about it. I won't tell anyone," Xu Fang reassured her, emphasizing his discretion. Yet, he couldn't resist a teasing tone, he added.
"But now, it's time for you to fulfill the promise that you made to me earlier."
"Xu Fang, you are evil, taking advantage of someone in a critical condition. Sigh... What do you need?" Long Xiu complained, sighing as she asked him about his request.
"I want you," Xu Fang replied with a serious expression.
"What? Xu Fang, do you realize what you just said? Are you kidding with me?" Long Xiu's eyes widened in shock, seeking clarification.
"What's wrong with it? You're not married anymore, and you're still young. Why waste your life? I don't want to see you live like this. That's why I want you. I promise to make you happy from now on," Xu Fang expressed his desire for her to be happy and live with him.
"Xu Fang, you know it's very embarrassing," Long Xiu voiced her concern about the potential judgment of their relationship.
"Why do you feel embarrassed? It's your life, and you have the right to live happily," Xu Fang reassured her, urging her not to let societal judgments dictate her happiness as he took a seat beside her.
"It's not easy to live happily because there are lots of people who do not accept this relationship," Long Xiu admitted, revealing the challenges she faced due to societal expectations.
"Stop thinking about other people around you and start living happily. I didn't want to see a beautiful lady like you waste her life only in fear of what others think," Xu Fang encouraged, recognizing the importance of prioritizing her happiness.
Long Xiu's heart swelled with happiness and sweet feelings when Xu Fang called her a beautiful lady, but she managed to control her emotions in front of him.
