Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

"Feel better...?"

After allowing Wu to wail on him for the better part of ten minutes, the power behind the petite monkey girl's punches gradually waned. In the end, she was just sitting atop his stomach with a pouty expression on her face.

Balling her right hand into a fist, Wu gave Vahn yet another punch as she asked, "Why did you do it? You had one of the strongest beings in the Little Garden at your beck and call and you decided to just free me? You could have sent me on a suicide run to the South and I wouldn't have had any choice but to obey. Tell me, why did you cut me loose so quickly? I mean, you didn't even..."

Unamused by the wry smile on Vahn's face, Wu grabbed the sides of his head as if she were about to headbutt him. Instead, she brought her face close enough that their noses were touching before asking, "Is this some game to try and win my heart? What, you aren't satisfied with just my body...?"

Shaking his head, Vahn opened his mouth to answer. The moment he did so, Wu attempted to steal his lips only to fall face-first into the pulverized remains of the sofa. There, she remained for several seconds, her face planted into the spot where Vahn's had been as her tail twitched vigorously from side to side.

Having phased through the frustrated monkey girl, Vahn whisked out a replacement sofa from his Inventory before sitting down and explaining, "Listen...you're a charming girl, Wu. Your personality leaves a lot to be desired but I would be lying if I said you weren't adorably attractive. The simple truth of the matter is that I didn't come here with those kinds of intentions. I also have no need for additional power, and, even if I were to try and win you over to my side, I would never do so using such...underhanded methods..."

Shaking his head, Vahn inhaled a deep breath before adding, "Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you're not the kind of woman who can play well with others. I have a harem that has long exceeded a hundred members. My family is also growing even as we speak. I'm not going to jeopardize their happiness just to alleviate your boredom..."

As if her batteries had run out, Wu's tail spontaneously went limp.

"...are you trying to say there are more than a hundred women better than me?"

Suppressing an exasperated sigh, Vahn answered, "You know damn well that wasn't the intention behind my words. I'm being honest with you, Wu. Stop regarding everything I say as part of some grand conspiracy to get you to fall in love..."

Using her tail, Wu pushed herself over before rising to a seated position. To Vahn's surprise, she actually had a relieved look on her face as she said, "That's good. If you had tried to argue those women were better than me, I would have had no choice but to seek them out and challenge each and every one of them. This makes things a lot simpler..."

Similar to how Eina's panties would become transparent when she was aroused, the fabric of Wu's martial attire became reminiscent of thin silk as she adopted a cheeky smile and said, "I never had any intention of marrying you or becoming something like your lover. Hell, unless you had forced me to, there's no way I was just going to abandon my home. I just want to have sex with someone stronger than myself. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a handsome man that matches that basic requirement?"

As her clothing gradually dissipated into a mist-like substance, Wu rolled forward, tumbling in a way that allowed her to seamlessly transition into a somersault. This brought her right in front of Vahn, an uncharacteristically serious look on her face as she said, "Let's become fuck buddies. I'm tired of being a virgin and you're probably the only decent person outside the 1-3-Digit Gates that can take it from me. If you reject me...I'm honestly not sure what I'll do..."

Though she would never compromise on her desire to prank him, Vahn was the first person Wu had ever met who was both approachable and stronger than she was. Everyone else that could compete with her in strength was either an eldritch abomination, an emotionless killing machine, or a female. Every other man she had ever taken an interest in was either too weak, taken by someone else, or a complete and utter monster in terms of personality. Finding someone that was powerful, kind, and unwilling to take advantage of others was like stumbling upon the winning ticket to a lottery in the middle of the street...

Noticing the hint of desperation contained in Wu's emerald green eyes, an almost overwhelming urge to sigh swelled from the very core of Vahn's being. A part of him was tempted to just create a Template or introduce her to one of the people back in his personalized Little Garden. It just wasn't in his nature. The person Wu had decided to give her virginity to was him, so, even if he did refuse her, there was no way in hell he could just send a replacement like she was just some prize waiting to be claimed...

"You really don't give up until you get what you want, do you...?"

Sensing the direction things were going, a visibly relieved smile developed across Wu's face as she cheekily replied, "You're learning..."

Adopting a smile of his own, Vahn extended his hand in come hither gesture as he teased, "And you're about to..."

Accepting Vahn's outstretched hand, a surprised yelp emanated from Wu's throat as he promptly pulled her to sit with her back against his chest. Then, before she could even think to protest, he placed one hand on her abdomen before leaning down to nibble on her rounded, monkey-like ear.

"Ah! What...what the hell do you think you're doing...!?"

As his left hand traced up Wu's abdomen, Vahn answered, "Lesson one...foreplay..." before grabbing her right breast. She had moderately sized B-Cups even without utilizing her 72 Transformations, so, while they were strangely hard, they fit comfortably in the palm of his hand. This made them perfect for groping, so, while his right hand replaced his left's position on her abdomen, Vahn proceeded to gently knead Wu's breast before whispering, "Feel free to tap out whenever you want..."

Hearing Vahn's words, Wu ceased biting her bottom lip long enough to reach back, hands grasping his hair as she asserted, "Sun Wu Kong never quits..."

Chuckling softly in the face of the monkey girl's bravado, Vahn habitually manipulated the flow of time in their surroundings until they were practically cut off from the rest of the world. Then, as his right hand slowly descended below her navel, he softly mused, "There's a first time for everything. You're about to experience several..."

Opening her mouth, Wu was about to riposte when an alarming shiver ran from the very core of her being to her brain. At first, she didn't understand what happened, as, the moment the jolt hit her, a blindingly golden card manifested a few centimeters away from her nose. When she read what was on the card, the pupils of her eyes contracted to fine points as Vahn's middle finger came to rest on her precious little bean...

"How are you feeling...?"

After one of the most passionate sessions of lovemaking she had ever experienced, Black Rabbit was in such a daze that she simply regarded Vahn's words as an auditory hallucination. They had literally gone at it for days, and, towards the end, she wasn't even sure where her body ended and Vahn's began. It was like they had become a singular entity, and, now that they had separated, it was like an integral part of her being had been removed...

Recognizing the symptoms of what Da Vinci referred to as Vahnistic Dependency, an apologetic smile developed across Vahn's face as he bent down to plant a kiss between Black Rabbit's ears. He had tried to hold back, but, the longer they went at it, the more impassioned the lovable bunny girl became. Things eventually reached a point where he simply couldn't satisfy her using conventional methods, so, after explaining the process mid-coitus, they ended up melding for nearly thirty hours straight.

Similar to Black Rabbit, there had been a moment when Vahn felt as though they were one and the same. He now knew everything there was to know about the perpetually pink-haired rabbit, and, if he really wanted to, there was a fair chance he could even deceive the Central Network if he were to transform into her. In exchange, Black Rabbit had been given a brief look into the incomprehensible vastness of his existence. Such an experience was life-changing, and, more often than not, resulted in a state of mind that could best be characterized as enlightenment...

With her spiritual power exploding far beyond its previous limits, the only thing preventing Black Rabbit from developing to her next stage of growth was the fertilized egg within her womb. Her body was instinctually routing all the excess energy towards the developing fetus, and, as a result, her hair was semi-permanently affixed in a vibrant, nearly-red shade of pink.

Some might assume that Black Rabbit's pink hair was responsible for the amorous aura that now exuded from her body. Instead, it was the fact she had awakened a Divinity related to Sex halfway through their melding.

For reasons Vahn was well aware of but chose not to acknowledge, his sex life was the part of his memories that Black Rabbit had been most drawn to whilst they were connected. She now knew the full extent of his relationships with other women, and, as a result, her libido had flowered into something even he wasn't fully confident in handling.

Fortunately, unlike Divinities in the Lower Realms, Divinities in the Little Garden could be sealed in the form of Gifts. Black Rabbit could also give up her Divinity in a similar manner to Leticia, so, as worrying as the existence of an S-Rank Sex Divinity was, Vahn chose to believe Black Rabbit would be able to overcome it. He knew, even better than herself, how strong she was. Thus, once the initial high had worn off, she should return to her usual, bubbly, and somewhat naive self.

As tantalizing as the thought of an S-Rank Bunny Goddess of Sex was, Vahn would rather enjoy a nice and leisurely session of lovemaking. He didn't mind experimenting, but, unless she sincerely wanted to try a new play or position, he would prefer it if Black Rabbit remained the same loveable bunny he had nearly fallen in love with at first sight...

With that thought in mind, Vahn held Black Rabbit's indescribably soft body as tenderly as possible before whispering, "I love you..." in a soothing tone that caused the surrounding space to fluctuate under the compulsion of his Authority. In response, Black Rabbit's ears twitched, and, though there was a distant look in her vibrant, glowing red eyes, she still managed a faint smile as she replied, "I love you too..."
