Heavenly Illusions

Xai Lin did not get angry at An Mo. She took half a step back and then reached up with her arms to interlace her fingers behind his neck.

Looking up at An Mo, she then asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

“So, what if I am?”

An Mo quite naturally rested his hands on Xai Lin’s waist, and then while baring his teeth— revealing his slightly long canines— he said.

“Then I think I should bite your ears more in the future. Afterall, it seems this isn’t crossing those boundaries you’ve inexplicably set up.”

Xai Lin raised her eyebrows and then asked in a teasing tone.

“Why does your tone sound so accusatory?”

“That’s because I am accusing you!”

An Mo rolled his eyes as he said.

Chuckling, Xai Lin explained.

“I set those boundaries to curb your seemingly uncontrollable curiosity. Who knows where it might lead you?”

An Mo pursed his lips, still unconvinced. But after thinking about Xai Lin’s words, he seem to have thought of something and an inexplicable blush appeared on his face, dying his fur and freckles a shade deeper.

“Where could it lead me? Don’t talk nonsense, Little Xai...”

An Mo muttered in a barely audible tone

It was only now that he realized how outrageous his request had been, but he swore he never thought in that direction at all. Xai Lin was the one in the wrong to actually think in such a lecherous manner, he was too innocent to compare to her.

Xai Lin chuckled upon seeing An Mo’s reaction. While catching a few strands of An Mo’s hair between her interlaced fingers and pulling at them, she smiled and spoke.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this topic anymore. Don’t you have any other request besides that one?”

“Eh?”

An Mo showed an expression of confusion on his face, as he looked at Xai Lin.

Upon seeing this, Xai Lin was not in a hurry to explain her words. She began pinching more of An Mo’s hair between her fingers while enjoying the smooth texture against her skin.

An Mo felt a tickling sensation travel down his spine, but due to Xai Lin’s silence, his brain couldn’t help but began deeply pondering her cryptic words.

However, it didn’t take long for him to understand what she meant.

“Oh! ...Oh.”

An Mo’s eyes lit up at first, but then he paused, before casting a shy smile at Xai Lin, who had turned her attention back onto the lake.

After hesitating for a few seconds, An Mo’s entire fur slowly became a shade deeper as he whispered.

“Xai-xai... can we kiss?”

Xai Lin pulled back her gaze from the lake, and focused her attention on a shy An Mo.

She couldn’t help but smile seeing him like this; Xai Lin especially liked the feeling of being able to make this usually boisterous boy so shy and obedient.

“Sure.”

Xai Lin finally said after a moment of silence.

An Mo’s eyes lit up in excitement when he heard that, but his subsequent actions showed just how nervous he was.

With a thought, the monkey features on his face transformed into human features, which resulted in his freckles becoming even more prominent.

Seeing this, Xai Lin softly said.

“I wouldn’t have mind either way.”

An Mo leaned forward towards Xai Lin’s face, while whispering.

“I just thought it was better this way.”

Xai Lin responded with a soft ‘hm’, but immediately after, An Mo’s lips gently landed on her’s.

An Mo felt Xai Lin’s lips against his own, and his first thought was that they were slightly warm. His second thought was ‘What should I do next?’— But after he couldn’t think of anything, he froze completely— awkwardly standing there with his lips pressed against Xai Lin.

Xai Lin seemed to notice his dilemma, and a soft chortle was stifled in her throat, but An Mo had still heard it.

Embarrassed, he leaned back and was prepared to defend his dignity, but before he could, Xai Lin pulled him back and kissed him.

Xai Lin’s kiss was different from his own. Her lips moved as she kissed him, and he instinctively followed her movements.

As the two’s breaths intertwine, before long, An Mo seemed to have gotten used to kissing and had even started proactively taking the lead. He pulled Xai Lin even closer and leaned his head further down to deepen the kiss.

However, Xai Lin suddenly extended her tongue and lightly brushed it against An Mo’s lip.

An Mo froze for a second, and Xai Lin took that opportunity to enter his mouth, taking back the lead.

Almost immediately, An Mo felt like his mind had exploded. The sensation coming from his lips and mouth caused his brain to become sluggish. He couldn’t even react to Xai Lin, just allowing her to crazily attack his lips and tongue.

Only after a long while did An Mo’s brain come back online, but even then, the only thought that crossed his mind was that he was about to be devoured.

However, Xai Lin suddenly bit his bottom lip, as if asking why he had stopped.

An Mo finally reacted and began responding to Xai Lin.

The two kissed for a long time, as if to vent the green emotions of affection that had unexpectedly formed between them, but also as a way to confirm the other’s feelings for each other. Afterall, no matter how relaxed they seemed while interacting, both were still new to this, and it was unavoidable that a bit of hesitation and insecurity would form deep down.

Though, through these series of kisses they’ve confirmed the others’ feelings, and those lingering emotions were obliterated without leaving a trace.

An Mo had taken back the lead much to Xai Lin’s unwillingness. He had even picked her up at some point, using one hand to support underneath her thighs, while resting the other on her lower back.

Xai Lin acquiesced to his actions, and An Mo felt a secret joy in his heart. The lingering bitterness from being wronged by Xai Lin from before was instantly swept away.

Only after an incense stick’s worth of time did the two finally separate.

An Mo was still holding up Xai Lin, so he had to look up slightly to meet her sparkling blue eyes. Xai Lin looked down and met An Mo’s shimmering golden eyes as well. The index finger of her hands that were resting against his neck, lightly rubbed the fur inside his collar.

As An Mo gazed at Xai Lin, his heart swelled with joy, before seeping out onto his face in the form of a broad smile. He couldn’t help leaning up to peck at Xai Lin’s lips a few times before resting his forehead against her’s and whispering.

“Xai-xai, I don’t know why, but I love you so much.”

Xai Lin’s closed her eyes; a gentle smile was on her face as she said.

“Wasn’t it because I seduced you?”

Upon hearing this, An Mo couldn’t help but giggle foolishly.

An Mo’s warm breath brushed against Xai Lin’s face as he laughed. Rubbing her forehead against his An Mo, Xai Lin softly said.

“Alright, it’s time to leave the Demonic Realm.”

“Okay. I’ll follow Little Xai’s lead.”
