Capítulo 2172: Longing

While his other self was dealing with matters in the Heavenly Domain, another version of Vahn was helping Heng'e get situated in the Sage Dragon's Hearth. She had requested to become a Maid so the first thing he did was introduce her to Shiroyukihime, Leticia, Iris, Mira, Lisanna, and quite a few others. He also explained his relationship with Black Rabbit, a revelation that had caused the silvery-haired Avatar to briefly short-circuit as neither she nor Chang'e had expected to encounter the last surviving descendant of their former Masters.

Though Black Rabbit was more than a little famous within the Little Garden, few people knew where she lived or what she was up to. Her association with the No Names wasn't particularly well known, as, for the time being, neither were they. All anyone knew for certain was that she was working for and under the protection of the Eastern Floor Master, Shiroyasha.

Needless to say, Heng'e was both befuddled and tremendously relieved to learn that the daughter of her former Mistress was both alive and well. They even had a brief yet tearful reunion that caused Black Rabbit quite a bit of duress as she hadn't met anyone from the Moon Palace in more than 300 years. Heng'e's unexpected arrival ended up bringing back a lot of memories, so, while Lisanna and the others helped the former get situated, Vahn stayed with Black Rabbit to help ease her tensions...

"You okay...?"

Though she nodded in affirmation, Black Rabbit didn't remove her face from Vahn's chest. His smell had a calm and relaxing quality to it, almost like taking a nap in a verdant forest on a cool yet sunny day. She had developed a bit of a dependence on it, so, fearing Vahn might leave if she opened her eyes and said everything was okay, Black Rabbit elected to remain silent as she enjoyed the warmth from his body.

Well aware of Black Rabbit's thoughts, Vahn nestled his face between her ears, a faint melancholy visible in his countenance as he ran the fingers of his right hand through her silky blue hair. He had always been sensitive to the emotional states of others, so, whenever someone he cared about was feeling blue, he couldn't help feeling the same. Thus, with Black Rabbit's mind replaying memories of her family, Vahn couldn't help thinking about the family he had left behind...

"I want a baby..."

Blinking back to awareness, Vahn looked down to find the roots of Black Rabbit's hair transitioning from a melancholic blue to a luminous pink. Then, as if she could sense his gaze, she looked up at him, her red eye glistening with longing as she repeated, "I want a baby..."

Returning a smile, Vahn resisted the urge to ask why she had chosen this particular timing to ask for a baby. He had already been keeping her waiting for more than seven months, so, without showing any signs of unwillingness or hesitation, he brought his face closer to hers as he playfully replied, "I was hoping you'd ask..." before stealing her lips the moment she tried to respond.

As if a switch had been flipped, Black Rabbit went from sitting at Vahn's side to stradling his lap in less than three seconds. She had always been one of his more 'active' girls, but, now that she knew what was at stake, Black Rabbit was like an entirely different person as she ripped open Vahn's shirt without breaking from his kiss. This gave Vahn the urge to laugh. Instead, he followed Black Rabbit's example by tearing away her skirt and panties in the same motion...

...

Sensing what his counterpart was up to, Vahn couldn't help cracking a smile and muttering, "Lucky bastard..." before throwing back a glass of hazel-brown liquid.

Hearing Vahn's remark, a battered and bruised Erlang Shen gave him a sidelong glance, asking, "Are you making fun of me? Which part of me looks lucky to you...?"

Answering in Vahn's stead, Wu ceased noming on a plate of golden apples long enough to chime in and remark, "Stop whining. You're supposed to be a proud warrior God. A few cuts and bruises after battling against the Great Me is getting off easily. Besdies, don't think I haven't noticed you stealing glances at my butt. I'm keeping count of each one so you had better prepare yourself..."

Though he paled quite a bit in response to Wu's words, Erlang Shen was unable to prevent his eyes from wandering towards the peachy mounds visible within arm's length. Wu, for reasons he dared not inquire, had taken it upon herself to lay across the table in front of Vahn. She had also changed into her martial attire, but, after complaining about the heat, she ended up removing the coat that usually concealed her exposed back and bottom. As a result, her butt was completely visible except for a piece of thin fabric that disappeared between her pert and peachy butt cheeks...

Snorting through his nose, Erlang Shen was tempted to state he didn't have an interest in children, but, understanding the risks involved, he elected not to. Instead, he took several large swigs of the six-thousand year old whiskey Vahn was having him try. It tasted drastically different from the wines of Heaven, but, thanks to the fiery aftertaste, it was quickly growing on the three-eyed God.

After increasing Erlang Shen's tally by three, one for each eye, Wu took a bite out of a half-eaten apple before shifting her attention to Vahn and asking, "You're doing something naughty, aren't you? I can feel my skin tingling in response to the excitement you're trying to suppress. Look."

Holding up her left arm, Wu revealed that the fine hairs along its surface were standing on end. Her tail also appeared noticeably more bristly, and, though he was certain she was only doing it to mess with Erlang Shen's dog-like senses, Vahn could smell an aroma reminiscent of flowers and fruit that didn't come from the apples strewn across the table.

Though it earned him a moderately incredulous look from Erlang Shen, Vahn didn't attempt to deny Wu's words. Both she and Erlang Shen possessed the ability to see through lies and falsehoods, so, after a moment of silence, he answered, "You're not wrong. Rather than saying I'm doing something naughty, however, it would be more accurate to say I'm being...procreative..."

Blinking in surprise, Wu's expression became unreadable even to Vahn as she responded with a soft and curt, "Oh..." before biting into the core of her golden apple. As for Erlang Shen, he honestly had no idea how to approach such a conversation so he ended up finishing off the contents of his glass before slaming it on the table, exhaling a sigh, and saying, "I should probably be going. When next we meet, drinks are on me."

Sensing things were heading in a strange direction, Erlang Shen decided to leave before he ended up digging himself into an even deeper hole. Before he could depart, however, Vahn called out to him, saying, "Feel free to stop by the Sage Dragon's Hearth in the future. I tend to take care of my friends so expect a pleasant surprise if you decide to stop by."

Turning around, it was Erlang Shen's intent to return an appreciative smile, but, as if compelled by instinct, his eyes briefly darted to Wu's bottom. As a result, his expression appeared more wry than grateful as he said, "I'm looking forward to it..."

With Wu giving him a casual look that was somehow scarier than when she was angered, Erlang Shen punctuated his words by promptly departing with a wave. He had always trusted his instincts, so, the moment he got outside, his speed increased as he bolted from the premises like a criminal in flight...

Sensing the speed in which Erlang Shen departed, Vahn's expression hardened ever so slightly as he remarked, "I thought I told you not to bully people..."

Raising her brows, Wu took a bite out of a fresh apple, its flesh and juices mixing in her mouth as she flatly rebutted, "You said you wouldn't tolerate me bullying people in your presence, not that I couldn't bully them. Besides, I'm the victim here. All I've been doing the past hour or two is eating apples. I didn't force him to stare at my butt."

Unable to outright refute Wu's words, an exasperated sigh escaped Vahn's throat as he leaned back and combed through his hair. This prompted Wu to shift atop the table, but, instead of perching on his lap as Vahn expected, she ended up sitting at the very edge of the table with her legs drawn up in a way that allowed her to rest the soles of her feet on its side. This left absolutely nothing to the imagination, but, instead of staring at the ostensibly inviting sight less than a few centimeters away from him, Vahn met Wu's gaze as he asked, "What do you want...?"

With a smile developing across her face, Wu supported herself by leaning back on her hands as she lowered one of her feet to Vahn's left thigh. Then, as if stating a simple truth, she answered, "I don't know. I'm not exactly the type of person that wastes time anguishing over the consequences of my actions. I just follow my instincts and act in the moment..."

Punctuating her statement, Wu traced her toes along the interior of Vahn's thigh before moving further up. Before she could make any substantial progress, however, Vahn grabbed her ankle, his expression flat yet serious as he clarified, "That isn't what I was asking about. I want to know what your dream is."

Blinking in surprise, Wu hesitated for a moment before leaning forward to place her right foot on Vahn's knee. Then, with her face less than ten centimeters away from his, she asked, "Who sent you here? Was it Shiroyasha...?"

Though he wouldn't be able to deny Shiroyasha's involvement, Vahn shook his head, answering, "I came here of my own volition. I'm aiming to occupy a 4-Digit Gate in the near future so I'm making deals with a few existing powers to ensure things progress smoothly. If you think I came here at the behest of someone else, you're mistaken. I also had no idea our paths would intersect. In fact, prior to the banquet, I didn't even know you were a woman..."

Sensing no falsehoods in Vahn's words, Wu's tensions gradually relaxed as she liberated her foot from his grasp and said, "I see...though I find it hard to believe you were unaware of something as basic as my gender, I can't really blame you. The Demon King of Confusion has been spreading all kinds of misinformation about me in an effort to influence my Origin..."

Recalling her self-proclaimed nemesis, an exasperated sigh escaped from Wu's throat as she stared up at the ceiling for several seconds. Then, just as Vahn was about to ask if everything was okay, she elected to answer his previous question, revealing, "My dream died more than three-hundred-years ago. Now, the only thing I'm looking forward to is teaching a certain three-headed albino bastard a lesson..."

Undertanding exactly who Wu was referred to when she said 'three-headed albino bastard', Vahn's expression softened into an apologetic smile. He could be jumping to conclusions, but, with what he knew of the Seven Sages and their bond, he imagined Wu had been devasted when nearly half the group was wiped out. Wu was a prideful person who cared deeply about her subordiantes so she had likely taken it personally when the Demon God and his forces killed her friends...

Feeling the deep-seeded resentment Wu had towards the Demon God, Vahn pulled the befuddled monkey girl onto his lap. Then, before she could protest or misinterpret his intentions, he wrapped his arms around her body, his tone as sincere as possible as he whispered, "Shhhhh...it's going to be okay..."

Furrowing her brows, Wu was tempted to escape from Vahn's grasp, smack him on the head, and remind him she wasn't some child that needed coddling. Instead, her body tensed as he hugged her head to his chest and added, "Your hair smells nice..."

Capítulo 2173: Entrapment

With minutes bleeding into hours, Wu's desire to escape from Vahn's embrace gradually faded away. She had even fallen asleep at one point, the hairs across her body standing on end when she awoke to find herself nuzzling against someone.

Fortunately, Vahn had been in a dormant, seemingly asleep state at the time. In reality, he was simply more focused on what his other vessels were up to. As a result, the tensions in Wu's body gradually relaxed as she stared at his sleeping face with a thoughtful look on her own.

"If you don't stop pretending...I'm going to prank you..."

Though she got the impression Vahn was actually asleep, Wu couldn't come to terms with the fact she had been proactively nuzzling against him. Most of her previous displays of affection had been an act. She was still deadset on getting her revenge against Vahn for humiliating her in front of one of her friends and subordinates...

Seeing Vahn fail to react to her words, a slightly conflicted look developed across Wu's face as she muttered, "There is a limit to looking down on someone..."

Since she had made it very clear she intended to prank him, Wu couldn't help feeling as though Vahn was looking down on her. Her Fragment of Origin recorded her as one of the most prankish individuals in the Divine Realm. If the opportunity to prank someone presented itself, it was nearly impossible for her to resist the temptation. Thus, after several seconds of staring at Vahn's sleeping face, a pettish snort escaped Wu's nose as she slowly and carefully inverted her position.

"Let's see you sleep through this..."

After failing to get a glimpse previously, Wu would be lying if she said she wasn't interested in what Vahn was concealing beneath the fabric of his trousers. She had seen plenty in the past. Heck, there was even a time when she had disguised herself as a man using the 72 Transformations. That didn't prevent her from wanting to take a look. After all, men were pretty sensitive about the sizes of their penises. If Vahn had a meager mushroom instead of a banana, she could use it to make fun of him...

"What, pray tell, do you think you're doing...?"

Hearing the familiar tone, the hairs across Wu's body stood on end. In spite of this, she tugged at the belt and fabric of Vahn's trousers with a grim and resolute look on her face. The material was a lot more durable than she expected, but, with functionally unlimited strength, it only took a single determined tug to tear through both.

"...!?"

Contrasting every expectation Wu possessed prior to tearing away Vahn's trousers, another pair of trousers existed beneath the first. Upon closer inspection, she realized that even the remnant fabric of the previous pair of trousers had simply disappeared...

"What the heck...?"

Unaware of the existence of Vahn's 'Auto-Equip Function', Wu attempted to tear away the second pair of trousers only to feel a sharp, radiating pain from her bottom. Vahn had given her right cheek a smack, and, as a result, she ended up tumbling forward and face-planting between his legs.

"I'm the God of Infinite Possibilities, not the God of Limitless Patience. Keep playing with fire and it's only a matter of time before you receive a burn..."

Rather than attempting to right herself, Wu tucked her feet up near her head before raising her butt and staring at Vahn upside down. This caused the thin white fabric concealing her body to strain in a manner that left nothing to the imagination as she waggled her butt and retorted, "I'm not afraid of getting burned. I once spent forty-nine days in Laozi's furnace, the Brazier of Eight Trigrams. Even if you were a thousand times hotter, I wouldn't be affected..."

Furrowing his brows in response to Wu's words, Vahn briefly recalled the fact that she, much like Shiroyasha in her youth, was exceptionally vulnerable to wagers. This was the source for each and every one of their losses, so, after a moment of consideration, Vahn decided to set a trap, asserting, "If I was serious about injuring you, I could easily cut, bruise, or even burn your skin..."

Flipping right side up, Wu adopted a cautious yet skeptical look on her face as she asked, "Are you trying to bait me into a wager?"

While it was true that most of her defeats could be attributed to her prideful and fearless nature, that didn't mean Wu was completely oblivious to the machinations of others. She possessed an instinct bordering on the precognitive, so, the moment Vahn made his assertion, her guard was raised. Was she going to back down? No way in hell. She wouldn't be the most 'fearless' in all of Heaven if she tucked her tail and ran away.

As it infringed upon his pride to lie and deceive people, Vahn shrugged in response to Wu's words, saying, "I won't deny it. However, my reason for doing so is in response to your previous claim. You may think your indestructibility is inviolable but there are plenty of ways to circumvent it without a Gift Game. Knowing this, I simply decided to point it out...how you interpret that is ultimately up to you..."

Adopting a rather vicious-looking smile on her face, the tufts of hair above Wu's monkey-like ears began to fray as her hair became noticeably spikier. For a very brief moment, Vahn thought she was about to go Super Saiyan. Instead, the smile on her face grew to the point he thought it was going to tear her face as she said, "You cheeky little lizard. Fine. I'll take the bait. Tell me the terms of your wager. If they're fair, I'll accept without hesitation."

Adding fuel to the fire, Vahn shook his head, stating, "It doesn't matter what the terms are. Even a completely one-sided wager where I stand to gain nothing is unfair to my opponent. After all, there is absolutely nothing you can do to win. It doesn't matter if you cheat or come up with bogus rules that make it nearly impossible to win. My victory may as well be predetermined."

With her ability to deduce truth from lies, Wu couldn't help tensing in response to Vahn's words. In spite of this, the smile on her face was unaffected. She refused to take Vahn's words lying down, so, understanding there was a chance he merely believed his words to be true, Wu extended her hand, palm up as she said, "We'll keep it simple then. You'll have ten seconds to try and inflict an injury on my hand. If I win, everything you possess, have possessed, or will possess will belong to me. You will come to stay with me on Mount Huoguo and spend the rest of eternity attending to my every want and need..."

Feeling an uncontainable giddiness spreading through her body, Wu, for only the second time in her life, felt nervous. If Vahn actually accepted her wager and lost, they would be together for the rest of eternity. This wasn't an exaggeration either, as, due to the number of Immortal Peaches she had consumed, her lifespan had already been extended by tens of billions of years. Her name had also been erased from the Book of Mortals, so, even if something was able to destroy her body, her spirit would persist until the end of existence itself...

Though she would never admit it, Wu was genuinely afraid of spending her eternity alone, so, after a brief pause, her frenzied smile gradually developed into a more serious expression as she added, "If you win...I'll let you do whatever you want, whenever you want, to my body. Even if you decided to cut me into pieces and use my flesh to produce the Elixir of Immortality, I wouldn't offer any kind of resistance..."

Realizing that Vahn might be the only person who could kill her if his claims proved to be true, Wu decided to place her body on the line as collateral. She was pretty sure he wouldn't actually cut her up or make her do anything she didn't want to do, so, even if he gained the right to do whatever he wanted to her body, Wu wasn't particularly concerned. They may have only known each other for a day or two but she could already tell Vahn was a big softie...

Demonstrating this, an exasperated sigh escaped Vahn's mouth as he adopted a visibly concerned expression and said, "You shouldn't be so quick to wager your body like that..."

Snorting through her nose, Wu resisted the urge to point out she was basically demanding his very existence as she said, "You're the one who said I could decide the rules and wager. If you back out now, it will be my victory by default. So much for your 'predetermined' victory..."

Emphasizing her point, a golden Geass Roll unfurled a few meters away from the sofa Vahn and Wu were entangled on. The Central Network closely monitored things like promises and wagers, so, the moment Vahn relinquished the right to negotiate, a Geass Roll matching Wu's terms was formed. In other words, unless she decided to annul the contract, he had no choice but to accept.

Resisting the urge to run his hand through his hair, Vahn answered, "Very well..." before reaching out and placing the index finger of his right hand against Wu's palm. The ten-second countdown had started the moment he agreed to Wu's terms, so, without hesitation, Vahn covered the tip of his finger with Source Energy before heating it up to more than a million degrees in an instant. He had a decent understanding of Wu's durability so a lower temperature wouldn't have had any effect on her body.

As she could feel pain in spite of her indestructibility, Wu didn't immediately register the fact the center of her palm had been burned. It was only when the Geass Roll burned up, long before the ten-second countdown had completely, that she realized the truth. In spite of this, she still couldn't quite believe it when she pulled back her hand and discovered a charred blister at the center of her palm...

"Impossible..."

Shaking his head, Vahn's expression softened as he whispered, "Nothing is impossible...I don't refer to myself as the God of Infinite Possibilities just because I think it sounds cool. In fact, compared to some of my other titles, it sounds pretty lame..."

Smiling in self-deprecation, Vahn extended his hand to grasp Wu's wrist. This caused her body to tense, but, due to her loss, she was now wholly incapable of resisting anything Vahn wanted to do to her. She could attempt to run away, but, the moment he told her to come back, her body would move against her will. This was one of the more terrifying aspects of placing your body on the line, as, depending on the choices of the person who owned it, you would basically be a prisoner in your own body.

Fortunately, just as Wu had anticipated, Vahn had no desire to take advantage of her. After healing the burn on her palm, he promptly released her wrist before declaring, "As the owner of your body, I exercise my right to transfer ownership back to you. Make sure to take care better care of yourself from now on, okay?"

Taking advantage of the brief period where the Central Network was processing his request, Vahn gave Wu's head one final pat. Her stupefied expression was one of the cutest things he had ever seen. Unfortunately, the moment the corners of his smile turned upward, Wu's expression turned into a rather fierce glare as she promptly pounced on him, rage, indignation, and embarrassment visible in her glowing green eyes as she began hammering his face with meteoric punches...
