Firefly, Let's Play a Round! Right Now

When the Firefly dressed up again and stood on the top of the building, there was still a strong sense of unreality.

The warmth of their embrace still lingered on their skin; everything that had just happened was as beautiful as a meticulously woven dream from which they didn't want to wake.

And this place is, after all, a dream!

However, an unprecedented and tangible change is quietly emerging from the depths of the body.

The weakness and sluggishness brought on by the Entropy Loss Syndrome, which was like a bone-deep ailment that constantly eroded her vitality, actually... lessened.

Although it hasn't disappeared, it's like a taut string that's been loosened slightly.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the persistently overcast sky.

A long-lost vitality is flowing weakly but firmly in my veins.

Firefly looked up at the Lin Hai beside her, her voice trembling slightly:

"I feel... my body is really getting better."

Lin Hai smiled and reached out to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

"It seems that being favored by me does indeed have some remarkable effects."

"It's more than just a little..." Firefly sighed softly. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then... if I encounter danger in the future, or if my health deteriorates again, as long as... as long as you pamper me, will I get better like this?"

Yes, it will.

Lin Hai's answer was brief and affirmative.

This certainty put Firefly's anxious heart back on track, and a great sense of security enveloped her.

She paused for a moment, as if making a decision.

The afterglow of the setting sun softened her face, and she looked up at Lin Hai.

There is someone... she wants to see you.

"Who?"

"Kafka."

Firefly uttered the name while carefully observing Lin Hai's reaction.

Upon hearing the name, Lin Hai's eyes remained unmoved; he simply nodded calmly.

"No problem."

Things are different now than they used to be.

In the past, his strength was insufficient, and when facing this mysterious and powerful woman among the Stellaron Hunters, he inevitably had to weigh his options carefully.

But Lin Hai has now undergone multiple breakthroughs, and his strength is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

He was fully confident in handling any situation, including his meeting with Kafka.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Firefly took a step forward and grasped his hand.

"In dreams and on a spiritual level, I am already your woman. Lin Hai, if you don't want to see her, or feel anything is amiss, I will handle it. You can pretend you were never here."

"It's alright, it'll be good to meet her. I'm also a little curious why she wants to see me."

"Don't just do this to appease me," Firefly insisted. "Aren't you curious about what our relationship is, Kafka... and me?"

Lin Hai reached out and gently stroked the tip of her nose.

"Since you chose to tell me and take me to see her, you certainly wouldn't harm me. I trust you, so why worry too much?"

These words, full of trust, warmed Firefly's heart.

She nodded vigorously, all her worries vanishing.

"Then..." Lin Hai said, "You arrange the time and place for the meeting."

"Good."

Fireflies should fall.

Like a firefly emerging from the surface of water, Firefly's consciousness slowly awoke from the Dream Pool.

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times before she fully opened her eyes.

She didn't get up immediately, but lay quietly in the cool liquid, carefully feeling the changes in her body.

An unprecedented lightness and vitality is spreading from every part of my body.

The weakness that had once shrouded her like a dark cloud had truly lessened!

Firefly tentatively moved her fingers; her joints were flexible, and her fingertips seemed to be filled with a warm power.

She took another deep breath, her chest expanding smoothly, and the vague sense of oppression she used to feel was gone.

This is not a dream.

Although the experience just now occurred in a dream, this real body is undergoing an incredible improvement.

Just then, a faint sound of water came from the next room.

Lin Hai had emerged from another Dream Pool and arrived at her room.

He saw the look of surprise in Firefly's eyes and knew that the effect had been achieved.

He had somehow acquired a set of youthful and energetic sportswear in his hand.

A pair of yoga pants that fit your curves, and a cool sports vest.

How are you feeling?

Lin Hai smiled and gently helped her up from the Dream Pool.

Help her dry off and change into this new outfit.

Soft fabric wrapped around the reborn body.

Firefly's cheeks flushed slightly, a mixture of excitement at regaining her vitality and shy intimacy at changing clothes in front of him.

She tried moving her hands and feet, her movements nimble and full of flexibility.

"That's great... it really feels like I have a new body."

Firefly's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Lin Hai nodded, then got back to the main point. "You said you have a way to contact Kafka?"

"Um."

Firefly composed herself, walked to a corner of the room, and activated the Sam armor.

Clicking the armor's built-in encrypted communication module, a faint electrical buzzing sound followed by the connection being established.

"Fireflies?"

Kafka's distinctive voice came from the other end of the communication line.

She's also at Penacony.

"Kafka..." Firefly glanced at Lin Hai, "I've seen Lin Hai, and he agreed to meet with you."

"Oh?"

Kafka's voice didn't betray much surprise. "Very good. Time and place?"

Firefly and Lin Hai exchanged a glance and quickly finalized the details before informing each other.

Kafka readily agreed, and then the communication was cut off.

As soon as the communication ended, before Firefly could completely withdraw from the armor, she was already out of the armor.

Lin Hai approached from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, which appeared even more slender due to her sports vest.

He lowered his head and gently pressed his warm lips to the back of her fair neck.

Firefly's body trembled slightly, letting out a soft whimper like a kitten, but she did not resist at all. Instead, she relaxed her body, leaned back into his arms, and enjoyed the intimacy.

Lin Hai's kisses fell softly, spreading from the back of her neck to her shoulder blades, as if he wanted to leave his mark on her body.

He only stopped, satisfied, when a dozen or so ambiguous, light red marks were left on his smooth skin.

Firefly turned around, her cheeks flushed, and looked at him with moist eyes.

In my dreams, I am already your woman... but physically, not completely...

Upon hearing this, a hint of aggression flashed in Lin Hai's eyes, and he curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"So... shall we start a game now?"

At first, Firefly didn't fully understand this slightly teasing remark, but she caught the undisguised desire and possessiveness in Lin Hai's eyes and instantly understood what he meant.

A blush of shyness quickly spread across her face, but instead of flinching, she bravely met his gaze and nodded almost imperceptibly.

This subtle nod ignited the final fuse.

Lin Hai chuckled softly, then without further hesitation, scooped her up in his arms.

Firefly gasped softly and wrapped her arms around his neck. The next second, a torrent of passionate kisses rained down upon her, more real and more intense than any dream!

With a heat that wants to completely melt each other, it proclaims the complete breaking of certain boundaries!
