Honkai: Star Rail, Marry Acheron Upon Landing

"Hey, a little surprise. I'll tell you all about it when we get back."

"Mhm."

Seeing that Lin Shuang wasn't planning to explain for now, Acheron didn't press further.

"Shall we head out now?"

"Let's go."

As they spoke, Lin Shuang and Acheron pushed open the door and left the guest room.

Just as Acheron had mentioned before they arrived, their spaceship needed a complete overhaul and renovation.

Originally, they would have had to consider the budget, but now the Minghuo Merchant Group was covering all their expenses.

And the Minghuo Merchant Group's expenses could be directly reimbursed by the owner here, so Lin Shuang naturally wouldn't be polite.

After leaving the hotel, the two of them, Lin Shuang and Acheron, headed straight for the largest spaceship modification shop there.

There wasn't much else to say about what happened next.

Since they didn't have to pay themselves, all the important components of the spaceship were replaced with the latest models.

The subsequent disassembly and reassembly were entirely handled by the modification shop. Lin Shuang and Acheron only needed to wait a few days before they could go and inspect the results.

After completing the most important task, Acheron wanted to head back immediately, but Lin Shuang grabbed her hand.

"Don't rush! Aren't you going to eat something? There are so many delicious things, and it's not just fruit that's sweet. I've already found some recommended places on the local forum. Want to go try them out?"

Acheron looked at Lin Shuang, always feeling that Lin Shuang cared more about her matters than she did herself.

For Acheron, regaining her sense of taste and savoring various foods felt more like something she'd do incidentally during her travels.

She might measure it in years, even decades.

But in Lin Shuang's eyes, it seemed like the most important thing.

Even at the modification shop just now, whenever Lin Shuang tasted a delicious snack, she would bring it over and feed Acheron a bite.

If Acheron happened to praise something, Lin Shuang would note down the brand and name of the snack, as well as Acheron's own preferences.

Acheron believed her own emotions were very faint, but she could still feel Lin Shuang's care for her.

Lin Shuang seemed genuinely concerned about her being shrouded in the shadow of The Nihility.

During their past journeys.

Thanks to Acheron's formidable strength.

Most of the time, Acheron was the one taking care of others or giving. It was only after meeting Lin Shuang that she unexpectedly became the one receiving.

This feeling was quite peculiar.

At least for Acheron, this kind of experience was a memory she could barely recall.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Acheron nodded in agreement, allowing Lin Shuang to drag her hand as they walked onto the street.

Since both of them possessed excellent physical abilities, ordinary shopping wouldn't be tiring.

So Lin Shuang led Acheron to taste many of the planet's unique, eclectic, and special delicacies.

There were delicious things, and of course, there were also not-so-delicious things.

Perhaps Acheron hadn't tasted flavors for too long, but no matter what it was, she was willing to savor it carefully.

As for Lin Shuang, watching the subtle changes in Acheron's expression each time she tasted a different flavor brought her a sense of satisfaction.

Whether Lin Shuang admitted it verbally or Acheron knew it or not.

The two had, in fact, already gone through a wedding ceremony.

Even if she said to remain calm, could she really maintain that composure?

After all, Lin Shuang had never taken off the ring on her ring finger.

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already considered late night on this planet.

Pushing open the room door, the things Lin Shuang had requested were already prepared in the room.

"What are these things?"

Acheron walked closer and looked. She recognized most of the items; they weren't particularly valuable materials, but it was clear that most of them were for cosmetics and skincare.

"I was thinking, thanks to you, Acheron, I was able to escape from there. I thought I'd give you some pampering and relaxation."

"You know how to do this?"

"Just a little bit."

Lin Shuang made a small gesture with her hand and then said:

"Why don't you take a bath first? Or I can help you wash, that can also be considered part of the treatment."

Although the words were a bit strange, it was actually acceptable. From the initial cleansing, everything could be handled by Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang hadn't even reacted to what she said, but she herself blushed.

Acheron also didn't have the habit of letting others help her bathe. She shook her head, put down her sword, and walked into the bathroom.

Lin Shuang stared blankly at the frosted glass of the bathroom. A blurry figure could still be seen inside.

"Hoo... See no evil."

She raised her hand and slapped her face twice, trying to clear some of the lewd thoughts from her mind.

Only then did Lin Shuang sit down in front of the coffee table and begin to mix the conditioning agents.

However, Lin Shuang's movements were clumsy, and with the sound of trickling water from the bathroom.

Her eyes would always glance towards the bathroom from time to time.

Through the blurry frosted glass, the vaguely visible figure was full and slender, so alluring.

Gulp...

Lin Shuang couldn't help but swallow, her hands trembling slightly as she mixed the conditioning potion.

Volume 1: Chapter 24 - Oh no, this skill is really not right!

The bathroom door was pushed open, steam billowing out.

It was Acheron's first time in front of Lin Shuang changing out of her coat that so perfectly accentuated her figure.

A loose bathrobe was draped over her, but it couldn't hide Acheron's graceful curves.

Under the deliberately dimmed lighting, the slightly blurry scenery became even more enticing.

At this moment, the prepared essential oil and ointment were placed beside Lin Shuang, emitting a light and elegant fragrance.

Acheron lifted her long hair, bent down, and sniffed gently, seemingly surprised by the finished product.

"The scent is even better than I imagined."

As Acheron bent down in front of her, Lin Shuang was forced to see some heart-pounding sights.

"Of course. I adjusted it based on your preferences for scents today. It should be a relaxing aroma."

After speaking, Lin Shuang felt a little unconfident again. After all, it was her first time doing this, and for someone as charming as Acheron.

This was a bit too intense for Lin Shuang.

"Mhm, I like this scent."

Although it was conditioning.

Honestly, in Lin Shuang's opinion, Acheron's hair and skin were both perfect, leaving little room for improvement.

However, Lin Shuang's original intention was just to help Acheron relax, so it didn't really matter.

"Then I'll start by conditioning your hair."

Lin Shuang quickly stood up, giving her seat to Acheron.

Perhaps it was the steam clouding her vision, or the fragrance making her mind wander.

As she moved aside, she took Acheron's hand and guided her to lie down on the sofa. Lin Shuang's fingers happened to touch the hard texture of the ring.

This contact, inevitably, made Lin Shuang think of some inappropriate scenes again.

Fortunately, this time Acheron's gaze didn't fall on Lin Shuang, and she didn't catch the maiden's shy expression.

Lin Shuang sat beside Acheron, gently lifting her long hair. It was very soft and carried a faint fragrance.

As her long hair was lifted, the loose neckline revealed a neck as white as mutton-fat jade. Perhaps due to the recent bath, it was tinged with a slight pink.

It made one want to take a bite.

Taking a deep breath.

Lin Shuang raised her hand, her touch carrying a slight warmth, and stroked Acheron's long hair, wicking away some of the moisture from the ends. Then, she began to apply the prepared ointment, starting from the scalp and working it into the soft hair bit by bit.

Recalling the memories she had just gained today.

Her fingers moved as if by reflex, and the moment they touched the scalp, they began to move on their own.

Gently stroking, lightly twirling, smearing, and lifting.

Lin Shuang was immersed in this art-like technique.

Meanwhile, Acheron, lying on the sofa, felt a tingling, comfortable sensation flowing from Lin Shuang's fingertips and spreading throughout her body.

The comfortable feeling spread from her scalp all the way to her toes.

Combined with the pleasant scent, Acheron didn't even realize that she had quietly let down her guard.

Lin Shuang's fingers seemed to possess some kind of magic. Even someone with Acheron's incredibly strong will found herself unconsciously closing her eyes and her muscles gradually relaxing as Lin Shuang massaged her.

It was as if her outer shell had been peeled away, revealing a delicate interior.

"Mmm... Ah~"

A soft sound, like a kitten purring in one's heart, escaped Acheron's lips involuntarily.

The rustling of the bathrobe and sofa in the room mingled with the sound of hair brushing against fingertips.

Alluring, melodious, the night was intoxicating, but Acheron was even more so.

Upon hearing this faint sound, Lin Shuang couldn't help but squeeze her legs together.

"So comfortable..."

Acheron, enjoying Lin Shuang's service, praised her, but her voice, upon speaking, sounded more like a maiden in love than a seasoned swordswoman.

Even Acheron herself hadn't expected that, at the very beginning of this, she would already be enjoying Lin Shuang's service.

Acheron was immersed in Lin Shuang's hands, her thoughts seemingly smoothed by them. Unlike the Void, which was shrouded in its own shadows.

This time, her emptied mind allowed Acheron to feel a joy she hadn't experienced in a very, very long time.

Lin Shuang's hands didn't stop, quickly wrapping Acheron's treated hair with a bath towel.

"Acheron... it's time for your body..."

"Mmm..."

A delicate assent rang out. If an outsider were present, it would be hard to believe this was the voice of the renowned Acheron.

Lin Shuang swallowed, looking at Acheron lying on the sofa, who lazily shed her bathrobe.

This unguarded appearance almost made her nosebleed.

The temperature in the room seemed to rise several degrees instantly.

It was so hot that Lin Shuang had to take off her outer layer, leaving only a single shirt on.

Essential oil, carrying Lin Shuang's body heat, dripped onto Acheron's back.

Then, the massage began.
