Honkai: Star Rail, Marry Acheron First Upon Landing

Her nimble hands brought increasingly intense sensations.

Acheron felt as if she were riding a colossal, swaying wave, waves of blissful pleasure washing over her, one after another.

Each wave followed the last, giving Acheron no chance to catch her breath, nor to escape.

The gentle pleasure made Acheron sink into it. Coupled with her trust in Lin Shuang, and the wonderful feelings she hadn't experienced in countless years.

Acheron let her guard down completely, falling into Lin Shuang's hands.

Indescribable sensations spread from where her hands touched, permeating her entire body.

Her relaxed muscles moved rhythmically, her crystal-clear toes curling and uncurling.

Her body occasionally twitched and trembled with the massage.

But accompanying this brief loss of control was an unparalleled sense of comfort.

It felt as if the stress and gloom that had accumulated in her heart were being expelled from her body with each unnatural twitch.

Acheron felt as if she were floating towards the clouds, drifting through the gentle dawn on the wind.

Acheron no longer suppressed her voice.

Her cries, rising and falling like a lark's song, small yet clear, echoed in the intimate room.

Lin Shuang's face flushed even deeper, yet she couldn't stop. She watched Acheron's skin gradually flush with a rosy hue.

She had miscalculated...

Seeing Acheron's intense reaction, she realized this thing was definitely not some proper technique!

Wasn't what she saw in her mind just a normal massage??

Why could it elicit such an exaggerated reaction from Acheron, someone who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts?

Under Lin Shuang's professional massage, Acheron's body began to sweat, the rich yet not greasy scent of the ointment filling the air between them.

Under the room's lamplight, Acheron's fair skin was luminous, like a work of art.

From her upper body to her legs, and then to her perfectly tender feet.

Lin Shuang endured, until everything was finally done.

Acheron even fell asleep on the sofa from Lin Shuang's massage.

Lin Shuang quickly pulled a bathrobe over Acheron, then, legs clamped together, she darted into the bathroom.

Volume 1: Chapter 25 Good Night, Sweet Dreams

Acheron slept soundly, a rare occurrence.

She usually needed little sleep and would go long periods without falling asleep.

After all, whenever she slept, she would dream of unpleasant things, which kept her from resting peacefully.

This time, however.

Acheron still dreamed after falling asleep.

But this dream was different.

Vague memories from the past surged like an abyssal tide, tinged with a deep crimson.

Just as Acheron was about to be submerged, a girl with white hair wreathed in flames descended like sunlight breaking through dark clouds.

The bright flames were warm, scorching, and filled Acheron's entire vision.

They obscured the dark tide, making it impossible for Acheron to see clearly.

Only the girl within the flames smiled peacefully, extending her left hand towards Acheron.

Acheron instinctively reached out.

The moment their hands met, the rings they wore glowed in the flames.

Then, the flames turned to ruins, yet the ruins were bathed in sunlight, and even the roars of monsters no longer felt unpleasant.

Acheron recognized the place – it was where she had first met Lin Shuang.

Her memories surfaced clearly, and she realized she hadn't lost any memories during this time.

Her impression of her first meeting with Lin Shuang remained as clear and transparent as crystal.

After lingering in the bathroom for over two hours, Lin Shuang emerged, feeling refreshed.

Also clad in a bathrobe, Lin Shuang used her palms to generate heat to dry her long hair, then tilted her head as she approached Acheron.

She looked down.

Acheron's sleeping face was peaceful.

Lin Shuang crouched down, gathering her robe, and looked at Acheron's calm expression.

Her hair hadn't turned white unconsciously, her state was very stable.

"Sleep well."

With that said, she raised her hand and gently untied the bath towel wrapped around her hair.

Her long hair cascaded down, and then Lin Shuang meticulously combed it with both hands, tying it into a simple low ponytail after drying it.

During this time, Acheron showed no signs of waking up, sleeping as if she had truly let down her guard.

Seeing that her long hair was neatly done, Acheron was still fast asleep.

Helpless, Lin Shuang carefully reached around Acheron's back and knees, gently lifting her soft body.

The bathrobe draped over them fell with gravity, outlining Acheron's figure.

And beneath the bathrobe, Lin Shuang's hands were pressed directly against Acheron's warm skin.

Even though she had touched her all over not long ago, doing so again at this moment still made Lin Shuang's heart flutter.

Perhaps it was Lin Shuang's body heat that made Acheron stir.

As she moved towards the bed, Acheron's head tilted slightly, leaning against Lin Shuang's chest.

The clothing on Lin Shuang's chest wasn't tightly fastened to begin with, and as Acheron leaned in, her warm breath almost breached the defenses.

This made Lin Shuang's mind race, unable to find peace.

Lin Shuang moved with great speed, quickly entering the room and placing Acheron on the soft mattress, covering her with the blanket.

She then tidied up Acheron's freshly washed and dried clothes and long sword, placing them by the pillow.

"Goodnight."

Looking at Acheron, who was sleeping soundly, Lin Shuang, with a blush on her face, closed the door and returned to the living room.

After some thought, Lin Shuang picked up the fruit platter from the coffee table, returned to the room, and gently placed it on Acheron's bedside table.

This way, she could eat them directly when she woke up.

Then, returning to the living room again, Lin Shuang, on the principle of not wasting, utilized the remaining unused potions and essential oils.

After performing some maintenance and care on herself, she finally went to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

Acheron was awakened by the sunlight filtering through the window.

Slowly opening her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling and became aware of her current state.

Propping herself up with her arms, she sat up in bed, and the blanket slid down with the movement, revealing Acheron's graceful figure.

"When... when did I fall asleep?"

Acheron sat up straight and turned her head to look out the window. If she remembered correctly, it was already late at night when they returned from shopping with Lin Shuang.

After she had washed up, Lin Shuang had said she wanted to give her some care and maintenance, and then gave her a massage...

And her memory cut off after that.

Just before her memory faded, Acheron recalled how easily she had let down her guard and relaxed her body under Lin Shuang's massage.

She had allowed her muscles to obey Lin Shuang's movements, to be manipulated at will.

Moreover...

She seemed to have been rather out of sorts.

Recalling her reactions under Lin Shuang's hands last night, she had been in a daze then, immersed in the moment.

Now that she was awake, Acheron found it difficult to bear.

She had never exposed such an uninhibited side of herself to anyone before.

Yet, last night, she had maintained it for so long under Lin Shuang's touch, and Acheron could even remember how she had felt unable to stop herself at the time.

The thought of last night's scene sent Acheron's thoughts into a jumble, her mind a mess.

Her past experiences allowed her to easily resolve crises and difficulties, but when it came to such personal matters, she was momentarily stumped.

After all, in Acheron's limited memories, there was nothing to tell her how to deal with such complex emotions.

Unfamiliar emotions surged within her chest, strange, yet also intoxicating to Acheron.

Rich emotions had also been alien to her for a long time, but now.

It seemed that because of Lin Shuang, things had become a little different.

"And... my body feels so light. Have I ever been this relaxed before?"

Despite her lapse in composure, Acheron could clearly feel the relaxation throughout her body.

It was as if a tightly wound string had finally been loosened, relieving the tension and preventing it from snapping.

For Acheron, it was almost an unprecedented sense of ease.

After all, ever since she had emerged from the shadow of The Nihility, Acheron had been living in a somewhat dazed state.

Relaxed, clear-headed, her state was better than ever.

Acheron closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gently rubbed the ring on her left ring finger.

"I didn't expect Lin Shuang to have this kind of skill..."

She opened her eyes again.

The washed and folded clothes were placed by her pillow, along with the long sword she almost never took off.

Her fingers gently brushed over the clothes, and Acheron's gaze fell upon the fruit platter on the nearby cabinet.

She knew Lin Shuang must have done all this while she was asleep.

Without rushing to put on her clothes or immediately gripping her sword hilt, Acheron propped herself up with her hands and, accompanied by the rustling sound of her body against the bedding, sat up on the edge of the bed.

The first thing she reached for was the fruit Lin Shuang had given her yesterday.

It was still as sweet and delicious as before.

Crunch, crunch.

In the quiet room, only these faint sounds echoed.

"It's as sweet as yesterday."

Acheron couldn't help but sigh.

Volume 1: Chapter 26 Tingyun: Would you like to let our benefactor touch my tail?

Meanwhile.

Lin Shuang had woken up a little earlier than Acheron.

As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw a message from Tingyun.

Tingyun said that if she had time, she wanted Lin Shuang to come over to meet the leaders of the Celestial Ship Division.
