(MC POV)
As planned, I went back home after that and Long Er said that she would like to stay behind instead of following us. The girl seemed to be quite attached to her family despite them mistreating her for some reason, or I guess she just doesn't like change in general?
Nevertheless, I did not push her and left after that.
I was expecting a normal night of cuddling with Cai Hong and Iris but I got a surprise visit from my disciples.
Well… I use the term 'visit' lightly since Manami and Kiyomi practically snatched me up and rushed me into my room before I could even ask them what was going on.
I guess I shouldn't be so surprised since they were still in their mating season after all. I'm actually more surprised that they took this long to come back to find me considering Akari already went several rounds with me in the meantime…
And as though that wasn't enough, the other girls also came in right as Manami was straddling me while I laid my head on Kiyomi's lap, all of them also demanding for some attention.
That just devolved into an entire orgy inside my room which I guess just meant it was any other night to be honest… Though Manami and Kiyomi lasted way longer than they usually would and were much more needy as compared to usual.
I had to be wrapped up in their fluff for the entire night while making love to them before they finally collapsed alongside the other girls.
With the girls sated for now, I went ahead to call it a night and slept while surrounded by my girls.
Morning came and I woke to see Lian Li in the midst of dressing herself, my golden haired disciple looking especially divine while she slipped into her robes.
Noticing that I was awake, she giggled softly at me, "Good morning Master~ Thank you for loving us as always~"
"Umu~ Sometimes I feel like I'm the one receiving most of the love."
"Ehehe~ How could that be, Master? We all know your love for all of us is infinite~ That's why we strive to return the same amount to you as well~"
"Well… It's not meant to be a competition anyway…" I muttered, climbing out of bed.
It was a little difficult to do that considering several fluffy tails were still wrapped around me but I managed to untangle myself from the still asleep Manami and Kiyomi without waking them up.
Reaching out a hand to my clothes, they quickly flowed towards me before dressing me up, courtesy of Xun Guan. To Lian Li, she should think that this was caused by my will and not because my clothes was a slime girl.
"Walk with me?" I asked her while getting up from the bed.
Lian Li nodded enthusiastically, following a step behind me outside the room.
I noticed that Iris was also following behind us but she kept her presence concealed so I didn't say anything about it.
"How is the training going with Lilith and Muon?" I asked.
"Mmm… I can't deny the effectiveness of her methods but… I believe I speak for everyone when I say that we still prefer learning under Master."
"Hmm~ It's good to expand your horizons too. You can't stay with me forever."
"Eh? But that's what we want to do, Master… Do you not want us to stay by your side forever?"
I half turned to face her while continuing our walk through my courtyard, "Not that I mind, but don't some of you have aspirations of exploring the universe?"
"Eh? We do, but that's exploring it with you, Master. I don't think any of us would want to explore it by ourselves. If Master wasn't there, it would be pointless…"
Hmm… Well I did promise them that I'll bring them out on a date if they were to do well in the battle royale anyway so I guess I could bring them exploring too. That is unless they have a specific place they want to go, of course.
We ended up walking past the Qilin that was curled up in front of my disciple's sleeping quarters, where only Cai Hong and Brendan were inside at the moment.
"Eh? When did Master get a beast like this?"
I sighed, "Long story, really… I guess it found me and then it took me to another World by jumping into a pond and… Here we are."
Lian Li didn't even show any signs that whatever I just said was weird and merely giggled, "Ehehe~ I think a certain phoenix might be upset to learn about this one's presence here."
Ah… That's right. Feng Jie got assigned to watch over the branch Sect instead of staying here.
Although… She's more interested in my female form than my male form anyway so she's still easy to deal with, at least when compared to a certain undead fox I could also name…
Why do I run into so many weirdos?
I guess I should just take comfort that my disciples are normal and also really cute.
So far, the Qilin hasn't tried to bring me elsewhere but I'm still thinking whether I should tell Diao Chan about this unexpected creation of hers.
Something tells me I would regret it if I did so let's just keep it a secret for now…
Lian Li suddenly spoke up while I was lost in thought, "Umm… Master? I think this might be quite unlikely but… Did you run into more girls while we were away?"
"Hmm? I suppose I did run into a few goddesses in this World that the Qilin brought me to. Why?"
"Did… Did they sleep with you?"
"Ah… They did."
"I see… Ehehe~ Could I know which World it is?"
I stopped and turned back to raise an eyebrow at her, "Hmm? Why? Do you want to meet them as well?"
"Well… I just thought that it might be nice to exchange pointers… You know? Especially since we are new Goddesses ourselves, it might be nice to have some seniors we can… Learn from~"
"Err… I would actually prefer that you don't talk to those goddesses… They're an odd bunch even if I do say so myself…"
Like really… I can't see them being anything but a bad influence on my girls.
Lian Li poked her fingers together shyly, "Umm… I think we'll be alright, Master. We've already met several other Goddesses ourselves. We're just trying to get different opinions…"
Unexpectedly, Iris revealed herself and smiled at Lian Li, "I'll show you the World after we are done with it~ Would that be ok with you?"
"Oh! That would help a lot! Thank you~"
"Ufufufu~ No need for thanks~ After all, this is all for Master isn't it?"
"Ehehehe~ That's right!"
I looked at the two girls that were giggling away like they were sharing some kind of private joke.
Huh… Correct me if I'm wrong but… Since when did Lian Li and Iris become so buddy-like?
Oh whatever, I suppose it's definitely better than the two of them being at each other's throats.
As for me… I suppose I should go back and find those resistance gods and see what they are trying to do in that World.
