BXBX NOVEL Chapter 470 - Private Beach?
After a long and fun day at the beach, the sun had fallen, and the girls were packing up and getting ready to head home through the portal we had came here from. It was meant to take us back to Fragment, but… I had other plans.
"Wait, you guys," I said as they began heading for the changing rooms. They all turned to me, confused, and tilted their heads.
"Something wrong, Xuan Kai…?" Yu An Yan asked.
"No, there\'s nothing wrong," I replied. "It\'s just… I wanted to show you something. All of you."
The girls exchanged glances, curious to see what I wanted to show them, but I merely smiled mysteriously and winked at them.
"… Follow me."

I led them into the forest by the beachside, where no one could see us.
"Alright… this should do," I muttered under my breath after glancing both ways.
"Um… what did you bring us here for…?" Lan Xiao Su asked hesitantly, frightened by the darkness all around us.
"Oho… could it be, you want to do it with us right here?" Ling Xin asked, a playful smile rising to her lips. "My, my… how perverted, Xuan Kai~"
I rolled my eyes. "Relax. I just came here to avoid any prying eyes and being seen by anyone. Now, get closer to me—as close as possible."
The girls, still confused and curious at the same time, huddled closer to me, pressing their bodies against mine without shame. In their rather revealing bikinis, I might as well have been pressing against their bare skin. The warmth of their bodies engulfed me, but I have been in more than enough similar situations to not even blush. Instead, as calm and composed as ever, I invoked my spell:
Level Three Space Magic — Warp Gate.
Instantly, a white light surrounded us, and the girls shut their eyes tightly as they clung to me in fear.
But… that fear soon turned to surprise and awe as they opened their eyes once more.
"This is…" Yu An Yan murmured, beautiful purple eyes sparkling in wonder.
"Wow. It would\'ve been a real pain if we had changed into our original clothes back there," Lin Luo said, folding her arms (yes, she was still in armor regardless).
"… A private beach, huh?" Ling Xin snickered. "My… now this, I wasn\'t expecting. So this is what you used the money we got in the Death Realm for…"
"W-Wha… a private beach…?!" Feng Mian blinked at me in surprise, eyes widened. "H-How… you were by my side the entire time, and more than that, where did you even get the money to do this?!"
"Lorelei wasn\'t here for a brief period of time this afternoon. She probably did it for him. And as for your second question, well… Xuan Kai\'s rich now," Ling Xin answered for me with a wink. "Probably more so than the Eight Great Families of Fragment combined."
"Hehe, I knew Big Brother Xuan Kai was hiding something from us… so this is it," Qing Yue giggled. "But what gave you the idea to buy a private beach like this?"
"Well, uh… I saw you guys having loads of fun today at the public beach, with the exception of those delinquents who tried to hit on you." I scratched my cheek awkwardly. "So I figured, why not get a private beach? I have far more than enough money to do it. Besides…"
I leaned closer to Feng Mian with a smile, who still had a stunned expression on her face.
"You said the strangers bother you earlier, didn\'t you?"
"A-Ah, that\'s… well, I did, but… I didn\'t think you would actually…"
I silenced her with a sudden kiss, ever so slightly brushing my lips against hers. It wasn\'t much, but it was enough to convey my message. Slowly, I backed away, and turned to the other girls.
"Think of this as a gift for everything you\'ve all done for me up until now," I said. "It\'s really nothing compared to the sacrifices you\'ve made and the time you\'ve spent, but it\'s the least I can do."
"Woah… there\'s even an eternal hot spring here?!" Qing yue exclaimed, peering into the distance with the enhanced eyesight she gave herself. "And a luxury seafood diner, a noodles place, a water park, arcade… and even a manga cafe! This place has everything, and it\'s all automated by a mixture of robots and magic, from cooking to cleaning!"
"Amazing… darling is the best~!" Axilia exclaimed, planting a kiss on my cheek and latching onto my neck.
"Just when I was feeling annoyed about the beach closing so early, too…" Flaria muttered. "Nice one, master. You went up by about 0.5 in my heart for a rating of 6.5. Mainly because while I do hate water, the heat of the beach is comfortable."
"And the total is…?" I prompted.
"10,000."
"Shouldn\'t have asked…"
Yu An Xue, seeing this exchanged, giggled slightly and rubbed Flaria on the head. Flaria smiled and let her do whatever she wanted. It was clear the two have gotten close.
"… May I ask, how long did it take you to find a place such as this?" Obsidia asked as the other girls rushed away to explore the full extents of the beach.
Such a polite tone… she\'s probably entranced by this as well, heh.
"Well, it really didn\'t take as long as you might think," I replied. "I just told Lorelei to go around asking for the best private beach there was, and that she was willing to pay any amount for it. As you can probably expect, a place of this quality came up in no time."
"I see… but are you not getting overcharged, in that case?"
"Actually, quite the opposite," I replied. "You see, I sent Lorelei in particular for this task and not Mei Gui or Flaria because she has the best deadpan, poker face. When she says \'I will pay as much as you want\' in that calm, cold tone of hers, anyone would be scared of her background. To possess such confidence and money would mean she was from a powerful family, and if the seller was caught overcharging, their business would be over."
"Huh… you\'ve really planned all of this out," Lin Luo said, still not joining the other girls like the stubborn angel she was.
"Indeed… but would you care to join the other girls? They\'re all having fun down there, y\'know," I said, then shot a sideways glance at Feng Mian. "Besides… the two of us would like to be alone for a while."
Lin Luo eyed me, then Feng Mian, then me again, and ultimately sighed.
"… I get it. I will head to the hot spring, then."
As she left together with Obsidia, the only ones who have yet to take a step since coming here were Zhao Xiuying, Feng Mian, and I. I raised my eyebrow at the third wheel, who blinked at me blankly as she always did.
"So, uh…"
"Now, now, come with me, Xiuying!" Qing Yue hollered, casually skipping up next to her and pulling her by the arm. "Want to go eat at the noodles place together? Let\'s witness the cooking skills of a robot!"
Zhao Xiuying didn\'t have a chance to protest as she was dragged away, and Qing Yue shot me a meaningful wink before disappearing from sight. I smirked, grateful for this amazing-in-all-regards little sister of mine.
At last, it was only Feng Mian and I left. She has been strangely quiet during this entire conversation, so I decided to take the initiative.
"What\'s wrong? Are you charmed by this gift of mine, perhaps?"
"I-Idiot, you know full well I\'m already deep in love with you," Feng Mian said, blushing deeply and slapping me lightly on the shoulder. "It\'s just… how do I put it… you\'ve changed, Xuan Kai."
"Oh…?"
"When we first met, you never would\'ve been this considerate to anyone, even those close to you," she said. "But now… you\'re not that rough around the edges anymore. You\'ve grown more compassionate. And I like that."
She smiled at me happily, the lunar moonlight reflecting off of her pale skin like water. Her body, made of perfect curves and alluring features, shone as if beckoning me closer, radiating an erotic aroma that functioned like an aphrodisiac. Perhaps her succubus powers have become more dominant recently as I\'ve begun having sex with her more and more, but right now, I didn\'t have time to think about all that.
All I knew in the moment was one thing:
"Feng Mian… you\'re beautiful."
"E-Eh?"
Before she knew it, I had my arms around her and my tongue inside her mouth, causing her eyes to widen a bit. However, she didn\'t resist, and instead pulled me closer, savoring my taste and the warmth of my body.
After a few seconds, I backed away, and smiled like a devil.
"You know… I can still be rough where it counts."
"Oh…?" Her eyes shone a glittering purple as she stared into mine, and the purple horns on her head and wings that sprouted from her back signaled that her succubus side had taken over, and she traced her hand down my chest. "Then… show me."
