Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

The banquet ended late at night.

The girls dispersed in twos and threes; some went to clear the table and dishes, while others leaned against the window and talked.

Luna and several maids cleared away the plates, while Claire was still gnawing on the last piece of lamb bone.

"Master~ The room is all tidied up." Luna walked to Lin Yu's side, carrying an empty tray in her hand:

"Miss Mia's room is on the second floor, east side. Miss Papi's is next door. Miss Treya's room is on the first floor. It's not easy for her to go up and down the stairs because of her size."

Lin Yu nodded: "I'll take them there."

Mia was first led to the door of the room.

She pushed open the door, glanced inside, turned back to look at Lin Yu, and gently tapped the floor with the tip of her tail: "Goodnight, Mr. Lin Yu~"

Her voice carried a hint of laughter, with a slight upward inflection at the end, but she didn't say anything more before turning and walking into the room.

The door closed behind her with a very soft sound.

Papi stood at the door next door. She didn't rush in, but stood by the door frame, twisting her fingers on the hem of her skirt.

"Mr. Lin Yu..." Her voice was a little soft, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to start.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked, looking at her.

Papi's lips moved slightly, then she pursed them again.

She lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "No, it's nothing... Goodnight."

With that, Papiyas pushed open the door and slipped inside.

The door closed behind Papiyas with a very soft sound.

Her back was still pressed against the door panel, her hand still on the doorknob, and it took several seconds before she slowly lowered it.

At this moment, Papiyas's face was burning hot, and his body was also very hot; it was a feeling he had never experienced before.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek. When the coolness of her fingertips touched her cheek, she flinched slightly and then lowered her hand.

There were no lights on in the room.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a thin, silvery-white line across the floor.

Papi leaned against the door without moving, staring at the moonlight, her mind filled with Lin Yu's face.

When Lin Yu stood on the wooden platform, light spilled from between his fingers. He bowed to the audience and said, "This is dedicated to all the beautiful ladies."

Papbi always thought of herself as someone who just stood in the corner watching others shine.

She thought that kind of light would never fall on her.

"So...there are people who perform for me after all. Mr. Lin Yu was looking at me when he said that~"

As she spoke, Papiyas gripped the hem of her skirt with her fingers.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but her heart was beating incredibly fast, and she gradually understood what it meant to like someone.

It turns out that liking someone means that when you think of that person, your heart races and your mind goes blank.

But just then, Papi suddenly felt a heat in her stomach.

Her body stiffened, and she looked down at her lower abdomen, feeling the changes happening there through the fabric of her skirt.

She knew exactly what it was.

Papi's breathing became shallow, her lips tightened, and she slowly squatted down, her knees touching the floor and her hands supporting her weight on the ground.

It didn't come quickly, but it was clear enough.

Something warm slid out of her body and landed on the floor, covered with a thin layer of warm luster, shimmering with a pale pink light in the moonlight.

It was an egg, and it was unfertilized.

Papi stared at the egg for several seconds before reaching out and gently touching it with her fingertips.

The egg's surface was warm and smooth, carrying its own body temperature.

She picked it up, cupped it in both hands, and the egg lay quietly in her palms, reflecting the moonlight.

She could feel the weight of the egg; it wasn't heavy, but it felt like it contained something she couldn't quite put her finger on.

This is the first time she has laid an egg since she became an adult.

The elders of the tribe have said that a bird-woman's first egg must be given to her beloved. It is the oldest custom of the bird-woman tribe, signifying entrusting herself to that person.

Papi squatted on the ground, holding the egg and looking at it for a long time. The moonlight stretched the shadow of her eyelashes very long.

She lowered her head and brought her face close to the eggshell, touched it with her lips, and then pulled back.

She then stood up, walked to the bedside, gently placed the egg on the pillow, and then picked it up and put it back in her hand.

Upon seeing the egg, the only person Papi could think of was Lin Yu.

But she didn't know how to give it to him.

Wouldn't it be too sudden to give it to them directly?

But what should we do with the egg if we don't give it to them?

Papi really wanted Lin Yu to know that this was her first egg and that it had special significance.

Perhaps this way Lin Yu will feel her sincerity.

Papiyas sat on the edge of the bed, holding the egg, moonlight streaming in through the window and falling on her knees.

She lowered her head, her toes lightly rubbing against the floor, and after a long time, she put the egg back on the pillow, then carefully pulled a corner of the blanket over it.

"I'll wait until tomorrow," she thought.

But then Papiya remembered that Mia had said she and Lin Yu had slept together.

Papiyas had mixed feelings. Although she didn't dislike the matter, she felt inexplicably disappointed.

This is a feeling she doesn't understand, so she really wants to find Lin Yu to talk to her. She's thinking about it now, and she'll think about it tonight.

In the end, Papiyas got out of bed and tried to cheer herself up.

.......

On the other side, Lin Yu stood in the corridor for two seconds, then turned around and went down the stairs.

Treya's room was at the end of the corridor on the first floor. The door was open, and warm yellow candlelight shone from inside.

She was standing by the window, her back to the door, her golden braids hanging down her back.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Mr. Lin Yu, aren't you resting so late?"

Lin Yu went inside and closed the door behind him.

The door lock clicked slightly, and Treya's ears twitched, but she didn't turn around.

Her nape glowed faintly in the candlelight, while the horse's mane shimmered with a delicate, silky sheen in the darkness.

"Miss Teresa must be tired after performing for several hours, right?" Lin Yu walked up behind her, his voice neither loud nor soft.

Treya turned around, leaning against the edge of the windowsill, her hands resting on the wooden frame on either side.

Her face was half-lit and half-shadowed by the candlelight, and her lips parted slightly: "Tired, but I don't want to sleep yet."

Theresa's voice was lower than usual, with a softness rarely seen in her.

Lin Yu didn't answer, but reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her forward half a step.

Treya moved away from the windowsill and pressed her chest against his.

Her breath hitched, and her hand slid down his shoulder to clutch the fabric of his shirt at his waist.

Lin Yu lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

Theresa did not resist; she had already prepared herself mentally and awkwardly responded to Lin Yu's kiss.

Lin Yu's hand slid down her waist, his fingers hooking the hem of her shirt, the fabric being pulled out from the belt and pushed up along her waistline.

Treya's skin was very hot, and when I placed my palm on it, I could feel the rise and fall of her breath.

"Is Miss Theresa Chu?" Lin Yu asked, his lips close to her ear.

Theresa's breath hitched; she turned her head away, her voice muffled in her throat:

"...Yes, yes, I haven't had any contact with other males. I've always felt that this kind of thing should be done with someone you like."

"And now?"

Theresa did not answer, but she took a half step back, shifting her weight from the windowsill onto him.

Lin Yu's hand slid down her waist, following the skin of her horse's body.

2 hours later——

Both of Teresa's horses were filled with Lin Yu's love.

The warmth of tonight flows across the ground along with the silvery fragments of moonlight.

At this moment, Treya was leaning against the windowsill, her four hooves trembling slightly, and she was only able to stay steady by Lin Yu supporting her waist.

She leaned against the windowsill, catching her breath for a while, before Lin Yu let go of her and took a half-step back.

Theresa turned her head to look at Lin Yu, her voice hoarse:

"...Mr. Lin Yu is amazing~..."

Lin Yu smiled, helped her pull up her shirt, and straightened her belt.

Treya did not dodge his hand, and only straightened up after he finished tidying her up.

"Get some rest, see you tomorrow," Lin Yu said calmly.

As she pushed open the door to leave, Theresa's voice followed her from behind, low and hoarse: "...Goodnight~"
