PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

Looking at the naked woman on the bed, her divine curves and smooth reddened skin covered in a thin layer of sweat, Fei Long could only swallow and continue indulging in pleasure.

Xiauyue felt she was about to reach paradise with each kiss marking her silky skin. For her, Fei Long’s touch was always something that put her at the limit of what her body could take.

In their intimacy, people revealed more than what they hid inside, showing their truest and most passionate selves. Xiauyue and Fei Long were no exception. With silver eyes filled with an obsessive and domineering possession, Fei Long touched the most sensitive corners of her beloved as she constantly asked her the same question. “Who do you belong to?”

Fulfilling the submissive role she always played in her intimacy with Fei Long, Xiauyue played hard to get for a moment before giving up her resistance and complacently responding between moans. “I am yours, absolutely yours.”

Unable to resist Xiauyue’s tearful and pleading gaze any longer, Fei Long stopped teasing her, lovingly kissing her before taking her to the peak of pleasure. Xiauyue felt her soul slip out of her body for a moment, and then everything blurred. Seeing how her beloved literally swooned with delight, Fei Long smiled proudly before collapsing, exhausted and satisfied.

Fei Long was tired, but her eyes never left Xiauyue’s seductive naked body; she simply couldn’t get enough of her beloved. However, her brief rest allowed Fei Long to clear her mind and recall hearing a knock on the door during a passionate moment with Xiauyue.

Rather than feel guilty having someone outside waiting, Fei Long dared to complain. “Who’s the idiot who came here to ruin my fun? Thank god I didn’t even notice, or they might have ruined my moment with Xiauyue.”

On top of that, Fei Long clearly had no intention of rushing to attend to whoever was outside her room. One could only marvel at how she had forgotten entirely about quoting Claire and the girls to the auction. Either that or she had lost track of time and hadn’t realized that the auction was almost starting.

.....

Whatever the case, Fei Long spent at least another five minutes simply caressing the sleeping Xiauyue’s body with lazy affection. Fei Long occasionally kissed her favorite parts, which were everywhere, as she loved every corner of what she held in her arms.

This was perhaps one of how power changed people. In the past, at least when Desmond originally met Fei Long, she was a more lively and friendly girl, someone quite direct and honest in doing things. The natural arrogance and disregard for rules and etiquette might have been there five years ago. Still, it wasn’t as apparent as it is now.

Mei Fei Long had changed, and her personality was now quite similar to the capricious and bossy Kryzsha. Even her love for Xiauyue had changed from a shy childish crush to something deeper, more intense, and passionate.

However, some things will always remain the same no matter how much time passes. The relationship between Xiauyue and Fei Long was still one of love, care, and mutual support. And both girls were still honest, kind, and cheerful with people close to them.

Fei Long certainly wouldn’t have been so indifferent to the people outside her room if she knew it was Claire and the other girls. On the other hand, there was no denying that Fei Long was already quite forgetful and distracted when Desmond met her, especially when Xiauyue was added to the equation.

Eventually, Xiauyue regained consciousness, only to feel that someone was still playing with her breasts. At the same time, she heard a knock at the door. Accustomed to how much Fei Long liked to play with her body, Xiauyue directly filtered that part. “Honey, why don’t you get dressed and answer the door?”

Xiauyue’s lazy and tired attitude did nothing to dampen Fei Long’s passionate gaze, who planted a couple of kisses on the former’s breasts before responding. “Let them wait out there. I don’t want them to interrupt us.”

Although Xiauyue’s exhaustion did not dampen Fei Long’s passion, her next words did. “Fei, you can’t do that. It must be Claire and the other girls. You can’t just ignore them and make them wait. How long have they been out there?”

Unable to remember exactly when she first heard a knock on the door, Fei Long grew uneasy. Fei Long couldn’t understand how the hell she had forgotten something so important. Still, her mind went blank for five seconds as she saw the seductive rear view of Xiauyue, who got up from the bed to get ready.

Coming to her senses as Xiauyue put a light robe over her, Fei Long cursed inwardly. She blamed her beloved for being too alluring, not wanting to accept that she was the one who forgot the whole thing.

A minute later, Claire, Cecilia, Sasha, and Revna watched as the door remained silent until now finally opened. The first thing that entered the girls’ field of vision was Fei Long’s slightly embarrassed and uncomfortable face, and the second was the huge bed in a mess in the corner of the huge room.

Performing a mathematical feat that would have stumped Einstein, Claire and the rest added one plus one, realizing the reason they had to wait for more than an hour outside the gate.

Fei Long felt even more uncomfortable realizing where the girls’ line of sight was going. Before Fei Long finished dying of embarrassment, Xiauyue came out behind her, still clad in the light robe. With an expression of genuine apology, Xiauyue spoke to the girls. “I’m so sorry, Fei, and I completely forgot about time; You know how you can sometimes lose track of time when you’re entertained.”

Although upset, Sasha and Claire had to accept that such a thing had happened to them on more than one occasion when they spent their time intimate with Desmond. On more than one occasion, Claire and Sasha had entirely skipped appointments as they spent the entire night rolling around in bed with Desmond causing them to lose track of time.

While Claire and Sasha understood that, the same couldn’t be said for the two virgins in the group, Revna, and Cecilia. The former priestess and self-proclaimed personal secretary could only stare with annoyance and a well-hidden hint of envy at the duo of Fei Long and Xiauyue. Poor Cecilia probably hadn’t even realized how her mind was beginning to yearn for some degree of intimacy with Desmond.

In the end, Claire and the rest let the matter drop. It wasn’t like they could do anything else since they wouldn’t have been able to enter the auction if they weren’t Fei Long’s guests.

After dressing up as much as possible and moving away from the more private area of the room, the group sat in what seemed like a more comfortable sitting area facing a huge glass panel. Beyond the glass panel, you could see the podium where the display of items would take place, and right next to the main seat of the room was a small device that let sound through to make bids.

Fei Long and Xiauyue covered up their embarrassment from the previous incident by explaining to the girls a few things. The format under which most auctions operate and the kind of goods they could expect to see during the auction.

According to Fei Long and Xiauyue, most auctions follow a fairly standard format of displaying items. The auctions were divided into six sections regardless of practical or other reasons.

The first section of any auction began with displaying medicinal materials and natural cures, a lively section when there were alchemists in the audience. Given the alchemy competition that would take place in a few days, it was expected that this year’s auction would have an extensive collection for this section.

The second section of the auction was for the exhibition of materials for creating weapons, defensive equipment, or artifacts. According to Fei Long, the Eternal War Maiden Sect always made a fortune selling precious metals that were extremely rare in other areas of the continent. However, this was more of a bait to attract potential craftswomen to their lands or form trade alliances.

The third section was the exhibition and auction of medicinal pills and cultivation resources. In this case, most goods came from outside the sect’s territory, and the main buyers were the sect itself. Although it seemed disadvantageous, it was part of some trade agreements the Eternal War Maiden Sect had with some alchemy-related forces.

The fourth section was the auction of defensive and offensive armaments. This auction was one of the biggest attractions because many of the best works of the Eternal War Maiden sect’s artisans and blacksmiths were displayed.

Mei Fei Long had brought a whole damn mountain of riches with her just so she could get her hands on one of the masterpieces of the Eternal War Maiden Sect’s supreme craftsman. Only one of her works is for sale every year.

The craftswoman in question was the current supreme guardian of the Eternal War Maiden Sect, a rank higher than even the sect master. According to Fei Long, the artisan had the predisposition to make complete armor sets instead of creating weapons. Fei Long hoped she could get her hands on one of these sets.

Last but not least were sections five and six of the auctions, the miscellaneous artifacts section, and the heavenly treasures section. Typically these sections were in mixed demand as the various. Artifacts tended to have designs with too specific functions in mind and a similar logic applied to the celestial treasures.

As attractive as the name was, Heavenly Treasures were often objects of a nature difficult to distinguish but were undoubtedly treasures. According to Xiauyue, these treasures emitted strong ripples of high-purity energy. Still, their functions or effects were sometimes too specific or strange.
