Case 53: Summer.
Case 53: Summer.
chirrr—! chirrr—! chirrr—!
chirrr—! chirrr—! chirrr—!
''Mhm...''
Silently having a mental battle with the sun while refilling her energy by passionately licking a popsicle, Kierra swayed her legs back and forth, her head bobbing slightly, leaving the silky hair dangling behind.
Amidst the cicadas' chirps, the archwizard could see in the corners of her eyes the pitiful people who had to fight the melting heat of summer on the streets.
Today, the sun was exceptionally cruel.
Truthfully, if one's skin were to be exposed to this type of sunlight for long, it would take irreparable damage.
But who was Kierra? Right, the strongest human to ever exist. A Sun or two, she could easily send it to oblivion!
So, to go along with the flow, she chose to 'modify' her outfit a bit. The robe she used to wear all the time was more than appropriate enough in the sense that it hid basically all her skin while also preventing others from analyzing her curves.
To appear that she felt hot even if she had temperature control magic on all the time, Kierra willingly loosened the lower part of her outfit, releasing her immaculate feet and even letting her godly thighs run wild.
If one had eyes, they could actually catch a glimpse of her dangerous area!—or so it has been rumored.
For the top, Kierra also didn't cut any corners. Well, technically, she did. The previously covered chest now had an obscene cut, displaying a mesmerizing cleavage to the world.
All in all, this was a destructive combo that could annihilate any person, male or female.
In reality, one such person had just been defeated this way.
''K-Kierra...''
From behind, Tian Yun tapped Kierra's shoulder lightly, prompting the archwizard to turn around.
''Hm? Why are you like this?''
Kierra tilted her head lightly, wondering why Tian Yun was holding her nose with a bloody hand. Did she have a nosebleed?
''It's because of you, dummy...'' Tian Yun shook her head and quickly cleaned up the mess, even turning away to avoid 'bursting' again. ''In the first place, why are you sitting on my room's window...?''
''It has a good view,'' Kierra replied simply, extending the popsicle toward the woman's mouth.
''Ah, thanks...''
''You can have it.''
''Mhm?!''
Only after sucking on it for a while did Tian Yun realize that this thing was half-eaten! Suddenly, the melon-favored popsicle seemed much sweeter!
Watching Tian Yun savoring the popsicle while having her cheeks slightly inflated like a small animal, Kierra couldn't help but giggle. Recently, she felt like her charm level had been getting really good!
Maybe in a year or two, she could have a harem of beautiful women here. Thinking back, she hadn't tried bonding with multiple partners at once before, even if she had done some 3Ps. Perhaps by that time, she would be open to being in a relationship again.
''What about the others?'' She asked.
''Training, as usual.'' Tian Yun shrugged. ''And for the lower disciples...''
''I can see them.''
Kierra had complete control of the Crimson Tower, which meant she could observe the disciples training anytime. Lately, both the new ones from Emei and Shaolin performed quite well.
Still, they couldn't compete with the likes of White Lotus's and Lightning Tiger's since they had more time under her belt.
'Nine months, was it?'
It had been nine months since Kierra had entered this world. For what she thought would be momentary fun, the Central Divine Realm had actually grown on her quite a lot.
Sure, the phenomena happening here were nonsensical, and the people sometimes could be a pain to deal with, but ultimately, it was eventfully fun in this land.
Moreover, Kierra herself got a power boost!
After cultivating for nine months, she skyrocketed to the peak of the Core Formation Stage, making her a decent cultivator, fair and square. In addition, she had been learning the sword from Yu Chen, Mie Xieren, and the old swordsman's spirit, so she could now make a few simple moves.
She wasn't talented in wielding a sword, but it was fun nonetheless.
If Kierra had only one thing to complain about...
''...Tch.''
Why isn't the other side attacking?!
For so long, Kierra had been waiting for the unorthodox folks to make a move, yet there had been nothing but an annoying silence. She even went as far as to drop a few more spells that way, yet they still didn't respond.
What a drag.
At this point, she was seriously considering attacking first.
''...''
Well, maybe not now. She was still reluctant to meet that person.
A bit frustrated all of a sudden, Kierra decided to release some steam, and what better way to do it than having some fun with a beautiful woman?
''Yun.'' She called teasingly.
Suddenly hearing a strange nickname, Tian Yun was confused. ''H-Hm??''
''My mood has dropped.''
''Um... what can I do for you...?''
At this, Kierra gently tapped her lips with a seductive smile, prompting Tian Yun to have a realization. Heat rushed to her face like a tsunami, blanketing even her ears with an adorable pink.
''N-Now?'' She asked with a muffled voice.
''Yes.''
''Ughn...''
After squealing around for a while, Tian Yun eventually mustered the courage to perform the act. She shakily put her hands on the window frame and leaned in, eyes shut closed.
Kierra thought this was cute. She wrapped her arm around the other person's waist, supporting her and leaning into the kiss herself.
The moment their lips were pressed onto each other, time seemed to have stopped. A melting sensation spread across the two's bodies as they enjoyed the kiss to the fullest. Yet, this was nowhere enough for Kierra.
''Hah... hah...''
Afterward, it was Tian Yun who nearly fainted after a three-minute tongue showdown with the archwizard.
''Thank you, Yun,'' Kierra said, licking her lips.
''Okay...''
Kierra was very satisfied with the current developments. Although no one except Yu Chen directly expressed admiration for her, she knew that they were interested in her in one way or another.
Casual kisses like this were now the norm, and Kierra reckoned she would go further the moment they felt comfortable with it. Of course, the outlier, Yu Chen, was beyond thirsty at this moment, yet she still had the deal to accomplish.
'Well, it is what it is.'
Just like that, while awaiting good news from Yu Chen, who had turned herself into a cavewoman who only knew to train, Kierra leisurely spent a few days idling about.
A certain summer night.
Kierra was lying on top of the Crimson Tower, gazing at the stars alone while enjoying the cool breeze passing through. By this time, the cicadas' sounds had mostly died down, creating an excellent environment to relax.
As the archwizard was immersed in the painting-like sky, someone's head suddenly poked into her vision.
''Kierra, it's bad!''
It was, once again, Tian Yun.
''What happened?'' Kierra replied nonchalantly, refusing to move from the spot.
''The unorthodox sects have moved!''
In an instant, a beautiful yet deadly smile bloomed on Kierra's face, causing Tian Yun to shudder involuntarily.
