### Chapter 47 Progression
After having dinner, Night Star Lan and her friends continued with their daily routine from yesterday.
It was still the familiar post-dinner stroll.
After the stroll was over, it was hot spring time.
This time around, when Night Lan helped Loti Shana take off her clothes, she didn’t resist as much as she did yesterday.
But Loti Shana was still rather shy, naturally not used to others helping her undress; this was only the second time.
“Hmm, you’ve been very well-behaved this time.”
Night Lan looked at Loti Shana satisfactorily with approval for her good behavior.
Loti Shana seemed to dislike being described as “well-behaved,” so she quickly shot back a rebuttal.
“Gurgle, don’t misinterpret me. I just think it’s a bit more convenient if you do it… a noble queen shouldn’t have to do such things herself…”
“Hehehe~ Acting all tough is really cute. And besides, I tried it yesterday, feels very soft, wanna try again tonight?”
At hearing those words, Loti Shana was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say a word.
She’s practically a pervert!
Seeing that Loti Shana couldn’t handle the teasing anymore, Night Lan swiftly pushed her towards the hot springs for some relaxation.
Four little lolis sat by the side, forming a beautiful sight.
Night Lan’s body slackened, unable to resist leaning against Loti Shana, feeling smooth and soft skin, truly quite delightful.
Night Star did the same, directly leaning on Luo Xi, clearly showing an air of despair.
Even though they were in this virtual gaming world, she couldn’t let her intimate bonding with little loli suffer.
They bathed together every day and slept together, sometimes feeling even more relaxed than in the real world.
After all, there were still important matters to deal with in reality, especially dealing with the super big troublemaker, Kuro, who made her unable to fully relax. Sometimes it would be draining.
But it was different here.
There was no need to worry about too many messy things—their job here was to follow a tranquil routine with Luo Xi and wait for the story to unfold.
It was like a small escape from reality, where even Kuro couldn’t bring pressure.
Without the Wish Princess around, Luo Xi provided a sense of security. She was still omnipotent.
Night Star Lan lived quietly in this world for a long time, unconstrained by the time outside and forced to do nothing.
Not bad at all.
Sometimes, Night Star Lan almost suspected that this virtual world was created by Kuro to keep her trapped.
It had somewhat addictive qualities.
Of course, thinking about it, it was impossible.
The real Kuro wouldn’t need such methods to deal with her.
Considering the other guy was incredibly powerful.
Even the Wish Princess, in her normal state, didn’t stand a chance.
If Night Star Lan returned to the real world, she would probably still be worrying about how to handle the big troublemaker, Kuro.
Especially since the outcome seemed hopeless.
Just comparing…
The stress of reality and the leisure here were two completely opposite extremes.
Night Star Lan could only find temporary relaxation in this virtual world.
“Loti Shana, have you thought about the future?”
“Future… I think I will become a great king of a great nation, where at least half the land will belong to me!”
“Pfft—The former emperor died before achieving half his goal.”
Night Lan couldn’t help but laugh.
What huge ambitions.
Even though with the extraordinary star, it might be possible to achieve greatness if they can develop smoothly.
Not only Loti Shana, but other early members also lack the stability to continue developing over a long period.
If the Origin of the Stars becomes uncontrollable, everything will crumble quickly.
Loti Shana could certainly become a great king, but the territory won’t be in reality but in the transformed Star Eclipse Nation.
Night Lan patted Loti Shana’s head.
“Don’t think too deeply, what good is being a great king? Aren’t you still going to be my bed-warmer?”
“Ugh… Didn’t you say we were friends… not a bed-warmer.”
“Yes yes yes, friends that you can ‘sesh’ freely!”
Sigh~
Loti Shana sighed, suddenly becoming worried about her future.
Being stalked by such a strange girl surely messed up any hope of a great kingdom.
Loti Shana curled up, buried half her face in the hot spring, and sulked while blowing bubbles, pondering how to become the most authoritative ruler.
Once they go back, she’ll definitely have to figure out how to eliminate all dangers, like those lucky children with blessings too.
If these guys became a barrier to expanding territory, only defeating them would solve the problem!
Later that night.
It was once again a joyous bedtime.
Night-star Lan lay in bed after washing up.
Luo Xi and Loti Shana went up as well, lying beside Night Star and Night Lan.
As usual, before sleeping, there would be goodnight kisses.
Only Night Lan would come up with such a weird tradition.
Luo Xi wasn’t bothered; she felt learning through kissing was part of understanding humanity’s passionate feelings.
But Loti Shana found it extremely uncomfortable and was quite nervous about the approaching intimacy.
Of course, Night Lan was more focused on Luo Xi at the moment.
“Wanna keep teasing me?” Luo Xi asked calmly.
It was obvious.
She was very interested in last night’s fun and wanted another round tonight.
But Night Lan couldn’t bear it anymore.
Who would put out the fire she started?
Loti Shana…?
She felt a little sorry for her.
“Forget it, let’s calm down today.”
“Okay, so no goodnight kiss?”
“I’ll do it myself.”
Night Lan then gently kissed Luo Xi’s lips without getting too handsy.
On the other side,
Night Lan stared at Loti Shana with a beaming smile.
Compared to Luo Xi’s boldness, facing Loti Shana was less embarrassing.
“Goodnight kisses for today too.”
Gulp~
Loti Shana swallowed hard.
“Can I do it myself?”
“Huh?”
Night Lan tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
“You’re actually using the spell I created to trick me?”
“Am I not allowed to?”
“Sure, whatever. Tonight I’m not up for anything intense anyway. Sparks might fly otherwise.”
Night Lan opened her arms toward Loti Shana.
“Go ahead, I won’t do anything, I just want to see you make the move.”
Grr…
Loti Shana gathered her courage, slowly moved closer to Night Lan, and gave her a tiny peck on the lips, just a fleeting moment.
“Mm.”
Night Lan touched her own lips and glanced at the already lying-down Loti Shana covering her face, unsure how to react.
But anyway,
Since she managed to do something like this on her own, it was definitely a significant step forward.
It likely wouldn’t take longer than a month to leave her mark.
Then, Night Lan brushed off her random thoughts and relaxed in the middle of the bed.
“Whatever, time to sleep.”
