The next day, Stelle woke up surrounded by a bevy of beauties.
Rather than surrounded, it was more like enveloped, because when he first woke up, he felt his cheek resting on someone's soft flesh, he didn't know whose.
Besides that, someone seemed to be hugging him from behind.
"Mmm…" Stelle squinted his eyes, feeling nothing but fragrance in his nose.
He even wanted to open his mouth and take a bite.
Stelle's thought had barely surfaced before he put it into action. Of course, he didn't really bite hard, just gently nibbled.
"Stop messing around." A clear, cold voice came, along with a physical restraint, and Stelle was instantly unable to move.
So it was Shenhe… Thinking about it, it made sense. How could anyone else be of this scale?
And Shenhe was the one who fought with him until the very end last night; he should indeed be the closest to him.
Stelle slowly released his mouth and looked up at Shenhe.
"You didn't sleep?" Stelle couldn't help but ask.
Yesterday, they had practically forgotten the time. In fact, inside the Serenitea Pot, there wasn't much concept of time.
But it was true that they had fought until very, very late.
"No." Shenhe shook his head.
After this night, his cultivation was almost uncontrollable, leaving him with no desire to sleep and no feeling of fatigue.
He probably wouldn't be able to go anywhere else today; he would need a full day to slowly digest it.
It was also fortunate that Wanmin Restaurant was closed for the day, so he didn't need to ask for leave.
"Now… it should be daylight outside, right?" Stelle said uncertainly, as he slowly sat up.
Hu Tao, the one hugging her from behind, Star remembered she should have been the first one out, but then she somehow latched on again. She was truly both bad at it and loved to play.
Besides, many people lay sprawled around her, clearly exhausted.
Star shook her head, trying to shift her attention away from the beautiful, unclad women before her.
After that night, the fire in her heart hadn't really subsided much; it was merely temporarily suppressed.
It seemed that, just as she had guessed, playing with familiar people could only offer temporary relief. To completely dispel the drug's effects, she had to find someone new.
The problem was, where could she find someone new in such a short time? Star slowly sighed.
However, while she could still suppress it, it was better to get up early and leave, or else she might end up bothering them again later.
They were all exhausted after that night, so it was best to let them rest.
Star carefully got out of bed, making sure to adjust everyone's positions.
Seeing this, Shenhe naturally had no intention of staying in bed and also got up.
"Hmm? Aren't you going to put on clothes?" Star looked at Shenhe with some confusion.
Of course, she hadn't had time to put on hers either, but Shenhe was already out of bed, and her first action wasn't to look for clothes, which made Star feel a little nervous.
Could it be that Shenhe, having lost last night, was unwilling to concede and planned another round this morning?
If so, Star would have to consider it carefully, as Shenhe was a formidable opponent, and a slight misstep could lead to an unexpected defeat.
"Aren't all the clothes outside?" Shenhe tilted her head in confusion.
"Ah! Right, right…" Only then did Star remember that she had pulled them all into the Serenitea Pot directly from the bathroom yesterday, without giving them time to put on clothes.
The main reason was that there was no need; they were going to get down to business immediately after entering the Serenitea Pot, so putting on and taking off clothes again would be too troublesome.
She hadn't expected that when they woke up the next morning, there would be no clothes for them to wear inside the Serenitea Pot's house.
"…Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now. I'll go get the clothes later." Star sighed.
Anyway, it wasn't cold or hot in here, and everyone else was sound asleep, so it didn't matter.
"Mm."
A moment later, the two walked out of the room and into a living room.
"It's only this early??" Star looked up at the clock in the living room and said with a slight surprise.
In reality, she had only slept for a short hour.
It wasn't even six in the morning yet.
However, despite sleeping little, she didn't feel tired at all; instead, she felt a bit excited.
Sigh, it seems the drug's effects are still potent…
"Shenhe, you should find a room and rest well today. I'll go out first to get the clothes and buy some breakfast." Star stretched, then said to Shenhe.
"Mm." Shenhe nodded, not insisting on going together, as she needed to quickly digest and absorb her rapidly increasing cultivation.
It wasn't good to go out casually; it was better to wait until she was a bit more stable.
Star's figure flickered, and she instantly vanished from Shenhe's sight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When she reappeared, Star was still in the bathroom of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
After all, they had entered the Serenitea Pot from here last night, so naturally, they would exit at the same location.
Star looked around and suddenly realized something very bad.
She had pulled them all into the Serenitea Pot yesterday without a second thought, and she hadn't remembered anything about what was happening outside.
Star looked down at the tub; the water was already completely cold and a bit murky.
Clearly, this was also Star's masterpiece from yesterday.
"Sigh, I still need to clean this up thoroughly." Star covered her forehead and said helplessly.
Fortunately, most of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's employees were on vacation, leaving only one Maid, the one whose true name was not worth mentioning.
Her duty was to be the Baiduren, to guard the door, so she wouldn't notice that they had entered the bathroom and hadn't come out all night.
Thank goodness, thank goodness…
Star slowly exhaled, then walked to the side, pulled out the stopper, and drained the water from the tub.
Fortunately, she hadn't gone too far in the bathtub, otherwise, it would have been very difficult to clean up.
Just as Star was watching the water slowly disappear, a slight sound suddenly came from behind her.
"Hmm?" Star turned her head in confusion.
At the bathroom door, the Maid, Miss Not-Worth-Mentioning, wearing only a bellyband, was staring blankly at Star.
"…"
Star's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
