For others, becoming an adult simply meant growing up, but for Lu Jingming, it was different.

Thinking back to those times when he was intimate with Zhang Lexuan, Xu Jiujiu, or Keqing, but couldn't take the final step because he wasn't yet an adult—that frustrating feeling still lingered in his mind.

Now, it was fine; he could finally go all out. He had been eagerly anticipating this.

In the steaming hot spring, Lu Jingming was leisurely soaking, while pondering an important question in his mind.

Who should he choose this time?

At this stage, there were quite a few people who could take that final step with him and wouldn't refuse.

As his fiancée, Zhang Lexuan could have been eaten long ago; she had always been deeply devoted to him.

Xu Jiujiu wouldn't refuse either, but she was currently in the Star Luo Empire, too far to quench his immediate thirst.

Keqing was also an option; last time they got intimate, if not for his strong willpower, they would have already crossed that line.

As for Meng Hongchen, with her obsession for him, she would definitely be more than willing.

Then there were Castorice, Firefly, Gu Yue, and others. Although they had kissed and touched as much as they should in daily life, Lu Jingming felt that things with them were still missing that final spark; he couldn't rush it—emotions needed to develop gradually.

After thinking it over, Lu Jingming ultimately chose Zhang Lexuan.

After all, Zhang Lexuan was his childhood bride, silently supporting him from the beginning, even proactively helping him expand his harem. Her queenly demeanor filled his heart with gratitude.

"Hehe, little guy, what are you thinking about?"

An elegant and gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear, instantly snapping Lu Jingming out of his deep thoughts.

Unbeknownst to him, Yae Miko, wrapped in a white bath towel, had quietly arrived at the hot spring's edge.

"Miko, why are you here?" Lu Jingming asked, looking puzzled.

In his impression, Yae Miko wasn't particularly fond of hot springs.

After all, foxes soaking in hot springs could shed fur. Although Yae Miko in human form didn't have that issue, she seemed instinctively averse to it.

"What? Not welcoming me?" Yae Miko's face showed a sly smile, like peach blossoms blooming in spring—charming and a bit playful.

With that, she slowly extended her fair, jade-like foot, gently testing the water temperature, then leisurely stepped into the hot spring.

Her pink long hair floated dreamily on the water's surface, her snow-white shoulders vaguely visible through the misty steam, like a stunning painting.

"Don't I know you? You're probably thinking of ways to tease me. You're really one to hold a grudge."

Lu Jingming said speechlessly.

This fox was very vindictive. On the surface, she said she'd let it go for Raiden Makoto's sake and not hold it against him, but she had teased him plenty in private.

"Hehe, little guy, is that the image you have of me in your heart?"

Yae Miko pretended to look heartbroken, pouting coquettishly.

Before her words finished, she approached Lu Jingming like a nimble fox.

Then, her snow-white arms gently wrapped around from behind, like vines—gentle yet seductive—encircling Lu Jingming's neck.

At the same time, her alluring red lips slowly leaned toward Lu Jingming's ear, exhaling a warm breath laced with threads of temptation.

Lu Jingming felt two soft mounds pressing tightly against his back. Even in the steaming hot spring, he could clearly feel that unique warmth.

This sudden intimate contact made him shiver, his blood surging rapidly.

"What are you doing, Miko? You're playing with fire! Do you know I just turned 18 today!"

Lu Jingming's voice carried a hint of urgency. Under Yae Miko's intense temptation, little Jingming immediately showed signs of rising.

Fortunately, being in the hot spring meant he didn't have to suppress that impulse deliberately.

"Hehe, I've always liked starting fires, but as for putting them out, you should go find your little girlfriends for that."

Yae Miko chuckled softly, her laughter like clear silver bells, yet full of endless allure.

Her actions grew bolder, her hands like fluttering butterflies, slowly caressing Lu Jingming's firm chest from behind. The soft pressure from behind intensified, constantly stimulating his nerves.

"Heh, since the fire's already lit, better put it out on the spot!" Lu Jingming gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words.

At the same time, he suddenly reached out, firmly grabbing Yae Miko's wrist. A surge of impulse rose in him to pull this seductress fox who had deliberately ignited his desires in front of him and eat her on the spot to quench the unbearable fire in his heart.

However, Yae Miko's goal was merely to tease Lu Jingming; she had no intention of actually getting involved.

With a light twist of her arm, she slipped away like a slippery fish, cleverly escaping Lu Jingming's grasp.

At the same time, her body retreated, creating some distance from Lu Jingming.

"Little guy, you're thinking quite beautifully!"

Yae Miko's tone carried a hint of smugness. She had successfully aroused Lu Jingming's desires but had no plans to take responsibility—like an amusing prank.

Moreover, she felt she had given Lu Jingming quite the treat just now.

Although Lu Jingming was powerful, Yae Miko was no pushover. If she truly wanted to escape, Lu Jingming couldn't do much about it in the short term.

"Makoto, help me!" At this point, Lu Jingming had completely thrown caution to the wind and played his trump card.

Today, he was determined to make this seductress fox understand that some fires couldn't be lit casually—once lit, there would be consequences.

"Miko, don't blame me! You're the one who chose to provoke him today!"

Raiden Makoto's gentle voice carried a hint of teasing. As soon as she spoke, a vast and majestic demon god pressure descended like a mountain, instantly falling upon Yae Miko.

This sudden, overwhelming pressure made her body stiffen, rendering her immobile.

"Makoto, you!" Yae Miko was shocked; she never expected Raiden Makoto to help Lu Jingming at a time like this.

After all, Yae Miko was a demon god's dependent, the dependent of the Eternal God, and Raiden Makoto was precisely her Eternal God.

Facing Raiden Makoto, Yae Miko was inherently suppressed at her core and utterly unable to resist.

"Not too early, not too late—right at this moment. It's decided—it's you, Miko!"

Lu Jingming seized this perfect opportunity, suddenly reaching out and pulling the stiffened Yae Miko tightly into his embrace.

With this pull, the white bath towel on Yae Miko slipped off, her exquisite figure vaguely visible in the misty hot spring, like a seductive painting slowly unfolding.

If she had come a bit earlier, when Lu Jingming wasn't yet an adult, even facing Yae Miko's teasing, he wouldn't have gone too far—at most, taking some small advantages.

His resistance to Miko's teasing and temptation would likely have been much stronger.

But it had to be today, the day he just turned adult—the day when he had been holding back for so long, and his desires were at their peak.

So, Yae Miko playing with fire like this was essentially walking into a trap, reaping what she sowed.

"Woo!" A soft, delicate whimper echoed in the hot spring pool as Yae Miko's luscious red lips were instantly captured by Lu Jingming.

At the same time, Lu Jingming's hands firmly took hold of her soft body as if declaring his sovereignty.

In their entanglement, Lu Jingming's bath towel also quietly fell away. At this moment, the two had truly returned to nature.

At that time, Raiden Makoto and the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who were blushing and peeking from the Stigmata Space, suddenly sensed the connection between the Stigmata Space and the outside world being severed instantly.

In an instant, they lost their perception of the outside, seeing only the scenery of the Stigmata Space, unable to view what was happening externally.

It turned out that while Lu Jingming was bullying this seductress fox Yae Miko, he hadn't forgotten the two consciousnesses attached to him.

He had no peculiar fetish for being watched, even if the others would eventually become part of his harem. He felt that such matters should maintain some privacy.

Moreover, he had to save some face for Yae Miko, as the upcoming scenes were truly not suitable for children—meant only for him to enjoy alone.

Accompanied by Yae Miko's muffled hum, a splash of vibrant red quietly stained the steaming hot spring water.

But it had to be said that the clever and beautiful Yae Miko possessed an irresistible charm.

Whether it was her near-perfect figure or her exquisitely stunning looks, everything was top-tier, a ceiling-level existence in every aspect.

Especially her body's flexibility—it was beyond imagination, as if she could effortlessly handle any high-difficulty position.

No matter how Lu Jingming maneuvered, Yae Miko could cooperate perfectly, satisfying his every demand.

Now that things had come to this, Yae Miko—who had originally planned to ignite Lu Jingming's flames and then retreat—ultimately fell hard in this game due to Raiden Makoto's betrayal, ending up giving herself away.

However, although Yae Miko was scheming, fond of teasing, with an unpredictable personality that couldn't be judged by common sense, she could accept defeat gracefully.
