"Did you hear anything?" One Millelith's ear twitched, then he turned to his colleague beside him and asked.
"No…" The other Millelith shook his head.
Although he said no, for safety's sake, they still turned together and looked around.
In the deep night, Yuehai Pavilion was very quiet, as always.
"What did you hear?"
"It sounded like water…"
"Water? Could it be a burst pipe somewhere?"
"No, it wasn't that kind of water sound, it was, how should I put it, like—never mind, I must have misheard." The Millelith sighed, then shook his head and said.
He was slightly older and had no idea how to explain it to his younger colleague.
Besides, such a thing was embarrassing to say, otherwise wouldn't it be easy for people to misunderstand?
"Speaking of which, where is Yuheng Lord? She disappeared in the blink of an eye." The younger Millelith didn't press the question, just looked into the distance with some confusion.
Yuheng Lord had just been behind them, seemingly checking every blind spot.
In fact, they had also considered those areas, but Yuheng Lord still meticulously checked them all.
He had, of course, secretly glanced back; Yuheng Lord seemed to be talking to herself towards the grass, but the distance was a bit far, and her voice was very faint, making it hard to hear what she was saying.
It was then that he turned his head back and stopped paying attention.
A moment later, his colleague beside him asked a question.
In this short time, less than a minute, how could Yuheng Lord have disappeared?
"Perhaps she went to inspect other places; this small area of ours can be checked quickly." The older Millelith didn't care about such small matters.
"But, it shouldn't be that fast…"
"Hey, Yuheng Star is highly skilled in martial arts and a Vision user; it's normal for her to be fast."
"Besides, do you think Yuheng Lord would encounter danger? I don't think there's anyone in this world who could abduct Yuheng Lord without a sound."
"Well, that's true." The younger Millelith nodded, no longer thinking deeply about it.
How could the powerful Yuheng Star be abducted without a sound right under their noses?
------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, it would indeed be impossible, but it also depends on who the other party is.
Aether narrowed his eyes, still having the leisure to listen to the two Millelith whispering.
Their Yuheng Lord was currently in his arms, held tightly by him, completely unable to resist, allowing him to take what he wanted.
There was no other way; Aether didn't want this either, but Keqing's strength was simply too great, and he couldn't control her with one hand.
With both hands occupied, he simply couldn't find another way to cover Keqing's mouth.
He had no choice but to use his own lips and nimble tongue.
After all, Aether didn't want to be discovered, even if Keqing could explain for him, it would still expose him to the Millelith, and ultimately cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, normally, covering a mouth doesn't need to take such a long time, and Keqing had already seen his appearance and definitely recognized who he was, so there was no need to keep covering it.
Aether wasn't unwilling to let go; it was just that Keqing definitely had a taste for it and was clinging to him fiercely, making it impossible for him to break free for a while…
After a long time, so long that the two Millelith were almost ready for their shift change, Aether finally released Keqing.
"Hah… Hah… You, how are you here!" Keqing whispered, the blush on her cheeks still visible even in the pitch-black night.
He didn't know if it was due to prolonged difficulty breathing, or something else.
"Sorry, this matter is complicated to explain." Aether licked his lips, savoring Keqing's taste.
Speaking of which, he was still holding Keqing, not letting go; both of their Slimes were pressed tightly together, deforming.
Aether had no intention of letting go, and Keqing seemed to have forgotten about it entirely, not mentioning it at all.
For a moment, the two fell silent, simply gazing at each other, their pupils reflecting only the other's figure.
After a long while, Aether finally reacted and slowly spoke:
"Um, why don't we go somewhere else? I'll explain properly."
Aether felt a bit awkward saying this, about getting lost in a building after going for a walk in the middle of the night.
It certainly wasn't anything to be proud of.
"You…" Keqing looked at Aether with a complicated expression.
She never imagined her first kiss would happen in such a way, and right from the start, it was such a deep exchange.
This was something Keqing never dared to dream of, and while she wasn't completely ignorant, she never thought such an intense thing would happen to her.
And the object of her first kiss was Aether, which was even more unexpected.
Of course, she wasn't overly sad, but to say she was happy didn't seem entirely accurate either.
Keqing didn't know how to describe it; she just felt very confused inside.
Of course, she could also understand that Aether might have done it to prevent her from instinctively making a sound and attracting the nearby Millelith.
But understanding is one thing; this method was ultimately too embarrassing. Seeing Aether react like that almost instantly, she wondered how many times he had done it before; he was incredibly skilled.
And then, later on, it didn't seem to be merely about keeping her from making a sound.
She even found herself uncontrollably starting to respond, even though it was her first time, but the end result made it seem like she was the one clinging to Aether…
Perhaps it was because the experience was truly too comfortable; as a first-timer, she inadvertently became engrossed.
Thinking of this, the blush on Keqing's face deepened a few shades.
"F-follow me. There's a conference room over there." Keqing took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly to Aether.
No matter what, they had to leave this dreadful place first. If the Millelith outside discovered her and Aether hiding in the bushes in such a posture, especially with the persistent blush on her face, it would probably be impossible to explain.
Aether followed Keqing's hand and looked over. There seemed to be a large building in the dark area.
The number of Millelith there was small, and with their skills, they should be able to sneak in easily without being noticed by anyone.
"Okay, let's go quickly."
