Chapter 32: Preparations Finished

The bastard was really asking for it…

Nothing was worse than a thoughtless man with innocent intentions. Unable to think past himself.

At least, Hyuk realised that after speaking out.

The bunny girl looked at him red eyed. A deep red hoof-like guard manifested atop of both her ankles.

But before she could act, Nyaura quickly stopped her. She had two reasons for holding her back.

The first was their original intentions for going out.

It was hard keeping up the act of someone without any weaknesses, but there was one upside to this.

Her tiny nation couldn't watch her consistently.

Eventually, there would be times in the day the people under her went along with their lives.

Whether that be growing an inside garden or studying up and putting together information.

After all, they didn't want to forget their origins…

Ever since they came here, she had been putting her heart in creating a 'home' for them to stay.

It was since they were going to live here forever.

Was there any other reason for her to do this?

…Actually, giving them tasks like this helped her gain enough free time to go on a leisurely stroll.

Wasting time or creating an incident in the middle of the street would just draw attention to them.

If they managed to see through her makeup and her secret way of going from a buff woman to a petite beauty, then she'd forever have no time to herself. Having no way to relax out in the open.

This first reason was also realised by Velma.

She calmed down as the colourful tigress covered in makeup took initiative to get in-between them.

She flipped the rainbow extensions in her hair and leaned forward intimidatingly. Her eyes were cold.

There was a second reason she didn't lash out.

And that one was the most important of them all.

Normally, her Semblance would be able to detect any malice from others… but she felt he'd differed.

Rather than a 'grudge', she only felt warmth…

Like he was acting out of both their interests.

"Can I have a word with you alone?" He asked the tiger woman for her time, which Velma was against:

"Why can't you say it in front of us, huh? Just get out of here, you damn-" Nyaura covered her lips.

It was only then the bunny girl realised that they were getting close to drawing a crowd to them.

Rather than staying any longer, they'd quickly found a secluded alley to sort their differences.

At least, that was Velma's solution to the issue.

Rather than hearing what he was going to talk about, she attacked the moment they entered.

Her guard-covered ankle was the contact point for the attack. A kick was thrown straight at his neck.

The sudden ambush merely surprised the man…

*Crash*

The sound of bone tenderising flesh rang out, but the look on his face seemed completely unfazed.

His sixth gate of awareness had opened…

The speed of the attack might have been beyond an ordinary person's reaction time, but Hyuk was able to momentarily 'regain' his enhanced senses the moment before the attack. Thus… tensing up.

With his superhuman physicality, he endured her ambush and started to talk before she interrupted:

"You guys are wondering what to do now that your relationship turned sour, right?" He hit the mark.

The adrenaline that allowed Velma to ignore her painful leg dissipated, causing her to stumble.

Even the tigress started to look at him violently…

A dangerous atmosphere was breaking.

"And why would you need to know that? Are you a relationship coach?" Something was strange here.

"Please give me a chance to explain. I have no bad intentions." He spoke the second reason she let him off earlier. Because if he HAD, then Nyaura would have ripped his heart out within a second.

Maybe it was thanks to seeing Velma's intense reaction, but the tigress liked she'd paid attention.

Her twisted heart made her play with the idea…

'What would you think if I slept with someone?' The unhealthy obsession in her eyes was caught easily.

But Hyuk had no intention to manipulate them.

"I can sense a master-servant dynamic between the two of you. Factoring in the perfume, expensive makeup, materials for your clothes, the kind of emotions in your reaction, and every subtle change in your eyes… I believe you desire assistance."

"In what…?" Nyaura's expression didn't change a shade despite being analysed in such a crazy way.

She had a good control over her expression.

"You want a puppet leader. Someone who can fill your place so you can flirt with the girl you like." It was the way he talked straight to the tigress about this that was unnerving. His third eye was glowing.

Both were unclear what he meant by this, but it was obvious that their identities couldn't be hid.

"I don't see the relation between 'becoming prostitutes' and 'getting a strong puppet leader'." It was fortunate that Nyaura found him interesting enough to spare. He chose his words wisely.

Coming closer to her body, his voice turned into a sound string that transmitted words into her ear:

"Yin cannot nurture Yin. Two Yins can't intermingle to create new things, because they are treated as the same entity. Just like how Yang can only become fuel for another Yang." He said cryptically.

The way he seemed to get under her skin was something she understood. It wasn't like she'd never heard of Chinese philosophy. By putting two and two together herself, she knew his meaning.

Though that only made her more irritated…

"You think you're a smartass, don't you?" She grabbed him by the neck, her stripes glowing to add power into that thin arm. When she did so, her power enlarged the bone along with the muscles.

Almost completely transforming its appearance.

The strength of her 'tiger' arm was gradually breaking through his Defence Qi with brute force…

Regardless, Hyuk continued transmitting his voice:

"A white flower fears 'taint'."

"Stop speaking in riddles."

"Sorry... I meant the girl you love fears change."

"You're not making any sense."

"Just hear me out. The person you're trying to get the attention of doesn't want to change herself."

"…I know."

"That's why you only have two choices. Either you change yourself, or you change her mind. Though doing both is possible." He then started to transmit his thoughts to her without Velma's knowledge.

When she heard his perspective, Nyaura started to become more open to the idea 'changing' herself.

"That's one interesting take you have on this." She loosened her grip on his neck, but he wasn't in the clear yet. There was still the matter of making her more willing to sell herself for her ideal partner.

"I'm sure you already have someone backing you."

"Damn right. If he wasn't still alive, do you think I'd be listening to you mouth off like a know-it-all?"

"However, can you rely on him for everything?"

"You're not more trustworthy than he is."

"Even if I'm the instructor of this territory's only landlord?" These words make her falter.

She was sure he wouldn't lie about this.

"Then what? Are you telling me to seduce the landlord? He's only a human being, he can't-"

"Then what if the person looked like a Beastkin?"

"…I might think about it, but I'd have to have a look at him myself." She didn't commit to anything.

However, this much was enough.

Hyuk himself needed to first identify the situation firsthand to tell if seduction could work or not.

A honey trap only worked when no one was fighting each other. It all depended on mood.

He hadn't spoke one word that wasn't honest.

He wasn't sure what would happened once they managed to 'render' Simon, but he guessed one thing: Simon would still look similar to a Beastkin and likely need someone who could control him.

Even if that didn't happen, he had his own plans.

So long as he still had horns, there was no need to abort the honey trap tactic. He just needed someone who was willing to seduce the man with her own agenda. That way… they'd both benefit.

"And if you think this person is worth seducing?"

"I'm still not sure. My backer is good enough."

"Is he the type to listen to anything you ask without getting involved in other areas? I can give you someone more willing to do anything you ask." This proposal was more attractive than Hyuk believed.

The tigress didn't care of Shane's strength, but the way he'd caught Velma's heart was too irritating.

Nyaura understood that they needed each other to control this tiny 'society' harmoniously, but that didn't mean she liked it. If she could replace the man with someone who'd pay no attention to Velma, then that would also work in her favour.

"What have you two been talking about? Hey, let's just leave him. You don't have to listen to a single word of this pervert." The bunny girl grabbed the tigress by the wrist. What he said was nonsense.

No self-respecting Beastkin would fall for his act.

"Keep her out of this." Rather than going along, she continued to listen to what he had to say about her.

Velma felt a little lost…

Seeing how the tigress shook her off, she felt like her friend was making a truly irreversible mistake.

"Nyaura…!"

"Don't shout at me, I can hear you." The woman frowned when the bunny girl strongly called out.

For someone who rejected her, her former idol sure thought she could control whatsoever happened.

"You're not thinking of agreeing with him, right?"

"And what if I did?" Seeing they were having a falling out, Hyuk didn't recklessly intervene.

Though he wasn't happy by this development, it was arrogant to think everything could be perfect.

He could only do what he believed was right.

['Goddess Loved By All' is watching this scene in interest.] The goddess watching him chimed in.

'…' The handsome man looked at the message window thoughtlessly. It was thanks to her help.

He wasn't sure what 'Pandemos' was, but he could tell she was some flavour of Goddess of fertility.

Though different from a Chinese goddess of fertility, it didn't seem like she cared for spirituality.

Taboo and passionate romances seemed to be her thing. Therefore, she was more perverted than him.

[Formulation of Unique Skill is being set in stone.]

A pop up finally appeared. 

Hyuk gave the two time to talk among themselves while he looked at the long string of notifications.

['Supreme Yang Male Cauldron Breathing' is going through an evolution. 'Love' is added to the mix.]

[Every man and woman contains the essence of Yin and Yang to some extent, so the existence of extremity causes a natural imbalance. Supreme Yang begets Heavenly Yin, and the skies revolve.]

[The duality of Yin and Yang means all under the heavens are capable of creation and stagnation. A power of fertility and contraception. Your Supreme Yang has been harmonised with Heavenly Yin.]

[You have obtained the Unique Skill: 'Yinyang Sky Revolution Breath'. You now have Heavenly Yin.]

['Contraception Seal' and 'Fertility Seal' have been added to your Intrinsic Skill knowledge repertoire.]

Hyuk felt his breathing pattern change. 

Without him knowing why, he could feel the energy of a heavenly entity had been imparted into him.

This made his body change ever so subtly…

When he turned to look at the two who had been arguing earlier, they stopped to stare at his body.

Their faces turning red…

'Is something wrong with me?' He looked around himself. He wasn't sure why they seemed charmed.

Sure, he was handsome and all, but it wasn't like they were moved by his nice appearance earlier.

That's when he noticed another notification.

[Your 'Charismatic Charm' Intrinsic Skill is evolved into your new 'Amorous Attraction' Intrinsic Skill.]

['Amorous Attraction' has made your body reach reach the plateau of beauty. Both men and women will be smitten by your appearance. Effective to all as it's not a magical effect, but a truly artistic masterpiece of a body. The gift of attractiveness.)

[Warning: This cannot be turned off. Aggro shall always turn to you if in a party. As this is your natural charm, it cannot put enemies into the status ailment of 'Charmed'. A curse of beauty.]

['Goddess Loved By All' laughs like a pervert. She is shipping her apostle with any and all people.]

[She asks of you to make her proud.]

Hyuk felt a chill down his spine. The only good thing now was women saw him instead of men.

A trauma of his past started to rise in his heart…

He found the way they looked at him to be too loveless. Like they were objectifying him by worth.

As a heterosexual man, this was at least better than being sized up the same way by other males…

…like that time before.

"Er… I'd better leave now." He wore a hooded robe from his Bag of Holding and was about to run away.

However, duo didn't seem to want him to leave.

They caught him in the tight gap of the alleyway and cornered from both sides in synchronisation.

Their eyes seemed a little too animalistic…

"I didn't notice it before, but you look cute."

'Damn, why this line again?' He couldn't remember how many time he'd heard this phrase back then.

Bad memories of the Pleasure Palace arose.

"I'm not sure why, but I feel like making exceptions just for you. Don't you want to 'persuade' us?" His eyes hardened at those ignorant words. He looked at the two like they were children in this 'game'.

"Then I consider it you both are willing? Even though you two looked down on prostitution, you want me as payment?" He confidently brought them close, then kneaded and plucked their asses.

Their soft moans only made him more aware of their immaturity and innocence. It was too bad…

They thought they were predators ganging up on their prey, but there was a vast gap in experience.

Like a master swordsman pitted against novices.

They weren't charmed by him enough to not see the difference between them that was so apparent.

…But his appearance was way too attractive.

It awakened an animalistic urge within them they themselves didn't know existed in their very DNA.

A primal instinct that made them stubborn…

They left for a certain hotel managed by Beastkin and went inside for an hour, only to leave later.

He carried them with his shoulders on both arms since they legs had become jelly in the meantime.

Their first times taken…

Hyuk hoped they'd recover from this before the day ended and the aristocracy became suspicious.

He used a movement technique to take them back to the Landlord's mansion without anyone seeing.

The preparations for their plans had finished.
