"Tell me, just how many other women do you have out there?"
Mobius's vertical pupils stared dangerously at Jun An's profile.
Now it was just the two of them. Although Eden hadn't said anything, Mobius had discerned from her expression that the Captain's lovers definitely weren't limited to just the few wedding dress prototypes in Eden's room.
Jun An glanced sideways at Mobius behind him. She had already reverted to her memory body state, but...
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."
Jun An counted on his fingers, then finally gave up and said bluntly, "I'll introduce them to you when I have time."
Jun An made no attempt to hide it. Anyway, he knew that what Mobius cared about definitely wasn't some ceremonial legality; at most, she'd just get a little jealous.
Mobius, however, bit him fiercely on the neck, leaving a clear row of teeth marks. Within the marks, two fang-like impressions, as if from a venomous snake, were quite distinct, even drawing a trace of blood.
"Hiss~"
Jun An's face contorted in pain. "Ouch, ouch, ouch! You're not a real snake, why are you biting me?"
Mobius clearly knew one bite wouldn't kill Jun An; she had truly bitten down hard. She licked Jun An's wound.
Of course, she wouldn't admit she was jealous, so she said stubbornly, "It's not like you haven't bitten me once or twice. What's wrong with me biting you once?"
Jun An retorted righteously, "That was sucking! And you didn't even draw blood!"
Jun An glanced at the teeth marks on his shoulder out of the corner of his eye; she had bitten two holes clean through his clothes.
"Then next time, I'll just make a body that can lactate."
Mobius pondered for a moment. Anyway, it was just a matter of altering some DNA. Besides, she still had bodies from her primary sexual development stage, secondary sexual development stage, and her time in the Fire Moth.
Although they were originally spare bodies prepared for her pursuit of "infinity," it didn't matter if she casually modified them according to the Captain's preferences.
Just like using Elysia's body, Mobius didn't care about her own appearance. If anything, she only cared about Jun An.
If the Captain liked it, she could transform into anyone's appearance.
Thinking this, Mobius couldn't help but bite Jun An again, then suckled his blood, using her saliva to help stop the bleeding.
Wincing in pain, Jun An asked, puzzled, "Why did you bite me again?"
"Little guinea pig, what kind of women do you like?"
Mobius said directly, "As long as you like them, I'll create them for you. That way, can't you have any kind of woman you want?"
"Being so good to me?" Jun An was instantly overjoyed. Wouldn't this be just like those girls who could transform into anything?
But then he immediately became suspicious. As everyone knew, Mobius never did anything without a profit.
Mobius breathed seductively into Jun An's ear, "So, from now on, only love me, and I'll make any kind of body you want for you, how about that?"
A very reasonable, but not at all cost-effective, transaction.
Jun An knew she was jealous. Sure enough, changing bodies gave her the leeway to be jealous. He still hadn't fucked her enough.
Regarding this, Jun An could only sigh helplessly and offer a well-intentioned reminder, "For your safety, don't think too much about such things."
"Why?" Mobius was instantly puzzled. "What do you mean, for my safety?"
Did this kind of thing have anything to do with safety?
"Let's put it this way: if I were to run to the other girls now and say, 'I will only ever love Mobius! All of you, stay away from me!' then, without a doubt, you would be caught and beaten violently by them, not me being divided into a dozen equal parts."
Jun An imagined that scene and said, "After all, in their eyes, the probability of me loving and then abandoning them is probably one-tenth the probability of you brainwashing me."
Incidentally, as long as Jun An hadn't "ultimately abandoned" them, then Jun An can never be considered to have "loved and then abandoned"!
But Mobius wouldn't be led astray by Jun An.
"You really don't know how to say anything romantic, little guinea pig."
Mobius's eyes sharply watched Jun An's deadpan expression. "I asked if you wanted to, but you told me if you could? Do you think I'm as easy to deceive as others?"
Even if Mobius only had Jun An as her romantic experience, she wasn't the kind of little girl who could be easily fobbed off.
She was Mobius, Mobius whose IQ far surpassed ordinary people. How could such words possibly coax her?
However, before Mobius could bite Jun An's back again, Jun An put her down and helplessly gave her a deep, unguarded kiss.
After the kiss, Mobius's face was slightly red, but she still hadn't forgotten Jun An's unsatisfactory answer from before.
"Y-You think I'm an easy-to-coax little girl? Just a touch of mucous membranes and I'm appeased?"
"No, the action simply represents my attitude."
Jun An said helplessly but seriously: "If I abandoned my wives for you, that would also mean I might abandon you for someone else in the future. You wouldn't want that, right?"
Mobius imagined Jun An abandoning her for another woman, insisting on divorcing her, and her face instantly turned ashen.
—Damn Elysia!
Seeing Mobius seemed to empathize somewhat, Jun An continued, "If you were the first person to confess to me and have a relationship with me, then I would definitely strive to love only you. But as you know, I've already started down this path, so all I can do is never abandon any of you."
"So, this is like a guarantee: as long as you don't despise me, I will also love you always, never abandoning you. Isn't that the same?"
Jun An savored his own scumbag lines. Perfect.
Mobius only heard the words "lecher" between the lines. Of course, by Mobius's standards, as long as Jun An could take responsibility for every girl, then it didn't count as being a scumbag.
After all, human mating patterns, whether monogamy or polygamy, are all determined by different eras, different customs, and social development. Human morality is the same.
And as Jun An said, if he ever made a move to "abandon" anyone – let alone abandoning his entire harem, even abandoning just one from his harem – then Jun An's love would be tainted.
At that point, everyone would feel insecure, and even Mobius would have to work desperately hard out of fear of being abandoned...
Thinking about this, she would definitely, without hesitation, choose between "striving hard" and "sinking into depravity" by first brainwashing Jun An and then running away to the ends of the earth, making him her little toy forever.
So, after forming a plan in her heart, Mobius wasn't so angry anymore.
It's just that she had another calculation in mind: the experiment to brainwash the Captain should also be put on the agenda, lest he not want her anymore later on.
Jun An carried Mobius on his back to find Pussycat Pardofelis; in the entire Elysian Realm, she was the most well-informed.
"Brother Jun An! And, Snake... Sister Snake."
Pardofelis trembled slightly as if seeing a real snake, but quickly composed herself.
Brother Jun An is here, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Muttering this in her heart, Pardofelis went up to greet them. "Rare guests, rare guests! What can I get for you two? It's rare for Brother Jun An and Sister Snake to come together. I'll take a small loss this time, how about a 10% discount for you?"
"I'm here to ask about Vill-V's recent whereabouts."
Jun An asked directly. Among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Vill-V was the hardest to find. Due to her multiple personalities, she wasn't like most other Flame-Chasers who either liked to stay in the lounge or in their own designated areas.
Several personalities almost randomly controlled the body; as soon as one was deemed not to be doing proper work, another personality would idly come out to take over.
Although Jun An had seen plenty of split personalities, like Seele, Wendy, Anna, Mei, and Kiana, someone split like Vill-V was almost unheard of in the world.
"Oh, so Brother Jun An is here to gather intelligence."
Pardofelis immediately put on a shifty merchant's expression. "Then you've asked the right person! I happen to have a ticket for Sister Vill-V's performance, and it's today. If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaply."
Jun An touched his empty pockets and looked behind him. "No money. Mobius, lend me some?"
Jun An's bank card was with Eden. Now, Jun An truly didn't have a penny, and he even had tens of millions in debt to Susannah.
But Mobius also shook her head. "I used it all up selling experimental materials and setting up equipment earlier. How could I have any?"
"No money? No problem!"
Pardofelis patted her large chest and said, "Seeing as Brother Jun An is a regular big customer, I'll make an exception this time. We can trade items too. Hmm, Brother Jun An, do you still have any of that cat food you used to bring often?"
Barter?
Mobius was familiar with this.
Mobius and Jun An exchanged a look, and Mobius just nodded slightly and jumped off his shoulder.
Mobius, the biology Ph.D., could tell at a glance that Pardofelis was definitely not a virgin, and there was no doubt who the culprit was.
"Then let's barter."
After Jun An said this, he directly pushed Pardofelis onto her cargo cart.
"Eh!?"
Pardofelis's tail instantly stiffened. One of her legs was lifted by the Captain, and she knew what was going to happen next.
She didn't oppose this kind of barter, but the problem was Sister Snake was still nearby!!
"Brother Jun An, th-this brazenly?"
"It's fine, let her watch."
Jun An, on the other hand, didn't care. Pardofelis was dressed very lightly, which was very convenient for Jun An; unlike Mobius, he didn't have to look for clasps and zippers.
Thinking of this, Jun An couldn't help but thank Eden in his heart.
"Sister Snake."
Pardofelis, like a little kitten, was both wanting and afraid. She couldn't help but cast a pleading look at Mobius, signaling that she was being forced, so Mobius shouldn't cause her trouble.
But Mobius had already entered Sage Mode. Even though she had changed bodies, the deep satisfaction from her soul left her with little interest for the time being.
"I'll keep watch for you. Hurry up."
So, Mobius turned a deaf ear to the little cat caught by Jun An, walked directly to the side, took out equipment from her shadow, and began to organize the data she had obtained from her previous intercourse with the Captain.
And Jun An naturally couldn't be fast. After all, it had been a while since he had played with a cat-eared girl. The soft ears and this long cat tail – Jun An naturally wanted to play with them thoroughly.
After delivering the grain on time, she showed Jun An the way to find Vill-V.
In the end, amidst Pardofelis's continuous meows, Mobius couldn't hold back, joined Jun An in "petting the cat," and also participated, once again offering this body's virginity to the Captain.
After this incident, Mobius also confirmed that using her own body was indeed better in terms of sensitivity than using Elysia's form.
After all, this body of hers was indeed designed to be rather narrow from the beginning, and small in stature. One round trip could take care of all aspects; whether it was a critical point or not, all areas could be attacked at once.
However, this time, because there was still serious business, basically feeding the cat together was considered the end of it.
It's just that Pardofelis kept muttering until the end, "Sister Aili, I'm sorry! Last time, really the last time!"
Then she went off happily.
After getting directions from Pardofelis, Jun An continued to carry Mobius, who was slightly injured in her nether regions, towards Vill-V's station.
But this time he changed the position slightly, trying to see if he could make Mobius float without using his hands. After all, her weight was the lightest among all the Flame-Chasers except for Griseo; perhaps there was a chance of success.
But because her body's passages were indeed somewhat narrow, with limited room for movement, coupled with Jun An's higher defense, she got injured.
And Mobius also made a mental note of the lesson: next time, after getting enough money, she must get a stronger body. That way, she might actually succeed in the attempt.
After all, one must have a challenging spirit.
Thinking this, Jun An also brought her to the place where Vill-V was going to hold her magic show.
