It was rather hard to remember the flow of time. At least, that was what my love-consumed brain told me.
I honestly couldn't remember what the time was as I and Wu-chan kept kissing. Even my internal clock seemed to have ceased functioning for the moment as I had my beautiful girlfriend locking her lips with mine.
At first, it was one simple and deliciously sweet yet short kiss. I only gave her a few drops of my sweet nectar to vanish her fatigue, but then we just wanted the experience to repeat, badly.
And thus, we did it again. Another kiss, another burning sensation, and a longer time where we just enjoyed the feel of each other's lips.
A part of me had even wondered if something more would have happened. If we would start indulging in the physical pleasures of flesh right then and there. I certainly didn't feel like it was a terrible idea.
At least, that's how I felt. I was just so damn aroused. I almost felt like I had human legs that were rubbing at each other to try dealing with the heat, just like I felt my sweet Wu-chan doing...
More... I want more... We want more...!
Unfortunately, or fortunately... before my arms dared to move, to leave her delicate face and give that gorgeous body the attention it so deserves...
A loud buzzing sound rang into my and Wu-chan's ears, as if a sound speaker blasted right into my head.
It felt as if one dumped a bucket of cold water at me, as I froze in my tracks, eyes widening as I found my arousal vanishing in seconds.
'What...? What happened...?' I could only think dumbly as I immediately assessed my situation in nearly no time, and the first thing being... I and Wu-chan were still lip-locking!?
Right away, I felt heat rush to my face as my mind finally remembered enough of what I did... and what I was about to do. I was so embarrassed.
'I- I- I-! I was about to do that! Oh g-g-goddess! I didn't even plan to have it go that far! I only wanted to try dual cultivation with her! Wh- why did we go that far!?'
Panicking, I broke contact just as quickly as she did, and I tightly closed my mouth, my hands covering my face from the sheer shame and indignity I had just felt.
I desperately tried to ignore the trail of nectar that appeared for just a split second, linking both our lips! How... How humiliating!
It felt so damn mortifying! Even Wu-chan is reacting the same way, and that only makes it even more terrifying. My girlfriend is seeing me this vulnerable! I just can't take it!
Even though I'm an alraune, I clearly overestimated my ability to deal with my nonchalance towards sex! I was so not ready for this kind of committment! Not out of the blue!
"A... ah...! Aahhhh!" I screamed as I meekly covered my bust that I barely noticed was just a tad larger. Suddenly, it felt as if the vines I used to cover my bust were covering nothing at all as I still could feel the phantom of Wu-chan's gaze at me as if she could see my exposed breasts. The fact that I knew that she was feeling my own shame only made the feeling worse.
I almost moved my vines to throw her off my body in my panic, but she was the one that moved first, nearly stumbling over my petals to jump away and give me some space.
"S-srorry, Ai'er, I'l leave- aah!"
It was then that the heavens, seemingly enjoying my misery, threw the next wave of humiliation at us.
The petals surrounding us seemingly turned into dust from the smallest of touches, as if they were as fragile as glass, and she suddenly fell into what looked like some golden liquid with a splash, almost making me stupefied had my awareness not been so high, and I immediately felt how my body had changed.
Or more precisely, I had now evolved. I didn't even need to consciously try to find the changes, they were made clear in my mind, as if I instinctually knew about them in and out.
No longer was I a Silver-ranked, Level 3 Large Rainblossom Alraune anymore, but a Gold-ranked Level 1 Predator Rainblossom Alraune.
My lower and monster body was a bit larger, naturally, but where my petals should have been was where the changes truly began. First of all, where my monstrous body ended, began the form of what I can only describe like an oversized lily flower. So many petals overlapping, almost vibrant with life as each took one of the colors of the rainbow. With this, I also look ridiculously larger due to the height of the giant lily flower that sprouted from the top of my monstrous body.
Though, the space was wide enough for both me and Wu-chan to be inside with no problems.
My human body on the other hand... I was clearly older, maybe something close to twenty years old, from how my instincts told me, and my hair was long, nearly reaching my hips. And yes, I now have hips, a butt, and legs, and what else a woman has usually. Right above my butt, a thick green vine was there, binding my human body with my lower monstrous body. Despite how thin it looked compared to my torso, it was absurdly sturdy.
And finally, up to my knees, the lily flower where I and Wu-chan are inside at the moment, was filled to the brim with nectar. Aphrodisiac nectar. It was inert at the moment, but if I so wanted, it would create the sweetest and most potent smell to lure prey into me to feed on.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to marvel in this evolution and the sheer power I now had coursing through my veins, because I was consumed with another disaster that made me feel like I wanted to die of shame.
"U... uuuu~!" I felt tears leaking through my eyes as I noticed that I was naked. Naked! Wu-chan was looking at me! She- she was seeing everything!
Everything!
She saw my privates down there! I just can't take this anymore! Stop looking at me like a pervert! I don't care if you are shocked or baffled! Stop looking!
"S-stop looking!" I abandoned all rational thought and I curled to hide my body from her as she looked at me with her mouth open. I can see the redness on your face! Don't bother hiding it!
My vines rushed, capturing her arms and dragging her out of my giant flower as she was unceremoniously thrown out with an indignant squeak as she called my name, but I didn't feel like caring at all. I just wanted to her to be anywhere except looking at me!
And just as quickly as she was thrown out, my petals moved and closed around me, engulfing my human body in a cocoon of darkness. I was so humiliated! I refused to even look at her with my monster body's eyes!
To think that this had happened...!
Instead, I glared and bared my fangs at the damn Protector Bee that dared to put me in this position and kept looking bored out of its mind, as rage fueled my heart alongside the shame I was feeling, and I found myself having my first ever Young Master moment, and I fully found it a one quintillion sextillion percent legit!
Unforgivable, unacceptable! If I got my hands on you with or without the permission of the Queen Bee, I will shred and consume every bit of your wings and body until not even a single cell will remain! How dare... how dare some being like you interrupt my time with my friend and cause this embarrassment and shame to us (and cockblock us! Or so did the remaining lust in me say), you lowly Silver-ranked bee!?
Just you wait until I find some way that doesn't implicate me with your death! I will never forget this incident, even if the Queen Bee ordered me to!
Mei Wu was a mess. She very much was, that much she could understand.
Ever since her mind was awoken from the lust, she felt nothing but pure shame and embarrassment. Her face was blushing nonstop ever since! She nearly had actual sexual activities with her friend (now lover)! Right after finishing their dual cultivation!
That was so... awkward! Not to mention how it felt so improper! But it was so damn hot and arousing! Just the thought of it was enough to make her face redden with new vigor!
'I was so not ready for that! And neither was she, clearly!' she lamented to herself as her body worked automatically to fill the containers with Ai's nectar that was pouring from one of the many vines the alraune had.
Thank goodness that their bodies can do this on autopilot, but damn it! She really didn't feel like doing the bidding of the Queen Bee right now, but honestly, rebelling when she threatened them just yesterday. Not to mention that Ai might get in trouble if Mei Wu wanted to be impulsive and rebel even by just not doing the rather still simple work.
And speaking of the alraune in question...
Mei Wu sighed as she looked at the sight in front of her, as she tried her best to ignore the awkward feeling in her heart, as well as the sensation of embarrassment clinging to the Qi of Nature.
"Ai'er, when will you stop hiding your face?" she asked, looking not at the monstrous body of one Kasumi Ai, but instead towards the rainbow-colored petals above it as they were closed tightly.
Yeah, that was the problem now. Ai apparently decided to just keep her human body inside that protective petal shield. And a bigger problem was...
"No! Don't wanna! Leave me alone! I want to be alone!" came the pitiful wails of her partner, who seemed to have felt shame for the first time in her life of little under two months.
Mei Wu had to ignore the feeling of wrongness at that thought. Why did two months feel so little as Ai's actual age? No matter. She will deal with it later.
Now, she has a shut-in alraune in need for help, and as much as she would have loved seeing her friend squirming and blushing because of many things such as her irritating humor and making fun at the expense of the human woman, Mei Wu didn't want it to be like this, or in this situation.
"Ai... We both know that you're not really meaning it." she gently put her hand on the green skin of the monster body of her beloved. (How strange yet fitting, calling Ai her beloved.)
She felt as if Ai had curled her human body even further. "Shut up! I'm not happy, okay!?" came another wail, one that felt desperate, but not desperate enough for the alraune to just retreat.
"Ai'er, please. I know that you're feeling exposed and ashamed of, uh... accidentally showing yourself to me." Mei Wu got a piteous whine at that, "but we both couldn't expect that might have happened when we tried the dual cultivation." she admitted.
It was true, though. Neither of them expected that their ability to reason would be discarded so thoroughly.
Kasumi Ai was a complete novice in anything actually sexual despite her attitude and humor bordering on and even crossing the sexual kind at times, and even with being an alraune, she had never really found any chance to actually indulge in lust like alraunes were supposed to be.
It was normal that she was immediately consumed by the joy and enrapture of it all. Dual cultivation didn't just affect the body, but the spirits and minds as well, and it made the sensation nearly impossible to resist if one didn't have any experience with it, or sex in general, since one's very soul seemed so vulnerable and exposed. In a way, it was as if Ai was dosed by aphrodisiacs, thus it made sense she lost herself to lust.
If anything, it was already a miracle that Ai didn't try some weird bondage with her vines or more (and consequently ruin the only set of clothes Mei Wu had...) and go all the way the moment they had their first kiss together. If anything, that was one hell of a restraint when taking into account how her instincts to have sex were always controlled if not ignored by the usually goofy alraune.
Mei Wu though, felt a bit disappointed at her own lack of restraint. By the heavens, she should have been more in control. She did have sex even before she met... then again, she didn't like that part of her life one bit. And the very few times she did have the so-called reward of being chosen to dual cultivate with an elder.... it was clearly only for their benefit and as disappointing and disgusting for her as it ever could be.
It was the nature of connection she had with Ai, and that they both desired for the other to grow as well was what made the experience so... overwhelmingly pleasurable she could not even think of anything else.
"And yet it happened, and I don't like it! At least you didn't have to deal with flashing me your everything! I-if you want me to show up, then promise me you will take full responsibility, you perv!"
Mei Wu felt the words die in her throat at that, cheeks reddening quickly at that. She wasn't an idiot, and she very much knew what responsibility Ai was talking about. Not to mention, the emotion of desperation emanating from her friend (lover) was getting thicker.
"Ai'er, this isn't the time to joke about marriage! And I know you're just trying to throw me off so that I leave you on your own! Ai, this isn't like you!" seriously, she really wanted that goofy attitude back, instead of this pseuda-angsty mood mixed with a childish tantrum that was now manifesting.
"... I'm not feeling like myself at the moment though..." well, talk about stating the obvious. And in such a miserable tone too!
Resisting the urge to sigh. Truly, why can't things ever be simple with this alraune? Okay, maybe she should try a different approach?
"Ai'er., my love..."
At her affectionate words, laced with as much love and care she could muster, Mei Wu felt the Qi of Nature twitching, embarrassment and shame were still there, but now a bit of joy and curiosity seemed to appear as well.
"Please, let me be with you again. I... I want to give you a hug. Just... just like you did to me back then... please... I know you want it. I promise, that I would do nothing else. You know that I would never want to harm you, Ai'er... Will you please allow me?"
The words, despite her trying to muster her confidence, felt as if she was confessing her love all over, and this time she didn't even have the haze of lust to make her ignore the embarrassment.
But even so, her words had an effect, as Ai's body stilled, before slowly, the petals gently separated, and Ai's head meekly peeked at her, hidden by the large petals.
"R-really...? N-nothing else? Just staying with me?" she was trembling, so shy and awkward Mei Wu felt as if this green-haired woman would be the kind to be terrified of her own shadow.
It almost made her feel happy, seeing this new side, had it not been a delicate moment.
Giving her a gentle smile, Mei Wu answered, "yes, just a hug like you gave me before, and maybe... we can tackle your evolution along with our... unique experience as well. Is that fine?" yeah, that evolution would also need to be addressed. Preferably when Ai calms down and is mentally sound... for a certain value of that, anyways.
"Okay..."
With that permission, Mei Wu gracefully jumped inside the lily flower where Ai's human body was, ironically looking as fragile as a flower.
This might be a long conversation, she thought.
It was rather hard to remember the flow of time. At least, that was what my love-consumed brain told me.
I honestly couldn't remember what the time was as I and Wu-chan kept kissing. Even my internal clock seemed to have ceased functioning for the moment as I had my beautiful girlfriend locking her lips with mine.
