Patrolling Life

Arriving at a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. Where the nearest Kingdom was more than 20,000,000 kilometers away. Heian Ciemnosc and his Team flew towards a port Beto was instructed to go. Before docking, Heian Ciemnosc saw many figures waiting for them, all clad in the same armor, and with the emblem of the Grotto, they came to help. This was a Third Step organization, like the Crimsonbreaking Faction, but it was impossibly different.

“Woaaah, they changed this part. It wasn’t as beautiful,” Loma said as Heian Ciemnosc docked his Ornament and prepared to leave. Sandra chipped in, “Mn! They’ve sent a few more people to receive us this time. Ah, is this the difference of wearing our medals? Hehe.”

“Girls! Pay attention! We have a VIP guest right here, can’t you tell?” Cara said, interfering in the girls’ and reminding everyone that Milyy came to this mission with them. Then, Heian Ciemnosc entered the coms with Milyy, making a strange sound before speaking, “Mwuchaaa! That’s right, I’m here, don’t forget me. But don’t worry, I won’t bother you. Just act as if I’m not here!”

“...” Meanwhile, Heian Ciemnosc was left speechless as his lips were finally freed with a loud smacking sound. His mouth felt slightly numb, but the sweetness of Milyy’s saliva and her scent remained. After placing the kitty out of his lap and standing up, Heian Ciemnosc opened his Ornament’s cabin, only to find several guards from both sexes waiting for him to shout at the sight of his pervertedly handsome, pale face.

“Greetings, young noble!” The greeting surprised Heian Ciemnosc, and Milyy, who peeked her head with her unique hat on, curiously looked at these people. Heian Ciemnosc acknowledged and nodded at them before elaborating. “Oh. Bring me to the meeting place.”

“Over here, please,” a soft voice sounded as one of the guards bowed courteously. Heian Ciemnosc stepped down his Ornament and activated a button with his Spirit Sense from his medallion. His Ornament closed after Milyy hopped down and landed beside Heian Ciemnosc on his right. Array formations enveloped the Ornament, and even self-destruction types kept Heian Ciemnosc’s secrets well-kept. Only if a Third Step fella, experienced in Craftsmaking and with a lot of free time, wanted to see what the Ornament would all of this be worthless.

Step, step, step. Heian Ciemnosc walked with the guards behind him as the female guided them to where his teammates were led. Milyy looked everywhere with undivided attention. There was vegetation that extended to space, where Elemental Poisoning should’ve eaten it away and dusted it into nonexistence. Knowing all the possible questions new visitors would have, the female guard gestured to the right, where a branch with many verdant bubs protruded.

“Our flora has been well-kept by many of our greatest Craftspeople alchemists. The principal tourist attraction is this type of vegetation that can coexist between a Kingdom or space station and space. The Elemental Poisoning does try to eat it, but our flora are trained to contend with even the air. In short, our flora can ‘befriend’ the Elemental Poisoning. Each branch is different, and the length they reach into space represents how good their politics are, ahaha.” The female guard informed them.

Heian Ciemnosc looked at the branches on his side without changing his expression. On the other hand, Milyy narrowed her eyes while looking at them before suddenly jolting. Her eyes widened as she looked at Heian Ciemnosc before excitingly speaking to the female guard. “Uuuwh! I think I know about this! Little lady, are these flora trained with mutated Aberrations? Fauna Aberrations like insects would’ve perished long ago if they weren’t universally united. This is what I learned not long ago.”

“Hmm… I’ve heard many of our flora masters give lectures on the theories of the Aberrations, holding some similarity in their mindset, which can be reasoned with how vicious they are to any other living being. But I can’t say if it’s because of that. If you’re interested, you should check our Aberration tamers. They are a little unique in our Existence, hmhm.” The female guard said. Her words placed a confused frown on Milyy’s face. She looked at Heian Ciemnosc, but he gave him a reassuring shoulder, so she kept quiet and slightly pouted.

It wasn’t strange a mere Third Step organization didn’t know about things a talent like Hong Mei knew. Only Godly organizations would have this kind of information. As for how advanced compared to Hong Mei, who knew? Heian Ciemnosc had far too little communication with a Fourth Step organization to tell.

“Over here, please.” The female guard stepped to the side and presented Heian Ciemnosc and Milyy with a lengthy speeding spaceship. Heian Ciemnosc nodded slightly and entered, followed by Milyy, who sat on his left. There were 4 booths, with each having 4 seats. Half faced each other with a small table in the middle. After Milyy entered it, the female guard took a deep breath and said, “Young noble, if you’re interested, I can offer my personal rewards for you.”

“Come in!” Before Heian Ciemnosc could even glance at the female guard, Milyy cheeringly semi-shouted. She smiled from ear to ear, looking at the female guard, who looked at Milyy, surprised. Milyy relaxed her eyes but kept smiling and added, “My husband is complicated. If he isn’t satiated and something happens in the near future, you may have to clean blood and guts on the streets. Come in!”

“...” A little perplexed, the female guard mentally shrugged and joined the married couple. Before she could sit before Heian Ciemnosc, Milyy waved at her and said, “On his lap, let me see what you can do.”

“...” The female guard was left slightly speechless, and her chest heaved up and down slightly heavily. This was getting hot! Milyy lowered her torso and supported her chin with her left fist as her elbow rested on the table, looking at the cutie sit on Heian Ciemnosc’s lap before slowly wiggling her ass towards his crotch and leaning her back on his chest.

Heian Ciemnosc looked at the female guard, but his mind was struck with shell-shocking words from Milyy’s Soul. “This bitch just called me a snotty brat when I called her little lady. Teach her who is more mature. Someone who can take you every day, nonstop, or a trifling mortal like her. Hmph!”

‘Sigh… Well, it’s 10 minutes. That should be enough,’ Heian Ciemnosc thought as his left pale hand slowly went into the female guard’s chest. Her body started uncontrollably trembling, and before she knew it, lust and weakness overtook her as she was about to go for the ride of her life.

… 11 minutes later, on the ground, in a precinct of a merchant business from a cultivator group, Beto talked with their contractor. Heian Ciemnosc finally exited the speeding vehicle, where the guards escorting him came out with flushed faces and silently. Heian Ciemnosc’s teammates wondered why he wasn’t out yet a minute after landing. However, when they looked at Milyy’s cheeky grin and realized a female guard was missing, they kept quiet and looked elsewhere. See no evil, hear no evil…

A few seconds later, Heian Ciemnosc met with his teammates as Milyy purred for the last time and kept quiet. The carnal images of the little bitch being overtaken with her armor on and until she only kept her gauntlets and boots on while mindlessly bouncing on her husband filled her relaxation. Heian Ciemnosc ignored the glints in his teammates’ eyes and waited for Beto in silence. It didn’t take long, and Beto returned another minute later with everything prepared.

“... Alright, the precinct is big, so we’ll turn 4 in the air and 4 on the ground. We’ll change positions every 3 hours. Heian Ciemnosc, keep your wife to your side. This is a mission, remember. We’ll gain 1,000 merit points and 30 Supreme Neutral Stones from this job. It’ll only be 2 weeks and 3 days starting in an hour, so buckle up.” Beto explained. His team members nodded and responded before taking their leave. Beto walked to Heian Ciemnosc and patted his upper back. “Come with me, I’ll explain some small details to you.”

“Alright, let me explain what we’ll do the most.” Beto walked with Heian Ciemnosc as Milyy looked around and leaned on Heian Ciemnosc’s right shoulder. All 3 of them walked on the sidewalk where wheeled and flying vehicles went by. Beto started, “The merchant business here should be fine. We won’t find any trouble. If anything, a few spies might try to get in. But we’ll be paid extra if we keep things around the precinct safer. We’re like police now. Just don’t call yourself as such, or the envious pricks around here will have a reason to fine us. And that means trouble with the commander.”

“Sure, no problem.” Heian Ciemnosc blinked his darkest eyes cutely and said. Milyy’s nostrils flared open, detecting many delicious stuff everywhere in the space station. Beto looked at Heian Ciemnosc strangely and added, “Try not to become too notorious while we’re working here, alright?”

“Eh? It’s nothing like that. Someone just insulted my wife, so I insulted their right to think they’re living beings. Nothing else, oh.” Heian Ciemnosc nodded to himself after speaking with unbreakable confidence. Beto was astounded, but he didn’t try to think. Lest he became an accomplice to a debaucherous crime in the near future. Heian Ciemnosc kept a straight, innocent face, making it harder for Beto to speak of the subject.

“Alright, you’re an adult now. Just reminding you," Beto said, leaving Heian Ciemnosc's side to return to the port. The Team could all call their Fighters after getting confirmation from the space station's central command, but Beto had things to do as the team leader. Heian Ciemnosc looked at Milyy and asked her as he thought about bringing his Ornament in 40 minutes.

"Mnn. I'm hungry! I can smell some Myriad Races stall 40 km from here. Let's go!" Milyy said, salivating and showing her canines as her claws slightly peeked from the tip of her fingers. Heian Ciemnosc was dragged through the air as Milyy used a mighty speed to rush and fill her stomach. Milyy ogled a few women along the way to give his husband the filling he deserved. It wasn't that she enjoyed seeing Heian Ciemnosc with other women. Rather, she enjoyed watching him dominate others.

Fortunately for Heian Ciemnosc's mental health, she wasn't a crazy young woman, lonely and fixated on sexual, gay activity.

. . .

Heian Ciemnosc started working as a patrol shortly after arriving at the space station, not giving him enough time to venture into this new place. However, after spending the first 3 days working as intended, keeping a kitty asleep with many delicious dishes, Heian Ciemnosc saw the other side of the job.

Heian Ciemnosc began flying a little farther than the 'official' route suggested, taking detours and enjoying the gaze as he kept still and spent some time of his schedule in the air. When Heian Ciemnosc started learning the things to do while on the ground, he started dating Milyy everywhere while keeping his Spirit Sense well-spread.

Of course, he did not put all his attention in his Spirit Sense. The precinct was in a Third Step space station, and any cultivator in that Step could elude Heian Ciemnosc's Spirit Sense with just the will to. Milyy wasn't allowed to help her. It was both her mother's and husband's words, not hers. If it was up to Milyy, they would've been in the streets or bed every day without needing to worry.

Towards the end of the first week, Heian Ciemnosc knew a few local places that treated the Crimsonbreaking Faction patrolling Teams sent on a mission well. They specialized in flora salads, and Milyy, the eat-meat-only monster, enjoyed the most as if they were dessert. After Hong Mei, Milyy had a ton of fun exploring the world she always wanted to see, and she had changed a whole damn lot, too.

Heian Ciemnosc was spared not, though. Since Milyy could no longer go to the wild and find a Fauna or person to try her claws and might, she could only let it all out in other ways. One was by banging her husband and getting him to destroy her ability to reason. The other was to feel pleased and satisfied seeing his victims writhe until exhaustion and lose consciousness without being able to wake up again when he still went at it. Milyy's eyes every time she was pleased enough were unforgettable and made evil Heian Ciemnosc feel more tingles in his second brain.

Either way, as time passed and Heian Ciemnosc gained more confidence, he ventured farther from the precinct. In the second week, he began analyzing some citizens whose lives were good and peaceful until they were called for long missions or operations. The organization they were hired from wasn’t neutral or peaceful, constantly sending their people out while Heian Ciemnosc was patrolling. Everything went as peaceful as anyone could imagine, and they could only hope their first times taking jobs to be.

The second week was the calmest, and Heian Ciemnosc was treating the surrounding 200 km around the precinct as his own, coming and going from any restaurant or hotel however he wanted. But everything turned a little strange and worrisome when the 17th day since the mission started arrived. Just as Heian Ciemnosc was to spend a couple hours more before ending their patrolling, and another Team from another organization relieved them, Heian Ciemnosc found a little spy!

“...” Milyy remained silent on the seat behind him in the Ornament as he looked down at the spy who had avoided everyone’s eyes, including his team leader! Indeed, this spy was in the Third Step, but only in the first realm, and hadn’t progressed that much in her cultivation. The spy was a woman who probably broke through in the past decade or so.

At these moments, she was walking among the crowd, moving towards the precinct Heian Ciemnosc was to protect. She slowly inspected her surroundings using her naked eyesight, keeping her Spirit Sense and Soul fluctuations in check. If she didn’t, Heian Ciemnosc might’ve discovered her, but Beto and the others, except Moy, would have definitely seen through her disguise.

‘Hmm, she should’ve been acting like this since hundreds of kilometers back. I wonder how many weeks she’s spent like this.’ Heian Ciemnosc thought as he was about to call reinforcements and trap this furtive little ant. However, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at his wife. She finished eating a bar of flora chocolate that was a boom in the entire space station and said with her mouth full. “What? You want to eat her? No way! I don’t want you to! No!”

“... Am I that much of a slut to you?” Heian Ciemnosc asked, perplexed and feeling hurt. Milyy blushed and lowered her head, smiling like a devil as she let out chuckles similar to Alyona's whenever he showed her new images of one of his bedding moments in the Blauw Empire. Heian Ciemnosc shook his head, rolled his eyes, and pointed at the difficult-to-notice spy moving between the crowd. “I want you to protect me from her if she wants to terminate me. Are you willing?”

“Aaaaaah~!” Milyy sat up straight and stuck her tongue out, cleaning her face off chocolate, and nodded with an expression akin to a little girl being told to watch over a small chair for no reason. “Leave it to me! I’ll protect you. Then, what are you gonna do?”

“Just watch…” Heian Ciemnosc deviously smiled as he exited his Ornament and slowly let his dark coat flutter as he landed before the spy.

Flutter- tap, tap. Step, step, step. His Spirit Sense told him she noticed him and became alerted. But after seeing him walk away and right into an alley, she followed him within 30 meters. When she arrived at that alley and walked further deep, she saw Heian Ciemnosc with his back facing her. Heian Ciemnosc didn't turn around and said, making her frown. "I was wondering if you were alone on this. Your emblem isn't one I feared it would be. I think I was being paranoid. Do you mind talking?"

"... Who do you think I was?" The spy said, revealing her countenance and body shape as Heian Ciemnosc turned around. She was cute and alluring, perfect for getting out of situations like this in one way or another, but Heian Ciemnosc wanted neither.

"Oh, something much scarier than just 'someone' from here..." Heian Ciemnosc let it out slowly, but it was impossible for the woman to know his intention. In her stupefaction, Heian Ciemnosc walked towards her. "Since this is just a little conflict of profit and tainting another business's image, you and I talk to get something out of each other?"

"... What do you want?" The spy asked after keeping silent for a minute. Heian Ciemnosc patiently waited and nodded with an expressionless face, "You can infiltrate your target if you want. In exchange... hmm, give up a comrade of yours. I won't get anything if I help you. I need Stones, but I don't think your side is willing to give a lot for just one person. You may really become hostile if I give you a number and grade. And if I'm discovered... tss, I have a horrible commander, you know? So... rat one of your people out. I get some gifts from this organization, and nobody offends the big shots. Hm?"

"... What's your alias, Crimson?" The spy asked, slightly less tense but on guard and still not answering Heian Ciemnosc's proposal. Heian Ciemnosc slowly nodded and said, "Black monster."

"!" The spy's eyes turned round. She dropped her on-guard stance and looked at Heian Ciemnosc with her chin slightly lifted. After a minute, she said, "Good. Thirty kilometers from here, north, you'll find a young man under a parasol. Code is 'black suggestions'. He's in the Central Formation realm, so don't go alone, kid."

Step, step, step... whoosh!!! With that, the spy walked past Heian Ciemnosc, and when he scanned with his Spirit Sense behind him, she was gone. A powerful burst of wind roughly fluttered Heian Ciemnosc's dark coat as he grinned from the left corner of his mouth. Hiding in another space to Heian Ciemnosc's left, Milyy narrowed her eyes, wondering what naughtiness her husband was planning...

...
