an old Friend, and a ship full of need

At noon the next day, the party gathered at Liyue Harbor to set out for Sumeru.

the entire harem stood on the dock looking thoroughly dazed and utterly destroyed. Aether’s post-Inazuma eagerness had left every one of them walking with unsteady legs, distant eyes, and the lingering flush of women who had been fucked far past their limits the night before. Even Shenhe’s usual blank expression carried a faint trace of residual overstimulation.

Ningguang would normally have seen them off in person.

Instead, the Tianquan was still unconscious in the shattered remains of her bed back at the Jade Chamber. Hours after Aether had finally left her, her conditioned body continued to produce weak aftershock climaxes all on its own — soft, involuntary tremors and quiet moans escaping her even in sleep.

As the group made their final preparations, a familiar, sultry voice called out across the docks.

“Traveler~”

Lisa stepped into view, dressed even more revealingly than usual. The witch’s outfit had been adjusted to show far more cleavage and thigh, and a very slight, just-noticeable bump softened her lower belly — the only visible sign among the group that it had been nearly a month since Aether first knocked her up back in Mondstadt.

She walked straight up to him with that same lazy, knowing smile, green eyes half-lidded.

“I heard you were heading to Sumeru. I followed you all the way to Liyue because I wanted to ask in person…” She rested a hand lightly on her small bump. “Mind if this cutie joins you? I’ve been craving more of that special attention of yours… and I’d rather not wait in Mondstadt while you’re off collecting even more girls.”

The first woman Aether had gotten pregnant stood there openly requesting to be added to the traveling harem, completely shameless about both her condition and her desires.

Rosaria gave a tired but unsurprised snort at the women from her own regon.

Aether didn’t answer with words.

Right there on the open docks of Liyue Harbor, he simply reached down, hooked his fingers under the already-minimal fabric of Lisa’s outfit, and lifted it up. In the same motion he freed himself, and buried his entire thick cock into her warm, already-slick pussy in one smooth, deep thrust.

Lisa’s eyes flew wide. A sharp, delighted moan tore from her throat as she was suddenly filled to the hilt in full view of sailors, merchants, and his entire exhausted party.

“Mmmh—! Right here—? Bold as ever, cutie—”

Aether didn’t give her time to say more. He claimed her lips in a long, hungry kiss, tongue sliding against hers while he held her in place and started rolling his hips. The wet sound of him fucking her standing up echoed across the dock. Lisa melted into it almost immediately, arms wrapping around his neck, one leg hooked high around his waist as she took every thrust with open, shameless pleasure.

It didn’t take long.

With a final deep shove he bottomed out and unloaded, pumping a thick, welcoming creampie straight towards her already-pregnant womb. Lisa moaned into his mouth, pussy clenching greedily around him as she felt the familiar heat flooding her once again.

When he finally broke the kiss, a thin string of saliva still connected their lips. Lisa’s cheeks were flushed, eyes hazy with satisfaction, the slight bump of her belly pressed against him.

“…I’ll take that as a yes,” she purred, voice husky. “I’m coming with you to Sumeru, then.”

Aether gave her ass a firm squeeze and slowly pulled out, a heavy trickle of fresh cum immediately running down her inner thigh. Lisa didn’t bother fixing her outfit properly — she simply let it fall back into place, still disheveled, and stepped into the group as if she had always belonged there.

The moment they boarded the ship bound for Sumeru, Aether understood exactly why Ningguang had gone into a full climax frenzy the day before.

The captain was still Beidou — grinning broadly, clearly recovered from the previous voyage and already looking forward to another round of being thoroughly used.

The crew, however, had completely changed.

Every single sailor was female. And not just female — every one of them was a beauty. Not quite on the level of his main harem, but still soft, curvy, and deliberately chosen for visual appeal. They moved across the deck with practiced efficiency… while wearing the most ridiculous parody of sailor outfits Aether had ever seen.

Tiny white tops that barely contained their breasts and constantly slipped.

Micro skirts so short that the slightest breeze or bend of the waist fully exposed their bare snatches and asses.

Thigh-high stockings and little caps that somehow made the whole thing even more obscene.

As they worked the ropes, adjusted sails, and moved cargo, their outfits performed exactly as designed: constant, shameless flashing. A glimpse of pink folds here. A full view of a soft ass and dripping slit there. Nipples slipping free every time one of them stretched.

Beidou laughed at the look on his face.

“Ningguang’s orders. She said if she was going to arrange your ship, she was going to do it properly this time. Entire crew hand-picked and dressed for your viewing pleasure. They already know the real job is keeping the Traveler satisfied whenever he feels like it.”

Aether watched one particularly stacked sailor bend over to secure a line, her tiny skirt flipping up to give him a perfect, lingering view of her shaved pussy and the way it already looked a little wet.

he recognised a few of the faces from the maids that belonged to the mansion.

He finally understood the full extent of the conditioning meltdown Ningguang must have experienced while setting this up.

Every decision had probably triggered orgasm after orgasm as she tried to organize it between forced climaxes.

The Tianquan had learned from last time.

And she had gone all-out to make sure his voyage to Sumeru would be as distracting and pleasurable as possible.

Lisa, already standing close to him, eyed the flashing crew with lazy amusement.

“Well,” she murmured, resting a hand on her slight bump, “this trip is going to be fun.”
