"Why is he here?"
Rati wondered as her mind fell to chaos. Although Kama's visit was by itself nothing spectacular, the timing was distressing, to say the least. Moreover, she was now supposed to be tending to her father's injuries, and prepare the chamber for his next ten thousand years of seclusion. Knowing Kama, he would have given her at least a day to handle all those before showing himself.
This was out of character. But as Rati debated how to answer, the amused Konrad's lips curved into a smile. Kama's impromptu visit was not merely something he'd anticipated, he also knew the reason behind. Following the Essence Nurturing Forest's Calamity, knowing that the new powers dwarfed all his plans, Surya resolved to take drastic measures and gave his little brother, Kama, explicit orders.
"Little brother, kill Daksha and seize control of the Sea Dream Temple's treasury. I have dire needs for their Dream Stone and God-Jade reserves. My Primal Sun Lotus nears full maturation, using the Dream Stone and God-Jades, I can weave a formation to amplify the results. Now that the restrictions are lifted, to say nothing of the peak of the Legendary God rank, if everything goes according to plan, I can get half-step into the Overgod rank within ten thousand years.
As for you, with Daksha out of the way, you no longer have any threat looming over you and can rule the Sea Dream Temple alongside Rati. Don't worry, I will help you shift the blame on the Chthonian Primogen. Afterward, my breakthrough will enable me to make you a whole man again."
Those were Surya's precise orders. Orders that at first filled Kama with complicated emotions. After all, though he didn't bear any good feeling toward Daksha and surely hoped to see him dead, at the end of the day, he was Rati's father. If exposed, she'd never forgive him.
But then he realized that Surya's assistance ensured that Regardless of how things went, he could control the outcome. Not only control it, but even regain the lost part of himself in a short time. How could he reject it? This was not just an opportunity, it was the opportunity!
It didn't take long before Kama agreed, and to make the operation a success, Surya bestowed upon him his strongest eight-star God Artifact. Imbued by Surya's Truth Wielding, it would allow Kama to control all variables. And knowing he was about to betray his love, a rollercoaster of emotions swept Kama's heart, and against his better judgment, he rushed toward her, using the Truth Artifact to locate her exact location.
Little did he know that Konrad grasped the whole matter.
"Rati?"
Again, Kama's voice echoed, and this time the tone carried plain puzzlement. Having no other recourse, the flurried devi spun toward Konrad.
"You need to leave, now!"
She murmured while falling into a false cultivation stance, crossing her legs and closing her eyes in a lotus stance to deceive Kama into thinking her in a deep trance. Alas, konrad shook his head.
"I'm not going anywhere. In fact, let's make this more interesting."
Konrad replied and while sneaking behind the alarmed Rati, snapped his fingers. Prompted by a sudden impulse, Kama shoved the door open, rushing into the room with anxious eyes. As Konrad lowered his chin against her left shoulder and nestled his face with hers, Rati's heart almost ruptured.
But strangely, as Kama swept the scene and eyed her "silently cultivating form" from head to toe, he showed no reaction. It was as if the form of Konrad pressed against her wholly eluded him. Realizing the nefarious philanderer must have played tricks, Rati inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. But at that time, Konrad wrapped his hands around her waist and trailed his tongue across her slender neck while Kama stepped increasingly closer toward her.
Rati's heart rate broke the sound barrier, while breath shortness assailed her. Her eyes opened wide and she gasped for breath!
"Ahh…ahh…ahh…"
The astounded devi panted, inwardly cursing heavens for placing the embodiment of decadence in her path. Alarmed, Kama believed Rati neared cultivation deviation, rushed to her side, and attempted to hold her hands within his. But afraid of revealing the turbulences within her pulse, Rati avoided the hand grasp, causing Kama's face to contort into a frown.
But as soon as it flashed, it dispersed.
"Love, what is wrong with you?"
Kama inquired in an urgent tone demanding explanations. However, no reply came from Rati's lips. Instead, her face flushed red, and her panting intensified. And with Konrad languorously kissing her cheeks, neck, and shoulders, how else could it be?
Worse, the devilish creature's hands cupped her cantaloupe-sized breasts, applying only enough pressure that with her panting and heaving chest. Kama would not notice the cupping. But little did Rati expect that Konrad would push the vice to the next level and pinch her nipples!
"Ahh…cultivation error…cultivation error…"
Rati attempted to stifle her moan, but how could Kama not notice the strange intonations within her breath? Was it possible that out of sexual frustration, she resorted to a new kind of self-pleasuring technique?
As his thoughts neared that territory, Kama's frown returned, and as if to help him onto that road, Konrad freed one of Rati's fully erect nipples, and lowered the free hand onto her crotch, tracing his finger across her rising clit before lowering it on her labia, all through the fabric of her pants.
At first, it was but a casual trailing, but Rati could already feel jolts of electricity assail her from inside. It was as if every single one of Konrad's fingers induced vibration waves meant to heighten sexual pleasure. Meanwhile, he still played her left breast as his tongue and lips danced on her neckline.
"Aaah…."
Rati released an involuntary moan, this time without concealment. Kama staggered on his seat. And going a step further, Konrad pressed his fingers on the devi's lower lips, teasing them with a gradual rubbing while the formless vibration waves carried on with their assault.
Now, as if oblivious to Kama's presence, Rati wantonly panted.
"Ooh…ooh…ohhh!"
The moans left no room for interpretation and Kama rose in outrage!
"Rati, what the hell are you doing?! I may not be able to…not be able to perform in other departments, but if you need release, you can just ask me! How can you resort to such techniques in my presence?!"
The deva snarled in a mixture of rage, shame, and indignation. Rati, however, failed to understand the words, and clenched her now moistening inner thighs as she tensed in an impending orgasm.
"Ooooohhh!"
A wave of bliss swept over the devi's mind, and as she shuddered in her orgasm, she arched her back, her lips curved into an "O" shape, and she collapsed in Konrad's grasp.
"You!"
Kama growled in humiliation, and red with shame, turned heels to bolt past the door! With a smirk, Konrad lowered the still trembling devi onto the bed, and pulled up her belly shirt to release those ample breasts of hers.
"Now, now, let's move on to the main course."
