The Mage of Primordial Chaos

As we entered the Long Family residency, Qing Yue smirked and pulled out a blindfold, then handed it to me.

"Here, Big Brother Xuan Kai. Put this on."

"Huh…? Why?"

"Well, you don't have to if you don't want to, but it'll make for a better surprise factor."

"Er… okay then, I guess?" I scratched my head. "But if I'm blindfolded, how do I give out the surprises I have for you guys…?"

"Hehe, you can worry about tomorrow. For tonight… just let us service you."

Oh… I can see where this is going. Do I like it? Well… yes and no. My morals are telling me I shouldn't be looking forward to this, but my body is telling me I am.

Thankfully, my excited member was being hidden underneath my large cloak. Otherwise, if Qing Yue noticed it, she would never forget.

Taking a deep breath, I slipped on the black blindfold Qing Yue handed to me, and she led me for the rest of the way there, uttering out kind warnings like 'watch your step' and the like.

Upon reaching the quarter of the residency where the girls and I usually resided, however, Qing Yue came to a stop and let go of my arm at last.

"Wait here, Big Brother Xuan Kai. Xiuying, follow me!"

"…" Xiuying didn't question and followed, while I was left in a state of confusion. Still, it would be a lie if I said this suspense was building up quite a bit of excitement. If that was the girls' goal, well—they certainly succeeded. I also felt Lorelei climbing out of my Soul and materializing into her human form, then following Qing Yue inside. I figured she was participating in this 'surprise' for me, though I still didn't know what exactly it was.

Yami, on the other hand, also turned into his human form, but didn't follow them and instead stood by my side. What a loyal little guy.

"So? When am I getting my next training session?" He asked.

Ah. So that's what this is about.

"Relax. Before we do anything else, I still need to confirm with Lorelei just what kind of magic Soulfoxes are capable of. After that, I can begin to properly teach you and hone your skills."

"Hmph. Fine."

Suddenly, the doors swung open once more, and Yami's eyes widened.

"W-Woah…"

"Shhh," Qing Yue shushed gently with a wink. "Yami, go to the house across from this, to your right. I've already made arrangements with them—they'll take you in. Tonight, no one but Big Brother Xuan Kai can enter this manor."

"A-Ah, got it," Yami hurriedly said, strangely obedient to anyone who was not me, apparently. I heard the sound of his footsteps fade away, and then tilted my head back in Qing Yue's general direction.

"Seriously? You're sending the poor kid away?" I chuckled.

"Well, it's necessary. After all, what's inside here tonight is only for your eyes to see, Big Brother Xuan Kai…"

With a mischievous grin, Qing Yue took my hand and led me through the entrance of the house, which had an amazing aroma in the air. Once I was inside, I heard the doors closing behind me, and Qing Yue letting go of my arm to take a deep breath and stand before me.

"Alright, Big Brother Xuan Kai. You can take off the blindfold now."

"…"

Silently, I undid the knot on the back of my head, successfully taking off the black blindfold and shoving it into my cloak pocket. But when I opened my eyes… what greeted me was far beyond my expectations.

"Welcome home, master~"

All of the girls in my harem stood lined up along the walls on either side of the entranceway, smiling warmly. Qing Yue, Feng Mian, Yu An Yan, Yu An Xue, Lan Xiao Su, Zhao Xiuying, Lorelei, Mei Gui, Ling Xin, Axilia, and even Lin Luo were all there, five on each side. Qing Yue was leading them, and stood directly in front of me. But the most important part about this… was that they were all wearing classic black-and-white maid outfits.

"What's the matter, master?" Feng Mian asked with a wry smile. "Are you surprised?"

"… Is that even a question?" I muttered, laughing slightly. "This is… wow."

"I'm sure you're tired after spending a whole day out there, so allow us to take care of all your needs for tonight, master," Ling Xin said, winking flirtatiously. "Whether that is food, a hot bath or even sex… we're at your service."

"We'll help you undress," Yu An Yan said, stepping forward and moving to remove my cloak from my body. Her sister, Yu An Xue, also helped—I didn't resist.

"Now then, what would you like to do first, master?" Qing Yue asked, performing a cute yet professional curtsy. "Have dinner, take a bath, or… start with the 'action' right away?"

I guess… this is their way of welcoming me home. Well, no reason to hold back. They must've already made a decision for themselves, so me showing hesitation now would only be doubting them, which was the one thing I wanted to avoid. Might as well just enjoy this.

I snickered as the two Yu sisters hung my coat up onto the rack nearby.

"The night is long. There's plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, isn't that right?"

The maids all smiled collectively, some lewd and others timid, but the words that came out of their mouths were one and the same.

"Yes, master~!"

*****

"… Wow."

As I sat down in the luxurious, throne-like chair at the dining table, I couldn't help but gasp at all the delicacies placed down. The dishes were beautifully laid out on a pure-white tablecloth, and organized expertly for maximum pleasure to the eyes. A variety of colors were mixed together, and even without being some kind of top-tier chef, I could tell just how much effort was put into all of this.

"We all worked together to prepare this feast tonight, master," Mei Gui said, biting her bottom lip and blushing as she averted her gaze. "I… I am not good at cooking, b-but… Q-Qing Yue taught me…"

I smiled warmly and patted her hair. "Don't worry about it, Mei Gui. You'll get better with practice. But that aside… are you okay with all the other girls calling me master like this? You were really defensive about it earlier…"

Mei Gui met my gaze briefly, then pouted and looked away once more.

"They asked me with such sincerity… so I said just for today."

Hearing this, I gave a chuckle. "So, my Mei Gui is capable of showing kindness as well, huh?"

"Of course she can!" Qing Yue exclaimed, sitting down in the seat directly adjacent from mine. "But that aside… if you don't eat soon, the food's going to get cold…"

I nodded. "Wouldn't want to let all of your hard work get wasted. But let's be real here… there's way too much food. Even if I only grabbed a single bite of all these dishes, I would be full before even touching my rice. What are you guys just standing around for? Go and grab yourselves some utensils as well. C'mon."

"Yes, master!" The girls hurried off and happily brought out some rice for themselves from the cooker, then each grabbed a seat with the exception of Mei Gui and Lorelei, who didn't need to eat human food. Instead, they worked on giving me a massage with perfect technique, making me wonder when the hell they got the time to learn this. But hey, I wasn't about to complain.

"Ah… that's the spot," I muttered, then shook my head. "Whew… okay. Let's dig in."

*****

"… Mm. That was the best meal I've ever had," I said, leaning back in my seat. Then, turning to Mei Gui and Lorelei who were still massaging my shoulders, I tilted my head a little. "You two… are not tired?"

Both shook their heads simultaneously.

"No, master," Mei Gui said. "We enjoy doing this, so please do not worry about it."

"Lorelei lives to serve master."

"Right… but don't overwork yourselves," I said. "If you are feeling tired, just take a break."

The two nodded, but neither made a move to stop the massaging. I sighed. They're hopeless… but I could appreciate that loyalty and dedication.

"Alright… now that the food is done, it's time to initiate Phase Two of the night," Qing Yue said with a wink, standing up. "Follow us, master. We will help you clean your body."

"Really? I can do that myself, you know…"

"Master~ let us do it, just for tonight," Axilia said, licking her lips seductively. "After all… we need to take a bath, too~"

I chuckled and stood up from my seat. 

Like hell this is just going to be a bath… but I'm pretty full of energy anyway. This might be a good opportunity to let some off.

With that, the girls, still in their sexy maid outfits, led me towards the bathroom. Inside was a swirling portal gate. But where did it lead, I wonder?

"After you, master~"

Not wasting any time, I stepped through.

And on the other side… was a hot spring.
