At night, Akio gazed tenderly at Raiden Ei, who was wrapped in a blanket. Her smooth purple hair cascaded down, and her fair, delicate skin was irresistible.
"Is this how humans reproduce?" Raiden Ei asked softly, breathing lightly as she looked at Akio.
"Yes, does it feel good?" Akio nodded with a smile.
"Mmm. It's a very strange feeling," Raiden Ei's face still carried a faint blush, but she showed no shyness. She nodded honestly and said, "I like this feeling."
"I like it too," Akio smiled. The experience with an Archon was truly different! It was an ultimate experience, something no one else could provide!
"Shall we go again?" Akio asked with a grin.
"Sure," Raiden Ei nodded. "I belong to you now. You can have my time whenever you want!"
"!" Although Raiden Ei said this in a calm tone, at this moment, her words were incredibly moving.
A strong sense of accomplishment surged in Akio's heart. He pulled the blanket over them, covering both of them.
In the next room, Yae Miko and Kitsune Saiguu pressed their fox ears against the wall, eavesdropping.
"Wow! It's starting again, it's starting again," Yae Miko patted Kitsune Saiguu and said.
"I hear it," Kitsune Saiguu nodded in amazement. "Goodness, is this what it's like for an Archon? We both know how strong Akio is. It's hard to satisfy him. The first time, I was so tired that I stayed in bed for half the next day!"
"Ei actually has so much stamina?" Kitsune Saiguu waved her hand. "I can't compare! An Archon is an Archon! Even in this, she's so energetic."
"Goodness! It's terrifying," Yae Miko exclaimed while listening. "I'm so jealous of Ei! She must be enjoying the ultimate pleasure right now."
"Hey, hey, Lady Saiguu, next time, let's do it together?" Yae Miko said with a mischievous grin.
"You really dare to say anything," Kitsune Saiguu shyly patted Yae Miko. "Let's just keep it between us. Don't say it out loud."
"Then it's settled!" Yae Miko giggled mischievously.
…
The night passed quickly, and sunlight slipped through the cracks of the window, shining on Akio's face.
"Yawn~" Akio yawned and sat up. Although he didn't need to sleep after becoming a god, he still had the habit of sleeping.
"Huh? Where's Ei?" Akio noticed that Raiden Ei wasn't in the bed, even though they had fallen asleep in each other's arms last night.
After getting dressed, Akio walked out and saw Raiden Ei practicing her sword techniques in the open area of the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Akio had forgotten that Ei possessed the most refined martial skills, and her peak prowess came from years of accumulation.
The shrine maidens nearby stood watching in admiration as Raiden Ei practiced her swordplay! Their Shogun-sama was truly heroic and majestic!
"Lord Akio!" Kuki Miyuki, who was also watching Raiden Ei practice, saw Akio and quickly ran over, handing him a pancake.
"Thank you, Miyuki," Akio took the pancake and started eating.
"Hehe," Kuki Miyuki smiled happily as she watched Akio eat the pancake she had made. Indeed, her cooking skills were good enough to catch Lord Akio's attention.
Before long, Raiden Ei finished her training. She sheathed her naginata and walked over to Akio.
"Akio, you've been slacking off! Strength requires constant training," Raiden Ei said seriously.
"It's fine, Ei. My power doesn't come from martial skills," Akio waved his hand while munching on the pancake. "You're a warrior, but I'm more of a mage."
Although Akio's main abilities came from the Herrscher of the Void, and he claimed not to be skilled in close combat, his formidable physique meant he had no fear of close-range enemies. At worst, he could just throw wild punches and overwhelm his opponent.
"Ding~ Detected observation of Raiden Ei's martial training. Unlocked Fu Hua's ten thousand years of martial experience. Unlocked: Edge of Taixuan Sword Intent - Five Rhythms Perfected"
In an instant, a vast amount of combat experience flooded Akio's consciousness. With the system's help, Fu Hua's ten thousand years of combat experience became a part of his body.
"Wow!" Akio exclaimed inwardly.
"Hmm?" Almost immediately, Raiden Ei sensed the change in Akio. She asked, "Akio, has your power recovered a bit more?"
"Thanks to you, I've regained my martial memories," Akio smiled.
"Oh?" Raiden Ei became intrigued and invited, "Akio, how about we spar?"
"Sure," Akio, having just acquired martial skills, naturally wanted to test them out. He quickly finished the pancake and walked with Raiden Ei to the open area.
Neither of them planned to use their true power. This was purely a martial arts spar, so there was no need to worry about causing any collateral damage.
Through this spar, Akio truly understood the value of Fu Hua's martial skills! It was mastery of all weapons!
Even Raiden Ei, who was hailed as the pinnacle of martial arts in Teyvat, was completely outmatched. All her moves were effortlessly countered by Akio.
With a final Cloud Hand, Akio pushed Raiden Ei back a meter, ending the match with her defeat.
"Indeed! My martial skills still aren't perfect!" Raiden Ei said seriously. She looked at Akio and said, "Akio! What technique did you use just now? Teach me! This technique is ever-changing and incredibly profound."
"Of course," Akio was more than happy to share his martial skills with his wife.
…
"I see," Raiden Ei nodded as Akio explained. After all, she was skilled in martial arts, and with Akio's explanation of the essence, she quickly grasped the intricacies.
Time flew by, and soon it was noon. Seeing the two still engrossed in martial arts, Yae Miko pulled them away for lunch. After lunch, Raiden Ei dragged Akio to ask more about martial techniques.
In the afternoon, the agreed-upon time was approaching. Akio checked the time and said to Raiden Ei, who was still practicing, "Ei, I'm going to meet Yoimiya now. Keep practicing, and if you have any questions, let me know when I get back."
"Alright~ Go ahead," Raiden Ei nodded. She would take this time to practice the techniques Akio had just taught her.
This afternoon truly made Raiden Ei admire Akio. She hadn't expected him to possess such powerful and profound martial skills!
One technique, called Tai Chi, seemed weak but could unleash astonishing power. This was a martial art she had never even imagined.
