"Why are you blushing? I told you not to get curious, yet you did," Klaus said, holding Queenie's hands as they strolled along the mountain's peak.
"You could have told me it was your... this thing." Queenie's blush deepened as she struggled to get the words out.
"Well, I got excited, and little Klaus decided to respond. It's your fault for wearing such revealing clothes—not that I'm plaining or anything." Klaus smiled mischievously.
Little Klaus had made his presence known during their kissing session, driven by Klaus's excitement. When Queenie felt it press against her thigh, her curiosity got the better of her, leading her to touch it to confirm her suspicions.
Let's just say the leader of the Overlords was utterly blown away by what she felt. The blush that had spread across her face since that moment refused to fade.
"You're wicked," Queenie pouted, her voice soft and accusatory.
"No need to look so flustered, dear. You'll be playing with it soon enough," Klaus said with a teasing laugh that echoed across the mountain peak.
Queenie could only bury her face in his neck, seeking refuge from her embarrassment as they continued to stroll through the breathtaking scenery.

The mountain peak seemed to touch the clouds.
Stunning structures, vibrant plants, blooming flowers, and carefully tended gardens created a paradise-like atmosphere.
Klaus couldn't help but be amazed by how beautifully the mountain's peak had been designed.
"This place is beautiful," Klaus said, surveying the area.
"Well, Nari seems to think living in a place surrounded by plant life will calm me down and make me more human," Queenie replied.
"Well, jokes on her. You're not human at all, am I right?" Klaus, who knew Queenie was neither human nor moonborn, smiled at her ment.
"I guess you could say that. But she was right, though. Living here, tending to the garden—it does seem to have made me more grounded."
Klaus turned and held her hand.
"You don't have to worry about that anymore. With me here, you'll transition perfectly into your Asura self without any trouble. Even if you conduct a slaughter, you won't be overwhelmed by bloodlust."
"Mmm," Queenie nodded at his words. For some reason, she felt better hearing that.
Truth be told, she had been worried about her transformation. Now, she wouldn't benefit from absorbing cores. She would only grow stronger by absorbing the blood of the monsters she killed.
This meant the more she killed, the stronger she would bee. Of course, she could still benefit if a core was filled with Blood Qi.
But the idea of depending solely on blood—it disturbed her deeply. Of course, Klaus had a solution for her, or more precisely, she would discover the solution herself soon enough.
While she would need blood to grow, there was a technique she could use to extract only the best part of it after each kill. She wouldn't have to drain blood like a vampire every time.
"Speaking of Nari, where is she now?" Klaus asked. Although she was fiery, he seemed to enjoy her pany.
"She's down there talking to your ladies," Queenie replied.
"You mean your sisters," Klaus laughed.
Queenie blushed. "I guess you could say that."
"Don't worry, they're easy to get to know and like. In fact, you should invite them here and spend some time together since I know you won't go down there."
"Why do you assume I won't go down there?" Queenie raised an eyebrow.
"Because you're too shy."
"You..." Queenie chose to ignore him.
While she is enjoying their banter, she knew Klaus would get serious soon and begin cultivating in earnest. When that happened, she wouldn't be able to see him regularly.
In a way, she'd just have to make do with her new sisters.
'I guess I'll go visit Big Sister and meet Mother-in-law. I can't believe I'm calling Klaus's mother "Mother-in-law." Who would have thought the Queenie, who never smiled at anyone, would one day have a boyfriend—and a shameless one at that?'
"Earth to Queenie. What are you thinking about in that head of yours?" Klaus snapped her out of her thoughts.
They continued strolling across the mountain peak, talking about random things. Klaus felt rather happy doing this with Queenie. It was simple—just talking, holding hands, and getting to know each other better.
He decided to do the same with the rest of his women. It would be nice to understand them more deeply before making any intimate moves.
"So, are you okay with Nari choosing to bee an instructor and, worse, living in the same room as me?" Klaus finally asked.
"What is there to be concerned about? She's your problem now. I can finally have some peace of mind here." Queenie smiled, clearly understanding what Klaus was hinting at. She wasn't about to help him deal with the fiery woman.
"You—" Klaus was dumbfounded.
'Have I been conspired against by these two vixens?'
"What, are you afraid of her?" Queenie teased him, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Tsk, scared of her? I'm more worried about impregnating her."
"Ha, good luck with that. Do you think Nari is a cookie you can crack? Let me tell you, back in college, Nari was known as the 'Boyfriend Beater.'"
"She never had a boyfriend, but if your boyfriend was cheating on you, just tell her, and she'd pay him a visit," Queenie smirked, her eyes glinting with nostalgia as she recalled the good old days.
"Oh? So, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Klaus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No. I never had the time or any reason to have one. Now that I think about it, why haven't I ever felt like all those... bitches?"
"Hey, language," Klaus said, stunned. The calm and posed Queenie, using such terms? That was definitely a new side of her.
"Whatever," Queenie said with a shrug. "My point is, Nari isn't like everyone else. If you dare make a move on her, don't say I didn't warn you. And when she starts beating you up, don't expect me to save you," she added with a sly smile.
"Tsk, I have no intention of provoking her wrath," Klaus muttered. "But if she tries anything funny, she'll end up giving birth to two phoenixes."
They continued their stroll, walking past many sights. Klaus and the senior connected, discussing ideas to help with his Illusion Class.
He could use poison to enhance its poisonous aspect, but he still lacked the element of illusion.
Of course, he had some skills and techniques at his disposal, but with the class still underdeveloped, he couldn't do much.
But from what the senior was talking about, Klaus might soon bee the best illusionist in the world. One day, he could even bee the Overlord of all illusionists, with his class leading the way.
After strolling for a while, they came to a stop in front of a field of fruits. Klaus quickly picked an apple and began chewing on it.
They moved through the field, admiring the various fruits. However, just a few minutes into the field, a new set of fruits appeared in front of them.
[Brat, this is it. This is the Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit.]
"Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit..." Klaus muttered, and Queenie's brow furrowed.
