[EARLY ACCESS] SHRINK IMPACT | GENSHIN IMPACT - CHAPTER 52
🕑 Added 2025-10-03 06:46:53 +0000 UTCNingguang was starting to crack.
She kept her back straight, her voice even, but inside her composure was fraying thread by thread. The urges sheâd tried to ignore, the strange new desires gnawing at her, wouldnât leave her alone.
The plan, laid out with such urgency, had been simple enough: confront the Cloud Retainer right away. Ganyu was more insistent than anyone had ever seen her, Xinyan and Hu Tao were uncharacteristically quiet with worry, and Monaâstill pale, still shakingâhad agreed without hesitation.
No one doubted the danger. Too many tiny lives were still unaccounted for.
But the final word had been Ningguangâs. And with her usual poise, smoothing the silk at her wrists, she declared:
âTomorrow. At dawn we convene, and we will decide the safest course. Tonight, rest.â
They believed her. They always did. She was Ningguangâshe was authority itself. Who would question her?
Yet the moment her doors closed behind them, her carefully built mask shattered. Heat rose in her chest, shameful and unrelenting. It was hunger, it was curiosity, it was something she hadnât dared put a name to.
On her vanity sat the velvet box. Small, silent, impossible to ignore. Despite how hard she may have tried.
Her hand shook a little when she unclasped it, the faint click echoing in the stillness. Inside, curled together in exhaustion, you and Mona lay on crimson silk. So small. So fragile. So close she could hear the faint catch of your breath.
âRest,â she whispered, her voice softer than she meant. âYou neednât fear me.â
Her hands hovered over you both, trembling for once, unsure. She shouldnât. She knew she shouldnât. But the sight of you pressed against one another, weak and defenseless, stripped every last defense she had.
She slipped a finger between your bodies. You clung to her nail instinctively, so light she barely felt it. She lifted you slowly, holding her breath until you were level with her lips.
ââŠSo fragile,â she murmured, eyes wide. âAnd yetâŠâ
Her tongue moved before she could stop it, brushing across your tiny stomach. Just a flick, just the barest tasteâbut enough to make you jolt awake with a gasp.
Ningguangâs breath caught. The taste of your skinâsalty, faintly sweet, aliveâshot straight through her. She almost lost herself in the urge to take you further, to press you into her mouth and feel you against her tongue. But she stopped, trembling with restraint.
âDonâtâdonât do that!â Monaâs voice cut sharp from the box. Her cheeks were flushed red, her hands gripping the velvet. âPut them down right now!â
Ningguang glanced at her, and the look she gave was slow, predatory. âYouâre jealous.â
Mona sputtered, almost stamping her little foot. âI am not! Weâre justâweâre sick of giants treating us like toys!â
But the way her thighs pressed together told another story, and Ningguang saw it. Internally, Mona cursed herself too. It was strange for her to feel this way. Like something had changed, and likely not for the better.
Was she starting to get weirdly used to this treatment? Even though she protested so adamantly against it? Even though ultimately she wanted you to be safe?
She sincerely hoped that wasnât the caseâŠ
Ningguang seriously considered for a moment, doing more. She could, if she really wanted to. After all, who would oppose her? The world was her oyster, in so many waysâŠ
She drew in a long breath, steadying herself, before lowering you gently back into the box. Her fingertip lingered a moment longer than necessary, stroking your chest, savoring the shiver that ran through you.
You and Mona clung to each other, shaken, unsure who you could trust anymore. You noticed the way she was a little flustered, having just watched that happen to you, and for just a moment, you considered saying something.
âŠBut decided against it. Surely not, right?
Ningguang leaned back, her pulse quick and heavy, heat curling through her.
âTomorrow,â she whispered, half to herself, âweâll confront Cloud Retainer. Weâll set this right.â
It was a lie, and she knew it. Perhaps she would confront them, sure. But she had no intentions of changing you two back to normal, not now that this secret part of herself had been so convenientlyâŠawakened.
But she could pretend so. Until she ultimately got what she wanted.
She brushed her lips against the rim of the velvet box before snapping it closed with a soft click.
ââŠBut tonight,â she breathed into the dark, flushed and trembling, âtonight, youâre mine.â
