Chapter 113: Sometimes, Playing Dumb is Necessary
“Hmm, hmm, so that’s how it’s done?”
“Exactly! What’s your biggest advantage? Show off your charm and make them completely infatuated, so they’ll never want to leave you.”
“I understand, thank you, Sister Ailin.”
Aierjisi nodded, being the earliest player in this world, she had way more experience than me. Calling her ‘sister’ was definitely appropriate.
“Uh? It seems someone is coming.”
Ailin seemed to notice something and turned her head toward the door. She could hear people talking on the other side.
“Yo, Aier, Ailin! You two are here soaking too!”
“Sorry to interrupt you both. We’ll head over to the guys’ side soon.”
Arthur and Yake ran past them straight into the boys’ bathing area.
“Tch, Yake showed up. Looks like we can’t continue this topic. But I’ve learned a lot, thanks for your guidance, Sister Ailin.”
“You’re welcome! I’m just glad to help. By the way, do you want me to scrub your back? It feels great while soaking.”
“Let’s skip that for now. We’ve already soaked way too long. Next time, I’ll definitely let you scrub my back, Sister Ailin.”
“Alright, it’s a deal! Next time, I’ll make sure to enjoy that smooth back of yours.”
“Ugh! Please don’t say such normal things in a creepy tone.”
“I was just trying to joke around!”
“That joke isn’t funny at all. I’ll take my leave now. Goodbye.”
“Well… never mind, Aier, wait for me! I’ll leave with you.”
If I were the only dragon here, I could keep soaking.
But now, with two big guys, Yake and Arthur, in the boys’ bath, it didn’t feel right for a lady dragon to continue soaking here. Better to leave together.
“Then hurry up, why are you just sitting there?”
“I want to get up quickly too, but the hot water is so comfortable! If I stand up, I’ll feel cold and not want to get out.”
“Come on, are you kidding? You, an Ice Dragon Clan princess, are afraid of the cold?”
“What’s wrong with that? Ice Dragons aren’t immune to cold. If conditions allowed, don’t you think we’d want to live somewhere warm? It’s just that this is the only place we can stay quietly!”
If we could compete for territory with other dragon clans, the Ice Dragon Clan wouldn’t be holed up in a million-year snow mountain.
Besides, who said Ice Dragons can’t be afraid of the cold? All living beings fear cold; it’s common sense!
“Um… so what now? How long do you plan to soak in this bath?”
“Just wait a minute, I’m almost done.”
Ailin closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to adjust whatever was inside her. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and flew out of the bath.
“Ahh… so cold, so cold!”
The moment she landed, Ailin started shivering uncontrollably, muttering how cold it was.
“Alright, hurry and get dressed. Are all you dragons really that sensitive to the cold?”
The temperature in the bathroom felt perfectly fine to me, but Ailin was acting as if she was in a blizzard. That didn’t seem quite right.
“Pretty much. We dragons are sensitive to temperature changes. Coming out from a warm bath like this is quite uncomfortable for me.”
“That’s really… why don’t I help you get dressed?”
Looking at her current state, I guessed the dragon couldn’t dress herself. I had to lend a hand.
“Thanks.”
“Okay, time to dress you. Don’t move around too much!”
Aierjisi helped Ailin get dressed, finishing in less than three minutes.
“Ah, now I feel much better, thank you!”
“Such a small thing isn’t a big deal, but there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“What’s that?”
“Why are your measurements so big?!”
Aierjisi reached out with her Magic Claw and squeezed Ailin’s sizable chest, just putting a little pressure on it.
“Yah!”
Ailin gasped, unable to help her surprised outburst as her chest was squeezed.
“What are you doing? Let go!”
“Why, why are you the only one getting so big? Both me and Weirafiya are flat…”
As Aierjisi released her grip, she knelt on the floor, looking as if she had just suffered an unimaginable blow.
“It’s just because you two haven’t grown to that level yet! I’ve already been in this world for about 30 years. Isn’t it normal for my chest to be a little bigger than yours?”
Ailin covered her chest and quickly retreated, watching Aierjisi warily, afraid she’d attack again.
“But… didn’t I mention that your situation is different? This body is already 1100 years old, yet it’s still like this! At this rate, when will I ever catch up with you?!”
Aierjisi looked completely defeated. Why was the development speed of the Blood Clan so slow…?
“Well… take your time. There’s no rush. Eventually, you’ll be just as stunning as I am; it’s just that it’ll take a while for you.”
Ailin bent down to comfort Aierjisi. It wasn’t anyone’s fault; she just developed too quickly.
And honestly… wasn’t this the character she chose?
Once you pick a character, you shouldn’t envy others’ choices. If you pick a flat-chested character, you should soldier on through the tears of blood. That’s what it truly means to be a player!
“Looks like that little princess of yours just did something incredible.”
Meanwhile, in the boys’ bath, Arthur and Yake heard their earlier conversation.
“Shut up! It’s better to play dumb about some things. That’s a lesson I learned through blood.”
Yake knew well what he should and shouldn’t know. Sometimes, living in this world, playing dumb is an essential skill.
If I told the little princess about this, she’d probably come at me with an A-level memory erasure spell, physical edition.
No, she definitely would!
