Chapter 484: Little Jiu’s Brain Grows Back Again?
It seemed Little Jiu noticed Bai Feng’s strange expression, so she quickly shook her head, trying to straighten her face: “No, I mean, how did you lose? Did you throw the game?”
“Not at all. Do I look like someone who enjoys losing?” Bai Feng waved dismissively, “Maybe I’ve just been out of practice for a few days, and besides, didn’t you only leave a bloody shell? If it weren’t for my slight mistake at the end, who would win or lose isn’t set in stone!”
Little Jiu’s face bore a hint of suspicion, but since Bai Feng was so well disguised, she didn’t show any signs of weakening her strength. Instead, she sold a few flaws during the fight, so at most she was just mentally doubting, with no solid evidence of white Feng throwing the match.
“Alright, alright, stop making that face. You finally won, so act a little happier.” Bai Feng patted Little Jiu’s head. “By the way, since you won, I can now give you back what you lost before…”
Before Bai Feng finished, Little Jiu suddenly looked up and stared into his eyes: “I remember when you lose, you need to promise me a favor, right?”
“Exactly, but shouldn’t you first erase the conditions you promised after losing before?”
“Hmph, I’ve lost so many times before. There’s no way I can erase it all at once.” Little Jiu’s expression said, ‘I’m smart, don’t try to fool me.’ “So, I’ll pay you back a hundredfold for the ‘shame’ I’ve endured these days! Now, your body is mine!”
“…Don’t say such misleading things. Besides, your request is too much. I only got to touch your tail, ears, and other areas after winning several times. You want to swap it all just after winning once?”
Little Jiu didn’t seem surprised; she continued bargaining: “Then, give me your body for three days.”
“I already told you not to say things that could be misunderstood.” Bai Feng rubbed her little face, but this time, he didn’t refuse. “So, what do you want me to do?”
“I… haven’t thought it through yet!” Little Jiu averted her gaze slightly. “Give me some time to think. I need to come up with a plan that pays back in full and then some!”
“…I won’t do anything too excessive!”
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Although Little Jiu said that, Bai Feng was a bit skeptical. He couldn’t quite imagine what would allow her to ‘retaliate’ with a full ‘interest’ without crossing the line.
He didn’t say much, just waited to see what crazy idea Little Jiu would come up with, and so he waited an entire day.
Until nightfall, Bai Feng finished his long day’s work and prepared to sleep. Little Jiu still hadn’t suggested anything.
‘Is she planning something tonight?’ Bai Feng couldn’t help but think to himself, imagining her disturbing his sleep by pulling him into a game or something equally annoying — a typical over-the-top ‘revenge’ move.
He reached out and flipped open the quilt, only to see Little Jiu, as usual, nestled on the warm bed. When she saw Bai Feng lift the cover, she said nothing but silently stored away her Image Retainer.
“Still haven’t made up your mind? The day is almost over.”
“Hmph, just wait and see. That’s part of the punishment,” Little Jiu said, lifting her little head slightly.
…
Was this guy’s brain really growing back?
Honestly, waiting for ‘revenge’ to arrive is the most agonizing part. If she outright told him what she wanted to do, he’d probably not care as much.
Bai Feng looked at Little Jiu, feeling a bit unfamiliar. The Little Jiu from a few days ago wouldn’t be this clever. Did he overdo it these past days, making her have to actually think for herself?
“Let me tell you, even if you say nothing, I’ll be timing everything. I won’t let you drag this out forever.”
“Got it, got it. You talk a lot!” Little Jiu waved dismissively, unconcerned, which only piqued his curiosity more. Judging by her calm reaction, she probably already knew what she’d do, and even if it meant wasting a day, it was worth it for her ‘punishment.’
Bai Feng continued watching her for a moment but didn’t say anything. Based on his understanding of Little Jiu, she wasn’t the type to do really mean or nasty things, plus he had veto power. If she was about to go too far, he could stop her.
“You know what you’re doing—good. I’m going to sleep now.”
He crawled into her warm bed and grabbed Little Jiu like a pillow to drift off.
Midnight.
Little Jiu slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at Bai Feng, who was sleeping soundly, then gradually shifted into human form.
A few days ago, during her challenge against Bai Feng, she was visibly upset and hard to feel, claiming she wanted to ‘retaliate in full and in interest’ after she won. But actually, she enjoyed the act — she’d never admit it, of course.
She thought she’d lose today’s challenge like all the previous ones, but surprisingly, she won. This made her a bit lost, suspicious—no, Bai Feng *must* have thrown the game. Maybe her bet was too big, or perhaps he saw her lost too many times and just wanted to give her a little taste of happiness.
This guy had always been like that—doing some excessive things but never too over the line.
She wasn’t too bothered by it; she quickly adjusted her mood and began to enjoy her ‘victory’ — since she’d said she’d ‘retaliate’ in full, she was definitely going to follow through.
And as for what she’d do…
“You toyed with me for so long—I’m going to toy with you tonight!”
Her eyes kept scanning Bai Feng’s body — he most often ‘played with’ his tail, but humans don’t have tails, so…
She finally settled on his ears. Since there’s no tail, she’d settle for playing with his ears.
But how to ‘play’ with them?
Little Jiu placed her small hands on Bai Feng’s ears, pinched them — but felt it was pretty pointless.
“Humans’ ears are so boring.”
She retracted her hands and snuggled back into the blanket. She wasn’t giving up on resting, but instead aimed at the third most interesting spot — his belly.
“Hmm, a bit firm, but still pretty nice…”
She touched Bai Feng’s abs, mumbled to herself after massaging for a while, then her small hands mischievously started creeping upward: “Full repayment in interest — just touching your stomach isn’t enough.”
After a moment, she seemed to get bored of his chest muscles, and her hands started to get a little unruly again.
Bai Feng, who was ‘sleeping,’ sighed internally.
He couldn’t pretend anymore.
He opened his eyes directly and reached out to pull Little Jiu out of the warm bed.
“What are you doing?” Little Jiu flicked her little face in annoyance, “We agreed — within three days, I get to use your body, and I haven’t done anything too much. You rubbed my belly for so long; what’s wrong with me rubbing yours?”
