When Yijinmo opened her eyes again.
She found herself lying on a soft, fluffy bed, a pleasant fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose, and the pristine white ceiling above her was utterly unfamiliar.
Hmm…
Could it be that she’s been reincarnated again?
After all, she hadn’t slept in such a comfortable bed in her entire life—boohoo.
“Swish—”
Someone pulled open the curtains, and the gentle morning light softly spilled into the room, as if draping a thin veil over the black-haired girl.
“Good morning, Mrs. Luo.”
“Mm, good morning…”
“Wait, what?!”
Startled, Yijinmo quickly shrank to the corner of the bed, her delicate red eyes cautiously eyeing the silver-haired figure sitting at the bedside.
Luo Shiyun still wore a smile, clearly quite satisfied with the girl’s response.
“Where is this…?”
“My house—and also our future wedding room.”
“Ahaha…”
Seeing the thin silk nightgown on the other, Yijinmo remembered—she remembered everything.
Last night, she’d thrown up all over Miss Luo again!
Seriously, who else could manage that?
“I’m sorry, Miss Luo, I didn’t do it on purpose last night…”
“It’s alright, I understand. I was also wrong. I tried to take you away without listening to your explanation. That’s not something a proper wife should do.”
“Next time, I’ll be sure to patiently listen to everything you want to say.”
With that, she leaned over onto the bed, pressing down on Yijinmo, and gently took the girl’s slender hand.
The scent on Luo Shiyun was a bit like a flower bud about to bloom in the early morning—moist, fresh, and carrying a faint tartness that suited her perfectly.
Because they were so close, in order to avoid the kind of accidental kisses that always happened in those raunchy comics, Yijinmo tried her best to lie lower, but Miss Luo seemed even more excited, insisting on moving closer to her lips.
Her face flushed, and with no way to retreat, Yijinmo finally had to reach out and push her away.
“Lo-Luo… Miss Luo… This isn’t okay…”
“You’re my Mrs. Luo, what’s not okay about it?”
“I already told you, I’m not your brainless wife!”
“Hmm… I think I get it now. Is this what they call being tsundere?”
“Absolutely not!!”
…
Miss Luo’s residence was a small villa, but it wasn’t as luxurious as Yijinmo had initially imagined.
In fact, it felt rather simple, and there weren’t any maids bustling about.
Miss Luo lived here alone, which seemed a bit lonely.
Looks like Miss Luo just has a little bit of money—not some kind of super big shot.
Yijinmo let out a small sigh of relief.
“This is breakfast, please enjoy.”
“Thank you.”
The two sat facing each other in the dining room.
The breakfast wasn’t exactly lavish, but for someone like Yijinmo, who could barely scrape together enough for a meal, it was already a rare treat.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s really good!”
Luo Shiyun wasn’t actually that good at cooking, but to satisfy her wife, she’d gotten up early to learn how to make century egg and lean pork congee.
She tried it herself… and honestly didn’t find it much different from other foods, but she still wanted to hear her dear wife’s opinion.
“It tastes even better than the ones at restaurants outside.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Of course it is!”
With both hands resting under her chin, sapphire eyes narrowed slightly, she admired the black-haired girl eating like a little beast.
So cute. She really wanted to pinch her wife’s cheeks.
But Luo Shiyun only dared to think about it in her heart.
If she actually did it, she’d probably scare her again.
After cuddling Yijinmo to sleep last night, she was already satisfied.
At least for a while, she wouldn’t pounce on her wife like a crazed fangirl again.
“I’m full, thank you for the meal, Miss Luo~”
“You’re welcome.”
Rubbing her little belly, Yijinmo leaned back in her chair with a look of contentment.
“Miss Luo, don’t you live with your family?”
“I transferred here from Chao Ge a few years ago, so I live here alone.”
“Wow, I didn’t expect Miss Luo to be a Chao Ge lord.”
“…Is that another strange nickname?”
“Ahaha, don’t mind it, don’t mind it.”
Divine Capital Chao Ge was the capital of all Dongzhou, its status self-evident. People from there always carried themselves with pride, so outsiders liked to jokingly call them ‘Chao Ge lords.’
It was a kind of regional teasing.
“By the way, where did Vita go? Have you seen her, Miss Luo?”
“Vita?”
“Yeah, my friend—the Pink-haired Loli.”
“Last night, I only found you. I didn’t see her.”
After the girl threw up on her, Luo Shiyun had just hailed a cab and gone straight home.
There hadn’t been a third person at all.
“Huh?”
“Where’s my phone?!”
“I have it.”
Receiving her phone from Luo Shiyun, Yijinmo immediately dialed Vita’s number.
After a few rings, the call finally connected.
“Hello, Vita?”
“What’s up, little minnow Yijie? Don’t tell me you only remembered your bestie after the Benefactor Lady bullied you to tears?”
“She didn’t bully me!”
“Then you must be really happy, right? See, I told you, just give in to the young lady, it’s not like it’s a bad thing…”
“Stupid Vita, listen to me first, seriously!”
“Where did you go last night? Why did you suddenly disappear?”
“Of course, after I bought pads, I saw that you’d already been whisked away by the Benefactor Lady. How could I interrupt your good thing, right?”
The loli explained absentmindedly into the phone as she slowly walked into a long-abandoned factory.
Unlike her usual casual clothes, she was now wearing an exquisite dress, and her sweet pink hair was tinged with a strange crimson.
Her dainty shoes stepped on the dirty, grimy floor, yet the filth didn’t cling to her at all.
“So are you at home now?”
“Of course! Where else could I be—out disciplining naughty kids?”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. See you tonight, Yi-jie~”
Before Yijinmo could say anything else, the call was already cut off.
Vita lifted her gaze, glancing at the three black shadows ahead.
They were dressed differently and each stood in a different pose, but the one thing they shared was their wariness toward the pink-haired bundle before them.
“…Tentacle Monster, we’ve always minded our own business. My sisters and I never messed with you!”
“Ah, that’s true.”
“Then why are you coming for us?!”
“Because I was bored. Is that not allowed?”
“You wretched thing, don’t underestimate the bonds between us!!”
Suddenly, one of them made a move.
Steel bars hidden beneath the ground shot out, forming a spiky steel forest that separated the loli from them.
Right after, a wild gust blew in from outside the factory, threading through the gaps in the steel, carrying with it sharp, crystal-clear ice spikes.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”
Pink tentacles burst out from beneath the cute dress.
Though they looked soft and tender, they deftly blocked every attack.
The ice spikes bounced off as if striking steel plates, unable to penetrate the solid defense at all.
But Vita’s counterattack had only just begun.
The tentacles under her skirt suddenly grew wildly, swelling several times larger and wrapping the petite loli in the center, then forming into a ball, charging straight at the barricade of steel bars.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!!”
Those seemingly sturdy steel bars crumpled like paper under the tentacles’ rampage, and in the blink of an eye, Vita had already cut down more than half.
“Boss, what do we do!!”
“Don’t panic!”
“I still have my trump card!”
The ice-blue monster girl mustered her courage and took a step toward the terrifying pink creature before her.
Her two little sisters behind her were also inspired by her momentum!
“Great Tentacle, have mercy on us! We know we were wrong! Please stop, please stop—!!”
The boss’s trump card was actually begging for mercy!!
Seeing her two sisters still foolishly frozen in place, the Ice Spike Monster decisively kicked each of them.
“If you don’t want to get turned into plushies by the Great Tentacle, get down and beg already, idiots!!”
“Yes!!”
