As a Pillow Princess, Xu Chuyao legally enjoyed the right to be a slacker in bed. She just had to lie there, letting her body’s instincts take care of everything else.
So, she didn’t need to learn, didn’t need to practice, and didn’t need to improve.
But at the same time, as a beautiful and kind-hearted villainous young lady, she understood that Shen Ning, the one who took action in bed, needed to absorb knowledge and expand her practice. Therefore, she couldn’t help but seek out opportunities to learn everywhere.
Well, mainly because this kind of thing no longer carried any villain points, or else Chuyao would have had her find a crack in the ground to hide in.
“This is the place.”
“Finger-sized Wuyuan? What… a ridiculous name.”
It wasn’t intentional, but Xu Chuyao’s casual remark made her girlfriend’s handsome face flush red.
It felt like being caught cheating on a test by the teacher and then being asked where the cheat sheet was bought.
In broad daylight or more accurately, late morning—the Lesbian Bar naturally didn’t have much business, with only the staff switching shifts and cleaning inside.
“Come in. Oh, it’s you again, here to buy water… Pineapple Soda?”
Shen Ning’s visits weren’t frequent, but she came every few days, mainly to buy a box of Pineapple Soda to take back. Red Sister already regarded her as a regular customer. She greeted her and was about to continue working when she suddenly noticed a girl accompanying the young lady.
Especially pretty, with a big chest and long straight black hair, looking very obedient.
“Shen Ning, is this your…?”
The girl silently nodded and then found a seat by the window. She sat down, clasping her hands together, visibly embarrassed.
“No need to be embarrassed. Since you’re here, this place happens to have rooms and equipment.” The Sexually Repressed Shadow tapped the window hoarsely, “Bring Chuyao inside and enjoy!”
It was clear that the repression level had risen a bit recently. During the Milestone System’s cooldown period, this was probably its most urgent demand.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Reflection tried, to the window it was just a harmless breeze. Outsiders couldn’t even hear the sound.
“Yes, I’m Xu Chuyao. I had no idea there was a bar like this here.”
A truly niche hidden gem.
Red Sister brought over the Pineapple Soda drinks, just as Chuyao finished smoking a cigarette. Upon learning that she wanted to take a tour, Red Sister led the girl around the bar.
“The main hall naturally has many seats, but most people who come here head straight for the main attraction—the rooms inside and upstairs. If you see someone sitting outside, they’re either scouting or freshly single. The drinks at the bar are expensive, while Pineapple Soda is more affordable. But honestly, it doesn’t have much of an obvious effect. Its taste varies from person to person; it’s more about psychological impact—you know, mental placebo.”
Red Sister showed Xu Chuyao around, letting her see the items in the pink rooms. It was dazzling—like an arsenal.
“There are so many kinds of stuff here.”
“Exactly. Interested in buying a few?”
Xu Chuyao shook her head, clasping her hands around her knees. “Shen Ning’s skills cost way more than these things can compete with.”
Hearing her girlfriend’s proud praise, the girl lowered her head even further.
She really wanted to go back to school.
Luckily, Xu Chuyao’s tour ended quickly, and the two left carrying a box of Pineapple Soda.
“Not bad.” She nudged her girlfriend’s ribs. “You found this place just to practice, so you could deal with me.”
Shen Ning’s ears burned a little.
“That’s what you said—you said I wouldn’t know this or that, so I had no choice but to learn.”
“So you really listen to me, huh~”
“Yes, of course, I have to listen to Chuyao.” The Milky Ning Reflection said, “Who doesn’t listen? I listen too. Being obedient is the right thing to do. You must obey, not disobey.”
For the first time, Shen Ning realized the Reflections suddenly turning red wasn’t a bad thing. They helped divert some attention, so her ears didn’t burn as much.
After having lunch outside, Xu Chuyao had no time to slack off. She was invited to the Security Department to give a “lecture.”
Center City’s Security Department had once been the guardian of this city. The building wasn’t tall—only a few floors—but it was wide and impressive. Two stone lion statues stood at the entrance.
However, after numerous incidents and several restructurings, the Security Department appeared somewhat desolate.
“May I ask if you are Xu Chuyao… You must be Miss Xu.” The person at the door stepped forward, “Please follow me.”
Due to poor performance in handling the Clown Gang, the former head of the Security Department had been demoted and transferred. The new head was a relatively young man, looking no older than his late thirties, with an excellent demeanor and an aura of sharp competence.
He introduced himself as Wei Lin, a mixed-blood who had previously served as deputy head of a Security Department in another major city. Thanks to his good performance—especially managing minor losses during the Clown Gang’s attacks—he was promoted.
Also, Xu Chuyao learned her new position here was titled “Special Threat Handling Division Chief.”
No need to explain more. Just going from “response” to “handling” was a significant promotion.
The invitation to give a lecture was not Wei Lin’s idea alone. News that the Clown Gang had raided a supply point and stolen dozens of boxes of Soulstones had quickly spread to Security Departments across major cities, causing widespread panic.
“Miss Xu, everyone knows you’re an expert in dealing with the Clown Gang, and you also have experience handling Soulstone incidents. That’s why they asked me to invite you to give a talk on how to respond and what preparations to make beforehand.”
Wei Lin spoke as he led Xu Chuyao into the Multimedia Conference Room. The screens at the front were slowly lighting up, clearly preparing for a remote video conference. Shen Ning waited outside, nibbling on some afternoon snacks.
“Sigh, Chuyao is too much—abandoning you for work, even though you’re still on a date.”
The Sexually Repressed Shadow knew this comment made little sense and awkwardly wrung its hands after saying it.
“But to be fair, Chuyao has been too arrogant lately. She even went to a bar to settle accounts—you really have to keep an eye on her.”
Shen Ning bit her tea biscuit, glanced up at the ceiling, and saw a line of numbers counting down:
[Milestone System Cooldown: Remaining Time 74:32:45]
Fine, fine, but she would keep an eye on her. For now, the mission hadn’t come up yet—still three days to go.
In the Multimedia Conference Room, Xu Chuyao took the central seat and casually asked,
“How many Soulstones did the Clown Gang steal in total?”
“Quite a lot,” Wei Lin replied. “Based on reports from various places, the gang got about thirty or forty boxes.”
“That is indeed quite a lot.”
Chuyao had lost nine boxes herself, but since they were destroyed on the spot, no report was necessary.
“Wait… what?”
She glanced at the wall where the incoming video had not yet connected. Taking advantage of the moment, she added, “Are the reports accurate? No one would just take some and claim it was stolen by the Clown Gang, right?”
Wei Lin understood her meaning and shook his head. “I don’t know, Miss Xu. I’m just a newly appointed head of the Security Department here.”
“Alright.”
Xu Chuyao thought about it. The numbers probably weren’t grossly exaggerated. They were at least somewhat reliable.
