Luo Tiantian lay limp on the floor.
**[The interaction intensity with Empress You is far beyond usual. It is recommended that you assist the character as appropriate.]**
‘Do I even have a choice?’
It was already too late.
Luo Tiantian didn’t know how many times she had drifted into unconsciousness. She felt as if she were no longer herself.
Shen Xixi exhaled a sweet breath and wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth.
Not enough.
Still not enough.
This medicine was even more powerful than she had imagined.
“My consort,” Shen Xixi’s voice was already hoarse, “let’s play a game.”
She took out several thin pieces of Gold Leaf.
“Do you see these? I am going to place them on your body. You aren’t allowed to move, and they aren’t allowed to fall. For every leaf I place steadily, I will reward you with 100 game coins.”
Ignoring her trembling thighs, Luo Tiantian immediately struggled to crawl up from the floor.
100 game coins!
One spot is 100, ten is 1,000, 100 is 10,000…
‘Hehehe… Baaaa!’
“Then… what if one falls?” Luo Tiantian asked with a giggle.
“If one falls, 100 will be deducted,” Shen Xixi replied with a wicked smile.
Luo Tiantian’s smile froze.
Losing money.
That was more painful to her than being beaten or scolded.
“Well? Do you want to play?”
“I’ll play!”
Luo Tiantian grit her teeth. For the sake of money, she would go all out!
Shen Xixi’s cheeks were flushed. “It’s starting, my Bao Si.”
The first piece of Gold Leaf landed on the center of Luo Tiantian’s forehead.
As it pressed against her smooth skin, Luo Tiantian rolled her eyes upward, trying her best to keep an eye on the Gold Leaf.
**[At the request of Empress You, the character being assisted, placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Huh?
What the hell?
Wasn’t it 100?
‘Maybe I only get one for now because the game isn’t finished yet,’ Luo Tiantian comforted herself.
“Very good.”
Shen Xixi nodded in satisfaction. Her finger slid down the bridge of Luo Tiantian’s nose, brushed past her trembling lips, and stopped at her small chin.
The second piece of Gold Leaf was placed gently on the tip of her chin.
Luo Tiantian maintained her head-tilt, not daring to move an inch.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Next was the hollow of her collarbone.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Luo Tiantian’s collar was loose, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
Shen Xixi extended two fingers and pinched a piece of Gold Leaf.
Luo Tiantian’s cheeks burned. She closed her eyes, not daring to look, only able to feel the slightly cool metal softly making contact.
“Mmph…”
She couldn’t help but let out a weak whimper, yet her body remained still.
“Don’t move,” Shen Xixi said as she gently let go.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Shen Xixi seemed very satisfied with the success of this high-difficulty challenge, and her fingers continued downward.
Her flat abdomen tightened slightly due to tension. A piece of Gold Leaf was placed above her navel, rising and falling gently with her shallow breaths.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Then, things moved to even more excessive places.
The inner thigh.
Shen Xixi held the Gold Leaf, searching for a balance point along the curve of the root of the leg.
Luo Tiantian felt itchy and numb there, and she had to use almost all her strength to suppress the urge to clamp her legs shut.
The Gold Leaf was finally stabilized.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
Next were the knees, the calves, the ankles…
Finally, the toes.
They were fair and delicate, the toes as rounded as pearls, and the arch of the foot was elegantly curved.
Shen Xixi lifted one of her feet and placed a piece of Gold Leaf on the nail of her curled big toe.
“Ah…”
Luo Tiantian’s toes instinctively retracted, and the Gold Leaf nearly slid off. She froze in terror immediately.
**[Placement successful. Game coins +1.]**
The other foot was treated the same way.
By the time the last piece of Gold Leaf stood precariously on Luo Tiantian’s pinky toe nail, she felt like a puppet that had its pressure points struck. Not a single muscle in her body was relaxed.
From her forehead, chin, collarbones, and chest, to her abdomen, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and the ten toes on both feet… she had over twenty pieces of Gold Leaf on her.
“Your… Your Majesty… is it over?” Luo Tiantian asked nervously.
Shen Xixi took a step back to admire her masterpiece.
The stunning girl lay on the Throne in an extremely awkward and stiff posture. Every key point on her body shimmered with an enticing golden light. Snow-white skin and golden leaves intertwined into a picture that was both extravagant and forbidden.
The Gold Leaf on her chest trembled slightly with her rapid breathing, looking as if it might fall at any moment while stubbornly maintaining its balance, adding a heart-pounding sense of temptation.
“It’s over.”
Shen Xixi’s voice was hoarse. The effects of the medicine and the scene before her made the fire in her eyes burn even brighter.
Luo Tiantian was overjoyed.
Since the placement was finished, she should be able to receive over 2,000 game coins now, right?
‘Right, System?’
**[At the special request of the character being assisted, all reward game coins have been issued. There are no other game coins.]**
Eh?
The expression on Luo Tiantian’s face froze.
“Now, stay still. I’m going to… inspect the results.”
Shen Xixi leaned down and approached Luo Tiantian again, her gaze burning as she stared at the pieces of Gold Leaf.
First was the center of the forehead.
She leaned in and gently blew a puff of air.
The warm current brushed past, and the edges of the Gold Leaf wobbled slightly.
The leaf shook, then stabilized.
Shen Xixi chuckled lowly and darted her tongue out to quickly lick Luo Tiantian’s cheek.
“Eek!”
Luo Tiantian’s body jolted.
The Gold Leaf on her chin, unable to bear the burden, wobbled and drifted downward.
**[Placement failed. Game coins -100.]**
Baaa—!
Luo Tiantian let out a mournful cry of heartbreak, watching 100 coins leave her.
‘What kind of shitty game is this, baaa?!’
‘You monster, baaa!!’
‘You give me 1 coin for placing them, but you really deduct 100 for dropping them, baaa!!!’
