Although she had successfully drawn Lin Xue’er’s attention, the problem was that this meant she was about to suffer punishment from Lin Xue’er.
Right, just what did Lin Xue’er intend to do to her?
Thinking back to before she fainted, the other girl had been coming at her holding a Chicken Feather Duster. Xia Mengxi couldn’t help but shudder, but since Lin Xue’er had said she wasn’t going to use it to hit her, then what was it for?
Very soon, Xia Mengxi understood Lin Xue’er’s true purpose in bringing the Chicken Feather Duster.
As she drew the girl’s focus back to her, she saw Lin Xue’er pick up a few Feathers from the side, which looked identical to the feathers on the Chicken Feather Duster from earlier.
Seeing this, Xia Mengxi’s eyes widened abruptly, because a terrible thought had surfaced in her mind.
“Lin Xue’er! You…you…!”
Lin Xue’er, seeing her panic-stricken expression, nodded at her with a devilish smile.
“That’s right, little Xi, I do plan to punish you this way. After all, your body is so fragile—how could I correct your thinking with violence?”
“I—damn it! You—mmph!”
Just as Xia Mengxi was about to curse at the girl straddling her, guessing the torment to come, Lin Xue’er stuffed a Towel over her mouth before she could even say a few words.
“I originally planned to go easy on you and use a gradual approach today, but little Xi, that mouth of yours is really filthy. That’s not how a good child should behave or speak. So, to make sure you remember this well, I’ll be adding an Extra Round of Punishment.”
With a cold face, Lin Xue’er gave a faint smile, then, under Xia Mengxi’s horrified gaze, turned around holding the Feather and pinched it between her fingers, letting the tip fall beneath Xia Mengxi’s sole.
The strange sensation beneath her foot made Xia Mengxi tense up instinctively, clenching her fists and curling all ten toes.
No…no…don’t! Please, no!!!
She screamed frantically in her heart, struggling desperately with her body, but bound as she was, all resistance was futile.
“Little Xi, the first round is about to start. We’ll start with the left foot and then the right foot, fifteen seconds on each for now. Oh, and you can count in your mind to keep yourself conscious. Make sure to hold on and not faint—otherwise, this round won’t count!”
Damn it…ahh!!!
Just as Xia Mengxi was cursing Lin Xue’er in her heart, the Feather beneath her sole had already started tickling the arch of her foot.
In that instant, the tingling sensation shot through her body at the speed of light from her arch, and the intense stimulation made her mind go blank—her body went stiff as a board.
“Mmm! Mmm!!! Mmmm!!!”
One…ee! Two…ah! Three…haha!!
Ah!!! Oh my god! Hahaha!! It’s so ticklish!!!
Fifteen seconds—neither long nor short, but under this kind of tickling torment, it felt like endless torture.
And when fifteen seconds finally passed and Xia Mengxi thought it was over, Lin Xue’er simply switched to the other foot and repeated the same action.
Damn you, Lin Xue’er! Screw your whole family! I #￥%…
Struggling, Xia Mengxi was cursing out Lin Xue’er’s entire family in her mind, letting loose every insult she could think of.
When the so-called first round finally ended, she stared at Lin Xue’er, who had turned back around, panting and with a pleading look in her eyes—but deep down, she was thinking: That’s it?
“Mm, looks like I managed the timing just right. I didn’t make you faint, so now I should explain the punishment process to you.”
“Starting today, I’ll be giving you this punishment both in the morning and the afternoon. In the morning, it’s here, here, and here.”
As she spoke, Lin Xue’er pointed to Xia Mengxi’s feet, bellybutton, and the spot beneath her ribs. For the afternoon, it would be her ears, waist, and the side of her thigh.
“Each round will be repeated four times, and the fourth time, it won’t be just a single area.”
You…damn it!
That damn Lin Xue’er! How could she think of such a twisted punishment! This was worse than just getting hit with the Chicken Feather Duster—a pure torment!
Worse yet, Lin Xue’er had even scheduled the time and body parts to switch, so she couldn’t even desensitize herself to the tickling.
“Alright, break time’s over. Next is here…”
Saying this, Lin Xue’er began circling her bellybutton with the tip of the Feather, and the unprepared Xia Mengxi immediately arched her back.
“Ugh!!!”
Why? Why is my bellybutton ticklish too?!
She had already noticed, when Lin Xue’er “helped” her bathe while imprisoned, that her body seemed a lot more sensitive than a normal girl’s, but she never expected even her bellybutton would react. So her whole body was one big weakness!
Trying to resist that electrifying sensation, Xia Mengxi could only tense her abs, relying on her “eight-in-one” abs to withstand the tickling.
It was actually quite effective—but don’t forget, this was only the first round of the Morning Punishment. There were still three more rounds to go, and the last one was double the torment. Having spent most of her energy in the first round, by the time she barely made it to the start of the third, she was back to feeling as weak as her “sickly” self, utterly limp and beset by an unnameable sense of dread.
Fortunately, Lin Xue’er took her frail condition into account, so she was able to make it through the Morning Punishment. Still, the aftereffects were terrifying—she felt dizzy and light, like she was floating among clouds without gravity. And if Lin Xue’er so much as brushed her skin, she’d feel as if she were right back in the midst of punishment.
In other words, after the punishment, her sensitivity increased by several times at least. Of course, this wouldn’t last too long.
“Okay, that’s it for this morning’s punishment. Oh, and little Xi, because you cursed a while ago, tonight you get an Extra Round of Punishment. By the way, the longer it takes you to admit your mistake, the more seconds get added every day.”
A devil…Lin Xue’er is a total devil!
She really wanted to surrender right away—after all, this was part of her plan—but giving in too soon would never fool Lin Xue’er. So Xia Mengxi gritted her teeth, deciding to hold out another two or three days before admitting fault.
Right now, though, there was a more urgent problem to solve. Ever since the tickling torment ended, a powerful urge to pee had flooded her mind along with the numbness in her body. But with Lin Xue’er covering her mouth, she couldn’t voice her needs at all.
All she could do was whimper and try to get Lin Xue’er’s attention.
“What is it, little Xi? Something wrong?”
Seeing that Lin Xue’er could tell something was up, Xia Mengxi quickly nodded. Once Lin Xue’er undid the Towel and freed her lips, she immediately brought up her physical issue.
Lin Xue’er, upon hearing it, agreed to let her use the bathroom, but…there was an embarrassing condition—Lin Xue’er would have to go in with her. Xia Mengxi was left speechless at that.
