What?!!
Her straightforward pick-up lines don’t even go through her brain?!
Hearing Yiweite’s usual straightforward comment, Yelena’s pretty face instantly flushed, and a flicker of panic crossed her pomegranate-red fox eyes.
“Ugh… I’m not feeling well today, please stop joking.” Yelena bit her lip, feigning temporary calm.
“I’m not joking.”
“Ah!! You’re so annoying, I’m not talking to you for now!”
In fact, Yelena was afraid that if she continued facing Yiweite’s consecutive direct attacks, she would be the first to lose.
She had twenty-four years of elimination difficulty experience, and now she was still an eighteen-year-old elimination partner.
Completely unable to handle this kind of thing!
But not long after, when her attention returned to herself, the bloodline restlessness brought by the full moon made her feel even worse.
She curled up under the quilt, her forehead hair already soaked with sweat, and the freshly changed clean pajamas were wet again, her ears bright red.
‘Rotten system… not a single hint. Do I really have to do that?…’
Just as she was racking her brains, her wandering gaze drifted around and finally locked onto a target on the desk: the Recipe Notebook.
Oh, right, maybe I should look through the old recipe notes.
See if there’s any meal that can stabilize the mind?
Yelena’s eyes lit up at this thought.
She immediately struggled to slowly sit up from under the quilt.
But as soon as she got down, her tail disobediently tripped around her ankle.
She fell with a thud onto the floor in front of the bed, making a noise in the room, and was in so much pain that tears almost came out.
“Stupid tail… why can’t you listen to me now…”
Yiweite outside the door immediately noticed the anomaly: “Little Fox?”
Yelena replied through gritted teeth with difficulty: “It’s nothing…”
“Did you fall?”
“No!”
Yiweite was silent for a moment, then said.
“Your voice unconsciously gets higher when you lie.”
Hearing Yiweite say that, Yelena was so angry her ears stood up.
“I said it’s nothing, so it’s nothing!”
Yiweite outside the door looked at the door, her fingers on the latch, then suddenly stopped.
She had promised not to go in casually…
But not long after, another soft sound came from inside, like the sound of a porcelain cup being knocked over.
The sweet fragrance suddenly intensified, seeping out through the crack in the door.
Yiweite, standing at the edge of the barrier, couldn’t help but pay more attention to the situation inside.
“Yelena.”
No answer from inside the door.
Only the faint sound of a tail sweeping across the floor.
Yiweite closed her eyes to concentrate, and when she opened them again, the fiery color in her eyes was pressed deeper.
“Little Fox, I’ll count to three.”
“If you don’t answer, I’ll come in.”
The room remained quiet, and Yiweite was getting a bit anxious.
“One.”
“Two.”
But before she could say three, Yelena’s voice suddenly came from inside, carrying a tone of grievance.
“Yiweite… my tail is tangled up, I can’t stand up…”
“…”
Although she was silent, Yelena’s voice sounded very pitiful. She probably needed help but, due to stubbornness, hadn’t actively asked for it.
Never mind, Yiweite took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the sliding door.
“I’m coming in.”
The moment the door was pushed open, Yiweite first smelled a strong sweet fragrance, stronger than the previous scent in the courtyard.
Previously, the smell had seeped through the door crack, but now with the door wide open, the scent was even more alluring, stirring desire.
As soon as she entered, Yelena’s face first showed joy, then she put on a stern face: “Don’t laugh…”
Only a small lamp was lit in the boudoir.
The lamplight was also blocked by the barrier, the halo falling between the folding screen and the bed.
Yelena was now lying on her side on the floor beside the bed, surrounded by nine ink-black fox tails.
Only one reddened fox ear and half of a puffed-up little face were visible.
Her pajamas had gotten a bit messy from struggling earlier, a large section of the outer garment had slipped off her shoulder, and her belt was loose.
Her face, forehead, shoulders… the exposed parts were glistening with fragrant sweat.
What was worse, those nine tails were indeed tangled.
Three were twisted into a knot, five were pressing against each other, and one was wrapped around her ankle, as if afraid she would run away.
Yiweite walked in front of Yelena, her right hand clenching involuntarily.
She really didn’t laugh.
She felt like she would probably be driven crazy by this little fox tonight…
The intoxicating fragrance in the room made Yiweite’s heart a mess; the jet-black long hair was scattered on the pitiful fox girl’s shoulders.
She was clearly so embarrassed she was about to cry, yet she still forced a fierce expression.
At this moment, Yelena was harder for Yiweite to handle than ever.
[Reminder for host: Yiweite has entered Charm State, Charm Level 60%]
Hearing the sad news in her mind, Yelena’s eyes could no longer hold back, and a clear tear slid down her cheek.
No!
Yiweite forcibly bit the tip of her tongue hard, using the pain to steady her mind.
“I’m not laughing…”
“Your eyes are clearly laughing!” Yelena looked at her suspiciously.
“Then I’ll close them?”
“If you close your eyes, how will you untangle my tail? You might randomly grope…” Yelena’s voice got quieter as she spoke.
“I’ll use a sword.”
Yelena immediately hugged her tail tightly, eyes wide.
“No!! Whoever tries to shave my tail bald with a sword, I’ll fight them to the death!”
“Pfft!” Yiweite finally couldn’t hold back her laughter, her shoulders shaking as she laughed.
Yelena was furious! Furious! Furious!
“Yiweite!”
“Okay, I was wrong. I’ll do it your way. Let’s save time and help you out of this.”
With no other choice, Yiweite put down the sword at her waist and slowly approached.
Even the mana inside her body was stirred up restlessly, and her hands were trembling slightly.
If she wanted to solve the problem Yelena was facing now, she first had to help her untangle the uncontrollable fox tails.
She had to hurry.
If she kept teasing, there would be no need to untangle the tails tonight; Yiweite would probably lose her mind first and be completely conquered by desire.
Taking advantage of the gap while Yiweite talked and acted, Yelena extended a finger and made a four-point warning:
“No pulling hard, no laughing, no sneaking a rub, and… don’t… call anyone else in…”
“Fine~ I promise you all, so hard to please~”
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out to untangle the first tail around her ankle, which went relatively smoothly.
For the few tails that were pressing against each other, Yiweite used Sword Qi Magic to form a thin film on her fingertips to avoid direct contact.
Then she slowly separated the tangled tails along their direction.
She was still observing Yelena’s state. The little fox in front of her was tense at first, but later, because of her gentle and steady movements, she let down her guard.
Meanwhile, Yelena was also sizing up the Red-Haired Sword Saint.
This person was usually so forceful against villains that she would like to cut them all down with her sword.
But now, she was extremely cautious even touching a tangled tail.
Yelena felt that sour, soft feeling in her heart again.
Ever since she was brought back to the Sword Saint’s Mansion, Yiweite had indulged her in everything and protected her.
Although she often joked that Yelena was her exclusive cook and Anna would watch her every day, and if she dared to run away, she’d catch her.
But when she wasn’t joking, she still chose to give her freedom.
When real problems arose, she never let Yelena feel afraid.
She would always stand in front of her and protect her from behind.
Today might just be a simple microcosm of daily life, but the red-haired girl before her was always so reliable.
Yelena suddenly felt that having her tail untangled by the person in front of her wasn’t so embarrassing.
If it’s Yiweite, then… should she give her a corresponding reward?
“Alright~ Only those three tangled-up ones are left to deal with.”
Yelena couldn’t help complaining: “Why are these three so stupid?”
Yiweite smiled meaningfully: “They take after their owner.”
Damn it! Yelena really wanted to kick her!
[Reminder for host: Current actions cannot effectively solve the problem. If the host cannot make key progress within half an hour, Yiweite will have a Life Urge Outburst and directly pin the host down on the bedboard and make her meow!]
Yelena: WTF?
