“Just like that?”
Seeing Ye Xu’s dazed reaction, Isxila immediately grew dissatisfied again.
“Huh?”
For a moment, Ye Xu was even more confused.
Just like that?
What else was there supposed to be?
Wasn’t she angry because he maintained someone else’s Magitech Knight but not hers?
Or perhaps…
“…”
“(˘⌣˘)”
Just as Isxila felt a wave of speechless emotion welling up in her chest, almost ready to show a relieved smile—
Buzz~
Night-purple magical power surged forth. Under Isxila’s puzzled gaze, the boyish figure that had been nearly a head taller than her slowly shrank, transforming back into that peerlessly beautiful and inviolable posture.
“Ye… Ye…”
Just as Isxila stood there dumbfounded and shocked, unable to imagine that she would see this figure again at a time like this, she subconsciously released her grip and was about to call out that name—
Her waist was suddenly embraced, preventing her from escaping. A final slender, fair jade finger extended and pressed against her lips.
“Shh.” The magnificent and noble Emperor’s Daughter once again revealed her true appearance, sealing the little pursuer’s mouth to stop her from uttering the name that might cause a commotion.
“Be obedient. Be good, okay? My little golden retriever.”
Ye Lalar’s arms exerted strength. A massive power that didn’t match her delicate, dreamlike figure transmitted over, pulling Isxila into her embrace. Her left knee then pressed between Isxila’s legs.
Isxila’s pure white stockings beneath her school uniform intertwined with Ye Lalar’s black-stockinged legs at this moment. The distance between the two became so close that they could feel each other’s breaths.
Feeling her heart pounding like a startled deer in this scene enough to make the brain short-circuit from excitement, yet because of Ye Lalar’s not-quite-an-order words, Isxila was incredibly clear-headed at this moment.
Subconsciously she prepared to take every word from Ye Lalar to heart. She simply breathed heavily, inhaling her beloved’s fragrant scent, awaiting the upcoming “verdict.”
Huff huff~
Seeing her little golden retriever obediently following the command, Ye Lalar immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
“Ye, why are you here, here…”
Even though she had always wanted to see Ye Lalar, even wishing she could hug this alluring Emperor’s Daughter every day and cling to her in her arms all the time, understanding how significant Ye Lalar’s identity was, all this was ultimately just Isxila’s own thoughts. She had never considered actually acting on them.
“Because my little golden retriever needs my comfort, doesn’t she?”
Ye Lalar tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, revealing the two prominent strawberries on her neck that Isxila had just planted. Her little face instantly flushed red.
No, that’s not right. Why am I getting nervous?
The scent of the Night Tan flower lingered at the tip of her nose, almost making her follow Ye Lalar’s rhythm again. But Isxila quickly snapped back to reality.
Shouldn’t the real situation be that the idiot Ye had made her angry, and now she was preparing to execute her “husband training plan” just like her mother had taught her?
Yes, that’s right. Today she must make this idiot realize his mistake.
Otherwise, if she let him keep flirting around like this, she…
Pfft~
A soft chuckle sounded. Then another wave of strength came from Isxila’s waist. She was completely pulled into Ye Lalar’s embrace. The two soft, warm bodies pressed tightly together. Then…
Chu
A warm, moist sensation came from her forehead.
Isxila lifted her head in disbelief, only to see Ye Lalar’s lips gradually pulling away.
“Is this apology gift satisfactory for our little golden retriever?”
Seeing Isxila gradually turning red from head to toe, her brain clearly starting to crash, although she hadn’t answered yet, Ye Lalar knew that this little interlude in life had been resolved.
———
“Um, Ye, that…”
A moment later, Ye Xu, who had returned to his original form, stood in front of the restroom door, straightening his clothes.
Beside him, Isxila lowered her head, tugging at the hem of her school uniform skirt, not daring to look at him.
“Ah, that…” Ye Xu naturally understood what she wanted to ask. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Just treat that as Ye Lalar apologizing and making it up to you on my behalf.”
As soon as the words fell, Isxila immediately showed a puzzled look.
What did he mean by “Ye Lalar making it up to you on my behalf”? Were Ye Xu and Ye Lalar not the same person?
“…”
Seeing that Isxila seemed to be misunderstanding, Ye Xu helplessly sighed. After thinking for a moment, he continued,
“Although the specific principles are quite complicated.
“Just treat me as Ye Lalar as myself with greatly enhanced emotional intelligence and ability to read people.”
Perhaps because the female body made his emotions more delicate, or perhaps because during those two years the empire had educated her to become a qualified Emperor’s Daughter, the teachings on imperial arts and people-reading skills had been highly effective.
Of course, it could also be the imperial bloodline at work.
After all, that Bloodline Grand Magic would forcibly require all direct imperial family members to fulfill their duties.
This included every word and action, ideals and aspirations—from speaking to sleeping, from walking to eating. Every movement was like a wind-up doll, perfectly conforming to the imperial family’s identity. Even if the person themselves couldn’t achieve it, as long as they had basic knowledge and cultivation, the Imperial Seal would “assist” the imperial family members in accomplishing all this.
This was also the fundamental reason why direct imperial family members of the Radiant Sun Empire would have the royal emblem continuously glowing on their foreheads like a family trait whenever attending various official occasions.
And the final result was this.
Clearly the same person with completely shared memories and thoughts.
But when Navila and the others got inexplicably angry like Isxila just now, as Ye Lalar she could always easily comfort them.
For example, in the entire two years, Navila had never gotten angry at her.
And as Ye Lalar, no matter what request she made, Navila would act like a thoroughly tamed little fox, obediently rubbing against her twice before fulfilling all of Ye Lalar’s demands.
Although sometimes Navila would become even stranger…
For instance, the always extremely reliable and capable Navila, when she had previously asked her to inscribe the magical formulas, she had thought Navila would hesitate over such an embarrassing matter. But instead, she became more proactive each time.
At the beginning, it took the two of them half an hour sitting on the bed to prepare before starting. But after a couple of times, that girl began impatiently pulling her onto the bed, wanting to start early.
Then, during the inscription of the formulas, even though it was a task that, while precise, ultimately only required following the blueprint and maintaining focus—not too difficult—Navila would frequently make mistakes no matter how many times.
No matter how she spoke or patiently instructed, it was useless.
There were even a few times when it was too much and it hurt her, so she couldn’t help but sternly scold her a few times. Not only did she not restrain herself, but toward the end she even seemed to intensify it a bit more. It could be said to be extremely off.
All of this seemed highly abnormal in Ye Lalar’s eyes.
Because in her view, Navila had always been a proper and rather conservative girl.
She of course knew the feelings Navila held toward her.
But the two had already privately agreed to spend their lives together. They had once secretly vowed that once everything was settled and life stabilized, they would officially confirm their relationship.
So logically, with Navila’s personality, she shouldn’t be in such a hurry.
It couldn’t be that she had awakened some strange special fetish, right? The more she was scolded, the more comfortable she felt?
She had clearly promised Navila that no matter what, there would definitely be a place for her by her side. So she had no reason to act this way.
Her childhood friend was intelligent as ice and snow, loyal and reliable. Both Ye Xu and Ye Lalar knew this clearly and had no doubts about it.
————Of course, these small oddities wouldn’t change the fact that Ye Lalar was better than Ye Xu at dealing with girls and more easily sensing others’ emotions.
For example, just now she could tell at a glance that Isxila was feeling she had received unfair treatment, so she simply needed a bit of her “comfort.”
