“Aren’t you… hey… where… where is it considered bullying like this… This… how can this be…” Jiang Huai started to stammer again. He lowered his head, looking at Chu Xianning’s white and tender little feet stepping on him at this moment, and couldn’t say a complete sentence after stuttering for a long time. When he looked up, Chu Xianning calmly said, “Let’s play chess.”
He held his breath, thinking that if he could just endure for a little longer, his mind would be clear and calm. But clearly, his mind was filled with images of Chu Xianning’s white and tender little feet stepping on him. There wasn’t any particularly lustful touch, but once he started imagining, the flames of desire began to burn fiercely.
Indeed, people’s greatest desires often stem from their own imaginations.
However, this also showed that their relationship had already become so intimate. If it were the Chu Xianning of the past, she would never have just stepped on him with her white and tender little feet like this. Damn it… Thinking of Chu Xianning’s cold and aloof demeanor from before, her slightly scheming attitude now made Jiang Huai’s heartbeat pound faster and faster. And then… before long, he was easily defeated by Chu Xianning.
Chu Xianning’s sole pressed forward a few more points. Sensing that he showed no signs of clearing his mind, she withdrew her white and tender little feet and said calmly, “You lost.”
Jiang Huai immediately straightened his back and acted like a rascal, “Let’s play another round!”
Chu Xianning, however, stood up directly, “I’m going for a nap.”
Jiang Huai’s gaze followed her figure as she returned to her room, his hands scratching his ears and cheeks. His mind suddenly recalled their conversation a few days ago. Chu Xianning had asked him if he would become more aggressive after his cultivation advanced. He had sincerely said no, but now he really wanted to tie Chu Xianning up, firmly grab her white and tender little feet, and watch her cover her lips, her cheeks flushed with shy anger.
No, no, I can’t think like that.
Jiang Huai tapped his head again, watching Chu Xianning walk back to her room step by step. He was still contemplating what other tricks he could use to get away with it, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t come up with anything. Chu Xianning had already returned to her room and closed the door; she was truly going to sleep.
Jiang Huai resentfully returned to his own room and snuggled under his quilt.
He then couldn’t sleep for the entire afternoon.
Jiang Huai, in a daze, sat up and looked out at the sky.
Chu Xianning, you’re turning me into a ghost!
***
When Chu Xianning walked out of her room, Jiang Huai was practicing swordplay in the courtyard.
Chu Xianning was somewhat surprised. She sat quietly in the pavilion and slowly spoke after Jiang Huai finished practicing, “I thought you had gone out.”
“No, I just couldn’t sleep for two shichen, tossing and turning, thinking about how Master bullied me.” Jiang Huai looked back at her. Chu Xianning’s face showed no signs of guilt. She tilted her head, “Did I bully you?”
“Hmph, Master didn’t. Alright?” Jiang Huai put away his sword and sat down opposite her. Chu Xianning picked up the chess pieces on the table again, and Jiang Huai played chess with her. Perhaps because of the slight resentment in his heart, Jiang Huai’s courage increased a bit. He spoke softly, “Is it that there are still two days left, and Master can…”
Chu Xianning’s eyebrows were cold, and she replied plainly, “There are still two days.”
“I know. I was thinking… every time Master sat on me before, her body was so soft. How about we switch this time? Master just needs to lie down, and I’ll…”
“No,” Chu Xianning replied immediately with a cold tone, “And this time, I’ll cover your eyes.”
Jiang Huai visibly deflated again. Chu Xianning made a move, and spoke with slight dissatisfaction, “Hey, you’re here to heal injuries, don’t think about those irrelevant things.”
“Oh…” Jiang Huai’s voice trailed off. He noticed Chu Xianning’s white and tender little feet under the table. She was now wearing a pair of white socks with lace trim. Jiang Huai immediately looked up at her resentfully, but Chu Xianning remained as calm and elegant as a chrysanthemum.
Jiang Huai suddenly realized that he couldn’t learn Chu Xianning’s ability to “properly” bully people. If he learned it, he would achieve great success on the path of playing a gentleman.
“Why are you wearing white socks again…”
“Because your mind is not pure.”
“Then why weren’t you wearing them at noon?”
“I was testing you, but you failed.”
With a few words, Chu Xianning successfully drove Jiang Huai to the brink of madness. He looked at Chu Xianning before him resentfully, “This is cheating!”
“How is it cheating?”
“When you try to test the hardness of a stone, that stone will definitely break. Is it my fault for taking the bait if Master seduces me first?”
“But I just let you see it for a moment.” Chu Xianning slightly raised her eyes, “Does that count as seduction?”
“Then what counts as seduction?” Jiang Huai followed Chu Xianning’s words. Chu Xianning was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was clearly taking advantage of the situation to become more demanding. But the next second, she lifted her white and tender little feet from under the table. Her delicate and soft jade foot, excessively and unreasonably, parted Jiang Huai’s legs. She leaned closer, her toe gently touching him, and said calmly, “This barely counts as seduction.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her delicate ankle was grabbed by Jiang Huai. Chu Xianning bit her lip slightly and raised her eyes, “Let go.”
“Master seduced me, and I took the bait.” Jiang Huai stared directly into Chu Xianning’s eyes, “Hmph, isn’t it also a crime for Master to seduce me? I need to punish you severely.”
But the next second, Chu Xianning’s eyes looked at him with a deep gaze, “You told me just a few days ago that you wouldn’t become more aggressive towards me just because your cultivation advanced.”
Indeed, Chu Xianning currently had no strength to pull her ankle from Jiang Huai’s hand. Even though their cultivation levels were so different, if Jiang Huai really wanted to do something to her forcefully, she would no longer be able to resist easily. But with her words, Jiang Huai immediately went crazy and then obediently let go.
To this day, he still couldn’t be tough with Chu Xianning at all. He always felt like Chu Xianning was playing with him without him realizing it, yet he couldn’t find any proof!
The corners of Chu Xianning’s lips curved up, and she gazed into Jiang Huai’s eyes, “So obedient.”
Her tone was like praising her own baby, which made Jiang Huai even more frustrated, wishing he could roll on the ground like a rascal. But even that trick might not work anymore. Jiang Huai had to rack his brains to search for various tactics, but they all seemed ineffective.
He had grown up by Chu Xianning’s side since he was a child and was used to obeying her. Chu Xianning had taught him to be like a child since he was young, so he habitually acted like an obedient and well-behaved child in front of Chu Xianning. The evil Jiang Huai form was instantly beaten back to its original form the moment it appeared.
“I want it,” Jiang Huai looked at Chu Xianning plaintively, his plan failing, he immediately came up with another, starting his “put-upon person” mode.
Chu Xianning’s fingertips held a chess piece and she asked calmly, “Want what?”
“I want to kiss your little feet.”
“Are you going to crawl under the table and lick my feet?” Chu Xianning sneered, not hiding the contempt in her eyes at all. She saw through this trick of Jiang Huai’s as well. Jiang Huai looked at her resentfully, “I won’t! I won’t be a little lapdog!”
“As if you weren’t like that before.”
“Before was before, now is now… No matter, no matter, Master tempted me first, so you have to give me a little reward, otherwise I won’t fall for it next time.”
Chu Xianning made a move with her chess piece, and her legs under the table stretched out. At this moment, a pair of delicate and cool jade feet rested on his leg. She said calmly, “Reward.”
Jiang Huai played chess with one hand and used the other to gently hold her white and tender little foot. Chu Xianning’s jade foot was delicate and smooth. It was cool at first, but gradually warmed up under his playful touch. Jiang Huai’s sense of loss seemed to be filled, but a moment later, he suddenly came to his senses.
Wrong!
No, no, no!
She had bullied him like this, and he was still fooled again! And he was even secretly happy in his heart. No, no, if he didn’t get his revenge severely, Chu Xianning would continue to bully him like this. This time, the reward was just touching her little feet, so next time, would he still be happy if she kicked him a couple of times?
Thinking this, Jiang Huai used his other hand to gently hold Chu Xianning’s snow-white ankle.
Chu Xianning’s hand trembled slightly as she placed her chess piece. Her long eyelashes slightly lifted, “What do you want to do?”
“I want to…”
“You’re not allowed to want to,” Chu Xianning said softly, but her attitude was not so firm. Instead, there was a hint of gentleness, as if she were coaxing him. Jiang Huai almost instinctively wanted to let go.
“But I just want to…”
Chu Xianning picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. She said calmly, “For the next three nights, you will sleep with me. Or right now, you can hold my ankle… and do what you want. Choose one.”
Another multiple-choice question!
Another, and another multiple-choice question!
Jiang Huai wanted to fall face-first onto the table and die. Looking at Chu Xianning’s cold eyes, his mind began to race. One second, two seconds, three seconds. He suddenly spoke, “Let’s put aside Master’s choice for now. Master always says my mind is not pure… Doesn’t Master’s mind also not be pure sometimes?”
“Is it?” Chu Xianning said calmly.
“Then, does Master dare to bet with me again?”
“Bet on what?” Chu Xianning looked at him contemptuously.
“Master lets me hold her ankle and bully her little feet once. If Master’s underwear becomes wet, I get to hug you and sleep for the next three nights!”
Chu Xianning’s eyes were clear and cold. Although a hint of shyness and annoyance appeared, she slightly turned her face away to hide it and asked calmly, “And if it doesn’t?”
“Whatever Master decides!”
“Whatever Master decides?”
“Whatever Master decides!”
Chu Xianning placed her chess piece and said lightly, “You lose, and I get to ride you around the courtyard.”
“Deal!” Jiang Huai nodded.
Chu Xianning leaned forward slightly, resting her elbow on the table, propping up her face. Her eyes gazed at him coldly, “Come on.”
***
“Don’t apply flower dew,” Chu Xianning suddenly muttered in a low voice.
“Master’s little feet are soft and smooth even without lotion. Heh heh.”
At this moment, Jiang Huai was standing in front of Chu Xianning. Chu Xianning was forced to lift her slender legs. Her ankles were held in Jiang Huai’s palm. She turned her face away, completely refusing to look at Jiang Huai. At this moment, a hint of regret was already surfacing in her heart, but it was too late to say anything.
In the end, who was seducing whom? And who had fallen for it?
