Chapter 84 A Bird in a Cage
I had never seen Xinran like this before, and this expression was also newly unlocked. The current Xinran was already an unknown territory to me. She had already undergone a significant change from the Xinran in my memory.
“It’s all my fault that it turned out this way.” The current Xinran must have awakened now. Every time a F Witch awakens, it is accompanied by disaster. When Xiao An awakened, she destroyed the entire Mirror World. Therefore, when Xinran, who also belongs to the Three Disasters, awakens, a terrifying disaster would also occur… This was my original assumption.
But there were no unusual phenomena. Although there was a hurricane earlier that blew me into the sky, I couldn’t feel anything now.
The surroundings were quiet due to the night. It would be impossible for it to be this quiet in the city center. Although it was already late, I could roughly see the surroundings by the streetlights. I had never seen this place before.
This means that this place is at least not near my home or any place I know. It might be a remote corner of a city far from the city center.
After being thrown into the air just now and returning to the ground, did I end up in a different place?
That makes sense. After all, it’s the wind. It’s everywhere and can blow wherever it wants…
But this way, I can’t ask Lianbing or Lan for help. Perhaps Xinran brought me to this completely unfamiliar and remote place subconsciously precisely to prevent me from contacting anyone.
There aren’t many people around… Even if there were passersby, they would probably just think we are a couple showing affection.
Because Xinran held me so gently in her arms, ignoring everything around her, as if I were the only one left in her eyes.
But things must come to an end. And although my head is soft, my back can’t take it anymore.
I am slightly taller than Xinran, and she is currently holding me in her arms with a motherly posture. As a result, I can only crouch down, supporting my body by pressing on my knees. My back will hurt if I stay in this position for too long.
So, I softly called out to Xinran.
“Xinran?”
…Fortunately, she responded. I was wondering what I would do if she didn’t answer me.
“Why did you bring me here?”
“You don’t need to worry anymore.”
“What are you going to do to me?”
“Just leave it to me.”
It seems like she’s answering what I’m saying, but it’s completely irrelevant.
Perhaps in her mind, ‘I’ have already answered. But it might be completely different from what the real me said. Because what I said just now were a bunch of annoying words, she is ignoring the real me and just making up her own scenario in her mind?
I made up my mind and prepared to use Calamity from the Mouth to order Xinran to let me go.
“…Ugh!”
The words “Let me go” didn’t come out. The back of my head was pressed down, and my face sank deeper into her.
I think Xinran doesn’t know about my abilities, but she still instinctively covered my mouth.
“Just leave it all to me.”
This is really bad. Although it feels good, it’s really bad.
So, I tried to look up and move away from her soft chest, but as soon as my mouth left and I tried to open it, Xinran would sensitively press my back and make my face sink deeper, using her soft flesh to block my mouth, burying my head deeper.
This time, she even covered my nose. My air intake was completely blocked, and I was suffocating.
Wait, this is bad! I’m going to suffocate! Is this really going to be my end? To be killed by breasts?! This…
“Ugh! Hiss, hah, hiss, hah…”
She suddenly let go of me, and I quickly took a few breaths. What a chance!
“[…Mph!”
My mouth was blocked by her breasts again… What the hell! How can she anticipate the timing of my speech?! This is something even mind-reading couldn’t do!
Moreover, she could accurately block my mouth after I only uttered one word. She completely predicted my actions!
“I told you, just leave it all to me. Juncheng, you don’t need to do anything extra. I can sense the direction of the airflow from your mouth.”
Is that so? The airflow in my mouth… There is indeed airflow when speaking. She can even sense that? If the airflow is considered ‘wind,’ then Xinran’s domain of control is too vast… Is there really nowhere to escape?
Moreover, Xinran is no longer using polite language. After realizing that her identity as a maid was useless, she immediately abandoned it.
Then what does she consider herself to be to me now?
…Perhaps only God knows. Even I can’t guess what Xinran considers herself to be to me, and what she considers me to be to her.
The identity positioning has become blurred, and the relationship has completely changed.
After this attempt to resist failed, Xinran buried my face into her chest again. This time, it wasn’t just my mouth and nose; my entire face, including my eyes, was enveloped. It was soft and suffocating.
Following this, I felt a sense of weightlessness under my feet. Xinran must be flying with me, but I had no idea where she was going. Only when my breathing reached its limit would Xinran let go for a while to let me breathe. However, I still couldn’t speak, and as soon as I tried to make a sound, she would block me again. —I’ve used this “face washing milk” too many times!
So, I simply gave up trying to speak. It was better to just take a few more breaths when she gave me time to breathe and make myself a little more comfortable.
And it wasn’t just limiting my breathing; she imposed other restrictions. I couldn’t even open my eyes because there was a gust of wind blowing directly into my eyes, irritating them so much that I couldn’t.
The sound of wind howling filled my ears, so I was completely deprived of the rights to see, hear, and smell. If holding me and preventing me from leaving is also counted, then I have no freedom at all.
Although she didn’t directly stuff me with anything, or put on a head restraint and handcuffs, I felt like it was similar… Well, perhaps the only difference is that these breasts still have some warmth.
An unknown amount of time passed, probably a long time, because I felt extremely hungry. Although I was being held by Xinran in a feeding posture, she couldn’t really produce milk for me to drink. There’s always a limit to quenching thirst by looking at plums.
And when I was finally separated from Xinran’s embrace, I even felt a little reluctant to leave her.
Damn it, what am I thinking! I’ve been treated like this, yet I feel like I’m enjoying it! I’m not an infant; I don’t need to be fed milk every day!
…Is this the power of breasts? They can bewitch people to this extent… It’s truly terrifying! I used to think I didn’t care about breast size, but now it seems the saying “If the breasts aren’t large, how can they gather people?” makes sense.
“Where is this?”
“This is our home.”
I felt that there was no point in asking further. Xinran would never give a proper answer.
But since she let go of me… does that mean I can move freely? I first looked around the room. It was a wooden house, like a vacation villa, quite chic. It had most of the necessary furniture, but no appliances. Only the chandelier on the ceiling was lit… but there was no light switch in the room.
Although the structure and size of the room were completely different, this feeling gave me a sense of familiarity.
…That’s right, it felt the same as the room where Lan imprisoned me in the Mirror World.
Could it be that Xinran intends to imprison me?
To confirm this, I moved towards the door without any expression. Xinran watched me with a smile, not stopping my actions.
Did I misunderstand her… Is she not trying to imprison me?
In any case, let’s go out and see what this place is. Since it’s a wooden house, it should be quite remote. Maybe I’ve arrived in some rural area…
And after I opened the door, I realized I had miscalculated again.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small lake. The lake water sparkled under the moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful.
A fresh scent wafted from the surroundings. As far as I could see, there were only beautiful flowers, plants, and trees, but there was nothing that looked like an exit or entrance. It was surrounded by trees.
Let alone a road, there wasn’t even a single track formed by people walking on it. Instead, this wooden house became the only man-made object.
What the hell is this place?!
I felt like I might have transmigrated back to ancient times. The nature here was too harmonious. It gave me the feeling that humans were not needed at all. Perhaps this is what they call a paradise…
But now is not the time to appreciate the natural scenery. I, a modern person, have been brought to such a deep mountain and old forest!
It’s not that they’re preventing me from escaping, but rather that it’s unnecessary…
Unlike Lan, who built a love nest where I couldn’t escape, this is a completely enclosed environment. The only person I can interact with and talk to is Xinran.
I can’t describe how I feel right now. Is it anger? Shock? More likely, it’s surprise.
I didn’t expect Xinran to go this far.
I stood there dumbfounded, staring at the undisturbed surface of the lake. Then, I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around and saw Xinran descending the stairs, holding the handrail.
Xinran walked up to me, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said with a heartwarming smile.
“This is our home. We can stay here forever.”
“Xinran, what exactly do you want! Take me back!”
“Go back? We’re already back, back to our home.”
“……”
Calamity from the Mouth was ineffective. What… what is happening?
I couldn’t understand, nor did I know how to proceed. In the end, I became helpless.
“It won’t work without me.”
The conversation couldn’t be reached. She wouldn’t listen to anything.
“We can soar together forever.”
At this moment, I realized that I was already a bird in a cage.
