Chapter 16 In Komura, a disobedient dog will not receive any reward from its master...

In the paper doll boy's hand, there was a piece of paper that had been stained blood red.

After finishing making the dress for Yu Naixin, the paper doll boy obediently followed Yu Naixin's instructions and stayed in the tailor shop to diligently sew the wedding dress that the mountain god would use in his wedding ceremony.

The tailor shop is the paper doll boy's home turf. Yu Naixin's feet are still standing inside the threshold of the tailor shop, and the fox demon priest is also within the tailor shop's area.

When the paper doll boy realized that Yu Naixin was in danger, his Yin energy immediately materialized, swirling around him like a grayish-white mist, and he unleashed a terrifying aura far exceeding his previous power.

The blood-red paper in the paper boy's hand also changed shape in an instant, turning into a pair of scissors that were half a person's height.

Without any hesitation, the paper doll boy raised the scissors and slashed them hard at the fox demon priest's hand that was gripping Yu Naixin's neck.

With a loud "crack" of metal colliding, the fox demon priest's hand was completely severed from the wrist.

The hand with sharp claws lost its support and, after releasing its grip, turned into a shower of blood-red fragments that fell from Yu Naixin's body.

Seeing the paper boy's scissors relentlessly closing in once again, the fox demon priest had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Just then, the White Bone Scholar, having seized the opportunity, quickly stepped in front of Yu Naixin, concentrating all his spiritual power in his skeletal hands, and forcefully pushed outwards towards the fox demon priest's chest.

The fox demon priest had already lost much of his defense and attention due to the paper doll boy's attack, and when the white bone scholar followed up with this move, he was forced to retreat several steps.

After regaining her balance, the fox demon priest glanced at the neat wound on her wrist, gritted her teeth and clicked her tongue, and a brand new hand grew out from the cut.

The fox demon priest's face was as dark as the night sky over Cocoon Village.

He looked at the person opposite him, Yu Naixin was firmly protected behind the paper doll boy and the white bone scholar, completely blocking her view. From the fox demon priest's perspective, Yu Naixin's figure was completely invisible.

[Wow, I was wondering how a newbie's livestream got on the trending list. I clicked in and wow, there were three guests from the same event?! Three?!]

[What?! This livestream is already on the trending list?!]

[It's been going on for a while! Ever since they discovered this newcomer was starting with a three-choice challenge, the livestream's popularity has been steadily rising!]

[They've finally started fighting! Keep going, don't stop!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 9 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Can't It Work Anymore!"!]

[Damn, I joined halfway through, and all I saw was the female guest and the paper doll being all lovey-dovey. I didn't expect there to be three male guests in total?! Such a big decision as choosing one out of three, and you guys barely discussed it in the live stream?!]

There was a lot of discussion at the beginning, but later it seemed like everyone got used to it and calmed down. Besides, there were so many highlights in this live stream, choosing one of the three wasn't even the most exciting part.

[Holy crap, holy crap, the newcomer chosen from three factions is going head-to-head with the domain lord! What a once-in-a-millennium spectacle!]

Fox Demon Priestess: "...Heh!"

With a cold laugh, the fox demon priest knew that this was the paper doll boy's territory. No matter how easy it would be for him to kill the paper doll boy under normal circumstances, within the tailor shop's territory, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with the paper doll boy.

Not to mention the White Bone Scholar lurking nearby, even if he manages to capture Yu Naixin again, the price he has to pay is simply not worth it.

The fox demon priest couldn't help but grind her back teeth.

This female guest named Yu Naixin... really knows how to pick a place!

Just as the fox demon priest had thought, Yu Naixin was deliberately causing trouble at the tailor shop entrance.

Just a second before angering the fox demon priest, she deliberately took a half step back into the tailor shop to make sure she was inside.

As a result of her actions, several of Yu Naixin's experiments yielded clear results.

The first conclusion is that, when one male guest is on the same turf, the other two male guests will be greatly restricted, even the male guest who is the strongest in all aspects, the fox demon priest.

The second conclusion is that the fox demon priest didn't need any preconditions to kill her.

Yu Naixin has discovered from the three simulations that whether it is the paper doll boy or the white bone scholar, they all need to complete a specific process before they can directly take her life.

The paper boy had to ask her if she wanted to "be with him forever" before he could erode her and absorb her as a pool of blood.

The White Bone Scholar was only able to dismantle her bones after giving her the so-called token of their love, a jade pendant.

In both of these processes, the female guest can choose whether or not to accept the offer. For example, she ignored the paper doll boy's question in the tailor shop, which prevented the paper doll boy from triggering his yandere ending.

It can be said that "Heartbeat 1000%" did not completely lose its conscience, giving the female guests a way out.

As for the fox spirit priest, Yu Naixin had initially guessed that the prerequisite was to stroke her head for a certain period of time. After all, during the third simulation, the fox spirit priest really did stroke her head for a long time, just like carefully picking out whether a watermelon was ripe or not.

However, during the experiment just now, Yu Naixin could sense that the fox demon priest didn't necessarily have to go through this process; if he were to harden his heart, he could take her life at any time.

The fox spirit priest is indeed the most unique among the three male guests.

So why is the fox spirit priest so exceptionally strong? Yu Naixin couldn't figure it out. Could it be because the fox spirit priest is the one who presides over the mountain god's sacrificial ceremony?

In this village where the mountain god is revered as the heavens, he is the one closest to the god.

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 10000%"! You have successfully discovered the special characteristics of the male guest and have unlocked some of your comment privileges!]

Yu Naixin: "...!"

Unexpectedly, this terrible production team came to the rescue. Yu Naixin immediately opened the bullet screen interface, and some of the previously blocked bullet comments were displayed.

Yu Naixin finally learned the proper noun "domain lord".

According to viewers in the live stream chat, this is a very rare type of guest in the instance, possessing the highest level of privileges, meaning the entire instance is practically his.

No wonder the fox demon priest acted so arrogantly, like a crab, and practically wanted to walk sideways.

At this moment, the skeleton scholar in front of Yu Naixin still had ghostly blue spiritual power rising from his skeletal hands, ready to continue attacking the fox demon priest at any time.

The paper figure boy beside him had bloodshot eyes, looking ready to fight the fox demon priest to the death.

[The skeleton and the paper figures are going to such lengths to protect the female guest, this is so sweet!!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 4 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Why Won't You Let Me Type Random Code"!]

[Oh my god, isn't this a chaotic scene with all three male guests gathered together?! I absolutely love this kind of thing!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 20 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "看看看乐子吃吃糖"!]

[This newcomer is so petite! I love the size difference between her and the male guest!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Eight Hundred Years of Corpse Spots That Won't Fade"!]

[The paper doll looks so dedicated; is his affection for the female guest about to reach 100%?]

"As the old saying goes, those who understand the times are heroes, and those who are adaptable are great men." The white-boned scholar dared not take his eyes off the fox demon priest, wary of any possible moves the other party might make. "I hope that Your Excellency will think twice before acting."

The White Bone Scholar's tone remained as gentle and humble as ever, but his words had become sharp and scathing.

He was well aware that the advantage lay entirely with himself and the paper doll boy.

The paper doll boy's behavior was much more straightforward.

The yin energy surrounding him surged to such an intensity that his true form was no longer visible. The paper-figure boy swung the enormous scissors in his hand, his hair standing on end in fury: "How dare you hurt Miss Yu?! How dare you?! I'll make you pay for Miss Yu's life—!!!"

Before he finished speaking, the paper-figure boy, with an aura of unstoppable force, roared and charged toward the fox demon priest.

The paper-figure boy exuded such a powerful aura that even the Bone Scholar subconsciously stepped aside to avoid indiscriminately harming him.

[This is hilarious! It's so easy to tell who's sincere and who's not. Paper Doll really loves the show's guests!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 10 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Clear Soup Master"!]

[The guest on the show suddenly became a star?! I'm already swooning over this sweet moment!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 15 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Maybe Maybe"!]

[Great job, paper doll! You're not a coward!]

[The skeleton was just playing along, and the fox demon almost killed the female guest. I bet a sweet coin that the female guest will definitely choose the paper doll as her ideal man!]

[Wow, this live stream is so exciting I almost forgot! The newcomer hasn't even chosen her favorite male guest yet! I'm betting on the paper doll too!]

"Come back." Yu Naixin reached out with a hint of helplessness and grabbed the paper boy's arm.

This silly dog, once it runs out of the tailor shop's area, it loses its home-field advantage. How is it going to fight against that domain master?

That's not how you feed kills!

Just moments ago, the paper-figure boy was radiating a terrifying and violent aura, yet Yu Naixin's hand passed through that yin energy without any hindrance and was not harmed in the slightest.

It's like... even when he's in a state of extreme emotional instability, the paper doll boy will still subconsciously avoid hurting Yu Naixin.

The moment Yu Naixin's hand touched the paper boy's arm, the paper boy seemed to have been put on the brakes; the yin energy around him vanished instantly, and he returned to the somewhat dull and wooden ordinary paper figure he once was.

Then, without even asking Yu Naixin why she wanted him to stop, he put away the half-person-high scissors in his hand and obediently retreated.

He obeyed orders without question and followed Yu Naixin's requests completely and unconditionally.

He's Miss Yu's dog, so he should do this.

【Wait, are paper figures really this obedient?!】

I initially thought his claim of being the female guest's dog was an exaggeration or a metaphorical device, but it turns out it was just a simple statement of fact!

[Oh my god, this newcomer really is someone whose appearance doesn't reflect their personality! The sweeter she looks, the more professional she seems at training dogs! But she's definitely adorable!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Coriander Get Out of the Food World"!]

He loves her so much!

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 9 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Likes Sweets"!]

The white-boned scholar had already retreated a little towards the paper doll boy who was far away. At Yu Naixin's command, the paper doll boy also moved half a step to the other side. Yu Naixin, who had been hidden behind the two male guests, reappeared in front of the fox demon priest.

The fox demon priest's gaze focused on Yu Naixin's neck.

The bloodstains from his claws were still fresh, and even though the wounds weren't deep, blood was still seeping out.

The fox spirit priest suddenly felt thirsty.

He longed to pounce on her, to bite Yu Naixin's neck hard with his sharp teeth, and to taste the blood on it.

Under the blatant gaze of the fox demon priest, Yu Naixin took a step forward and walked directly in front of the white bone scholar and the paper doll boy.

Then, she raised her hand, her slender, fair fingers gently touching the bloodstain on her neck. With a casual press of her index fingertip, more blood flowed from the wound.

The sweet, metallic scent of fresh blood filled the air.

Now, not only did the fox demon priest's gaze become even more intense, but the white bone scholar beside him couldn't help but feel a tightness in his throat.

The female guest's flesh and blood... is an unparalleled delicacy!

Of the three male guests, only the paper doll boy remained calm, standing still with his head slightly bowed, waiting for Yu Naixin's next command.

"You want it, don't you?" Yu Naixin smiled at the fox demon priest, her eyes crinkling, "But I'm not giving it to you."

"A disobedient dog will not receive any reward from its owner."
