Chapter 46 046 I Only Bully You
The large dormitory room fell into silence.
The already sweltering summer night seemed to freeze even the air, with not a breath of wind. The lingering effects of the alcohol seemed to rise again, Lu Yuanyuan's breathing became heavy, her eyelids felt hot, and the sweat on her temples was sticky and burning.
Suddenly, the candlelight by the wall flickered gently, finally bringing a breath of life into the room.
The three of them moved at the same time. Yin Xiaozhu tilted his head slightly, looked at the candlestick, and said calmly, "Junior Brother Duan, I won't keep you any longer at this hour. Please leave."
She was issuing an order to leave, but her tone was quite calm, as if she had returned to her usual self as the senior sister.
Because her hair covered her face, no one could see her expression.
The stiff and strange atmosphere that had just filled the room seemed to be just an illusion.
Lu Yuanyuan's unease did not disappear, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, casting a trembling shadow. Hoping that the three of them would end soon, she hugged the blanket, sat forward, and echoed, "I'll be fine after a nap. You're tired too, go back and rest."
It was indeed very late. On a normal day, he wouldn't be in a girl's room at this hour.
Duan Lansheng lowered his head, glanced at her, and then nodded slightly: "We can talk about it tomorrow."
Watching him leave and the two doors close, Lu Yuanyuan first breathed a slight sigh of relief. But the next second, seeing the person still in the room, Lu Yuanyuan's eyelids twitched.
No, there's nothing to be uneasy about. Although she had deliberately put on a show in front of Yin Xiaozhu, he didn't seem like the type to tear her to pieces for a mere man...
She glanced up and saw that Yin Xiaozhu wasn't leaving; instead, he was walking towards her. Lu Yuanyuan's heart leaped into her throat again. The thought she had just confirmed several times in her mind instantly crumbled. She bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, scrambling into the covers: "Yuanjun, I'm going to rest. Goodnight... Mmm!"
Before she could finish speaking, her blanket was pulled off and she was lifted out of the room. But unlike before when she was forced to sit on someone's lap, this time she was placed face down.
The wind whistled past her, and then a dull thud struck her buttocks.
It ended in one go. Then, it happened again.
I hit him twice.
Lu Yuanyuan was startled.
The force of the blow wasn't heavy, but it was so unexpected that for a few seconds she was completely stunned. After a long pause, she finally reacted, disbelief, grievance, and shame surging through her mind, as if something had exploded in her head. She was utterly mortified: "You...how could you hit me...hit me there!"
She couldn't bring herself to say the word "buttocks".
Having lived three lifetimes, she had only ever been spanked by her parents in her original world, and that was when she was in elementary school. The original owner of this body, when she broke palace rules in the Yan Kingdom as a child, was only lightly slapped on the palm by the official in charge of rites.
Lu Yuanyuan struggled to get up, but unfortunately, she was far too weak to turn over. Her sleeves rolled up, and the two bracelets on her wrists bumped against the edge of the bed.
Yin Xiaozhu glanced at the bracelets, then looked away, easily subduing her with one hand. His other hand, which had been wreaking havoc, now rested on her lower back. His amber eyes, illuminated by the flickering candlelight, shone like dark glass: "You promised me you'd be back by midnight before you left. You drank so much wine right after completing your Core Formation. Words are useless; I need to teach you a lesson."
He immediately listed two of her sins, and that's why she got two spanks?
Lu Yuanyuan bit her lip, instinctively feeling a pang of guilt. But thinking about what had just happened, she realized that the other person seemed angry about more than just those two things. Because of the alcohol, she couldn't control her muscles, trembling slightly, and her eyes, already brimming with tears, became even wetter: "I...no, you're bullying the weak, settling personal scores...you've bullied me."
Upon hearing her accusation, Yin Xiaozhu's lips actually curled up slightly: "Yes, I only bully you."
"What?"
Suddenly, everything went dark. Lu Yuanyuan felt fingers rubbing her chin and heard the other person's voice in her ear: "Besides, is this bullying? You haven't seen how I really bully people."
What did she mean by that?
Warning? Provocation? Joke?
Lu Yuanyuan's fingers curled, her mind buzzing, and she didn't understand for a moment. The other person didn't give her time to comprehend, straightening up as if intending to end this farce.
Lu Yuanyuan was preoccupied with the fact that she had been hit on the buttocks twice, which was too embarrassing. She was unwilling to let it end like this. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she sat up and suddenly pounced on Yin Xiaozhu. She buried her head in the easiest place to bite him—his neck exposed outside his clothes—and bit him hard as a form of revenge.
Yin Xiaozhu froze.
Taking a bite isn't fair enough.
This guy just slapped her butt twice.
Fortunately, the other person's neck was quite long, making it easy to find a second place to bite. Lu Yuanyuan's head was spinning. She brushed aside the other person's hair, quickly buried her head, and took another bite, hearing Yin Xiaozhu groan. When she released her lips, she saw two clear teeth marks on the side of the other person's neck, along with two wet saliva stains.
Upon closer inspection, a thin stream of bright red blood was seen seeping from the indentation beneath the second ring of teeth marks, where the canine teeth had left their mark.
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
She swallowed hard, and her limbs went stiff.
Why is she bleeding again... Oh no, she seems to have bitten too hard on the second bite.
Perhaps the skin was broken, it hurt a little, Yin Xiaozhu frowned slightly and raised her hand to touch her neck.
Looking down, she noticed blood on her fingertip, and her eyes glanced over indifferently.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuanyuan's inflated courage immediately collapsed. She dared not meet her gaze and quickly crawled back to the innermost part of the bed, wrapping herself in the blanket.
Fortunately, Yin Xiaozhu ultimately did not hold it against her.
After hiding nervously under the covers for a while, Lu Yuanyuan heard the door close outside. She held her breath, mustered her courage, and lifted a corner of the blanket.
The dormitory is empty.
After a long night of commotion, the crisis finally passed.
Lu Yuanyuan wiped her sweat, quickly washed up, and collapsed onto the bed.
It's said that people who are too tired tend to dream more. That night, around midnight, she had a dream in a daze. She dreamt that someone covered her with a blanket and played with her hands, kneading them like dough for a while. Slowly, the person seemed to want to take off the bracelet on her wrist.
These bracelets, which Duan Lansheng took from the Thunderfire Beast three years ago, have been worn by her ever since because of their excellent protective properties. She never takes them off, even when eating, sleeping, or bathing, and the spirit stones embedded in the bracelets have been replaced several times.
Even after she forms a golden core, the bracelets won't need to be discarded; they can continue to be used as protective magical artifacts. Furthermore, there will be no need to put spirit stones—which are essentially batteries—into the bracelets anymore, as they can be powered by themselves.
She was sleeping so soundly that when she sensed someone touching her bracelet, her consciousness seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the water, unable to wake up. She simply pulled her hand away reluctantly. Because of her resistance, the bracelet couldn't slip off her wrist and even left a faint red mark on her skin.
Seeing this, the hand finally stopped moving.
.
The next day.
Lu Yuanyuan slept until noon. When she woke up, her temples still had a slight throbbing pain. She sat up on the bed, wrapped in the blanket, her black hair loose, and rubbed her temples a few times.
Something seemed to have happened in the middle of the night last night. But there was nothing unusual around her, and when she rolled up her sleeves, the bracelet was still on her wrist.
It seems she just had a vivid dream about being robbed.
After going through yesterday's events from beginning to end, she realized that she had not only played the role of a scheming woman to sow discord between Duan Lansheng and Yin Xiaozhu, but had also gone mad and bit the latter's neck twice. She felt regretful and embarrassed, her face burning, and she rubbed her hair.
Looking back now, Yin Xiaozhu was probably just worried about her and was just teasing her. Her bottom was perfectly fine, without even a mark. Yet she had bitten someone's neck until it bled.
Alcohol is really not a good thing. Drinking too much can make you impulsive, reckless, and unable to be yourself.
She never drank it again.
Suddenly unsure how to face Yin Xiaozhu, Lu Yuanyuan sighed, got up to wash and change her clothes, and slipped out when no one was looking.
Stop thinking about it too much and get down to business.
Today, she is going to choose her own sword.
