“Stop, stop, stop! Let’s take a break!”
Grimy from Bai Xiaocha’s control making her body roll around nonstop, Xia Yue finally couldn’t take it anymore.
On the other side, Bai Xiaocha was also parched and panting heavily from exhaustion.
“Then… then we’ll rest for a bit… But I’m not giving up!”
Bai Xiaocha was surprisingly stubborn this time.
After all…
Mr. Ghost said if she lost, she’d have to cosplay as a loli succubus and seduce gross uncles!
“Ahem, hey, Xiaocha, I’ve got an idea.”
Xia Yue controlled Bai Xiaocha’s body to sit cross-legged, and Bai Xiaocha copied her.
The two of them now sat cross-legged on the ground, facing each other.
“I’m not listening! You’re definitely trying to trick me~ I’m not stupid!”
Bai Xiaocha tilted her little head up slightly, wearing a look that clearly said, ‘I’m so smart, don’t even think about fooling me.’
“Not at all, I really do have a good idea.”
Xia Yue sighed.
Why was this silly loli being so stubborn today? Not cute at all~
“First, take off your earpiece.”
As she spoke, Xia Yue took control and used Bai Xiaocha’s hand to pluck the earpiece from Bai Xiaocha’s ear and toss it far away.
Bai Xiaocha gave her a puzzled look, then also removed and discarded the earpiece from Xia Yue’s ear.
She actually didn’t want Mr. Ghost to hear their conversation either, but she was also afraid of giving him an excuse to use her body for that loli succubus cosplay.
“Xiaocha, think about it. If you win, you punish me. If I win, I punish you. But what if… we both win?”
Xia Yue spoke with a sneaky tone.
“What do you mean?”
Bai Xiaocha’s brain couldn’t quite grasp it.
“Well, it’s just that the victory condition only says ‘snatch the panties from your own head.’ There’s no time limit or limit on the number of winners. That means… both of us could win~”
Xia Yue explained patiently.
Hearing it put that way, Bai Xiaocha thought it made a lot of sense.
If she and Xia Yue both won, she wouldn’t give Mr. Ghost an excuse to punish her, nor would she be punished by Xia Yue.
Sure, she’d lose the chance to teach Xia Yue a lesson, but it was fine. Getting Xia Yue all dusty from rolling around earlier was pretty good revenge already!
“Okay, then it’s settled. Let’s count down from three, and we’ll both take off our panties at the same time!”
Bai Xiaocha nodded, forming an alliance with Xia Yue!
Xia Xi sat in the control room, watching the two girls babbling about who-knows-what, utterly bewildered.
Logically, shouldn’t they have resumed their “battle” after a short rest? Why were they chatting now?
Wait!
What were they doing? Why were they both reaching out at the same time, without even trying to stop each other?
This wasn’t right!
[Game Over. Winners: Xia Yue, Bai Xiaocha.]
The mechanical voice echoed over the arena.
Simultaneously, a mission prompt sounded in Xia Xi’s mind.
[Temporary Mission Complete. Reward: Bai Xiaocha’s Favorability Increased.]
[Temporary Mission Failed. Please accept the punishment on behalf of Bai Xiaocha.]
What did that mean?
How could it be both successful and failed?
Before Xia Xi could ponder further, he felt the world spin.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the small dark room where Xia Yue had tickled him before.
Just like last time, his hands and feet were bound to a chair.
“She’s Mr. Ghost, right?”
Xia Yue asked the Bai Xiaocha beside her.
“Probably… maybe… possibly… yes…”
Bai Xiaocha looked somewhat apologetically at her own Mr. Ghost.
She hadn’t expected that winning with Xia Yue would mean Mr. Ghost had to accept punishment from both of them.
“Then that settles it.”
Xia Yue chuckled and picked up an “Ultra, Ultra, Ultra Spicy Chili Pepper” from the nearby props table.
“Mr. Ghost~ Little Yue wants to be your friend too~ You can’t just look after Xiaocha alone, can you~”
Watching the chili pepper get closer and closer to his mouth, Xia Xi began struggling frantically.
“Don’t come near me! Stay away! I don’t want to eat that thing!”
Unfortunately, Xia Xi’s resistance was futile.
Xia Yue pinched his cheeks, forcing his small mouth open.
A chili pepper was easily slipped inside.
Xia Yue even thoughtfully held his chin, helping him with the chewing motion.
“Spicy, spicy, spicy! Water! I need water!”
Xia Xi’s face, which originally belonged to Bai Xiaocha, flushed bright red in an instant, the speed of the temperature change reminiscent of a chameleon.
He stuck his tongue out, finding that only cool air offered slight relief from the burning.
Every secretion and swallow of saliva was pure torture.
The chili pepper was actually only about as spicy as regular spicy instant noodles, but Xia Xi was currently in Bai Xiaocha’s form. This girl’s tolerance for spice was far too low, making the experience particularly agonizing for him.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ghost. Little Yue will get you some water right away~”
Xia Yue narrowed her eyes and brought over a cup of steaming hot water for Xia Xi.
“Hiss, pant Pour it in my mouth! Hiss, pant“
Xia Xi kept sucking in cool air.
With his hands bound, he couldn’t even drink water himself and had to rely on Xia Yue to help.
Xia Yue nodded with a mischievous smile, bringing the cup to Xia Xi’s lips to help him drink.
The next second!
Xia Xi’s eyes flew wide open.
This was… this was hot water!!!
Hot water combined with chili peppers—the sensation in his mouth was simply hellish!
“Oh my, Mr. Ghost is so grateful he’s crying~”
Xia Yue covered her mouth, her eyes like a cunning little fox, full of glee.
You darn annoying little sister! Just you wait! I’m cutting your allowance this month!!!
“Um… Xia Yue, maybe we shouldn’t punish Mr. Ghost anymore… It didn’t really do anything wrong…”
Bai Xiaocha, watching from the side, felt a sense of empathy.
After all, Xia Xi was currently using her appearance, so it looked like she herself was being bullied by Xia Yue.
“Oh? Xiaocha, how about this then~”
Xia Yue winked at Bai Xiaocha, then pressed a button next to Xia Xi.
A flash of white light later.
Xia Xi’s appearance changed from the pitiful, teary-eyed Bai Xiaocha to a teary-eyed, overly sweet-looking Xia Yue.
“It, it, it! Mr. Ghost turned into you!”
Bai Xiaocha finally saw the large characters next to the button: ‘Appearance Transformation.’
Since there were two winners for the game, Xia Xi could be transformed into either contestant’s appearance to accept punishment.
So…
“Sorry, Mr. Ghost! You said you’d help me teach Xia Yue a lesson… Now you are Xia Yue… So…”
Xia Xi looked at the approaching Bai Xiaocha with sheer terror in his eyes.
“Get away! Go ‘way!”
The lingering spice from the chili made his speech a bit slurred.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ghost, I’ll be very gentle~”
[Achievement Unlocked: A World Where Only One Person Gets Hurt.]
….
“Brother Xia Xi, did you have a nightmare last night?”
An Xiaoyu poured a cup of hot milk for Xia Xi, looking at the deep dark circles under his eyes with concern.
“Yeah… To think my glorious reputation was tarnished by a silly loli! Woe is me!”
An Xiaoyu: “?”
