5: Too Humiliating
Yuan Xiaoning couldn’t sit still after reading the task requirements.
Simple deception would be fine, like lying about having breakfast when she hadn’t. But the requirement was to make Bai Ling feel deceived and tricked. With her current mentality, how severe would it have to be?
“No, I have to leave.”
Her clothes weren’t torn, just the skirt was a bit short, and her underwear wasn’t quite dry, but she could manage to wear them. Most importantly… she figured the door wasn’t even locked.
Did that Bai Ling think she would submit like characters in doujinshi, obediently waiting for the next assault just because she had been violated?
How ridiculous.
Yuan Xiaoning chuckled, laughing at the protagonist’s lack of strategy and Bai Ling’s foolishness. Leaving such a mentally sound beauty like herself in the house without even locking the door—if she couldn’t fight, couldn’t she at least run?
Put on shoes and make a run for it!
The blonde girl stepped out of the bedroom door. As her first step touched the floor, she suddenly felt dizzy, with strange images appearing in her mind.
All were various manga she had read in her past life, especially those featuring Kashiwazaki Sena.
“Strange, why am I suddenly thinking about these things,” Yuan Xiaoning muttered softly, “I’m not that kind of person.”
With the second step, the scene in her mind changed again, last night’s eight-hour blood battle surfacing. Due to the angle, she could only see the large white rabbits bouncing up and down like a roller coaster ride.
Well, the view below was blocked by the white rabbits, invisible.
“This is the shame of my life… no, both lives,” the blonde girl gritted her teeth, “I’ll remember this grudge.”
But come to think of it, why would she think of so many things just from taking a few steps?
By the fifth step, she had reached the corridor entrance, less than ten steps away from the front door.
But at this moment, the white rabbits started swaying, as if she wasn’t walking on a flat tiled floor, but on a steep, rugged mountain path.
Moreover, Yuan Xiaoning felt a strange sensation in her body, a tingling numbness that made her want to lie down and then…
[Heart lock detected,] the system’s voice sounded, [It will trigger when you perform certain actions, invading your consciousness and nerves to cause changes in your body, achieving the effect of controlling you from doing certain things.]
Yuan Xiaoning was slightly stunned, then understood.
The mind lock, obviously Bai Ling’s doing. As soon as she attempted to escape, her body would start behaving strangely under the mind lock’s control, until she couldn’t walk, wanting to do nothing but().
“Despicable!” the blonde girl cursed inwardly.
She finally understood why Bai Ling chuckled when leaving, not caring whether she was awake or not.
“But even so, do you think I’ll submit? Laughable.”
Yuan Xiaoning stepped into the corridor, resolutely walking towards the front door. It was just ten steps, what could happen even if she felt something?
Second step, her waist weakened, she could only walk while supporting herself against the wall.
Fourth step, her body felt hot, her vision becoming blurry.
Sixth step, her legs trembled, she could barely walk.
She couldn’t stop. The door to freedom was right before her eyes. As long as she didn’t stop walking, once she pushed open the door, the vast world would extend the path for her.
So, don’t stop. As long as she could reach that place, that…
Seventh step, thud! Yuan Xiaoning sat down on her bottom.
She couldn’t reach that place, she…
Slipped.

“The location of our houses is good, fully furnished. Look how well the facilities in the community are done. Someone will buy it soon, it won’t be rented for even a day.”
Bai Ling couldn’t afford to buy now, she could only rent, but the landlord was unwilling.
She was about to speak when she suddenly sensed something, a playful smile appearing on her face.
The little toy at home was restless, so she should go back earlier.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling stopped dawdling, a faint crimson light flashing in her eyes.
“Boss, could you reconsider?”
“What’s there to reconsider? This house must… must be rented to you,” the chubby landlord uncle changed his attitude, “Not selling anymore, it won’t work for anyone else who comes.”
After rightfully receiving the keys, registering with the property management, and getting takeout from a restaurant outside the community, she leisurely walked back.

Yuan Xiaoning sat on the ground, looking up at the ceiling, her eyes hollow, with a few strands of crystal-clear saliva at the corners of her mouth.
Several minutes passed before she made a faint, ethereal sound.
“Why, system, why is it like this?”
[Level 5 is the peak of mental invasion. It’s normal for the host to be unable to resist a Level 5 mind lock.]
“No, you don’t understand. What I want to ask is, where’s my water control ability?”
Aren’t I the Water Dragon King? Why can’t I even control my own water?
The system was silent for a moment, then said:
[You can control it now, the stuff on your legs and the ground. As for earlier when it was inside your body, because it was in the process of chemical synthesis, conceptually it doesn’t count as water.]
Yuan Xiaoning closed her eyes, speechless.
She didn’t want to hear about chemistry or concepts. She only knew she couldn’t escape now.
“Then what use is this water control ability to me now?”
[You can separate the moisture from your skirt and underwear to keep your intimate apparel dry and hygienic.] The system thoughtfully offered advice.
The blonde girl’s mouth twitched.
“Thank you very much.”
But the advice was indeed correct. Yuan Xiaoning concentrated, controlling the moisture to separate from her intimate apparel, flowing into the bathroom along with the water on the ground.
This wasn’t difficult at all for the Level 3 Water Dragon King, just a bit unfamiliar. The water flow stumbled on its way to the bathroom, accidentally splashing against the door with a “pa” sound, and had to be gathered again.
“Phew, done.”
The floor was clean, the clothes were clean, and the underwear was dry. Yuan Xiaoning was clean and hygienic all over. She lay down on the big bed in the bedroom as if nothing had happened.
That’s right, she intended to pretend that she hadn’t done anything. Having lost face so badly, she couldn’t let Bai Ling know.

Speak of the devil, Bai Ling was back, carrying a bag of meal boxes.
Yuan Xiaoning smelled the aroma of food from afar. Seeing the white-haired girl enter, she eagerly reached out to take it.
But Bai Ling lightly raised her hand, and the busty girl’s little hand grasped empty air.
“Want to eat?” she asked, looking down from above.
Yuan Xiaoning nodded vigorously.
Eat, of course she wanted to eat. Did you know how much energy was consumed in eight hours?
But Bai Ling raised it even higher.
“Food is for good children,” she said flatly, “Is Xiaoning a good girl?”
“Mm-hmm, yes,” Yuan Xiaoning hurriedly said, “I am.”
She didn’t want to be so humiliated, but she needed to eat to have the strength to resist, so she would endure the humiliation for now.
Bai Ling smiled eerily.
“Not being good, yet lying about being a good girl. Xiaoning is a bad girl.”
She put the meal box aside and pressed herself onto Yuan Xiaoning.
“If a bad girl wants to eat, she must accept punishment first.”
