Peach-Orange! – Chapter 433 – The Dragon King Reappears

Chi Xiaocheng’s perspective was different from Su Tao’s.

Although they both took body measurements once, she felt somewhat disappointed by Su Tao’s performance.

Perhaps because the girl’s mindset hadn’t been fully corrected yet, Su Tao no longer rejected girls and even liked her a lot now.

However, Su Tao’s affection for her seemed limited only to the area above the neck?

Earlier, Chi Xiaocheng had tried pretending to sleep at night to see what Su Tao would do to her. The result was that Su Tao only dared to sneak a few kisses or bury her nose near her neck and hair to take a few deep breaths.

The most daring thing she did was secretly touch her waist… and even then, only with her fingertips or nails. She didn’t even dare to place her whole hand there!

At the time, Chi Xiaocheng wondered:

‘Is Tao-Tao too reserved?’

‘Or does she know I’m pretending to sleep?’

‘With my intermediate acting skills, faking sleep should be easy, right?’

But after several nights of pretending, Su Tao still acted the same way.

Combined with her reaction during the body measurements, she realized: Su Tao was straight to the bone!

‘I’m standing here blushing and completely defenseless in front of you. You’re measuring my body, and you don’t even take advantage?’

Yet, Chi Xiaocheng could see an eagerness in Su Tao’s eyes.

Now she wasn’t sure if Su Tao was truly dense or just fixated on her lips and nothing else.

No wonder, even after becoming a couple, this blockhead never pushed for more. The mental barrier of her straight mindset hadn’t been fully broken yet.

Or perhaps, Su Tao hadn’t truly realized the allure of Chi Xiaocheng as a girl. The only thing she seemed aware of was those soft, sweet lips of hers.

During this time, Chi Xiaocheng had been saving up Emotional Points, barely scraping together another 2,000. She even considered calling Si Chen over to ask if he had given Su Tao the glasses.

If he hadn’t, she’d take them back and unlock new functions to see Su Tao’s stats for other body parts.

Ah, forget it. Better to keep saving for dealing with the “heaven-sent female rival” later.

But the best news during this period was that Tao-Tao hadn’t been influenced by the World Will. For now… she’d wait for Si Chen’s updates.

Once safety was confirmed, they’d move back home and resume normal life.

Over the next half-month, Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao lived relatively uneventfully. As safety became more assured, Si Chen, busy investigating the Head Maid, visited less often.

Even after Su Tao saw the stats through the glasses, the System and Xiao Hei’s fears didn’t materialize: her affection didn’t explode or decline.

The World Will seemed stuck, making no further moves on Su Tao.

Aside from being extra irritable during her period, Su Tao acted completely normal. Even the Head Maid, whom Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen expected to replace Chu Lingfeng in scheming, remained inactive.

Things were so peaceful that Chi Xiaocheng almost wondered if the System and Xiao Hei had secretly destroyed the World Will.

Once safety was preliminarily confirmed, the two moved back to the cleansed Jasmine Neighborhood from Si Chen’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Head Maid they were wary of frowned as she stepped out of an off-road vehicle.

Facing endless wilderness with two suited bodyguards, even the confident Head Maid couldn’t help asking, “Are you sure it’s here? This is practically the outskirts of Jiuzhou. The nearest town is two hours away by car.”

A bodyguard nodded respectfully. “According to our informant, the Dragon King is temporarily residing here.”

The Head Maid’s frown deepened. “The Temple of Asura keeps declining. Each generation of Dragon Kings grows more cowardly.”

Unless there was a hidden utopia here, she felt this trip would be wasted.

After walking for who-knows-how-long through barren paths, they finally spotted a small, bustling village.

The moment they appeared on the trail, several armed men emerged from the bushes, guns raised.

Leading them was Special Envoy Qiu. Eyeing the elegantly dressed woman in an English maid outfit, he frowned. “You found this place alone? State your purpose, or we won’t be polite.”

The Head Maid replied coolly, “Tell your Dragon King the Head Maid is here to see him.”

Special Envoy Qiu raised a brow. “Your name?”

“Just tell him that. If I found this place and know Xiao Ming’s title, you should realize I’m not lost.”

After scrutinizing the unflinching woman and her equally calm bodyguards, Special Envoy Qiu gestured for his men to lower their guns.

After a whispered exchange with a subordinate, he led her into the village. “My apologies, Miss Maid. Duty calls.”

The Head Maid shook her head. “You were doing your job. But why is this your base? And why is it… under construction?”

The village was a bizarre mix of crumbling mud houses and half-built modern homes.

Tattooed men in suits hauled bricks and mixed cement like construction workers, a comical sight.

Special Envoy Qiu coughed awkwardly. “The Dragon King has his reasons.”

They soon reached the village center, where Xiao Ming was. He was unkempt and roguish, squatting with a cup of instant noodles and reading a comic.

Spotting the Head Maid, he slurped his noodles and ordered a subordinate, “Serve our guest.”

As she sat on a handmade wooden chair, a subordinate handed her a freshly brewed cup of “Master Handsome” Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles. “Extra beef, ma’am. Hope you like it.”

Staring at the greasy noodles, the Head Maid’s face darkened. “Xiao Ming, after six months back in the country, you’ve sunk lower than a dog.”

Xiao Ming chuckled. “Miss Song Liyin, such sharp words will scare men away. Though, your early return surprises me more. Could it be… the Young Miss is back too?”
