Cannon Fodder – Chapter 94 – Su Tao’s Possessiveness

Chi Xiaocheng was undeniably adorable.

Even with a mask covering her face, her petite figure, soft sweet voice, smooth chestnut-brown hair, and pale delicate arms visible in short sleeves all emphasized her cuteness.

But when someone intentionally tries to look ugly, the contrast becomes glaringly obvious.

After enjoying Chi Xiaocheng’s adorable smiles all this time, seeing her face caked in foundation and made unrecognizable by makeup made Su Tao’s blood boil.

She inexplicably felt like Xiaocheng’s purity had been defiled.

Noticing Su Tao’s dark expression, Chi Xiaocheng tilted her body slightly, showing a worried yet timid look. “Um… Tao-Tao, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Zeng Xiuhua and the dormmate watched Su Tao with smug smiles.

Mockingly, they said, “If it isn’t Su Tao. Why’d you follow us here? Our ‘sister’ doesn’t want you anymore. Why bother clinging where you’re not wanted?”

Su Tao slowly raised her head, gaze icy. “Your?”

Zeng Xiuhua sneered, “She used to tell me you were her good sister. These past months you’ve been chasing after scum like Ye Liang instead of her. I said she’s ours now. Got a problem?”

The dormmate added fuel, “If you can’t give her what she needs, stop pestering her, okay?”

Seeing tensions rising, Chi Xiaocheng nervously extended her small hands with a clueless, flustered expression, glancing between them as if unsure what to do.

“P-Please don’t fight… can’t we talk nicely first?” Her voice sounded even softer than usual.

Su Tao stepped forward, expression still dark, but instead of going directly to Chi Xiaocheng, she stopped three meters away.

Perhaps angry, her tone lacked its usual gentleness, carrying an unyielding firmness instead. “Xiaocheng, come here.”

Zeng Xiuhua removed her hand from Chi Xiaocheng’s shoulder, confidently raising an eyebrow. “We’re best friends, sisters and confidantes, right? I won’t let Su Tao bully you. Hide behind me.”

This was a battle for Chi Xiaocheng.

Should she hesitate?

Going to Tao-Tao without any reluctance would make her seem too easily obtained. Why would she be cherished then?

The current Xiaocheng wasn’t a yandere, after all.

Thus Chi Xiaocheng’s Intermediate Acting skill kicked into high gear.

Standing up from the chair with half-done ugly makeup, she took two steps toward Su Tao first.

Then turned back to look at Zeng Xiuhua.

Both she and the dormmate’s smiles stiffened, clearly not expecting Chi Xiaocheng to move toward Su Tao.

But facing Chi Xiaocheng’s hesitation, their stiff expressions quickly softened again.

Chi Xiaocheng turned back toward Su Tao.

After two more steps, she glanced back once more.

Her eyes now held a trace of reluctance, clearly visible to Su Tao.

Before Chi Xiaocheng could speak, Su Tao grabbed her forearm and gently pulled.

Drawing Chi Xiaocheng into her embrace.

A faint girlish fragrance reached her nose.

Su Tao shifted to shield Chi Xiaocheng behind her, though her furrowed brows showed dissatisfaction with her hesitation.

Now safely behind Su Tao, Chi Xiaocheng allowed a small smile.

‘Just like this, Tao-Tao. Let your possessiveness grow stronger~’

Not only had she resolved the original host’s two-month mistake, but also dealt with Zeng Xiuhua’s group while subtly pressuring Su Tao to nurture her possessiveness.

This was like Emperor Qin Shi Huang touching an electric door! ¹ A Chinese pun that I won’t explain here because I’m lazyyyy She was winning on all fronts!

Meanwhile, Zeng Xiuhua and the dormmate’s faces darkened at the scene.

Pointing angrily at Chi Xiaocheng, they yelled, “Chi Xiaocheng! After all we’ve done for you, treating you like a sister, helping you with everything, even buying you makeup! Yet you still cling to Su Tao? You ungrateful traitor!”

Su Tao chuckled coldly. “You’re just jealous of Xiaocheng’s cuteness! Exploiting her innocence, yet daring to say such things!”

“Makeup?” She walked to the table, picking up a small bottle. “How much could this cheap stuff cost? Besides, Xiaocheng is naturally adorable without any….”

She froze before finishing.

Staring at the product name and ingredients list, her anger flared.

“This was in the news before! It causes allergic reactions and skin ulcers. It’s banned hazardous goods! You put this on Xiaocheng?”

Grabbing Zeng Xiuhua’s collar, Su Tao lifted her single-handedly. “What else have you done to her?!”

Zeng Xiuhua’s face turned red from choking. With a violent struggle, her cheap clothing tore with a “rip” as she fell, breaking free.

Scrambling up furiously, she hissed, “Damn you Su Tao! I’ll scratch that pretty face of yours!”

She lunged with nails bared.

But Su Tao was no ordinary girl.

Hair-pulling and face-scratching?

Who plays by those rules?

The thought of Chi Xiaocheng’s face being harmed made Su Tao’s rage uncontrollable. Her hand shot out with precision, catching Zeng Xiuhua’s wrist mid-swing.

Thumb and forefinger slid between her fingers, and twisted!

A sickening “crack” of bone sounded.

Zeng Xiuhua’s face contorted as she shrieked like a slaughtered pig. “AAAAAHHHH!”

“This hurts?” Su Tao mocked. “Did you consider Xiaocheng’s face being ruined when applying that poison?”

The trembling dormmate stammered, “S-Su Tao… this is school! The administration will punish you for bullying!”

“Keep talking.”

Su Tao stepped forward, kicking her against the wall.

Coldly smiling, she said, “Aren’t you the bullies? Dongfang Yang donated a building to this school. Think he’ll take my side or yours?

“Or should we let the whole dorm watch the show?”

Another finger snapped with a crack.

Amidst screams, Su Tao kneed her stomach before tossing her aside, leaving her writhing and howling in pain on the floor.

“I’ll settle things with you later.”

Turning, Su Tao pulled Chi Xiaocheng out. “Come with me. My dorm has makeup remover. We’re cleaning that face first.”

Chi Xiaocheng hesitated timidly. “But….”

“No buts!”

Su Tao pressed a finger to her lips.

Holding her hand firmly, she marched out. “Come now. Disobey me and I’ll abandon you.”

As they walked away, she didn’t notice the eerie, triumphant smile blooming on Chi Xiaocheng’s face behind her.

Step one of the Tao-Tao cultivation plan, complete!

‘Once possessiveness takes root, there’s no turning back~’
