Volume 3 + Chapter 63: Temptation
Just when Yue Liu thought the matter was over, Xia Yi pulled out a piece of paper and placed it in front of her.
She even wanted Yue Liu to sign it.
At first, Yue Liu was a bit confused, not understanding Xia Yi’s intentions.
But once she read the contents, she immediately panicked.
“I, Princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Yue Liu – Jitusierzhuoya, in gratitude for a single meal, hereby willingly pledge myself to Princess of the Silver Dragon Clan, Xia Yi – Christie—”
At that point, Yue Liu slammed the table and stood up. She didn’t need to read any further.
This was basically a contract of servitude.
All because of one meal—was she supposed to sell herself?!
What kind of joke is this!!
Was that all she was worth? Just one meal?
“You’ve gone too far, Rival!”
Yue Liu glared at Xia Yi.
“I’m the princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan! I carry the future of my people! A bright future awaits! How could I possibly stoop beneath a dragon?!”
The most outrageous part was, this agreement didn’t even use false names—it listed both of their real identities, meaning the contract wouldn’t just be valid in the human realm.
Even after they returned to their respective races, it would still be legally binding.
All that—for just one meal.
This kind of scheme was way too blatant—it was like the abacus beads were about to fly off and hit the little fox in the face.
“Well? What’s your answer?” Xia Yi asked.
“I refuse!” Yue Liu answered firmly, turning her head to the side.
“A princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan who dines and dashes? If word gets out, people will laugh their teeth out,” Xia Yi sighed. “Going on and on about being my ‘rival,’ and now this? So disappointing.”
“Ugh…!”
That hit Yue Liu right in the pride. But she couldn’t fall for this trap. If she caved now, she’d be done for—tied for life to this deviously evil silver dragon.
“Either way, I will never agree to this contract. Don’t even think about it.”
“Alright then.”
Xia Yi stood up, walked around to stand in front of Yue Liu, and extended her hand.
“What… what does this mean?” Yue Liu frowned.
“Give it back.”
“What?”
“Lunch. Return it to me. That was my food, and you ate it.”
“Didn’t you say I could eat it?”
“Sure. You can eat as much as you want—as long as you sign the agreement. I’ll even cover your living expenses at Laurel Tree Academy. You won’t have to worry about anything.”
Xia Yi proudly patted her own modest chest.
She had the Lawrence family backing her, after all. Keith would definitely pay for it. The Dragon Clan had deep pockets. Supporting one extra little fox wasn’t a problem at all.
“…No way!”
Yue Liu still held her ground. She couldn’t fall into Xia Yi’s hands.
Her whole goal was to conquer Xia Yi—not be conquered by her!
“Fine. Give the lunch back.”
“Fine!!”
Yue Liu almost gritted her teeth as she agreed. She opened her mouth, inserted her delicate fingers, and prepared to tickle her throat to forcibly vomit up the lunch—
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Xia Yi was completely freaked out by Yue Liu’s action. Good grief—this fox carrot was intense. No faking it—she played for real.
“If you puke it up, that’s not lunch anymore. I don’t want it.”
“Then what do you expect me to do?!”
“Not my problem. Figure it out. Or go to the cafeteria and buy me a replacement with your own money.”
“But…”
Yue Liu had nothing to say.
She was flat broke. Where was she supposed to find money?
Was she supposed to pluck her own tail fur and sell it?
“Then I’ll write an IOU!”
“That works.” Xia Yi agreed.
Yue Liu sat back down, pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote an IOU, clearly stating how much she owed.
“Rival, this should be good enough, right?”
“Something’s missing, Fox Carrot.”
Xia Yi took the pen and added another line.
“Interest?”
“Yep. If it’s a loan, there has to be interest, right?”
“This interest is outrageous!”
“You don’t have to accept it. We can go back to our previous discussion—give me back the lunch.”
“Tch…! Fine, this is the only way.”
Yue Liu thought about it. After all, it was just lunch money. The interest couldn’t be that—
“Oh, and this part too.”
Xia Yi added seriously.
“Aside from today’s meal, you also owe me from before. Remember when you didn’t have enough money for the dorm repair? I covered the rest. Yep, that counts too.”
After Xia Yi added in the money she had previously chipped in, Yue Liu looked at the total and wavered.
“This… this is way too much!! With interest, you’re being a total loan shark!!”
“Hey, I’m not forcing you to pick this option. There’s a much more pleasant alternative: sign this, behave yourself, and not only will you be free of all debt and interest—you’ll also get free lunch every day…”
Xia Yi picked up the other contract and began to tempt her.
“What do you want me to do?” Yue Liu frowned.
“What do I want you to do?” Xia Yi put on an air of mystery. “What do you think I’d ask you to do? It has to be something only you can do for me…”
“Only I… can satisfy…?!”
In a flash, Yue Liu’s mind filled with all sorts of wild thoughts—each more absurd and outrageous than the last. And more… indecent—ahem!
In any case, anything that could make this evil silver dragon go so far—tempting and threatening her into signing a contract and obeying orders—couldn’t possibly be something innocent!
“Be mentally prepared. Don’t get scared. This is something that absolutely cannot be told to anyone else…”
“Absolutely can’t be told?!” Yue Liu grew even more nervous.
“Only the two of us can know about this.”
Xia Yi leaned close to Yue Liu’s ear and whispered the mysterious and terrifying demand.
“I want you to—”
“—Want me?!” Yue Liu’s heart pounded even harder.
“I want you… to do my homework!”
“…Huh?”
“Hehehe,” Xia Yi’s grin widened, “I want you to do my homework. I want you to help with my class reports. I want you to get up in the middle of the night and buy me late-night snacks…”
“This… this…?!”
Yue Liu was dumbfounded. None of what she imagined came close to this.
This is what she meant by terrifying?
It was just Xia Yi wanting to slack off and force someone else to do her stuff!
Still, even with demands like this, Yue Liu would never comply.
As the Princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, she would never bow to a silver dragon princess!
“I’ll sign the IOU—I’ll pay the money back! But as for that contract—no way!”
Yue Liu signed the IOU and stuffed it into Xia Yi’s hands, then declared in a proud and determined voice.
“Rival, just wait—I will defeat you fair and square!”
With that, the little fox ran off, leaving the dorm.
Xia Yi looked at the IOU in her hand, then at the contract, and smiled.
Whatever.
Truthfully, the little princess never seriously expected Yue Liu to pay her back—she was just teasing her.
Watching the little fox squirm was just too fun~
Satisfied, Xia Yi burned the IOU.
Then, glancing at the clock, she suddenly remembered—she had someone to meet.
There was still an important matter she hadn’t taken care of yet.
