Chapter 158 – Bickering Couple and More Tails!
Liu Zhi was smiling happily, while the Inscription Saint looked concerned.
"You are not allowed to drink too much!" He reprimanded her for the first time in front of others.
Liu Zhi clicked her tongue, "You are no fun!" and pouted.
Chen Shi shook his head, but he couldn't allow her to drink too much.
Lady Liu pouted and protested like a child, but she was still not allowed to drink too much alcohol.
Aiko found this funny, as this side of Liu Zhi, she never saw. Liu Zhi was always refined and graceful, but this childish demeanour was likewise cute.
They kept 'fighting' over alcohol while Aiko watched them in interest. If it was anything like Mei and Blood Fox they would have already pounced on each other.
Aiko even heard that the arena was always destroyed in the process!
"How about seducing him?" Aiko mumbled absent-mindedly.
The air froze.
"What do you take me for?!" Liu Zhi glared at Aiko, but she was blushing furiously like she was wronged.
Chen Shi could not say anything, since he, indeed, would cave in to her advances.
"I mean, you would be able to get anything with just a bit- Au, au, au." Aiko tried to explain herself, but Lady Liu pinched her cheeks.
"I'm not like that!" She kept glaring at Aiko.
"Oway." Aiko agreed, even if it didn't hurt she didn't want Lady Liu to strain herself.
Aiko conceded and let Lady Liu do anything just so she would calm down.
...
They returned to their rooms and Aiko thought about it.
"We should get stronger..." Aiko wanted to get stronger so that she would be able to see more of the world and bring Mei a lot of gifts for her care. 'I would not be here without the Pills and other tools she is readily giving me...' Aiko found this behaviour strange, but she would not dwell on it too much.
'I... want to make Mei happy.' When Mei was not fighting with Blood Fox and worked on Pills, she... looked very sad and melancholic.
Aiko wanted to ask a few times, but Mei had this unapproachable air surrounding her, making it more difficult for Aiko to ask.
She soon gave up and behaved more obediently in front of Mei to lighten her mood.
'But it's not enough.' Aiko thought that maybe if she brought things for Mei, then she would cheer up.
Aiko made a mental plan about this so that when they visited the capital they would go shopping a lot.
'But in order to do that, I need more strength, to keep those gifts safe.' Aiko suddenly thought about more tails...
'I want more tails...' Aiko narrowed her eyes and sure enough.
