"Of course, I made it myse—" Before Kiana could finish, Fu Lin wriggled away in terror, eyeing the porridge as though it were a lethal poison.
"Smack!" Kiana's expression turned stormy as she watched him evade her. The spoon in her hand snapped in two, and the hot porridge spilled onto her lap.
"Gulp! How about... I cook something for you instead?" Seeing this, Fu Lin swallowed hard, speaking cautiously and avoiding direct eye contact with Kiana, all while silently begging for help.
Fu Lin's inner thought: Fu Shi! If you don't come soon, you'll only find my corpse!
--------------------
Time rewinds to a few hours ago...
"One person... two people... ten people... I wonder what Ah Ming will bring back." Fu Shi lay sprawled on the windowsill, bored, counting the passersby.
"Mr. Fu Lin should be back soon," Yae Sakura said, holding a cup of tea and watching a romance drama on TV.
"But he's been out for 4 minutes and 32 seconds already," Fu Shi complained, rolling back onto the bed and twisting around, completely ignoring Higokumaru who was being squashed underneath her.
"Let me out! You're horrible!" Higokumaru cried out in despair.
"..." Watching Fu Shi roll around, Yae Sakura rubbed her temples, starting to suspect that Fu Lin had tricked her into being a babysitter.
"Why'd you suddenly quiet down?" Fu Shi noticed Higokumaru had stopped struggling and frowned, sensing something unusual.
"Time stop? Is Fu Lin up to something sneaky again?" Fu Shi stared at the motionless Higokumaru, her first thought being that Fu Lin was doing something shady rather than being in danger.
"How could any sneaky business not include the great Herrscher of Sentience herself?" Fu Shi said with a smirk, flexing her fingers before summoning her blade and dashing out.
"Let me see where you are…"
"Huh? Why can't I sense Fu Lin's location? Don't tell me something really happened!" Fu Shi's expression changed, doubt creeping into her voice.
"Getting into trouble just by stepping out—what a troublesome person," Fu Shi grumbled as she sped toward the place where Fu Lin had disappeared.
"No signs of a fight, not even a trace of Honkai energy... Could I have been mistaken?" Fu Shi stood in an ordinary-looking alley, beginning to doubt herself.
"He's gone to another world again..." Fu Shi recalled Fu Lin's talk about a compensation reward, feeling a bit bored as she flew back to the hotel.
The scene shifts back...
"...I won't eat this (disgusted)."
"And you deserve a little punishment too~" Kiana smirked, looking at Fu Lin and the hot porridge on her thigh, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Am I really that bad at eating? Wait, what are you doing?! No, stop!" Fu Lin shouted, horrified, as Kiana suddenly started smiling wickedly. He didn't need to think twice to know she was up to no good.
Ignoring his protests, Kiana forcefully pinned Fu Lin on her thigh and made him lick the spilled porridge clean.
"This is too much!" Fu Lin's face flushed bright red as he stubbornly turned his head away.
"I make the rules here," Kiana said, gripping Fu Lin's chin with one hand while scooping the porridge off her thigh with the other, bit by bit, and feeding it into his mouth.
"??!!! It's actually… not bad." Fu Lin blinked in surprise as he tasted the food, his gaze shifting to the bowl of porridge in Kiana's hands.
"Of course! I've been diligently honing my cooking skills," Kiana said, puffing out her chest proudly after hearing his praise.
"Untie me, and I'll eat on my own," Fu Lin said, wriggling uncomfortably and giving her a pitiful look.
"No way~ I'm feeding you myself." Kiana dismissed his plea without a second thought, pouring more porridge onto her thigh bit by bit.
"Wait, you're feeding me? Then why are you pouring it on your leg? Isn't it hot?" Fu Lin asked, confused by her actions, still unaware of the gravity of the situation.
"Of course, I'm feeding you." Kiana struck a dramatic pose, resting her leg on Fu Lin's face. As time passed, the hot porridge dripped down her skin, sliding into Fu Lin's mouth.
"I'm not eating this! Let me go! I'm calling the police!" Fu Lin finally realized the truth: Kiana was a total pervert. This realization made his heart race in panic.
