After crossing over, this was the first time Velina had gone on a trip with good friends, the first time she had met the legendary Conqueror of Demons, and the first time she had come to the long-awaited Wangshu Inn.
Yet why… why did things end up like this in the end?
Velina sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Hu Tao’s unyielding gaze.
She felt that she probably couldn’t escape this.
“Actually, I really can do it myself…”
She still wanted to struggle one last time.
“I’m just helping you check how serious the injury is.
I’m not going to eat you… Be good and don’t move around.”
Hu Tao clearly wasn’t thinking that much and directly took action.
Velina looked at Hu Tao in front of her, her feelings especially complicated.
At the same time, some worry inevitably arose in her heart.
It probably… doesn’t have any strange smell, right?
No, what on earth am I thinking!
It’s all that porridge guy’s fault!
Velina vigorously shook her head, casting aside those strange thoughts.
“Did I hurt you?”
Hu Tao noticed Velina’s movement and looked up to ask.
“Ah?
No no.” Velina shook her head repeatedly.
“That’s good.”
As Hu Tao spoke, she let out a long breath.
“Finally got it off.”
The foot wearing a white sock was freed from the shoe’s restraint and exposed to the air.
It was obvious that the toes inside were moving restlessly.
Velina discreetly sniffed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Thank goodness.
She didn’t smell anything strange.
This could also be considered one of her current physical traits — a beautiful girl’s body was always fragrant!
“It might hurt a little next.
Velina, bear with it for a bit.”
Before her next action, Hu Tao didn’t forget to give a reminder.
“Mm.”
Velina nodded.
Hu Tao carefully rolled up Velina’s pant leg, revealing a section of smooth calf, then reached toward her final target.
“Mm…”
Velina involuntarily let out a suppressed soft moan.
She clearly wanted to endure it, but she simply couldn’t control herself!
“I’ll be gentle.
It’ll be over soon.”
Hu Tao focused on her hands and finally pulled off that clean, seemingly just-worn little white sock past the ankle.
At the originally delicate ankle, unlike the fair skin of other parts, there was an uncoordinated bluish-purple bruise.
“It’s fine.
It’s just an ordinary sprain.
Rest for a while and it’ll be okay.”
Seeing this, Hu Tao finally let out a breath of relief.
It hadn’t been easy bringing Velina out to play. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
If something serious really happened because of this, she would never forgive herself.
Hu Tao casually pulled the sock completely off.
It was perfect, like a carefully carved work of art.
The faint cyan veins on the instep were like blue-and-white patterns on fine porcelain.
Perhaps due to shyness, the pearl-like crystalline toes were tightly pressed together.
“Velina, your feet are so small.”
Hu Tao couldn’t help sighing.
Velina: ?
Was she going to say “so white” and “so fragrant” next, then fast-forward straight to sleeping together?
Hu Tao, stop saying weird things.
“Hu Tao, stop messing around.” Velina felt her face getting a little hot.
“I’m not messing around.
What I said is the truth, you know,” Hu Tao said discontentedly.
Fortunately, things did not develop in a strange direction.
Hu Tao only sighed once.
She still remembered what she needed to do.
“I’m going to apply the medicine for you, okay?”
As Hu Tao said this, she poured the medicine onto her palm and gently massaged it onto Velina’s ankle.
First came a cool sensation.
After the soreness, it turned into a faint warmth.
“Hu Tao, you seem… quite skilled at this?”
Velina’s slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
She asked curiously.
“Of course.
Besides handling mortal funeral rites, maintaining the balance between life and death is also part of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s duties.
Traveling far and wide isn’t unusual, and the same goes for the occasional bumps and falls.”
Hu Tao’s tone was relaxed.
“But I like my current identity.”
Without Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Liyue’s mortal world wouldn’t have this kind of peace.
She might not have met Velina either.
Besides, Velina’s skin was really nice.
It felt warm, smooth, and delicate, just like top-grade mutton-fat white jade.
Velina lay back on the bed and looked at the light on the ceiling.
Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Liyue novelist, and Xiangling who aspired to be a great chef.
How nice.
Each of them had a bright future.
Then she gradually started feeling that something was wrong.
Originally, only her twisted ankle was being massaged.
Although it hurt a little, she could barely endure it.
But now her entire foot was sending strange sensations.
So weird.
It felt like there was a Paimon crawling on her body.
Unable to hold back any longer, Velina sat up directly and met Hu Tao’s eyes as the latter noticed her movement.
“Ehehe, I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like touching it to see.”
While helping Velina apply the medicine, Hu Tao had been watching the little foot that would occasionally curl up and then stretch out with her movements. New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
She couldn’t resist wanting to touch it and see what kind of reaction Velina would have.
It would definitely be interesting.
And the facts were exactly as she expected.
The girl’s cheeks were slightly red.
She lightly bit her red lips, and her eyes seemed to hold a watery sheen.
Even Hu Tao couldn’t help but stare blankly for a moment.
Velina wanted to glare at her.
What did “ehehe” mean?
But then again, since everyone was a girl now, pinching and touching a bit was reasonable… Reasonable my ass!
She had only become a girl.
Although she was now wearing a little skirt and soaking in hot springs with girls, Velina believed that, just like before crossing over, she still had an unchanging soul.
“How is it, how is it?
My massage technique isn’t bad, right?”
Hu Tao stood up and asked cutely with her hands on her hips.
In her heart, however, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
“Hmph.
Average.”
Velina stubbornly retorted.
“Oh?
Is that so?
Actually, this Director only used thirty percent of my strength just now.
Next, I’ll let you witness my full-power stance!”
“Alright, full marks, full marks…”
“Hmph hmph.
Saying that now?
Too late.”
“Mm, wait…”
Heaven knew where Hu Tao got so much strength from.
Fortunately, she was only playing around.
Even so, Velina, whose movement was restricted, could only frantically roll around on the bed to dodge.
Velina had good reason to suspect that Hu Tao had been planning the current scene for a long time.
On the other side.
In the kitchen, Xiangling said goodbye to Chef Yanxiao, whose face clearly said “don’t come again,” and returned to the guest room carrying one serving of Almond Tofu she had made and one serving Yanxiao had made.
She knocked on the door.
No one responded.
She frowned strangely, took out the key, and opened the door.
What greeted her eyes was the scene of the white-haired girl with disheveled clothes hugging a pillow, trying to use it to block the enemy’s attack.
“Did I… disturb you two?” Xiangling blinked and asked tentatively.
“No, you came at the perfect time.” Hu Tao was overjoyed and quickly waved her hand.
“Come help me hold her down.”
“Ah?
This… this doesn’t seem right, does it?” Xiangling hesitated.
“Xiangling, come help me quickly!” Velina, who was about to lose her grip, called for help.
Xiangling: “I’m coming to help you!”
