+18 Chapter 5: Leg Clamp Attack & Repayment

Part 1: 

"Nonsense, I haven't seen many Mondstadters as big as you!"

"That's because they are all too scrawny."

After scrubbing each other's backs and rinsing off, they sat facing each other in the bathtub. The tub was only half-filled, but with two people in it, the water was almost overflowing.

This would save a lot on water bills.

Mona usually couldn't afford such a luxurious bath. After all, buying essential astrology equipment and books each month made it hard to even afford food. How could she possibly afford the luxury of filling a whole bathtub for a bath?

It was truly luxurious, so luxurious... and comfortable~

Wrapped in the warm water, Mona couldn't help but stretch, her feet extending involuntarily. That's when she felt her soles touch something.

It was soft and fun to press, making her want to knead it with her little toes like a kitten kneading its mother for milk.

Wait, could this be... Mona saw Chen Huaian's stiff expression across from her, pulled her feet back, and hid half her face underwater, gurgling bubbles.

Awkward. She couldn't face him now.

Part 2: Leg Clamp Attack

"Do you think this is a stress ball? Why were you stepping on it like that?"

*Gurgle gurgle..* Mona pretended not to hear and averted her face.

"Keep stepping on it, why did you stop? It actually felt quite nice."

Chen Huaian was telling the truth. Mona's feet were soft, her toes flexible, and the pressure was just right. It was an experience mora couldn't buy.

"I'm sorry!" Mona couldn't hold back. "I've never touched that thing before, how was I supposed to know?"

"Didn't you see it just now? Shouldn't you have reacted immediately? Why did you keep stepping on it? Was it fun?"

"Yes! It was fun, so what!" Mona threw caution to the wind, having nothing left to fear. "It felt soft to step on, and the balls inside rolled around. It felt really good, alright!"

"Then keep going, why stop?"

"Do you think I don't dare?" Mona glared, extended her foot, and her toes once again pressed down, resuming her kitten-like kneading technique.

Now it was Chen Huaian who stiffened, not because Mona's actions were too bold, nor out of shame, but because it felt too comfortable... Mona, seeing this, thought she had won a round. Triumphant, she moved in her other foot as well, using her soles of her little feet, to reconstruct an image of this meat rod in her mind, like a blind person trying to figure out something with their sense of touch.

She thought it was a big deal, but it was nothing special after all.

"Hey, hey, that's enough. If you keep this up, I'm going to retaliate."

"Come on," Mona challenged, "who's afraid of who?"

Chen Huaian wouldn't indulge her; in fact, this was exactly the outcome he wanted. He grabbed Mona's ankles, and amidst her squeals, pulled her over, making her straddle his legs. Then, he cupped her chin and kissed her without hesitation.

"Mmph???!" Mona protests as they tries to pull away, tapping Chen Huaian's chest with her small fists, but quickly her taps turned into caresses as she moved her hand from his chest, to his abdominal muscles, to his meat rod she had started craving for.

Chen Huaian reciprocated without reserve, and then Mona, like those inconsiderate tourists in a public bathhouse, was unable to hold back as she squirted while in the tub.

She squirted quite a lot too. She indeed deserves to be a Vision holder of the Hydro element.

They couldn't remain in the tub anymore, and the water had cooled anyway. He carried the soft Mona out of the tub and then used the shower to rinse them both off.

Though Chen Huaian didn't really mind not rinsing.

After rinsing, Mona had mostly recovered. She stood up from Chen Huaian's care, and this time she wasn't shy, openly drying herself in front of him, showcasing her beautiful maiden figure.

"I'll be honest, your figure is quite good," Mona complimented him, so Chen Huaian naturally complimented her in return. "Your hips and legs are quite pretty. It's just your upper body is a bit thin. You need to eat more, eat on time, eat more meat, and gain some weight."

Mona was noncommittal. She thought that as long as she looked good, it was fine. But truthfully, weren't her ribs a bit too prominent?

Besides, if she could eat meat every meal, would she still be eating mushrooms and cabbage?

"I'll dry your hair," Chen Huaian grabbed a dry towel, placed it on Mona's head, and began rubbing it. "By the way, don't you have a Hydro Vision? Can't you dry the water from your hair?"

"Drying the water from my hair would require very precise elemental control! One mistake and I could hurt my scalp or hair. I don't have that level of control."

"Then I'll try to blow-dry your hair," Chen Huaian opened his hand, clumsily manipulating a bit of Anemo element to caress Mona's hair. After a while, he gave up; it wasn't even as fast as drying with a towel.

Her hair was mostly dry. Mona nudged Chen Huaian's chest with her elbow and said, "Clothes. Go to my room and get my pajamas."

Since she had been forcibly carried to bathe by Chen Huaian, she naturally hadn't brought any clothes. The clothes she had taken off couldn't be worn again, or the bath would have been pointless.

"There's no one else in the house but us. Let's go out." Chen Huaian, who had brought their change of clothes, wasn't wearing anything either. He pulled Mona out of the bathroom and headed to her room.

"Alright, you get a good rest tonight. I'll be watching you, so don't even think about sneaking out to do experiments late at night."

Mona, who had just picked up her pajamas and was about to put them on, paused. She looked around, seeing only her single bed. "Where will you sleep?"

"With you on the bed," Chen Huaian sat directly on the edge of the bed. "Your bed is nice. Where did you buy the mattress? I want to buy one too."

"No!" Mona panicked. She threw down her pajamas, climbed onto the bed, and pushed Chen Huaian's back. "Get out!"

"You still want to stay up late, don't you?" Chen Huaian pulled Mona into his arms and poked her ribs. "You're so thin because you stay up late. Anyway, I won't allow you to stay up late anymore."

"Are you a naggy grandmother!?" Mona struggled. "Why do you keep telling me what to do?!"

"You're right," Chen Huaian released Mona. "I said I'd feed you and take care of you. If you don't want me to, there's nothing I can do. The contract is void, and I won't be responsible for your meals starting tomorrow."

"Hmph, childish, I'm not talking to you anymore!" With that, Mona rolled over, pulled the covers over her head, and appeared like she was going to rest and ignore him.

Clearly, Mona chose eating well over staying up late to research.

With an option that would allow her to eat proper meals, who would consciously choose to starve?

Mona certainly couldn't do it.

"Scoot over a bit, I don't have any room... Let me have some of the blanket too, it'll be pretty cold during the night. Give me your pillow too, you can use my arm as a pillow, it's much more comfortable than a pillow. Can you clamp my groin with your legs? You've had your fun, but I haven't finished yet."

"You're so annoying," Mona huffed, rolling over and pinning Chen Huaian beneath her. "You're so demanding, you might as well go back and sleep alone."

"What's the fun in sleeping alone?" Chen Huaian embraced Mona, his mead rod and her vulva touching. He gently caress her back, savoring the maiden's jade-like delicate and warm skin, feeling her infinitely beautiful, slender softness.

If her ribs weren't so sharp, it would've been even better.

But one can't ask for too much, right?

A slender maiden can gain weight. With enough nutrition and some massages, her body could undergo drastic changes as quick as bamboo shoots, it's not impossible.

"Can I kiss you?"

Mona didn't reply; after all, they had already kissed, so what was there to ask?

His warm, firm chest, his masculine scent, under the searing heat of his meat rod, which seemed to be infused with the Pyro element, she felt like a slug baked in the sun and sprinkled with salt.

She had melted into a puddle.

No objection meant consent. Chen Huaian unceremoniously lifted Mona's chin and thoroughly tasted her.

Part 3: Repayment

Both Mona and Chen Huaian greatly enjoyed their intimacy.

However, this act, akin to rubbing a matchstick against sandpaper, which is a serious violation of regulations for storing dangerous goods, was bound to lead to an accident.

Just one strike from either of them could ignite and set them ablaze in a roaring fire.

If no accident occurred, then an accident would occur.

It would be difficult to figure out who lit the match first... But at least Mona would never admit it was her.

So, this blame would naturally fall on Chen Huaian's head.

But it no longer mattered.

It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, especially with their tacit agreement.

This fire crackled and popped, sending plumes of smoke through the roof, clearly heard by the nun on the rooftop, who was as blending into the night. She scoffed, left a few drops of unquenchable juice on the roof, and vanished into the night... 

The next day, Mona had to lean on walls to walk. She was still a freshly plucked flower, with legs like a young foal not fully grown. She was unable to keep up with Chen Huaian, this beast!

Seeing Mona like this, Chen Huaian could only make a sumptuous breakfast as an apology, though it was already his responsibility anyway.

After breakfast, they headed to the Knights of Favonius, taking the opportunity to organize the previous night's gains.

His first 'data transfer' with Mona yielded 1000 points. Based on the time and speed of the transfer, he also received an additional 100 points, the maximum that could be earned for a single 'transfer,' totaling 1100 points.

He also gained an extra ability—"Fate's Prediction," which allowed him to foresee events one second before danger struck him, similar to observation haki in One Piece, a very good auxiliary skill.

Furthermore, he unlocked the Skill Shop, where he could purchase Mona's skills using points.

Skills like "Mirror Reflection of Doom" and "Stellaris Phantasm" each cost 1000 points, and upgrading each level cost an additional 100 points.

It was a bit expensive, but what if he could get 100 points with each 'data transfer'? Considering that, it seemed quite cheap.

After all, by only expending a little physical strength and some protein, he could acquire combat skills that the other person had learned and mastered over time. It was very worthwhile.

But the problem was that Mona's skills were the Hydro element, and Chen Huaian's Vision was the Anemo element. Learning them would be useless.

So, he would save the points for now and not spend them recklessly.

At the entrance of the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, he met Amber as promised, dressed as lively and adorable as yesterday, wearing her tight shorts.

"Amber, good morning."

"Huaian, good morning."

"Just had breakfast? Had a baked scone?"

"How did you know?"

"There's still syrup on your nose," Chen Huaian reached out and scraped Amber's nose, showed it to her, then licked it clean. "Mmm, sweet. Where did you buy the scone?"

"You!" Amber nervously looked around. Seeing that no one noticed their intimate behavior, she relaxed and said, "Can't you be more careful?"

"I was careful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used my finger first."

Amber pursed her lips, deciding not to speak to this playboy. She simply said, "Come with me."

They arrived at the top floor of the Knights of Favonius headquarters, which, like in the game, had the final gliding license test involving flying a specific route around Mondstadt City.

It wasn't simple as it sounds, mainly because he wasn't familiar with the route. Chen Huaian flew several times before successfully passing the test and obtaining his gliding license.

"Congratulations," Amber congratulated him. "You got your gliding license in less than two days. Impressive."

"That's also thanks to Instructor Amber's dedicated teaching. If someone else had taught me, I probably wouldn't have learned it in a week."

"Of course, because I'm Mondstadt's Gliding Champion," Amber proudly patted her chest, her little rabbit ears bouncing.

As for the flirtatious words, Amber ignored them. He was a skilled playboy, so she shoudn't take his words too seriously.

Right?

Even after reaching this conclusion, her mind was still a mess.

Annoying!

"Let's go and report to Acting Grand Master Jean."

"I'm coming too?"

"Of course, there's still a lot to learn if you want to join the Knights of Favonius. Gliding is just the first step, but don't worry, Acting Grand Master Jean will arrange your studies."

"Acting Grand Master Jean will arrange it for me... I really don't know how to thank her."

"The best way to thank her would be to study hard, join the Knights of Favonius as soon as possible, so you could share the workload with Acting Grand Master Jean."

"Yes," Chen Huaian agreed. However, compared to that, he wanted to thank her in a more direct way.

For example, by letting Jean experience the joys of being a woman.

And while he was at it, learn some Anemo elemental combat skills.

It was a win-win situation.

Arriving at Acting Grand Master Jean's office door, he knocked and, after receiving a reply, pushed the door open. Chen Huaian saw Acting Grand Master Jean handling documents behind her desk, and smiled, "Hello there, Acting Grand Master Jean."

"Hello," Jean also smiled, but after glancing at Chen Huaian, she nervously averted her gaze to Amber and said,

"Was there a problem with the training? Is there anything you need help with?"

"No, no," Amber waved her hand. "I should say the teaching went very smoothly. Huaian learned very quickly. In just one afternoon yesterday and half a morning today, he already got his gliding license."

"It's all thanks to Instructor Amber."

"This is the efforts of a clever student and a good instructor," Jean interrupted their mutual praise. "Then, Huaian, you'll go study about Visions and the content that will be on the Knights' assessment with Lisa. I should be free this afternoon, so I'll teach you combat techniques then."

"Alright."
