438: Chapter 82 Pets

All that effort resulted in a score of zero kills and five deaths.

Meng Li originally thought this was just teasing, but unexpectedly, it became a true depiction of Xia He's gaming style.

Watching Xia He, who looked nervous but refused to surrender, he found it somewhat amusing and inwardly thought, 'She plays terribly but is addicted to it.'

Next, Meng Li took control of the game, executing a series of flawless moves repeatedly.

The enemies in the game were quickly routed and scattered.

With a final burst of power, the game ended.

Xia He instantly zoned out, taking a long moment to realize she had just been thoroughly shown up by Meng Li.

Seeing Xia He's disheveled expression, Meng Li stroked her pink hair a couple of times and chuckled softly, “Little scrub.”

After speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but Xia He, having composed herself, grabbed his hand.

Meng Li cast a questioning look her way. Xia He smiled dreamily and purred seductively, “It’s not that I’m bad, it’s that Master is too amazing.”

“Master, stay and keep me company, okay? It’s pitch black here, and I’m scared.”

Meng Li thought for a moment, then turned and scooped her up into his arms, walking toward the exit of the secret room.

Xia He was startled at first, then let out a delicate laugh, wrapping her arms around his neck. She pressed her face against his chest, snuggling like a cat, occasionally exhaling hot breath, lightly biting his lips, and deliberately adding gasps and nasal sounds, full of provocation.

Meng Li reached down and patted her full lower body.

Xia He instantly trembled all over.

Meng Li immediately laughed, “If you keep stirring things up, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”

“Then I won't get out of bed. I hope Master wears me out in bed,” Xia He replied with a seductive smile.

Although she said that, she still restrained her actions.

Meng Li noticed this, smiled, and said nothing.

Soon, Meng Li arrived at an unoccupied suite and gently placed Xia He onto the bed. “It’s getting late. Go wash up and sleep.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Just as Xia He was about to say something, the door clicked shut.

Seeing this, she pouted, struggled to prop herself up, got off the bed, and walked into the suite’s bathroom.

After running the water, Xia He took off her torn clothes and stepped into the bathtub to lie down.

As soon as she settled in, she winced in pain and couldn't help but curse softly, “What a barbaric monster!”

The moment the words left her mouth, Xia He stiffened as if she remembered something.

A moment later, the expected sharp pain didn't arrive, and she relaxed. Then, looking thoughtful, she muttered quietly, “As long as I don’t have thoughts detrimental to him, even cursing him won't trigger the Restriction, huh?”

Having reached this conclusion, Xia He looked at the bruises and marks marring her otherwise flawless skin, gently scrubbing while muttering curses under her breath.

“Bastard!”

“Son of a bitch!”

“Beast!”

...

She only got up and walked out of the tub after cursing until her mouth was dry. She carefully dried herself with a towel, then put on a loose bathrobe and dried her hair.

Once in bed, Xia He found after trying a few times that she could only sleep on her side.

Because lying on her back or stomach would touch her injuries.

The next day.

Xia He woke up slowly.

Looking at the unfamiliar room, she paused. Only when her memory returned did she realize she had become someone’s pet.

Thinking of this, she tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a self-mocking smile, then got up and went into the bathroom to wash.

After washing up, Xia He changed into a loose set of casual clothes, opened the door, and walked out of the room, intending to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, she saw two surprising people in the living room.

Dou Mei and Han Dan!

Xia He was extremely surprised.

Previously, Meng Li had said that Gao Ning, Shen Chong, and Yuan Tao were all dead. She assumed Dou Mei and Han Dan were the same, not expecting things to be otherwise.

Dou Mei was also somewhat surprised to see Xia He.

When she clearly saw the clothes Xia He was wearing, she immediately understood and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Xia He noticed this, pursed her lips, and offered no explanation.

The situation was indeed as the other person imagined, and she had completely accepted reality. Saying more was useless.

Thinking this, Xia He strode forward with her long, fair legs, walked confidently over to Meng Li, hugged his arm, and said sweetly, “Master, I’m hungry.”

Meng Li pointed toward the dining room nearby. “There’s breakfast there. Pick whatever you want.”

After speaking, he turned to Dou Mei and Han Dan. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”

“Yes.”

Dou Mei replied with a lowered head and turned to leave.

Han Dan didn't speak, quickly following them.

After the two left, Xia He curiously asked Meng Li, “Master, when you told them to leave, did you assign them any tasks?”

“Mm. I told them to spread some news and gather some intelligence along the way,” Meng Li replied casually, then turned to look at the staircase leading to the second floor, where Chen Duo was standing.

Xia He also noticed Chen Duo.

Because Chen Duo was looking at her with a hint of hostility in her eyes, which made Xia He sense a dangerous aura.

Xia He followed Chen Duo’s gaze and realized the issue stemmed from her arm being looped around Meng Li’s.

She instantly understood, then jumped up, throwing herself into Meng Li’s embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck, clamped her long, fair legs tightly around his waist, and instantly squeezed, then used a delicate tone to say, “Master, who is this sister? Her eyes look so fierce; I’m scared.”

“I need a kiss.”

Saying that, she tilted her head up to kiss Meng Li’s lips.

Meng Li didn't stop her, merely watching with a half-smile.

Xia He’s heart skipped a beat. In an instant, she felt a sharp pain sweep through her entire body from the inside out, causing her to lose strength and collapse onto the floor, curling into a ball.

Meng Li ignored her, looked toward Chen Duo, and asked gently, “What is it?”
