Once It Starts, You Don't Get to Choose When It Ends (Continued)

Heroine, please save me.

Su Mei smiled gently beside her, "I believe you can handle Yelan."

No! I don't even believe it myself!

Where does your confidence come from?

Everyone has undiscovered potential.

Is this a compliment on my flirting skills? — But could you please not compliment me at this time?

Seeing that Su Mei only wanted to keep smiling and watch the show, Liu Bai couldn't help but want to ask Guinaifen behind him for help.

"Handsome boy~~ Don't keep looking at other women."

Yelan leaned on her three-headed chair with one hand and spoke in a coquettish tone, while at the same time, she forcefully turned Liu Bai's face in the opposite direction.

Liu Bai could only reach behind the chair with his hand, but found nothing.

"Ah~~ Anyway, Boss Liu, you seem pretty happy, don't you?"

Behind them came Guinaifen's words, which sounded rather off.

"As your Boss Liu, Little Gui, I'll go guard the door."

Then Liu Bai heard very obvious footsteps behind him—although they only took two steps before stopping.

Guinaifen noticed that Su Mei's gaze had shifted to her.

It's as if it's asking, "Are you really not going to save them?"

Save?

Of course we should save them, but we also need to teach the Boss Liu a lesson so he won't treat the Elixir of Love like a toy all the time.

I could let it go with official business before, but now you're giving Yelan what she wants on her own?

I, Little Gui, am not a stupid roe deer!

Well... but no matter what, he's still my Boss Liu. I can save him after he suffers a little.

"..."

After realizing that there was no one around to rely on, Liu Bai decisively reached out and touched the pot.

—Escaping is shameful, but it's useful!

Are you looking for this?

Yelan twitched her middle finger as she rested her head on her hand, and a yellow water jug wrapped in silk thread was delivered from under the table to her.

Yelan's eyes turned playful.

"You're so naughty. You accepted my token of love and still tried to run away."

Oh wow...

It is precisely because of this situation that Liu Bai has to be extremely cautious in his daily life!

Humanoid monsters are annoying, but humanoid monsters that know each other inside and out and are intelligent are even more annoying!

Liu Bai patted Yelan's hand with a resigned expression.

Seeing the resistance fade from Liu Bai, Yelan released her grip with satisfaction.

"That's right, that's a good girl."

Yelan's Lifeline Threads tightly bound Serenitea Pot, giving Liu Bai no chance whatsoever.

"Honey, how about we have our first time bungee jumping?"

"...?"

"At the lowest or highest point of the bungee jump, we'll both reach the summit together..."

"...joke?"

"No, there isn't one. Is jumping around too much okay, Shan? How about waterfall rafting?" V Yelan casually took out a booklet and started flipping through it. "Hmm... let me see. How about directly challenging Angel Falls? The total drop is 979 meters, and there's a crystallized rock platform after more than 800 meters..."

Grass!

You've got guts! You've got more guts than a grown man like me!

"What--!?"

While Yelan was still flipping through the booklet and muttering to herself, she suddenly felt her foot slip.

"You think you're the only one who knows how to use the Lifeline Threads?"

Liu Bai smiled at Yelan. His Lifeline Threads wrapped around Yelan's ankle, and then he pulled hard—normally, Liu Bai's technique would not have been able to achieve such a silent movement.

But...

Yelan's attention was briefly diverted from Liu Bai! Even when she realized that no one was helping her, her guard was almost completely down.

The next Lifeline Threads!

Liu Bai's Vision at his waist glowed slightly, and he raised his hand to wrap another Lifeline Threads around the Serenitea Pot. Perhaps due to a moment of panic, the Lifeline Threads connecting Ye Yelan's fingers and the pot broke off.

"Not bad."

Coming to her senses, Yelan revealed an excited and determined smile.

She doesn't dislike the feeling of being challenged and conquering.

Raise your hand...

!?

"Looking for this?" A deep blue Vision appeared in Bai's hand.

—Since Liu Bai wanted to use the Vision to fight back, how could he forget the Vision on Yelan?

Isn't it just using the Lifeline Threads to steal things?

As mentioned before, Yelan, whose attention was greatly diverted due to drinking the Elixir of Love, was completely unaware of the problems she was experiencing.

"Hmm..."

As expected, without the Vision, Yelan didn't even release the Lifeline Threads for the first time.

But then, Yelan flicked her hand, and a Lifeline Threads flew out.

He knew it...

Liu Bai remained calm.

Since it's already based on Honkai energy, and the Vision is just an energy conversion tool, it means that Yelan herself also has the talent to control Honkai energy.

Yelan's skills were entirely self-taught, unlike mine which relied on studying to gain them—to be honest, Liu Bai Honkai energy without releasing his skills.

This situation was expected...

Bang--!

Instead of taking the pot back, Liu Bai swung it and smashed it over Yelan's head.

There was absolutely no confidence that Liu Bai could outmaneuver Yelan – after all, Liu Bai wasn't exactly a mage and couldn't accurately assess the strength of the Lifeline Threads between the two.

But I know the strength of the pot and the direction of your silk thread!

"Gurgle—!"

Yelan, who had been hit by the pot, immediately felt the pain, but her eyes regained a sliver of clarity.

As for the Lifeline Threads, they simply vanished.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

[Yelan's Affection Level: 9878 (Elixir of Love)]

Fortunately, the person was screaming in pain.

If you are "Shuang Shuang Shuang", you will just run away.

"... It was just a joke, is it really that serious?"

Yelan's obsession with Liu Bai has clearly diminished.

"No matter what, this behavior is too rude to my fiancée. I'm divorcing him, I'm divorcing him!"

"Looks like you can't just accept other people's things." Guinaifen glanced at the identical bracelets on Yelan and Liu Bai's wrists. "How about you give Yelan another whack on the Boss Liu? I think that would be quite effective."

Guinaifen finally chose to stand up and block Liu Bai's way.

"But how about just giving him a good beating? I didn't get my fill of beating him last time anyway."

"Leave it to me."

Su Mei slowly stood up.

"Huh?" Yelan's attitude towards Su Mei was still not good.

But Su Mei didn't care at all; Yelan shouldn't talk nonsense without the Vision.

She's not even as good as Valkyries without armor.

Su Mei grabbed Yelan and dragged her toward the bathroom.

"Su Mei! What are you doing!"

Drag it in, then the sound of running water from the faucet.

And then...

A gurgling sound of drowning.

[Yelan's Affection Level: 7848]

So simple and direct that even Liu Bai and Guinaifen knew what had happened inside.

"... That was too decisive."

Gui Nai Er Fen Zi Jiu Dong Nao Bing? Yelan Su Mei Tie Shou An Abandoned in Shui Yi Chi Jing San Xiang Ling.

Dream

It's hard to believe that Su Mei, who always maintains a gentle older sister smile, would be so decisive in doing something like this.

Basically, they dragged him in, drained the water, and when the water level was just a little high, Su Mei pushed his head in.

"It's alright now."

Su Mei pushed open the bathroom door, maintaining her usual gentle smile, and casually lowered her sleeve.

There were still some water stains on my hands that hadn't been completely dried.

But as soon as Su Mei came out, the bathroom door was closed.

"... Where is Yelan?" Bai asked with a hint of worry.

"Very good."

Yelan's muffled voice came from the restroom.

"This is the side effect you're talking about?"

"Yes—let's make it clear first, you drank it yourself."

"You f***..."

Yelan locked herself in the bathroom, remaining silent and withdrawn.

Who the hell would have thought it would have such a bizarre effect—no wonder you were so vague about it!

So you do have some self-awareness, huh?

Yelan really wanted to rush out and beat Liu Bai up.

But... well, although Liu Bai's offer to give the medicine felt somewhat reluctant, it was ultimately his own suggestion.

Liu Bai has also issued a disclaimer.

Yelan isn't the kind of little girl who throws tantrums... Besides...

What nonsense did I spout when I was out of my mind?!

Yelan turned the tap to its maximum and splashed water uncontrollably onto her face.
