Out of the Wolf's Den, Into the Tiger's

"It's alright."

Actually, Liu Bai thought that Natasha's lifeless attitude at work was largely thanks to Clio.

"Especially the other people I live with are really nice."

"..."

Clio remained silent.

Oh, right, that girl named Eden is indeed very beautiful.

"It's a small problem, just an apartment."

Clio curled his lip.

"I am a director of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals. Although I don't have much money on hand... but you have to know that my so-called lack of money is different from Raven's lack of money. Building ten of these apartments would not be a problem for me."

Is this the money offensive of a rich woman?

"So? How about you think about it?"

"Then why don't I have a proper discussion with the Doctor?"

Liu Bai's counter-question immediately silenced Clio.

Yes, Mobius was actually the first wealthy woman Liu Bai met, and she was very willing to be his sugar daddy.

"Tsk, then I can just ask the teacher for help..."

Boom.

"...?"

The sudden cracking sound startled Clio.

"The quality isn't very good."

Boom.

After Liu Bai freed his hands, he also tore off the restraints on his ankles.

"La Signora. Clio, your intelligence is completely outdated."

"..." Clio looked at Liu Bai, who had stood up, and his expression stiffened. "... Can we reconcile?"

"At this very moment?"

"Ouch... Ah, my head hurts so much."

"It feels like a hangover..."

After tying up Clio, Liu Bai woke up Natasha and Eden, who were still unconscious, in the Natasha bedroom.

Both of them had a headache when they got up, just like Liu Bai.

What happened?

"Ask her."

Liu Bai pointed to Clio across from her, whose coat had been stripped off, leaving him only in his underwear, and whose body was bound in an artistic manner.

Natasha looked over and her face immediately darkened—well, she understood completely now.

That bastard...

Wait a minute, no,

Natasha frowned as she looked at Clio, who was now only wearing his underwear, and then glanced at Liu Bai.

"... You could actually bite her? Although... well, you could."

If that Jackal doesn't open its mouth, it still has a bit of the charm of a mature woman.

"What?" Bai asked, looking confused.

What does "downward bite" mean?

Although... well, although Liu Bai did have a few evil thoughts—after all, in that situation, Liu Bai felt he had unlimited self-defense rights.

But as I thought about it, what if Natasha and Eden woke up halfway through?

What if the sound is a little loud and Fu Hua downstairs hears it?

This kind of ordinary small apartment isn't really suitable for doing certain things.

If we're really talking about something, it has to be the Serenitea Pot.

"... You've already tied the Jackal up with your belt and almost stripped him naked, what are you pretending to be stupid for?"

Natasha rolled her eyes.

She immediately recognized that the rope binding Clio was actually Liu Bai's belt.

Tying someone up with a belt, and with the Jackal himself only wearing underwear, could there be anything more obvious than this?

"Ah... no, how should I put it... stripping them naked was just to humiliate them, a small punishment based on giving them a taste of their own medicine."

"It seems Liu Bai is quite skilled at punishment." Eden, whose mind was gradually clearing, also glanced at Clio.

Although she didn't know the Egyptian-style beauty who was tied up, it was still perfectly acceptable to criticize her from an artistic perspective.

"Is this why you hung her up with her legs spread in an M-shape?"

"..."

Liu Bai glanced at Clio, whose legs were spread wide open.

It is indeed a way of tying that is easy to misunderstand—and don't misunderstand, it's just an improper way of tying.

"At least I didn't take off her underwear," Bai Qiang argued.

This method of binding the ball essence is the shame and humiliation of the lower half of the body, but isn't this giving her face for her lower Liu Bai?

Although his belt, or "Automatic Restraints," has several binding methods, the tortoise shell style appears too vulgar every day, the one-handed and two-handed head bindings sound inexplicable, and the handcuffs and continuous handcuffs sound not exciting enough.

Liu Bai hesitated for quite some time before choosing the binding method.

"A gentleman, but no one is a complete gentleman." Natasha still believed in Liu Bai, but still pursed her lips. "No, it should be said that he is a heretic, but no one is a complete heretic."

"... Do you really think I was doing all that in front of you two while you were both unconscious, holding the Doctor. Clio, and even putting some unknown liquid in your mouth...?"

"Don't drag me into this." Dian's lips twitched.

Why would I talk to you guys about such inappropriate topics?!

Are we close? — Oh, it seems we are indeed quite close.

Eden looked up at the sky and felt something called "ladylike integrity" gradually slipping away from her.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Clio, whose mouth was stuffed with a bunch of silk stockings and shrimp, seemed to be muttering something, which attracted Tasha's attention.

You can probably make out the words "bastard Liu Bai".

"... Never mind, let's not talk about that nonsense. Liu Bai, are you alright? Did she do anything to you?"

This is clearly a case of Liu Bai turning the tables.

So, what should we do with Clio now?

"How about throwing her in the basement of the apartment?" Natasha asked Liu Bai.

"...?"

Wait, what do you mean by that?

Is there really a basement in the apartment that no one has discovered?

"Just a necessary hiding place." Natasha replied matter-of-factly, looking at Liu Bai and Eden's expressions. "Don't forget this is my base."

Well, that's exactly the setup you'd expect in an assassin's hideout.

"... I don't think it's necessary to be so extreme."

"Hey, you've made an enemy of her."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai fell silent for a moment.

Can he say that after he fought back and tied up Clio, Cleo's favorability rating rose from 73 to 75?

Despite constantly swearing, his popularity continued to rise.

Every S has the heart of a M...

"What do you think, Eden?" Natasha asked Eden again.

"... It has nothing to do with me. They're here for Liu Bai anyway, right?" Dian said indifferently. "But I really don't think it's necessary to lock him up."

"Alright, this girl is lucky. I'll go find a small whip and give her a good beating to teach her a lesson." Both of them objected, but Natasha didn't care.

Hey, if you use that position and then take out the small leather whip, won't the nature of the punishment change?

Chapter 152 Emerging from the wolf's den, only to enter the tiger's lair

"Lord Liu Bai! I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

After things were considered settled on Clio's side, Liu Bai received a call from Kujou Sara.

He sounded very anxious on the phone, and I could hear some faint coughing.

"What's wrong, Sara?"

"The Shogun has started coughing." Sara's tone was serious. "At present... it's just coughing, but it's still a bit worrying."

A month ago, she might have taken Raiden Makoto's cough in stride.

But now... to be honest, Qi Raiden Makoto hasn't coughed for more than eight and a half months, and now he's suddenly coughing again, which is definitely a very bad omen.

Kujou Sara, who was on night watch today, immediately thought of the word "deterioration".

Upon hearing Kujou Sara's words, Liu Bai immediately nodded. "Okay, I'll go back right away."

It's 3 a. m. now, so there's no need to worry about the Acheron —and even if there Acheron, could I possibly hold out for long?

After saying a few words to Eden, Liu Bai returned to the pot.

Xiao Ai had already curled up asleep in the pot, while Kirara was splashing around energetically in the shallow sea. When she saw Liu Bai, she simply waved to him as usual.

Hmm... maybe it's because she's become a catgirl that Kirara isn't so afraid of water anymore.

Big cats... are they more fond of water?

Of course, now is not the time to focus on Kirara.

Liu Bai quickly entered the room and went up to the second floor.

"Lord Liu Bai, you've arrived." Sara looked at Liu Bai as he entered, seemingly relieved.

Raiden Makoto was lying in bed, and his complexion looked worse than before.

"Ahem... I'm sorry to trouble you so late."

Liu Bai shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and then reached out to touch Raiden Makoto's hand.

"Some areas are indeed deteriorating, but it's not serious."

Having been educated by Mobius, Liu Bai had a fairly clear record of Raiden Makoto's physical condition.

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the result.

"It's probably because the treatment hasn't been very regular lately."

Like today, Liu Bai only sent some vegetables to Hu Li at noon, and he completely missed dinner.

Further back, Fu Hua was also unable to leave at night.

Balancing reality and the internal workings of the pot is still somewhat troublesome.

"Sara, go wake up two more people and have them come help me cook."

"Good."
