Xia Yao bared her cute little canines. "Gah! I'm so mad!"

With that, she pounced on Zhong Yingxue and pinned her to the bed. Zhong Yingxue's startled cries rang out through the phone!

And then there was Xia Yao's mischievous cackle!

"Go ahead, scream! Even if you scream your lungs out, nobody's coming to save you!"

The phone screen shook wildly as the two girls wrestled.

"Xiao Yao! Stop tickling me! H-hurry and stop!"

"Hehe! No! I won't! Tickly, tickly, tickly!"

Jiang Nan was speechless.

To spare his sister from further torment, he had no choice but to give in.

"I'll give you candy, okay?"

Xia Yao perked right up!

"Promise?"

Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow. "And you won't say I turned on the beauty filter?"

Xia Yao shook her head like a rattle drum. "I won't, I won't! Xiao Nan's the handsomest!"

"Sister Xia Yao likes you best. She misses you so much she almost dies when she goes a day without seeing you!"

"And you won't put me in a headlock anymore?"

"I won't! How could I bear to? I'll rub your shoulders, massage your legs, and hand you sunflower seeds!"

Xia Yao was being so well-behaved it was unbelievable. She even deliberately showed off her two fluffy wolf ears.

Even Jiang Nan, whose heart was as firm as a rock,

couldn't withstand the sight in front of him!

He was smitten!

"Mm... Fine. I'll make you another one when I get back!"

"Yay! Xiao Nan's the best!"

She hung up the video call just like that. Talk about quick!

Jiang Nan's face stiffened.

Hah!

Women!

As Jiang Nan pushed open the door and entered the room, he was wondering if he should try a couple of Ten Consecutive Draws to test his luck.

But then...

He saw a Blonde Beauty standing in his room, wearing a loose white T-shirt.

Not only was she barefoot, but she wasn't wearing anything underneath?

Her long, pale legs were downright dazzling!

And the T-shirt she had on was his! It had a Pikachu printed on it, though this Pikachu had been stretched quite a bit wider!

Most importantly of all!

Katerina was currently holding a huge cabbage and eating it with gusto!

Both Jiang Nan and Katerina froze for a moment.

Her mouth was still stuffed full of cabbage...

The air was thick with awkwardness.

Jiang Nan scratched his head. "Oh... Oops! I walked into the wrong room! What a strange day!"

With that, he closed the door and started to leave.

Katerina glared, then flung the cabbage in her hand straight at Jiang Nan!

Jiang Nan spun around, activated his teleportation, and ran!

Damn!

How had this Blonde Beauty ended up in his house?

Where was the Dark Night Army?!

Weren't they trying to capture her?

Come get her! She's right here in my house!

"If you run, or call the police, I'll kill all your neighbors!"

Jiang Nan's face stiffened!

He froze in the doorway and looked back.

Katerina was leaning against the doorframe, smiling at him.

Jiang Nan said, "Miss, what exactly do you want? You didn't lose out yesterday. I was the one you saw naked, so why are you clinging to me?"

Thinking back to what had happened yesterday made Katerina angry all over again, but she still said, "I already told you! Whether you live or die, you're mine now!"

"You're not getting away!"

"Now! Come back! Right this instant!"

Katerina's gaze grew increasingly dangerous!

Her pupils gradually turned into slits.

Jiang Nan felt a little guilty.

This beauty had to be at least Gold rank, right? How could his puny arms stand up to her long, pale legs?

Jiang Nan had no choice but to obediently go back inside!

His eyes darted around restlessly!

Katerina was sitting on the bed in a strange pose!

Beside the bed lay the leather jacket she had just taken off, along with her white panties and bandeau...

She pointed at the clothes by the bed and said, "Wash these for me. I'm wearing them tomorrow!"

Jiang Nan: ???

Damn!

Why should he?!

Eating the cabbage in his house was one thing!

Now he had to wash her underwear too?

Come to think of it...

Was she wearing nothing but that T-shirt?

Katerina lightly tapped the edge of the bed with her finger!

Purple mist billowed out!

A small hole was eaten through the steel pipe...

Jiang Nan immediately turned around and went to get a washbasin and detergent.

"Miss, want me to add some BiZhen? It smells great!"

Katerina tilted her head. "What's BiZhen?"

Jiang Nan: ...

Sitting on a little stool, Jiang Nan began washing her panties with his head down, looking thoroughly aggrieved!

Shān Miāo!

Come on, Dark Night Army! Hurry up!

I can't take much more of this!

My life is just too hard!

Katerina sat on the bed, watching Jiang Nan's back, feeling conflicted too!

The organization wouldn't be able to send anyone to escort her for another two days!

The Blood Burning Reagent was gone, but taking Jiang Nan with her would be just as good.

If she hadn't been desperate last night, she never would have resorted to such a desperate measure.

But with the Dark Night Army's dragnet closing in, there was no way she could take Jiang Nan with her by herself!

The only way was to get the news out, then organize an operation to take Jiang Nan away.

The problem was, how could she last two days in River City?

She had no friends or family there, so the only person she could turn to was Jiang Nan. After all, he was the only person she knew!

Besides, the reagent was still inside him!

She had to keep an eye on him!

As she thought about it, her stomach began growling again!

So she picked up the cabbage she had found in the kitchen and prepared to keep munching!

Jiang Nan quickly finished washing her panties. When he saw what she was doing, he immediately said, "A young lady like you shouldn't eat that at night!"

"I'll cook you something!"

Without waiting for Katerina to respond, he rushed into the kitchen and started cooking!

Katerina eyed him suspiciously. Why had this guy suddenly become so hardworking?

She watched Jiang Nan skillfully stir-frying food in the kitchen.

She breathed in the homey aroma filling the room.

Katerina suddenly felt a little touched!

This brat wasn't all that annoying after all.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was served!

A plate of chives and eggs!

A plate of bean sprouts stir-fried with meat!

A pot of rice!

It was a feast for the eyes and the palate!

Katerina's stomach growled at the delicious aroma.

Jiang Nan looked at her expectantly. "Give it a try! I'm not a bad cook!"

Katerina licked her lips and picked up her chopsticks.

She picked up a few pieces of egg and meat. Jiang Nan looked nervous.

"Have some chives! They're delicious!"

Katerina completely ignored him and ate only the eggs and meat!

"The bean sprouts are delicious too. Want to try some?"

Katerina shot Jiang Nan a glare and still didn't say a word.

Jiang Nan grew more and more anxious watching her!

Why was this girl so picky?

"You can't be picky! You have to think about your health!"

Katerina rolled her eyes at Jiang Nan. "What's it to you? Why aren't you eating?"

Jiang Nan scratched his head and chuckled. "Me? I already ate outside!"

As if!

He didn't dare eat any of it himself!

The chives in the Stir-fried Chives with Eggs were Spiritual Energy Leeks!

The bean sprouts in the stir-fried meat had been grown from Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans!

There was plenty to go around!

Just those two dishes could knock her out!

Then he could go inform the Dark Night Army!

Heh heh!

The plan was perfect!

But Jiang Nan had never expected the Blonde Beauty to be such a picky eater!

What had vegetables ever done to her?

Couldn't she humor him and have a bite?

In the end, Katerina didn't eat any chives or bean sprouts. She only had three pieces of egg, two pieces of meat, and a bowl of rice before she stopped eating...

That evening, Jiang Nan lay on the bed with a troubled look on his face!

Katerina lay beside him!

She had stolen the blanket, and hadn't even left him a pillow...

What a night!

So cold. So very cold!
