Bigger Than You!

Accept the quest.

[Then Give Me a Scrub: A man's dignity cannot be challenged! Not just the back—scrub the chest, armpits, arms, thighs, feet... Time limit: 1 hour. Countdown begins: 59:59.]

[Then Shut Her Up: That noisy duck is seriously affecting the host. Shut her up for 12 hours, by any means necessary. From the moment she stops talking, if she makes another sound, restart the timer. Time limit: 24 hours. Countdown begins: 23:59.]

Shut her up for 12 hours???

How is that any different from killing her!

She'd suffocate from not talking for five minutes, let alone twelve.

System... do you have a grudge against her? What? Random quests are tied to my obsessions? Don't you pin that on me—it's got nothing to do with me.

Li Xian absolutely refused to take the blame for this. This quest was actually pretty tough.

Setting aside his previous impression of her, just from these few hours of interaction, Li Xian had already classified her as a chatterbox—the extreme kind.

Even just now, while playing on her phone, she was muttering to herself. That showed how much she could talk.

There's data out there: the average man says about five thousand words a day, while the average woman says about twenty thousand... So, think about it... really think about it.

Aren't women especially gossipy? Don't women fight harder when they argue? When you come home from work and don't want to talk, doesn't your wife always say you're ignoring her?

So yeah, guys in dorms chat about dirty jokes, but girls in dorms talk about way more than you guys do—including the goddess in your heart. She's definitely in on it.

Pretty solid logic, right? A pretty twisted way of thinking, huh?

Got a bit off track.

Cao Xue was definitely the type of girl who could put on a one-woman show.

Too bad that such a cute face had an extra mouth attached.

"Brother Xian, I'll scrub your back for you. Don't worry, I'm very professional." Cao Xue's eyes gleamed with cunning, as if she was sure Li Xian wouldn't dare to be "open and honest" with her. She said with a hint of provocation, "What's the hesitation? Are you shy? Hehehe... I'm a girl and I don't mind, so why would a big man like you..."

"I'm afraid you don't have enough strength. Since you're so confident, let's go." With that, Li Xian reached for the service bell.

"Huh?" He actually wants me to scrub his back? Did I hear that right...

Cao Xue froze on the spot, and a wave of panic hit her. Was she really going into the bathroom with him? Letting him off that easy?

I don't want to...

This wasn't the result she wanted. She only meant to tease Li Xian. If it came down to the real deal, she'd definitely chicken out.

When it comes to taboo topics, women are always more cowardly than men. Otherwise, why would they say men are creatures ruled by their lower halves? With that saying, men have a natural advantage here.

Of course, women who've gone numb are a different story—we can't compare to the pros.

Cao Xue's feelings were complicated and conflicted. She wasn't completely opposed to doing the deed with Li Xian, but she needed some kind of buffer. Things were moving too fast, and she felt like she'd be the one losing out.

Too straightforward and rough!

There had to be some flowers, candlelight, fine wine...

Even if none of that was there, he could at least sweet-talk me. I'm easy to win over. You're so rich...

Cao Xue wrestled with herself internally but still couldn't make up her mind. If Li Xian knew she had all these thoughts, he'd probably point at her nose and say: Your inner drama is way too much, girl. Careful you don't make it to the next episode.

He didn't have time to worry about what Cao Xue was thinking. Finishing the quest came first.

Li Xian called in his personal butler and explained what he needed.

The butler serving him was named Lin Yuan, female, 29 years old.

Looks-wise, about 70 out of 100. Short hair, seemed pretty capable. But her type wasn't Li Xian's cup of tea. Of course, if her looks went up another ten points, that'd be a different story.

This butler was recommended to him by Wang Zhe. According to Wang Zhe, Lin Yuan had been in the industry for seven or eight years, skilled at her job, and efficient. She was currently the Grand Hyatt's most highly rated personal butler.

How good her service actually was remained to be seen, but her efficiency was impressive.

Whatever Li Xian asked for, she handled in a minute or two.

Five minutes later, the bathtub was filled, and everything he needed—towels, bathrobe, pajamas, loofah, bubble bath—was all prepared and placed in the right spots.

She even thoughtfully opened a bottle of red wine for him, just because Li Xian had struggled with the cork for a few seconds. Talk about being meticulous.

Li Xian hadn't even wanted to drink the red wine; he was just testing how easy the cork was to pull out. He still preferred beer. Before heading into the bathroom, he grabbed a bottle of Tsingtao Augerta from the fridge.

Soaking in the tub, taking a nice sip of ice-cold beer, and enjoying the unbeatable ocean view outside the window—wasn't this the peak of life? If not, just add a girl.

The girl still hadn't come in. Li Xian was getting impatient. He picked up his phone, opened VX, and directly sent Cao Xue a thousand-yuan red envelope.

"Get in here quick. You've got one minute."

"What's the rush? I need to change clothes."

"Stop stalling. If you're not in within a minute, give me the money back."

"Coming, coming. So annoying."

Nothing works on women like the power of money—especially for someone like Cao Xue, who loved cash. It hit the mark every time.

You ask how to handle women who don't care about money?

Heh... You just didn't offer enough.

One minute—fifty-five seconds, to be exact—Cao Xue appeared before Li Xian.

She wore a pink silk short-sleeved pajama set, fairly modestly covered, with her fair arms and legs exposed. He gave her a careful once-over; those legs weren't short.

Still, her height limited her potential; she was never destined for a pair of impossibly long legs. But that height suited her face well enough.

Her face had a bit of baby fat, very kawaii. She was the type who aged in reverse, a youthful-looking beauty. At twenty-two, she looked like she was sixteen or seventeen, especially without makeup, which made her seem even younger.

Because she only had the youthful face, without the big peaks, her looks scored only seventy-five points in Li Xian's mind. If someone had a taste for this type, they'd probably give her eighty.

To be honest, Zhang Ning might not be prettier than Cao Xue, but she had more bonus points—170 cm tall, exceptionally long legs that added a lot, and her top-tier makeup skills, which also scored heavily.

"Like what you see? Can't pull your eyes away." Cao Xue instinctively pressed a hand to her chest. The neckline of this pajama set was a bit wide; she was probably afraid of a wardrobe malfunction.

Little did she know, Li Xian had little interest in her upper half; those legs were far more pleasing to the eye.

Cao Xue's slightly chubby face was deceptive. Just looking at her face, you'd think she was quite plump. In reality, her figure was decent, just lacking a bit of flesh on her chest.

"Didn't expect you to be this slim. I always thought you were over a hundred jin," Li Xian said.

"Get lost. This young lady is only eighty-five jin."

"Heh, your big bro here could fit two of you inside me," Li Xian said with a laugh, his upper body emerging from the water—broad, pale back, thick arms, a chest shape that would make women envious. Once you got used to it, it was actually quite easy on the eyes.

His physique wasn't great, but he was pale enough to make women jealous. One such woman was right in front of him.

Cao Xue noticed Li Xian was paler than her and pouted in dissatisfaction. "A grown man like you, do you have to be this white?"

"Tsk... none of your business. I'm even bigger than you, aren't you embarrassed?" Li Xian shot a contemptuous glance at her chest.
