Chapter 257

The conversation between the two sounded somewhat distorted.

The scene of them vying for Chen Ce looked even more distorted.

Chen Ce himself fell into deep thought.

Just then, a fourth person appeared to break the deadlock—

First, the door was violently pushed open, and then the three of them simultaneously saw one... no, several...

A fluffy big tail...

Blue and white.

A fox's tail.

"You haven't come to see me for so long!" The fox-spirited girl, dressed in a fitted robe, stood at the door, pointing angrily at Chen Ce. "I knew you were back, but I deliberately didn't show myself. You really didn't come to see me?!"

"I was planning to come find you later..." Chen Ce was telling the truth, but for some reason he didn't feel confident.

"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Ahri crossed her arms, her adorable fox ears standing up high—she was angry.

She stood by the door, looking towards the other two women in the room.

One was very young, and the other was quite old.

One was very full, even bigger than her!

She was very tall, and her mature demeanor was more pronounced than hers!

Individually, neither of them could possibly surpass her in overall charm, but each of them possesses unique characteristics that set them apart from her...!

"You liar...!!" Ahri pounced on him angrily, knocking Chen Ce down onto the bed.

Her sharp teeth and claws were fully exposed, and her alluring magic was immediately released—it looked as if she was about to "execute Chen Ce on the spot."

He looked like he was about to devour Chen Ce right in front of the two outsiders.

Seeing this, Sona, who had met Ahri before, was also unhappy, but out of ladylike manners, she did not directly reach out and grab her.

But Tianna to the side, didn't care about any of that.

She didn't know Ahri.

All she knew was that Ahri had strange ears on its head and several fluffy tails below its slender waist...

Having already "seen the role," she instantly felt that another dog was coming to steal her owner.

"Let go of my master...!"

Tianna pushed Ahri away forcefully, also making that snarling expression.

The latter immediately frowned.

Only now did she notice that the woman in front of her was wearing a collar... connected to a chain... it looked just like a dog leash...

That grimacing look... and what did she just say? "Master"...?

Even Ahri, who has always advocated for a slightly risqué style, felt it was a bit perverted.

She looked at Tianna, then at Chen Ce. "So you like this kind of thing? Obedient little puppies... and stuff like that, you like this kind of play?"

"I think I can explain," Chen Ce said, raising his hands in surrender as he was pinned to the bed.

"There's nothing more to explain." Ahri narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in her increasingly heavy magical aura. "It's too late... my dear..."

"Get away from me, you vixen...!" Tianna tried to pull Ahri away, but her mortal body made it difficult for her to move Ahri.

Ahri simply flicked his tail impatiently, sweeping her aside.

"You'd rather be a decent person than be Chen Ce's dog? You're truly despicable."

"Fox...!" Tianna glared angrily.

Ahri continued to mock, "Even if you want to be a dog, you have neither sharp teeth nor a fluffy tail. Do you think you can steal food from my mouth?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tianna felt as if her pride had been hurt.

Ahri continued to wag her tail, deftly wrapping around Chen Ce —well, the force was so strong it could be described as "tightening."

Her amber eyes reflected the man's face, and the corners of her lips slowly curved upwards.

Two sharp little tiger teeth were then revealed.

"You like this kind of play, don't you... Darling, you really surprise me..."

"I really think I can still offer an explanation." Chen Ce felt like he was about to have his neck bitten off by a real "canine."

He chose to surrender.

They were even prepared to abscond at any time using Deceive.

Ahri's face slowly approached... She opened her mouth, and her sharp canine teeth were right in front of her.

Chen Ce began to use his magic.

But just as he was about to "Flash" to the other side, he felt a soft sensation on his face—it certainly wasn't his teeth biting down.

Instead...

Tongue?

He opened his eyes and saw Ahri's bewitching and alluring expression.

"My dear, so you like this kind of thing... You should have told me sooner! After all, I'm a little fox too!"

Ahri's nimble pink tongue first kissed Chen Ce 'Chen Ce face, and then kissed him directly in front of the other two women.

Her fox tail wagged rapidly, and her hands were bent and rested on her chest like a cute puppy.

She slightly bent her slender waist, and the curves of her lower body rose up—full of allure.

In terms of allure alone, Ahri is indeed the "strongest in Runeterra".

"What's so great about fake dogs? I'm the real deal~" Ahri gently absorbed her favorite magic, her eyes becoming increasingly alluring.

"Even... if my darling likes, I wouldn't mind transforming into a fox!"

"Then there's no need for that..." Chen Ce subconsciously licked his lips, finding them surprisingly sweet.

Their flirtatious banter completely ignored the other two people.

Tianna knelt on the ground, glaring angrily, like a helpless, furious puppy.

Sona then took action—blushing, she picked up the Etwahl, and a magical melody immediately began to play.

[Mr. Chen Ce...! Calm down!!]

The soothing melody entered Chen Ce's ears, instantly extinguishing the small flame in his heart.

Ahri was also affected, but her inner desires were too strong, and she didn't seem very "calm" at all—a cup of water can extinguish a match, but how can it extinguish the raging fire in a burning forest?

She continued to lie on Chen Ce, rubbing her head and ears against the back of his hand, and occasionally sticking out half of her pink tongue to lick it.

As a true "canine," she doesn't even need to immerse herself in the role like Tianna; she can simply be herself.

Mr. Chen Ce...! You must explain this to me clearly today...!

Seeing that the music had no effect on Ahri, Sona simply walked over and hugged Chen Ce's hand—to prevent the fox girl from licking it incessantly.

[We clearly... we clearly made a commitment... that...! We clearly said we'd give it a try first...! Who exactly is this sly little fox...!]

"Her Ahri ...she's also from Ionia," Chen Ce explained weakly.

[I know Ahri is Ionia... I mean... what exactly is your relationship...!] Sona grabbed the other person's hand tightly, and then accidentally...

It hit one of her fuller areas.

The bouncy texture and the range of its movements made Ahri feel extremely threatened.

"Oh~ it's Miss Cow~" Ahri teased. "Looks like you've been enjoying playing with animals lately, darling~ but how can a cow compare to a cute little puppy~?"

[Milk, cow...?!] Sona was embarrassed by this direct and vulgar term of endearment, but she still didn't let go of Chen Ce's hand.

Mr. Chen Ce... look at her...!

Chen Ce chose to remain silent.

[I was here first... Whether it's being friends or establishing a relationship... I was here first...!] Sona gritted her teeth, pulling harder and harder.

Although Ahri couldn't hear Sona's "voice," she could guess some of the meaning from her unwilling expression and immediately laughed, "My dear, you've been with me for a long time now~ You're the third party, aren't you? You should know a thing or two about shame~"

[You're the shameless one...!] Sona retorted in a frenzy using sign language.

Ahri simply shrugged indifferently, "But I'm not human, I'm just a little fox who doesn't know anything~"

[Mr. Chen Ce...!!] Sona is in a hurry.

"Darling~~!" Ahri was also a little afraid that "Miss Cow's" best features would overpower her.

So the two girls simply turned their anger towards Chen Ce, the middleman.

"If you don't give me an explanation, my darling is doomed today!"

[What's going on with Miss Ahri...! And what's going on with the Grand Marshal...! Please explain, Mr. Chen Ce...!]

Two different but equally melodious voices rang out, and Chen Ce couldn't help but shiver.

Ahri's sharp teeth were indeed pressed against his neck.

Sona's fingers, resting on the strings, seemed ready to play a radical piece.

Only... Tianna sneaked up to the bedside.

"Dogs won't hurt their owners... woof..."

Chapter 107 Morgana: You know a lot, don't you?

Chen Ce deeply regretted taking Tianna to find Sona while Ahri was next door...

Whether it was fun or not is another matter, but at least people were definitely hurt.

Yes, an injury in a physical sense.

Well, on the other hand, it's also quite hurtful... it feels like my body has been hollowed out.

"Ahri really bites... and so hard... no wonder foxes are canines..."

Chen Ce touched the reddened area on his neck, where a real wound was hidden among countless small hickeys... It had bled profusely back then, and if it weren't for his tenacious vitality, something serious might have happened.

"Sona... she's usually so gentle, but does she actually have a 'cruel' side...?"

Chen Ce touched his arm again; it not only smelled of milk, but also had bruises from being pinched. His ears were still ringing from the music.

"It has to be a truly well-behaved dog..."

Chen Ce finally remembered Tianna —only that obedient dog had tenderly applied medicine, massaged, and licked his wounds...

"That's terrifying..."

As night fell, Chen Ce finally slipped out of his room, intending to get some rest by himself.

He returned to his room, locked the door, and then lay comfortably on the bed, ready to get some sleep—the past few days had been neither particularly difficult nor particularly busy, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Demacia... finally, it's all settled.

Send Sett, Yone, and others to Great City, and have Ahri, Sona, and Lux keep an eye on things. There shouldn't be any more problems after that... As for that obedient dog, just remove her from her position as Grand Marshal and make her take some of the blame—take away her autonomy and give her some controllable power so that she will never "return to her wild self."

Only then can I always be an obedient, loving, and well-behaved dog.

The carrot and the stick should always be given together.

This could be considered turning an enemy into a friend... Hehe. Pretty good.

"So, the next task is..."

Chen Ce rolled over in bed and then stretched out a finger, gesturing a few circles on the soft mattress.

The three largest circles represent the three most powerful human empires: Demacia, Noxus, and Freljord.

As for the remaining factions... they can be broadly divided into the Twin Cities, Shurima, Mount Targon, Ixtal, Bilgewater, and the Shadow Isles across the sea.

The Aspects on Mount Targon are not easy to talk to, and there doesn't seem to be much profit to be made on the Shadow Isles... As for the Twin Cities, given that they are home to three great empires, those two technology and trade cities aren't that important.

The people there do not belong to any faction; they are essentially "three-surname slaves"—they are willing to contribute technology and manufacture equipment for anyone as long as they are paid.

With three major empires around, it's only a matter of time before they completely annex that area; for now, we don't need to spend too much energy on it.
