Adorably Fierce
Her previously slightly rough skin had become delicate and smooth, as warm and lustrous as white jade; the uneven skin tone and blemishes had vanished without a trace, replaced by a flawless, snow-white complexion. This astonishing transformation left everyone present speechless with amazement.
Such an astonishing transformation left everyone present speechless, especially Page One, who stood to the side, utterly dumbfounded. His eyes were fixed on Ulti, as if completely captivated by the breathtaking beauty before him, even forgetting the presence of others around him. Unconsciously, Page One couldn't help but slowly bring his face closer, seemingly wanting to appreciate this rare beauty up close.
However, just as Page One was about to approach Ulti, Moke, who had been silent all along, suddenly made a move. He swung his right arm with Inazuma speed. With a crisp "smack," Page One felt a burning pain on his cheek. Immediately afterward, a bright red and clearly visible handprint appeared on his cheek, a stark contrast to the surrounding fair skin.
At the same time, something unexpected happened. Due to the immense force of Moke's slap, the deep-seated Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark on Page One's face was also affected, instantly fading slightly. This unexpected situation immediately made the atmosphere tense, and everyone held their breath, quietly watching how things would unfold.
Page One, stunned by the blow, looked at Moke with a pitiful expression and whispered, "Captain..." Hearing this, Moke rolled his Byakugan and said irritably, "What? Did you expect me to spend half a day rubbing your face like I did when I treated your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Page One involuntarily recalled the scene of Moke gently massaging his sister's face. The thought of that tender and meticulous action about to befall him sent a shiver down his spine, and a chill ran up his spine. In an instant, his entire body seemed to freeze, standing stiffly in place like a lifeless piece of wood.
Oh my goodness, just imagining that scene sends chills down my spine and makes my hair stand on end! Come on, I'd rather take a few solid slaps than endure that gentle "torture." It's not a big deal, after all!
Meanwhile, seeing Page One's exaggerated reaction, Ulti understood immediately—the hateful Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark on her cheek had finally and completely disappeared. She couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the spot that had once been covered by the hoofprint... Her face, already flushed with excitement, was now as radiant as a ripe apple.
When she looked at Moke again, her eyes were filled with gratitude, but also revealed a strange emotion. It was a strange feeling that she couldn't quite explain.
Perhaps it was because, at this moment, a slight sense of loss arose deep within her heart... If only the captain's warm, large hands could linger a little longer, could they caress her a little longer! That tenderness was a wonderful feeling she had never experienced in her life.
