Forced to Act out a Strange Script with a Rival - Chapter 4

An arch-nemesis is an arch-nemesis. An arch-nemesis cannot be hugged…

I don’t know if the system modified something, giving Si Xiaoxiao the instincts of a dog, or if the soft, floppy succubus’s heart-shaped tail looked delicious, but Si Xiaoxiao actually bit down on it.

An arch-nemesis is an arch-nemesis. They cannot be held and randomly touched. An arch-nemesis can only bite the arch-nemesis’s tail.

That’s how it should be.

A succubus’s tail is a very special existence for them.

The moment Si Xiaoxiao’s canine teeth sank into the succubus’s tail, Li Ting felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The entire succubus’s skin turned pink.

Heart shapes involuntarily popped out of her eyes.

Perhaps this is just the nature of a succubus.

Even when facing a little dog, she couldn’t overcome her natural instincts.

The sensation of the barb scales scraping her tongue made Si Xiaoxiao instinctively flinch, but she bit down even harder, like a stubborn puppy guarding a bone, letting out a muffled whimper in her throat.

It was as if she was possessed. It was strange, but you couldn’t deny it: the texture was good, like some sort of soft, chewy snack.

“Let go!!”

Li Ting raised her voice, her body experiencing an unbearable abnormality. The heat flared up again, and her tail whipped frantically, trying to break free.

“I won’t!”

But this girl, Si Xiaoxiao, had clearly lost a screw somewhere, as she was gripping Li Ting’s waist with both hands.

The black gauze slipped from her shoulder, revealing a glaringly white shoulder where an old scar could vaguely be seen. It looked terrifying, but resting on the woman’s fair skin, it added a touch of flawed beauty.

Li Ting’s eyes were momentarily caught by the scar. Immediately, the memory of a young boy protecting her flashed in her mind, causing her to momentarily lose focus.

Evidently, the system was a troublemaker who loved to watch the chaos. It did not prevent this kind of “subversion of power,” nor did it mind the sudden change in their relationship. Instead, it equally inconvenienced both of them.

And so, the mechanical, electronic voice sounded again: “Ding—Detecting a feeding requirement from the Contract Dog. Please, Miss Succubus, feed it as soon as possible.”

“Si Xiaoxiao, are you really treating yourself like a dog?” Li Ting’s tail tip was stinging intensely, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

“This is called a gentleman’s revenge, and ten years is not too late!” Si Xiaoxiao mumbled, refusing to be outdone.

She hadn’t understood why she felt the need to bite her enemy’s tail, but now, she only knew one thing: the more her arch-nemesis didn’t want something to happen, the more she absolutely had to do it.

With that, she suddenly increased the force of her bite.

“What kind of gentleman does that?” Li Ting sighed. Who bites someone’s tail?

“I don’t care. You have to complete the task given by the system~” Si Xiaoxiao still didn’t let go of the succubus’s tail. It was a wonder she could even speak with it in her mouth.

Li Ting couldn’t take it anymore. A strange electric current coursed through her body. She reached back to pry open Si Xiaoxiao’s jaw, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes: “Biting me again? Do you believe I’ll pluck off your dog ears?”

“Mmmph! Mmmph!” Si Xiaoxiao’s cheeks were squeezed, tears covered her face, and she struggled to maintain her bite. Her tongue unconsciously licked the fine scales on the tail.

This idiot! What is she licking?!

It was supposed to be just a hug. So what if arch-nemeses hugged?

Now, the difficulty of the task had suddenly escalated. Isn’t biting the tail very suggestive?

Li Ting’s ears instantly turned bright red, and her entire body stiffened as if electrocuted. The tip of her tail “poofed,” emitting pink smoke, and a strange, alluring fragrance suddenly began to permeate the air.

The two were very close, and the clothes they were wearing had been specially changed by the system for the sake of ‘amusement.’

Thus, the entire scene looked even more intimate.

As the pink smoke spread, Li Ting’s skin grew hotter, and her body spasmed slightly. It was very unusual.

Si Xiaoxiao, who only intended to make her arch-nemesis suffer, was stunned.

She blinked in confusion, released her bite, but instinctively licked her lips at the same time.

It tasted sweet. Maybe it wasn’t bad after all?

Li Ting seized the opportunity to quickly snatch her tail out of the “dog’s mouth.”

Instantly, a sense of relief, as if she had escaped a catastrophe, washed over her.

This system seemed to welcome any action that could bring them into close physical contact, yet it subtly guided them toward confrontation. It was truly bizarre.

The so-called intimacy level…

How high did it need to be for them to leave this strange space?

Whenever Li Ting had a question, the system always seemed to provide an answer.

A prompt popped up on the screen at the right time, encouraging the two to continue their quarrel: “Feeding progress has reached 50%. Miss Succubus, please continue to work hard.”

Clearly, this was meant to provoke conflict between the two.

In other words, this trickster system only required physical intimacy. Even if they hated each other to death, it demanded they “act out their hatred” within this system.

But did she have to be bitten again?

Recalling her body’s reaction just now, no, she couldn’t let it happen again.

Li Ting hugged her wildly thrashing tail, jumping away like she was guarding against a thief. The normally calm and composed woman cried out in exasperation: “Can this thing… can it really be eaten?! It hurts so much!”

The culprit, Si Xiaoxiao, blinked innocently, sitting obediently on the floor in a duck-sitting posture. A trace of cunning flashed in her round cat eyes: “Master, hungry, food.”

Clearly, she was doing this on purpose. What was a little suffering for herself if it meant tormenting her arch-nemesis?

That was nothing!

“You… you really think you’re a dog?”

Li Ting hadn’t expected Si Xiaoxiao to be so utterly shameless.

But it was also normal. She was her arch-nemesis, after all. Of course, she would take the opportunity to torment her.

But she really didn’t want her tail bitten again.

Being bitten on the tail wasn’t just about the pain; what Li Ting disliked even more was the feeling of being completely out of control, of being in someone else’s power.

It was truly awful.

But her mischievous rival was still provoking her: “Didn’t Master want me to be good? Doesn’t Master like the little dog anymore? Why won’t you feed the little dog?”

Meanwhile, the equally mischievous system was enthusiastically watching the spectacle.

“Miss Succubus, please try your best to satisfy the little dog’s needs and increase mutual intimacy.”

Si Xiaoxiao put on the perfect innocent expression.

Before, she would rather be electrocuted than call her ‘Master,’ but now, she said it with smooth ease.

This woman’s bottom line was flexible indeed.

No, rather, it was pure.

She was purely intent on annoying Li Ting.

This girl… okay, very good.

Being provoked like this, Li Ting calmed down instead. She narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming somewhat dangerous.

It’s just feeding, isn’t it?

She wants to eat the tail? Doesn’t a little dog have a tail of its own?

She snapped her fingers, an idea forming in her mind: “Since you love eating so much—then eat.”

As her thought moved, just like when she wished the cage to disappear, a bag of dog food appeared in Li Ting’s hand.

Li Ting confirmed again that the so-called system controlling this space was something that their current level of technology could not compete with.

In other words, instead of trying to figure out how to destroy the system, it was indeed better to obey the system for now.

It was so irritating, this feeling of being controlled by others.

Li Ting’s expression darkened a few shades more.

“I don’t want it! Bad woman, how dare you? What do you mean? Feed me dog food? I’m a human! How can a human eat dog food? Believe me, I’ll bite you if you try!” Si Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, and her ears twitched in a very human-like gesture.

At this point, the little dog was no longer obedient, loudly refusing and protesting.

How could a little dog refuse? This wasn’t right!

“Bite me?” Li Ting tilted her head, black aura seemingly condensing around her.

Although Si Xiaoxiao was a little afraid of Li Ting’s current expression, she still spoke, though her voice lacked conviction: “I-I’ll bite off your horns, believe me! I, King Si Xiaoxiao, always keep my promises! Don’t underestimate me!!”

Li Ting slowly stood up, smiling with murderous intent. The silver chain tautened, pulling the girl to her feet. Li Ting looked down at Si Xiaoxiao from above, her tone surprisingly gentle.

“I believe you. Of course, I do.”

“╭(╯^╰)╮!” King Si Xiaoxiao arrogantly put her hands on her hips.

“But, do you want to stay here with me forever?”

Li Ting was smiling, but the aura around her was so intense it was difficult to breathe.

She looked very much like a black-hearted arch-demon king: “Your—no, our time is only thirty minutes. Stop being childish, Si Xiaoxiao. Abandon your damn pride and bravado. Wouldn’t it be better to just be a good little dog?”

“I…” Si Xiaoxiao nervously tugged at the light gauze she was wearing.

“So, listen to me. I’ll take you out. All you have to do is trust me.”

At this moment, the more gentle she was, the more dangerous she seemed. It was like a gentle knife, each cut fatal, like death by a thousand cuts.

Li Ting sometimes carried a touch of madness. The gentler she was, the more… terrifying she became.

Si Xiaoxiao looked up at the woman before her. The dark succubus attire was definitely “Master-level,” making her look completely different from the Li Ting she usually saw.

Teacher Li was famous in the entertainment industry for her good temper and gentle beauty, always composed and emotionally stable.

Even when faced with Si Xiaoxiao’s jumping, running, and wild provocation, most of the time, she simply chose to ignore it.

Even when extremely angry, she would at most offer a few sarcastic remarks, never losing her composure like Si Xiaoxiao, who often got flustered and defeated.

A small animal’s intuition is very accurate. Which people can be provoked, and which cannot; which can sometimes, and which cannot at other times. They are always very sensitive, possessing a basic instinct for self-preservation.

Si Xiaoxiao reflected that she seemed to have truly angered Li Ting.

Ahem, whatever. Since she’s already angry… admitting defeat now is for the sake of a better victory in the future!

“Eat then, eat. It’s just dog food! Who hasn’t had it before!”

Si Xiaoxiao put on an expression as if she were heroically sacrificing herself. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth, truly handing the power of “execution” over to Li Ting.

Seeing Si Xiaoxiao’s expression at this moment, Li Ting instead laughed.

But this was not a mocking laugh. Instead, she laughed with a hint of tenderness, an indulgence she herself hadn’t noticed.

The reason she was angry wasn’t Si Xiaoxiao’s resistance; she was angry at the system.

The system had forcibly bound them together, issuing so-called tasks regardless of their will.

And inconveniently, they couldn’t resist or defeat it.

So, it was very frustrating.

“Idiot.”

Immediately, something was placed into Si Xiaoxiao’s mouth. A soft fingertip brushed lightly against her lips but didn’t linger, quickly pulling away. Then, a sweet milky flavor exploded between her teeth and tongue.

It wasn’t a dog bone. It was a milk candy, the familiar taste from her memory.
