Chapter 5: birds

Under the moon, Liuli, you bad Dog, just what kind of weird things did you set up in this house?

Luo Tianyou wanted to escape this room immediately, but as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, an invisible force bounced her fingers away.

“No way…”

Unwilling, Luo Tianyou pushed at it, then tried to find other locks or mechanisms, but it was all in vain.

This room really was shrouded in Magic.

You could only leave if you met the conditions.

But I’m the only one here!

How am I supposed to be shy?

How do I even get shy?

Luo Tianyou lay powerless by the bed.

She pounded the mattress in frustration.

Was she really going to be trapped here until she died, waiting for Liuli to find her and bring even worse punishment?

Just thinking of Liuli’s slender fingers made Luo Tianyou’s legs go weak.

That damn Dog definitely did this on purpose!

As she was giving up and almost burying herself in the quilt, the starry battle suit on her body suddenly began to heat up, burning against her skin—especially her lower belly.

“Yiya…”

Then, on the once-blank wall by the headboard, a Stellar Pattern appeared, with a line of pink, glowing text:

[Abnormal intrusion detected… no abnormality.]

[Rule adaptability adjusting…]

[Special rule activated: Proof of Heartbeat]

[Requirement: Within the barrier, prove that the heart of a maiden has been violently shaken by some emotion (shyness, anticipation, desire… all acceptable), with the peak of Magic lighting up all Starmoon Patterns in the room as the sign.]

[Method: Unlimited.]

[Tip: Sincere emotions are the best medium to guide Magic. Memories, imagination, etc.]

Luo Tianyou stared dumbfounded at the explanations.

Was this interference from the starry battle suit, causing the rules here to change?

Just how powerful was her mother’s battle suit…

But if she wanted to leave, she’d still have to complete the rule.

But I’m a man.

Where would I find a maiden’s heart, let alone one that could be shaken violently?

“Ugh… What do I do…”

Luo Tianyou let out a miserable moan.

Was she really supposed to recall or imagine things as the hint said?

But imagine what? That villain Liuli?

The moment the thought appeared, Luo Tianyou felt her cheeks heat up.

In her mind, images of Liuli approaching, her soft warm body, and alluring scent flashed by.

[Buzz——]

A small portion of the Stellar Pattern in the center of the room lit up weakly, then went dark.

“Eh?!”

It worked?

Was she really supposed to think about that person?

Luo Tianyou felt a deep sense of humiliation and shame.

This was like wagging her tail and begging that damn Dog on purpose.

But the temptation of freedom was right in front of her.

ompared to being caught and then whatever else, actively getting emotional seemed a better deal.

In her mind, Liuli’s figure appeared—

She lounged lazily on the sofa, golden hair spread out, her eyes smiling.

Then she hugged Luo Tianyou from behind.

She forcefully pulled Luo Tianyou back into her arms.

She pressed Luo Tianyou onto the bed.

She grabbed both of Luo Tianyou’s wrists with one hand…

[Buzz buzz——]

More Starmoon Patterns lit up in succession, emitting light.

“Uuuhh…”

Luo Tianyou unconsciously squeezed her legs, wrapped in over-the-knee stockings, together.

Her slender waist twisted slightly, a soft moan spilling from her throat.

Her body felt strange, soft and powerless, yet yearning for something.

At that moment,

There seemed to be a sound at the door.

“Master, where are you? The Dog smells your scent~~”

Ahh, she’s coming, she’s coming…

Luo Tianyou froze in terror.

Think, think! Brain, think!

In her mind, the dominant Liuli instantly transformed into a Liuli wielding a giant microphone, chasing her wildly.

Luo Tianyou cowered in the room, trembling.

Bang!!

A giant purple microphone split the door, and Liuli’s exquisite, smackable face poked in.

“Found you, Master…”

“Dammit!!!!”

[Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——!!]

The Starmoon Patterns instantly lit up.

Luo Tianyou jumped in shock, her face flushing crimson, even her ears burning, as she dashed to the back door, gripping the handle and twisting.

It opened!

Overjoyed, Luo Tianyou burst outside, the warm sun of freedom shining over her.

Some birds just can’t be caged!

Run!

She’d never return to this hellhole, she’d go home, strip off her clothes, and escape the city with her over ten million.

“Found you, Master, you—”

Liuli entered the room, but the Luo Tianyou who should have been there was gone, completely unexpected.

“Not here?”

“How is that possible?”

Liuli’s brows furrowed tightly.

[This is a room you can’t leave unless you get flustered]

“Hmph.”

Liuli snorted.

Worlds constructed by her Magic almost never failed.

All participants in her Yuehua Domain had to follow the rules, except herself.

She approached the door, intending to end the scene, but to her surprise…

The door wouldn’t open.

Clack.

Clack.

Liuli twisted it harder, her beautiful face briefly stunned.

Impossible.

This house, the entire villa’s Yuehua Domain, was built and maintained by her Magic.

The rules here, whether it was the key belonging to the master or this ‘can’t leave without getting flustered’ room, all originated from her will.

She’d purposely dragged Luo Tianyou in for this game.

But now, the rules seemed beyond her control.

Liuli noticed the pink letters on the wall, her lips pursed.

So that’s how it is.

She closed her eyes and began to sense the lingering Magic traces in the room.

Soon,

“Heh…”

Liuli let out a low laugh.

“She lit up the Starmoon Pattern by thinking of me? What a cute way of proving it.”

She focused, no longer commanding as the domain’s master, but as a participant completing the rule.

She recalled the feel of holding Luo Tianyou’s slender waist, the watery light in those violet eyes, the trembling softness of her body, and the unconscious moan deep in her throat…

Truly,Irresistible.

Buzz——

The Stellar Pattern on the wall, which had dimmed, lit up again.

“Click.”

A soft sound, and the door unlocked.

Liuli pushed the door open and walked to the entrance, but the frightened little bunny was already gone.

“She ran fast…”

“But it’s fine. Let her run for a bit. The game has only just begun…”

“After all, Dogs are the best at searching for and chasing after their masters.”

—

Luo Tianyou finally returned home.

She locked the door, then slid down to the floor, panting heavily, her body wracked with strange heat and weakness.

“No matter what, I made it back.”

She had to get these clothes off quickly.

Fumbling, Luo Tianyou untied and unbuttoned the battle suit, taking it all off and folding it neatly.

“Whew…”

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Time to get her own clothes from the wardrobe and change.

She opened the wardrobe.

But found that the clothes, which she could usually reach easily, were now out of reach even on tiptoe.

Huh?

She had a bad feeling.

Looking down—

Oh no.

Some birds really can’t be caged.
