“Little Fox, I know it might not be the best time to say this, but I’m honestly surprised this game is allowed to operate so blatantly.”
“Well, it gives people an outlet for their emotions. And honestly, it’s not that blatant when you think about it.”
After all, looking at it from the outside, the game doesn’t seem abnormal.
If anything, aside from players who invest time in figuring out certain hidden mechanics, most people wouldn’t notice anything questionable about it.
“Forget it. I already agreed to it, but I’ve never really understood—Little Fox, what exactly do you like about this character?”
Serveyia muttered as she stepped out of the room. She was no longer wearing Neng Dai’s default outfit, but instead a festival kimono.
Liuli looked Serveyia up and down. She felt she needed to take back what she’d said earlier—Neng Dai’s other clothes actually had very enticing stockings too.
“If I said I liked this character’s legs, Serveyia, would you be mad?”
“Not really. I’m just curious. I know a bit about this game, and there are plenty of more revealing characters. Why do you want me to cosplay this one specifically? Come to think of it, I remember the first time we met, you were staring at my legs too, weren’t you?”
“Y-yes.”
Being called out by Serveyia was embarrassing, especially since she said it with such a straight face. That only made Liuli feel worse.
“So, Little Fox, you like girls’ legs?”
“Is this some kind of embarrassing XP roast session?”
“No, you don’t have to tell me, Little Fox. But as your partner, I think it’s important for me to know your preferences. It’ll make things easier in the future, don’t you think?”
“In the future…” Serveyia didn’t elaborate on what that meant, but those words still made Liuli hopeful.
Compared to some vague reason, this kind of practical, caring reasoning was more moving. “If I had to say it, it’s not that I like girls’ legs, but…”
“But what?”
Okay, even if Serveyia’s words moved Liuli, she had to admit that being forced to reveal her XP was still too hard.
Especially since she knew her preferences weren’t exactly mainstream.
“It’s girls’ feet—but not just any girl. Pretty girls. So I think I might be a face-controller.”
“Oh? So when you look at my legs right now, you get excited?”
“Y-yes…”
Liuli’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s hum. The moment she heard Serveyia’s “conclusion,” her face flushed bright red, and she immediately lowered her head, unable to look Serveyia in the eye.
“So, if I do this, would it make you happy, Little Fox?”
Serveyia moved in forcefully, pushing Liuli down onto the sofa. Then, her right foot, still clad in stockings, slipped out of its wooden clog and slowly pressed onto Liuli’s thigh.
“I-I’m not excited at all!”
Even though Liuli said that, looking at the flustered little fox beneath her, the nine tails behind her were already puffing up neatly.
From above, it looked like Little Fox was carrying a basket of white radishes.
“Little Fox says she isn’t, but her body seems to think otherwise.”
Liuli watched as Serveyia’s foot moved upward step by step.
Her heart was racing faster and faster, her gaze fixed on it, burning.
She wanted to stop it but didn’t know how. She couldn’t just grab it, could she?
“Little Fox keeps staring at my foot. Do you like it that much?”
“I don’t like it! Put it down!”
“But Little Fox, don’t you like it?”
“I don’t! Hurry up and put your foot down!”
Serveyia didn’t put it down immediately. Instead, she moved it up a little more.
“Little Fox, this is a rare opportunity. Want to give it a try?”
“Try? Try what?”
“Hehe. Little Fox, you know what I mean. There’s no need to play dumb here.”
Liuli’s gaze unconsciously returned to Serveyia’s foot. She had to admit, this really was a rare chance.
She had so many questions she wanted to settle. They weren’t exactly refined questions, but human curiosity was endless.
Could she really suppress it when such an opportunity was right in front of her?
“Liuli, are you there?”
Yike’s voice came from outside the door. The call snapped Liuli back to reality.
Seeing her own hands reaching toward Serveyia’s foot, Liuli’s face turned scarlet.
Her body recoiled as if shocked. Her nine tails finally gave out and wrapped around her in a flash.
“No rush, Little Fox. There’s still tonight.”
Serveyia said this softly outside the white fox ball, then leisurely opened the door.
“Liuli, I came to play—” Yike’s voice cut off as she saw the white ball on the sofa. Then Liuli heard Yike rush over to her. “Serveyia, are you bullying Liuli again?”
“Oh? I’m not bullying Little Fox. If you don’t believe me, Yike, you can ask her yourself.”
“Hmph! If I find out you’ve been bullying Liuli, I won’t let you off!”
Yike approached the ball, hesitated for a moment as if unsure of its structure, then gave up and leaned close to whisper outside.
“Liuli, is Serveyia bullying you? Don’t worry, I’m here to protect you, Little Fox. Just speak up!”
“N-no, we were just messing around…”
Liuli’s voice came out muffled from the fur ball. Even though she said no, Yike thought it sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
“Really? Bullying Her Highness the Princess is a serious offense. Just say the word, Little Fox, and Serveyia won’t dare do anything to you.”
“Really, no…”
What else could Liuli say? That she wanted to play with Serveyia’s beautiful foot but Yike interrupted?
Wait—so this was Yike ruining her good time—no, ruining her curiosity. If that was the case, couldn’t she just stop hiding and get mad at Yike instead?
“Fine… Seeing that she couldn’t get more out of Liuli, Yike turned her attention back to Serveyia. “Even if you didn’t bully her, why is she like this? A Nine-tailed Celestial Fox wouldn’t wrap herself up for no reason.”
“Maybe she’s shy because of my charm? After all, I cosplayed her favorite character for her. Being shy is only natural.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Or does Yike think we were about to start something and that’s why Little Fox is so embarrassed?”
What was Serveyia even saying? Liuli almost let out a sharp shriek inside her fur ball. Did she have no one she cared about in this world?
“That’s unlikely. With Liuli’s personality, doing something like that in broad daylight is probably out of the question.”
‘Sorry, but from the looks of it, I might actually be the one to do that.’
“Alright, Liuli, don’t be shy. I admit Serveyia looks charming in that outfit, but you really don’t need to be this embarrassed. If it’s too much, just keep looking at her a few times, and you’ll get used to it. Besides, I dressed up deliberately today. Won’t you take a look, Liuli?”
“Dressed up?”
Intrigued by Yike’s words, Liuli cracked open her fur ball just a little, observing Yike through the gap.
Yike had always dressed as a girl and sometimes wore cosplay during streams, but Liuli had never seen this outfit before. And it didn’t seem to be a cosplay of any character?
“Ta-da! What do you think? Pretty?”
“Hmm, I think it’s great, Yike. Is this a cosplay of a character?”
“No, it’s my own combination.”
Yike spun around happily after receiving Liuli’s positive comment. She was wearing a cheongsam.
For some reason, Liuli always felt that foxgirls and cheongsams went particularly well together.
Yike’s cheongsam was a dark cyan color, with faint orchid patterns climbing from the hem all the way up to the waist, where they gradually disappeared.
The slit wasn’t too high, but the side buttons still showcased Yike’s personality—not the ordinary style, but something more flamboyant.
As for the foxgirl part, Yike’s fluffy big tail kept swaying back and forth. Honestly, it was really eye-catching.
“Hehe, this is one of my favorite outfits. From the looks of it, you like it too, Liuli.”
“So Little Fox likes this kind…”
Serveyia added fuel to the fire from the side. Liuli remembered that Neng Dai’s outfits also included a cheongsam.
But looking at Serveyia’s thoughtful expression, Liuli felt like she was plotting something.
“Hmph, Serveyia, are you finally acknowledging my charm?”
Yike laughed proudly with her hands on her hips. But honestly, that smile didn’t quite match her outfit.
“Don’t celebrate too soon, Yike. I have a cheongsam too, and it’s also from a character Little Fox likes. If Little Fox wants to see it, I can change right now. Little Fox, do you want to see?”
