After Transmigrating into a Book as a Cannon Fodder Character, The System Turned out to be Completely Unreliable! - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Peculiar Tastes

 

The moment Ye Lingxi woke up, dazed and disoriented, she immediately noticed she wasn’t wearing a single thing. She turned her head to look at the still-sleeping Ji Fuyu.

 

This wretched woman! She really had a twisted kink—taking advantage of people while they were asleep.

 

Fuming, Ye Lingxi wanted nothing more than to slap her across the face, but just as she raised her hand, Ji Fuyu stirred. She quickly withdrew her hand and pretended nothing had happened.

 

“You’re awake? Husband~” Ye Lingxi threw her arms around her.

 

Still groggy, Ji Fuyu mumbled, “It’s morning already?”

 

“Mhm.”

 

Woken before she’d fully come to her senses, Ji Fuyu asked in a daze, “What are you doing?”

 

“I’m waking you up, my dear husband. You don’t like it?” Ye Lingxi started acting all coy and clingy.

 

Ji Fuyu softly replied, “I do.”

 

“I knew you would.” Ye Lingxi rubbed against her. “You smell so good, husband. I love it.”

 

Ji Fuyu’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Now, get up.”

 

“Why get up? I was hoping we could relive last night again~” Ye Lingxi buried herself into her chest. Even saying that made her want to puke.

 

Ji Fuyu didn’t respond immediately.

 

Not hearing a reply, Ye Lingxi lifted her head—only to see Ji Fuyu staring up at the ceiling. She followed her gaze and asked, “What are you looking at?”

 

“Nothing,” Ji Fuyu said.

 

“You’re clearly looking at something.” Ye Lingxi puffed up her cheeks. “Why won’t you tell me?”

 

“I really wasn’t looking at anything.” Ji Fuyu started to get up, and as she moved, the blanket slid down, revealing everything underneath.

 

Ye Lingxi’s eyes widened in shock. She pretended like she hadn’t seen anything and quickly got out of bed herself, deciding not to gross herself out any further.

 

Before she could move far, Ji Fuyu’s large hand wrapped around her waist, her chin resting on Ye Lingxi’s shoulder as she whispered, “Aren’t you going to help me get dressed?”

 

Ye Lingxi froze. “I’m not even dressed myself yet. Let me change first, then I’ll help you.”

 

Ji Fuyu was clearly not satisfied. “But I want you to help me now.”

 

Ye Lingxi: “…”

 

She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?

 

“But I’m still naked… It’s really not convenient.”

 

Ji Fuyu pried her hands away. “I like it when you serve me like this.”

 

Ye Lingxi: “…”

 

You perv! What do you even want?!

 

“Husband…” Ye Lingxi turned around to speak, but Ji Fuyu suddenly kissed her—fierce and overwhelming. She was caught completely off guard.

 

“You…”

 

“I won’t say it a third time.”

 

Ye Lingxi: “…Fine, fine, fine.”

 

Reluctantly, she helped her get dressed. Just as she was about to finish tying the sash, Ji Fuyu deliberately let it drop to the ground. Ye Lingxi bent over to pick it up and tied it again, only for it to slip once more.

 

Watching it fall again, Ye Lingxi didn’t move this time. Ji Fuyu gave her a look, signaling her to pick it up.

 

Ye Lingxi stared at her for a moment without budging.

 

Ji Fuyu frowned. “Why aren’t you picking it up?”

 

Instead of answering, Ye Lingxi asked, “Why do you keep dropping it?”

 

Ji Fuyu knew her little game had been exposed. “I enjoy having you undress me.”

 

Ye Lingxi: “…”

 

Enjoy your head!

 

“But I’m cold! I want to get dressed quickly,” Ye Lingxi lowered her voice, pretending to act pitiful.

 

Ji Fuyu softened. “Alright then, put your clothes on first.”

 

“Thank you, husband.”

 

Thank heavens. This woman’s brain is nothing but indecent thoughts.

 

Ye Lingxi hurriedly dressed herself, not leaving any chance for her to linger. Once dressed, she picked up the sash again—this time tying it so tightly that Ji Fuyu’s waist nearly snapped.

 

“What do you think, husband?” she asked sweetly.

 

Ji Fuyu winced slightly. She had definitely pulled it too tight.

 

“I just didn’t want it to fall off again,” Ye Lingxi said innocently, looking up at her from a crouch.

 

Ji Fuyu tried to hold in her reaction. “That’s not too much for me.”

 

Ye Lingxi smiled triumphantly. Let’s see you mess with me again!

 

“Husband, do you want me to tighten anything else?”

 

“No need,” Ji Fuyu quickly refused. “This is fine. Don’t trouble yourself.”

 

“Alright then.” Ye Lingxi smiled a little on the outside but was celebrating wildly on the inside. She stood up and said, “If you need anything, you have to tell me. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad not undressing you again.”

 

Ji Fuyu: “…”

 

Why did that sound like mockery?

 

“Your thoughtfulness pleases me greatly,” Ji Fuyu replied stiffly.

 

Oh, pleased? Yeah right. You’re just stubborn!

 

“Thank you for the compliment, husband~” Ye Lingxi said as she bounced happily around.

 

Ji Fuyu: “…”

 

“When will you take me rabbit hunting like you promised?” Ye Lingxi asked, reminding her of yesterday’s deal.

 

“I told you already. In two days.”

 

“Why not today? Are you lying to me?” Ye Lingxi started to pout.

 

“I…”

 

“You’re lying!”

 

“You said you would take me—you can’t go back on your word! We pinky promised!” she cried, her voice echoing around.

 

Ji Fuyu’s head was beginning to throb. “I already told you—in two days!” Her tone grew stern.

 

Ye Lingxi shut her mouth and lowered her head. Ji Fuyu thought she’d finally calmed down—until Ye Lingxi suddenly burst out again.

 

“No! I want to go today!” she shouted, dropping to the floor and starting to roll around.

 

Ji Fuyu: “…”

 

“Ye Lingxi!” Ji Fuyu barked, using her full name.

 

Ye Lingxi froze, realizing she may have gone too far. She quietly lowered her head like a scolded child.

 

Ji Fuyu sighed. “Reflect on your behavior.”

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“My affairs are none of your concern.”

 

Ye Lingxi: “…”

 

As soon as Ji Fuyu left, Ye Lingxi dropped the act and muttered, “Tch. I don’t even care what you’re up to. You think I want you hanging around me all the time? How am I supposed to escape if you’re always here?”

 

She dusted herself off and went to have breakfast.

 

“To live well, you’ve gotta eat well and have a good mindset.” She munched on a chicken leg with one hand while basking in her own leisure.

 

“But seriously… Why hasn’t the system brought people here yet? Did something go wrong?” Her meat didn’t even taste good anymore—a chunk dropped to the ground. “My meat! I barely had a bite!”

 

She picked it up and tried to brush off the dirt, but it was no use.

 

Elsewhere—

 

“Your Majesty, we’ve spotted Fu Guang nearby,” Jin Guan reported their findings.

 

Ji Fuyu mused, “I see. Keep watching them. If they make a move—eliminate them all.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Wu Ri Xianren asked, “Your Majesty, what about the one we’re holding in the Demon Palace?”

 

“Keep her for now.”

 

“But she’s dangerous. They’re all looking for her.”

 

“I know.”

 

“But—”

 

“I said no more! I’ll handle it.” Ji Fuyu gave him a sharp look.

 

Wu Ri Xianren sighed. “Yes, Your Majesty.” He and Jin Guan retreated.

 

Jin Guan chuckled, “That’s what you get for talking too much.”

 

Wu Ri Xianren tried to hit him, but Jin Guan shrank into his turtle shell. “You can’t hit me!”

 

Wu Ri Xianren swiped again and missed.

 

“You stupid turtle! One day you’re gonna lose that neck!”

 

“Still better than your messy hair.”

 

“My hair? Say that again!”

 

“It’s hideous.”

 

“At least I don’t have a giant turtle shell slowing me down. I have to drag you around everywhere!”

 

“So what? My shell is indestructible!”

 

They bickered the whole way, loud enough for Ji Fuyu to hear from afar.

 

“These two noisy old fools…” she muttered.

 

“Don’t be mad, Your Majesty.” Jing approached, presenting a shiny trinket. “Look at this treasure I just found!”

 

He held up a gem-studded necklace.

 

Ji Fuyu: “…”

 

“What? You don’t think it looks good?”

 

“It’s hideous,” she snapped and left without mercy.

 

Jing pouted. “Ugh, no taste at all.” He kept admiring the necklace anyway. “It’s so pretty…”

 

Back at the palace—

 

Ji Fuyu returned to find Ye Lingxi chasing a chicken, feathers flying everywhere.

 

“Husband! Help me catch this chicken!” Ye Lingxi shouted.

 

The chicken flew straight at her and kicked her in the chest before she could dodge.
