Facing the plasma ball, Fang Chang frowned slightly but didn’t dodge. Instead, she stepped forward to meet it.

Crackle—!

Chen Xiaotan thrust the plasma ball forward, and it struck Fang Chang squarely in the chest. Silver snakes of electricity danced wildly, energy surging—but a faint shield blocked it, keeping it from getting anywhere near Fang Chang.

Fang Chang reached out and grabbed for Chen Xiaotan. Chen Xiaotan retreated, trying to dodge her, but Fang Chang had descended in her true form. Even in her weakened state, her physical strength and neural responses were in the four digits.

Chen Xiaotan had no chance of dodging her.

Fang Chang caught her in one hand, then pressed down on her. She was barely 147 centimeters tall, with a petite frame, yet even a gentle press felt like a mountain bearing down on Chen Xiaotan. Fang Chang straddled her, pinning her hands and feet so she couldn’t move.

That was the power of Fang Chang’s gravity control. By adjusting her own gravitational field, she could make her weight skyrocket to a terrifying level.

At that point, her weight was measured in tons.

Watching Chen Xiaotan struggle helplessly beneath her, Fang Chang’s lips curled into a wicked smile. Suddenly, she thought of a perfect punishment.

There was no way Fang Chang could bring herself to kill anyone. But she couldn’t just let Chen Xiaotan off the hook. The girl had a persecution complex, and she’d ruined the male body Fang Chang had worked so hard to form. Letting her off without punishment would be unthinkable!

“Since you keep saying I’ve got ulterior motives, then I’ll show you exactly what I’m after. Heh heh heh. This is your…”

Fang Chang decided to punish her by teasing her.

“You… Let go of me! Don’t you dare…”

“Heh heh heh!”

As if Fang Chang would stop. She bent down, bringing her face close to Chen Xiaotan’s.

She was a beautiful, handsome girl, with bold features and short hair. With platform shoes and a little styling, she could even pass for a pretty boy. No wonder Chen Xiaoqian always called her “big brother.”

“You pervert! You lecher! You… you just—mm…”

Remembering what Lu Nongxi had done not long ago, Fang Chang followed that strange, wonderful feeling and imitated her.

The markings on her head spread apart, and the Shiyan Flower bloomed faintly.

It gave off an alluring aura that even Chen Xiaotan couldn’t resist. At first, she fought against it. But before long, she went from passive to proactive.

Fang Chang still hadn’t noticed. Thinking the punishment was over, she released Chen Xiaotan and straightened her clothes. Then, in the lofty tone of an expert, she said, “I’m not interested in you people! That was just a little punishment. I’ll let you off for today. If you do it again, then—ah!”

Before she could finish acting like some master, Chen Xiaotan—unable to hold back any longer—pounced on her and knocked her down.

“What are you doing?!”

The counterattack had begun.

Fang Chang fought back with all her might, but who knew what Chen Xiaotan had been through? She was familiar with all sorts of things and had some seriously strange techniques.

I was supposed to be the one forcing myself on her!

And this was my punishment!

With both of those things added together, I should’ve been the one taking the initiative!

I should’ve been enjoying a dreamlike stretch of happiness.

So why had things turned out like this?

I was—I was first! I was supposed to be the one who started it all. Knocking her down, punishing her for losing, even making the first move…

I was supposed to…

Why had things turned out like this?

In pain and pleasure, Fang Chang stared blankly at the ceiling, looking like something inside her had broken.

The battle lasted for over an hour, finally ending when Chen Xiaotan ran out of steam. The beautiful girl’s mind had been enchanted and led astray, and afterward she drifted off into a deep, hazy sleep.

But she was gripping Fang Chang too tightly. Fang Chang couldn’t pry her loose without hurting her.

So she had no choice but to hold Chen Xiaotan, climb into bed, pull up the covers, and fall asleep in her arms.

She squirmed restlessly, trying to free her hand, but the place Chen Xiaotan was still holding on to was too important. Fang Chang didn’t dare simply give it up.

What if Chen Xiaotan had another fit and broke through the last line of defense—the part local policy won’t let me show?!

Fang Chang felt this was deeply unfair.

“I mean, I’m a man. How did I end up getting bullied by a woman…”

After grumbling in frustration for a while, Fang Chang suddenly remembered something very important.

Ever since returning from completing the mission, she’d been busy nonstop. She still hadn’t had a chance to investigate the secrets of The Game!

She couldn’t move anyway, so she might as well check things out.

She closed her eyes and brought up The Game’s system.
