"My good brother, I want to ask you, would you mind if I stole your girl? Don't blame me for being ruthless—blame her for being too beautiful. But I still want to say sorry. She always praises you, has feelings for you too, but you're just not satisfying in that area. In her heart, the one she loves is still you, which is why she hasn't told you the truth. Maybe you two shouldn't have had this karma, maybe she and I are more suitable. If one day I fall in love with your wife, and your wife loves me back, brother please don't cry out loud. I promise I won't let them suffer. Can you attend our wedding? Your blessing would make it meaningful. If you're still willing to give a wedding gift, we can still be friends. And if you're willing to stay for the banquet, I'll remember that kindness in my heart."
Shrek City, Holy Spirit Hospital, Director's Office.
Yali changed into a doctor's uniform and once again performed a pole dance using her Heaven-Piercing Divine Spear.
Xia Yi recorded a video while doing live commentary.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yali asked, blushing after finishing the dance.
Just a stick of incense earlier, she had been chased here by Xia Yi.
Out of "guilt" toward Xia Yi, she didn't dare refuse his requests.
Under Xia Yi's coercion, she was forced to dance the pole again.
But seeing they were in a hospital, Xia Yi insisted she wear a doctor's uniform this time.
Coincidentally, she had just bought a brand new one in her storage ring.
Poor Yali—she had mocked Xia Yi earlier, and now she was being "humiliated in a hundred ways" by him.
"What if I post this video? What do you think would happen?" Xia Yi said, itching with resentment as he remembered how much Yali embarrassed him earlier.
Though he was thick-skinned, even he would lose face if this got out.
"I was wrong, Xia Yi, I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me," Yali pleaded with clasped hands, bowing repeatedly and looking at him with a pitiful gaze.
She wasn't like Xia Yi—he could be shameless, but she couldn't.
If he really posted that video, she'd rather die.
"Pfft, if I didn't want to play along with you, I wouldn't even be doing this." Although she looked genuinely apologetic, deep down she was secretly smug.
She knew Xia Yi wouldn't actually post it. He'd never push her to the edge.
Xia Yi wasn't that kind of person.
If he really did, she'd give up on him completely.
Of course, Xia Yi saw through her little thoughts.
"Damn you, Yali!" Seeing the flash of pride in her eyes, Xia Yi ground his teeth in anger again.
No matter how she apologized, he really couldn't post that video.
He hated this feeling of being annoyed at Yali yet unable to do anything about it.
"Xia Yi—no, Master Xia Yi, Saint Artisan Xia Yi—I was really wrong. I'll never do it again. How about I dance for you again?" Seeing his dangerous look, Yali quickly tried to appease him.
She believed he wouldn't post it, but better safe than sorry.
She didn't want to make him too mad.
"Dance what? You're not even doing a striptease," Xia Yi muttered under his breath.
He didn't dare say it out loud—he feared Yali would attack him.
But even muttering it, Yali trembled with rage. "Get out! Get out! I never want to see you again!"
Her eyes reddened. How could she not be furious? Even Yun Ming never saw her dance.
But for Xia Yi, she not only danced, but pole danced. In a doctor's uniform. Using her Divine Spear.
And now he even wanted her to strip?
Wasn't that trampling her dignity?
Did he think she was some maid to be summoned and dismissed?
Even a maid wouldn't serve like this.
Seeing that she was really angry, Xia Yi quickly backtracked: "There's no one else here. What's wrong with a couple doing something spicy in private?"
"Pfft, who's a couple with you?" Yali snorted coldly, her tone still icy, though slightly softened.
Xia Yi didn't dare argue. He quickly agreed: "Even for a day, a couple is still a couple. Didn't you say you'd let me handle things this time? You tricked me, then ran—what's that supposed to be?"
"Shameless. You really treat this as a transaction?" Yali looked at him with disdain.
"Was it me or you treating it like a deal? Can you be reasonable?" Xia Yi said helplessly.
"You're arguing with a woman? Where's your gentlemanly charm?" Yali smirked.
"I…" Xia Yi was speechless. This woman flipped moods faster than flipping a page.
Seeing he had nowhere to vent, Yali smirked.
But she knew how to give a sweet date after a slap. With a smile, she said, "Alright, don't be mad. I'll dance again, okay?"
"Huh…" Xia Yi was stunned. He didn't expect her to agree.
"But no recording," Yali added, biting her lip. Even she didn't know why she agreed.
Just seeing the disappointed look on Xia Yi's face made her give in.
It seemed that as long as he was happy, no matter how embarrassing, she'd do it.
"Yali, oh Yali, weren't you trying to draw the line with him? Why are you still flirting and even agreeing to this degrading stuff?" Yali sighed inwardly. If Yun Ming were still alive, would she allow herself to be treated this way?
"Brother Ming would never be this evil! He'd never humiliate me!" she whispered to herself.
"I won't record. Promise." Xia Yi instantly perked up.
"Just this once," Yali warned him.
"Just once, I swear," Xia Yi thumped his chest.
Yali snorted and began searching for tutorials on her soul guide communicator.
Just as she typed "strip dance," a chaotic video popped up.
"Damn Holy Spirit Church. Damn Shadow," she growled. It was a video released by the Holy Spirit Church, and the Federation still hadn't taken it down.
"You're not allowed to watch that! You're worse than the guy in Heavenly Fox Free Spirit," Yali snapped.
She clicked it anyway, and a message popped up: "Access to this page has been stopped."
Yali wasn't surprised. She copied the link and opened it in a different browser—success.
"Share that browser with me?" Xia Yi asked with a grin.
"Get lost!" Yali glared at him, then fast-forwarded to the middle. Sure enough, a girl with pink-blue eyes appeared.
She had long curly lashes, a slender body, pink-blue hair, and wore a white dress that made her look like a goddess. Her lips were plump and bright red.
As she danced, pieces of clothing fell one by one, leaving viewers wide-eyed.
"Yali, I didn't expect this from you," Xia Yi teased. She was so familiar with the video and knew exactly where to look. She must've watched it more than once.
"Say one more word, and I'm walking out," Yali snapped.
"My good brother, I want to ask you…" As he looked at Yali lying satisfied in his arms, Xia Yi felt immense gratification. He casually picked up the Heaven-Piercing Spear and began humming the same tune.
It wasn't that he had no willpower—it's just that no man could resist the Holy Spirit Douluo doing a striptease.
Yali only put up token resistance before giving in. She was even more intense than she had been on Devil's Island.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yali asked, blushing, and pinched Xia Yi hard at the waist.
"Satisfied, satisfied, hehe." Xia Yi laughed and smacked her rear, "Smack! Rested yet? If so, I'm going for another round!
