"How is it… do you like tails?"
The whisper brushed his ear, accompanied by something soft stroking over him—the fluffy fox tail.
Most importantly, his eyes were covered.
This experience…
This fox was way too good at this!!
Lin Mo forced himself to stay calm, already deciding that he absolutely could not let Yae Miko notice how her tail was stirring a fire in his chest.
Because he was certain—
With how mischievous this fox was, the moment she sensed his inner turmoil, she'd tease him endlessly and never let him have his way!
"Ahem…"
Lin Mo coughed lightly, softening his voice as much as he could.
"Miko, stop fooling around. Hurry up and let me eat."
"Eat? Sure~"
Yae Miko answered agreeably, yet the hand covering his eyes didn't move at all.
Thankfully, she did pull away the fox tail that had been tormenting him, finally giving Lin Mo a chance to breathe.
But just as he was about to ask why she still wouldn't let go, a faint aroma of sautéed shrimp drifted into his nose.
"Come on, open your mouth. Ah~"
Yae Miko's voice arrived at just the right moment.
Lin Mo immediately realized—
Was she feeding him with a spoon wrapped in her tail?!
"Miko, eating is something I can do myself," Lin Mo said quickly, lifting his hand to remove the palm covering his eyes.
But in the very next instant—
"Hiss—hey! That hurts!"
She bit his hand.
And because his mouth opened in surprise, Yae Miko smoothly delivered the shrimp into his mouth.
"Mmm. That's more like it."
Her voice by his ear was clearly filled with satisfaction.
She even added a reminder:
"Just like you told me back then—be good, and don't even think about resisting."
Now Lin Mo finally understood.
Back then, when the little fox had been injured, she'd sometimes sulk and refuse to take her medicine. His solution had been to gently cover her eyes and slowly feed her the medicine with a spoon.
Thousands of years had passed…
So why had their roles completely reversed?
How had he become the one being fed now?
"Miko… I don't remember biting you back then," Lin Mo said helplessly.
"Well, I was an untamed little fox," Yae Miko replied matter-of-factly. "Isn't it normal for a fox to bite people?"
"If Lord Saiguu finds it unfair, then how about this—wherever I bit you, you can bite me back."
"Who would be bored enough to bite your hand?" Lin Mo shot back.
"Oh? Just the hand?"
The implication in her words made Lin Mo's mind jump—
Yesterday, this fox had been biting enthusiastically inside his collar!
Tch…
The image flashed through his mind.
Biting back…
No, no, no! His blood pressure was spiking!
"Come on, be good. Open your mouth~"
Her gentle voice reached his ears again.
Still lost in his thoughts, Lin Mo subconsciously parted his lips.
"Mm…"
A soft, tender sensation.
Lin Mo instantly realized—
This time, she wasn't feeding him food.
It was a kiss.
He didn't know how much time passed.
Yae Miko finally pulled away and returned to her seat.
Lin Mo sat there dazed, a lingering sense of longing still clinging to him.
"Not today, okay~"
Yae Miko seemed to see straight through his expression, smiling alluringly.
"There's a faint hint of tobacco on Lord Saiguu's lips. You must have just kissed Ningguang, didn't you?"
She could even tell that?
At this point, Lin Mo felt this woman was far more terrifying than Lisa.
"…Yes. At the General Affairs Office," he answered honestly.
"Hmm. Since I was the one who took the initiative this time, I'll make an exception."
Yae Miko casually picked up some food as she spoke.
"Next time, remember to brush your teeth. I don't want to taste another woman on your lips."
Watching how utterly composed she was, Lin Mo became certain of one thing—
She'd never been in a relationship before.
So how could she be so good at stirring his heart, wave after wave?
"Everything you're doing to me… who did you learn it from?" Lin Mo finally couldn't help asking.
"From reading books~"
"Books?"
Lin Mo was puzzled.
Did Teyvat even have books that taught people how to flirt?
"In the light novels from Yae Publishing House, scenes like this are everywhere~" Yae Miko replied as if it were obvious.
"You let stuff like that pass review?!"
Lin Mo froze.
Before the feeding even started, her fox tail had been anything but well-behaved!
It had nearly given him goosebumps all over!
"Well… that kind of scene really is pushing the limits," Yae Miko said, then shot him a meaningful smile.
"But—"
"I've also read plenty of light novels that were rejected for being far too explicit."
"I learned a looot of things from those~"
"Lord Saiguu… would you like to practice with your little fox?"
So that's it!!
The little fox from back then had been so well-behaved, practically obedient to a fault.
But now, Lin Mo was absolutely certain—
Yae Miko had turned out like this because she'd read way too many banned light novels and gotten corrupted!
This time, he didn't answer. Instead, he said indignantly,
"I think Ei needs to step in and clean up Yae Publishing House. Those vulgar, decadent light novels have to go!"
"Why?"
Yae Miko covered her mouth in mock surprise.
"I thought you'd really enjoy this type of story~"
"I do enjoy them, but look at what they've turned you into!"
Lin Mo spoke earnestly.
"Miko, I remember—you used to be such a good, well-behaved fox."
"Hehe~ As long as Lord Saiguu likes it, that's all that matters~"
Yae Miko extracted exactly the answer she wanted.
"Even if Ei agreed to shut down Yae Publishing House, everything I've learned is already carved deep into my mind~"
"Learned? Learned what?"
Lin Mo was genuinely shocked.
What kind of skills could you possibly learn from novels?
"Skills that haven't been put into practice yet~"
"Lord Saiguu… would you like to practice them with me?"
As she spoke, those bewitching eyes locked straight onto him.
And most dangerously—
At that exact moment, Yae Miko picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks and took a gentle bite.
The scene struck with lethal precision.
