“Actually… if it were someone else, it probably wouldn’t be a problem,” Yunwu replied.
“But…” Yunyu couldn’t finish her sentence.
Was there really a ‘but’ needed?
Going out to buy ingredients meant leaving the premises, and Seraphina certainly wouldn’t allow Felicia to go out.
If the two of them insisted on taking Felicia along…
Well, losing their jobs would be the lightest consequence. Though it probably wouldn’t cost them their heads.
“Alright…” Felicia could probably guess why the sisters were hesitating.
She might have been a bit too optimistic.
Yet, there was still a twist of fate.
At that moment, the subject of their discussion—Seraphina—made a dazzling entrance!
“?” Seeing the three gathered in the kitchen, Seraphina couldn’t deny her confusion.
She had only wanted to sneak in here to grab a bite. Why did she have to run into three people on the spot?
And forget Yunwu and Yunyu—what was Felicia doing here?
“What happened?” There were too many things she couldn’t figure out, so after thinking for a long time, all she could manage was that one phrase.
“Aren’t you supposed to be training? Why are you here?” Felicia was also stunned.
Why did Seraphina show up the moment she was mentioned?
Did she have some special ability like—called by name, instantly present?!
Seraphina’s face flushed.
If she honestly said she came to get something to eat, would they think she was a glutton?
…Though, honestly, Seraphina did eat quite a bit normally.
What should she say now? Asking for a friend, urgent!
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” Seraphina had a flash of inspiration. She threw the question back at Felicia to avoid an awkward outcome.
“Uh…”
Seraphina’s brainwave worked perfectly—now it was Felicia’s turn to be embarrassed.
Felicia couldn’t exactly say she came to eavesdrop on gossip, could she?
“Forget it. Let’s not dwell on that. What were you discussing?” Seraphina asked Yunwu.
“It’s like this…”
Setting aside Felicia’s eavesdropping, Yunwu explained the shortage of ingredients and Felicia’s wish to accompany them to buy supplies.
When Seraphina heard the latter part, she shot a glance at Felicia.
Felicia said nothing, just trembled in fear.
Family, what do I do when the psycho domineering girl is about to teach me a lesson?
Asking for help, urgent!
“Oh, Yunwu… you’ve really thrown me under the bus,” Felicia muttered under her breath.
“You all busy yourselves. I have something to take care of, so I’ll be off.” Seraphina grabbed Felicia and walked out.
“What’s this about?” Yunwu asked.
“No idea,” Yunyu replied.
“What do you know…” Yunwu massaged her forehead and went back to her room to sleep.
✩✩✩
Seraphina dragged Felicia all the way back to her room and set her down on the bed.
Finding herself back on the soft, large bed instead of being thrown straight into the dark room, Felicia felt a bit relieved.
But when she met Seraphina’s gaze and noticed the fleeting anger in her eyes, she knew she might be in deep trouble.
“Spill it. Why do you want to go out with Yunwu? Are you planning to run away?” Seraphina sat on a chair, staring straight at Felicia.
Felicia believed that if she nodded, she’d definitely end up in the dark room.
To avoid that fate, her brain began overclocking to the point where steam almost rose from her head.
A steam girl, indeed.
“…” Seeing this, Seraphina said nothing aloud, but inwardly she was quite shocked.
As expected of a dragon—truly different from humans.
“Well… actually, I just wanted to go out and take a look. Running away? No way,” Felicia knelt on the bed, her small hands clasped together, looking very nervous.
“Really?” Seraphina asked.
“Really, really!” Felicia nodded quickly.
“I don’t believe you.”
“…” Felicia was speechless.
If she could beat Seraphina, she would definitely unload a fierce attack.
If you don’t believe me, why ask?
Unfortunately, there was no ‘if’—Felicia couldn’t beat Seraphina, so she had to suppress her urge to retaliate.
“Ahem, have you ever heard of a condition called claustrophobia?” Felicia decided to make something up.
First, just fool Seraphina.
If she could trick Seraphina into letting her go out, even better.
“What’s that?” Seraphina had indeed never heard of it.
In fact, this concept didn’t exist in this other world.
“In simple terms, it’s when a person stays in one place for too long without going out for air, they go crazy. And when that happens, they become terrifying!”
“Like this—roar~”
As she said that, Felicia even made her hands into claws and performed a “dragon’s roar” for Seraphina.
“I don’t find it terrifying at all. It’s pretty cute, don’t you think?” Seraphina reached out and pinched Felicia’s cheek.
“…” Felicia was at a loss for words.
Seraphina didn’t seem intent on punishing Felicia, but she didn’t seem to be letting her off either.
So Felicia knelt on the bed, trembling in anxiety and unease, occasionally gathering courage to look up and see what Seraphina was doing.
All she could see was Seraphina apparently chatting with someone, but with whom, she had no idea.
“Mm, I understand.” Seraphina put away her phone.
“I’m sorry.”
“Huh?!” Felicia tilted her head, confused.
Why did Seraphina suddenly apologize to her?
Did that make scientific sense?
Oh, right—this was another world, apparently science didn’t apply here.
Then was it magical?
“At first, I thought you made up some illness to fool me. But I never expected such a disease to actually exist in the world,” Seraphina added.
Felicia: …
Actually, that had been her initial thought and plan.
But then she suddenly remembered that Seraphina had a doctor friend named Bai Ye.
Who knew if Seraphina would ask Bai Ye?
If Seraphina found out Felicia had fabricated an illness to deceive her…
The image was too horrific; the little dragon dared not imagine.
So Felicia immediately scrapped that idea.
Now it seemed Seraphina had just been consulting Bai Ye about whether such a disease existed.
Felicia was extremely grateful that her quick thinking had once again saved her from a potential disaster.
Yeah, that’s me!
Felicia’s heart swelled with pride at her own cleverness.
“Alright then. In a couple of days, you can go out with Yunwu and the others. Consider it a chance to see the outside world,” Seraphina said.
“Yeah!” Felicia almost jumped up in excitement.
“But don’t try to run away, okay? Otherwise…” Seraphina smiled.
“Mm-hmm, I understand!” Felicia nodded eagerly.
