After the carriage entered the castle gates, Liu Feng got out of the carriage and stepped down. Before both of his feet touched the ground, someone pounced towards him. Since his danger sense ability didnât give him a warning, Liu Feng knew that there was no danger and caught the person who had pounced toward him, and soon realized who the person was.
âWelcome home, Young Master.â Anriâs said in a soft voice as she buried herself in Liu Fengâs embrace, her fox ears twitching and her fox tail wagging.
âMhmm! Iâm back!â Liu Feng nodded and stroked Anriâs head. Now that Iâm comparing our heights, I finally learned that Anri only reaches up to my chest. This foxgirl is too petite, having the body figure of a 13-year-old loli. If I hug and carry her⦠cough coughâ¦
âYoung Master, Iâve gotten ugly.â Anri tightly hugged Liu Fengâs waist, pressing her face onto Liu Fengâs chest, even though it was a bit hard for her to breath. âWill you hate me?â
âGotten ugly?â Liu Feng froze for a second. Itâs only been a few days. Her genes mutated and she grew crooked? âCough cough cough.â Liu Feng shook off his wild thoughts, gently pinched Anriâs fox, and smiled lightly. âHow ugly did you get? Come on, let me see.â
âYou canât laugh at me,â Anri said softly. âYou have to promise.â
âOkay! I promise not to laugh at you,â Liu Feng said with the corners of his mouth slightly raising. Something interesting is already happening the moment I come home. How nice. It feels like Iâve only been away for 5 hours instead of 5 days.
âThen, then⦠here! Look!â Anri left Liu Fengâs embrace, took a step back with her head down, then suddenly raised her head.
What was shown was a small white face covered with wheat flour blinking innocently, and some flour fell off her cheek.
âPfft~ hahahahaâ¦â Mina burst out in laughter, and Anri turned to look. She saw Mina standing on the carriage and pointing at her, laughing so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes.
âHahahaha⦠are you cosplaying⦠a clown?â Tess also burst out in laughter. She hugged Mina, and they continued to laugh together.
ââ¦â Liu Fengâs lips trembled, trying to prevent himself from laughing. His face became a bit red from trying to hold it in. He slowly turned his head away, his shoulders shaking a few timesâ¦
âYou- you guysâ¦â Anri stiffened her face and pouted. âYoung Master, you laughed, didnât you?â
âNo, no⦠cough cough cough⦠didnât laugh!â Liu Feng hurriedly turned his head away, wiping the corner of his eyes with his thumb. Looking at Anri again, he forcibly tried to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
Anri squinted her brown eyes and scanned Liu Fengâs face, causing more flour to fall off her face.
âHahahahaâ¦â Mina, who had just stopped laughing, burst out into laughter again. âItâs too funny⦠I canât, my stomach hurts from laughing.â
âDamn it, you mutated catgirl, wonât donât you die from laughing!â Anri shouted angrily.
âHahahaha⦠Anri, your welcome is so special.â Mina sat on the wagon, unable to move. She wiped her tears with one hand and covered her stomach with the other. She had lost her strength from laughing.
âHahahahaâ¦â Tess was shaking from laughter. When seeing some of the flour on Anriâs face fall down from time to time, she almost passed out from laughter.
âYou, youâ¦â Anri looked at Tess, her eyes widening and her jaws dropping. There was only one thing left on her mind, and that was Tessâs huge breasts.
âSo big⦠bigger than Minaâs.â Anri looked at Tessâs cow horns and pouted. She glanced at her own breasts, and said jealously, âHmph! Big cows really are big cows⦠The rumors were real!â
The corners of Minaâs mouth rose. She knew that Anri was jealous.
Anri pouted and looked at Liu Feng as if she had been wronged. âYoung Master, look, they laughed at me.â
âIâll spank them later,â Liu Feng responded, smiling lightly. He put his hands on Anriâs face, slowly removing the flour from her face.
âNo, spanking is bad,â Anri refused. Spanking is a reward, not a punishment.
âWhat gave you the idea to put flour on your face? Who taught you?â Liu Feng laughed. This reminds me of one of the four evil Asian arts on Earth- makeup.
âThe last time young master gave a lecture to the War Wolf Special Squad, I heard that a person can smear their face with powder and become many times prettier,â Anri answered, tilting her head, puzzled. âDid I get the method wrong?â
âUhâ¦â¦â Liu Feng was speechless. He remembered that he had given a lecture on camouflage techniques to the War Wolves Squad. So it was my fault. âEh, not really. You just used the wrong stuff.â
After removing as much flour as he could, and looking at Anriâs powdery face, Liu Feng saw the pimple on her cheek and immediately understood what was going on.
âThen what should I use?â Anri shook her cheek that had the pimple. I just think it looks ugly.
âYouâre already beautiful without using that kind of stuff, so using it will just make you ugly.â Liu Feng said, pinching Anriâs face. âYouâre pretty now. Growing a pimple just means that youâre still young and growing your body.â
âReally?â Anriâs eyes widened. âIs it really not ugly? But itâs so ugly to have little pouches on your face.â
âIt will disappear on its own in a day or two.â Liu Feng comforted. âYou havenât slept well lately, so maybe itâll be gone when you wake up tomorrow.â
âPhewâ¦â Anri took a long breath and patted her chest. âThatâs good.â
In this world, if a girl had a pimple on her face, especially noble girls, she would hide in her room and wait for the pimple to go away before she would leave the room.
âQuickly go and wash your face.â Liu Feng said, stroking Anriâs head.
âMhmm!â Anri smiled happily, but her face soon darkened as she walked away and glanced at Tess, thinking that life wasnât going to be easy.
âLetâs go! It just so happens to be lunchtime,â Liu Feng led the way to the dining room. Nicole probably has already prepared lunch.
Sure enough, Liu Feng could see Nicoleâs busy figure the moment he entered the dining room. Seeing that, his heart hurt a little. It was obvious that Nicole was the type of person who would support other people silently.
Hearing the footsteps, Nicole turned around, and seeing Liu Feng, she smiled, and her eyes were filled with joy. In a gentle voice, she said, âWelcome home. Just in time for lunch.â
âItâs been hard on you!â Liu Feng said, stroking Nicoleâs head.
âNo, Anriâs the one who had it hard. She didnât get to sleep well these past few days,â Nicole said softly.
âIs it because of those merchants?â Liu Feng asked, raising his eyebrows as he thought of the merchants outside the castle. âAre they asking to open a store or complaining there arenât enough goods?â
