If you don’t obey, sister…

Initially, no one was willing to step forward.

But Ping Chengcheng casually tossed out a few more taunts.

For some reason, Ping Chengcheng’s taunts seemed to be incredibly effective. In an instant, they all charged toward the girl.

Ping Chengcheng merely gave a faint smile, and less than a second later, they were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

The girl turned her back on the pile of bodies without any expression, saying, “You aren’t familiar enough with your exoskeletons. Remember to practice more.”

“From now on, this operation we’ll call you the Special Operations Squad. Remember to choose a leader.”

After she said that, Ping Chengcheng turned around to face Song Ning, her icy expression melting.

At that moment, she was like a simple, giggling little girl as she skipped and hopped over to Song Ning.

“Sister~” Her voice was so soft and sweet, it was unbelievable!

Ye Fan, still lying on the ground, reached out his hand toward Ping Chengcheng, unwilling to accept his defeat.

Did he not even merit being remembered by name?

Ye Yin was numb. He chuckled twice and shook his head.

‘So that’s why Lu Linyuan let this girl control the operation… It seems her secrets run far deeper than I imagined.’

Back at the house, Ping Chengcheng grabbed Song Ning’s hand and pulled her toward the master bedroom upstairs.

Song Ning followed the girl passively.

‘What did Ping Chengcheng want her to do, being in such a hurry? Could it be something bad again? What should she do?’

Alarm bells were ringing in Song Ning’s mind as she began to consider her options. Although she didn’t know why, the girl’s body exerted a strange attraction on her. But that was no reason to let herself fall again!

She absolutely couldn’t do those things with the girl again. Absolutely not!

“Chengcheng, what are you going to do?”

The girl paused, turning her head to reveal her cute profile. Her black, smooth, shoulder-length hair swayed twice. “What am I going to do? What do you mean, Sister…”

“Of course… umm~ to punish Sister~”

Punish!?

Song Ning was confused, her eyes filled with doubt. “Chengcheng, what are you talking about? Punish me?”

What had she done? Why was she being punished?

“Sister~ when we were at the city wall earlier, what did you do? Have you forgotten?”

What had Song Ning done?

For a moment, Song Ning seriously racked her brain, thinking she had done something bad. But after thinking for a long time, it seemed she hadn’t done anything at all!

“Chengcheng, what are you talking about?”

Ping Chengcheng’s red eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth tilted into an odd curve. “Sister, when I was talking, you kept looking at a girl. That’s terrible, Sister. Why were you looking at her?”

“Sister, that girl seems to be Ling Feng, the leader of the Collection Team. What’s your relationship with her… I remember a while ago, you were sent home by her and some other girl.”

Song Ning opened her mouth in surprise. Her surprise came only from how strange the girl’s thought process was.

“I just glanced over there. What does that have to do with being punished?”

Ping Chengcheng turned around to face Song Ning directly, her smile becoming even more frightening. “But Sister… I’m not happy. Sister… you’re not allowed to look at them…”

“Compared to them, who does Sister like more, Sister?”

Cold sweat was already trickling down Song Ning’s back. She hesitantly took a step backward, but Ping Chengcheng eyed the retreating foot with curiosity, then lunged forward without warning, pressing close to the girl!

Thud! The muffled sound of impact echoed as her back hit the wall!

“Huff, huff.” That was Song Ning’s heavy breathing. Her pupils shrank to pinpricks.

The girl had pinned her against the wall at the corner of the stairwell.

The girl’s eyes were dazed as she stared obsessively into the girl’s beautiful eyes.

“Sister’s eyes are so pretty, like they’re magical…”

“Sister…”

If those beautiful eyes are looking at other girls, I’ll get jealous, Sister~”

“If I ever see it happen again… Sister’s eyes might just…”

Several tentacles writhed out from the girl’s back, clinging to the girl’s cheeks. The slippery sensation made the girl break out in a cold sweat all over.

‘What’s going on!? What new change has occurred in Ping Chengcheng? Why would she suddenly say such terrifying threats!?’

What should Song Ning do?

The words were just a way for the girl to scare Song Ning. She couldn’t bear to hurt Sister. She just wanted to make her more obedient, as this approach was more effective.

“Sister, be good, okay? Sister belongs to me alone~”

Her smile grew even brighter as rough, vine-like tentacles gently caressed the girl’s elegant jawline.

“Sister, what’s your relationship with that girl?”

Song Ning carefully glanced at the tentacles near her cheek, calming herself. After her heartbeat gradually slowed down, she managed to speak. “It’s… it was just a coincidence that I met her. Chengcheng… don’t worry so much. That night, her sister was attacked by some criminals, and I happened to save her, which is how I met her.”

“As for her escorting me home, the reason was that she was afraid that because I had offended those criminals, I might be targeted by their organization on the way home, so she followed me to protect me.”

“Is that so?”

Ping Chengcheng hummed softly, the blood-red color fading from her eyes. She stood up, no longer pinning Song Ning against the wall.

“Hehe~ In that case, I won’t punish Sister then~”

Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief, patted the back of her clothes, and brushed off the dust from the wall.

But then the girl suddenly leaned closer to her, playfully pinching her chin with her small, soft hand. She stood on tiptoe and gave her a fleeting, butterfly-light kiss.

Immediately afterward, the girl half-covered her face, giggled, and ran downstairs.

“Sister, go back to your room first. I’ll go prepare dinner~”

It was already five in the afternoon. Wu Sheng, who had just witnessed the intimate exchange between the girl and Song Ning at the stairwell, had already gotten used to things and stood outside the villa by himself.

After a while, he smelled the aroma of food, along with a faint scent of stewed meat.

“Hiss…”

He couldn’t help but make a dog-like sound, followed by several loud slurps. ‘What a delicious smell! He wanted to eat meat too!’

He knew it was impossible…

It was definitely something Ping Chengcheng made especially for Song Ning! ‘How envious he was of Song Ning…’

…

He couldn’t help but let his thoughts run wild. Wu Sheng knew that the girl’s feelings for Song Ning had reached almost a perverse degree!

But according to Wu Sheng’s way of thinking…

It’s the apocalypse! It’s good enough just to be alive. Besides, listening to Ping Chengcheng meant he could live well. His quality of life was now second to none, and few people in the base could compare to him.

If Ping Chengcheng liked him…

Hehehe~ Just imagining it made him excited. He could eat delicious food every day!

He shook his head violently, banishing the thoughts from his mind. ‘What was he thinking?’

Wu Sheng didn’t have any of those kinds of feelings for Ping Chengcheng. The thoughts he had just had were purely motivated by his yearning for delicious food.
