Chapter 112: I Said This Is a Misunderstanding—Do You Believe Me?

How to Learn the Skill of the Sapping Kiss?

Tang Yi had pondered the key points of mastering this skill himself and had also consulted with Li Yaowen. The difficulty was truly not great, because thanks to the Enchanting Voice, Lalulas was already fairly adept at gathering fairy-type energy.

All Lalulas needed to do was to change the way the energy was transmitted, embedding the fairy energy within the kiss. The only real challenge lay in the amount of recovery it could provide.

But that was a matter for later; once the skill was mastered, the recovery amount could be gradually increased through practice and familiarity.

“Actually, you don’t really have to press your lips onto someone; just make the motion of a kiss. Since this skill transmits fairy energy through the mouth, you could even do a blown kiss instead,” Tang Yi patiently coached Lalulas.

“No, the skill book clearly says the closer the distance of the sapping kiss, the higher the chance of success. So you really have to press your lips on to guarantee it hits!” Lalulas’s bright eyes were wide open, her face full of the expression that said, “I’ve grown up, don’t lie to me.”

“Alright then, since elves are all female anyway, there’s really nothing to be shy about,” Tang Yi thought for a moment and changed his approach.

After all, they were both women. Imagining it even made him a bit excited, and his mind started wandering into improper thoughts. He quickly stopped himself—too wicked.

Lalulas frowned anxiously. “Can we just not learn this skill for now?”

Tang Yi sighed helplessly. “This is one of the easier skills to master. You heard Coach Li Yaowen say it last time, right? Your current weak points are physical strength and stamina. Using the sapping kiss can help make up for that a bit; otherwise, you’ll have a hard time facing stronger opponents.”

Lalulas nodded in distress, fully understanding the reasoning.

Knowing Lalulas was still too embarrassed, Tang Yi decided to compromise. “Okay, we won’t train the sapping kiss outside for now. We’ll just practice it at home.”

Lalulas considered this and found it acceptable. Doing kiss motions in public was too embarrassing. But then she thought again, something still felt off.

She turned her head away from Tang Yi. “What about you?”

Tang Yi looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Lalulas stammered, “If I’m practicing this skill in this room, where will you go?”

Tang Yi laughed. “This is my room. If I don’t stay here, where else can I go? Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you. And you can even imagine me as a training partner to practice on. After all, you can’t just use the sapping kiss on thin air during a match.”

Lalulas glared at him, furious but silent. “You’ve got a dirty mind!”

“Cough, cough! Just joking. I’ll go to your room and wait there.”

Tang Yi magnanimously gave Lalulas his larger room, mainly because his room had a computer, which would be handy for her to look up things she was hesitant to ask him directly.

Since it was nighttime and his parents were watching TV in the living room, the only place Tang Yi could go was Lalulas’s small bedroom.

Lalulas’s small bedroom was converted from a storage room. It wasn’t large—a bed just over a meter long took up most of the space.

Opposite the bed was a small desk barely big enough for a child to use, with suitcases and miscellaneous items stored beside it.

Tang Yi had originally intended to move those items elsewhere, but the house was too small, and Lalulas had said it was fine to leave them there, so he let it be.

Since Lalulas was a baby, out of respect, Tang Yi had rarely entered her room. His parents followed suit, always knocking before calling her out.

The bedroom had no windows; after turning on the light, it still felt dim. Tang Yi looked around; it was still the same as the old storage room, with yellowing walls and large patches of peeling paint.

Old houses were like that, and his family couldn’t afford a new one.

But what stood out was how clean and tidy the room was. The clutter in the corners, the desk, everything was neat and orderly.

Tang Yi sniffed the air and detected a faint fragrance. He didn’t recall buying Lalulas any perfume. Looking closely, he smiled—it was a bottle of Six God Floral Water on the desk.

Not long ago, Lalulas had suddenly asked him for floral water. Tang Yi found it odd since it wasn’t summer yet and there were no mosquitoes.

After smiling, Tang Yi felt a subtle, indescribable warmth in his heart.

He hadn’t expected Lalulas to suddenly take an interest in perfume-like things. After all, Tang Yi was still essentially a bachelor.

Lalulas didn’t order anything online secretly, nor did she bring it up with him voluntarily. Tang Yi guessed the reason was simple—it was too expensive.

Perfumes easily cost hundreds of yuan, while floral water was cheap.

What a good girl!

Tang Yi placed the review books he had brought onto the desk. The room was too small for a chair; sitting on the bed by the desk was enough.

Though he was there to continue studying, Tang Yi suddenly found himself more curious about Lalulas’s room.

He touched the bedding; it was somewhat thick. Since the temperature was rising, maybe next time he could suggest a lighter blanket.

For a girl’s room, it was a bit plain.

Even if he didn’t buy perfume, he could get some stuffed toys or other small things. He didn’t need to ask Lalulas first; he decided to do it and explain later. He wouldn’t buy anything too expensive anyway.

In the corner of the bed, neatly folded, was a set of pajamas.

Tang Yi picked it up and examined it. The size was very small; it was definitely for Lalulas herself.

In this world, fairy girls naturally had energy-formed skin that resembled clothing, so they usually didn’t need to wear clothes.

However, there were still many clothes designed for fairy girls, especially for autumn and winter, or in colder places. Even fairy girls needed extra warm clothing.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi’s expression gradually turned odd.

It seemed Lalulas had never changed clothes in front of him before.

But these pajamas clearly weren’t just decorations. Tang Yi held the garment up to his nose and smelled it. There was a hint of laundry detergent scent.

Tang Yi nearly guessed correctly—the girl must have quietly washed her clothes herself when he wasn’t around.

Yet, mixed with the detergent was a faint natural scent, quite pleasant.

“About the sapping kiss skill, I’ve been thinking…”

At that moment, the door opened. Lalulas walked in holding the skill book, her mouth slightly agape in surprise. She stared dumbfoundedly at someone sniffing her pajamas, her unfinished sentence dying on her lips.

Tang Yi looked down at the pajamas still under his nose. He froze for a moment, then regrouped and said, “Uh, do you believe me if I say this is a misunderstanding?”

Yeah right!

Bang!

The door slammed shut, leaving only Lalulas’s low, angry grunt: “Pervert!”

Tang Yi quickly put down the pajamas and hurried after her. Passing by the living room, his father, still watching TV, asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Did you upset Lalulas?”

“No, we just had a small disagreement about the training plan. I’m going to sort it out.”

“Oh, don’t bully Lalulas.”

Tang Yi hurried back to his own room, locking the door to avoid further misunderstandings. When he turned back, he saw Lalulas with her arms crossed, shyly and pitifully asking, “W-what are you going to do?”

Tang Yi quickly defended himself. “Don’t be like that, I won’t do anything.”

“Oh, then go.”

“Okay.” Tang Yi turned away. Then he thought, wait, I didn’t come here just to say that, so he turned back and stood by the door.

“You still want to do something,” Lalulas stated with certainty.

Tang Yi hurried to explain, “No, it’s not what you think. Listen to me first. I didn’t know you came in without knocking.”

“That’s my room! You never knock when you come in here!”

Lalulas started bringing up old grievances. Hmph, she had always been worried about some trainer suddenly appearing behind her while she was online—now she was finally getting some payback.

“Fine, you don’t have to knock, but it’s not like what you think. It’s all a misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding?”

“I was just curious about how you wear pajamas. Since you fairies have natural skin clothing, I was wondering if you take them off at night.”

The more Lalulas listened, the redder her face became. After a long moment, she spat out two words: “Pervert!”

“I’m a good person!”

“Get out!”

“Huh?”

“I want to be alone for a bit.”

“Who’s Jingjing?”

Lalulas glared.

Tang Yi carefully observed her expression. What struck him as odd was that although she was very embarrassed, she didn’t seem very angry or upset.

Tang Yi guessed it wasn’t the best time to explain and said, “Alright, I’ll go out first. Don’t think the wrong things. I’ll come back later.”

Returning to Lalulas’s room, this time Tang Yi was smarter and folded the pajamas neatly to the side.

He suspected Lalulas might be planning a surprise attack or something, so he didn’t provoke her. He sat quietly on the bed, flipping through his review materials, though not very attentively, his ears alert to any sounds outside the door.

Unfortunately, Lalulas didn’t come out again even past nine o’clock.

Glancing at the time, it was almost bedtime.

Tang Yi thought it wasn’t good to let the girl stew alone in her room. Although it had been awkward when she caught him earlier, he believed he could explain everything clearly.

Before entering, Tang Yi pressed his ear to the door and heard no sounds. He knocked, and soon a clear voice answered, “Come in.”

Pushing the door open, Tang Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sight of Lalulas sitting upright with a serious expression, as if waiting for him to come and have a proper talk.

“Well then, do you want to say something?” he asked.

Grinning mischievously.
