"So, do you think you are the prey, or the hunter?"
Ei's hands tightened slightly, and Precious Baby beneath him immediately let out a soft moan.
"Let go, let go of me! If you have the guts, let's have a fair fight!"
Precious Baby's cheek was pressed against the sand by Ei, and the feeling of sand rubbing against his skin was truly uncomfortable.
As for why it turned out this way…
Just now, when Precious Baby saw Ei arrive at Yaoguang Shoal, he immediately had some inappropriate thoughts.
On one hand, there was the vow he had made long ago, and on the other hand, if Ei was followed by the Millelith, he could quickly take Ei hostage as a final resistance.
Having made up his mind, he seized the opportunity when Ei was standing there, seemingly in a daze, and immediately rushed forward with his axe.
Of course, he didn't actually intend to kill Ei; the axe was merely for intimidation. His true weapon was a small piece of anesthetic incense hidden on his person.
As long as he lit the incense when Ei wasn't paying attention, Ei would fall unconscious in a matter of moments.
At that point, no matter what he wanted to do to Ei, Ei would be completely unable to resist, only able to let him do as he pleased.
However, the imagination was beautiful, but reality was so cruel.
Precious Baby had just rushed out and hadn't even had time to make his move when he felt a sudden dizziness.
After that, he was pinned to the ground by Ei, unable to move.
"Don't struggle. A fair fight? Weren't you just trying to ambush me?"
Ei straddled Precious Baby, holding both of his wrists with just one hand.
It could be said that Precious Baby's attack just now was as ridiculous to him as a child rushing at him with an inflatable wooden stick.
There was no threat at all.
Although Ei often accidentally bumped into pretty girls for various reasons, it didn't mean his vigilance was completely gone.
No matter how beautiful the girl was, when she was rushing towards you with a big axe, you couldn't possibly have no reaction at all.
Therefore, Ei easily subdued Precious Baby; he had no room to resist whatsoever.
"Hmph…"
When Precious Baby realized that he couldn't break free from Ei's restraint no matter how he struggled, he simply snorted coldly and stopped moving.
He was clearly aware of his current predicament. Since he couldn't resist, he might as well conserve his strength and wait for an opportunity.
After all, he still had a small can of anesthetic incense on him. As long as he found an opportunity, he could completely counterattack the opponent.
"Hmm, that's right. Be good."
Stelle nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and patted Precious Baby's perky bottom.
"Eek! You, what are you doing!"
Precious Baby's body instantly trembled.
Her reaction greatly pleased Stelle, who almost couldn't resist doing it again.
Actually, thinking about it, she had always been gentle with the girls she faced before, never laying a heavy hand... at least, never actively doing so.
But Precious Baby was different. As a Treasure Hoarder, since she was defeated, she should accept her defeat, right?
As the victor, she should perhaps naturally reap some of the spoils of victory.
As she thought this, Stelle couldn't help but do it again.
"You! A scholar may be killed, but not humiliated!"
Precious Baby said, flushed with anger, though her small protest had no effect on Stelle at this moment.
"It's just a small punishment. You've been deceiving me for so many days."
Stelle's hand remained, but this time it was a gentle caress.
She was starting to understand Cloud Retainer's joy. No wonder she was always so excited whenever Stelle visited.
Precious Baby no longer cared about conserving strength and immediately began to struggle again.
She never expected Stelle not to tie her up and hand her over to the Millelith immediately, but instead to flirt with her here.
What she found even more unimaginable was that her own body was starting to feel a strange sensation.
She couldn't let this continue. At least, she couldn't let Stelle be so unrestrained.
"Resistance, resistance is futile, hehehe... Hmm?"
Just as Stelle was imitating a Soul Palace Elder, a small porcelain bottle suddenly rolled out from Precious Baby's body.
It seemed the bottle rolled out because Precious Baby was struggling too hard.
Stelle bent down curiously and picked up the porcelain bottle.
"What is this?"
Stelle held the porcelain bottle in front of Precious Baby and asked, somewhat curious.
"Th-this is... Hmph, why don't you open it and see?"
Seeing the porcelain bottle, Precious Baby's eyes instantly lit up, but she still pretended to be calm as she spoke to Stelle.
Clearly, this was her only reliance now. As long as Stelle, out of curiosity, opened the porcelain bottle and inhaled the intoxicating fragrance inside...
In a moment, Stelle would fall unconscious. Then, Precious Baby would definitely return all the humiliation she had suffered, and beat Stelle's backside until it was swollen!
Precious Baby thought with a sinister glint in her eyes, while also looking at Stelle with great anticipation.
Stelle indeed did not disappoint her. Under Precious Baby's gaze, Stelle used her thumb to open the bottle.
Upon seeing this, Precious Baby immediately held her breath, lest she inhale it herself.
A strange fragrance thus spread across the small beach.
"Hmm~ It smells quite nice. Is it some kind of perfumed cream?"
Stelle sniffed and slowly said.
It smelled like lilies, and there didn't seem to be anything else special about it.
However, after she finished speaking, she waited for Precious Baby's reply but received none, then she lowered her head in confusion.
Precious Baby was staring at her with wide eyes, not saying a word.
"Uh, why aren't you talking?"
Stelle tilted her head in confusion, then placed the porcelain bottle in front of Precious Baby.
"Isn't this yours?"
Precious Baby shook her head in horror, seemingly trying hard to avoid the small bottle.
However, being pinned down by Stelle, she couldn't move, so she couldn't successfully avoid it.
Finally, Precious Baby couldn't hold her breath any longer.
"Bao, Precious Baby!?"
Stelle looked at Precious Baby, who had rolled her eyes and completely fainted, feeling utterly bewildered.
What just happened...
"Forget it, I'll take you back first. It's better that you're unconscious, saves you from struggling."
Stelle helplessly got up, picked up Precious Baby, and hoisted her onto her shoulder.
However, after only two or three steps, her movements suddenly stopped.
Thinking about it carefully, there's no need to hand Precious Baby over to the Millelith right now... After all, she had been deceived for so long; it was only right to collect some interest.
"Right, I'll go collect some interest first."
Stelle nodded, then stroked Precious Baby's plump thigh, clad in white stockings, before her thoughts stirred and her figure vanished from the spot.
