Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Ningguang Keeps Her Word

The request Jiang Yun made to Ningguang was simple: wear a collar with a leash attached and crawl for one hour! Even after agreeing to such a request, Ningguang maintained the dignity befitting the Tianquan.

Her red eyes were cold, her expression stern, and she tilted her head back slightly, exposing her snowy, delicate neck completely to Jiang Yun. Holding the collar and leash, Jiang Yun walked toward her with a wicked grin.

He didn't miss the chance to tease her. "Lady Ningguang, you are the Tianquan of Liyue, the most prestigious of the Qixing. Why do you look like a lamb led to the slaughter?"

"Stop talking. If you want to do something, get on with it!" Ningguang's expression was haughty.

But that haughtiness didn't last long. When the leather collar slowly touched her snowy neck, a blush crept over her face, and her tall frame began to shiver. Seeing this, Jiang Yun slowed his movements further. His fingers intentionally brushed against her fair, smooth neck, savoring the delicate softness.

"Lady Ningguang's skin is truly well-maintained..."

"You...!"

Ningguang could tell he was slowing down on purpose to see her embarrassment. But her years of business intuition told her that the more he did this, the less she should satisfy him, or it would only make him more arrogant. She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

But as she breathed, Jiang Yun, standing close to her, felt another soft and impressive presence. Ningguang's "proportions" were not to be underestimated! Unlike Keqing's firm perkiness or Ganyu's surging waves, Ningguang possessed a mature, regal aura.

Why does she feel like this? Perhaps it was the gold-silk qipao, her unique aura of authority, or something else entirely. Regardless, with every breath she took, Jiang Yun's chest could clearly feel it.

He grinned. "Lady Ningguang, you're too kind! Giving my chest a massage personally? There's really no need; I'm not as nervous as you are..."

Ningguang's deep breathing stopped abruptly! Even with all she had seen in her life, she was momentarily at a loss. Without the deep breathing, she couldn't stay calm under Jiang Yun's teasing; with it, she was just giving him more ammunition.

After thinking it over, she decided to change tactics to distract herself. Her red eyes roamed for a moment before meeting his black ones again.

"Jiang Yun, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Lady Ningguang certainly does love her questions! Fine, I'm in a good mood. Ask whatever you like."

"When I questioned you before, did I offend you somehow? Are you holding a grudge?"

"Of course not! Lady Ningguang is so elegant and graceful, I can barely appreciate you enough. How could I hold a grudge?"

"Then why are you treating me like this?"

"Want the answer?"

Ningguang nodded, but then a muffled groan escaped her lips! Jiang Yun had yanked the leash, pulling the white-haired beauty's head toward him.

"You have to kneel first, then I'll tell you. After all, the collar is on. According to the plan, you should start crawling..."

Ningguang's carefully distracted attention was instantly forced back to this shameful reality. Her face was a mask of humiliation, but she slowly lowered herself to the ground. To make it easier for her, Jiang Yun loosened the leash.

Finally, the Tianquan, Ningguang—who had never bowed to anyone—slowly bent her snowy legs before Jiang Yun until she was kneeling on the floor.

"Can you answer my question now?"

"Certainly! The answer is simple: because I want to treat you like this!"

"You!" Ningguang's face was full of shame and anger, but she suppressed her emotions and asked, "Why?"

"Before I answer, let me ask you a question, Lady Ningguang: do you think I am a good person or a bad person? No lying, or there will be a penalty!"

"A bad person!"

"Exactly!" Jiang Yun grinned. "Bad people do bad things. It's only natural. Why do I need a reason?"

"Why can't you just be a good person?"

"If I were a good person, I'd never get the chance to treat Lady Ningguang like this, would I?" Jiang Yun yanked the leash tight again, eliciting a pleasant groan from her. "Lady Ningguang, why aren't your hands on the ground yet? Don't think you can stall. If you don't crawl for the full hour, I'll add more time!"

Ningguang leaned forward, her slender hands touching the floor. Only then did she notice that the floor felt strange. She looked down; at some point, a layer of soft padding had appeared on the study floor.

It had been there when she knelt, but her attention had been so focused on her questions that she hadn't noticed. More importantly, she felt a distinct presence of Geo power in the padding. She had a Geo Vision herself, but she hadn't used it to create any padding. Could it be...

Ningguang snapped her head up to look at Jiang Yun. "You did this?"

"Of course. I couldn't actually let Lady Ningguang kneel on the hard floor and hurt her hands and knees, could I?"

"Hypocrite! If you really cared about my feelings, you wouldn't have asked for this in the first—ngh!"

Jiang Yun yanked the leash hard! "Lady Ningguang, you're talking too much. Why haven't you started crawling yet?"

"I..." Ningguang didn't dare say more. She began to crawl slowly across the study.

As she crawled, her impressive chest swayed under the gold-silk qipao, the graceful curve of her waist was perfectly outlined, and her rounded, firm backside trembled incessantly. The qipao was only long enough to cover a small portion of her legs, and in this position, that small bit of coverage was nearly gone.

Admiring the view, Jiang Yun thought to himself: If I weren't worried about pushing her to a point of no return, I really could have asked for something truly scandalous...

Then, he made a request to finish his task.

"As expected of Lady Ningguang. Even your crawling is beautiful. How about I lead you on a leash for an hour every day from now on?"

"Impossible! Our agreement is for today only. You said so yourself!"

[Ningguang, Reasonableness: 30]

Seeing the value, Jiang Yun was quite surprised. 30 points? I thought her acceptance of this would be near zero... but I suppose it makes sense. After all, she agreed to my request very quickly.

Can a bad man's word be trusted? Jiang Yun wanted to say that, but he was worried about truly enraging her. Instead, he reached out with a wicked grin and, through the smooth fabric of the qipao, gave her backside a firm slap!

The sharp sound echoed through the Jade Chamber!

Ningguang's body jolted, and her red eyes snapped back to him. "Jiang Yun, what are you doing?!"

"Don't be so dramatic, Lady Ningguang! Since this is a one-day-only deal and an hour is quite long, I need something to keep things interesting." Jiang Yun yanked the leash tight with a grin. "Besides, you were willing to agree to a request like this. What's a little slap in comparison?"

"Nngh!"

[Ningguang, Reasonableness: 35]
