Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 115 Honey Trap?
"Pah, who misses you? Stop patting yourself on the back!"

Ma Xiaotao instantly bristled, her cheeks flushing red as she tried to hide her embarrassment.

She took a vicious bite of the fish and mumbled, "I was just being a senior student, concerned about your studies, afraid you'd go astray."

Zhang Lexuan watched the two bickering and couldn't stop smiling.

Even this usually quiet little home seemed much more lively now.

Zhang Lexuan quietly added some food to Dai Yuntian's bowl and said softly, "Yuntian, don't just talk, eat more. Xiaotao is just concerned about you. She was saying yesterday that you haven't been to her place to 'suppress evil fire' in a long time."

"Oh dear! Sister Lexuan, why are you taking his side too?"

Ma Xiaotao gave a coquettish laugh, her face turning even redder. In her embarrassment and annoyance, she secretly stretched out her beautiful foot, clad in white stockings, from under the table and gently kicked Dai Yuntian.

However, Dai Yuntian reacted extremely quickly.

He precisely caught the mischievous little foot with his left hand before it could retract.

The feel is nice; it's small, soft, and warm. Through the silky sock material, you can clearly feel the slenderness of your ankle and the elasticity of your skin.

Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened, clearly not expecting him to do this. She glared at him fiercely, conveying a threat with her eyes: "Let go!"

"You dare to stare at me?"

Instead of letting go, Dai Yuntian curled up a wicked smile and quietly slid his free right hand fingers down to tickle the sole of the bound white silk foot.

"Well……"

A strong itch swept over her, and Ma Xiaotao shuddered, almost bursting out laughing. She bit her lip tightly, trying to remain calm.

"Xiaotao, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Zhang Lexuan asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing! Maybe...maybe the soup was a little hot!"

Ma Xiaotao hurriedly made up an excuse, while glaring at Dai Yuntian with murderous eyes and silently threatening with her mouth: "Try scratching me again!"

Seeing that she still refused to give in, Dai Yuntian became playful and, instead of stopping, increased the speed and intensity of his scratching.

"Um……"

Ma Xiaotao was truly at her wit's end. Her toes curled up tightly from the itch, and her entire little foot tensed up.

She was so itchy she almost curled up, so she looked at Dai Yuntian with pitiful, pleading eyes, silently begging for mercy.

Dai Yuntian smiled slightly before letting go of her hand.

Ma Xiaotao felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly pulled her foot back.

But as soon as she put her feet down, she suddenly felt a chill on her leg.

Ma Xiaotao subconsciously looked down and discovered that the white stocking on her left leg had vanished!
She glared angrily at Dai Yuntian, her eyes questioning, as if to say, "Where are my stockings? Where did you put them?"

Dai Yuntian acted as if nothing had happened, casually pulling his hand back under the table and quickly stuffing the white stockings, still warm from his body and faintly fragrant, into his pocket.

Then I started to concentrate on eating.

Ma Xiaotao was so angry at his shameless act of "pretending to be stupid" that she gritted her teeth. However, she couldn't do anything because Zhang Lexuan was present. She could only grit her teeth in secret and make a mental note of Dai Yuntian's actions.

"Dai! Xiao! Yun! Tian! You just wait! This isn't over!"

The meal ended in a subtle atmosphere: Ma Xiaotao was both embarrassed and annoyed, Dai Yuntian was smug, and Zhang Lexuan saw through it but didn't say anything.

After cleaning up the dishes.

Zhang Lexuan wiped her hands, glanced at the dark night outside the window, and then looked at Ma Xiaotao, whose cheeks were still flushed and who was occasionally stealing a glance at Dai Yuntian. She understood what was going on.

She smiled gently and said to Dai Yuntian, "Yuntian, it's getting late, you should go back too. Why don't you see Xiaotao off? I'm worried about her going back alone."

These words were spoken subtly, but the three knew perfectly well that the "gift" was a pretense, and the real intention was to "suppress the evil fire."

Ma Xiaotao's internal fire problem is getting worse, and only Dai Yuntian's unique martial soul is the most effective and side-effect-free "antidote".

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's face burned even hotter, but she didn't object. She just awkwardly turned her head and snorted, which was taken as her tacit agreement.

Dai Yuntian naturally understood Zhang Lexuan's intention and nodded: "Okay, Sister Lexuan, then we'll be going now. Thank you for dinner tonight, it was delicious."

"Come often if you like it."

Zhang Lexuan saw the two to the door, her gaze lingering on Dai Yuntian's face for a moment, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness and... perhaps also a complex emotion that she herself hadn't delved into.

Leaving Zhang Lexuan's elegant courtyard, a cool night breeze blew.

Ma Xiaotao seemed to have sobered up a bit, but when she thought about how she had been "bullied" under the table and even had her stockings "stolen," her anger flared up again.

"Hey, Xiao Yuntian!" Ma Xiaotao took two quick steps, blocking Dai Yuntian's path, hands on her hips, trying to look fierce, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and give me back my stockings?"

Under the moonlight, her puffed-up face looked less shrewish than usual, and more charmingly naive.

Instead of returning it, Dai Yuntian took out the soft white stockings from his pocket, deliberately brought them to his nose to smell, and revealed a playful smile:

"Sister Peach, it's cherry flavored, tastes good... But you want to go back? Sure, bring something in exchange."

"You're such a scoundrel! You little rascal! Those are mine, you know!"

Ma Xiaotao was so embarrassed by his bold move that she almost jumped up, her beautiful eyes wide open.

"I don't care, it's my spoils now anyway."

Dai Yuntian said matter-of-factly, "Or... you can beg me? If you beg me, I'll consider returning it to you."

"You wish! Even if I, Ma Xiaotao, die consumed by evil flames or jump off the Sea God Lake, I will never beg you!"

Ma Xiaotao was both embarrassed and angry.

However, due to emotional fluctuations.

The increasingly active evil fire within her was stirring restlessly, making her feel hot all over and her breathing quicken.

Dai Yuntian keenly sensed the change in Ma Xiaotao's condition, which was a sign that her evil fire was about to erupt.

Knowing he couldn't tease her any longer, he took the white stockings out of his pocket, handed them to her, and softened his tone:

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Here's your stocking back. Are you getting aroused again? Come on, let's go to your place first and I'll help you calm down."

Looking at the stockings she had lost and found, Ma Xiaotao glanced at Dai Yuntian's eyes, which held a mixture of teasing and concern. The embarrassment and annoyance in her heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by a strange warmth.

Instead of taking it, she tossed her head back and said in a pretentious manner, "Hmph, it's just a sock. I'll give it to you. Take it."

Seeing this, Dai Yuntian deliberately pushed his luck, pointing to the other stocking she was still wearing on her left leg, and said with a grin:
"One isn't enough. If you're going to give something away, give me this one too. It would be nice to have a pair."

"Pah! You filthy scoundrel, you wish! You're asking for it!"

Ma Xiaotao blushed instantly, and the little bit of goodwill she had just felt vanished in an instant. Embarrassed and annoyed, she raised her pink fist and punched him.

"Hey! A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

Dai Yuntian laughed and nimbly dodged to the side.

"I am a woman, not a gentleman!"

Ma Xiaotao wouldn't let it go and chased after him, ready to hit him again.

The two of them walked along the moonlit tree-lined path, one laughing and dodging, the other chasing and hitting in embarrassment and annoyance, their playful laughter breaking the tranquility of the night.

Ma Xiaotao chased after him for a few steps, but the evil fire within her was stirred by her emotions, causing her steps to falter and her breathing to become disordered.

Dai Yuntian supported her swaying body, the burning heat from his palms causing him to frown slightly.
"Stop fooling around, look at you, you can hardly contain your anger."

Ma Xiaotao leaned against him, feeling the reassuring coolness emanating from his clothes. Her struggles lessened considerably, but she still refused to back down: "It's...it's all your fault! You had to make me angry..."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

Dai Yuntian half-supported, half-embraced her as they walked towards her residence: "So now I'm making amends by being your 'human cooling device' for free, okay?"

"That's pretty much it..."

Ma Xiaotao muttered something under her breath, then finally quieted down and let him help her walk forward.

……

at the same time.

In a secluded little courtyard.

"Money! Lots! Lots! Are you crazy?! This is the brilliant idea you came up with after racking your brains all night?"

With a "smack," Xian Lin'er slammed a scroll with still-wet ink onto the mahogany desk, making the teacup on it jump.

Her beautiful face was now flushed with an incredulous blush of embarrassment, and her chest heaved slightly with anger.

At the top of the scroll, several large, elegant characters stood out: [Feasibility Plan for "Entrapping" the Genius Dai Yuntian (Top Secret)].

The first point in the main text of the plan clearly states:

[Best strategy: Using a honey trap...]
