Yun Yun was still trapped.
She tried not to think about it.
But how could she ignore it when his tail was curled around her thigh, idly flicking?
And worse, she was still on his lap, practically seated against his chest as Kaiser continued eating like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Yun Yun shifted slightly.
Maybe if she moved carefully, she could....
Kaiser's arms tightened around her waist.
Her entire body stiffened.
"Where do you think you're going?" Kaiser muttered, chewing on another dumpling.
Yun Yun glared. "I have my own seat."
Kaiser shrugged. "Not anymore."
Yun Yun's eye twitched.
She reached down to pry his tail off her thigh.
Bad idea.
The Tail Disaster
The moment her fingertips brushed his tail, Kaiser flinched violently.
His entire body tensed, his grip on her waist tightening.
"Oi—" Kaiser's voice hitched, his ears turning red.
Yun Yun paused.
Did… did she just discover something?
She narrowed her eyes and slowly ran her fingers along his tail again.
Kaiser shuddered as if a shockwave had run through his entire body.
Yun Yun smirked.
Oh.
Oh-ho-ho.
This was payback for everything he had put her through.
She gave his tail a light squeeze.
Kaiser squeaked.
Like actually squeaked.
Yun Yun stared.
Kaiser immediately covered his mouth.
The world went silent.
"…Did you just squeak?" Yun Yun asked, in complete disbelief.
Kaiser looked horrified.
"No."
"Yes, you did."
"No, I didn't."
Yun Yun's smirk grew.
"You totally did."
"Did not."
"You sounded like a mouse."
Kaiser sulked.
"Shut up and eat your chicken."
Before Yun Yun could continue her newfound mission of tail torture, the little cub suddenly jumped onto her lap.
It nuzzled against her chest, ignoring Kaiser entirely.
Kaiser scowled.
He was right there!
And yet, the cub still chose Yun Yun over him!
Kaiser, now jealous, did the pettiest thing possible.
He stole a piece of chicken from Yun Yun's plate.
Yun Yun froze.
Slowly, she turned her head. "Did you just—"
Kaiser stuffed it into his mouth.
She gasped.
Kaiser smirked.
It was on.
Yun Yun immediately grabbed the last dumpling on the table.
Kaiser's smirk vanished.
"That's mine."
Yun Yun took a slow, deliberate bite.
Kaiser glared.
The air grew tense.
Then, in one swift motion, Kaiser lunged forward, trying to grab her plate.
Yun Yun dodged, shoving an entire piece of chicken into her mouth.
The cub, seeing the chaos, grabbed a dumpling and ran away.
Kaiser stared in betrayal.
Even the cub?!
"You traitor," he muttered.
The cub ignored him and continued munching.
Yun Yun's Stomach Strikes Again
Just as Yun Yun was about to declare victory, her stomach growled loudly.
She froze.
Kaiser grinned.
"Hah! You still want more, don't you?"
Yun Yun, refusing to lose, crossed her arms. "I'm fine."
Another loud grumble.
Kaiser chuckled. "Liar."
Before Yun Yun could argue, Kaiser stood up, lifting her effortlessly.
"What—hey! Put me down!"
Kaiser ignored her. "I'll make more food."
Yun Yun grumbled.
She didn't want to admit it, but… she kind of liked being carried.
Just a little.
But she would never tell him that.
As Kaiser made his way toward the kitchen, the system beeped loudly.
[New Mission: Make Yun Yun Your Wife.]
Kaiser froze mid-step.
Yun Yun blinked. "What's wrong?"
[Mission Rewards: Super Saiyan form will be unlocked, Pill Manual, Alchemist Promotion, 2000 Gold, Advanced Skills Unlocked.]
Kaiser stared at the screen in horror.
Was the system… trying to get him killed?!
"Kaiser?" Yun Yun frowned. "Why are you standing like a statue?"
Kaiser snapped out of it.
"Oh! Uh… nothing."
Yun Yun narrowed her eyes.
She didn't believe him.
But she was still hungry.
So she let it slide.
For now.
By the time dinner was ready, Kaiser had cooked enough food to feed half the empire.
Yun Yun stared in disbelief.
"Are you feeding an army?"
Kaiser simply sat down and started eating.
Yun Yun watched in horror as he consumed plate after plate, bowls disappearing like magic.
The cub was munching on meat happily.
Meanwhile, Kaiser was single-handedly destroying an entire feast.
Yun Yun, deciding to ignore reality, grabbed another plate.
Then she spotted another new dish.
Some sort of golden-brown meat, glistening with honey and spices.
She hesitated.
But curiosity won again.
She picked up a piece.
Took a bite.
Yun Yun Loses Herself Again
Her entire body shivered.
The flavors exploded.
Her soul ascended.
Her mind went blank.
She clutched the plate like it was her new religion.
Kaiser, watching her expression, smirked.
"Good?"
Yun Yun didn't even respond.
She was too busy stuffing her face.
Kaiser chuckled.
"Guess that's a yes."
And Then…
Just when Yun Yun thought she could finally enjoy her meal in peace—
Kaiser's tail suddenly lifted her up again.
Before she could react, she was once again placed onto his lap.
Yun Yun froze.
Her face turned red.
Her brain malfunctioned.
Kaiser, acting innocent, continued eating.
"What? You were too far again."
Yun Yun grabbed the nearest spoon and smacked him on the head.
Kaiser yelped.
The cub cheered.
Chaos continued.
