Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Wintergreen Mark or Belly Mark, Choose
"Yes, just like that. The look in your eyes is great, and your expression is spot on. You really understand, Kiana."
Ye Feng was very satisfied.
Lifting the hem of the skirt, the black stockings, the contrast of white through the silk, and the expression full of shame and anger—these rich and vivid expressions, along with the animated movements, were something no NPC could match.
But just as quickly as the skirt was lifted, not even as long as a breeze passed by, Kiana swiftly let it fall, her face darkening with anger. "Bastard! Making me do such embarrassing things, I won't let you off!"
"That's not true, you've upheld the honor of the Kaslana family."
"Of course. The people of the Kaslana family always keep their word!"
"Truly an excellent 'knight.'"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "You're such an innocent and good kid, I could trick you into going to bed ten times in one night."
"Trick me into going to bed?"
Kiana was a bit confused. She didn't need any tricks; she could fall asleep in class without any help.
Kiana let go of the small skirt, still puzzled by the sudden change of clothes, but she asked the question she was most concerned about.
"How do I leave this place?"
"That's your second question now."
Kiana's heart skipped a beat, and she crossed her arms, pretending to be tough. "What perverted request do you have now?"
"Just accompany me to the cafeteria for a meal."
"I knew you would—wait, a meal?"
"What else? What were you expecting, Kiana?"
"Nothing at all!!"
Kiana clenched her fists, shouting angrily.
"Let's go to the cafeteria then."
Ye Feng turned and led the way, but then he heard an "ouch" from behind him.
Kiana, wearing crystal high heels, had twisted her ankle.
"How careless you are."
Ye Feng brought up the status panel and selected "Normal" under "Physical Attributes."
The pain in Kiana's ankle disappeared immediately, and even the fatigue from dehydration vanished. She felt lighter than ever before, as if nothing was scary anymore.
Huh? This guy doesn't seem so bad after all.
Kiana muttered to herself, took off her high heels, and followed Ye Feng to the cafeteria barefoot.
The time was 12:13 PM, right during the peak of lunch.
But there were still plenty of empty seats.
Thanks to the headmaster's willingness to spend generously, the basic facilities at St. Freya Academy were among the best in all of Schicksal. Though, as a result, the academy ran a perpetual financial deficit.
"Take whatever you want to eat."
"Anything I want...?"
Kiana's mouth watered uncontrollably as she looked at the expensive cakes in the dessert section.
Even though she received a monthly allowance, it was only enough to cover basic living expenses.
She could splurge occasionally, but achieving cake freedom was impossible.
"But... is it really okay?"
She could take whatever she wanted from the school without paying for it.
No, they can't even see me, much less talk to me.
That guy also said this was a game world.
Thinking this, Kiana happily went to get her food.
Ye Feng followed her, and after they made a round through the cafeteria, they sat down at a table.
It was only then that Kiana realized Ye Feng hadn't taken anything.
"Aren't you eating?"
"There's food here."
Then, Kiana watched as Ye Feng casually took a bowl of green pepper stir-fried meat noodles from a nearby table.
The Valkyrie whose noodles had been taken continued to eat the air.
"..."
Kiana had overestimated Ye Feng's moral standards, as he vividly demonstrated what "take whatever you want" meant.
"Indeed, Friday's handmade noodles are the best, so chewy."
Kiana didn't want to continue the conversation on that note. Instead, she asked, "So, how do I leave this place?"
*Sigh~~*
Ye Feng sighed.
From the moment Kiana arrived, Ye Feng knew she would leave eventually.
This unspoken "clarity" was proof that he was gradually gaining control over this world.
But even so, he couldn't leave himself.
"What is it?"
Seeing Ye Feng sigh, Kiana felt a twinge of unease.
"Nothing. As for how to leave... you don't need to do anything special. At most, in three hours, or maybe even the next moment, you'll be out of here."
"Huh? Is it really that simple?"
Kiana felt a bit cheated.
She lowered her head and quietly enjoyed her food.
It tasted exactly like in the real world, and the layout of the academy was identical to her memories.
Kiana kept silent.
As she ate, she observed her surroundings, thinking about something.
She couldn't help but recall how Ye Feng had drawn a few strokes in the air earlier, and her body had changed unnaturally, even instantly changing clothes.
Since he said he could answer her questions, Kiana directly asked, "What did you do to me earlier? I know, tell me your request first."
"Not bad, you've quickly grasped the rules."
Ye Feng continued to reinforce Kiana's "understanding."
He then tapped the air, and two symbols appeared.
[Wintergreen Mark]: A design featuring intertwining vines or branches as the base, with three leaflets and one leaflet opposite each other along a wavy stem, with a cute pink heart in the center.
[Belly Mark]: A black straight line like a ruler, with markings for 5cm, 10cm, 20cm, and inscriptions like "waste" and "master" next to it...
"Choose one," Ye Feng said.
"Huh?"
"It's a mark, imprinted on your body, to see if it remains when you return to the real world."
"That's all?"
Kiana's lips curved into an ω shape.
Compared to the first request, this was nothing.
She had mentally prepared herself for all sorts of things.
Kiana was overjoyed inside. Just getting a mark and she could obtain such important information.
"No problem. I choose this one."
Without hesitation, Kiana chose the Wintergreen Mark, although she felt an inexplicable sense of unease. It was still quite pretty.
"Good choice."
Ye Feng raised his finger and lightly tapped, making Kiana feel a burning sensation in her lower abdomen, causing her to involuntarily bend over slightly and clamp her thighs together.
"Is... is that all?"
Kiana weakly asked.
She didn't know why, but something felt... off.
"Yes, perfect. When you get back to the real world, make sure to tell everyone it was a gift from Ye Feng."
"No way."
Kiana shook her head in refusal.
Ye Feng didn't mind. He manifested Kiana's attributes, presenting them in a light screen panel before her eyes.
"By manipulating these, I can change your physical state. For example, 'Changing Clothes.'"
Ye Feng swiped through the options one by one.
White stockings and swimsuits, little devil maid outfit, backless evening dress, JK uniform, shrine maiden outfit... and so on, all appeared on Kiana.
"Alright, stop!"
Dressed in a cheongsam, Kiana quickly stopped Ye Feng when she saw him about to scroll to "naked apron," "micro bikini," and "body paint."
Those looked terrible.
Kiana stared at her "little figure," her gaze falling on the other statuses. Her big blue eyes were full of curiosity.
"What do these 'Mouth: 13,' 'Chest: 12,' 'Legs: 55' mean?"
