The Vixen's Gambit: Tonight We Hunt

Spacing out? Yeah right!

Your "spacing out" gave me a whopping 5,000 energy points!

What did you think about in your head to give me so many points?

Were you planning to stab me?!

I just wanted to borrow some money, girl! Don't be so dramatic!

Lihua sighed, then gave a bashful smile. "Um, I wanted to borrow some money. I have so many patients now, my severance pay is running low. But if it's inconvenient--"

"Okay, how much do you need?" Kallen replied instantly, her smile bright.

"I'll try to figure something else out--huh? Kallen, you agreed?"

Lihua looked up in confusion. Just a moment ago, Kallen was about to stab her, but now she was agreeing?

"Of course I'll agree. I'll do anything you want, Lihua." Kallen's eyelashes curled up as she smiled, not a hint of darkness on her face. "Besides, you're saving people right now. Why wouldn't I help?"

"Kallen… You're the best!"

Lihua, overjoyed, jumped up and hugged Kallen. "With you here, it's like having 100 people!"

"Did you notice I'm better than Otto?" Kallen hugged Lihua back while sneaking a few sniffs at her neck.

Yup, Lihua's the best! Just a hug and my energy is full!

She, Kallen, wasn't a lesbian! She just happened to like Lihua who happened to be a woman!

"Yup, yup, my Kallen is the best~" Lihua happily rubbed herself against Kallen.

This large, white fluff ball was amazing to hug! And she was the second-biggest ATM, next to Otto. Lihua loved her!

"?"

Lihua, who was still hugging Kallen, was puzzled.

What was going on? Why did I get energy just from a hug?

Did Kallen not like being hugged? But she didn't seem bothered, since she was smiling so happily.

After thinking a bit, Lihua let go of Kallen slightly, then hugged her again.

[Energy +1000]

"???"

The energy went up again, and why was there a feeling of resentment around me?!

Holy crap, is this place haunted?

Was there some vengeful spirit who was cuckolded by a lesbian fox spirit, and now it's cursing girls who are hugging each other?!

Eww, that's creepy!

With those thoughts, Lihua let go, feeling awkward.

She wanted the 1000 energy, but she was also afraid of ghosts...

Meanwhile, a blond man hiding in the nearby bushes was fuming, the anger in his eyes almost burning the green wool hat on his head.

Kallen Kaslana, how dare you!

I haven't even hugged Lihua yet!!!

Don't think I don't know your plan just because you're a woman! You're so disgusting!

You're taking advantage of me not being able to approach Lihua directly, trying to dig into my corner!

I'm the one who met Lihua first, you fox spirit!

And you even made her say that she likes you more than me when she's asking you for help! You shameless person! How did such a scoundrel come out of the Kaslana family?!

You've destroyed my reputation that I've built for years!

I thought we were friends, but now, even if you were stabbed by a Honkai beast tomorrow, I wouldn't save you.

Just you wait, when I get rid of those old geezers, I'm going to deal with you!

[Energy +1000]

"Achoo!"

"Are you okay, Kallen? Did you get sick?" Lihua asked, confused when she saw Kallen suddenly sneeze.

Weren't idiots immune to colds? Did Kallen, a Kaslana, have such a thing as catching a cold?

That couldn't be true, right? Lihua knew her half-Kaslana blood was already enough to reduce her intelligence, Kallen's intelligence probably had to be even worse.

Besides, she was Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie. Her body was stronger than even a Honkai beast.

"It's nothing, maybe someone's talking about me."

Kallen was also puzzled. Her body was extremely healthy. Why did she suddenly feel so cold?

Oh well, it's probably someone being mad at me for no reason~

More importantly than some random stranger was...

"Lihua, you said you would 'repay' me, right?"

Kallen's eyes were fixed on Lihua. "How are you planning to repay me?"

Oh, wow, Kallen, aren't you supposed to be a selfless saint? Why are you actually expecting me to repay you?

Looking at Kallen, who practically had "Pay me back!" written all over her face, Lihua was speechless.

She did say those words, so she had to live up to them. Besides, there was no way Kallen would come up with something crazy.

"Okay, is there anything you want me to do? You can ask me anything."

"Then, then..."

Kallen stammered, her pretty face turning as red as a balloon. "Can, can, you, you..."

"You?"

Lihua's head was filled with question marks again. Hadn't Kallen already been straightened out by Otto and said goodbye to lesbianism?

Was there a problem with…

"Take me to the city… personally…"

Oh my god, with that pause.

"Of course."

Lihua nodded speechlessly. She had wasted so much time preparing for that?

She was waiting for Kallen to make a big request, but this was all that she had?

You're wasting my emotions.

At the same time, Kallen wanted to slam her head on the ground in shame.

Damn it, I couldn't say it! I practiced so many times at home!!

She had wasted a golden opportunity. She hated herself!

[Energy +900]

?

Lihua was speechless at the system's rollercoaster.

What was going on today? It was a strange energy free-for-all.

Whatever, even if that energy was from the Archibishop Nicholas himself, she wouldn't mind. As long as it benefited her in the end...
