Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1353 - 14: Punishment Game (Part 1)
City of the Heavens, Gongsun Mansion.
"I say, the head of the household," Shiyu Ling crosses his legs, smirking with ill intent, "the battle is over, the issues in the kingdom are solved, isn’t it time to deal with a certain matter that’s been promised for a long while?"
"Look at that expression, it’s one of agreement. I also think it’s time to handle the historical issues of the new member." Qin Qianbai emphasizes "new member" heavily.
Qiluo rarely shows an aggressive gaze: "Alandia has really deceived Gongsun Ce and everyone on this journey~~~ Now! Finally! It’s time to seek justice!"
The three wicked women each occupy one side of the square table, and the sinister aura emanating from them forms almost devilish phantoms in Gongsun Ce’s eyes. How terrifying, these three are definitely serious. The resentment from being deceived by the Dawn Star’s knight since stepping aboard will explode during the peaceful holiday, paying the knight back doubly!
The silver-haired female knight sits on a little stool opposite the three wicked women, seeming so isolated and helpless. Gongsun Ce stands behind Alandia, patting the knight’s shoulder with sympathy, his face so overwhelmed with sorrow that he loses control over his expressions, smiling almost maliciously and rampantly.
"Get ready, Alandia, the time for the punishment game has arrived!!!"
"Oh oh!" "Show her some color!" "Take her down!"
Under Gongsun Ce, the Heavenly Demon’s enthusiastic call, the three female demons let out their vile and treacherous howls. What a pathetic reality! This time, the punishment session is led by the head of the household itself, with the household now resembling a goblin and goblin’s evil lair, leaving not a single person to aid the misled Alandia!
"I get it. As an apology for deceiving everyone earlier, I’ll comply." Alandia takes a sip of red tea, unfazed, "What do you want me to do?"
"Hehehe... hehehehe... We four have devised a cruel and harsh punishment plan during this period, today’s experience will become an unforgettable imprint in your memory!"
Gongsun Ce flashes behind the three malicious women, raising a finger as he points at the knight while laughing cunningly.
"Listen up, Alandia! For the entire day, you’re the ’big sister who will do whatever she’s told’ from those strange works! Whatever requirement we four propose, you’ll gently comply just like the older female protagonist in certain special works!"
"Undisguised selfishness." "True nature exposed..." "Really gross." The girls whisper.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you?! Wasn’t this term agreed upon by you? Now you’re turning it on me?!"
"Get to it, no complaining." Qin Qianbai places a foot on the stool, displaying a kingly demeanor, using her breakfast spoon to point at Alandia, "Understand your situation, Miss Alandia!"
Alandia on the opposite side of the table has a subtle expression, she couldn’t help but chuckle: "I understand, I’m the ’big sister who will do whatever she hears’."
"She said it with a straight face!" "Amazing..." "What incredible spiritual power..."
The girls collectively suck in a breath, while Gongsun Ce postulates loudly: "You dare act calm! Do you know what kind of situation you’re in now!"
Alandia blinks: "Ce is my lover, you all are my family, friends, and comrades. I trust everyone will be considerate of my feelings and wouldn’t do anything to upset me, so I have no reason to fear or worry."
The Dawn Knight’s rightful words immediately deflate the villains who were eagerly flexing their muscles; the carefully built atmosphere by everyone dissipates in an instant, and in a blink, "Suave Lady in the Mountain Bandit Hideout" turns into "Good Knight Educating Naughty Children." Gongsun Ce stammers in anger: "You, you, you... you’re so right..."
"The leader of the bandits is ready to surrender, it’s so pathetic," says Qiluo.
"--But I’ll tell you, things are by no means as simple as you imagine!"
Gongsun Ce thumps the table, rallying with a very arrogant expression as he snaps his fingers, "Even a stop-on-time punishment game will give you a hard time, let’s start the program we’ve prepared for you. My lady!"
Qin Qianbai yanks open the wardrobe, pulling out a familiar-looking large plastic bag: "For this day, I specifically asked Captain Kardesia to provide us with the club’s untouched treasures..."
The four’s plans remained a secret from each other beforehand, with only Gongsun Ce aware of the overall situation. Shiyu Ling’s eyes lit up: "I knew you otakus would have good ideas. Is it the bunny girl again?"
"Haha, wrong." Qin Qianbai raises her head proudly, "Compared to this special uniform, the mere bunny girl costume is just a stepping-stone character from the first 30 episodes of a hot-blooded manga!"
The "uniform" in the large plastic bag is taken out by Qin Qianbai with both hands, its unique design immediately draws everyone’s attention. It’s a tight-fitting battle suit resembling Zero Island ninja attire, pure white clothing like a turbo-hacked high-cut swimsuit, barely covering the torso; the matching thin gloves and knee-length stockings are made from the same fabric, covering only up to the elbow and knee, leaving large areas of skin exposed even when fully worn.
"Wow wow wow wow..." Qiluo marvels.
If it’s only this level, someone as experienced as Qiluo wouldn’t make a sound. The real issue with this outfit lies in the material... it’s too fitted! Fitted to the extent that wearing it will cause big problems! To account for various aspects of wholesomeness, basic chest armor and skirt armor must be worn together. Yet in Qin Qianbai’s plastic bag... there is no matching armor!
Gongsun Ce flicks the tight outfit, smiling wickedly: "How is it, Dawn Knight? You can start begging for mercy now!"
Everyone eagerly watches the Dawn Knight, wanting to find signs of embarrassment, irritation, and other heart-pounding expressions on the knight’s face, hoping her face would flush beautifully. However, the reality is as harsh as the sharp edges of the divine armor, Alandia picks up the tight outfit as casually as she would a document.
Alandia strokes the fabric: "Do you want me to change here?"
Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai are stunned for a full five seconds before remembering to speak: "Ah, well... you can change in the room..."
Alandia nods: "Then I’ll change right now."
The Dawn Knight leisurely enters the room, the four stare in shock at her back, then upon the door closing, they huddle together hastily.
"I’m not the one to say this atmosphere is a bit off, right?" Shiyu Ling says, "She’s more composed than the ones inflicting punishment here, what’s going on? Who’s punishing whom really?"
"That Ninja Equipment is bold enough to make even me blush..." Qiluo guessed, "Did she use the Impermanence Skill to lock her facial expressions? To save face, she forcibly suppressed her emotions?"
Gongsun Ce suddenly remembered their interaction during the sparring session in the Country, and a terrible suspicion arose in his heart.
"Listen to me." Gongsun Ce’s voice trembled, "Alandia once said something to me, something like, ’Now that I’m your girlfriend, I’m happy to do all sorts of things with you.’ At the time, I thought she was indulging me, and I felt really happy. But now, thinking back, it seems to have a deeper meaning..."
Qin Qianbai was the first to react: "Does this mean her shyness standard... changes with her identity?!"
Alandia was a rigid and conservative lady, often reprimanding impolite behavior and actively correcting people’s actions and words, particularly uncomfortable with "crossing the line"... Everyone’s strategies revolved around this major premise, but now they found out that this premise was slightly off...
They understood Alandia as a "Knight," but now, the one changing clothes in the room was Alandia as "someone’s girlfriend"! Actions and words not permissible from a knight’s perspective were merely playful teasing from a girlfriend’s viewpoint... and playful teasing among lovers is "perfectly normal"!
"No, no, it can’t be?" Qiluo’s face turned pale, "I don’t believe it! There can’t be such a woman in the world!"
Just then, the tightly closed door opened, and a woman in pure white stepped out into the light!
Her steps were steady and confident, the heels of her boots tapping rhythmically on the wooden floor, her tight-fitting clothes hugging her body just as everyone imagined, leaving nothing to the imagination. She even took time to change her hairstyle, tying her silver hair into a long high ponytail that added a touch of sharpness to her calm aura. She walked forward with a smile, like a stunning beauty serving tea to a monarch, or like a disguised female ninja approaching her assassination target, just waiting for the moment to draw a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing.
"Is it beautiful?" Alandia lightly laughed.
The girls shrieked and scattered like birds, while Gongsun Ce sat on the ground, clutched his head in his hands, and shielded himself: "My love Alandia, why are you like this!"
Alandia was confused: "I changed clothes as Miss Qin suggested..."
"How can you wear a tight outfit and give off such a murderous aura?!" Gongsun Ce was aghast, "I thought you were going to decapitate me!"
"I mimicked the demeanor of a ninja." Alandia tugged at her ponytail, "I even changed my hairstyle to match, so it feels more like it."
Gongsun Ce’s eyes glazed over, and Alandia’s gesture tightened her clothing, making the pure white underneath hard to ignore.
"You, you... really... bare..."
"I remember in your favorite Ninja X series, the female ninjas also mostly don’t have—"
"You even know that I watch those?! How much have you looked through my eyes?!" Gongsun Ce wailed, "No, that’s not the point! Don’t you feel shy, wearing such revealing clothes? Such an outrageous outfit!"
Alandia put one hand on her waist, with rare confusion in her eyes.
"I don’t feel that way." She said, "Ce, you’re my lover."
Qin Qianbai slid down the wall bit by bit, sitting pale-faced in the corner.
"I, I’m not resigned." Qin Qianbai said weakly, "I actually, actually lost here... I, the Jade-faced Rashamon... I, the Wanhua Martial Artist... No way... Impossible... Guh—!"
"Qin Qianbai’s life points are down to 0!"
"What kind of punishment game is this? It’s like giving away my boyfriend!"
Gongsun Ce crawled to Alandia’s side, clinging to her leg and quietly sobbing.
"I’m so happy... boohoo..." Gongsun Ce wiped his eyes, "There’s no more punishment game, I love you so much..."
Alandia cooperatively kneeled on the ground, letting Gongsun Ce rest his head on her thighs. The bandit chief’s fighting spirit instantly vanished, and he swiftly turned into a harmless little creature more endearing than Wawu, complementing the pale-faced Qin Qianbai nearby.
"Such determination... such power... I admit defeat willingly..." Qin Qianbai’s eyes were devoid of focus.
"Qin Qianbai looks like he’s about to crumble into pieces like the big boss from old comics!"
"Today’s punishment game ends here~" Gongsun Ce was on cloud nine.
"And then Gongsun Ce immediately defected because of beauty, ahhh!" Qiluo grabbed Gongsun Ce’s ankle, dragging someone who was struggling inch by inch back, "No! Our Gongsun family can’t easily admit defeat, next up is Shiyu Ling!"
"Huh, me?" Shiyu Ling was surprised for a moment, then sneered, "Hehehe, the punishment I have in mind is quite cruel..."
"Come on, whatever it is! General Qin Qianbai has already fallen, we must turn the tables!"
"Ladies, your punishment game seems like some sort of peculiar competition..." Alandia was puzzled.
The three girls turned their heads simultaneously, saying in unison, "You’re overthinking it!"
Gongsun Ce pretended not to hear, whistling on the ground.
