CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 167: JIU LI BREAKS INTO THE MASTER’S ROOM AT NIGHT!_1

Not going to call me ’Lord’ but ’Dad’ instead?

Upon hearing her master’s words, Jiu Li couldn’t help but be a bit stunned. At the same time, she felt somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Call him ’Dad’? How could she call him ’Dad’! This is simply an insult to a Fox Demon! Steel-straight man, don’t go too far!

At this very moment, Jiu Li was both upset and annoyed, yet she dared not openly argue with Su Yan. After all, Su Yan was the master and she was the pet; speaking out of turn could easily lead to a scolding. Not just anyone could be as outrageous as Hanazawa Naoki, constantly defying superiors and figuratively thrashing bosses. One could only say that reality was reality, quite different from fictional TV dramas and movies.

Didn’t my master start to have feelings for me? So why is he still bullying me like this?

Jiu Li was quite puzzled by this. Originally, based on the behavior her master had just exhibited, she thought he had begun to harbor feelings for her and wanted to cherish her properly. But lo and behold, this sudden "if you don’t call me Lord, call me Dad" move completely bewildered her. As a Fox Demon, she couldn’t grasp what her master was really thinking for a moment.

Is he developing feelings for me? Or is he simply in a good mood today?

Jiu Li was unsure, feeling somewhat baffled.

With this in mind, she decided to continue probing, but this time in a more indirect manner. Soon, she blinked, adopting an innocent, young girl’s demeanor, and said, "Dad... My Lord, I have a question I’d like to ask you, if that’s okay?"

As she spoke, Jiu Li almost had a brain fart, nearly blurting out the word ’Dad’. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and corrected herself in time, though it was still a bit embarrassing.

Seeing Jiu Li suddenly adopt this posture, Su Yan couldn’t help but give her a meaningful smile.

He was a straight man, but not a fool. He knew Jiu Li’s sudden attempts to engage him in conversation were meant to gauge his affection for her. And, by the way, to test his limits so she could plan her future mischief.

Thinking this, Su Yan smiled gently and said, "It’s fine. Ask whatever you want, and I’ll answer what I can."

Seeing her master being so agreeable, Jiu Li instinctively felt a flicker of suspicion. However, she quickly voiced the question she had been mulling over. She then asked, "My Lord, suppose you were locked in a dorm room for a year, not allowed out. You could choose to have me stay with you, or you could have a smartphone. Which would you choose?"

As she said this, Jiu Li nonchalantly fiddled with her silk-stocking-clad legs. It seemed she was trying to increase her own value. She already knew her master had a thing for legs and was particularly fascinated with hers. He often enjoyed glancing at them from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Jiu Li suddenly flaunting herself, Su Yan found it amusing, thinking she was too naïve.

Just a pair of sexy legs, and she thinks she can wrap me around her little finger? Isn’t that a bit too optimistic? She should know. The world is vast, filled with countless beauties, and women with legs as beautiful as a Fairy’s are all over the place. To put it bluntly, long-legged beauties are a dime a dozen, and fair-skinned, pretty-legged women are everywhere. They’re practically a dime a dozen, right? And not even looking far, just nearby—aren’t Qin Yao and An Shihua enchanting? Their legs are also long and fair, not at all inferior to yours, you Fox Demon, right? And yet, you think you can seduce a seasoned playboy like me with just your legs? What a joke.

After his mental tirade, Su Yan composed himself and turned to Jiu Li, asking, "Does the smartphone come with a power bank?"

He didn’t give a direct answer, instead meticulously questioning the item’s specifics.

Huh? A power bank?

Jiu Li was momentarily confused, thinking her master was quite meticulous. She then replied, "It does, and it’s a high-capacity one."

Su Yan nodded and asked again, "Does it come with a data cable?"

"Yes, it does."

"What about a charging adapter?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! The smartphone has an infinite battery; it will never run out of power or shut down!"

Jiu Li, tired of Su Yan’s questions, decided to resolve the battery issue once and for all. Then, she urged him somewhat impatiently, "My Lord, please make your choice. Stop asking me these strange questions."

Truth be told, Jiu Li suspected her steel-straight master was a contrarian, but she had no proof. So, she acted as if nothing was amiss, continuing to press him patiently.

Meanwhile, Su Yan became a little displeased upon hearing this.

This Fox Demon is getting bold! Daring to talk to me like that? Watch me argue you into silence!

With that thought, Su Yan furrowed his brow slightly and said, "That doesn’t make sense!"

"A phone needs to be charged. How could it possibly have an infinite battery?"

"A smartphone with an infinite battery simply defies the law of conservation of energy, doesn’t it!"

Su Yan was a seasoned contrarian, easily latching onto any point of contention to argue obstinately. Even though he knew Jiu Li was speaking hypothetically, he just wanted to trap her in an argument. He unleashed a Combination Punch, aiming to argue her into submission, to see if she dared show impatience again.

"What the—"

Hearing Su Yan bring up the law of conservation of energy, Jiu Li was truly dumbfounded.
