Painterly

[Top-tier mutual teasing + extreme tug-of-war + trash-talking + 1v1]
Wen Zhi had lived in the shadow of being bullied by her entire family since she was young until she was discarded by the He Family as a pawn.
After returning to the country, the first thing she did was to give the He Family a big present.
At the banquet, as soon as Wen Zhi was done with her mischief, she wanted to flee.
Just as she reached the corner, a man stopped her.
“Little Zhi, haven't seen you for five years, where are you running to?”
Looking at the big demon lord who'd tormented her since her childhood, with such a righteous human-dog appearance, Wen Zhi swallowed her saliva.
In her ears, she could almost hear He Hanjin saying that same line to her countless times:
“Little Zhi, you need to be good. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs.”
So in the past, she was constantly playing the good girl, and Hanjin seemed very satisfied with her obedience.
But now that she had finally broken free from his control, she didn't know how he'd torment her if he caught her again.
How could she not run?!

Let Her Flirt

He Wenyan had been paying attention to Wen Zhi's actions, and when she saw her sufficiently focused, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she immediately came up with an idea.


Wen Zhi was walking ahead, and to any discerning observer, her pace was indeed quite fast—purely torturous compared to He Wenyan, who had never undergone any physical training.


"Wen Zhi, can we go a bit slower? I'm having trouble keeping up," He Wenyan said, breathing slightly heavily.


However, Wen Zhi didn't show the slightest intention of stopping. Instead, she urged He Wenyan on, "This is a competition, not just playing house. I don't want to lose, at least not by a humiliating margin."


"Being in last place doesn't sound very good," she added.


With that, Wen Zhi increased her speed even more.


He Wenyan hadn't really expected Wen Zhi not to give her any leeway at all, to the point of threatening to leave her far behind.
