I have a lot of dating skills.

"This is not a game, it's training material. Please take a look, Master."

She took out another piece of paper from her body and handed it to Xin Yu, but Xin Yu didn't even look at it and said directly, "No need. If there is any punishment that you can complete on your own, then do it yourself and let me know when you're done."

Xin Yu thought to himself that this way he wouldn't have to get involved. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it if something like this happened again.

"Okay, Yingxi will tell Master later." Huo Yingxi took back the paper, got off the bed, put on her shoes, and looked at Xin Yu on the bed with high spirits. "Yingxi will work hard to exercise and try to do a hundred push-ups next time!"

Xin Yu was dumbfounded. What? You want to continue?

Huo Yingxi added, "As the master's maid, Yingxi cannot allow herself to fail."

“I allow it…”

"Master, please don't try to persuade Yingxi. Yingxi will definitely become your best maid."

Huo Yingxi waved her hand and smiled like a saint.

Wow, that's so eye-catching! Xin Yu felt speechless.

“You…” Xin Yu raised his hand, then lowered it weakly: “Forget it, let’s do it in groups next time. Divide the hundred push-ups into four groups of twenty-five each.”

Xin Yu felt that the little maid was too obsessed with the so-called task, so he decided to let her complete it. Otherwise, who could stand being tormented like this every time?

Huo Yingxi did not object to this, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Master."

"Master hasn't had breakfast yet, but there's no food in the refrigerator. Yingxi wants to go to the market to buy groceries. Would you like to come along?"

She looked at Xin Yu with hopeful eyes, imagining how interesting it would be to be led to the market by her master. It was a pity that her master didn't want to participate in the punishment, otherwise it would have been a good punishment.

Xin Yu had no idea she was thinking such a shocking thing. Hearing this, he said thoughtfully, "Let's go out to eat. It's too much trouble to cook ourselves."

I'll take you home after you finish eating.

Xin Yu thought to himself that he was worried Zhao Weijing would come over today, and that their meeting would be another painful ordeal. No, perhaps Huo Yingxi would do something to bring him and Zhao Weijing together; that wasn't impossible.

After changing their clothes, the two went out together without attracting attention. There weren't many residents on the floor, so they just needed to be careful when going out.

They went downstairs one after the other, and met up outside. Xin Yu thought for a moment, then called two ride-hailing cars on his phone to take him and Huo Yingxi to the city center. He planned to have breakfast there, then make an excuse to slip away.

On a famous commercial street in the city center, Xin Yu got off the bus and saw a noodle shop. Just as he was about to go over, Huo Yingxi pointed to a shopping mall not far away.

"...Xin Yu, let's go inside and buy something."

She called out Xin Yu's name with a hint of awkwardness.

There were places to eat in the shopping mall, but they were quite expensive. However, Xin Yu was eager to finish the fight quickly, so he didn't mind and went in with her.

After entering, Huo Yingxi went straight to the supermarket, but Xin Yu didn't want to go in. He said to her at the door, "I'm going to the restroom. I'll wait for you outside."

Huo Yingxi nodded and went inside to shop.

Xin Yu arrived at the secluded restroom and was about to go in when he noticed a group of little girls playing around several dolls in a nearby open space. There were panda dolls, Pikachu, Kumamon, and... cute happiness dolls.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Damn it, you actually disciplined her!

Upon seeing the happy doll, Xin Yu's heart tightened, and he darted into the bathroom aisle to hide, cautiously peeking out half his head to observe the outside.

The main thing to look at is that Fukui doll, because it looks so much like the one that attacked him twice. The difference is that this Fukui doll can move and does some funny things to please little girls. You can tell at a glance that there is a person inside.

The two attacks on Xin Yu were still very strange to him. Every time he recalled them, he felt that Fu Ou was very eerie. Pedestrians would disappear without a trace, and Fu Ou would quietly appear on the road, waiting for him to pass by.

The mysterious doll usually wouldn't move when he was watching, but it would suddenly launch an attack when his back was turned.

The mysterious puppet might be very heavy, or the person inside might have a very stable lower body and be trained, so it wouldn't be easily knocked down.

Xin Yu had only touched and studied the mysterious doll up close before. If a person were to be hidden inside that doll, it could only be a very petite creature. How could such a small creature have such an ability?

In short, no matter how you look at it, the mysterious doll is very abnormal.

Now that a mysterious doll has been discovered in public, Xin Yu became extremely vigilant, secretly observing the doll's movements, hoping to glean some information.

Just as he was examining the Fu Ou, the panda puppet among the puppets suddenly turned its head and stared intently at Xin Yu's location.

Xin Yu was startled and shrank back. He realized something was wrong. He had been so focused on Fu Ou that he had overlooked the other puppets. Those who were walking with Fu Ou were probably accomplices.

However, being in the mall, Xin Yu remained calm and prepared to take another look at the situation. But as soon as he peeked out, he saw the clumsy panda mascot running towards him and soon blocking him at the exit of the restroom corridor.

Seemingly catching its breath, three seconds later, the panda doll suddenly charged towards Xin Yu.

"Seriously? They dare to make a move here?"

Xin Yu was shocked, but he didn't intend to get entangled with the other party. He aimed at the moment when the panda doll rushed over, and as it opened its arms to pounce, he lowered his body and crawled under its armpits.

Just as the panda was about to brake, Xin Yu kicked him in the butt. The panda cried out in surprise and fell forward with his butt sticking out.

Xin Yu didn't have time to be surprised that it was a girl's voice. He turned around and ran. There were still three dolls outside. Staying was not a wise choice. He planned to run to the security guard for help.

"Chase!"

Hearing the girl's angry voice, Xin Yu turned around and saw that the panda man was leading Pikachu and Kumamon to chase after him, leaving Fuou to guard the little girls.

The grand event left passersby who came to use the restroom nearby completely bewildered, staring blankly as if the mall was holding some kind of event.

Xin Yu cursed under his breath and sped up. These puppet figures were too arrogant, daring to chase after him in full view of everyone. This made him suspect that they had a backup plan. For his own safety, he dared not stop.

Xin Yu ran from the second floor to the fourth floor, with the mascot still chasing closely behind him. Just as he was about to take the elevator down, the elevator doors opened, and out stepped the panda man.

At this moment, Pikachu and Kumamon arrived from behind, and the three of them surrounded Xin Yu.

"caught you!"

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"Accept the sanctions!"

The three girls, each speaking a sentence, had clear, crisp voices and were clearly dressed as mascots.

Xin Yu was stunned, instinctively sensing something was wrong, and asked, "What do you mean? Why are you chasing me? Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

Pikachu snorted coldly, its voice crisp: "Still trying to deny it, you damn lolicon! Go tell the police!"

"These little girls are so cute, how could you make them cry?" Kumamoto panda said, teasing a mouse.

“Mr. Pervert, don’t try to get away with this. We’ve been guarding this place for days. You’re the most suspicious person. Otherwise, why would you run away?”

The panda's voice was soft yet cold, giving off a confident vibe, as if he was convinced that Xin Yu was the murderer.

Xin Yu was taken aback and said warily, "If you chase me, of course I'll run."

She was completely confused. From what they said, the three of them weren't part of the mysterious doll's group; they were just trying to catch the culprit who bullied the little girl, and they had mistaken her for the culprit.

But Xin Yu couldn't be sure. What if they were in cahoots with Fu Ou and planned to use this excuse to arrest and take him away?

Therefore, Xin Yu dared not let his guard down at all.

The panda said, "I chased you just to test you. Your escape proves you have something to hide. The security guards are on their way. Surrender now."

Xin Yu was speechless, feeling that something was wrong, but not knowing how to refute it.

"Don't waste your breath on him. Let this social scum go and repent while he's eating a government job!"

Pikachu finished speaking rudely and took a step forward. At that moment, the sound of a little girl crying came from the second floor below. A group of little girls were crying together, and the sound carried all the way to the fourth floor.

"Sister, Fu Ou is bullying us."

A little girl ran up to the fourth floor with tears in her eyes, anxiously reporting to the three doll girls, her tears falling as she spoke: "My lollipop was taken away, boohoo~~"

The panda remained motionless, as if emanating a chill.

"We've been scammed!"

After saying this, the panda turned and walked into the elevator.

"Tch, boring." Kumamon instantly felt bored and turned to leave. Her voice was light, but you could still feel the anger of being tricked.

"hateful!"

Pikachu huffed and cursed, not even bothering with Xin Yu, and was about to go downstairs with the crying little girl when a girl came up to the fourth floor. She turned her gaze and saw Xin Yu, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran towards him.

Just as Pikachu brushed past the girl, it paused for a moment, turned around, and was surprised to see the girl run up to the boy from before, looking at him with concern.

"Master, are you alright? I think I saw someone chasing you. It's all Yingxi's fault for abandoning you and failing to protect you."

The girl was Huo Yingxi. She came up to Xin Yu and said, both nervous and remorseful.

Xin Yu gave a wry smile and shook his head: "It's nothing, just a misunderstanding."

Seeing that Xin Yu seemed unharmed, Huo Yingxi relaxed, but then said worriedly, "Master, let's go back. It doesn't seem safe here."

Xin Yu hesitated for a moment, thinking of going down to the second floor to take a look, but Huo Yingxi was right. With the mysterious doll there, it was indeed not safe here.

Pikachu walked up to them, staring coldly at Xin Yu as if it wanted to punch him, and asked, word by word, in an icy tone, "What did she call you? Master?"

Before Xin Yu could figure out what was going on, Huo Yingxi frowned and looked at Pikachu in surprise: "Jiamin? What are you doing here?"

Xin Yu was astonished, "You two know each other?"

The girl named Jiamin took off her hood, revealing a cute, slightly childish face. Her hair was a bit messy, and she had prominent canine teeth. At that moment, she was baring her teeth at Xin Yu and glaring at him fiercely.

"I'm asking you, why does she call you master?"

Uh, is this Huo Yingxi's friend?

Faced with this question, Xin Yu felt very embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain his relationship with Huo Yingxi, Jia Min glanced at him and saw something that was accidentally peeking out from the bag Huo Yingxi was carrying.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. She snatched it, opened it, and revealed props inside, including whips, candles, handcuffs, black and white stockings, and a bunny girl.

Jiamin was struck dumb.

Huo Yingxi frowned and snatched the things back. "Bei Jiamin, don't touch my things."

"Yours?" Bei Jiamin's face was very ugly. She looked at Huo Yingxi with disappointment, then turned to glare at Xin Yu as if she wanted to devour him, and said angrily.

"Damn it, you actually trained her, and even me... I'm going to kill you!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: It is a maid's duty to relieve her master's stress.

Xin Yu's face twitched. What the girl was about to say was that she actually envied him.

Before Xin Yu could figure it out, an enraged Bei Jiamin yelled "Die!" and lunged at him, only to be kicked to the ground by Huo Yingxi.

The girl wearing the clumsy Pikachu costume was kicked away, rolled several times on the ground after landing, and finally lay on the ground like a dead fish, looking completely stunned by the kick.

"Master, don't worry about her, let's go quickly, it's not safe here."
