It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

After a moment's thought, Newton rejected the idea with a serious expression: "It still won't work. You have to add the part about 'not the original idea, but ordering the housekeeper to touch the guests inappropriately' as well."

"..."

Li Cheng's lips twitched, then he took a deep breath: "If I wanted to play word games, I have plenty of ways to do it. Why bother with such pedantic wordplay?"

"I don't care, you have to add it, or I'll jump off the arrow tower right now!"

Newton was very determined, and at the same time, he clung to the edge of the arrow tower with both hands, as if to say that if you don't add him, he will jump down immediately.

Li Cheng said helplessly, "Then wait a little longer."

He then disappeared from sight again, only to reappear a moment later with a line added to the document in his hand.

[Also: Isaac Newton wouldn't be spanked for ordering the housekeeper to grope a guest, even though it wasn't his original intention.]

"Uh-huh."

Upon seeing the document that met his expectations, Newton nodded with satisfaction, scurried down from the arrow tower, and prepared to take the document and examine it carefully.

Li Cheng waited quietly below, waiting until Newton took the document, until Newton relaxed his guard, and until Newton began to examine it. A smirk appeared on his lips, and with practiced ease, he bent down, swept Newton up on his shoulder, and strode towards his bedroom.

The hunt was a success.

? ! ! !

Newton felt her trust had been betrayed in the most shameful way. She angrily waved her limbs and shouted, "Liar! Big liar! Let me go! I never want to see you again! I'm going to jump off the arrow tower!"

Li Cheng walked swiftly, replying as he went, "Hey, hey, hey, you can't just say things like that. I didn't lie to you."

"You still say you're not lying to me?"

Newton seemed unable to believe that Li Cheng could be so shameless. She shouted, "You clearly promised not to spank me... uh."

Li Cheng said, "Look, I only promised not to spank you, right? I didn't spank you."

Newton gradually calmed down and asked in return, "Then what do you want to do?"

Li Cheng had already returned to his room. He closed the door behind him, then changed Newton's posture from a forceful 'resistance' to a gentler 'hug', and then leaned down to kiss him.

"No... Ugh!"

After all that fuss, it turned out he was going to do something perverted to her. Newton blushed and resolutely resisted. Unfortunately, her struggles were completely futile. Li Cheng was too strong and forced his lips to press against hers.

"...That's all you know how to do."

A moment later, Newton's indignant voice escaped his lips.

Despite feeling incredibly wronged, Newton still opened his mouth, and his little tongue began to cooperate.

------

Inside the guest room.

After being served a hot bath by a maid and changed into dry clothes, Dideli is now curled up in her warm bed, using rest to slowly recover her physical and mental strength.

But when she recalled the terrible tortures she had suffered, she would involuntarily shudder, and then... a barely perceptible blush would rise on her face.

Some might wonder why her face flushed. Did the housekeeper do something strange that's hard to describe in detail?

Actually not.

Under the two prohibitions of not causing substantial harm and not insulting the body, the housekeeper exerted full initiative and came up with an ancient form of punishment.

She took off Deedley's shoes and found a few discarded quill pens, then tickled the soles of her feet repeatedly, trying to make Deedley laugh.

That's right, this is... the torture of laughter.

Laughter, an ancient form of punishment, appeared as early as the Han Dynasty and was mostly used by the nobility. This was because it did not leave physical marks and allowed for quick recovery.

Incidentally, the ancient Roman torture of laughter involved immersing a person's feet in a salt solution, after which a sheep would meticulously lick the victim's feet.

Far away.

Although a few people have less sensitive nerves, which means they are not ticklish on the soles of their feet, unfortunately, Didelli is not one of them.

Thus, through the housekeeper's efforts, Dideli went from initially suppressing laughter to bursting into laughter, and then her voice gradually became distorted. After enduring torture for more than ten minutes, with her eyes rolled back, lips open and panting, she was almost unconscious.

Looks like it's been completely ruined.jpg

Upon seeing Dideli in this state, the housekeeper would take a bowl of cold water from a wooden basin prepared nearby and slowly pour it down her neck to stimulate her to regain consciousness so that she could continue repeating the previous step.

"demon......"

At these times, Deedley would weakly shout out this.

But all she got in return was the villainous lines from the housekeeper, who was very much into her role: "Hehehe, go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out."

......

Getting back to the main point, why did Dideri's face turn red?

As a form of punishment that evokes strong physiological responses, laughing torture can occasionally produce some unexpected effects.

In the first thirty minutes, after being attacked by both a quill pen and cold water, Dideri almost had a breakdown and thought that the 'hehehe' laughing housekeeper was a devil from hell.

But as time went on, accompanied by the dual blows to her mind and body, a strange, indescribable feeling spread from deep within her body, permeating her entire being, allowing her to endure for a full hour...

I must say, female knights (fake) are truly a very peculiar species...

Step, step, step—

Just as Didrie was wriggling her legs in bed, her face flushed with an eerie blush as she recalled that strange feeling, and even starting to miss the housekeeper's face, a rhythmic sound of footsteps reached her ears.

She opened her eyes and saw the red-haired man she had seen before standing beside her bed.

"Miss Dideri."

Li Cheng walked to the bedside, looking refreshed, and said, "My name is Banana King. There may have been a small misunderstanding before. I have just taught the culprit a lesson. Please accept my apology."

Did they teach the culprit a lesson?

No way?

Dideri nervously looked around the room but couldn't see the housekeeper. Instead, she spotted Newton not far away, his eyes streaked with tears, his cheeks flushed, his steps unsteady, and he was even slightly out of breath.

So this is the culprit! You should have said so earlier.

Dideri gave a holy, clergy-like smile and said, "It's alright. I'm not angry with Ms. Newton. It's all my fault. I accidentally mistook Ms. Newton for someone else."

???

Li Cheng was completely stunned, because he could tell that the person in front of him wasn't just being polite; he genuinely wasn't angry at all.

Even Newton, who was about to apologize, paused for a moment and asked in shock, "You...you're really not angry?"

To be fair, she felt that if she were treated that way, she would be irreconcilably opposed, if not die-hard enemies.

"Don't be angry."

Dideri replied with a smile.

? ? ? ? ?

Li Cheng and Newton exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.

How can you not be angry?

Even a saint would be angry, right?

Li Cheng pondered for a while, feeling that this was not something a carbon-based life form would say, so he boldly made a guess: "Could it be... that he caught a cold?"

"possible."

Newton nodded in agreement, reached out his little hand to Deedley's forehead, compared it with his own, and came to a conclusion: "It's really hot. She must have caught a cold earlier."

"That's serious, he's talking nonsense."

Li Cheng frowned deeply and said to Dideli, "Don't worry, just rest and recover. I will definitely take full responsibility."

After saying that, a glint flashed in his eyes: "Speaking of which, this was all Lurenjia's doing. That guy is always causing trouble instead of doing anything good. I'll have her take care of your daily life herself. She'll handle all your needs, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation. She'll be there for you 24 hours a day."

"I......"

Dideli wanted to argue that she wasn't talking nonsense, but upon hearing that she could enjoy the personal service of the housekeeper, she immediately changed her tune and asked, "The Lurengar you mentioned, is that the housekeeper who interrogated me before?"

Li Cheng's face darkened: "Yes, it's her."

To be honest, he'd been annoyed with Lurengar for a long time. Last time she snitched on him and Susie, and now she's messing around with Newton again, causing this mess—he'd have to figure out a way to fire her.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing that it was Lurengar, Dideri immediately exclaimed with delight.

Li Cheng thought to himself that this person was indeed seriously ill. He was actually grateful for the care he received from criminals. Could it be the legendary Stockholm syndrome?

However, he had to take care of things no matter what, so he put the matter aside and asked, "If you have any urgent matters that you're worried about being delayed, you can tell me and I'll take care of them for you."

Upon hearing this, Dideri realized that she did indeed have a task, and said, "I have to go to the port to greet someone on behalf of Lincoln University the day after tomorrow."

"Who?"

“They’ve sent someone from University College London, I think it’s a professor named Mitchell, to our school for an academic exchange,” Didrie replied. “I heard it’s a very serious academic exchange, and my uncle told me to make sure they’re treated well.”

Dideli, a beautiful and voluptuous adult woman, also has a job similar to that of a hostess—the kind where she performs but doesn't sell her body.

University College London? Professor Mitchell?

I know this very well!

Upon hearing the familiar name, Li Cheng smiled confidently and assured him, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll go and greet them in your place."

Chapter 201 The Female Knight.a*i

Although the fever on his forehead was purely accidental for Li Cheng.

But Deedley actually did have a cold, but it hadn't been long enough for the symptoms to be obvious.

After all, in the dead of winter, being forced to laugh for an hour without stopping, and getting half of your clothes soaked through, would leave any normal carbon-based organism feeling weak.

Then, the cruel and evil virus took advantage of the situation, ignoring the female knight's weak and powerless immune system, coldly and ruthlessly penetrating her body into the helpless body of the lustful creature, and after a series of actions, releasing a large number of offspring...

The female knight was injected with a large number of offspring.

In short, Deedley is currently in a sub-illness state that she herself is unaware of—she is sick, but not completely ill. Specifically, this manifests as a somewhat straightforward mindset and an inability to process certain details, to the point that she didn't even inquire about details such as Li Cheng's identity.

"Oh, right."

After exchanging a few words of concern, Li Cheng, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard from the servant that you came to visit because you admire Newton. So... would you like her to sign your autograph?"
