My wife is a witch princess

Chapter 50 The Decent Man is Hungry, The Decent Man Gets Beaten Up

Song Che was taken aback when he saw the sign, but then he composed himself and continued applying makeup to Xia Li. He didn't stop until he had covered Xia Li's cheeks, lips, and the corners of her eyes with black.

"Come on, Xia Li, look at the camera." He held up his phone, adjusted the angle, and said, "Yes, like this, look at me."

He permanently saved this photo on his phone.

Xia Li stared at him the whole time, making him feel a little uneasy.

Why do I keep wanting to laugh?

I didn't laugh.

"You're laughing inside," she said calmly. "And you even said you were laughing so hard you wanted to strangle me."

Xia Li had already brought over the blush. "I don't understand, what does laughing have to do with strangling me?"

"If you don't understand, don't put blush on my lips. It'll make you sick!" Song Che quickly snatched the thing from her hand and tried to explain, "When I said I'd strangle you, I didn't really mean to strangle you. The 'you' here only exists in my mind, not the real you."

Song Che sighed helplessly. Xia Li clearly didn't understand. It was like greeting one's parents in a game; the parents in the game only existed in the game, and these parents were not the real parents.

Your Highness, you're usually the one tapping people on the head, stuffing foundation into their faces isn't your style at all!

……

"I'm so angry! I'll kill you! Next time, Momoka will definitely kill you, you bastard... No, I'll burn you to death, turn you into ashes, wrap you up like dumplings, and throw you to the crocodile!"

In the living room, Tao Xiang sat on the floor, puffing out her cheeks, and waved her fists at the air.

"Woof woof!" Bruce barked twice as he came over.

"You agree with me, don't you?" Tao Xiang seemed to have found a kindred spirit, pointing to the two freshly formed bumps on her forehead. "That wicked woman! She spanked my butt and flicked my head, they're all swollen!"

She became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, covering her head and kicking her legs on the ground: "Why is it that only I get bullied! I haven't seen her for a week, I thought she was dead... Bless her, bless her, I don't want to do this anymore!"

Bruce didn't reply. He lowered his head and licked the Q-version sunflower ornament on the ground, which had a broken chassis and was lying to the side but still had a bright smile on its face.

"That woman is a lunatic! Something broke, and before anyone else could say anything to me, she started lecturing me! My sister almost fainted from being flicked by her. She's mute, she doesn't say anything, and she won't listen to anyone's explanation... I don't know what she's angry about, I'm the one who should be angry!"

Tao Xiang hastily wiped away her tears with her sleeve, leaving two grayish marks on her face.

After all the commotion, my stomach growled.

I'm hungry...

Two lines of tears, symbolizing pain, streamed down his lips.

……

Two purple smudges remained around Song Che's eyes, but fortunately, even when Xia Li was angry, her emotional fluctuations were similar to when she was happy, not particularly intense. She didn't choose to strangle him in public, nor did she send him to his death with a super flick on the head.

At this moment, she was trying to apply makeup to Song Che, trying to recreate the feeling from before. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have developed a bit of interest in it, which was not a good sign; her technique was really wasting the makeup.

Song Che's skin was in average condition and he didn't usually take care of it much. But with the coverage and enhancement of the foundation, it actually looked different. Xia Li felt it was somewhat like the effect of a magic potion—turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Just kidding, it's one of the four great evil arts of Asia, it's not just a name.

However, her makeup skills were really clumsy. She stopped halfway through, her fingers hovering near her cheek, and whispered, "It seems like I've made a mistake."

She suddenly didn't like purple as much anymore.

It's alright, Your Highness. As long as you're happy, just remember the rules and you'll pass the level.

"I will remain serious." Xia Li nodded.

Your Highness, please don't engage in virtual dialogue; just listen to my thoughts.

"clear."

You didn't understand at all.

Song Che decisively stopped his internal monologue and simply looked at Xia Li.

After looking at her for a while, his aesthetic sense felt like it had been violated; he actually felt that Xia Li exuded a dark charm. Putting aside all other factors, just looking at her face, he felt he could resist laughing.

Everything was ready. Jiang Xiaoxiao, as an independent team member, began reading the rule card given to her by the supervisor.

Since the two were high school students, the staff only provided a small amount of the sponsor's liquor. They each took a sip; they weren't dizzy, but they felt inexplicably excited. Xia Li's cheeks quickly flushed red. Looking at Song Che, she felt he resembled a tree, and she wanted to lean against him and rest for a while. But when she actually got closer, she realized it wasn't a tree, it was Song Che.

"Song Che, battle-ready face; Xia Li, serious face. Stare at each other for one minute!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao started the timer.

tick, tick-

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Song Che didn't laugh, Xia Li didn't laugh, but Jiang Shuo broke down first. Zhang Hanyu rolled her eyes at him. His smile froze, he held it in for two seconds, then couldn't help but laugh again.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Hanyu asked.

"I suddenly realized," Jiang Shuo pointed at Zhang Hanyu's face, "that you look a bit like a woman."

"Points deducted, hold it in."

Xia Li stared intently at Song Che with her clear blue eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Song Che hadn't intended to laugh, but being stared at so intently made him feel a little embarrassed. The more he looked at Xia Li's face, the more exquisite it seemed, and the more he felt her eyes were bright and clear.

Imagine a beautiful woman looking at you up close, not necessarily with affection, but focused and attentive. Wouldn't you blush?

At this moment, Song Che had clearly forgotten Xia Li's astonishing appetite and those facepalm-worthy common sense facts, mistakenly treating her as a girl.

"Time's up. Group 1 gets full marks, Group 2 loses 30 points. The total score is 33.3 for Group 1 and 22.2 for Group 2."

As Jiang Xiaoxiao announced the results, Xia Li suddenly spoke up: "Just now, I saw myself in your eyes. What's going on?"

"If you can't see it, then I should be blind." Song Che was too lazy to explain the structure of the eyeball and the principle of imaging in detail. He knew that according to Xia Li's thinking, she would most likely end up saying, "This science does not conform to the laws of magic," and then nod and say, "I don't understand."

He used a simple analogy: "It's like looking in a mirror, you understand?"

Xia Li nodded: "I don't understand. But I think I saw two of you... Is this scientific?"

"That's because you're drunk, you little idiot."

The second round of challenges began quickly. Jiang Shuo was still being scolded by Zhang Hanyu, and it took several minutes before he reluctantly apologized, and the storm finally subsided.

There are no special rules for this round; you simply enter the haunted houses in front of you one by one. You can use your phone for light, but you must find the exit yourself, or give up halfway.

Zhang Hanyu and Jiang Shuo entered one after the other, followed closely by Song Che.

Xia Li was the last one.

The door closed behind me, swallowing up the light.

As Xia Li stepped into the darkness, she was slightly taken aback—the voice that had been lingering on the edge of her consciousness had vanished.

She turned on her phone's flashlight, illuminating a narrow passage.

Crude, spooky props hung on either side, their shadows indistinct. Several forks in the road appeared ahead, their destinations unknown.

"Song Che".

She tried to call out, but her voice sounded weak in the confined space.

There was no response; it seemed as if she was all alone behind the door.

A sense of panic crept in silently.

"Song Che," she called again, her voice urgent, "Where are you? I can't see you."

……

"I'm so angry! Why can't I find that awful woman! If I ever find her, I'll turn into a cat and scratch her face!" Tao Xiang huffed and puffed as she crawled out from under the sofa, her hair dusty and looking rather defiant. "I'm not afraid of her! In the entire Xia Kingdom, I'm the biggest monster! Next time we meet, I'll definitely reclaim my dignity!"

She spoke through gritted teeth, like a fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead emerging from the deepest hell, but in reality, she was at most a stupid cat with its fur standing on end.

After making those harsh remarks, she rubbed her rumbling stomach and sidled up to the refrigerator. She opened it and found half a bowl of cold rice left. Without thinking twice, she took it out and started eating it.

"Eat your fill first, then you'll have the energy to sleep, and you'll have the energy to fight. That's how tigers are, right, Bruce?"

Bruce shook his head.

Although it didn't quite understand complex human language, it instinctively felt that Momoka was right about some of what she had said earlier—she was a bit shameless.

And the way he walked away with what he thought was an elegant cat-like gait after kicking that poor sunflower... really doesn't seem like a respectable person.

Bruce didn't want to associate with this silly cat.

After finishing my meal, I felt sleepy.

Tao Xiang yawned, her eyelids slowly drooping.

The world went dark.

……

"It's so dark, Jiang Shuo, where are you?"

"Under your feet..."

Zhang Hanyu turned on his phone's flashlight and shone it downwards.

Jiang Shuo was lying on a soft cushion, grimacing. Next to him lay another person, Song Che.

"Xia Li is gone." Song Che quickly surveyed his surroundings by the light. A sign was posted on the wall in front of him:

[Multiplayer Mode: Find clues to find the exit]

He quickly checked his surroundings but found no obvious clues.

"We fell from up there," he speculated. "Xia Li might... still be up there."

At the same time, Xia Li pushed open her first door.
