The Unexplained Extreme Holding of the Thighs

Translated by alice of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Even though fainting was an involuntary action, and getting knocked unconscious was a voluntary action, they had one similarity. This was that having either happen would enable a person to avoid unfortunate situations. For example, being caught and captured in bed, an attempt to counterattack was detected, or being injured and having one's lover and old enemy appear at the same time. In these kinds of situations, no matter the explanation was given, it would result in a crappy end. Therefore, passing out was the best option.

And as for JinYu, facing that impossible to beat and emotionless, savage and cruel Boss, his body decided to make him faint. This was the best option.

But!

Fainting was not the same as dying. At least fainting had an absolute limit. Even if one was seriously injured, one would faint for, at most, three days, unless there were others around. So, as soon as a person who's fainted had woken up, they would still need an explanation of how they were attacked, why they need to counterattack, and why they needed to leave opportunities open for themselves.

JinYu was no different. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he was still faced with a pair of golden pupils filled with distaste. What made JinYu genuinely pained was the realization that he could not escape this bad luck. The owner of the golden pupils opened his mouth to say, "I originally planned that you would still be unconscious. I'd wake you up by stepping on you."

"......" Could these words be any more unpleasant?!

"But it seems as though you woke up on time."

"......" To not wake up in a timely matter...My body was definitely trying to avoid getting stepped on by you, so it made me wake up on time.

"Why don't you answer?" The black qilin looked at the way JinYu's facial expressions twisted. The qilin's voice showed only a sliver of dissatisfaction.

"Eh, what do you want me to say?" Right now, his whole life was in the qilin's hands. If he were stepped on, he'd be stepped on. Either way, he didn't have long to live. Who would still want to talk to him?

The black qilin heard JinYu's word and had no response, save for the slight drop in temperature inside the warehouse. JinYu let out a small cough.

Step, step, step.

The crisp but melodious sound of footsteps grew louder. JinYu couldn't help but look back at the black qilin's hooves because of the sound. It was then when he discovered that the owner of the footsteps was already in front of him, slowly putting out its black hooves on top of JInyu's heart.

"Uh...." Was trusting too hard? Couldn't you just kill him then talk?

There was unspoken criticism radiating from the hoof on JinYu's heart. Suddenly, the black qilin, in a dissatisfied voice, said, "How are you this weak?"

"......" Enough, enough! If you say that he's weak again, then he really will be unable to bear it! "Your body has too little chaotic energy. It's hardly enough." The black qilin's voice said impatiently.
"Too weak."

"...Holy mother of god!!!" If he heard the word 'weak' again, the customarily controlled JinYu would release his rage. "Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak your ass! You dumbass! You think just because you're a god beast that I wouldn't yell back at you!! From birth, you could breathe fire and spit all kinds of adverse weather?! What kind of normal person doesn't have a weak part? Besides, if I'm so weak that you dislike me, I've never even gripped your leg and begged you for anything! Go find someone else!! I just want to live with my cute beasts for a few years. I didn't ask for a natural disaster like you to bother me!!!" Without a single breath, JinYu finally vented his discontent.
