After sending Mr. Snowman away, Mia quickly turned around and buried her head into Baiyi’s embrace. Her sentiment was plain to see as she squeezed her eyes shut in childlike glee, hugging his waist tightly and rubbing her cheeks against his chest.
Baiyi returned her gesture with a soft pat on her head. "Did that frighten you?"
Mia wanted to shake her head, but decided against putting up a bravado and just nodded honestly.
Looking up at Baiyi’s face, she flashed him a docile smile. "Good thing Mr. Snowman came just in time! I’m not scared anymore."
Her gaze turned downwards to the hammerhead plushie bound to Baiyi’s abdomen, and her voice turned less gleeful. "Sharkie hurt itself because of me though…"
Jesus, this Baiyi would make a pretty good deity in my opinion. You know why? Cause’ he dishes out pretty disproportionate and epic punishment for just about anything, just because he can. Now that’s what gods are! Look at them Greek gods and other cultures!
That is why, if you ever found yourself accidentally sucked into this world, here’s a provisional guide to survive. You’re welcome!
First, are you a lady? If yes, GREAT! You’re already very likely to survive by, what? 50% chance (soft estimation)! If you’re beautiful, even better! Just make sure you’re in his harem—you don’t even have to be infatuated with him in the beginning, that part will happen later—and enjoy being exalted indirectly, even if you’re not royalty of any kind! Our spokeswoman, Little Mia, is a testament of that.
If you’re not a lady or not very good-looking, woes to you, but don’t give up! Always make sure that your name is mentioned in the text. Vidomina? Undine? Attie? Eugene Dole? Zhang brothers—what do they all have in common? That’s right, their names were known, and they’re still alive. Having your name mentioned dramatically increases your chance of survival. Even Zhang Little Bro survived having his bronchitis cut off! Not that you must be named to survive, but it does help.
Lastly, never act too wayward or casually to Mia, or Tisdale, or any girl around him. Even if you’re mad at any of them— suck it up! If you dare, talk to their godly guardian and try to persuade him into disciplining them a little. Careful that you might knock yourself onto a glass door that wasn’t there just now while on your way out after that, though. Keep quiet, pretend that it didn’t happen, and you shall survive!
Bottom line: never upset Mia. Don’t believe me? I’ll tell you, without knowing the next chapter at all, that this crazy fire ultimate spell was conjured because Mia was shaken up a little just now…
