"How about we all take this more seriously?"
Liu Bai's expression turned serious, "If we continue using the wooden sword..."
"I understand."
After a brief hesitation, the shadow slowly drew the Kusanagi Inahi from its chest.
With the naginata hilt halfway out, the shadow makes a sword flourish, and the naginata, which is about the same height as the shadow, is fully "drawn from its sheath".
This was the first time she had ever seen Liu Bai so full of fighting spirit.
...Is it a scheme?
Ying hesitated slightly. No matter what, she would definitely have to hold back from now on.
Round Two —
"——!?"
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Liu Bai once again took the initiative to attack.
"...reckless."
Shadow, who had fully entered a martial arts stance, frowned.
It's practically all over...
clang--!
clang--!
clang--!
Three consecutive clanging sounds of metal striking metal deflected Ying's attack.
Moreover, Liu Bai's speed is completely unstoppable.
Instead, she was hit several times by the water bullets fired from the die, and her kimono was already slightly damp.
"I'd say I consider myself a pretty good player."
Constantly shaking the knife is something only a flustered novice would do.
The way a pro player casually parries and deflects every attack is the correct way to play.
His sparring matches with Yomi, Chiyo, and others weren't just about him getting beaten up.
One powerful opponent after another had given him a thorough understanding of the rhythm of swordsmanship.
Shadow is strong... so let's seize the opportunity to perfectly deflect him.
[Mikoto Chiyo's Affection Level: 6974]
"...Hey, Fox Palace, did you see that?"
Chiyo, who was standing next to her, was very excited.
She had long seen that Liu Bai was a person of the "founding patriarch" level, but she did not expect that Liu Bai's sublimation would be faster than she imagined.
This is absolutely... absolutely so exciting!
clang--!
The Honkai Blade Shadow, driven by a single-minded dream, once again cleaved through the lightning, and the shadow's blade was deflected once more.
[Sword Parry: lv9lv10 (max)]
[Skill Evolution: Sword Parry lv10 Parry lv10]
[Parry Lv10: When attacked by physical attacks, you can block with your weapon and build up a posture gauge for the corresponding enemy. Once the posture gauge is full, you can perform a finishing move that deals massive damage. Note that when parrying with your fists, please make sure you are wearing gauntlets. When attacked by energy attacks, you can use a precise attack to draw in elements and counterattack.]
Its skills are maxed out, and it has even evolved.
The physical enhancements are actually limited—anyway, given the choice, Liu Bai wouldn't use his bare hands to parry, let alone since Liu Bai's main weapon is now fixed.
But... the extra elemental counterattack is a pleasant surprise. The only problem is what kind of attack counts as a "precision attack".
Currently, physics focuses more on "explosive" forces, while energy focuses more on "reaction" forces.
"It's not over yet!"
Ying, with her speed far exceeding Liu Bai's, prepared to widen the distance once again.
She... too began to feel a surge of fighting spirit.
Since things have come to this, let's beat my brother-in-law until he can't get out of bed, and then she'll take care of him!
"Ah Ying—!"
"Huh? Brother-in-law?"
Liu Bai suddenly shouted, causing Ying to instantly exit her martial arts state and enter a state of being trained.
Yes, bodily instinct.
then……
[Shadow (Dominated)]
Indeed, psychological harm is also a form of harm.
Ying showed a look of astonishment, her body...losing control.

[Reward: 50 Gacha Coins]
"Rei... Dream, Dad? Is that it? Three?" Looking at the shadow that had stopped attacking under the forest, Chiyo Mei revealed an expression of unsatisfaction. "Wait, wait! What is this! Shadow, don't be so easily swayed!"
"Ah Ying~ Raise your hand." Bai revealed a slightly sadistic smile.
"Huh? Sis, brother-in-law?" Ying looked at her hand that had involuntarily risen, her expression showing incomprehension.
"Like a puppy barking~"
"Brother-in-law, you're here... woof woof woof!"
Wait! Why won't my body obey me?!
Ying's face turned completely red.
"Eh--"
Even the most oblivious people nearby realized that Liu Bai seemed to have won.
"Is this... the power of words?"
As Liu Ying watched this scene, she felt a subtle sense of familiarity.
Now that the outcome was decided, the group gathered around.
“Ah Ying~ sit on the ground like a puppy.”
"Fox Abode Palace—!"
Ying looked ashamed and indignant.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Aying, give me a cute meow."
"Meow~?"
"..."
That's a bit of a mess; that was actually unexpectedly cute.
Liu Bai subconsciously touched his nose. Good, he hadn't been bruised by the cuteness.
...So it really was because of the wrong clothes?
This kind of meow should be paired with a bikini cat outfit.
Moreover, just standing there isn't alluring enough.
"Lord Liu Bai? Who is this?" Chiyo pointed at the shadow with some curiosity.
If Ying Yao Qi Tian and Emu Tian could meow so cutely, then it wouldn't be the younger sister seducing the older sister's husband, but rather the older sister seducing the younger brother's husband.
"Could it be considered... a manifestation of control through the unity of dreams?"
Liu Bai gave a brief explanation.
"Do you also have to bear the dream of the Herrscher of Domination?" Fox Palace asked thoughtfully. "Can the Shadow be untied like this?"
"Can it be possible..."
Liu Bai glanced at Ying, extended his hand, and Ying naturally placed his hand on Liu Bai's hand.
Unlike hypnosis, control can be given with a thought.
Of course, with hypnosis, most of the time you don't need to worry about the main consciousness, and the methods are gentler and less intense.
Qi Lu Ying
Then Liu Bai silently imagined a somewhat embarrassing catgirl look.
After sensing Liu Bai's "command," Ying's body voluntarily lay down, sticking out her buttocks, clamping the naginata between her legs, and striking a seductive cat-fist pose.
"Meow~?"
(—Why is my body still moving involuntarily?! How embarrassing…)
"Meow meow~~"
Qi Liangliang walked over to Ying's side on all fours without anyone noticing.
"Lord Shadow, are you imitating a cat?"
Qi Liangliang wiped her face like a cat. "Your movements aren't quite right. Let me teach you how to stretch... like this... and then wag your tail~"
"Pfft——!"
Fox Palace and Chiyo couldn't hold back any longer at this sight.
"Lord Liu Bai, you... haha... cough cough, what you mean by 'untie' is..."
"You can untie it by actively resisting."
Liu Bai looked at the shadow.
It seems that his status as "brother-in-law" is quite important in Ying's heart.
Ying was blushing and had no intention of resisting.
The result is now...
Surprisingly, it's a "well-behaved kitten".
"Eh--"
This statement prompted Chiyo and Kosai to draw out the words while looking at Kage with a mocking expression.
Just resist...
"Ah Ying is such a good girl." Fox Palace bent down and pinched Ying's cheek. "This is truly the first time I've known that you, Ah Ying, are such a submissive and obedient girl~~"
Under the mockery of his friends, Shadow's face turned bright red, and the next moment, the dominance state on Shadow was released.
"Fox Abode Palace—!"
The shadow, having broken free from its dominant state, rushed straight towards the Fox Palace.
"Hey—! It's not like I'm the one who tricked you! Go pounce on your brother-in-law!"
However, Ying had no intention of reasoning with Fox Palace—she was only planning to beat someone up to ease her embarrassment!
Ying clenched her fist and punched directly at Huzhaigong's face.
"Don't hit someone in the face!"
"Huh? Wasn't Master Kage imitating a cat?"
Qi Liangliang looked on in bewilderment at this scene.
"...Let's not talk about this." Bai looked at Ying, actually he hadn't expected Ying to have such a low desire to resist him. "Qi Liangliang, what are you doing here?"
"I was sleeping here. Nobody comes here, so it's very quiet. But there was a sudden clap of thunder, which startled me awake."
