Chapter 16 - Traumatized

I sit in my room with the old lady picking out feathers from my hair as Bai Lei stares at me from the entrance. Ren glares at me from behind Bai Lei. Chicken feathers were still sticking out of his hair as he bristles with anger.

"What did you learn?" Bai Lei asks with a stern look. I want to say something smart but I just don't have it in me. I'm pretty sure I will be terrified of chickens for the rest of my life. "Not to piss off chickens... they're like little angry feathery raptors!"

Bai Lei's face scrunches up in confusion. They were like what? And why is she always so vulgar!? He takes a deep breath to calm himself as he reminds himself once again that she's obviously from another world... he wasn't even from this current world so he knew there must be others that even he and his people weren't aware of.

The old lady smacks the back of my head making me freeze. I slowly turn to glare at the woman and say "I'm not above beating an old lady for hitting me. Hit me again and you won't have to worry about retiring."

My hard eyes lock onto her dark brown eyes making her freeze in fear. Why was this brat suddenly so scary? She's always been lofty and a bit of a pushover... was it because she slapped her? She didn't even slap her hard!

The old lady swallows hard and carefully nods her head. I turn back to see Bai Lei and Ren watching me. "Can you leave now? I'd like to take a shower... I smell like a donkey's ass!" Ren's mouth drops open and his jaw nearly hits the ground as Bai Lei narrows his eyes in anger.

Still not leaving? Fine! I suddenly stand up scaring the old lady behind me. I then grab the ties on my undergarment and begin pulling them. Ren snaps his mouth shut and quickly covers his eyes as he runs out of the room with a red face.

The old lady gasps in shock and tries to stop me but when I cut her a look she freezes. "Leave," Bai Lei says to the old lady. She quickly bows and takes off, leaving Bai Lei and me alone. I arch a dark brow and say "Are you really gonna stay here while I strip?"

Bai Lei watches me with cold eyes as he says "I'm your future husband so stripping in front of me should be fine." I instantly narrow my eyes on him. Was he trying to call my bluff? This is one he will lose then... I lean down and pull off my shoes while watching him.

The sun was beginning to set casting everything in a reddish hue but his black outer robe seemed to suck in all the light. I then pull off my socks but he continues to watch me with a cold look. I reach up and grab the edges of my bottoms but he doesn't seem nervous at all.

"Last chance," I say in a threatening voice. He just crosses his arms and leans against the door with a blank face. I grit my teeth and think back to all the times I've played strip poker with my friends. We would all drink and play and before the night was over I always ended up naked.

It was just a body! Hmph! I'm about to push off the bottoms when an idea suddenly hits me. Hah... let's make this a little fun. I look up to Bai Lei with a seductive smirk. You want to play chicken with me? Let's play pretty boy!

I slowly slide the bottoms down and watch as his relaxed poster becomes a bit stiffer. The sun cutting through the windows landed on my exposed legs making them look golden. "Still not leaving?" I ask in a low teasing voice.

Bai Lei clenches his teeth together but he refuses to back down. She wouldn't really strip down completely... she was just bluffing! The top half of my under shit still covered my lady bits a bit as I step closer to him. He had no idea who he was messing with... I suck at poker! I lost all my shame a long time ago!
