That was their hierarchy. Yomite was the top, and Hu Tao was the bottom. They both knew that, and accepted it.     

Even though many times he enjoyed being teased by her, ultimately, he was the one in charge.     

And Hu Tao was fine with that. She was the kind of person who'd willingly submit to him, not complain, and give him everything he wanted.     

Hence why he called her a dog, because she was willing to follow his every command and obey his orders and he thought it was adorable.     

"You're quite the naughty boy, aren't you?"     

"Indeed I am. Yet I'm also a gentleman who simply loves women who show me just a little bit of affection." Yomite replied, sticking his tongue out in response.     

"That you are."     

The two of them continued walking down the path, chatting until eventually Hu Tao ran up to them.     

"Assistant...I'm...so tired...could you carry me?" She had trouble speaking due to exhaustion of running around.     

"No."     

"Pwease!' She begged, looking up at him with puppy eyes which she knew would always work...     

"Can't you just walk? I swear...where is a cliff? Is there a cliff somewhere nearby?"     

"Waaah...that hurts...I'm gonna pout...waaah... Assistant is so mean to me!"     

"...Fine! I'll carry you! You're like a little child!"     

Yomite lifted Tao up onto his shoulder and carried her on for several minutes.     

"Aww...that feels sooo good...Thank you so much...Assistant...I looove you..."     

Hu Tao wrapped herself around his neck, hugging him tightly.     

Yomite's grumpy behavior was betrayed by a smile he let out.     

There was no doubt Hu Tao was incredibly cute; she was absolutely adorable and desirable as always.     

Interactions like this were normal for them.     

While to some it might have looked like a heated argument, it wasn't like they were arguing for real.     

It was just their way of teasing each other.     

"Woah, your hair is very soft Assistant!"     

"Okay...? Thanks? I do wash it every day."     

Not to mention, he ordered an expensive soap from Liyue a while ago, and since there were no shampoo's in this world, he was forced to scrub his hair with a soap.     

'Another thing to patent in this world as mine. A shampoo could make so much money...it's just so much more effective than a soap...I don't understand how the girls even clean their hair with it...especially Hu Tao...'     

He looked up at her, while she was busy playing with his hair.     

"So fluffy~"     

Her fingers were gently stroking Yomite's scalp. Each and every strand of his hair was being tickled and caressed by her touch.     

But comparing her hair with his was like comparing night and day.     

While Yomite's hair was relatively long, Hu Tao probably had the longest hair Yomite had ever seen on any woman.     

It reached all the way down to her knees if not tied up into a two high twintails, which meant it was almost impossible to comb through, unless you used a special brushing techniques or got someone's help.     

He couldn't imagine how long it took her to wash her hair, let alone dry it afterwards.     

Well, she had her Vision for drying, but if she wasn't careful, her hair could catch on fire...     

All in all, her hair needed extra care.     

Even though there were many disadvantages of having long hair, there were also quite a few advantages.     

One of the main reasons why Yomite loved her hair, was because he could use her twintails as handles when they were engaging in some "spicy" activities.     

The fact that it was so long made it easy to hold onto and he could even wrap it around his waist, sometimes, even around his little brother down there.     

It was a strange fetish, but it worked wonders. The sheer feeling of it enveloping his rod of destruction was indescribable, and he could spend minutes doing nothing else but indulging in it.     

The absence of shampoo in this world was a huge demerit to society. Same for the shower gel.     

Yomite truly felt like he could create a new market if he made a shampoo and a shower gel for girls.     

It would definitely sell, he just needed the right ingredients for it to work...and then he would mass-produce it and gain unimaginable wealth enough to feed his girls regularly and enjoy life.     

"Ugh...you're scratching my scalp too much...what are you...a cat? I thought you were a dog...." he complained.     

"Eheheh~"     

"Jeez...You're such a weirdo...but that's why I love you."     

...     

.     

.     

"...!?"     

Hu Tao froze at his words, stunned.     

"Did you just..."     

"..."     

Yomite wasn't the type of person to say these things to girls easily. These cheesy and sometimes even cringey lines were saved for special occasions, during the lovemaking act for example.     

So this time was clearly special, he wanted to make up to her after teasing her for too long about her being a dog.     

"I-Is that so...?"     

She began fiddling with her twintails again, as if trying to distract herself from the embarrassment of being caught off guard.     

She'd never felt so happy to hear him say he loved her. Even if it was in a joking manner, the sentiment was conveyed.     

Though she was unsure why he called her 'weirdo', she was obvious quite normal.     

Yomite had finally admitted it out loud, and she was glad to be the object of his affection.     

Hu Tao felt a warmth in her chest, and she couldn't help but smile. "W-Well, I feel the same way too~" she said and pulled his head closer to her. She couldn't resist anymore. She wanted to kiss him again!
