Ch 230: Sometimes, Coaxing Your Wife Is Easy; Sometimes, It’s Hard

Returning home after eating lunch prepared by Phia herself, Bal took the exam papers to the study to grade them.

“Alright, let me see these children’s grades.”

Bal first graded the papers of the top students.

“Not bad at all, the highest score isn’t even Philia’s, promising future ahead.”

Next were the students who honestly gave up, this batch of papers were the easiest to grade.

“Hilarious, not a single one scored above 10.”

Finally, there were the papers of those cheating children. Bal spread out the papers of the top students to compare.

“Hmm, this paper copied answers from three people.”

“This kid, why does he keep picking on one sheep?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, the ultimate Frankenstein’s monster, he copied everything.”

“Whoa, he even changed ‘rotate once’ to ‘rotate for a week’?! Child, you are invincible.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, why copy someone who wrote nonsense, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

After witnessing the biodiversity of cheaters, Bal wrote comments on these exam papers one by one, then he called Phia over.

“Wife, wife, come and write comments.”

“So troublesome, can’t you just do it?”

“No way, some people cheated using magic, I can’t really detect those children’s methods.”

“Useless.”

“Yes, yes, I’m useless, so please let my most amazing Wife write the comments.”

Bal hugged Phia and kissed her. After Phia pinched Bal’s waist, she sat at the desk and started writing comments.

“Was Philia the highest score this time?”

Phia didn’t look up, she just casually asked.

“No, Philia was one point short.”

“Oh? That’s quite interesting. Bring that paper over and let me see it.”

Bal took out the highest-scoring paper and handed it to Phia. After carefully examining it, Phia put down the paper.

“Amazing, there’s actually someone who can surpass Philia.”

“Right, I didn’t expect it either.”

“But I remember this student’s practical skills aren’t that good, right?”

“Seems so.”

“Pay more attention to them then.”

After Phia wrote comments for the cheaters, Bal separated the graded exam papers, put them away in a drawer.

“Tomorrow is a rest day, what should we do?”

Bal sat on the sofa in the study, holding Phia in his arms.

“There seems to be a performance tomorrow.”

Phia said after thinking for a while. Bal felt a little bored upon hearing about the performance.

“What kind of performance?”

“Concert.”

“That’s boring, why not go fishing?”

“Hey, you really like fishing that much?”

Phia glared at Bal angrily.

“How could that be, I also like you, little kitty～”

Saying that, Bal started rubbing against Phia.

“Speaking of which, where’s your familiar, the little white cat?”

“What for?”

“I think it’s quite clingy to me.”

“Am I not enough?”

“Still my wife is better, after all, I can kiss and…”

Bal reached into Phia’s clothes and tickled her. After struggling to break free from Bal’s grip, Phia tidied her clothes.

“Lecherous dog!”

“I’m here～”

“Ugh! You’re infuriating!”

After saying that, Phia sat opposite Bal and sulked. Seeing his wife angry, Bal had to coax her, but coaxing his wife also requires skill.

Firstly, the first method is to appease his wife with food. This usually works on foodies. Bal sat beside Phia, he didn’t touch her directly.

“Alright, don’t be angry. Want some snacks? I’ll make them for you.”

“No, I’m not hungry.”

The first method failed, so he should try the second method, giving gifts. The choice of gifts is also a skill, one must choose something that the wife likes or is interested in.

“Then how about going to the magic item shop? I remember they got new stock recently.”

“No, boring.”

The second method also failed, now it’s clear that Phia is really unhappy. But Bal has a third method, although the method is not very decent, it is really useful. As the saying goes, couples quarrel at the bedside, make up at the bed’s foot, one shot makes up for the grudge.

Bal stood up and scooped Phia up in a princess carry.

“Meow! What are you doing?!”

“Back to the room.”

Realizing something’s wrong, Phia started struggling, but Bal’s embrace seems to have a special attack bonus against Phia. Phia, who can fight Bal 50/50 on the ground, loses her fighting strength once Bal holds her.

“Put me down!”

“No, if my wife doesn’t forgive me, I can only use this method.”

“Wait, I forgive you, put me down quickly!”

“A little late, little kitty.”

“Woo… Meow…”

After being carried into the room by Bal, Phia had a very happy time.

“Lecherous dog…”

“I’m here～”

“Don’t do that next time.”

“Yes～”

These are Bal’s three tricks to coax his wife, of course, only applicable to the two of them.

After Phia calmed down, she snuggled into Bal’s arms.

“What were the new items at the magic item shop you mentioned?”

“Let me think, it seems to be a magic item used to project recorded images.”

“Let’s go see it tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

After a while, Phia fell asleep in Bal’s arms. Bal looked at Phia’s sleeping face, gently rubbed her ears, then hugged Phia and fell asleep together.

Since Bal and Phia returned home, ate, and graded papers, Grey and Nia should have run into them, but they didn’t actually meet.

“Grey, what are we having for lunch?”

After showering, the two leaned on the sofa in the living room. Nia’s stomach grumbled uncontrollably, she was hungry.

“Let’s eat out, I remember Bal recommended a pizza place before, he said it was pretty good, just don’t order the pineapple pizza.”

“What?! How can there be heretics making pineapple pizza!”

“Don’t worry first, we can not order it.”

“But since Bal said that pizza is delicious, I’ll try it. Don’t look at Bal being easy to talk to, but he is very picky when it comes to pizza.”

“Okay, let’s go now.”

“Let’s go!”

After changing into their outdoor clothes, Nia and Grey went out. More than ten minutes after they left, Bal and Phia returned home. This was their first missed encounter.

After eating pizza, Nia and Grey walked home.

“It was really good, classic flavors are the true king!”

“Yeah, and you can ask for extra cheese, satisfying!”

The two strolled leisurely on the street. When they got home, Bal and Phia were in a room with a soundproof barrier, making up. Nia and Grey returned to their room, changed into their home clothes, and then lay down together for a nap. This was their second missed encounter.

Of course, once bitten, twice shy, they were bound to meet at dinner.

In the evening, urged by Xiaoyue, Bal and Phia went downstairs for dinner. Because Xiaoyue went out shopping today and didn’t know that Grey and Nia had already returned home, she didn’t call them.

“Grey, I’m so hungry, why isn’t dinner ready yet?”

The hungry little fox snuggled against Grey. Grey rubbed the little fox’s head, using detection magic to check the situation downstairs.

“Hmm? Dinner is already served downstairs.”

“What?! They didn’t even call us, that’s too much! Grey, let’s go eat!”

“Okay.”

After a while, Nia aggressively pulled Grey to the first floor. The four people who were eating dinner were stunned when they saw Grey and Nia.

“Grey, Nia, you’re back?” & “Why didn’t you call us for dinner?”

“Ah?”
