Chapter 317 : Betting Everything to Reach the Finish Line with You
And so, things became like this~
After Yicheng and Zhou Suling joined in, the already intense competition entered a white-hot stage.
Because of Lonis's pit stop at the rest area, Princess Sethilu took the lead, firmly occupying first place.
Though Yicheng joined late, she was catching up desperately, and before long was biting hard at Lonis's bottom. (Not actually biting)
The current situation became very difficult for the little fox. Any slight relaxation would let Yicheng overtake her, while Princess Sethilu was so fast that she couldn't catch up at all.
Continuing like this, she would be eliminated.
So Lonis's heart tightened, preparing to use her ultimate move.
"Wuu wuu wuu, wuu wuu wuu!"
"Hah? Little fox, what are you trying to tell me?"
"Woof woof, woof woof woof."
"!"
The scheming little loli was startled, not expecting the little fox to actively request turning on the little toy's switch.
Because the little toy not only had vibration and caressing functions, but also a crucial ability—electric shock. If electrical current continuously stimulated muscles, perhaps she could surpass her limits and catch up to Princess Sethilu?
But...
"Hmph, little fox, I can turn it on, but if you get shocked and squeal randomly, I won't show mercy."
"Meow meow woof!"
"Huh, really like a newborn calf not fearing tigers."
Sighing, Elucia activated the switch.
And Lonis? Like a go-kart with nitrous boost activated, she immediately raised her speed to the maximum. Not only did she leave Yicheng far behind, she even overtook Sethilu, running in first place.
"Wahh, we've been overtaken! Sister Sethilu!"
"Candel..."
Sethilu's pretty face reddened. Actually, since overtaking Lonis, she hadn't used her full strength.
First, to save the little fox's face—running too fast wouldn't be good.
Second, because Sethilu felt very ashamed... At this speed, she could still keep her skirt covering her bottom, but going faster might expose her panties.
But now...
Seeing Lonis, who was willing to be shocked just to take the lead, Sethilu suddenly understood something.
Competition doesn't allow holding back.
Because only in desperate situations can you experience that life-or-death resolve. Keeping reserves not only prevents you from learning anything, but also disrespects Lonis.
So...
"Candel, hold tight."
"Eh?"
"I'm also... accelerating!"
"Wahh, so fast!"
......
Sethilu also became a silver streak of light. The two silver-white girls chased each other like this, neck and neck.
But this made Zhou Suling anxious.
She had joined this race because she wanted to play with everyone. If she stayed in the back the whole time, wouldn't that be like being abandoned?
(I'm also everyone's companion, so I absolutely can't lose.)
Thinking this, Suling asked her teacher: "Yicheng, can you still accelerate..."
"Woof!"
"Is your body okay?"
"Woof!"
Yicheng's powerful response gave Suling sufficient confidence.
So the pink-haired girl held nothing back and shouted: "Charge, Yicheng-Suling!"
Crackle, clang clang.
The three participating girls, like three streaks of lightning, chased each other and came to the final stage of the competition.
The final sprint!
There were no techniques here, just pure competition of body and will.
As long as they crossed the finish line, the champion would be decided. So everyone gritted their teeth, preparing to turn things around in this final moment.
"Yi-Yicheng, do your best!"
"Woof!"
"Sister Sethilu, we..."
"Don't worry, Candel. I won't back down... because this is also recognition of the hero miss."
Though both competitors were neck and neck, still in first place was that little fox with the silver-white tail!
This was partly thanks to Elucia's skillful control. The scheming little loli seemed to be a genius rider—every time she tugged the fox ears for drifting turns, the timing was perfect, not wasting any excess energy.
Second was the crystallization of Lonis's special training these past days—the race track wasn't flat pavement, but occasionally had obstacles like fallen mops, scattered glass marbles, and randomly placed towels.
The little fox could always instinctively dodge, skillfully deploying all her strength.
So in this final stretch, Lonis was determined to win!
First place was hers.
She had to be first to cross the finish line and receive the champion's gaze!
But...
"Meow?!"
Lonis wanted to keep running, but a sudden ache in her palms made her lose balance.
Though she wanted to support herself with her other hand, immediately after, not just her hands but her legs also became weak and powerless.
Her white little tail could still wag, but couldn't support her body.
The little fox just collapsed on the ground like that.
"Lonis?!"
"Little Lo!"
Though the girls noticed the abnormality immediately, they had been going too fast before and couldn't brake in time.
Just like that, Sethilu and Yicheng successively reached the finish line, claiming 1st and 2nd place respectively.
And our little fox?
Fell forever before the finish line, not even completing the race.
What had happened?
It turned out...
Though Lonis had barely improved her muscle response and running speed with electrical stimulation,
Such stimulation was only temporary after all.
Even if she could convert pain to pleasure and let adrenaline flood her entire body in a desperate gamble,
The muscle fatigue itself had accumulated to an unignorable degree. Finally, just before reaching the finish line, it completely collapsed.
Realizing this,
The little fox despaired.
How much she wanted to win the championship, how much she hoped to stand happily on the podium with her master!
But now, she had become this pathetic sight.
Not only had she not finished the race, she had even thrown her master to the ground.
Would she be sold?
Would she be slaughtered?
After all, useless foxes should be eliminated... Lonis didn't dare turn around, didn't dare look at the little loli's disappointed gaze.
Despair and anxiety spread continuously in her heart, making this little fox tremble uncontrollably.
And just then...
The little loli spoke:
......
"Little fox, don't give up!"
"Wuu..."
"We haven't finished yet!"
......
Not finished?
But even trying to run, she couldn't move at all!
Lonis tried to extend her paw, but deep fatigue set in—she couldn't even lift a single finger now.
The finish line was only 3 meters away, but like an unreachable distance, it seemed so far.
Confusion...
Regret...
Just when Lonis wanted to give up...
The little fox was suddenly lifted up.
She raised her tail in shock, only to discover Elucia was holding her up, looking toward the front.
"The first part of the journey was hard work. Let me carry you to the finish line for this final stretch."
The little loli smiled slightly and just like that, carried Lonis toward the finish line.
