Chapter 26: Not good, my job

Inside the office.

The electronic glow from the computer screen lit up Director Wang’s face.

His gold-rimmed glasses reflected white, and the corners of his lips curved into a pleased smile.

That’s right—it was him.

He had released a special electronic virus and taken control of Luo Xixue’s phone.

He wasn’t the type to give up easily!

The harder it was to get, the less he wanted to let go!

Director Wang was an Evolver, A-rank, who had awakened the power of Hypnosis—but he’d never told anyone.

Right now, he was using his ability, wiping it over his own face.

In the eyes of others, his appearance was distorted—not his real face.

Director Wang was very cautious.

He checked the time—almost there.

The image on the computer screen began to shift.

Director Wang’s breathing quickened, and his heart raced.

He was about to unbuckle his belt.

Suddenly, his movements froze!

On the computer screen, the golden badge of the Enforcement Bureau was flashing.

A burly Enforcement Officer sat in a computer chair, staring at Director Wang with a dark expression.

“Quite bold, daring to hack into our Enforcement Bureau’s network.”

“And even daring to unbuckle your belt in front of me…”

“Bastard, you’re really brave!”

“I’m telling you!”

The burly man gave a thumbs up!

“If you can escape, you’re this!”

He flipped the thumb down!

“If I don’t catch you, I’m this!”

Bang!

With the fastest reflexes of his life, Director Wang smashed his own computer, sending it crashing to the floor.

Wisps of black smoke curled up.

Sparks flashed.

Director Wang’s furious roar echoed in the room!

“Damn it… Why did it turn out like this?!”

“This isn’t right—this is all wrong!”

He immediately looked down, sadness flashing in his eyes.

Ruined.

Softened.

Would this leave a psychological shadow? Would it ever get up again?!

The sickly silver-haired, silver-eyed girl had suddenly turned into a burly Enforcement Officer, with a thick patch of chest hair spilling from the collar—enough to suffocate him!

Who wouldn’t be scared out of their mind?!

It had been going so smoothly before…

Wait!

Director Wang thought of someone.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he couldn’t help but roar in a low voice.

“Ye Kui!!!”

Ye Kui: Ah-choo!

In the school infirmary.

Ye Kui sneezed.

He didn’t know who was thinking about him.

Luo Xixue put away her phone and gave Ye Kui a gentle smile.

“Teacher, thank you so much!”

“But no—just saying it isn’t enough to express my gratitude!”

That’s right.

Luo Xixue blinked, then raised both hands to hug Ye Kui’s arm!

“Teacher, you’re amazing!”

“Squeeze squeeze~”

Ye Kui’s face was expressionless as he picked up Luo Xixue and set her on the wheelchair.

“Does the teacher get excited? Ah!”

Luo Xixue clutched her forehead again.

Ye Kui’s forehead was covered in black lines.

“You’re flat everywhere, so stop doing that.”

And that little lip-biting tease just now—she looked exactly like a little female devil, making his fists clench.

Of course, he meant his fists.

Luo Xixue wanted to say something else, but suddenly her sharp eyes caught sight of something slipping out of Ye Kui’s pocket…

A foot massage coupon?

It landed on her lap.

Luo Xixue picked it up, examined it back and forth, her expression growing strange as she stared at the frozen Ye Kui, her willow brows arching.

“Teacher, this is…”

“That, Luo Xixue, it’s not what you think, listen, I can explain!”

Ye Kui: No—my job!

Luo Xixue deftly put away the massage coupon, lifted a strand of hair, and tucked it behind her small ear, her smile shimmering.

“Teacher, actually, I also know a bit about foot massage techniques…”

Ye Kui: ???

No—my job!!!

In a dark corner nearby, a little octopus stared coldly at Luo Xixue, its tentacles writhing slowly.

It wrapped around a small stone and easily crushed it to powder.

This silver-haired little brat was ruining her plans!

Zina, of course, had noticed the massage coupon—but she pretended not to see.

Because Zina planned to wait until Ye Kui went to use the coupon for a massage, transform into human form, knock out the female technician, put on a Mask, and replace her to give Ye Kui a foot massage!

Both proper and improper activities—she had it all planned!

A perfect chance to learn her Master’s XP!

Perfect!

But now, Luo Xixue had ruined it!

Zina felt she had been tolerant enough.

She’d let Luo Xixue occupy Ye Kui for so long.

Because Luo Xixue’s palm had truly bled.

As a well-behaved little pet, Zina never interfered with her Master’s work.

But now, Zina couldn’t take it anymore!

Enough whining—since you’re healed, stay away from my Master!

Zina climbed onto Ye Kui’s shoulder, waving her little tentacle.

With a ‘pa’ sound, she slapped Luo Xixue’s face.

Luo Xixue was bewildered.

Her cheek was wet and sticky—what the heck?

She looked closer.

It was a pink little octopus, showing off at her with pride.

It looked strangely familiar.

“Teacher, this octopus looks like the one you keep.”

“It is the one I keep.”

Ye Kui teased Zina.

As his fingers approached, a few pink tentacles wrapped around them, suction cups sticking, clear slime slowly oozing.

Luo Xixue stared, wanting to pet Zina—but from the octopus’s eyes, she saw hostility?

And—showing off?

Luo Xixue glanced at Ye Kui.

His eyes were gentle and smiling, and the pink octopus filled his dark pupils.

Luo Xixue fell silent, her small hand unconsciously clutching her skirt, fingers wrinkling the fabric.

Suddenly, she looked up and smiled brightly.

Her small hand released the skirt.

“Little octopus—so cute.”

Right, it was just an octopus… No way it could turn into a person, right?

Luo Xixue felt refreshed, humming a little tune without realizing it.

Ye Kui: “Luo Xixue, you seem lively enough—shouldn’t you be heading to class?”

Luo Xixue’s smile froze.

—

Director Wang realized that Ye Kui was truly his nemesis.

When he tried to do something bad in the Grove, Ye Kui almost caught him.

He barely escaped, and when he tried to continue in the Sports Equipment Warehouse, Ye Kui showed up again.

Angry, he ran to the abandoned Old Dormitory, thinking it was impossible to get interrupted again—only to find Ye Kui at the corner, waving hello.

Director Wang looked down at his Comrade, once again scared soft.

Director Wang: Ye Kui, I will never share the same sky with you!!!

Ye Kui felt a little troubled.

Why did he always catch Director Wang doing bad things?

Searching for the missing Zina, he went to the Grove and found Director Wang seemingly trying to do something wrong to a female student.

Chasing after Zina, he entered a Sports Equipment Warehouse, only to discover Director Wang there, hands wandering on another girl?

In the Old Dormitory, after catching the escaping Zina, he looked up and saw Director Wang.

There was even an unconscious female student beside him.

It was all very suspicious.

Ye Kui: Director Wang, what a coincidence.

—

Zina was about to explode.

She had finally managed to lure Ye Kui to the Grove, hoping to transform into human form, pretend to be a stranger, and “accidentally” fall into Ye Kui’s arms, feeling his broad and warm embrace.

She never expected a man would ruin it!

She thought the warehouse was secluded enough—but then that man showed up again and ruined her plans a second time!

Surely, in the deserted Old Dormitory, everything would go smoothly!

But no—turning a corner, she ran into Director Wang yet again!

Her plan failed once more!

She just wanted to get close to her Master in human form, throw herself into his arms, and erase Luo Xixue’s scent…

Why was it so hard?

Zina: Damn it, I’m going to strangle him with my tentacles!!!
