Chapter 62: Awakened?

The Young Lady was truly shameless.

To think she would come up with such a wicked idea.

After hearing the solution Penelope had devised, Su Mengdie expressed her clear disapproval of using the Young Lady’s methods.

She was a proper Magical Girl, the embodiment of justice.

How could she use a rogue tactic like a DDoS attack against ordinary people?

Even if she won, it wouldn’t be honorable.

What?

You say she used a cheat when she fought the Young Lady before?

The Young Lady was the Evil Executive Canary.

What was wrong with a Magical Girl using a cheat against an Evil Executive?

As long as she could win, she wouldn’t even mind using a honey trap or…

Ahem.

Forget it.

With the Young Lady’s temper, a honey trap might actually turn into something real.

She still needed to find a proper way to deal with her in the future.

“So, Xiao Die, are you planning to win with skill?”

Win with skill?

The Young Lady thinks too highly of me.

If she could win with skill, would she even be here discussing underhanded methods?

“Anyway, I’ll work hard using my own abilities. As for what you decide to do, Young Lady, that’s your business. It has nothing to do with me.”

Su Mengdie crossed her arms and stole a glance at Penelope.

She had made herself clear enough, right?

Winning was a must.

If the Jinzhi Family really went bankrupt, the loss would be enormous.

Therefore, Su Mengdie wouldn’t do anything wrong, but she wouldn’t stop the Young Lady either.

“Xiao Die… you really are a little fox. Fine. We’ll prepare for both scenarios. If you can win on your own, that’s for the best. I can grant you one condition that isn’t too excessive as thanks.”

“Eh? Are you serious, Young Lady… you’re not joking?”

Su Mengdie almost thought she was hallucinating from wanting to win too badly.

That would be easy.

Penelope leaned closer to her cheek with a mischievous smile.

“Young Lady!?”

What is she trying to do?

Faced with the sudden closeness, a red blush slowly spread across Su Mengdie’s face.

Her small hands pressed against Penelope’s chest to stop her from getting closer.

We’re master and servant.

It’s not right to do this.

Looking at the cheeks flushing like ripe fruit, Penelope immediately understood what Su Mengdie was thinking.

Little idiot.

Her thoughts are written all over her face.

But there was no need to worry.

Penelope hadn’t planned anything like that.

As the heartbeat under her palm sped up, Su Mengdie turned her head away and shyly closed her eyes.

I don’t care anymore.

Even if the Young Lady forced it, she had already turned her face and resisted.

If Penelope teased her later, she could say she resisted but couldn’t match the Young Lady’s strength.

But in the next moment, a sharp burning pain spread across her cheek.

Hiss.

“That hurts! Young Lady, what was that for!”

Su Mengdie clutched her swollen cheek, glaring at Penelope with teary eyes.

Is she crazy?

Even if she wanted to mock me for thinking too much, there was no need to do it like this.

The Young Lady’s carelessness with her own body made Su Mengdie feel like her hesitation had made her look foolish.

“Didn’t Xiao Die think she was dreaming? I’m just helping you wake up.”

Penelope covered her mouth and giggled, as if hiding something.

If Su Mengdie hadn’t been blinded by anger, she might have noticed the faint trace of foundation at the corner of Penelope’s lips.

The Young Lady had actually given her a quick peck.

But it was so fast that the sting on her cheek covered the feeling completely.

“Hmph. Then the condition you mentioned is real too?”

Su Mengdie snorted coldly, determination burning in her eyes.

Even if the chance was small, she would win this time.

Then she would make the Young Lady pay for pinching her face.

“Of course. But honestly, I think you’re dreaming a little, Xiao Die. If you really can win, I’ll even give myself to you as a gift.”

Since Su Mengdie couldn’t win anyway, Penelope was just teasing her for fun.

Her restless mood only settled when she saw Xiao Die’s helplessly angry face.

“Fine. You said it, Young Lady. Don’t regret it later.”

Since the Young Lady kept provoking her, Su Mengdie couldn’t stay timid anymore.

Otherwise, she really would be looked down on.

After all, her grades were always at the top of her class.

How hard could a game be?

She just hadn’t been serious before.

“Yes, I said it. If I regret it, I’m a puppy.”

Noticing the change in Su Mengdie’s expression, Penelope’s voice suddenly became softer.

That determined look…

Could Xiao Die really beat that person?

Penelope calmed down and thought for a moment before adding,

“Xiao Die, if you really win, remember that the request can’t be too excessive…”

Looking at the fire in Su Mengdie’s eyes, Penelope realized she might have spoken too boldly.

But because of her pride as the Young Lady, she didn’t take back her words.

She only added a condition.

However, to Su Mengdie, that condition didn’t matter.

Whether it was excessive or not wouldn’t be up to the Young Lady later.

Since she had bragged so much, did she really expect mercy?

Just wait.

She would make the Young Lady regret those words, just like the time she underestimated Swallowtail when she first transformed into Canary.

That night, when Penelope came out after her bath, she found Su Mengdie still sitting in front of the computer.

On the desk, the notebook that had been blank earlier was now filled with notes, warnings, and strategies.

While drying her long black hair, Penelope glanced at the pages.

Suddenly, she froze.

She had written a similar guide before, but it had taken her weeks to discover those details.

And Xiao Die had finished it in just one day?

No way…

“Xiao Die, this guide…”

Penelope looked up, about to ask if she had copied it, when she saw Su Mengdie move like a completely different person.

Her hands moved smoothly across the keyboard, controlling the character with perfect precision.

In less than half a minute, she cleared the stage flawlessly.

Is it possible…

Did she really awaken?

If the Young Lady had only been a little worried before, now she was completely terrified.

At that moment, Su Mengdie lightly kicked the floor and spun around in her chair with a smile.

“Young Lady… don’t go back on your word when the time comes.”
