“Th-that…”
Su Ling’s heart jumped into her throat.
There’s surveillance here, stay calm!
“Do you really not recognize me anymore? Su Ling…”
Luo Qianxue’s eyes were very dim at this moment.
Su Ling huddled in the corner.
The lingering scent on the other woman was a bitter, herbal fragrance; just smelling it made one feel spiritually cleansed.
Yet, the desire in the eyes of this Sword Immortal, who appeared as if she did not touch the worldly life, was the most intense Su Ling had ever seen in her life.
It was even more overpowering than Ji Lingyuan’s.
Su Ling racked her brain to remember.
This gaze, she was indeed very familiar with it.
But she could not recall it no matter how hard she tried.
“Mm!”
Suddenly, Su Ling felt a softness on her lips.
A small snake slipped into her mouth, frantically claiming territory.
Su Ling’s eyes widened instantly.
In an instant, the memories of that night flooded into her mind.
She hurriedly pushed Luo Qianxue away, looking at her in shock.
“It’s you!”
This kiss, there was no mistake.
How could it be her customer!
Su Ling was on the verge of a breakdown.
No, why could she run into a previous customer at the Witch Academy?
“Remembered?”
Luo Qianxue’s index finger twitched slightly; this was a sign of her extreme excitement.
Su Ling turned her head away with a blushing face.
It was shameful to say, but while she might not have much of an impression of beautiful girls, she remembered every single kiss from them.
“H-how are you here?”
Su Ling shifted her body.
The blurred memories of that night flashed before her eyes.
That night, Luo Qianxue had been very reserved at first, like a piece of wood, and she herself had to take the initiative.
But then, something triggered; the other woman seemed like a completely different person, spiraling into madness.
She frantically demanded from her, and no matter how many times she begged for mercy, the other woman acted as if she couldn’t hear, tormenting her like a beast.
That was definitely not a good memory.
If she had to choose between Ji Lingyuan and Luo Qianxue, she would definitely choose Ji Lingyuan.
Although Ji Lingyuan was a pervert, the later version of Luo Qianxue was a pervert among perverts.
“I am a third-year student at the Kendo Academy in the Witch Academy.”
Luo Qianxue twirled Su Ling’s snow-white hair, her gaze fixed on her slender neck and delicate collarbone.
Tsk…
The marks she had left before had completely vanished.
Thinking that ninety-eight other witches, including herself, had possessed Su Ling, she felt a wave of irritation.
I really, really want to lock her up and torment her properly…
Su Ling shifted uneasily.
Luo Qianxue had no trace of a high-cold goddess now; she looked entirely like a sexually frustrated pervert.
“I told you before that I was just traveling to the Azure Star.”
Her master had said her swordsmanship was too rigid, lacking any change.
While she could rely on her level to crush her peers, she had no chance of winning against other geniuses.
So, her master suggested she go to the depths of the turbulent sea to experience the myriad changes of the ocean.
But just as she successfully realized a sliver of changing Sword Intent, she passed by that lower city district and saw that thin girl under the neon lights.
It was as if some existence had controlled her brain, and she walked up to that girl.
Su Ling finally remembered everything and smiled awkwardly.
Well, she had thought the other person was lying to her at the time.
After all, who goes on a trip to their Lower City?
“That, the most expensive package is 100,000, right? Okay, I’ll first…”
“Wait, is this the regular one…”
“What about the non-regular one?”
“Th-this…”
Su Ling’s eyes darted around.
Working as a Fuli Ji before was to pay off debts.
And now… well, she was indeed still in debt.
Boohoo, why does she end up in debt wherever she goes?
“Th-that, there is surveillance here.”
Su Ling glanced at the ceiling, hinting.
At least don’t talk about things not suitable for children here!
“Then come home with me.”
Luo Qianxue grabbed Su Ling’s wrist.
“Stop, stop, stop, wait a second!”
Such a familiar scene.
Su Ling hurriedly held onto Luo Qianxue.
She had to confirm if this person in front of her was cut from the same cloth as Ji Lingyuan.
After all, she was already entangled with Ji Lingyuan, and now another one like Luo Qianxue had appeared; she really couldn’t handle it.
“You tell me first, what exactly do you want to do?”
She wasn’t doing that work anymore.
At least, not for now.
“Be my girlfriend.”
“Impossible.”
Su Ling replied flatly.
No, big sister, did you all agree on this?
We only have a “snuggling” relationship, so why jump straight to asking me to be your girlfriend?
Luo Qianxue stared at her, which made Su Ling feel somewhat creeped out.
“Th-that, if it’s just the previous service, I’m okay with that, but being a girlfriend or whatever, I really can’t do it.”
One Ji Lingyuan was already enough.
“Fine, then the previous service.”
Luo Qianxue didn’t press the matter further.
This actually stunned Su Ling.
Eh?
Su Ling’s small face turned red instantly.
So she really was just hungry.
“B-but I’m working right now,” Su Ling said in a low voice.
Thinking of the “later version” of Luo Qianxue, she couldn’t help but shiver.
A cold, fairy-like figure like Luo Qianxue was the most prone to massive personality shifts, as she had already experienced.
“Then I’ll wait for you.”
Luo Qianxue released Su Ling’s wrist and cupped her small face.
Su Ling closed her eyes instinctively.
The bitter fragrance washed over her, but there was no expected kiss.
Su Ling slowly opened her eyes and saw those very complex black pupils.
There was reluctance, pain, and confusion.
Su Ling saw her own reflection in those dark eyes.
“That, actually, you don’t really want to do this, right? You have your reasons, don’t you?”
Su Ling felt she could still try to talk her out of it.
“Think about your path, think about your studies; you don’t need to spend your energy on me.”
Su Ling said earnestly, thinking of Luo Qianxue’s status in the Kendo Academy.
It seemed she had really hit the mark, as a struggle flashed through Luo Qianxue’s eyes.
“I…”
Luo Qianxue thought about the Path of Heartlessness she had already broken, her master who held high expectations for her, and the younger disciples who admired her.
After a moment, she slowly let go.
It worked!
Su Ling’s eyes lit up.
To avoid getting ravished, she was giving it her all.
“Right, right? Besides, I’m not that great of a person, I’m not exactly a ‘clean’ girl, and there are plenty of girls better than me. You really don’t need this.”
“Think about it, we only met once, and I have a serious job now. I don’t want to make my boss and my mom worry about me.”
“Besides, that was just a fleeting pleasure. Once time passes and you calm down, you will definitely regret it.”
“Just let it go, let it go.”
Damn it, I’m going for it!
Luo Qianxue remained silent.
She quietly walked out of the private room, went to the seat she had occupied earlier, and watched the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
She thought about the secret technique written in the scroll Jian Yan had given her.
To return to the Path of Heartlessness was simple: just kill the person who broke your path.
She had only intended to trick Su Ling into going back alone so she could strike.
But the moment she walked out the door, she remembered her master’s teachings.
“The way of the sword takes the sword as the heart; if your sword heart is broken, you have entered the demonic path.”
If she killed Su Ling for the sake of the Path of Heartlessness, the path would be restored, but what about her swordsmanship?
“A sword is only wielded for the weak, only wielded against the stronger.”
Su Ling was completely innocent; it was she herself who couldn’t restrain herself and broke the Path of Heartlessness.
What… on earth am I doing?
Luo Qianxue felt deep terror.
At the same time, she felt a sense of lonely helplessness.
She seemed to have become more bloodthirsty.
“Here, have a drink to relax.”
At this moment, a cup of green tea was handed to her.
She looked up and saw Su Ling’s gentle, smiling face.
Off to the side, Su Yao was watching a short drama while practicing maid poses.
“My treat, it’s free~”
Su Ling still felt a bit worried and continued to persuade Luo Qianxue.
“I can tell you are under a lot of pressure right now. While I don’t know what it is, people always need to look forward, you know?”
“The way you are now, you’re clearly just suffering from internal friction.”
Su Ling chattered on and on.
It was all “chicken soup” for the soul she had learned online.
Luo Qianxue took a sip of the tea.
Although it couldn’t compare to the tea from Yunhai Peak, it was the best cup of tea she had ever tasted.
Listening to Su Ling’s slightly noisy advice, the corners of her mouth lifted by four pixels.
So noisy… but, it’s also quite lively.
For a moment, the bloodthirsty desire in her heart dimmed significantly.
Looking at Su Ling, who was sneakily checking the quotes of “chicken soup” on her phone under the table while trying to counsel her, her index finger twitched.
Tsk, I’m a little hungry.
