Chapter 92 Strange Gazes

“Good, so thirsty…”

Su Ling felt as if she were in an endless desert, parched and desperate.

Her body felt like a leech was clinging to her, soft and squishy, draining the moisture from her system at a rapid pace.

The strangest part was that the leech was soft and smelled pleasant, leaving Su Ling unable to tell what it actually was.

“Ha, ha…”

Su Ling snapped her eyes open, gasping for air.

Her waist and back ached as if her entire body had fallen apart.

She felt immense soreness the moment she tried to move.

She rubbed her arms, staring at the lip prints and tooth marks on her skin, and fell into a heavy silence.

It all came back to her.

“Luo Qianxue!”

Su Ling frantically searched for that bastard’s silhouette.

Didn’t she promise to be gentle with her?

How did she wake up feeling like she had been ravaged by 100 Little Lolis?

But as she scanned her surroundings, her pupils constricted.

Wait, this… something isn’t right, is it?

She was currently in a luxury hotel suite.

A massive floor-to-ceiling window offered a view of the outside.

Warm sunlight poured in, making it difficult for her to keep her eyes open.

Su Ling sat stunned on the bed for 1 second.

She hurriedly threw off the quilt.

She was fully dressed.

It was as if last night in that basement, as if everything that happened, had just been her own hallucination.

If not for the soreness racking her body and the incredibly shameful lip prints and tooth marks all over her, she really would have thought everything from last night was a dream.

“Luo Qianxue! You scoundrel!”

She endured the soreness and searched the room, but the spacious suite was completely devoid of Luo Qianxue.

‘No way, I didn’t just get played by a cheapskate, did I?’

Su Ling rolled her eyes.

‘And so much for that 500,000.’

Sure enough, a woman’s mouth is where lies are born.

Forget it, it wasn’t a total loss since she was played by a beautiful girl…

“Wait, this is a huge loss!”

Su Ling rubbed her long white hair, looking at herself in the mirror.

The pink lip prints on her collarbone and slender neck were so conspicuous, and her face was full of resentment.

How was she supposed to scrub these off?

Su Ling was completely out of options.

“Bzz bzz—”

The smartphone on the bed vibrated.

“Ling Ling, where are you? Why didn’t you return my calls all night?”

It was Su Yao.

Su Yao’s tone was filled with tears.

Even though Su Ling had told her she wouldn’t be back because of something important, she was still worried.

She had called so many times last night, but Su Ling hadn’t answered a single one.

“I… I’m fine… Wait, why is it 7:30?”

Su Ling checked the time and realized it was already 7:30 AM.

“I’ll explain later. Let’s head to the Maid Cafe first. See you there.”

“Hey!”

After hurriedly hanging up, Su Ling rushed into the bathroom to freshen up before sprinting out of the hotel.

Today was her first day on the job.

She couldn’t afford to be late.

However, while riding the elevator, Su Ling felt as if various gazes were fixed on her.

Su Ling looked toward the source of the gazes in confusion, but they would immediately vanish.

When she looked down to scroll on her smartphone, she kept hearing bits of whispering.

“Is that her?”

“I think so…”

“My god…”

The elevator doors opened, and Su Ling stepped out.

Even the hotel reception staff gave her a look of utter astonishment.

What on earth was going on?

Su Ling couldn’t help but look back, but those who had been whispering quickly lowered their heads, looking guilty.

So strange.

Su Ling felt a sense of agitation.

Waking up in a strange hotel, surrounded by passersby whispering about her, and the madness of last night…

If she weren’t in such a rush to get to the Maid Cafe, she would have really liked to find out exactly what was happening.

Watching Su Ling’s retreating figure, several passersby huddled together, holding up their phones.

‘If you’re thirsty go drink water, why are you pulling my legs’: “My god, the leak from last night was actually true! Luo Qianxue’s rumored girlfriend is really here!”

‘Big sister is the wife mom gave to little sister’: “Wait, I thought it was just a rumor? Doesn’t Luo Qianxue practice the Path of Heartlessness? How does she actually have a girlfriend?”

‘Shen Yuan Niu Fu’: “Hehe, who doesn’t know the Path of Heartlessness makes for the most perfect wife? Witches of the Sequence【Charm】love the Path of Heartlessness the most.”

That was also true.

Witches on the Path of Heartlessness were pure, loyal, and powerful.

Once captured, one would gain a perfect wife who would never betray them.

Witches of the Sequence【Charm】, especially those from the Witch’s Hut, all made capturing Path of Heartlessness witches their goal.

Quite a few witches of the Path of Heartlessness had fallen to the Witch’s Hut before.

Luo Qianxue had been the one with the most potential to master the Path of Heartlessness, but now, tsk tsk, things were looking difficult.

07 Witch’s Hut.

Tian Tian was scrolling through the post, stroking her chin.

Such a familiar silhouette.

“Is that Student Su Ling?”

Lilith leaned over, her massive evil pinning Tian Tian’s small face to the side.

Tian Tian slapped her away in annoyance, but the next moment, the swaying motion left her feeling dizzy.

“I think it looks like her.”

Qing Luan stood to the side, speaking silently.

Wearing her usual green Daoist robe, with practically nothing underneath as always—it was quite suggestive.

“Why haven’t you two gone to work yet?”

“Nobody is looking for us.”

Lilith spread her hands.

They had botched Adela’s previous commission and had even been dragged into the Student Council.

Not only did they fail to get paid, but they also owed Tian Tian a massive debt.

With this failed commission, employers wanted nothing to do with them, so the two of them had been quite free these past few days.

But they had come to terms with it.

It wasn’t a big deal; they already owed so much debt that a few more credits didn’t matter.

Because of this, they had decided to slack off and had been clinging to Tian Tian for the past few days.

Veins bulged on Tian Tian’s forehead.

“Get away from me! If you keep doing this, see if I don’t add you both to the set menu.”

The set menu was the most popular item at the Witch’s Hut.

Yes, it was exactly what you were thinking.

Lilith, however, just smiled cheekily.

“Do it then. Since we owe so much debt anyway, getting ‘that’ done a few times to pay it off is actually a pretty good deal.”

Surrender.

Tian Tian surrendered completely.

“Don’t change the subject. I’m telling you, that’s definitely Student Su Ling. Impressive, she’s so talented that even Luo Qianxue was taken down.”

Lilith nudged Tian Tian, her massive evil bouncing against her face.

Tian Tian glared at her.

“She’s definitely a good seedling, just don’t know if she wants to step onto the【Charm】Sequence.”

The【Charm】Sequence was a road of no return.

Su Ling hurried as fast as she could and finally made it on time.

But when she arrived at the Maid Cafe, the atmosphere felt strange.

When Cheng Cheng saw her, she wore an expression of wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Meanwhile, the receptionist, Keke, looked at her with pure adoration.

“Manager, I didn’t… didn’t I make it in time?” Su Ling asked, panting.

“Ling Ling, where on earth were you last night?”

Su Yao rushed over and hugged her tight.

She hadn’t slept a wink all night.

Su Ling had said she wouldn’t be back, but in a place where she didn’t know anyone, how could she possibly be at ease?

“Haha, I went out to hang out with a friend last night. It’s fine, really.”

Friend, my foot.

Cheng Cheng and Keke stared at the lip prints on Su Ling’s neck, their mouths twitching.

“About that…”

Cheng Cheng was just about to speak when a cold, clear voice interrupted her.

“Today is the official opening, right?”

Hearing that voice, Su Ling’s petite body trembled.

She hurriedly looked back.

Sure enough, it was none other than Luo Qianxue!
