Chapter 134: Prey

Su Ling returned home to find Su Yao and Suzuki still asleep.

Su Ling pulled open the curtains and saw Suzuki hugging Hajimi, snoozing away.

‘She’s got some nerve.’

Come to think of it, after yesterday’s incident, the building they lived in nearly collapsed, but not a single tenant had run away.

Should she say they had great mental fortitude, or…

Well, the truth was they had nowhere else to go.

The Academy’s housing was extremely precious.

Even if the building really fell down, the students would still stay inside.

They’d rather die with the house!

“Morning~”

Su Yao and Suzuki groggily opened their eyes.

The next moment, a pile of beautiful clothes flew at them.

“Hehe, I’m a little rich woman now. I’ve got plenty of money. Here, gifts for you guys.”

Su Ling said proudly.

“Wow! There’s one for me too?”

Suzuki was surprised.

She eagerly unwrapped the package and found a blue-and-white hoodie.

Well… it didn’t really suit her.

After all, she had dark skin.

Blue and white made her look even darker.

Su Yao’s gifts were all kinds of cute skirts.

Su Yao flipped through them, looking a little shy.

‘R-return it…’

“Oh, come on! You’ll look great in them~ Be good, let me see~”

Su Ling picked up a white dress and stared at Su Yao expectantly.

Seeing this, Su Yao had no choice but to give Su Ling a doting look.

‘Can’t do anything with you.’

Meanwhile, downstairs.

A water-blue figure followed stealthily.

Water-blue hair, water-blue eyes.

She stared at the old, worn-down building and scratched her head.

It was You Ying.

‘Could I have been mistaken?’

Long Ying was also unsure.

Although she looked very similar, her temperament seemed different.

Should she go up and check?

She hesitated.

Finally, she made up her mind.

Whatever, she’d just go check.

Even if she was wrong, that girl was very much to her taste.

It wouldn’t hurt to get to know her.

Long Ying straightened her bangs, pulled out a mirror, and examined her own appearance.

Hehe, the reason she had so many girlfriends was because of her good looks.

To be a sea king, you need capital.

Without capital, you’re just a simp.

Long Ying was very confident in her conditions.

She wasn’t bad-looking, and she kept her figure well.

Knock knock

Su Ling, who was in the middle of dressing Su Yao in different beautiful outfits and feasting her eyes, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Her small face froze.

Who is it?

“I’ll get it.”

Suzuki was sensible enough to go open the door.

“By the way, where’s the sugar painting?”

Seizing the gap, Su Ling noticed that the sugar painting on the bedside table was gone.

“It was already gone when I came back. It probably shattered during the earthquake yesterday and was taken away by the construction crew.”

Su Yao also looked reluctant.

After all, it was a small token of remembrance.

She noticed that Su Ling had also bought some loli-sized outfits, and a hint of longing flickered in her eyes.

Their lives had improved now.

But there was still someone missing at home.

Su Ling’s heart felt a little heavy too.

“Su Ling, I think she’s here to see you.”

Just then, Suzuki’s voice came.

Su Ling was taken aback.

She exchanged a glance with Su Yao and then walked toward the door.

At the door stood a water-blue dragon lady.

Her blue hair cascaded like seawater, interspersed with a few ice-crystal-like light blue highlights, gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight outside the door.

The fine hair on her forehead fell softly, contrasting with the delicate blue-and-white leaf-shaped hair ornaments at her ears.

The elder sister’s eyes were a clear ice blue, like a frozen thousand-year cold pool, with slightly uptipped corners, carrying a hint of aloof and fragile coolness.

“Hm? Who are you?”

Su Ling asked, puzzled.

She remembered—wasn’t this the person she ran into at the store entrance just now?

“My name is Long Ying, a third-year student from the Ice Academy.”

Long Ying spoke, her voice cold and distant.

Of course, that was all an act.

Sometimes, the more aloof she acted, the more those naive little girls would flock to cling to her.

It never failed.

But she forgot about her current online reputation.

After all, she rarely went online.

When Suzuki heard the name Long Ying, her expression changed drastically.

Although she didn’t know Long Ying’s face well, the name was thunderous.

Some of her former clients had complained to her about this person.

Bam!

The next moment, Suzuki slammed the door shut.

Long Ying was left frustrated.

‘Looks like I was recognized?’

‘Ugh, maybe I should make a smurf account?’

‘When you drift through the world, you really need a smurf.’

Inside the room, Suzuki turned around, glanced at the puzzled Su Ling and Su Yao, and shrugged.

“This person… you can look her up online.”

“Her glorious deeds are all over the forum.”

“I don’t know how you caught her attention, but you’d better not get involved with her.”

That sea king—being targeted by her was just bad luck.

Su Ling and Su Yao exchanged a look and started searching.

Sure enough, the moment they searched, countless posts popped up.

[Heartbreaker Long Ying! Dated ninety-eight girlfriends, never a single one made it!]

[Be warned! Be warned! Don’t be fooled by that lustful dragon’s looks! She’s a sea king! She doesn’t even spare little lolis!]

[Boo hoo, Long Ying you bastard! I got a call from you at my wedding. I ran away to find you, but you said you forgot your wallet and asked to borrow five bucks for a pancake! Are you human?!]

Su Ling and Su Yao were completely dumbfounded.

Seriously, how could someone be so outrageous?

Just then, a few charming fragments flashed through Su Ling’s mind.

“Wow, your hands are so small.”

The beautiful dragon lady had a wicked smile.

“Hee hee, it’s such a waste that you’re here. Be my girlfriend, and I’ll support you for life.”

She remembered.

Before, in the Lower City, this Long Ying had been her customer…

Su Ling felt a little uneasy.

‘Jeez, the Witch Empire is so big, why do I keep running into my old customers!’

Su Ling was speechless.

But at least she hadn’t fallen for that liar’s promise of supporting her for life. Pfft, it was probably another scam.

She had actually been a bit tempted back then, but she had told her about her family situation—her missing mother, her alcoholic mother, her blind younger sister, and their destitute home.

That person had vanished instantly.

Tsk, a true heartbreaker indeed.

“Oh, she seems to have left.”

Suzuki checked the surveillance camera outside and saw Long Ying apparently walking away.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

“Junior, take my advice. Stay far away from her from now on.”

“Also, big sister—she doesn’t even spare the loli who serves food in the cafeteria. With a beauty like you, don’t fall into her trap.”

Suzuki looked at Su Yao and kindly warned.

Su Yao nodded frantically.

Meanwhile, Su Ling was rubbing her chin, a smirk curling at the corner of her lips.

Hehe, she had been worrying about not having a prey.
