Chapter 19: You Smell So Good!

Su Ling’s performance today made Ji Lingyuan very satisfied.

Look, this is what a girlfriend should be like.

Ji Lingyuan looked down at Su Ling, who was clinging to her like a little bird, then at the envious looks from passersby.

Her vanity was thoroughly satisfied.

She only brought S with her today.

S followed behind the two, but she slightly turned her head toward the rear, where a flurried figure quickly dodged out of sight.

‘Tsk, a vain master, a scheming Miss Su Ling, and a reluctant Strawberry Little Cake.’

S sighed inwardly.

‘Witches are truly hard to understand.’

As an Automaton, she saw everything clearly.

Unfortunately, she was just an Automaton Maid; as long as Ji Lingyuan was happy, that was all that mattered.

“Dammit! Ji Lingyuan!”

This was a bustling commercial street, with white lights flashing from time to time as Witches arrived via Space Teleportation.

In a corner, a pink figure watched the three people in the distance.

Seeing the intimate behavior of the two in front, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

“Huahua, forget it. You two have already broken up.”

The one tracking Ji Lingyuan was her ex-girlfriend, Hua Feihua.

Since a Witch’s Folding Space is private territory, it is impossible to find without specific spatial coordinates.

Since their breakup, Ji Lingyuan had changed her Folding Space coordinates, making it impossible for her to find her.

She had managed to corner Ji Lingyuan at a restaurant last time, only to see her with a new lover.

And she was so beautiful!

“I’m not satisfied! Wuu wuu wuu, Rourou, I’m really not satisfied!”

“They had been childhood friends since Hatching!”

‘Does twenty-odd years of companionship really not stand up against someone who just appeared out of nowhere?’

Hua Feihua hugged the silver-haired girl beside her and wailed.

The girl named Rourou was her roommate.

Rourou had silver-gray curly hair with blue highlights, and the ends of her hair featured a gradient effect.

She wore rabbit-ear-shaped accessories on her head along with a pair of purple goggles, which were currently pushed up to her forehead, framing her small, exquisite face.

Her upper body was covered by a white fur-collared crop top jacket, the zipper pulled up just enough to reveal her slender waist.

She paired this with low-rise fishnet shorts decorated with streamers.

One leg was clad in a fishnet stocking while the other was bare.

On her feet were athletic boots, and she was equipped with a portable knife.

Rourou was currently playing a game.

Disturbed by Hua Feihua, she made a mistake and lost the round.

Looking at the word “Defeat” on the screen, Rourou sighed.

She looked at the pitiful Hua Feihua and slapped her own forehead in frustration.

“What use is there in being unsatisfied? You’ve already broken up. Besides, the Student Council President’s current girlfriend is so beautiful; being bitter won’t help you.”

“Wuu wuu wuu, Rourou, you’re bullying me too.”

Hua Feihua looked heartbroken, but Rourou knew the girl was just faking it.

“If you had just agreed to the Student Council President’s request for a home run, none of this would have happened.”

“B-But, that kind of thing… I really wanted to do it on the day we got married.”

Hua Feihua looked dejected.

In her mind, that was the most sacred moment for two people in love.

How could they do it so easily?

“My dear lady, what era is this?”

Rourou shook her head, while Hua Feihua held her arm and acted spoiled.

“Rourou, I’m really not over it… By the way, about that thing I asked you…”

“Yeah, I really didn’t expect you to ask me to doxx her.”

Rourou pulled down her goggles.

Instantly, a string of green code flashed across the lenses.

“I just want to know her name… Hey, hey, don’t dig up her private information.”

Hua Feihua felt a bit guilty.

Regardless, asking a hacker like Rourou to doxx someone really pricked her conscience.

“Her name is Su Ling, from the Lower City… Huh?”

Suddenly, Rourou froze.

She had hacked into Su Ling’s social accounts and saw the chat logs with someone named “Sister Jing.”

The earliest records were from one month ago.

That Su Ling seemed to be going to…

‘No way!’

Rourou realized something.

Her spirit jolted as she began to dig deeper.

Soon, she completely confirmed Su Ling’s identity.

‘Holy crap, this is huge news!’

‘The Student Council President’s new girlfriend is actually a Fuli Ji?’

Rourou became excited.

If this news spread to the Witch Academy, she couldn’t imagine how explosive it would be.

“Rourou, what’s wrong?”

Hua Feihua saw Rourou suddenly freeze and couldn’t help but ask.

Just as Rourou was about to reveal her discovery, a series of red **[Alert]** warnings appeared before her eyes.

Then, a soft chuckle sounded in her headphones.

“Miss, doing this is a violation of someone else’s privacy rights…”

Rourou broke into a cold sweat.

Was she, a master hacker, actually being warned by someone else online?

***

“S, what is it?” Ji Lingyuan asked, noticing S’s strange behavior.

“It is nothing, Master. There was just a fluctuation in the network.”

S did not mention what had happened.

However, she glanced at Su Ling out of the corner of her eye, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.

“Tsk, what era is this? How can there still be network fluctuations?”

Ji Lingyuan curled her lip but didn’t take it to heart.

They were nearing their destination, and she was getting impatient.

“Hmph. No matter what that person says later, you must answer as my girlfriend. Got it?”

“I understand.”

Su Ling nodded, though she was curious about the person they were meeting.

They arrived at a station.

The Witch Empire’s territory was vast.

For short distances, citizens used Space Teleportation.

For long distances, such as cross-galaxy travel, they took the Interstellar Train for a Space Jump.

The timing was perfect.

An Interstellar Train was slowly pulling into the station.

The doors opened, and a crowd of Witches swarmed out.

Su Ling clung tightly to Ji Lingyuan’s arm.

“Yo, so punctual? That’s not like you.”

A slightly flighty voice rang out.

“Che, I’m always punctual,” Ji Lingyuan replied.

“And this is?”

“Hmph, hmph, hmph. She’s my girlfriend. Pretty, isn’t she?”

Su Ling looked up and her eyes brightened at the newcomer.

The woman was a tall, older sister type.

She had long hair that was primarily silver-white with ink-black and crimson highlights.

Her hair was smooth and reached her waist, and she wore white horn-like ornaments on her head.

Her overall hair volume was fluffy and elegant.

The woman’s eyes were a translucent crimson, with light red makeup at the corners.

Her gaze was flirtatious and lazy, her cheeks tinged with a faint pink glow.

Her lip line was soft, and she wore a slight smile, appearing both gentle and seductive.

Most striking of all was the crimson cloud-patterned tattoo on her thigh, which matched her red stockings and black-and-red high heels.

“Baby, just call her Yun Guang.”

“Hello, Sister Yun Guang.”

The woman before her was truly beautiful, wearing a white-and-red high-slit qipao that was seductive but not gaudy.

Yun Guang was also sizing her up.

When she saw Su Ling’s face, a look of stunning surprise flashed across her delicate features.

“Not bad at all. White hair, pink pupils, and such beautiful eyes.”

Yun Guang leaned in close. Su Ling caught the faint scent of ink-orchids.

Su Ling’s pupils were shaped like cherry blossoms.

Combined with her cloud-white hair, she looked like she had stepped out of a manga.

Yun Guang lifted a strand of Su Ling’s white hair and sniffed it.

A crisp, cold scent of falling cherry blossoms filled her nostrils.

Yun Guang narrowed her eyes, a look of intoxication on her face, appearing quite like a pervert.

Su Ling shifted uncomfortably and pressed closer to Ji Lingyuan.

‘This older sister… why does she seem even more perverted than Ji Lingyuan?’

Yun Guang’s crimson pupils flickered, her gaze toward Su Ling full of heat.

“You smell so good — “
