“What on earth is this thing?”
Su Ling toyed with the magic cube in her hands, her eyes filled with confusion.
The mysterious person had given it to her without saying what it was for.
Moreover, all six sides were white, and she had no idea how to solve it.
Just then, her smartphone vibrated.
It was actually a message from Luo Qianxue.
Frost Thousand Years: “Um, are you there?”
Su Ling’s face darkened immediately.
She really did not want to see this person.
I am truly a transmigrator: “No.”
Frost Thousand Years: “I just wanted to ask, what happened this morning? My memory seems to have a gap.”
Seeing this, Su Ling’s heart skipped a beat.
Clearly, this was the work of that mysterious person.
However, it happened to align with Su Ling’s own desires.
Su Ling lay on her bed, fiddling with the magic cube.
I am truly a transmigrator: “Oh, that? You had your fun with me this morning and then let me go.”
That was mostly the truth.
Except for the fact that she intentionally left out the part where an entire mountain was erased from existence.
As expected, the person on the other end stopped replying.
Su Ling smirked.

Yunhai Peak.
Luo Qianxue stared at the message on her screen, biting her lip, not knowing how to respond.
Beside her, Xia Anan, who was directing the junior sisters to clean up the aftermath, saw a flicker of strangeness in her expression.
“Eldest Senior Sister, the Master wants us to go to the Dean and hurry them up about the new mountain peak.”
She walked to Luo Qianxue’s side and caught a glimpse of the text on the screen.
Her heart suddenly felt a mix of complicated emotions.
“Oh, alright.”
A flash of panic crossed Luo Qianxue’s face.
Xia Anan saw it, and her heart felt bitter.
She had never seen her senior sister act so anxious and distracted.
Now, the forums were filled with gossip about Su Ling and Luo Qianxue.
She had just scrolled through the feed and could barely catch her breath.
She had also seen the photos of Su Ling at the Maid Cafe; to be honest, she was jealous.
Wuwu, it was clearly me who came first.
Xia Anan had already memorized the location of the Maid Cafe and the appearance of Su Ling.
Back at Su Ling’s place, she wanted to laugh as she saw Luo Qianxue continuously typing but not sending a single word.
Hmph, that’s what you get for torturing me earlier.
Su Ling could only take such cowardly revenge for now.
It is Cheng Cheng, not Cheng Cheng: “Su Ling, are you back?”
Seeing Su Ling online, Cheng Cheng sent a message.
I am truly a transmigrator: “I’m back.”
It is Cheng Cheng, not Cheng Cheng: “Um, Luo Qianxue… what exactly is your relationship with her…?”
Cheng Cheng’s desire for gossip was about to explode.
She had thought Luo Qianxue was going to lock Su Ling in a dark room and torture her severely.
But it turned out to be just this?
I am truly a transmigrator: “A business arrangement.”
Inside the Maid Cafe, Cheng Cheng was so shocked she nearly dropped her phone.
The cafe was currently packed with people who had come by reputation.
Since any publicity was good publicity, she didn’t turn anyone away.
Making money wasn’t something to be ashamed of.
She’s joking, right?
Cheng Cheng muttered to herself.
At this moment, Su Ling didn’t intend to hide anything.
However, it was a pity that Cheng Cheng didn’t ask further, only asking if she was free today.
The Maid Cafe was almost bursting at the seams, but there wasn’t a single maid.
This forced Keke, the receptionist, to step up herself.
Su Ling was, of course, available.
“Stop sleeping, get up and work!”
She nudged Su Yao, who was napping nearby, and started getting ready.
Su Yao was still bleary-eyed.
Fortunately, they finished dressing quickly and headed straight for the cafe.
The appearance of Su Ling immediately brought the cafe’s atmosphere to a climax.
Various witches crowded around Su Ling, each one desperate to know exactly what kind of relationship she had with Luo Qianxue.
“Um, what is your relationship with Lady Luo Qianxue? Are you really girlfriends?”
Su Ling’s smile stiffened at the mention of Luo Qianxue’s name.
“No, we’re just ordinary friends.”
Ordinary friends who go to hotels together?
Everyone thought with disdain.
Fortunately, the patrons today were quite polite, unlike the crazy stalkers from yesterday.
These people were just curious and wanted to satisfy their own gossip, that’s all.
Su Ling also seized opportunities to ask questions indirectly.
“By the way, do you guys know about what happened on Yunhai Peak this morning?”
“What happened? Isn’t Yunhai Peak Luo Qian… Oh—I get it, I get it~”
Clearly, these people misunderstood something.
However, Su Ling also realized that very few people knew about the annihilation of Yunhai Peak this morning.
Hm, I guess someone big stepped in to cover it up.
Although the customers were there to satisfy their curiosity, they were soon captivated by the cafe’s set meals.
Combined with the rumors surrounding Su Ling and Luo Qianxue, many decided to try the food.
This made Cheng Cheng’s earnings skyrocket, and she couldn’t stop smiling.
Looking at the rising revenue on the register, she giggled like an idiot.
“Keke, do you think we should hire a few more maids?”
Cheng Cheng’s eyes had already turned into the shape of Moni.
“Boss, Su Ling is only benefiting from Luo Qianxue’s traffic. In a few days, when the heat dies down, you won’t think like that anymore.”
Keke saw the situation very clearly.
The reason it was so popular today was entirely because Luo Qianxue was a prominent figure in the Academy; it was no surprise that people curious about gossip—or even some weirdos—came to the shop.
“That’s true too.”
By evening.
Su Yao and Su Ling were exhausted, finally surviving until closing time.
They had been clinging and hugging all day, and the various scents of the witches were enough to overwhelm their noses.
“You all worked hard.”
Cheng Cheng was in a great mood, seeing that they had almost matched the revenue of the previous few months.
She immediately gave Su Ling, Su Yao, and Keke a bonus of 10,000 each.
Su Ling and Su Yao didn’t think much of it, but Keke looked as if she had seen a ghost.
It seemed they had truly made a fortune today.
Even the stingy Cheng Cheng was willing to hand out bonuses.
“Long live the Boss!”
Su Ling cheered when she received her bonus.
“Keep up the good work.”
Cheng Cheng waved her hand, humming a tune as she left.
Su Ling’s exploit had given her some inspiration.
Tell me, should I look for maids who have rumors with other big shots?
If the traffic from one Luo Qianxue could make her this stuffed, what about those other monsters?
For example, that talented girl from the Academy of Truth, or perhaps the Oiran of the Witch’s Hut…
Even beyond students, teachers would work too…
Hehe, if she could really find them, she would definitely be raking in the cash.
Cheng Cheng’s “profiteer” rating was rapidly increasing.

“Junior Sister Su Ling, are you really… with Lady Luo Qianxue?”
“No, absolutely not! I’m not close to her at all!”
Su Ling denied it three times in a row.
The torture from last night was still fresh in her mind; she didn’t want to experience it a second time!
Strange, what is this faint feeling of reluctance in my heart?
“Alright then.”
Keke looked at Su Ling and lowered her head, stifling a laugh.
You already went to a hotel, and there’s no relationship? Trying to fool a ghost?
“By the way, Junior Sister Su Ling, be careful on your way home. I heard it’s not very safe lately; a lot of students have gone missing.”
Keke suddenly thought of something and spoke mysteriously.
“I have inside information that a Zerg has infiltrated the Academy.”
A Zerg?
Su Ling’s heart skipped a beat.
