Chapter 102: Dingxianyou

“I came to ask you to be the bait for our Witch’s Hut. I want to lure out the culprit.”

Tian Tian said bluntly.

The room instantly fell silent.

Oh, only the crunch of Qing Luan eating chips could be heard.

Lilith couldn’t help it and shot Qing Luan a glare.

“You ruined the atmosphere.”

Qing Luan didn’t care and even offered the chips to her.

“Want some?”

Lilith glanced at it.

Crunch, crunch.

“So delicious!”

“My chips!”

Su Ling watched the cucumber‑flavored chips she had specially bought, her heart bleeding.

This was her favorite flavor.

She glared at Lilith and Qing Luan.

Those two just waved their hands indifferently.

“Worst case, we’ll offer ourselves to you.”

Su Ling suspected they were looking for an excuse to freeload off her.

Tian Tian still had a smile on her face, but it had stiffened.

She wanted to rip off their heads and kick them like balls.

“We’re negotiating! Be serious!”

With these two goofballs interfering, the serious atmosphere vanished instantly.

Su Ling waved her hand.

“No deal, thanks.”

“I can pay you.”

“Oh, speaking of which, I happen to have something too.”

Su Ling took the black card Su Yao handed her, looking smug.

“There’s five hundred thousand in here. Heh, just enough to pay off my debt.”

At that moment, Su Ling kept sighing inwardly.

‘Thank goodness Luo Qianxue imprisoned me. Otherwise, without this five hundred thousand, I’d be in debt to Tian Tian. Without her even asking, I would have agreed to her request myself. What a good imprisonment! Pfft, what am I thinking?’

Tian Tian stared at the black card, locking eyes with Su Ling.

Behind her, Lilith and Qing Luan let out exaggerated sounds.

“Wow!”

‘By the Original, I need to rip those two’s heads off!’

Tian Tian took a deep breath, her small face full of worry.

“There’s no other way. Su Ling has paid off the debt and has no leverage over me now.”

Her plan had completely failed.

She couldn’t be bothered to care where the five hundred thousand came from; actually, she had a guess.

Lately, the rumors about Su Ling and Luo Qianxue had been all over the place.

It was most likely Luo Qianxue who gave it.

“But why do you want me as bait? Can’t they do it?”

Su Ling was also a bit puzzled.

She looked at Lilith and Qing Luan.

Tian Tian rolled her eyes at the two behind her in exasperation.

“They’re temporary workers for the Witch’s Hut, listed on the official website. The murderer can get online, so they definitely know who they are.”

Lilith and Qing Luan, due to their terrible performance in handling the Adela mission, were directly reported by Tao Tao.

As a result, they became the bottom of the temporary workers, with almost no clients hiring them.

Those two just gave up, clinging to her every day, arguing that if worse came to worst, they’d just become regular workers and make easy money lying down.

Tian Tian was completely out of ideas.

“You’re the only one I could think of.”

Well, she only thought to entrust Su Ling because she owed her a debt, thinking she’d be easy to handle.

She didn’t expect Su Ling to scrape together five hundred thousand in such a short time, completely ruining her plan.

“Money to earn but not to spend. I’m not that stupid. Looking at those shriveled corpses, the murderer was clearly very vicious. What if I wasn’t careful and got caught myself?”

“Then there’s no way. I was thinking that if you helped me this time, I’d forgive half your debt.”

“How much? Half the debt, that’s two hundred and fifty thousand, right?”

Su Ling’s pink cherry‑colored eyes shot wide open.

“Ahem, well, I mean hypothetically, if I paid off the debt and took your commission, I’m saying hypothetically, would you still—”

“Of course, two hundred and fifty thousand Moni. Too bad. You don’t have a debt anymore and you don’t need to take the risk at all.”

Tian Tian glanced at Su Ling furtively, then put on a look of regret.

“Actually, all you have to do is lure that person out. Lilith and Qing Luan will follow you the whole time. Even if you don’t lure him out in the end, I’ll still give you two hundred and fifty thousand. What a shame.”

Tian Tian sighed softly.

With that, she made as if to leave with Lilith and Qing Luan.

Su Ling watched their backs, her eyes full of conflict.

She looked at Su Yao. Su Yao gave her a slight shake of the head.

“Ling Ling, we’re already well off now. A stable job, no debt. Just wait until school officially starts in half a month.”

But that’s two hundred and fifty thousand!

And who knows if she’ll need money urgently later.

What if she falls into debt again?

Besides, Tian Tian said Lilith and Qing Luan would be following her the whole time.

Even if she didn’t lure out the murderer, she’d still get the two hundred and fifty thousand.

In other words, her risk was very low. Su Ling bit her lip tightly.

Time passed minute by minute.

Wait, why haven’t they left yet?

About a minute passed, but the few steps to the door, Tian Tian and the other two still hadn’t reached it.

By now, Tian Tian and her group were almost exhausted.

Lilith was suffering the most.

Her tall, curvy figure made maintaining such slow movements extremely taxing.

Qing Luan looked at Tian Tian.

‘Boss, why hasn’t she agreed yet?’

Tian Tian’s forehead was covered in fine cold sweat.

‘Seriously, she offered such tempting conditions, why hasn’t she agreed!’

Actually, besides Su Ling, she really didn’t know who else to ask.

Connected to the Witch’s Hut, but not too deeply, had those experiences, and was also very pretty.

“Then—”

“Phew!”

The three of them sighed in relief.

Su Ling looked at these three goofballs in speechlessness.

At first, these three gave her the impression of being strong, reliable, and mature.

How come after just a few days, they turned into three clowns?

“I can agree, but I’ll help you for one week.”

“Deal!”

Tian Tian agreed readily.

If the headquarters hadn’t insisted that their branch fish in their own area, would she have been so anxious?

“Hehe, after this is done, whether it succeeds or not, I can also give you a lottery ticket for Qianxia Jiang~”

Tian Tian said cheerfully.

“I don’t need it.”

Su Ling was speechless.

“Don’t worry, no one can reject Qianxia Jiang.”

Tian Tian, like a victorious general, drew up a contract with Su Ling, then directly led Lilith and Qing Luan out the door in three steps.

It was done in one go, taking less than ten seconds.

“Ling Ling, why?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

But in the end, Su Ling’s heart was still pounding.

Lilith and Qing Luan were so unreliable, she really couldn’t trust them.

But that’s two hundred and fifty thousand!

Su Ling was also starting to regret it.

Really, blinded by greed. Sigh, she was just too scared of being poor.

If only she could find a stronger bodyguard…

Thinking this, she inexplicably looked at her phone. At that moment, the phone received a message.

Frost Thousand Years: “Are you there? I want to meet you and properly discuss things between us.”

*

“Phew, it really is more comfortable without them on.”

The cute bear panties were in her hand, still stained with a bit of water.

A996 looked relaxed; these panties really were uncomfortable to wear.

But she was wearing a miniskirt now, and after taking off the panties, she couldn’t cover up the view underneath at all.

“Hehe, like what you see? Little cutie?”

A996 threw the bear panties into the air, and the panties shot out like an arrow from a bow.

A figure was forced out of hiding. A dark‑skinned gyaru.

“Suzuki, right? Hehe, following me, do you want to do things with me? That’s fine, I’m very cheap, just fifty Moni~”

A996 placed her index finger on her lips, slightly leaning forward, revealing her extremely well‑endowed wickedness.

Suzuki’s expression was very grim.

“Did you kill Yanjing? Are you a Zerg?”

After Yanjing’s body was discovered, she immediately recalled the faint smell of cheap perfume she had caught when returning to the dormitory that time.

After the Perfume Act was issued, which groups would still wear perfume?

And such strong cheap perfume at that?

Besides those outsiders who snuck in, the answer could only be one. Zerg.

She wanted to report directly to the Student Council, but those damn Student Council members only knew how to steal credit.

Instead of investigating first, they questioned her identity and even traced her IP address, trying to dox her.

‘By the Original’s toenails, these incompetent bastards!’

Just when she was at her wit’s end, she saw the back of that silver‑haired girl again.

After some hesitation, she called in some reinforcements first, then cautiously followed.

But she was still discovered.

“Hehe, I’m so pretty, how could I be a Zerg? If you want to know, want to try me out? Wouldn’t you find out by experiencing it?”

A996 swayed her slender waist as she approached Suzuki.

Suzuki’s pupils constricted.

She gritted her teeth, wanting to escape.

But at that moment, her body suddenly jolted.

The magic in her body began to block up, and it felt like countless insects were gnawing at her, causing immense pain.

‘Poison! That panty is poisoned!’

Suzuki stared at the bear panties on the ground, shocked.

“Hehe, little cutie, once I’ve got my eye on you, there’s no escape~”

Suzuki collapsed on the ground, her face flushed.

The poison actually had an aphrodisiac effect!

The reinforcements she called were still on the way; she was completely alone now.

‘Damn, I really hate to use it. My body is burning. My sanity is on the verge of collapse.’

Suzuki knew that if she didn’t use her last resort lifesaving measure, she would really be done for this time.

But she really hated to part with it. It was so expensive…

“Dingxianyou…”

With a soft whisper, a white cicada flapped its wings and landed on the tip of her nose.

[Magic Tool, Rank 3] Dingxianyou (Imitation)

The real Dingxianyou could take you wherever you wished in your heart.

But her imitation could only take you to the person you had most recently encountered.

And it was completely random.

And single‑use.

And extremely expensive, costing ten million Moni.

But it was very useful for escaping.

A996 detected a trace of spatial fluctuation from this cicada and immediately her expression changed drastically.

Her face darkened, her figure moving like a ghost, but she was still too slow.

A flash of white light, and Suzuki’s figure completely vanished.

A996 tried to track the spatial coordinates, but found the route extremely complex and impossible to follow.

Completely random; even Dingxianyou itself didn’t know where it would teleport.

“Tch.”

A996 picked up the bear panties from the ground and curled her lips.

These little tricks of witches are really troublesome.

Forget it, the mission is more important.

The Empress’s plan is running out of time.

She put on the bear panties and slowly melted into the crowd.

*

“I love taking baths, my skin feels great…”

In the bathroom, steam filled the air, visibility extremely low.

In the bathtub, Su Ling was soaking comfortably.

She squeezed a few pumps of body wash, worked up foam, and gently rubbed it over her creamy white skin.

“Slap!”

At that moment, a figure fell from above.

A dark‑skinned gyaru struggled to get up, but the bathroom floor was too slippery, and she accidentally fell.

She clumsily grabbed the edge of the bathtub and poked her head out.

Immediately, her eyes met a pair of startled cherry‑colored pupils.
