Chapter 131: You See People Well

Su Ling soaked in the bathtub, rubbing her long hair.

Her originally snow-white locks were now stained with traces of blood on the surface.

They wouldn’t wash out.

Su Ling sighed.

She wasn’t sure if it was because of her Zerg bloodline, but the blood seemed impossible to remove.

Oh well, at least it wasn’t ugly.

Su Ling stood up, making a splashing sound.

The Original Owner had used some unknown method to escape, and she had no idea where she’d fled.

But no matter where she ran, Su Ling wasn’t about to let that one go.

A flicker of killing intent passed through Su Ling’s heterochromatic eyes.

And the Insect Hive.

She could sense something inside her body, but it was lifeless and inert.

That was the Insect Hive, but the Hive Mind had gone with the Original Owner, whereabouts unknown.

With the return of ten years of memories, Su Ling had also learned many things.

Since childhood, Bai Wei had never concealed her identity.

She had known since hatching that she was a Princess of the Insect Race.

Except for Su Yao.

Thinking of Su Yao, Su Ling felt some confusion.

100

In her childhood memories, Bai Wei had once told her that all of this was Su Yao’s plan.

But when it came to the details, the other party refused to discuss it.

And Su Yao seemed to have lost all her power and memories.

100

But back when Luo Qianxue imprisoned her, that mysterious being who rescued her and gave her the Ezi Cube—no matter how she thought about it, that mysterious person had to be Su Yao.

That was strange.

100

Schrödinger’s amnesia?

000

Su Ling could sense that Su Yao, or rather the Su Yao of the past, seemed to be doing something earth-shattering.

100

Unfortunately, she knew nothing.

100

Su Ling came to the mirror and wiped away the fog on its surface.

In the mirror, she was still the same—a pair of heterochromatic eyes, no different from before.

100

But her overall aura was a bit sharper than before.

This feeling was very strange—her self-identity hadn’t changed at all.

100

She was still herself.

100

She had just inexplicably straightened up.

000

Su Ling rubbed her chin and thought for a while.

Right, with her memories complete, she was now a Princess of the Insect Race—she had a status now.

How could she not straighten up?

But when Su Ling thought about her identity as a princess, and also remembered that she was still Fuliji, her face flushed a little.

Ahem, it’s fine, it’s for survival.

Su Ling dried herself off, wrapped a towel around herself, and walked out of the bathroom.

Outside, Luo Qianxue sat on the bed, staring off into space.

“What are you looking at?”

Su Ling curiously leaned in.

She saw Luo Qianxue reading an announcement.

“Astral Grand Competition?”

Su Ling tilted her head.

“Mm, hosted by the Academy, open to all Witches. Quotas will be distributed in three days, and it starts a week later.”

“The champion’s prize is the Light of Hope, which can grant one wish.”

Luo Qianxue looked at Su Ling, reaching out a hand, but Su Ling slapped it away.

Their relationship was very delicate right now, but it hadn’t reached that level yet.

“Are you going to participate?”

“Mm, I want to obtain the Light of Hope and return to the Path of Heartlessness.”

The Secret Technique that Jian Yan had given her seemed useless now; Luo Qianxue could only gamble on the Light of Hope.

“Oh, you dummy—why not just wish for revenge to succeed?”

Su Ling rolled her eyes.

Luo Qianxue’s return to the Path of Heartlessness was all for revenge.

If she could get the Light of Hope, why not just wish for revenge to succeed directly?

That would kill two birds with one stone.

Luo Qianxue was stunned.

She really hadn’t thought of that.

“See, you always get stuck in a rut.”

Su Ling tapped Luo Qianxue’s forehead.

“Are you joining? The competition allows solo or team entries.”

Teams could have up to five members.

The competition format had also been released—set in the Second Universe, hunting Star Beasts.

The official website had a list, with each Star Beast assigned a corresponding score.

After the time limit, the final score ranking determined the champion.

Su Ling glanced at the long list and felt dizzy.

Since the competition restricted Great Witches from participating, most Witches chose to form teams.

Luo Qianxue looked at Su Ling with hopeful eyes.

But Su Ling shook her head.

“No interest. Besides, my situation is very special right now. I’d just be cannon fodder.”

Theoretically, she was still an Ordinary Witch.

It was only because of the Ezi Cube that she briefly had the combat power of a Transcendent Witch.

Hearing this, Luo Qianxue’s eyes clearly dimmed.

Time to part ways.

Su Yao hadn’t sent any messages last night.

Probably because Suzuki was gossiping again.

At the hotel entrance, Su Ling waved and left first.

The people around stopped when they saw Luo Qianxue.

And when they saw Su Ling, they started whispering.

But with the recent buzz about the Astral Grand Competition, the forums weren’t making much of a fuss.

Luo Qianxue watched Su Ling’s retreating figure, her emotions in turmoil.

Their relationship… seemed to have become even more complicated…

Friends?

What kind of friend sleeps together at first sight?

Lovers?

Even less likely.

A transactional relationship?

But Su Ling didn’t accept anything.

She was more like a Pleasure Walker from the Pleasure Sequence.

The Pleasure Sequence had many factions, with each Witch defining pleasure differently.

And Pleasure Walkers believed that physical pleasure was the true pleasure.

In Witch Era 4343, a group of Pleasure Walkers attacked the Clinton Galaxy, kidnapping all the Witches’ in the galaxy.

And to this day, the Clinton Galaxy remained one of the most densely populated regions of the Witch Empire.

Su Ling had no idea about Luo Qianxue’s inner turmoil.

She was currently looking down at her phone, sending messages to Su Yao.

Unfortunately, Su Yao seemed to still be asleep and hadn’t replied.

Suzuki, that one, hadn’t replied either.

Su Ling pouted in frustration.

Just then, a group of people blocked her path.

Su Ling’s heart jumped slightly.

She looked up and saw a group of girls wearing identical uniforms.

Their outfits were uniform in style—each wore one black and one white stocking, and there was a black heart-shaped pattern under their left eyes.

“Are you Miss Su Ling? Hello, our Madam would like to meet you.”

The leader said respectfully.

For some reason, Su Ling suddenly had an intuition.

They weren’t Witches.

And the leader was also wondering inwardly—why did she feel a sense of palpitation in front of this beautiful girl?

It was as if she was facing their own master.

Even in front of the Clan Leader, she had never felt this way.

“Your Madam? Who?”

Su Ling was on full alert.

“No need to worry, Miss Su Ling. Our Madam is a teacher at the Academy. You can look it up online—Mrs. Thatcher.”

“We just want to invite you over. There’s no ill intent.”

Hearing this, Su Ling quickly searched online.

The other party waited respectfully.

Sure enough, she really existed.

It was just that… for a rating out of five, this Teacher Thatcher only had 2.5.

All the comments were unanimous: “Slacking off,” “Never shows up in class,” “Doesn’t help students pass the finals,” “Thumbs down.”

Su Ling’s mouth twitched.

Seems like a really troublesome person.

“Sorry, I’m—”

“Miss Su Ling, here’s one million Moni, a small token of our regard.”

The other party handed over a Gold Card.

Su Ling glanced at her.

“Do I look like that kind of person?”

But her little hand was extremely honest, quickly pocketing it.

“Lead the way.”

Hehe, you see people well~
