Xia Anan’s small face was slightly distorted by jealousy.
She stared intently at Luo Qianxue, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire.
Why?
They were childhood friends, yet Luo Qianxue would rather find someone else than turn to her?
Was she really that inferior?
For a moment, a massive sense of loss swept over her.
Hearing Bu Yao’s words, Luo Qianxue silently lowered her head.
She couldn’t hide it after all. As expected of her Master.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; this is a good thing.”
To Luo Qianxue’s surprise, Bu Yao did not scold her. This only made Luo Qianxue feel more uneasy.
“She… her name is Su Ling, right?”
Luo Qianxue suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with shock.
She looked at the inscrutable Bu Yao, her astonishment beyond words.
Meanwhile, Xia Anan silently committed the name ‘Su Ling’ to memory.
“Master, how did you know?”
“A simple divination.”
Actually, she had seen it while scrolling through videos.
Did people really think being in ‘seclusion’ meant sitting cross-legged without eating or drinking like in a novel?
When her progress stalled, she would scroll on her smartphone and sometimes even secretly order takeout.
She used Luo Qianxue’s account, since Luo Qianxue rarely ordered delivery anyway.
Then she would have her own Life-Bound Sword Spirit pick up the food for her.
Her Sword Spirit had complained about this more than a few times.
“As I said, this is a good thing. The Path of Heartlessness was originally a dead end. Aside from fast cultivation, it has no other merits.”
Witches were a race with very rich emotions.
This path of suppressing and destroying one’s own feelings was never meant for a witch.
Luo Qianxue bit her lip hard.
Her Master knew everything.
But when she thought of her stagnant cultivation, she felt a wave of frustration.
“Paths are made by walking them. Try another way.”
Bu Yao rubbed Luo Qianxue’s head and spoke gently.
Luo Qianxue’s eyes were full of confusion.
Another way?
But was there any other path that could raise her cultivation quickly enough to help her achieve her revenge?
Bu Yao understood Luo Qianxue’s confusion but said nothing.
She knew that these were things Luo Qianxue had to resolve for herself.
After all, she was ultimately an outsider.
Bu Yao looked at the deep crater before her and rubbed her chin.
“Although Yunhai Peak is gone, this is a good thing.”
Sensing the puzzled gazes of her disciples behind her, she chuckled.
“Hee-hee, I’ve thought Yunhai Peak was too small for a long time. This works out; now I can apply for an even larger peak!”
Meanwhile, in the Dean’s Office.
“Is that Bu Yao insane?! What does she want with a mountain peak ten thousand meters high?!”
The little assistant at the door covered her ears, but even so, Orphina’s roar from inside the office nearly pierced her eardrums.
In the hallway, passing staff members looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
“Is… is the Dean here?”
At that moment, a little loli ran over in a panic.
In the next instant, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the little loli actually tripped on flat ground.
“This is the Dean’s office. Take it easy—what happened?”
The assistant helped the little loli up.
“There’s… there’s a Zerg! A Zerg has infiltrated the Witch’s Hut! Several students have already been killed!”
The little loli scrambled up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and spoke urgently.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“Is it really just a hundred Moni?”
The black-haired girl—whose hair was a mess as if it hadn’t been washed in days, whose glasses were covered in grease, and whose clothes were slovenly—spoke with an excited expression.
“Of course! The Witch’s Hut has a discount recently, don’t miss out~”
Standing before her was a silver-haired, red-eyed girl.
She wore a white T-shirt and a miniskirt.
The girl with glasses even caught glimpses of pink “scenery” several times, causing her small face to turn beet red.
“B-but, aren’t the official employees of the Witch’s Hut restricted to fixed locations and not allowed to go out?”
“Oh my, I told you it’s a special event~”
The silver-haired girl linked her arm with the girl with glasses, her full chest brushing against the other intentionally or unintentionally, eliciting a foolish grin from the latter.
“Just help a girl out with her sales~ I’m only one customer away from my quota~”
The silver-haired girl began to act spoiled.
The girl with glasses shuddered and snapped out of her daze.
She was about to agree, but then she seemed to remember something and hurriedly checked her smartphone.
“Ugh, I don’t have enough money…”
She showed the smartphone screen to the silver-haired girl.
53.83 Moni.
The silver-haired girl’s smile instantly froze.
‘Are you kidding me? I specifically dropped the price to a hundred—how can a witch be this poor?!’
She screamed internally.
“You can pay on credit! Don’t hesitate, I can’t wait anymore…”
Seeing the girl still hesitating, the silver-haired girl gritted her teeth and kissed her directly.
‘Ugh! Why does she taste like instant noodles?!’
The silver-haired girl was going crazy.
Honestly, the girl with glasses wasn’t bad-looking; she was just too slovenly.
The girl with glasses felt as if she’d been struck by lightning.
Her lower brain immediately took control, and she shakily led the silver-haired girl back to her dorm.
As the door closed, a cold, mocking glint flashed in the silver-haired girl’s crimson eyes.
However, when she saw the scene inside the dorm, she couldn’t help but freeze.
Lofts beds over desks, four beds total, and the floor was covered in instant noodle bowls and potato chip bags.
“You… don’t live alone?”
“Uh, it’s fine. They moved out; I’m the only one living here. they rarely come back.”
The girl with glasses seemed unable to wait any longer.
She climbed onto the bed and gave her a foolish smile.
Hearing this, the corners of the silver-haired girl’s mouth curled slightly.
She crawled onto the bed and mounted the girl, her gaze hazy and her small face seductive.
She twisted her slender waist, and under the girl’s dull, yearning gaze, she pinched the hem of her shirt and began…
“Hey, Specs, did I leave my student ID here?”
At that moment, the dorm door opened.
A dark-skinned ‘gal’ walked in.
Seeing the trash all over the floor, her face immediately twisted in disgust.
“I… I don’t know…”
Specs said guiltily.
The dark-skinned girl instinctively looked up and locked eyes with the silver-haired girl.
By now, the silver-haired girl was partially exposed, looking very provocative.
The dark-skinned girl fell silent.
She looked down.
She hadn’t seen a thing.
“S-so, can we continue?”
Specs asked expectantly.
‘Are you serious? Can we really continue after that?’
The silver-haired girl was ready to start cursing.
“Strange. Do you smell something weird?”
Having found her lost student ID, the dark-skinned girl’s nose twitched as she asked in confusion.
Amidst the various smells of instant noodles, there seemed to be a hint of cheap, pungent perfume.
She didn’t know what Specs’ natural scent was, mostly because Specs hated bathing so much that the smell of noodles and chips had long since covered it up.
But she knew that a lazy girl like Specs would absolutely never buy perfume.
Perfumes were for witches who weren’t satisfied with their own natural scent and wanted to change things up.
Moreover, the ‘Perfume Act’ had just been released a few days ago.
Perfumes had long since vanished from the market; even low-quality ones could only be found on the black market.
“N-no, nothing.”
“Suzuki, I still need to… with my girlfriend…”
Specs looked at Suzuki, trailing off.
Suzuki stared at her, then stared intently at the silver-haired girl on top of her.
Those crimson pupils were watching her as well.
For some reason, Suzuki felt a chill.
“Then I must have smelled it wrong.”
Suzuki muttered and then closed the door.
“Have fun, you two.”
‘Girlfriend? Who would actually fall for a slovenly nerd girl?’
“L-let’s continue.”
Specs looked at the exposed skin, her gaze long and yearning.
“Hee-hee, don’t be in such a rush~ I’ll satisfy you soon~”
The silver-haired girl licked her lips, a bloodthirsty red glow flashing in her crimson eyes.
“Thanks for the meal.”
The silver-haired girl pulled up her bear-patterned panties and licked her lips with lingering satisfaction.
‘Tsk, that D763 girl… these panties are so uncomfortable; I’d rather go commando.’
But she had no choice; this was the Witch Academy, after all. She had to dress the part.
“Next target…”
The silver-haired girl thought of the dark-skinned girl from before and licked her lips.
She knew Suzuki was already suspicious.
Perfect—she would be the next hunt.
While D763 was recovering from her injuries, it wasn’t serious, but to fully recover, she still needed blood and flesh for nourishment.
Thinking this, she walked out of the dorm with a light step.
On the bed, a shriveled corpse lay in a bizarre position.
A strange smile of satisfaction remained on the withered face.
