Chapter 11: I won’t pout(I’m sure) 

“Sorry, Miss Ying Ye! I got carried away…”

Bai Yue Ling hurriedly wriggled out of Ying Ye’s princess carry, her heart racing. 

She’d nearly lost herself in the big sister’s gentle embrace!

Nervously rubbing her hands, she saw Ying Ye freeze in place, steam practically rising from her head.

“Uh, you okay?”

“I’m fine… maybe just tired from running. My head’s a bit dizzy…” 

Ying Ye leaned against a tree, avoiding Bai Yue Ling’s gaze.

Bai Yue Ling’s casual action had sent a torrent through Ying Ye’s mind. 

It felt like she wasn’t holding a cute girl but a dish more tempting than melting ice cream.

All Little White did was hug my neck—why’s my heart racing like this?

Ying Ye couldn’t quite describe her emotions. 

In her 19 years, she’d never felt anything like this.

***

Perhaps due to the corruption’s influence, she was developing an indescribable feeling toward Bai Yue Ling.

If mishandled, this feeling could tip her over the edge.

[Player “Ying Ye’s” corruption value has increased by 2%.]

[Due to “Ying Ye’s” corruption value reaching 25%, you have triggered a new mission.]

[Mission Name: Ying Ye’s Path to Corruption ②]

[Difficulty: Hard]

[Description: Awaken dark desires in the kind-hearted Ying Ye’s heart.]

[Reward: Ying Ye’s corruption value increases by 20%.]

[Note: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss finds you pretty hot.]

A new mission… triggered?

But Bai Yue Ling had no time to check it.

She was too busy staring at Ying Ye’s flushed face, her heart screaming—Oh no!

This was bad. 

Ying Ye’s affection was getting too high!

As a seasoned player among big sisters, Bai Yue Ling knew exactly why Ying Ye was blushing. 

Ying Ye was a cheerful, energetic girl who’d never been this close to anyone before.

In simple terms—she was an easy target to charm.

But Bai Yue Ling had no intention of charming her.

In her past cycles, she’d dodged big sisters countless times to avoid them catching feelings, all to reduce the chance of trouble.

But seeing Ying Ye like this, something was clearly off. 

If this continued, she’d definitely get into trouble again.

Should she run?

Bai Yue Ling’s ample chest heaved slightly as her mind raced.

No… running would mean abandoning the corruption mission. 

If she didn’t corrupt Ying Ye now, she’d just come knocking later.

Relax, Bai Yue Ling. 

A little affection isn’t a big deal. 

Once her corruption hits 100%, everything will be fine.

She’ll become your loyal follower, obeying your every word, and you won’t have to worry about trouble anymore…

With that sorted, Bai Yue Ling calmed down and changed the subject. 

“So, did we get the World First Kill?”

Ying Ye exhaled, her blush fading. 

“We did. It was announced to the whole world.”

“Ugh… I wanted to stay anonymous,” 

Bai Yue Ling sighed.

To survive, she preferred keeping a low profile. 

World Announcements offered extra rewards for publicizing your name, but they weren’t worth much to her.

“By the way, what happened to the Slime BOSS?” 

Bai Yue Ling was curious about what her corruption skill had done to it.

At the mention of the BOSS, Ying Ye’s expression lit up. “Little White, that skill of yours was insane! You turned the BOSS into your pet!”

“Pet?”

Ying Ye pulled out a soft, pale blue jelly-like creature and handed it to Bai Yue Ling.

[Pet Name: Avatar of the Slime Queen]

[Owner: Bai Yue Ling]

[Race: Slime]

[Level: 10]

[Skill: “Gigantification” – Expands its body to massive size.]

[Description: A slime affected by corruption, still linked to the Slime Queen in some way.]

[Note: It’s said that ordinary slimes can evolve into adorable yet commanding Slime Girls, coveted by many. Only the Slime Queen knows the exact evolution method.]

Seeing the little slime affectionately crawl onto her finger, Bai Yue Ling’s pretty eyes widened.

It turned into a pet just like that?

No problem, though. 

At 100% corruption, it’d be completely obedient, no different from a pet.

Since slimes were simple-minded, they could skip the gradual corruption process and jump straight to full corruption.

Still, a Level 10 slime was only useful early on. 

Slimes were a weak race with little growth potential.

“The slime also dropped a cape,” Ying Ye said, handing it over. 

“It’s too flashy for an assassin, so you take it.”

[Equipment Name: Slime Cape]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Defense: Average]

[Equip Conditions: Stamina 10, Charm 15]

[Attribute Bonus: Charm A]

[Description: Speed +5, Charm +10. Its squishy nature reduces incoming damage, especially from blunt attacks.]

[Note: A cape made from a slime. Calling it “equipment” isn’t quite right—it’s still alive.]

“A cape that protects my back? And it boosts speed by 5? Not bad,” Bai Yue Ling mused. 

“Since we’ve got a cape, is there a full-body Slime Armor set out there?”

Hmm, that sounds a bit risqué, like something out of a doujin.

The Level 10 BOSS gave her a ton of experience, boosting her to Level 7. 

After putting points into Health to reach 20, she had 4 points left, which she split between Mana and Stamina.

Equipping the Slime Cape, Bai Yue Ling checked her new title.

[Skill: Holy Light Orb Slayer (Passive)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Cost: None]

[Learning Condition: Obtain the title “Holy Light Orb Slayer”]

[Attribute Bonus: None]

[Description: Increases “Holy Light Orb” damage by 20%.]

[Note: A skill developed by the legendary priest “Heili One-Shot” in her youth. No one else in the world has mastered it—until you came along.]

“Holy Light Orb Slayer… guess I’m doomed to go all-in on Holy Light Orbs,” Bai Yue Ling sighed.

In World of Fate, character titles were granted by the system based on player achievements. 

Each title was unique and came with a skill that didn’t take up a skill slot.

By the way, players started with 4 skill slots, gaining 1 more every 10 levels, up to a maximum of 10.

***

The two quickly trekked through the forest, returning to the beginner village’s castle.

Ming Die stirred from her nap, raising an eyebrow at the two girls. 

“You… finished the mission that fast? I just dozed off.”

[Congratulations! You have received the mission rewards: “Dark Faction Oath,” “Staff of Sorrow.”]

After a busy morning, Bai Yue Ling had reached Level 7, secured the World First Kill, and joined the Dark Faction—a haul far beyond her expectations.

“This is the smoothest of my ten cycles,” she murmured. 

“I’ve got to seize this chance and absolutely not wipe at the hands of a big sister.”

Gurgle…

Her soft tummy reminded her it was noon—time to log off and eat.

The beginner village was a safe zone, so logging off here carried no penalty. 

After agreeing to meet Ying Ye again in the afternoon, Bai Yue Ling vanished in a flash of white light.
