“Miss Ming Die, do you sell clothes here?”
“This isn’t a clothing store.”
Ming Die crossed her legs, gently propping up her ample chest.
“If you want clothes, I’ve only got the ones I’m wearing.”
“Perfect, I want those,” Bai Yue Ling said, exchanging a glance with Ying Ye.
“Let’s strip her.”
“Oh? Think carefully now.”
Ming Die leaned back in her chair, her plush hips forming a soft curve against the hard seat, her demeanor calm.
“I’m your beginner village chief. If I’m gone, who’s going to give you quests?”
“What’s the point of a village chief who answers every question with ‘I don’t know’?”
Bai Yue Ling leaned in close, flashing her signature loli villainess grin for tormenting big sisters.
“Might as well squeeze out your remaining value~”
When facing big sisters who hadn’t caused her to die, Bai Yue Ling often got cocky and smug.
This habit had led to many big sisters holding grudges, chasing her, capturing her, and… humiliating her.
She knew it wasn’t good, but sometimes she couldn’t control her instincts.
“Too close.”
Ming Die flicked Bai Yue Ling’s face aside with a slender finger, then turned to Ying Ye.
“Aren’t you going to stop her?”
Ying Ye flashed a radiant smile.
“Answer the questions I asked earlier, and I’ll help you.”
“Ugh… fine, you win. I can’t deal with you two.”
Ming Die sighed.
“I’ll tell you this: there’s someone in this castle with the clothes you want.”
“Who?”
“She’s upstairs.”
Ming Die’s bloodless lips curved into a smile.
“And… she’s the beginner village BOSS you’ll have to face.”
***
Every beginner village had a BOSS for players to challenge.
The BOSS of Beginner Village 4443 was the Avatar of the Slime Queen, which Bai Yue Ling had turned into a pet.
So what was the BOSS of Beginner Village 4444?
Led by Ming Die, they headed to the second floor.
“This area was once a city-state of the Goddess of Death,”
Ming Die explained as they climbed the stairs, her round hips swaying under her robe with each step.
“But in the last Divine War, the Goddess of Judgment cleaved a gash in the earth with a single sword strike, creating the Great Rift.”
“The city-state was obliterated by the goddess’s sword energy, its ruins collapsing into the depths of the rift. Only this castle remains.”
Bai Yue Ling frowned.
“Why wasn’t the castle destroyed?”
“As far as I know, this castle is actually a prison,”
Ming Die said, lowering her voice.
“It holds mysterious prisoners, kept alive by the Goddess of Death’s power to ensure they don’t die easily. Perhaps the Goddess of Judgment thought keeping them locked here was their true punishment.”
Bai Yue Ling’s eyes widened.
The Divine War happened 1,000 years ago—did that mean the prisoners were at least 1,000 years old?
What kind of terrifying monsters were locked up by the Goddess of Death herself?
The trio reached the second floor, where a heavy, sturdy iron gate stood.
Beyond it, the floor looked identical to the first, except for puddles of water on the ground, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
Bai Yue Ling peered through the gate.
“No one’s here.”
Ming Die smiled faintly and handed her a keyring.
[Item Name: Prison Keys]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Description: A set of nine keys that can unlock the castle’s prison cells.]
[Note: Even if freed from their cells, prisoners cannot leave the castle.]
“Want to go in and challenge it? Use these keys to open the gate.”
With that, Ming Die walked away without looking back, leaving Bai Yue Ling and Ying Ye standing before the iron gate, staring into the prison.
The gate was covered in rust and scratches, evoking fear as if it whispered tales of the prisoners’ cries and struggles.
Ying Ye’s chest heaved as she gripped Bai Yue Ling’s shoulder.
“Little White, this place feels seriously creepy…”
Bai Yue Ling shrugged.
“Nothing to be scared of. It’s just a game.”
“Since it’s a game, why don’t we hit Level 10 first and come back?” Ying Ye asked.
“We’re too low-level to take on a Level 10 BOSS.”
“We’re already here, so let’s give it a shot.”
Bai Yue Ling shoved a key into the lock and twisted.
“Worst case, we die and drop a level. Early-game levels are cheap and quick to grind back.”
With a creak, the heavy gate was pulled open by their combined effort.
Bai Yue Ling stepped inside, immediately feeling a gaze from the shadows.
It seemed to pierce through her thick priest robe, scanning her delicate, jade-like frame over and over.
Danger…
A shiver ran through her, and she instinctively clamped her plump thighs together.
The lustful gaze made her feel like she was surrounded by a dozen big sisters, about to wipe her out.
Powerless, despairing, painful yet… pleasurable…
Writhing, twisting, trembling uncontrollably…
“Little White! You okay?”
Ying Ye rushed to steady Bai Yue Ling’s swaying body, her voice urgent.
“I-I’m fine… quick, help me find the enemy…”
A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as Bai Yue Ling gripped her Staff of Sorrow, scanning the surroundings.
But all that answered was a sultry, bone-meltingly seductive female voice.
“Oh my~ I never expected to wake up to the scent of fresh maidens… hehe, I’ve been waiting for you for a whole millennium~”
The voice was ethereal, as if drifting from the heavens yet close enough to touch.
Each word carried a magical allure, tugging at the desires buried deep in Bai Yue Ling’s heart.
Oh no, it’s charm…
Bai Yue Ling bit her tongue hard, snapping herself back to clarity, then shakily raised her staff and cast Sorrow Infusion on herself.
Buzz—
A tidal wave of endless sadness washed over her mind, dousing the flames of desire that had just sparked.
‘Wahhh… it hurts, it hurts so much… Why does a loser like me even exist? I just wanna die…’
Tears streaming down her face, Bai Yue Ling turned to Ying Ye.
“Ying Ye… come here, let me hit you with some sorrow… Ying Ye?”
Ying Ye didn’t seem to hear her.
She was breathing heavily, her eyes filled with pink hearts, staring transfixed at a seductive figure ahead.
“Ughhh… Ying Ye, you useless bad woman, getting charmed by another lady…”
Bai Yue Ling sniffled, wiping her tears as she muttered,
“Such powerful charm—must be that race…”
A red-haired woman sauntered forward, her sensual figure barely covered by tattered cloth.
A pair of crimson wings unfurled slowly from her waist, and a heart-tipped tail coiled around her thigh.
Her smile radiated an enchanting allure that could captivate anyone.
[Name: Luoluo Yue]
[Race: Succubus]
[Level: 10]
[Class: Charm Assassin]
[Description: A mysterious prisoner locked on the castle’s second floor. Time has eroded her strength, but her succubus charm remains undiminished.]
[Note: Warning! This succubus hasn’t fed in a millennium. If you lose, she’ll literally drain you dry!]
The succubus Luoluo Yue gazed approvingly at the entranced Ying Ye, then noticed the tear-streaked Bai Yue Ling and raised an eyebrow.
“Little sister, why are you crying when big sister’s this gorgeous?”
Lose, and you’ll enter a defeat CG…
“Wahhh… I-I’m crying…” Bai Yue Ling sobbed softly,
“I’m crying because a beauty like you… will be mercilessly destroyed by me…”
