The heavy gaming pod slowly opened, but the girl inside remained motionless.
Jelly climbed onto the pod’s lid, poking Bai Yue Ling’s flushed face with a tentacle, muttering, “What’s wrong? Did they break you?”
“Whimper… Ababa…”
Bai Yue Ling’s gaze was unfocused, her delicate, snowy toes twitching slightly, still reeling from the double assault of a Druid and a Judgment Knight.
Seeing Bai Yue Ling’s utterly defeated state, Jelly’s body gradually turned pink, slowly enveloping her entirely, its voice laced with exasperation.
“You cheeky brat, you’re the biggest weakling of all…”
Under Jelly’s embrace, Bai Yue Ling’s tense body began to relax, her near-fainting spirit gradually recovering.
She forced herself to sit up in the gaming pod, panting heavily, and said with lingering fear, “I’d rather endure the Goddess of Judgment’s Gaze for an entire day than get my legs crossed by two big sisters back-to-back!”
“Heh, but I heard you moaning pretty happily,” Jelly teased, extending a tentacle with mischievous intent. “Want to start round three?”
Bai Yue Ling clamped her thighs together, tears welling up. “S-Spare me, please…”
“Tch, weakling.” Jelly lightly slapped Bai Yue Ling’s soft cheeks with a tentacle, scoffing, “If you’re going to provoke big sisters, you’d better be ready for their punishment.”
“I was ready!” Bai Yue Ling patted her impressively defiant chest, though her words lacked conviction. “My spirit is incredibly strong! It’s just my body that’s too frail!”
“Wrong. It’s exactly because your spirit is so weak that your body is even weaker,” Jelly said gravely. “If you truly had the resolve to be the aggressor… or even a ‘king,’ you’d train yourself relentlessly, no matter the setbacks, and never yield.”
Bai Yue Ling squinted at her. “Don’t act like you’re some expert.”
“Because I am a queen,” Jelly declared proudly. “A king acknowledges, a king permits, a king bears the weight of the entire world.”
“Why is it that this classic line, paired with your Slime body, not only fits perfectly but also adds a ton of cuteness…?”
Though Jelly’s current appearance lacked any real gravitas, her reasoning was sound.
If Bai Yue Ling could maintain a “queen’s” mindset like Jelly, she’d surely wield her Dark Fall power to its fullest potential.
Instead of, well… achieving full Dark Fall through being thoroughly overwhelmed like this.
Sitting on the bed, Bai Yue Ling gazed at the moonlight outside, lost in thought.
No… If this keeps up, my ‘resolve will shatter’!
I need to change my mindset.
I shouldn’t feel discouraged just because my legs got crossed… I should be thrilled that I managed to withstand the leg-crossing from two big sisters!
That’s right, I’ve improved. I’m not the same me as before.
Bai Yue Ling clenched her pink fists, her mental victory strategy slowly kicking in.
If this were my first loop, Shi Qianla would’ve broken me completely, and I wouldn’t even have made it to Aiya.
But now?
It took both Shi Qianla and Aiya taking turns to defeat me.
If I keep progressing at this rate, one day, my body will fully adapt to leg-crossing, and no big sister will be able to threaten me anymore.
This is a process of being forged through a hundred trials… When that day comes, I, Bai Yue Ling, will sound the horn of counterattack!
Puffing out her chest, Bai Yue Ling’s previously shattered resolve began to mend.
Reorganize, regroup, and set out again!
Watching this, Jelly, still under the bed, couldn’t suppress her urge to snark.
What a beautiful thought… Oh, my foolish Little White, during this leg-crossing process, you’re not the only one improving.
The big sisters are progressing too!
And if your body truly adapts to leg-crossing, that’s not being forged through trials… That’s being trained into a living weapon!
Jelly considered saying this aloud to mercilessly mock her, but decided against it. If she made this cheeky brat face reality too soon, it’d ruin a lot of future fun. So, Jelly kept quiet.
At the same time, even Jelly didn’t notice that, after witnessing tonight’s madness, her own heart was starting to stir.
A queen really does need a consort.
“Oh, I forgot to mention,” Jelly recalled. “While you were getting thoroughly overwhelmed, there was someone hiding under your bed.”
“Huh? Who?”
“The Third Princess, Viki, the one you got thrown into prison.”
Bai Yue Ling was shocked. “Viki escaped? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Jelly replied nonchalantly, “You and Shi Qianla were already that far into it. I didn’t want to interrupt.”
…
Viki was Bai Yue Ling’s enemy, not Jelly’s.
Rather than helping Bai Yue Ling eliminate her foes, Jelly preferred watching her get humbled in bed.
“You… Ugh, fine. She’s probably long gone by now.”
Bai Yue Ling collapsed back onto the bed, exasperated.
Viki had already lost her influence in the Rose Kingdom.
Not only had Aiya and Shi Qianla abandoned her, but the Judgment Church had cut ties with her too. Alone, she couldn’t stir up much trouble.
Instead of logging back in to chase Viki, Bai Yue Ling just wanted to lie down and rest…
Five hours. A whole five hours!
Shi Qianla took two hours, Aiya took three… Toward the end, Bai Yue Ling was terrified Shi Qianla would wake up and team up with Aiya for a “ladies’ doubles match.”
That would’ve been her end.
Wait!
Viki was hiding under the bed the whole time and didn’t come out…
That means all those embarrassing, humiliating sounds she made during those five hours were heard by Viki under the bed!
Realizing this, Bai Yue Ling’s face flushed crimson.
She rolled back and forth on the bed, letting out mortified wails of social death.
Jelly, watching from the side, quipped, “What are you screaming for? The one who should be embarrassed is Viki.
That girl was blushing so hard under the bed, it looked like her face was about to bleed.”
“Huh… You’re right,” Bai Yue Ling considered thoughtfully. “Aiya and Shi Qianla used to be Viki’s subordinates, but now they’ve both been conquered by me. No matter how you look at it, I’m the one coming out on top!”
Jelly sneered, “Idiot. Go sleep and figure out who’s conquering who first.”
Sleep it was. Bai Yue Ling flopped onto the bed, pulled the blanket over her snowy hips, and passed out.
After being thoroughly overwhelmed for five hours, she desperately needed to recover.
“Zzz… Zzz…”
When Bai Yue Ling woke again, it was already 9 a.m.
She stretched like a cat, her peachy curves pressing against her ample chest, then quickly washed up and hugged Jelly before diving back into the gaming pod.
[Welcome to “Destiny World.”]
This time, Bai Yue Ling didn’t spawn in the central plaza.
She stood in a large courtyard, surrounded by a dozen mages in robes, manipulating magic to construct a house like stacking building blocks, shaping it to their desires.
“Little White~”
A familiar voice called from nearby. First Princess Huilian approached with a cheerful smile, holding a strange little box.
Bai Yue Ling blinked in confusion. “What’s going on?”
“Have you forgotten? Mother granted you this courtyard specifically to build a teleportation array for you.”
Huilian gestured around, smiling. “This is your territory now.”
[You have obtained the item: “Land Deed.”]
Bai Yue Ling was stunned. “It’s… this big?”
In the Royal Capital, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, the Queen had given her a plot nearly the size of a football field?
Looks like next time I see the Queen, I’ll have to call her Mommy.
“And this.”
Huilian handed the small box to Bai Yue Ling.
“This is from Lady Sistana, entrusted to me to give to you personally. She said it contains the job advancement materials you need…”
“The Emperor’s New Clothes!”
