Amethyst shook her head. “It’s not that bad, actually. I still think she’s a very cute girl.”
Bai Yue Ling continued munching on the drama. “Then why doesn’t she want to see you, but you’re so insistent on meeting her?”
“Because there was a misunderstanding between us. That misunderstanding made her shut herself in every day, with almost no friends… The misunderstanding started because of me, so I should take responsibility and help her out of her predicament.”
Amethyst leaned her soft, rounded hips against the wall, gazing into the distance. A faint melancholy filled the depths of her enchanting eyes.
“Over this past year, I’ve called her every week, encouraging her to leave that little room. I’ve sent her milk tea, cakes, cookies… But it hasn’t helped at all. She still stays home, refusing to go out, no matter how much I persuade her…”
Amethyst let out a helpless sigh. “If this keeps up, what will happen to her in the future? Staying cooped up at home every day—how will she face society when she grows up?”
“That’s way too jerkish! How dare she brush off a big sister’s kindness like that!” Bai Yue Ling fumed indignantly. “If you ask me, she should obediently follow you home and then do a full nude dogeza to apologize!”
Amethyst shook her head. “That’s impossible. She won’t go out, and she doesn’t want me at her place either. I’m completely out of ideas.”
Bai Yue Ling thought for a moment and suggested, “Then maybe you should try seductive temptation?”
“…What?”
“You know, the thing your race is best at.”
“…You’re already perfectly in the ‘big sister’ category. Why not give it a shot? It’s not like you’ll lose anything.”
“This… seductive stuff with temptation…”
“I’ve never done anything like that…”
“Then now’s the time to learn.”
Bai Yue Ling raised her index finger and began analyzing methodically.
“Since she’s a teenage girl, her desires must be strong. She either likes petite, adorable lolis, or slender, beautiful young women, or big-breasted, long-legged big sisters…”
“This…” Amethyst was starting to get tempted. “So what should I do?”
“Do you have her Penguin ID?”
“No… Just her phone number.”
“That’s enough. Listen—next time you call her, use that mature, gentle voice and deliberately say some really tempting things…”
“What kind of things?”
“You can look them up online. There’s tons of material out there. Just read a segment casually, and I guarantee you’ll have her completely tamed. She’ll get all itchy inside after hearing it, unable to sleep without your voice every night, even dreaming about chatting with you…”
“Is it really that exaggerated?”
“Of course! Start with a few persistent calls. If she doesn’t show obvious disgust, then try asking for her Penguin ID. Upgrade from phone calls to video chats, then gaming together, and finally meet in person!”
“Hmm…” Amethyst lacked confidence. “But I don’t think I can achieve the effect you’re describing.”
“No, no, no—you’re underestimating your own charm.” Bai Yue Ling chuckled lightly. “Be confident. You’re a beautiful, seductive big sister. One look from you can make those little girls’ hearts race. Just seeing you makes them want to bury themselves in your arms for warmth…”
“Enough, I get it…” Amethyst’s cheeks flushed faintly. She bowed to Bai Yue Ling in thanks. “Thank you. I’ll think it over after logging off and try calling her.”
“No need to thank me—it’s nothing. Helping big sisters is my duty.” Bai Yue Ling waved it off. “Speaking of which… what were we originally supposed to be doing?”
After chatting so long, they’d nearly forgotten their original goal.
The priority was to find the Succubus Queen’s inheritance.
Amethyst opened her quest log to confirm. “The quest location is in the Coiling Dragon Mountains, but we don’t know the exact spot. The closer we get, the stronger the vibration from the ‘Chaos Arrow of the Charm Goddess’ on me.”
Bai Yue Ling said, “Then let’s wander around the base of the mountains first to pinpoint the general area.”
Shadow Night and Amethyst both agreed, and the three set off toward the city gates.
Songyuan City was much smaller than the Royal Capital. They hadn’t walked far before spotting the distant gates.
But just then, a sudden argument from the roadside caught their attention.
“It’s her—she bumped into me! Bad guy!”
A little loli was sitting on the ground, crying and fussing while pointing at a girl nearby completely shrouded in black cloth.
Black-Clad Figure? Bai Yue Ling frowned slightly.
No—the Black-Clad Figures all wore uniform clothing. They wouldn’t just drape a simple black sheet over themselves like that.
The black-clothed girl defended herself. “I clearly didn’t bump into you. You weren’t watching where you were going and ran into me yourself.”
“No way—it was definitely you who bumped me first! With that heavy chest, you must be hiding some kind of deadly weapon!”
Was it the girl committing a chest-bump foul?
Or the loli scamming?
Their quarrel quickly drew onlookers. The loli cried louder and louder, as if trying to attract everyone possible.
The black-clothed girl kept defending herself while constantly glancing around, seemingly on guard for something.
Gradually, she lost patience and threatened, “Shut up, you little brat! Keep crying, and I’ll roast you into charcoal!”
Unexpectedly, the loli cried even harder. “Waaah…”
Right then, an old woman rushed out from the crowd, scooping the loli into her arms and exclaiming loudly, “My child! What happened to you?”
The loli immediately stopped crying, her eyes going blank, drool trickling from her mouth as if she’d been concussed. “Abababa…”
Bai Yue Ling watching from the side couldn’t help but mutter—this acting is way too fake!
“Waaah… My child… She’s been knocked silly just like that…”
The old woman wailed dramatically, then suddenly set the child down and grabbed the black-clothed girl’s ankle, shouting sternly, “It was you! You harmed my child—you’re not going anywhere!”
The black-clothed girl was clearly startled. She quickly kicked her leg, fuming, “Let go, you old hag! Don’t push your luck!”
“Waaah… Everyone, judge this for me! She’s trying to beat someone in broad daylight!” The old woman yelled while clinging tightly to the black-clothed girl’s leg.
The black-clothed girl kept trying to shake her off, all while nervously scanning the surroundings, clearly wary of something.
With the old woman’s commotion, the crowd grew larger. It wouldn’t be long before guards arrived.
“Looks like it’s actually a scam. Little Bai, should we get involved?” Shadow Night murmured. Seeing no response, she turned back. “Little Bai?”
Bai Yue Ling’s eyes were wide, staring fixedly at the black-clothed girl’s ankle. Her expression gradually turned serious.
Under that black cloth… isn’t there a red dragon tail swishing around?
