Seeing Xuelong lying motionless on the ground, Bai Yue-ling froze slightly and stared at Vicky in disbelief.
“You… you knocked her out?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Vicky shrugged. “There’s no one else here anyway, so why not corrupt her?”
“But she’s your own sister.”
“So what?”
Vicky showed no guilt at all. The corners of her lips curved into a sly arc. “I’m helping Second Sister understand the truth of the world. Once she becomes like me, she’ll definitely thank me.”
Bai Yue-ling shrank her neck, thinking that ever since everyone got corrupted, they had all become more and more unhinged. It was as if they could not wait to drag others down with them.
Aya was like that. Sistana was like that. And now even Vicky… No—Vicky had always been a scheming, wicked woman. Betraying her own sister was perfectly normal for her.
Bai Yue-ling scratched her head awkwardly. “Uh… to be honest, I didn’t actually plan to corrupt her. I wanted to fight her properly.”
“If you don’t corrupt her, how could you possibly defeat Second Sister?” Vicky countered. “She’s a veteran powerhouse who’s fought countless battles. She’s killed more enemies than you and I have ever seen. Her combat skills are already perfected. Even if you both fell back to level one, you still couldn’t beat her.”
“That’s because… I’m confident.”
Bai Yue-ling patted her soft, full chest, making the vines covering her body sway slightly, as if they might fall apart the next moment.
What a joke. Your Big Sister Xuelong has fought countless battles—does that mean I, Little Bai, haven’t?
Ten playthroughs of combat experience—are you kidding me?
Vicky looked at her doubtfully. “Little Bai… are you really that confident?”
“Of course.” Bai Yue-ling planted her hands on her hips and raised her chin. “When have I ever lost?”
“In bed.”
“Uh… that doesn’t count. I always let you win.”
“Really?”
“Guh… really… probably?”
Bai Yue-ling straddled Xuelong and looked down at that smooth, flawless, snow-white skin that seemed as delicate as if it might break with a touch. She could not help swallowing.
Alright, she would take back her earlier mocking remarks. Xuelong really was well-endowed—the sporty big-sister type like Aya, every curve on her body filled with strength and beauty.
It was just that this big sister’s personality was a bit too blunt. She needed some proper training… No, no, getting off track.
Although Xuelong had not fallen into a “Weakened” state, under the effect of Vicky’s soul magic, her mental defenses had become extremely fragile. This allowed Bai Yue-ling’s corruption power to invade deep into her consciousness without obstruction. The entire process was easier than typing one thousand words within an hour.
And such an extremely simple operation reminded Bai Yue-ling of an invitation she had once made to Vicky—hypnosis plus corruption equals invincible.
And now, under their cooperation, that formula had become reality.
[You have successfully inflicted the “Corruption” status on the target “Xuelong.”]
[Current Corruption Value: twenty percent.]
The dense corruption power polluted the pure white Phoenix-blood Knight. Bai Yue-ling wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat to one side, while Vicky leaned down and pressed a hand against the back of Xuelong’s head. “Next I’ll erase her memory, and…”
At that moment, the door behind them suddenly opened.
Huilian, wearing a silver-black dress, walked in. At a glance she saw Bai Yue-ling and Vicky scheming over the unconscious Xuelong, and she could not help pausing slightly.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh, well…” Bai Yue-ling wanted to explain, but the lingering aura of corruption around them left her at a loss for words.
Vicky had not expected Huilian to barge in either. She quickly withdrew the magic in her hand and said with a smile, “Big Sister, listen to me…”
There was no need for words. Huilian had already sensed the dark, fallen aura in the air, as well as the mind-altering magic in Vicky’s hand. Her green brows knit slightly. Her gaze moved back and forth between her two younger sisters and Bai Yue-ling, her eyes deep with unreadable thoughts.
Huilian was the peace-loving Grand Princess, but her principle was that necessary violence could be used for the sake of peace—such as the divine war launched against the Dark Faction a thousand years ago. From this it was clear that Huilian detested the Dark Faction.
And Bai Yue-ling’s corruption happened to radiate darkness and depravity.
Just as Bai Yue-ling and Vicky thought Huilian would place righteousness before family, she merely smiled lightly, as if she had seen nothing, and said to Bai Yue-ling, “Little Bai, Lady Sistana is calling for you.”
“Huh? Oh, okay~”
Bai Yue-ling wisely said nothing more. Swaying her hips, she followed Huilian out.
Before leaving, Huilian cast Vicky a meaningful glance. Though she said nothing, Vicky clearly received the message—
Never use soul magic on family again.
The door closed once more, and the footsteps of the two girls gradually faded away.
Vicky sat where she was, breathing softly. At some point her back had already been soaked with fragrant sweat.
“I almost thought I’d be punished by family law… Big Sister actually let me off just like that? Why?”
“Was it because of Little Bai? Or was she not actually opposed to corruption?”
Unable to grasp her elder sister’s thoughts, Vicky could only continue what she needed to do: erase Xuelong’s memories before she lost consciousness, and give her a reasonable explanation so she would think she had simply fallen asleep.
“Come to think of it, I really don’t know where Little Bai’s confidence comes from. Her skills are indeed good, but how could she possibly defeat Second Sister?”
“At this rate, won’t she end up kneeling naked before Second Sister, begging for mercy?”
“Wait…”
Imagining the fragrant, scandalous scene of the confident white-haired, big-breasted girl being counter-killed by the big sister and begging publicly for mercy, Vicky’s breathing could not help quickening slightly, as if she had discovered a new continent.
“Perhaps letting Little Bai lose the match would be more interesting?”
“I know what I should do.”
After finishing the modification of Xuelong’s memories, Vicky summoned Aya and Shiqianla.
After returning to the royal capital, Vicky sincerely apologized to Aya and Shiqianla. These two friends chose to forgive her and resumed serving as her personal guard and secretary.
“Your Highness~ what’s going on here?” Shiqianla flew in flapping her wings in crow form, then transformed into human shape and landed lightly.
Aya also walked over and, seeing the unconscious Xuelong, asked in confusion, “Did you have a conflict with Princess Xuelong?”
“It’s not a conflict.” Vicky wagged a finger and smiled slyly. “I just pulled Second Sister into our camp.”
“Oh~” The two immediately understood.
With three girls whose corruption values had reached one hundred percent together, they could clearly feel the corruption power linking them. Their bond was even stronger than before, so naturally they hoped others would join them too.
“Aya, help me carry Second Sister back to her room. Shiqianla, help me compile a list.”
At Vicky’s request, Shiqianla quickly produced the list.
On it were names like Trinev and Sistana—natives of the Fate World—as well as interworld travelers like Yingye and Lie-lie.
They had one thing in common: all had accepted Bai Yue-ling’s corruption power.
“Little Bai, since you dragged everyone into the abyss of corruption, then in the most humiliating posture, obediently apologize to everyone, okay?”
“You wouldn’t refuse such a small request… would you?”
Vicky muttered to herself while beginning to check where the best seats in the arena were.
Very soon, Bai Yue-ling would understand why the system had said that after corruption, Vicky had become even more dangerous than before.
