Lin Qin hesitated, but her gaze still couldn’t help stealing glances at Su Wanyue’s black hair, which shimmered under the light.
‘Why do I feel like this young lady has an inexplicable charm?’
‘Forget it, I’m not into girls. It’s better to mind my own business.’
“Let’s get back to the main topic.”
Lin Qin redirected the conversation.
“The unusual Erosion Beast attack happened half a month ago.”
Lin Qin spoke slowly.
‘Half a month ago, wasn’t that when Serafica descended?’
‘So you really did lead the enemy here?’
“In that attack, we successfully killed the leading Bright Moon Rank Erosion Beast, but strangely, the other Bright Moon Rank individuals didn’t flee.”
That was indeed strange.
Erosion Beasts above Bright Moon Rank had intelligence comparable to wild animals.
Watching a stronger member of their kind get killed, fleeing should have been an instinct carved into their bones.
But in Su Wanyue’s view, this clue was now useless.
Because she had already met the witch behind the scenes, and apparently, she couldn’t beat her.
Even with Chitian Ai plus herself, they probably wouldn’t even qualify to lick Estella’s shoes.
‘Ah… damn.’
Su Wanyue unconsciously pressed her legs together, a hard-to-describe feeling rising from her lower abdomen.
‘Oh no, I drank too much cola just now, and now I need to go to the bathroom!’
When she was locked in the small dark room by Ai, Su Wanyue’s meals and drinks were all arranged by her disciple.
Although the food was delicious, it was a bit too disconnected from ordinary life. Apart from the occasional bowl of plain porridge, almost everything was luxurious delicacies.
So much so that after arriving in Dongchuan City, seeing a can of ordinary cola felt like discovering a rare treasure.
‘No, this isn’t the time to think about that!’
The feeling of a girl’s “urgency” was completely different from when she was a guy.
The swollen, numbing, almost uncontrollable shame made her restless.
“I’ve already seen the witch behind it all. Next time, I will definitely eliminate her…”
Before Chitian Ai could finish her sentence, her sleeve was gently tugged.
Turning around, she saw her teacher’s face slightly flushed, her legs pressed together and rubbing anxiously, her skirt hem crumpled in her grip.
“Teacher, what’s wrong? Did that witch cast a curse on you?”
Su Wanyue looked up, her voice carrying a hint of unmistakable shyness.
“I want to go to the restroom.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to go by herself, but… her disciple’s possessiveness was simply terrifying.
Su Wanyue was very clear: if she dared to “suddenly disappear” again, what she’d see when she got home would probably be Ai with empty eyes, holding a fruit knife.
“Miss Chitian Ai, do you need to take her?” Lin Qin paused at the right moment.
“No need! I’ll go myself!”
‘Wearing this collar out here is already embarrassing enough. At least for going to the bathroom, let me do it myself, okay!’
“Teacher, are you sure you don’t need me to accompany you?”
‘I… I’ll be fine.’
‘Stop torturing me!’
‘No, I can’t hold it… it feels like it’s about to burst.’
‘If it leaks, I’d rather be stabbed to death.’
“Alright, Teacher, go ahead. Be careful.”
Su Wanyue didn’t even finish listening to Chitian Ai’s words before she rushed out.
Inside the women’s restroom stall.
As the tension in her body gradually eased, Su Wanyue’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
The whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the faint sound of water and her own slightly rapid breathing.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
The sound of high heels clicking on the ceramic tiles echoed in the quiet restroom.
‘High heels?’
Su Wanyue was a bit puzzled.
If she heard this sound in a mall restroom, it wouldn’t be a problem.
But this was the Hunter Base!
‘Is it administrative staff?’
‘But the remaining administrative staff aren’t really useful now, are they?’
The sound of high heels stopped precisely at the stall door where Su Wanyue was.
“Occupied,” Su Wanyue called out, instinctively lowering her voice.
But it seemed the other person didn’t hear; the door handle was turned extremely slowly.
Su Wanyue’s expression froze.
‘Huh?’
‘Could it be a pervert wandering the restroom?’
Panicked, she grabbed her skirt and tried to pull it up.
But it was already too late.
Beneath Su Wanyue’s unbearably shameful state, she felt most of her body was exposed to the person in front of her.
The heavy breathing she had heard before sounded again.
“Oh my~ What a coincidence, little sister Yue, you’re using the restroom too.”
“Pervert!”
Su Wanyue almost screamed.
‘Ai, you were right. I might really need your help.’
‘If I could do it over, I’d never go to the bathroom alone again!’
“Haa… little Yue, I’ve set up my domain. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will hear you,” Estella said.
Su Wanyue finally understood what Serafica meant.
‘This is a complete and utter pervert!’
“S-Stay away from me!”
“Little sister Yue, are you being spoiled?”
With her magic power completely sealed, Su Wanyue could only curl up on the toilet lid.
She hugged her knees tightly, like a frightened cat.
Su Wanyue had once fantasized about being cornered by a gentle older sister.
But back then, she was still a guy!
At the door, Estella approached step by step, her eyes gleaming with the joy of a hunter finally cornering the most delicious prey.
“Got you.”
Su Wanyue’s mind went blank.
…
After being thoroughly groped, Su Wanyue was blushing as she frantically tried to straighten her messy hair and wrinkled skirt, attempting to make it look like nothing bad had happened.
Estella, on the other hand, licked her lips and squinted with lingering satisfaction.
“Little sister Yue, won’t you reconsider? Holding you while sleeping must be so comfortable, soft and fragrant~”
“Don’t push your luck!”
In Estella’s eyes, Su Wanyue was like a spitting cat.
“Survival of the fittest, the strong eat the weak. Isn’t that a concept you humans came up with first?”
Estella wanted to continue coaxing the bristling little wildcat.
Who wouldn’t want to take home a cute stray cat wandering outside?
“This is nothing but invasion!”
“My, my, looks like Serafica didn’t tell you anything?” Estella tilted her head slightly.
“Tell me what?”
Su Wanyue was puzzled. ‘What secrets could the Erosion Beasts have?’
In the Hunters’ conventional understanding, weren’t Erosion Beasts just monsters that appeared from nowhere?
“Those creatures you call Erosion Beasts are actually just beings from other worlds.”
Estella continued.
“It’s just that they come from different worlds, even different dimensions, so their forms naturally change.”
