After getting dressed, Su Xiaocheng reluctantly left the luxurious soft bed and asked, “Xiaolu, where are we going? The Anning City branch?”
Lu Yinxi replied, “Yes. Today we need to review last night’s witch disaster and draw up the follow-up work plan.”
When Xiaobai tracked the witches she had suffered a counterattack, so there might still be some that slipped through in Anning City.
They also had to guard against witches fleeing to the counties under their jurisdiction, although most of that would fall to the logistics department.
“But before that.”
Lu Yinxi pushed Su Xiaocheng back onto the bed and leisurely picked up the remaining white garment from the bedside.
“Do I have to wear this too?”
Su Xiaocheng looked at the white knee-high stockings in Lu Yinxi’s hand.
After transforming for so many days, she really hadn’t worn this kind of clothing yet.
“Of course. Or are you planning to go out like this?”
Lu Yinxi cupped Su Xiaocheng’s small foot as if appreciating a piece of art.
“I can put it on myself.”
“You can, but I don’t recommend it.”
Lu Yinxi slid the white stockings onto the jade-like foot, slowly unrolling them upward.
Her fingers guided the fabric across Su Xiaocheng’s calf, all the way up to mid-thigh.
Lu Yinxi released her hand, and the fabric snapped against the girl’s elastic thigh with a crisp “pa” sound.
Su Xiaocheng felt as if an electric current had run through her body.
The smooth, snug touch of the stockings and the tight wrapping sensation on her legs was an experience she had never had before.
“All~ done~”
Lu Yinxi was very satisfied with Su Xiaocheng’s reaction.
“Let’s go~”
“Mm…”
Su Xiaocheng shyly squeezed her legs together.

In the Anning City branch lounge, Youzi rested her cheek in one hand, a lollipop in her mouth. The white stick swayed with her movements.
“So, why did you two come together?”
Youzi’s suspicious gaze swept over the obviously expensive dress Su Xiaocheng was wearing.
Su Xiaocheng didn’t speak and shrank behind Lu Yinxi.
“It was a coincidence, just a coincidence~”
Lu Yinxi’s lips curved up slightly as she handed Youzi a specially made small box.
“This is a new product. It should still be useful for you.”
Youzi took the small box and set it aside, sighing.
“They released a new product already? The R&D speed is really fast.”
She didn’t press further about the two’s relationship.
“Never mind. Xiaocheng should be fine anyway.”
Lu Yinxi had become a magical girl two and a half years ago.
After knowing each other for so long, Youzi had long noticed the heavy yuri nature hidden beneath Lu Yinxi’s perfect and exquisite appearance.
When Xiaobai became a magical girl a year ago, Youzi had specifically warned Lu Yinxi.
The reason was simple—at the time, Xiaobai was 17 and in her second year of high school.
Youzi took out the statistics report that logistics had just finished.
“For last night’s witch disaster, there were 78 deaths, 313 injuries, a total of 35 C-rank witches eliminated, additional bonus of 200,000 yuan, grand total 1.25 million yuan. Contribution ratio: me 50%, Xiaobai 30%, Xiaocheng 20%. Any objections?”
For team operations, rewards were distributed according to contribution.
“None.”
“None, the say.”
Listening to the results, Lu Yinxi said helplessly,
“Youzi, you should have waited for me to come back before taking action.”
“How could we leave witches running around the city all night?”
Youzi replied.
Lu Yinxi said, “This witch disaster was very suspicious. Although Anning City’s detector density isn’t as high as first-tier cities, a total of 37 witches and only one was detected in advance—this is extremely rare. Moreover, even for a same-origin C-rank witch group, their intelligence shouldn’t be enough for coordinated operations.”
“So the follow-up work needs to be done carefully. Hopefully this was just a coincidence. For today, we’ll pair up and check the city again. Xiaolu, you take Xiaocheng and handle the northeast districts.”
“No problem. We’ll also take the city center,” Lu Yinxi said, satisfied with Youzi’s arrangement.
“We’ll go to the city center together.” Youzi shook her head.
“Yesterday witches appeared in all four districts, but the city center was completely quiet. I’m a bit uneasy.”
“Got it. Then Xiaocheng, let’s go.”
Lu Yinxi naturally took Su Xiaocheng’s hand and led the now steaming-headed girl out of the Anning City branch.
Xiaobai watched the two leave hand in hand and asked, “Are they female colleagues, the say?”
The small cake Youzi had just picked up nearly fell to the floor.
She asked with a serious face, “Who taught you to say that?”
Xiaobai pointed at the game console in her hand. “The game, the say.”
Youzi breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yes. Xiaobai, you should stay far away from them, or they’ll eat you up. People like them love eating cute little girls like you the most!”
Xiaobai stayed silent and lowered her head to continue playing her game.
On the screen, two adorable girls were walking hand in hand down the street.

“Miss, welcome back.”
The impeccably dressed elderly gentleman in a suit opened the car door for them.
“To the East District,” Lu Yinxi said, naturally guiding Su Xiaocheng into the car.
Although she had experienced it on the way here, Su Xiaocheng still couldn’t help but click her tongue.
Just yesterday she had thought she had become rich, and today she had stumbled into the world of the ultra-wealthy.
“By the way, Xiaolu, how much was the hotel last night? I’ll transfer it to you,” Su Xiaocheng said. This morning, when she realized she had spent the night in the supreme VIP suite at Ningxi International, her vision had gone black. One night here cost enough to feed her for half a year on takeout.
Even with Lu Yinxi’s experience, she short-circuited for two and a half seconds after hearing that.
“Xiaocheng, do you know? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of someone getting slept with and then actively offering to pay for the room.”
“W-what?”
Su Xiaocheng tried to maintain her last shred of dignity, but all she got in return was Lu Yinxi pinching and kneading her cheeks even more enthusiastically.

In the evening, after completing all the inspections, the four magical girls gathered in the lobby of the Ningxi Hotel.
Youzi asked, “Xiaobai, did the map show any abnormalities?”
Xiaobai shook her head. “None, the say.” Every sign indicated that Anning City was perfectly peaceful right now.
“No abnormalities in the counties either.”
Youzi put down her terminal.
“Looks like this witch disaster is completely over. Sigh, I have to submit a summary report tomorrow. Xiaolu, can you help me write it?”
“Sorry, I already have plans,” Lu Yinxi rejected her without mercy.
“What are you doing?”
Youzi asked casually, only to see Lu Yinxi give her a mysterious smile.
“…Don’t tire Xiaocheng out too much.”
Youzi mentally grumbled, She’s really going to do it.
Lu Yinxi suggested, “Let’s have a celebration banquet. I already ordered a luxurious three-layer cake.”
“Wouldn’t that be too much?”
Youzi said with her mouth, but her body was honest as she headed straight for the hotel elevator.
“Same private room as before?”
After the celebration banquet ended, Youzi and Xiaobai left separately.
Su Xiaocheng was about to slip away when Lu Yinxi hugged her from behind.
“Xiaocheng, you drank quite a bit tonight, right? It wouldn’t be safe to walk home at night. Why don’t you rest here?”
Su Xiaocheng: “Didn’t we only drink juice tonight?”
“My lark can do backflips. Xiaocheng, do you want to see?”
The lark: “Me? Ah, yes, yes, yes.”
In short, Su Xiaocheng was brought back by Lu Yinxi to the familiar supreme VIP suite.
