Chapter 104: Making a Decision Against Sister Bai
“Hey? We’re in already?”
I widened my eyes, incredulous, but soon, a strange, stimulating scent wafted toward me.
It seemed we were in another space; once inside, the environment appeared a bit dim, somewhat reminiscent of dusk. It seemed this space did not accept light from the outside world very well.
Moreover, the noise here formed a stark contrast to the liveliness outside.
“Xiao Han, how did you manage this?” Bai Yu looked at me in shock, then glanced around at the environment, unable to deny the fact that she had indeed come in! And accompanied by Xiao Han too!
“Well, Spirit Vision, heh~” I explained quietly.
“Tsk… I should have thought of that earlier. Xiao Han, let’s hurry back; this isn’t a good place, really.”
“Hey? We’re going back already? Sister Bai, you must know what this place is, right? Can’t you tell me?”
“I’ll tell you when we get back, quickly, Xiao Han, do you know how to get back?”
“Um… if I say I don’t, is that a big deal?”
In the end, I tentatively asked, then looked at the dead end behind me. Since I could come in, going out should be easy, but if I didn’t explore a little, I would really regret it!
Of course, if Sister Bai said it was dangerous here, I would return without hesitation.
But since Sister Bai didn’t say that, it implied that the safety here was still assured; after all, this was an academy.
The reason I hadn’t rushed outside to check the situation was that I was worried about the possibility of danger, so I wanted to see Sister Bai’s reaction first.
“You! Hey… Xiao Han, having such a strong curiosity is really not good; this isn’t a good place…”
However, after meeting my eager and curious gaze, Bai Yu softened, conflicted for a while before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
“Since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
Bai Yu looked at me and seemed to understand my attitude. If she didn’t speak, I might really not be able to go back from here.
The exits she knew did not include this place; if she took Xiao Han out through any of those exits, Xiao Han would definitely see what was here.
“Really!”
“Yes, here… remember I mentioned the Street of Elegance to you before?”
“Street of Elegance? Hey? Is this it?”
Instantly, I widened my eyes; I had heard about this place at least twice, and I never expected to stumble upon it today!
A flush instantly spread across my face. After all, I had never been to a place like this in my past life or even now!
The Street of Elegance—a name that already said so much!
“Yes, so you understand now, right? You’re not allowed to come here in the future! Got it?”
“Um… understood.” I replied, sulking, since it was also my own stubbornness that brought me here, but I never imagined it would turn out like this!
“That’s good to hear. Let’s hurry back.” Bai Yu pointed to the dead end behind me, looking at my eager acceptance of the truth.
“This… we’re just going back like this?” I asked, slightly regretful.
“Yes, are you really wanting to stroll around here? Be careful, or I’ll spank you!”
“Can’t I at least take a quick look?”
“No.”
“But I really don’t know how to get back… Sister Bai, since you’re so familiar with this place, you must know of another way back, right?”
At this moment, I steeled my heart, pinching the edge of my clothes and made a decision against Sister Bai.
At worst, I would go back and admit my mistake—I’d accept a spanking—but this rare opportunity… I was really curious about what a place like the Witch Academy was like, and whether those seniors were also… um… no, this seemed a bit too stimulating! I just wanted to think about it…
“A lying Xiao Han is not a good child! Be careful, or I will punish you when we go back!”
“I’m already a big kid! And I’m a girl, too! Without the tools to commit a crime, there’s no way to do anything!”
“Well… the witches in the Witch Academy don’t care if you’re a girl; their… ahem, anyway, that has nothing to do with whether you’re a boy!”
“So it’s all girls here?”
“Hmph! Of course not a single boy in the Witch Academy. Be careful, or the seniors here will leave you with nothing but bones!”
“But… I still have Sister Bai; you’ll protect me, right?”
I continued to speak in a teasing manner, but for some reason, I felt like I was pushing it a bit too far this time… Maybe I should find an excuse to leave soon.
Today marked my reunion with Sister Bai, and it wasn’t good to make our relationship so awkward…
Sister Bai, quickly refuse so I can find an excuse to leave!
At that moment, I was already thinking about how to repent for this matter.
“Hmph, of course, I will protect you. It’s truly that there’s no way… Let’s go, since you want to see it, I’ll show you. If I don’t let you experience the dangers here, I’d never know if you’d come back on your own later!”
In the end, Sister Bai compromised, bending to my insistence and curiosity.
Rather than worry that I’d always think about this later, it was better to take Xiao Han to see it now; after all, she couldn’t keep Xiao Han in the dark forever.
“Um… huh? Hey? Sister Bai, what did you just say?” I widened my eyes, ready to head back now, but she was willing to take me to see more?
Was this change too sudden?
“This time, you won’t have the chance to regret. Let’s go; really, I’ll show you the other side of the academy. This is… the Street of Elegance.”
Bai Yu pulled my hand and walked out of the dead end, and I truly witnessed the scenery here.
Unlike the liveliness outside, everything here was very… stimulating. The seniors passing by seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.
They wore revealing and indulgent clothing, and along the street, various tempting slogans could be seen, with enthusiastic seniors teasing passing young girls.
This dazzling and breathtaking scenery constantly stimulated my nerves; at this moment, I felt as if my phantom limbs had awakened.
The air seemed filled with an unknown fragrance that stirred my emotions, causing my heartbeat to quicken significantly.
Warm-toned lights added a hint of artificial warmth to the already dim environment.
Many passing seniors even ignored Bai Yu, who had a cold expression, reaching out to playfully tease me.
But I dodged them one by one, while some were scared off by Bai Yu’s intimidating aura.
At that moment, I truly experienced the warmth here, and what it meant to be left with nothing but bones.
If I were walking here alone, I could forget about leaving this place…
Perhaps there truly was no danger to life here, but it was the most dangerous place, where a moment of carelessness could lead to regrettable consequences.
I quietly swallowed, inching closer to Bai Yu’s side.
Bai Yu noticed my instinctive reaction, and a slight smile crossed her lips as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder, seemingly trying to give me a sense of security.
“Have you seen the horrors here? Would you dare come again next time?”
“Ah… this, I—I wouldn’t dare.”
This time, I genuinely didn’t dare. Although I felt a longing, I sensed that if I took that step, there would be no turning back.
I didn’t want to completely fall into depravity!
Isn’t it better to quietly and purely be my own self?
