446. Hello Pervert
“What kind of nonsense is this~”
Ning Chu sulkily returned to her seat, plopping down with her head resting on the table, cradling it in her hands: “So embarrassing!”
She was just there to enjoy the spectacle! How did she end up having to take the stage for a debate?
So now, she just sat there, grinning like an idiot, while saying nothing throughout the entire debate.
Thankfully, Wen Yang had her back; every time it was her turn to speak, he would stand up and talk instead.
“Lily, this is all your fault.”
Lily had lost her usual rosy demeanor, returning to her typical icy self, though there was a hint of relief in her eyes.
Perhaps, to her, it was more embarrassing to stutter on stage than to spontaneously spill her feelings in front of a crowd.
After all, she was used to the first situation; aside from her acquaintances, no one would notice.
“Just wait until later; you owe me milk tea. This isn’t over.”
“Mm.”
When Wen Yang came back, Ning Chu looked up and asked, “Can we leave now?”
“I’m planning to stick around and watch the next few matches.” Wen Yang chuckled at her uneasy expression, “Why don’t you go have some fun with Lily for now?”
“Well…”
Ning Chu glanced over at the youthful, busty figure not too far away.
After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to trust that Wen Yang had turned her XP into a Succubus shape, so she nodded: “Just make sure to call me when you’re leaving, and we can go grocery shopping together.”
“Sure.”
The two Succubi walked out of the classroom, almost simultaneously sighing in relief.
Lily affectionately linked her arm with Ning Chu’s, pulling her outside the school.
Ning Chu paused, surprised at Lily’s unusual boldness, and looked towards the school gate in confusion: “Isn’t this where we’re going for milk tea? Where are we heading?”
“There’s a new place that just opened.”
“Oh~”
Ning Chu rarely spent time alone with Lily, and when they did, it was often in a private setting where they could discuss topics that intrigued Succubi.
But walking down the street now, intimate topics were off the table, leaving her unsure about what to chat about.
Fortunately, the typically quiet Lily broke the silence, asking, “Was yesterday successful?”
She helped Ning Chu pick out groceries and recipes, contributing to Wen Yang’s birthday celebration.
“Ugh, don’t mention it.” Ning Chu couldn’t help but complain, “The cake shop you recommended? The cake came with the frosting all messed up!”
“The ring I got for Wen Yang didn’t fit either; I had to send it back for an exchange today.”
“At least Wen Yang seemed pretty happy~ My cooking isn’t too shabby~”
Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief: “So, it was excellent then?”
“……”
Ning Chu shot Lily a glare, her face heating up as she refrained from answering.
Why does this Succubus always go straight to those kinda topics?!
Though it did feel pretty great…
“You should really focus on yourself and find a boyfriend soon.” Ning Chu sighed. “I think you’re getting more out of control by the day.”
Toys can only do so much, especially for a Succubus like Lily, who is all theory and no experience with men.
In the stories, Lily became easy prey for the Male Protagonist because she’d been repressing her instincts for so long; a simple flirt would turn her from a cold Ice Mountain Goddess into a Succubus with insatiable needs.
Lily’s expression turned a bit melancholic; she lowered her head and quietly replied, “Mm.”
“If you repress too much, it can get terrifying.” Ning Chu worried for Lily. “You wouldn’t want to lose your sanity and leap onto a man someday, right?”
Lily’s face went pale, and she shook her head vigorously.
“So, you really need to find a boyfriend…”
She didn’t respond, instead fiddling with her mobile phone. A moment later, her phone vibrated in her little handbag.
“We’re so familiar now.” Ning Chu grumbled as she pulled out her phone. “Why do we still have to talk online…”
Looking at the product link, her mouth twitched.
It was a grotesque square machine lying on the ground that she had only seen in other Little Emperor Wen stories.
“I hear it’s super powerful!”
“How would you use that in the dorm?”
Sure enough, this was a topic best discussed online.
Lily’s toys were getting increasingly bizarre!
That Cthulhu-style tentacle was already strange enough, but now she was going straight for a machine? It was giving her goosebumps!
“When I kicked them all out.”
Ning Chu paused then typed, “Won’t it break…?”
“I’m a Succubus! It should be fine, right?”
She looked at the bold and blushing words on the phone screen then glanced back at the cold-looking Lily beside her.
Though she already knew Lily’s secret was oozing with danger, every encounter still stunned her anew.
Good thing Lily was introverted; if she were as daring as online, Lily would probably be a familiar face on silver dating sites.
“Do as you like.” Ning Chu sighed. “Aren’t men better? I mean, there are enough guys waiting in line from the east gate of the school to the west. Pick a handsome one who’s good in bed; it’s definitely better than all this!”
Lily shook her head with a cold expression: “I hate men.”
“Why do you hate men so much?”
Upon hearing the question, she pursed her lips and turned away.
Ning Chu, sensing her discomfort, followed Lily into the newly opened milk tea shop outside school.
This milk tea shop also served fried chicken and skewers, and it had just opened this semester. Since she lived in a rental apartment, she had seen these new places but had never been inside.
“The chicken legs are delicious.” Lily pointed at the menu and whispered, “Xinya orders it every day.”
“Then… I’ll have a fried chicken leg and a matcha milk green tea with coconut jelly.” As soon as she finished speaking, Lily tugged at Ning Chu’s sleeve a few times, so she added, “Make that two of each.”
After finding a cozy spot in the milk tea shop, Ning Chu twiddled her fingers, gazing dazedly at the menu on the wall.
She wasn’t as lively as Yan Xinya; without a topic, her interactions with Lily fell a bit awkward.
That’s why Yan Xinya and Lily were such a perfect pair… a Husky meeting a high-cool white cat?
When the server brought over the fried chicken legs and milk tea, it was Lily who broke the silence first: “Ning Chu.”
“What’s up?”
“I’m a Magical Girl now.”
Holding her milk tea cup, Ning Chu’s hand trembled, and she looked up in disbelief: “You didn’t fall for that black cat’s tricks again, did you?”
“Curious.”
“Um… curiosity kills the cat, you know.”
But there was a fierce glint of curiosity in Lily’s eyes, her expression as if she had opened the door to a New World.
Seeing that look, Ning Chu knew this girl was hopeless, even though there was no regretting a path not taken.
“Did you find any Evil Demons?”
“Right here.”
Lily pulled out a water cup with a little octopus inside.
“……”
Of course it was that octopus!
Ning Chu’s thoughts went wildly astray: “You’re not planning to raise it and… use it as a toy, are you?”
“Ah?”
Lily blinked in confusion, looking at Ning Chu with a strange expression, as if they were meeting for the first time: “You’re such a pervert…”
“???”
Who are you calling a pervert?!
