Without a second thought, Bai Xiaonuo grabbed a small backpack since she didn’t have much luggage anyway.
It had only been a month since she transformed into a busty girl, and she hadn’t had time to buy many clothes.
Just stuffing a few outfits, chargers, and her tablet inside, she slung the backpack over her shoulder and headed out.
“Do you have somewhere to go?” Her Ancestor asked curiously.
“No, I’ll just find a café to sit in first,” Bai Xiaonuo said. “A good environment will help me make calm decisions.”
“……”
Several hours passed. In the quiet, lazy afternoon, a few people dressed as property maintenance and sanitation staff quietly entered the Apartment Building.
They didn’t stop on any floors and headed straight to the fifth floor—the one where Bai Xiaonuo and Zero used to live.
Actually, it didn’t matter much anymore because the building no longer had any residents.
The bloodstains on the floor had long dried up, but the traces were still faintly visible.
Everything had happened too fast; just as these people were about to act, the Murder Ghost’s surgical knife sliced through their throats.
Those at the back seemed to sense something, but as soon as they raised their hands to resist, their lives were instantly taken.
“The entire second squad has been wiped out,” the speaker’s voice trembled. “The combat was very brief.”
Among the teams tracking Zero, the first squad was reconnaissance, the second was combat, and the third—their own team—was support.
The leader of the third squad was silent for a moment before quietly saying, “Let the fourth squad handle it.”
Everyone else agreed.
The strength gap was too big; sending people up now would only be a death sentence.
The fourth squad was an independent unit with only one person.
She was also an experimental subject and was reportedly close to Zero when they were still in the organization.
But they had no other choice.
After gathering the bodies and cleaning up the scene, the support team prepared their report and was about to leave.
They didn’t consider if anyone else was nearby—after all, the Murder Ghost had come out last night; could there be any survivors?
Impossible.
Bai Xiaonuo had a sudden idea.
Instead of fishing blindly for a roommate, why not set the terms and let others come to her? So she posted on a rental app—
【Looking for a female roommate, multiple girls welcome. Requirements: good environment, spacious. I’m a beautiful girl with a big chest.】
The response was overwhelming in no time.
【Really? I don’t believe it unless you show me.】
【Show us your “bear bear.”】
【Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife!】
【Forget sharing; just come live at my place. My house is pretty big.】
【Damn it, can’t hold back anymore. I’m sending glue to the landlord!】
All the comments were wild.
“Ugh, are these people even reading properly?” Bai Xiaonuo put on a sulky beautiful girl face. “I said I’m looking for female roommates.”
Her Ancestor quietly reminded, “Even if you find someone, you don’t have money to rent.”
Wait—she suddenly realized something and panicked. “Xiaonuo, you’re not planning to become a companion, are you?”
“No way, I’m not a companion,” Bai Xiaonuo hurriedly denied. “I have standards.”
“Oh?” Ancestor was curious. “What standards?”
“At most, I’ll be a companion only for a female landlord. Not just anyone.”
“…That’s quite a flexible standard.”
Though she said that, Bai Xiaonuo considered herself a pure beauty and preferred not to be a companion if she could avoid it.
Besides, it kind of hurt.
Her plan to post failed, so Bai Xiaonuo kept fishing blindly.
She ordered a mocha with sugar and milk and kept searching.
Morning passed, noon passed, afternoon passed.
The weather in the city turned from sunny to cloudy.
The sun hid behind the clouds, evening approached, the latte art in her mocha was fading, and Bai Xiaonuo was still searching online.
Ancestor yawned several times and was about to suggest finding a female landlord to be a companion.
Otherwise, it would soon be dark.
After all, they were succubi; such behavior wasn’t against their ancestors—it was even a family tradition…
“Found it!” Bai Xiaonuo happily raised her tablet.
Ancestor jumped onto her petite shoulder. “Where? Let me see.”
It seemed pretty good—a beautiful Villa with a Garden, swimming pool, and gym.
Even better, it was close to Bai Xiaonuo’s school.
The owners were a pair of sisters, and the tenant requirements were female only, preferably pretty girls.
“Xiaonuo, the place looks nice, but it must be expensive,” Ancestor warned.
“No problem. Look, there’s a note here,” Bai Xiaonuo pointed to a line of small text. “If you’re an especially beautiful girl and willing to do some small favors for the landlord, rent can be waived.”
Landlord’s requirements? Small favors?
“Xiaonuo, I have a bad feeling about this place. What if the landlord is lying and it’s actually a man…”
“Doesn’t matter, we’ll find out soon enough,” Bai Xiaonuo said indifferently. “If it’s a trap, I’ll just send a mental shock and everything will be fine.”
Not everyone was as powerful as Big Sister, able to ignore their own abilities. If she was really that unlucky, Bai Xiaonuo would just give up.
It was getting late. Without hesitation, Bai Xiaonuo left the café and hailed a taxi.
Half an hour later, the cab stopped by the roadside.
“We’re here.”
The landlord’s photos were genuine.
Even standing outside, the luxurious beauty of the place was impressive.
Bai Xiaonuo entered the gate and followed the pebble path across the lawn.
At the door, she met a petite, adorable golden-haired girl.
The landlord info said two sisters, so this must be the younger one.
“Hello,” Bai Xiaonuo greeted proactively. “I’m here to rent. My username online is ‘Nono.’ I just messaged you.”
Ancestor, hanging from the jade pendant around her neck and resting on her shoulder, let out a small sigh of relief.
She was so afraid Bai Xiaonuo would come out and shout “trash” first thing.
The golden-haired girl appraised her up and down, lingering on her chest for a long moment before suddenly asking, “Do you have money to pay rent?”
“No,” Bai Xiaonuo answered straight.
The golden-haired girl got excited and immediately said, “No money means Ai Cao!”
Eh? That blunt?
“小 Jade, don’t be rude.”
A curvaceous golden-haired beauty appeared, smiling gently at Bai Xiaonuo.
“Sorry, my sister likes to talk nonsense. You’re here to rent, right?”
“Mm,” Bai Xiaonuo nodded, “But I don’t—”
“It’s okay, come in and sit a bit. We’re about to have dinner,” the beauty said cheerfully. “Another girl will be coming later; we can talk then.”
“…Alright.”
Bai Xiaonuo made herself at home, stretching out her long legs as she walked inside.
Once she was fully inside and the outside sounds disappeared, the golden-haired beauty’s smile faded.
She pressed a hand to her forehead and said to her sister, “Xiaoyu, how many times have I told you, before the plan succeeds, you must hide your fox tail.”
The golden-haired girl blinked innocently. “I hid it well. She didn’t see it.”
A fluffy tail flicked behind her.
The golden-haired beauty sighed and said, “I meant metaphorically… Never mind, just don’t talk during dinner.”
