Chapter 98: How could it be me!

How, how is it?

If I explain it like this, will Ximon believe me?

Keti was sweating a little as she looked at the young master, mainly because she still couldn’t quite figure it out… Ximon—

Was he seeing everything clearly and knowing it was really her…

Or was he just catching a glimpse of a silhouette that looked somewhat like her, and just trying to mess with himself here?

Hiss…

If it was the latter, Keti felt she might be able to bluff her way through, but… but…

What if it was the former!

Click…

“Keti-sensei, you wouldn’t want the students to find out that you secretly wear those sexy JK outfits and get trained by Lynn-sensei, right?”

Ugh!!!

The scene was already playing out in her mind! Th-this… this is terrifying!

The silver-haired beauty quickly shook her head, “Ah… although there’s no way I’d be blackmailed into doing anything weird because of this, but still… if it really got out, I’d definitely be doomed!”

“Ugh… How could I teach then!”

“Is, is that so? Haha, I thought the woman next to Lynn-sensei was the one with long silver-gray hair, like Keti-sensei’s hairstyle, so I thought it was you, haha…”

After hearing the girl’s pale explanation, Ximon forced a couple of awkward laughs, wearing a calm expression on the surface, but deep down… yeah, he wasn’t happy at all!

That explanation was way too shaky. Even if Ximon wasn’t sure before whether that woman was Keti, now… it was practically nailed down!

The young master sized Keti up again from head to toe—oversized long-sleeve shirt, plain trousers, covered tightly so not a sliver of fair skin showed.

She dressed so conservatively in front of him and the other students, hmm…

Yet, in front of Lynn-sensei…

She was that bold?

Ximon couldn’t help but recall that enticing silver-haired girl’s figure from that night, and immediately bit his lip in frustration!

Ah… what is this? Why does he have this petty, almost sulky look?

Since Ximon got taken down by her earlier, he’s been acting like a little girl.

Maybe I should have given him that magic potion back then!

And that same look—I think I saw it on Layla and Sylvia earlier today too…

Could it be… you’re all my former teammates?

The silver-haired beauty suddenly felt sweat dripping down her back—this invisible pressure was intense, but she still couldn’t figure out how she offended these three.

Alright, maybe the little guy in front of her had really offended her, which was what Keti feared most.

Although Lynn had helped her clean things up before, if that brat Ximon now caught her with this kind of leverage, he, he…

He wouldn’t use it to get back at her, would he?

Click…

Was her earlier explanation too weak?

The kid clearly didn’t believe her.

No, no… this won’t do, I have to try harder!

I have to gamble that he’s not so sure about my identity, after all, he didn’t catch me red-handed.

I might as well go all in!

“Hahaha… h-how could that be!”

***

After a moment, the silver-haired beauty frantically waved her hand, then gave two awkward laughs and continued,

“Um… don’t tell Lynn-sensei, okay? Although he’s my boss, I’ve actually heard for a long time that his lifestyle is a bit… problematic! So I’ve always been on guard…”

“You just said it yourself! The girl hanging around him dresses all flashy! And in sexy JK outfits too! Obviously not some decent girl! How could I possibly be that kind of person~!”

“Probably… Lynn just picked her up from the Red Light District! Ximon, you really shouldn’t learn from him! You’re so young; you must stay pure and can’t be like that pervert!”

Ahem, ahem, ahem…

Now Keti hadn’t just gambled away her own reputation, but Lynn’s as well, dragging them both down as a scandalous couple…

There was no helping it; sometimes you just had to say harsh things! If she downplayed it lightly and tried to cover it up, she’d still be suspected!

Only by making it sound embarrassing enough would Ximon believe she’s not some improper person and drop his suspicion!

Hmm… so

Having gone this far, surely this is enough now. She should be able to clear her name!

After a moment, Keti looked up expectantly, only to see the young master’s face turn pale on the spot, as if he were about to burst into tears.

Keti-sensei actually said that she is… is… a p-prostitute?!

Click.

In an instant, a shattering sound echoed in Ximon’s heart.

The young master clearly didn’t feel any sympathy for Keti’s frantic attempts to explain herself; instead, he was strangely excited by her self-degradation to this degree.

Whew… why, why would Keti-sensei say such a thing about herself? She’s always acted so serious in front of me, but… behind the scenes she’s doing things like that, not to mention… labeling herself that way!

Hiss… ha, could this be the legendary contrast?

Could it be that Keti-sensei is the type of girl who likes chasing thrills?!

Gulp.

Thinking about this, Ximon suddenly felt parched and swallowed hard.

D-damn it! I used to look down on her so much, but now… knowing that this supposedly pure silver-haired temptress is really a bad woman! Even… even getting cozy with other men.

But… why am I getting more excited?!

Hmm… I want to be bullied by Keti-sensei so badly that I don’t even care about her relationship with Lynn-sensei anymore, and instead get more excited imagining those scenes.

The blonde young master’s gaze involuntarily dropped to Keti’s slightly scuffed little leather shoes, and his breathing grew rapid.

Why… hmm, I like it so much!!! Keti-sensei, Keti-sensei.

Ximon had vaguely heard before about some slightly older playboys who were utterly bewitched by the women in those pleasure quarters, even losing their appetite and staying there every day singing and partying.

Ximon had always looked down on those guys, arrogantly calling them fools—after all, for those women without money, any so-called feelings would instantly vanish!

He wanted to find the most obedient wife for himself, never becoming a henpecked husband like his father, losing all dignity!

But now… gulp…

He would rather take out all his money just to be humiliated by the lowly bad woman in front of him.

Could it be…

I… I also like being a bad woman’s dog?

Click…

After much deliberation, after a moment, the blonde young master finally gave up, closed his eyes, and shouted directly at Keti, “Keti-sensei, ac-actually, I’ve already seen clearly— the girl next to Lynn-sensei… is… is you!”
