“Heh, looks like Tang Nai has influenced you a lot.”
The words Ye Wanqing just uttered clearly sounded more like something that would come out of Tang Nai’s mouth.
As one of the people most familiar with Tang Nai, Tang Yin instantly picked up on that style.
Not to mention, she herself was one of those most deeply affected.
“Let’s go with what you said then, but that doesn’t sound very fun. If we want to really enjoy ourselves, how about I come over in person?”
Tang Yin’s lips curled into a slight smile.
At that moment, Su Mu couldn’t tell her apart from Tang Nai, and her mind was left a little muddled.
“Oh, right, that pink-haired lady over there, I just noticed you. If I’m not mistaken, you must be the variable who messed up Tang Mo’s plans, right?”
Suddenly being called out left Su Mu a bit dazed, and when she finally realized what was happening, she was even more confused.
‘Who’s Tang Mo? How many Tang-named women did that sinful woman—who brought Tang Nai into the world—actually give birth to? That woman truly is a calamity!’
“Hmm, let me tell you something interesting… Do I look more like a Witch or a freak to you?”
“Witch.” Without even thinking, Su Mu answered directly.
Her instincts told her that Tang Nai and this group of sisters were definitely birds of a feather.
“Wrong~ I’m actually a freak. Sounds unbelievable, right? The freak you all have worked so hard to hunt down has long since been living out in the open.”
“I already knew that.” To her surprise, Su Mu didn’t look shocked at all.
“Your sister told me.”
Hearing that, Tang Yin was taken aback for a moment, then lightly stroked her chin.
“I see. So, out of worry that you’d be exposed sooner or later, you simply came out and said it yourself? If it were me, I’d do the same.”
“Why do you make it sound like making the same choice as Tang Nai is something to be proud of?”
“Of course. No matter what, she’s strong, isn’t she?” Tang Yin replied casually, and it was only at this moment that her tone clearly differed from Tang Nai’s.
“Could you stop ignoring me?”
At that moment, Ye Wanqing—who had been silent on the side—suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of both.
“Hey, I get it, you just feel too passive right now and want to buy some time like this, right? If I forced you to dress up as a maid, you’d probably go crazy and just choose to disappear.”
“No, actually, if you insisted, I’d probably just go along with it without much thought. But in that case, you wouldn’t get the reaction you’re hoping for, would you?”
That was true.
If she didn’t act over the top as expected, but instead stayed completely calm, Ye Wanqing’s intent to humiliate her would never be fulfilled.
“Tang Yin-jie is as unshakable as ever. I just wanted to see your reaction. Since I know you haven’t changed… then you should hurry up and get out of my Dream World.”
Ye Wanqing’s tone suddenly grew sharp as she gave the order for Tang Yin to leave.
Tang Yin’s expression turned grave, and countless tiny cracks appeared all over her substitute body before it completely shattered and dissipated.
She had pulled away Tang Yin’s anchor in her own Dream World.
No matter how strong Tang Yin was, she couldn’t keep staying, unless she reached the level where Tang Nai could freely traverse others’ dreams.
“Hehe, Little Mouse Mu, did you have fun playing with me today?”
Hearing this, Su Mu blinked.
“You’re not just acting, are you?”
“Until you lifted the negative status from me, it was all real.”
Ye Wanqing gave a bright smile, her crimson eyes so dazzling that Su Mu was caught off guard for a moment.
But she quickly puffed out her cheeks, “You little—”
“Hey, you tricked me first, didn’t you? You pretended to be Irina and toyed with my feelings.”
“Huh?”
Su Mu raised an eyebrow, ‘How could she possibly do something like that? This was all Irina’s fault.’
“That’s my bad, Little Su Mu, you’re so heartless. I was thinking of you the whole time, you know.” Irina complained in a pitiful tone inside her mind, leaving Su Mu speechless.
But more than that, she was curious why Ye Wanqing had mistaken Irina for her.
After all, Irina was a B-rank Witch, far above her own level.
“Huh? Surprised? You think I’m wrong? As if! I saw it myself. Didn’t Lando keep calling you Su Mu?”
Now it was Irina’s turn to feel guilty, while Su Mu remained indifferent—she knew nothing about what had happened in the Three-layer Dream.
‘If she didn’t call me Su Mu, what else would she call me…’
“Stop, stop, don’t say any more, Little Su Mu, we’ve got a big problem!” Irina hurriedly cut off Su Mu before she could continue.
But she just couldn’t figure out how Ye Wanqing could’ve known all that.
She should have been dead asleep at the time.
Unless someone set it up on purpose…
‘Wait, I think I know who did it. Tang Nai, I’ll get you for this!’
“Don’t be stubborn. Now’s not the time… Wait, I have an idea. Little Mouse Mu, this is my Dream World, after all. What I said to Tang Yin earlier wasn’t just talk, you know.” As she spoke, Ye Wanqing moved her slender finger.
The next moment, Su Mu felt a chill below her and instinctively pressed down her skirt.
‘Huh? Was I wearing a skirt?’
Looking down, her outfit had turned into a lacy maid costume, even bolder and more flamboyant than the one she wore during the day.
Almost as soon as she realized it, Su Mu wrapped her arms tightly around herself, covering her chest, her face filled with panic.
“What, it’s fine for Lando to see, but not me?”
Ye Wanqing pouted and reached for Su Mu’s arms that protected her chest.
But soon, she noticed Su Mu’s amusing expression, her actions slowing down, even taking on a teasing air.
“How is that the same?”
“How isn’t it? It’s not like I don’t have one myself. In fact, I’m bigger than you, see, see.”
Ye Wanqing puffed out her chest and wore that familiar proud look again.
Her figure had certainly developed beautifully, so she had every right to be proud.
The Big Yellow Duck rose and fell with Ye Wanqing’s breathing, glaring mockingly at Su Mu’s little thunder.
— You’re too lame.
“Besides, when you were getting close to Lando, weren’t you the one shamelessly running around the Dream World and flirting with me? Why are you pretending otherwise now?”
Su Mu was on the verge of tears.
Not only did she lose miserably in the Ball Battle, she also had no idea how to refute anything Ye Wanqing said.
‘Irina, look at what you’ve done!’
Irina was playing dead.
“Come to think of it, did you have fun bullying me today? Was my face fun to pinch? Hehe, and then I caught you secretly doing naughty things in your room…”
“Stop it!”
“Then call me Master, just like you did today at the Coffee Shop. Come on, or I’ll spill all your secrets.”
Ye Wanqing grabbed Su Mu’s wrist, flashing a wicked smile.
Pressed like this, Su Mu felt dizzy.
What kind of development is this!?
