Zhou Qingqing thought this way, but she still had no idea what she could even trade.
Option three was vague about every requirement—it didn’t specify which witch the trade would be with, nor did it mention any conditions.
“She couldn’t possibly mean that if I give Bai Shuang a lollipop and she kisses me once, that counts as the trade, right…?”
Even though such a thought crossed her mind, when she looked down at the title “Witch’s Toy” attached to that option, Zhou Qingqing instinctively felt a twinge of unease.
No matter what she thought or intended, once she made the choice, the final outcome would always align perfectly—and literally—with whatever the option described.
Just like with “Frost’s Humiliation” earlier—she had initially assumed she would be the one humiliating the Ice Frost Witch, but who could have predicted that she herself would end up being the one humiliated?
And now she even had that quest panel hanging over her; one tap and she could see the entire “Frost’s Humiliation” quest array staring back at her.
“Maybe I should just…”
Zhou Qingqing glanced again at the side quest bar and then back at the star-marked option.
A bold idea suddenly surfaced in her mind. Rather than becoming a witch’s toy, why not put herself in the dominant position instead?
Bai Shuang still had that innocent, clueless look about her—and who could resist an adorable little loli?
Sure, there was a slight pang of guilt at the thought of staining a pure, untouched white canvas with her own darkness.
But with eighty-one percent favorability, no matter how excessive her actions became, everything would be forgiven.
Even if she pushed Bai Shuang down onto the bed, the other girl would probably just whimper and sob about it hurting… and then let her do whatever she wanted.
“If I push Bai Shuang down right now, I’ll have made the choice and completed ‘Frost’s Humiliation’ at the same time. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone…?”
As for why Bai Shuang would be the one getting pushed down—how could someone as strong as Zhou Qingqing possibly lose to a little loli?
The loli could just lie on the bed making cute whimpering noises; Zhou Qingqing herself would have far more to consider.
Besides, whether she took the active or passive role—when facing a loli, if she still had to hesitate over something like that, wouldn’t people laugh at her?
Once Zhou Qingqing made up her mind, she tapped directly on choice three.
With the selection confirmed, the option locked in place on number three.
Zhou Qingqing pushed open the door.
After asking the little nun at the entrance which room had been assigned to Bai Shuang, she slowly made her way over.
Her light steps carried a hint of excitement mixed with a trace of hesitation.
She was about to see an innocent flower on the verge of being dyed in her own colors.
Her heart thumped with anticipation—especially since this was the same aloof, emotionless Ice Frost Witch from the game.
Just imagining the adorable sounds the other girl would soon make made her quicken her pace.
“I’m basically trading away my most precious possession here. Offering myself as the trade item to a witch, sacrificing everything to protect a single city… I’m starting to feel downright selfless.”
“Hehe, little loli witches were born to be eaten by me~”
“That little chest from earlier—I’m going to knead it to my heart’s content this time~”
Zhou Qingqing arrived at the door.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of her, she patted her own cheeks to calm herself down and at least try not to let her intentions show too obviously.
After all, today’s “lesson” was supposed to be guiding an innocent, harmless little witch up the stairs to adulthood.
Though this would be her first time too, Zhou Qingqing had done plenty of research into yuri-themed material.
“Bai Shuang? Big sis came to… uh… came to check on you~”
Zhou Qingqing gently knocked on the door.
She had been expecting the other girl to excitedly fling it open, throw herself into her arms, and then—while Bai Shuang looked on in delighted confusion—Zhou Qingqing would princess-carry her to the bed.
From there it would be smooth sailing: clothes shed in a fluid motion, a fierce kiss pressed to those cherry-like lips, and finally teaching her all the things adults do.
The plan was perfect.
But after standing at the door and waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of it opening.
The fantasies in Zhou Qingqing’s mind had no choice but to pause.
She slowly opened her eyes—her black-gem-like pupils sweeping over the door handle.
Listening carefully, she heard nothing from the other side. It was as silent as if no one was inside.
“She’s… not here?!”
Zhou Qingqing rubbed her head, but then she remembered Bai Shuang’s identity.
As a half-witch, the other girl definitely wouldn’t wander around the church carelessly.
Even though Zhou Qingqing had vouched for her, a witch’s presence was inherently sensitive.
If Bai Shuang left, the nuns would surely report it to her immediately.
The moment that thought crossed her mind, Zhou Qingqing’s first reaction was that something had gone wrong.
“She didn’t… run away, did she…?”
After all, as a witch in her most vulnerable state and staying in a place full of enemies, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for her to consider escaping.
But the idea passed in a flash.
Zhou Qingqing didn’t believe Bai Shuang would do something like that.
That innocent, radiant smile didn’t belong to someone who only cared about herself.
“Bai Shuang would never do that. I must be overthinking it…”
Zhou Qingqing stared at the door handle, hesitation flickering in her eyes.
Standing here like an idiot wasn’t going to accomplish anything.
After internally struggling for a while, she gently turned the lock.
“I’ll just take a quick peek…”
After turning the knob, Zhou Qingqing peeked inside with a crooked tilt of her head.
The moment she looked—one glance was enough. Her face instantly darkened. She slammed the door shut.
“Could it be the pressure from just transmigrating here? Am I hallucinating…?”
Zhou Qingqing rubbed her aching head, somewhat unsure of what she had just seen.
So she pushed the door open again for another look—only to hurriedly slam it shut once more.
If the first glance could be dismissed as an illusion, the second one confirmed it was real.
Though reluctant to admit it, after making sure no one was around, Zhou Qingqing abruptly shoved the door wide open and darted inside.
She moved so fast it was as though she was afraid someone might see her.
Once inside, she immediately locked the door behind her, then pushed a nearby sofa up against it to barricade the entrance.
“Why is this happening right now of all times?!”
Only after securing everything did she slowly turn her gaze toward the bed.
She had originally come here to build a nice, affectionate connection with the little loli and let her experience the wonders of the body.
She had never expected to encounter something like this.
A massive block of mysterious ice stood upright on the bed.
The ice-blue mass had even enveloped the entire bedframe.
The room’s moderate temperature had plummeted to an unnatural chill.
White frost mist filled the entire space—it felt as though winter had arrived indoors.
Zhou Qingqing felt the cold prickle against her skin.
Though it was chilly, it was still within tolerable limits.
After all, a ninth-order body was sturdier than an ordinary person’s.
At that moment, the enormous ice block—which now occupied nearly half the room—continued to slowly spread, though the pace was faint.
It had already frozen the nearby window solid.
There was no need to guess who had caused this—the Ice Frost Witch, Bai Shuang, was clearly responsible.
No one else had the ability to do something like this.
Zhou Qingqing walked through the freezing mist and approached the mysterious ice.
She lightly placed a finger against the surface.
Surprisingly, even though it appeared to be freezing cold, there was no piercing chill at all. It felt merely cool—like touching a piece of cold metal.
The sensation was odd, but Zhou Qingqing didn’t dwell on it.
Deep within the mysterious ice, she could even make out a blurry, petite figure. Even through the haze, she could tell who it was.
“Bai Shuang is inside? What’s going on?”
[Witch Transformation in progress]
Progress [fifty-two percent] [fifty-three percent]……
“Why did she suddenly start undergoing witch transformation? And it’s increasing bit by bit?!”
Zhou Qingqing stared at the information displayed on the panel and immediately panicked.
All thoughts of exploring Bai Shuang’s body structure vanished in an instant.
She had been preparing to face the invasion from the Land of Desire, and now Bai Shuang was undergoing witch transformation on top of everything else.
Her original motive for trading with Bai Shuang had collapsed completely.
And in the game, when the Ice Frost Witch underwent full witch transformation, there had been text descriptions:
Within a thousand miles, everything would plunge into an icy abyss.
The land would turn into a silent snowfield.
The heavens and earth would become a complete forbidden zone for all life.
“The commotion from a witch transformation definitely won’t be small… How am I supposed to explain this to the Holy See?!”
