“Anyway, once you’ve thought it through, you’ll agree, won’t you?”
Tang Nai spread her hands.
Seeing this, Su Mu had no words to offer in response.
Before long, Ye Wanqing arrived with a skip in her step, a playful but not annoying smile on her face.
“For now, let’s just wait.”
The situation had become quite thorny, hadn’t it?
“Little Mouse Mu, did you miss me so soon? Hoho, as I thought, you really can’t live without me.”
Hearing Ye Wanqing say this, the corners of Su Mu’s mouth twitched, and a mischievous smile appeared.
She leaned toward Ye Wanqing’s ear and whispered something quietly.
Ye Wanqing made a very exaggerated expression, looking like a gag character from an anime.
Her crimson eyes nearly popped out, startling Su Mu.
“Did you think I’d say that? Hmph, Little Mouse Mu, you’re too naive.”
Seeing Su Mu’s shock, Ye Wanqing laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth, patting Su Mu’s shoulder as the latter pouted, “What? Aren’t you scared? Or do you think that wouldn’t be such a bad thing?”
Seeing Su Mu’s confusion, Ye Wanqing grinned and said, “Hee, that’s because you already told me about it!”
Indeed, Ye Wanqing was no newcomer; she was already a veteran of the Witches’ Secret Realm, and Irina had been the one to train her.
At that time, Irina had used those exact words to scare her.
It had certainly terrified her then, but it was impossible for the same trick to work twice on the same person.
“When did I ever tell you…”
“Don’t worry about that. Anyway, let’s hurry up and head out. Don’t dally; the time is tight and the mission is urgent. I’ll lead you this time.”
And so, a dazed Su Mu was led onto a Dreamswimming Fish.
Following the large fish’s bobbing and swaying, they swam for a long time.
“Wait, when did I tell you?”
“Still haven’t figured it out? It was the future you, of course.”
Ye Wanqing smiled craftily, and Su Mu finally realized.
‘She threw it back to me?… No, did I throw Ye Wanqing to myself?’
Ye Wanqing falling for her certainly wasn’t without reason.
Besides spending a long time together, a large part was likely the influence from that period.
‘In other words, from Ye Wanqing’s perspective, I was the one who hit on her first!’
Su Mu held her head, feeling a bout of dizziness.
‘I have a really bad feeling about this.’
Seeing Ye Wanqing’s beaming face, Su Mu looked away.
‘Whatever, this is fine too.’
“So, what should we do? The current me doesn’t have a clue. This is all the Magic Power I have; don’t go wasting it all for me.”
Ye Wanqing laughed triumphantly, “Won’t happen. Put your heart at ease; I’m super strong!”
“I don’t see it,” Su Mu muttered.
However, in the next moment, Ye Wanqing radiated a Magic Power intensity that rivaled a B-rank, surprising Su Mu slightly.
“Do you see it now?” Ye Wanqing toyed with a crimson Fire Seed in her hand.
Her red hair danced wildly in the wind, giving her an unexpectedly heroic air.
She actually looked a bit… dashing?
‘It must be a hallucination from the air pressure.’ Su Mu shook her head.
“You… when did you secretly learn illusions? Don’t even think about deceiving me.”
Speaking of illusions, Ye Wanqing—who currently maintained a youthful form slightly less endowed than Su Mu—had a thought.
In the next instant, the girl’s stature shot up, her tall figure rapidly returning to the form Su Mu was most familiar with.
Her proud pair of snow-covered peaks became much fuller, leaving Su Mu stunned.
“What do you know? This is what you call an illusion. No, wait, this is what you call a fact.”
Regardless of whether it was an illusion, that pair of perky bunnies had indeed momentarily blinded Su Mu.
She had an almost unimaginable obsession and conviction regarding the fact that her body was large, even distorting the Dream World at will…
“Lewd,” Su Mu muttered after a long pause, her face turning red.
“Anyway, don’t worry. Just follow behind me later. If you see any good stuff, don’t touch it. Just cross the bridge obediently. Big Sister will cover you.”
Su Mu wore a suspicious expression.
“That doesn’t sound like anything good.”
“Even if it’s not good, you’re the one who taught me.”
“I strongly suspect you’re planning to pin some non-existent blame on me…” Su Mu said gloomily.
Ye Wanqing felt inexplicably guilty, ‘How did she know I was planning exactly that?’
Before long, while everyone else wore serious and heavy expressions, Ye Wanqing pulled Su Mu along, walking forward cheerfully like children on a spring outing.
An Exposure Witch nearby looked like she was about to move, but her companion stopped her.
“Don’t be a fool. Don’t think they’re easy prey just because they look like they’re playing around. You know how many people have played the pig to eat the tiger over the years. Besides, the Magic Power that Magical Girl emitted seems to have already exceeded the limit of a C-rank. We’ll wait until they show a weakness to strike.”
That said, as most people watched the two receding backs, their eyes still inadvertently betrayed a hint of heat.
It was rare to see individuals with such Pure Magic.
Usually, Magical Girls blended in and couldn’t be distinguished from others, but these two shimmered with the luster of Pure Magic, making others salivate.
“Could it be that they are one of ‘those people’? If it offends Tang Nai, things will be very troublesome.”
A Bald Freak questioned this, but a Mohawk Freak next to him immediately shot the question down.
“How is that possible? Tang Nai would love nothing more than to keep her Magical Girls tightly hidden. Why would she let them come to such a dangerous place? With the kind of combat strength they’ve developed in a Greenhouse, they probably can’t even handle the lingering thoughts of a Witch.”
“True. Those girls are fine for display, but if they actually have to fight, they’ll probably be crushed until not even dregs are left. But they’ll definitely taste good. If I run into them, I’m definitely going to sample them.”
At this moment, the people chatting casually hadn’t realized the severity of the problem.
They dispersed around the Dream World to look for the large fish.
***
Under Ye Wanqing’s guidance, Su Mu followed a familiar path and quietly crept onto a magnificent set of Ruins.
It was a broken bridge over 1,000 meters long and 30 meters wide, standing there in isolation, cutting through the final area of the Witch’s Dream.
Several Dreamswimming Fish pick-up points were distributed around it.
The view from the bridge was excellent, allowing one to see the surrounding scenery at a glance, including the Dreamswimming Fish flipping in the distance.
Su Mu looked around blankly.
After confirming the bridge was almost completely empty, she immediately puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and looked at Ye Wanqing.
“Why did you bring me to this godforsaken place?”
“Hee, I know you’re anxious, but don’t be. The good show is just beginning. Let the guys inside start fighting first. While we wait, let’s play a round of—”
As Ye Wanqing spoke, she reached out to grab Su Mu, but the latter skillfully dodged and gave her a sharp flick to the forehead.
“Play a round of what at a time like this! Can’t you be a little serious? This is the Witch’s Dream. Aren’t you afraid of being ambushed?”
Ye Wanqing rubbed the spot where she’d been hit and gave a wicked smile.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. The view here is great. It’s almost impossible for someone to sneak up on us. Besides, can’t you use your ability to monitor the outside?”
Su Mu was about to refuse, but Ye Wanqing suddenly pulled out a tent, a folding chair, a marker, and a deck of cards.
“Don’t be so quick to say no. Let’s just play one round. Back then, you put me through so much misery.”
Thinking back to how Irina had used a marker to draw on her face, Ye Wanqing gritted her Silver teeth, holding a grudge.
‘For everything that happened in the past, today I’ll make you, Little Mouse Mu, pay it all back!’
‘Isn’t it just a game of Old Maid?’
***
Let’s call her the Vibration Witch based on her image…
In any case, the two were on separate paths.
On the other side, the Exposure Witch and her companions had arrived at a rich Dream World compartment and began searching separately.
Elsewhere, the Vibration Witch secretly evaded her companions’ eyes and slipped into an independent compartment.
She plunged her top-tier, diamond-encrusted small drill into the wall of the compartment.
‘Time to dig!’
Magic Power Fish could also be hidden inside the walls of the Witch’s Secret Realm, and the Vibration Witch’s methods were perfect for targeting those guys who crawled into the crevices.
The horsepower of her small drill was incredibly strong.
As she drilled into the wall, the noise was ridiculously loud.
The Exposure Witch next door frowned slightly but had to pretend she didn’t hear it.
‘She must have studied civil engineering before becoming a Witch. She’s just used to it.’
It must be stated here: a small drill was just a small drill.
Not only could it gouge through walls, but it would also spray blood if plunged into an enemy’s body.
If anyone mistook it for something like a massage gun, they would probably regret it the next second.
Although its design was a bit unique for a weapon, its power was indeed not to be underestimated.
It only looked that way due to the Witch’s twisted sense of humor.
Clearly, a Witch’s initiative only strengthened in strange areas; at other times, they always seemed excessively unreliable.
However, because the commotion the Vibration Witch caused was too loud, even if the Exposure Witch didn’t care, it still drew another group of uninvited guests—
Men wearing silver-white uniformed combat suits appeared outside the compartment.
For the specific style of the combat suit, one could refer to the generic skin-tight suit Su Mu wore during her first appearance.
They weren’t in pairs, but in groups of three.
These were members of the Combat Division, each a pair of well-trained combat specialists.
Let’s just call them Combat Division soldiers for now.
As the leader of a squad that was the only one with a sound name while also looking very much like generic fodder, the man with a crew cut had a quite confident expression.
He waved his hand toward the subordinates behind him.
With a “ping” and a “pang”, the two of them rushed forward.
Using the Magic Power shotguns in their hands, they shattered the barrier of the compartment, putting a stop to the Vibration Witch’s evil construction.
“Witch, this is the end. Surrender and face justice!”
Seeing idiots deliver themselves to her doorstep, the Exposure Witch narrowed her eyes to gauge their strength.
Meanwhile, the Vibration Witch, now without the cover of the wall, became a bit anxious.
She quietly increased the horsepower of the small drill in her hand and drove it hard into the inner wall.
The vibration was so terrifying that it even made the ground tremble slightly, making it hard for the men to keep their footing.
As her brow suddenly cleared, this civil engineering lady—who was addicted to construction—finally completed her illegal demolition.
The wall collapsed with a crash.
Two intoxicating patches of red appeared on her cheeks, looking exceptionally charming and seductive, even if unintentionally.
Who gets that excited during a demolition?
A moment later, the Vibration Witch finally noticed the stunned men beside her.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, she couldn’t help but giggle.
“Oh my, I’m sorry. I got a little over-excited. Gentlemen of the Combat Division, I’ve startled you. To make amends, I have a rather good suggestion…”
Seeing the Vibration Witch about to start her bewitching speech, the Combat Division soldier waved his hands repeatedly and spoke righteously: “Witch, don’t think you can bewitch us… Brothers, let’s go! A second-class merit is right before our eyes!”
But looking at the motionless forms of Ping and Pang, as well as the heart shapes flickering in their eyes, it was clear that they had already begun to waver unconsciously.
Only the captain’s words could call back their logic.
“Do you two want to die? Do you remember the state you were in after being tortured last time?”
Hearing this, the two shuddered.
Only then did they raise their shotguns and aim them at the Witch, their eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear.
Last time, the two of them had been bewitched by a Witch, and then they had been turned into fragrant, soft girls by that terrifying Hormone Witch.
They were then tied up in the Yanyu Tower for a full three months before they were finally rescued.
Even now, thinking about it made their hearts race with lingering fear.
However, life in the Combat Division wasn’t great either.
They had to put on a smiling face behind the Queen just to get a sip of soup.
There was no helping it; combatants had devalued too severely.
In the past, a lab would have to thank the heavens to produce a single C-rank.
Now, with the mass-produced combat cores created by that woman named Tang Yin, C-ranks were everywhere!
Before undergoing the experiment to become combatants, they lived like beasts of burden.
After the experiment, they became beasts of burden anyway.
Wasn’t it essentially the same?
But Yanyu Tower really didn’t treat its employees like humans, either.
Witches loved nothing more than using various cunning methods to toy with people’s hearts.
If they hadn’t realized things were going south and contacted headquarters immediately, who knows if the two of them would still be inside.
“Witch, I’m sorry. Just take this. Once you’ve been beaten down, I’ll be a little gentler with you!”
In the end, it always came back to this.
After all, for these incredibly suppressed combatants, some form of nectar was always needed after a hard battle.
“I don’t want to!”
Seeing that soft tactics were useless, the Exposure Witch made a face.
Then, she pulled a long Great Hammer from the hem of her skirt and swung it fiercely at them.
The battle was imminent, the atmosphere turned tense, and Magic Power bullets began to fly everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Bald Freak and the Mohawk Freak, who were lying in the grass in the distance, were using binoculars to watch the scene.
“Boss, do you think we can sneak up on their rears?”
The Mohawk Freak asked with a wicked grin.
The Bald Freak simply gestured for him to be quiet.
“No rush. Let them fight for a bit first. We only strike the last team standing.”
