Ring, ring, ring~ Ring, ring, ring~
At Spiritual Martial University, with the arrival of 8:00 AM sharp, the bell for the first class of the day began to chime.
Just as the bell rang, a sudden change occurred at the door of Class Eighteen, the class known for having the lowest-ranked students.
The usually well-behaved student, Su Qi, who always sat quietly in the back row, ignored the bell.
She strode out with a pair of long, pale legs and began to run outside anxiously under the shocked gazes of everyone present.
Seeing Su Qi’s situation, An Xiaoling hurriedly tried to follow, but she was unexpectedly stopped by Teacher Yu Qi at the door.
The student and the teacher began a standoff.
“Teacher Yu Qi, I really have something to do. Please let me go.”
“Heh, come on, tell me what it is. I think you just didn’t write your self-reflection. Come on, follow me to the office and write it right now.”
As the “Sleep God” of Class Eighteen and a member of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, Wei Mian first witnessed Su Qi leaving in a hurry, and then saw that troublesome little girl, An Xiaoling, being caught and taken to the office.
Although he was somewhat puzzled by the strange behavior of his two teammates today and why An Xiaoling would clash with Teacher Yu Qi, he didn’t dwell on it too much considering the Wildcat Team had no missions today.
He soon slumped back onto his desk in a soft, happy heap.
‘Heh heh heh, An Xiaoling drew Teacher Yu Qi’s fire. It looks like I can have a good, undisturbed sleep in class today. Great!’
While a worried Su Qi was rushing toward Muyang Community with great strides and An Xiaoling was being held back by Teacher Yu Qi to write her self-reflection, a strange atmosphere had settled in Room 1601 of the community—Gu Wen Yin’s home.
Logically speaking, since both Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin liked Su Qi, their interaction as love rivals should have been awkward, abrupt, and in a way, they shouldn’t even have been alone together.
However, at this moment, inside Gu Wen Yin’s bedroom, the two beautiful girls were getting along surprisingly well.
“Sister Gu, have some water.”
Dressed in her Magical Girl Outfit, Mo Yu gently brought a cup of water from the dispenser and handed it to Gu Wen Yin, who was lying on the bed.
Looking at the weakened state of the heavily injured Gu Wen Yin, Mo Yu couldn’t help but fall into her memories.
Two days ago, because the Giant Dragon hatchlings were about to be born, various monsters in the Saint Ruins had begun to riot.
As an S-class Adventurer, Mo Yu followed the mission assigned by the Adventurers’ Guild and began to lie in wait with many other high-level Adventurers for the high-level monsters fleeing the Fourth Layer due to fear or defeat.
While hunting monsters, because there weren’t many people in Lin City who had obtained A-rank or higher adventurer qualifications, Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin soon crossed paths.
However, since they both liked Su Qi, the somewhat introverted Mo Yu didn’t take the initiative to talk to Gu Wen Yin even though she saw her.
It was simply a case of each hunting their own monsters.
Until yesterday, everything had gone as the Adventurers’ Guild expected, and they easily collected materials from many high-level monsters.
But this morning, things took a sudden turn.
Perhaps there were simply too many monsters in the Fourth Layer, and even the Golden Dragon at the top of the food chain couldn’t hold them all back.
Out of a protective instinct for its young, something none of the Adventurers expected happened.
The Golden Dragon, which should have been hatching the Dragon Egg deep in the Fourth Layer, actually fled toward the Third Plane with the Dragon Egg in tow.
Monsters—especially newborn ones—had combat power closely linked to the Spiritual Energy they absorbed within the Saint Ruins. For this reason, many monsters would instinctively head toward deeper planes, as more Spiritual Energy allowed the Spirit Beasts to grow stronger by instinct.
If a race inhabited deeper planes for a long time, that race would surely flourish.
The fact that the proud Dragon Clan had proactively given up on letting the little dragon be born in the Fourth Layer was unexpected.
Because it was so sudden, and because the Golden Dragon broke through the connection to the Fourth Layer while carrying the Golden Dragon Egg, it was pursued by a massive number of high-level monsters coveting the egg.
In an instant this morning, the high-level Adventurers who had been hunting monsters were scattered by the stampede.
The Magical Girl, Mo Yu, who relied on her Flight ability but was still about to be hit by the beast tide, found herself in a life-or-death situation when a high-level Eagle-horn Beast attacked.
What she never expected was that her love rival, Gu Wen Yin, would take the initiative to save her, bearing the brunt of the monster’s terrifying assault.
Although Mo Yu had heard Gu Wen Yin mention in the hospital last time that as a member of the Succubus race, she didn’t mind sharing her love for Su Qi and could even treat Mo Yu like a sister, Mo Yu had only dismissed it as a helpless comment at the time.
But after being saved by Gu Wen Yin, Mo Yu’s heart was in turmoil.
‘Normally, if a love rival like Gu Wen Yin saw me injured, it would be lucky if she didn’t kick me while I was down, yet she actually risked her life to save me.
Could Gu Wen Yin’s proposal have been for real?’
As Mo Yu sat there with her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling extremely conflicted about how to face this rival who was also her savior, the patient, Gu Wen Yin, took a sip of the water Mo Yu handed her and spoke calmly.
“Mo Yu, you don’t need to blame yourself. Saving you was my choice. Besides, unlike your Transformative Power, my Succubus transformation has a very fast recovery speed.”
Gu Wen Yin’s voice carried a trace of nearly imperceptible weakness, yet the gentle quality within it held a unique charm that made those who heard it feel relaxed and at ease.
However, out of concern for Gu Wen Yin’s safety, Mo Yu still couldn’t help but ask worriedly in the next second, “Sister Gu, does your injury really not need treatment? I can go look for Ye Fufu to heal you. Her healing level is quite high. Even if I call A Qi back, how can she heal you?”
Hearing Mo Yu’s concern and the mention of treatment, the corners of Gu Wen Yin’s slightly pale lips curled up almost imperceptibly. The conversation was finally on the right track.
In fact, after their last intimate activity with Su Qi—perhaps because it was her first time absorbing Mana Replenishment—Gu Wen Yin, whose Succubus bloodline concentration was already quite high, was surprised to find that her abilities had made a qualitative leap.
Because her abilities had improved, Gu Wen Yin had run into a bit of a problem while hunting monsters.
The monsters fleeing back were already exhausted or even spent.
Fighting these weakened monsters while other Adventurers were around made it too obvious if she tried to get injured on purpose.
But fortunately, with the escape of the Giant Dragon this morning, seeing Mo Yu about to be swallowed by the beast tide gave Gu Wen Yin an opportunity.
She knew that if she was injured, Su Qi would definitely come to visit and would surely provide Mana Replenishment for her health.
But there was a problem—when being intimate with Su Qi, both the scent and the touch were far too wonderful.
Although Gu Wen Yin knew the previous Yandere State incident was partly because she was worried Su Qi would be afraid of her and run away, causing her behavior to subconsciously become aggressive, she still had concerns.
‘If I’m alone with Su Qi, will I really be able to control my desires this time and not enter a Yandere State that hurts her?’
Mo Yu’s appearance completely dispelled Gu Wen Yin’s worries.
If Mo Yu joined this time, even if she “ate” her “Su Wife” and entered a Yandere State, Mo Yu would be there to remind her, allowing her to have no reservations at all.
However, both Su Qi and Mo Yu had very introverted personalities.
Jumping straight into a three-person play would definitely not work; it seemed some guidance was necessary.
Thinking this, after hearing Mo Yu express concern about her injuries, Gu Wen Yin slowly shook her head and explained her reasoning.
“That won’t work, Mo Yu. I’ve met your friend Ye Fufu before. She is a Saintess, and I am a Succubus; our attributes counter each other. Her Healing Technique is actually an attack skill to me.”
Hearing the explanation, Mo Yu, who was worried about her condition, instinctively asked, “Then how should your injury be treated?”
As soon as those words left her mouth, a flush of red appeared on Mo Yu’s fair face.
Treating a Succubus, and Gu Wen Yin had just asked for Su Qi.
This was practically an explicit hint.
‘Doesn’t that just mean… doing that?’
After figuring out the reason, Mo Yu’s thoughts became complicated.
On one hand, her rival Gu Wen Yin had risked her life to save her.
And now, her favorite A Qi had to sacrifice herself to treat her.
‘What am I supposed to do then? Stand guard outside the door? It feels wrong in every sense, and my heart feels so stifled.’
While Mo Yu was struggling with this epic dilemma, she felt a warm, smooth sensation from her hand.
At the same time, Gu Wen Yin’s gentle voice, like that of a Neighbor Big Sister, rang out in the room again.
“Sister Mo Yu, do you remember the thing about us being sisters that I mentioned last time? I wasn’t joking. Perhaps we can undergo the healing together. That way, you can also supervise me to make sure I don’t enter a Yandere State.”
“Together?”
Mo Yu first muttered the word in response to Gu Wen Yin’s suggestion.
But immediately following that, Mo Yu’s pale, pretty face turned bright red.
‘Healing together… doesn’t that mean eating A Qi together with Gu Wen Yin? This… this is way too shameful! Besides, how are three people supposed to…’
While the pure and introverted Mo Yu was experiencing information overload and her brain was working at full speed—
Thud!
The sound of a door opening suddenly echoed from outside the bedroom.
In the next moment, Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin saw a worried Su Qi pushing open the bedroom door while gasping for breath.
“A… A Qi, you’re here.”
Because of the suggestive images she had just been thinking about, Mo Yu instinctively panicked when she saw Su Qi enter, and she even began to stutter out of guilt.
Hearing Mo Yu’s call, Su Qi’s delicate eyebrows knit together slightly.
‘Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like A Yu and Sister Wen Yin were plotting something they couldn’t let me know about?’
But soon, as he saw Sister Wen Yin lying weakly on the bed with bloodstains on her body, Su Qi threw those thoughts to the back of his mind, replacing them with worry and self-reproach.
‘Sister Wen Yin is already injured, how could she be discussing strange things with my best friend? Su Qi, oh Su Qi, what are you thinking?’
