Although Zhou Qingqing was thinking this way, she still had no idea what she could actually trade.
Option three was vague about everything—it didn’t specify which witch the trade would be with, nor did it mention any conditions.
“She wouldn’t really accept a lollipop from me and then give me a kiss as the ‘trade,’ right…?”
Even though such a thought crossed her mind, the moment she saw the title “Witch’s Toy” below, Zhou Qingqing instinctively felt a trace of unease.
No matter what she intended, once she made a choice, the final outcome would always perfectly match exactly what the option described.
Just like with “Frost’s Humiliation” earlier—she initially thought she would be the one humiliating the Ice Frost Witch, but who could have guessed that she herself would end up being the one humiliated?
And right now she still had that task panel hanging over her; with just a tap she could open it and see the “Frost’s Humiliation” quest array staring back at her.
“Maybe I should just…”
Zhou Qingqing glanced again at the task bar and the options, and a bold idea suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Rather than becoming the witch’s toy, why not put herself in the dominant position instead?
Right now Bai Shuang still had that innocent, clueless look about her—and who doesn’t like an adorable little loli?
Sure, there was a slight pang of guilt at the thought of staining such a pure, blank sheet of paper with her own darkness.
But with an 81% favorability rating, no matter how outrageous her actions were, Bai Shuang would forgive her.
Even if she pushed Bai Shuang down onto the bed, the other girl would probably just whimper and sob that it hurt… and then let Zhou Qingqing do whatever she wanted.
“If I push Bai Shuang down right now, I’d not only complete the choice, I’d also finish ‘Frost’s Humiliation’ in one go. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone…?”
As for why Bai Shuang would be the one being pushed down—how could someone as powerful as Zhou Qingqing possibly lose to a little loli?
The loli could just lie on the bed making cute little “ying ying ying” noises; Zhou Qingqing, on the other hand, had a lot more to consider.
Besides, if she still had to hesitate over whether to take the active or passive role when facing a loli, wouldn’t that just make her a laughingstock?
Once Zhou Qingqing made up her mind, she immediately tapped on choice three.
With the selection confirmed, the option locked onto number three.
Zhou Qingqing pushed open the door, asked the little nun stationed outside which room had been assigned to Bai Shuang, and then slowly made her way over.
Her light steps carried a hint of excitement mixed with a touch of hesitation.
She could already picture an innocent flower about to be dyed in her own colors.
Her heart thumped with anticipation—especially because this was the normally aloof and emotionally distant Ice Frost Witch from the game.
The thought of hearing that adorable voice soon made her steps quicken.
‘I’m also trading away my most precious possession here. Offering myself as the trade item to a witch, sacrificing myself to protect an entire city—I’m starting to feel downright selfless.’
“Hehe, little loli witches were born to be eaten by me~”
“That soft little chest from earlier—I’m going to knead it to my heart’s content this time~”
When Zhou Qingqing arrived at the door, she looked at the tightly closed wooden panel, patted her own cheeks with both hands to calm herself, and reminded herself to at least act gentle and not let her intentions show too obviously.
After all, today’s “lesson” was about guiding an innocent and harmless little witch up the stairs to adulthood.
Although this would be Zhou Qingqing’s first time too, she had done plenty of research into yuri-themed material.
“Bai Shuang? Big sister came to… uh… came to check on you~”
Zhou Qingqing gently knocked on the door.
She had been expecting the girl to happily fling it open, throw herself into her arms, and then be princess-carried to the bed.
Under Bai Shuang’s surprised and puzzled gaze, she would smoothly strip off their clothes and passionately kiss those cherry-like little lips.
And finally, in the most natural way, she would teach the other girl what grown-ups do.
The plan was perfect.
But after standing at the door for a long time, there was still no sign of it opening.
Zhou Qingqing had no choice but to pause her fantasies.
She slowly opened her eyes—those black-gem-like pupils sweeping across the doorknob—listening for any sound from inside.
The room was so quiet it was as if no one was there at all.
“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 run around carelessly inside the church.
Even though Zhou Qingqing had vouched for her, a witch’s identity was inherently sensitive.
If Bai Shuang left, the nuns would surely report it to her immediately.
The moment that thought occurred to her, Zhou Qingqing’s first instinct was that something had gone wrong.
“She didn’t… run away, did she…?”
After all, as a witch in her most vulnerable state, living in a place full of enemies, it wouldn’t be strange for her to think about 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 look like it belonged to someone who only cared about herself.
“There’s no way Bai Shuang would do that. I must be overthinking…”
Zhou Qingqing stared at the doorknob, hesitation flickering in her eyes.
Standing here like an idiot wasn’t going to help.
After internally struggling for a while, she gently turned the lock.
“I’ll just take a quick peek…”
After turning the knob, Zhou Qingqing tilted her head and peeked inside.
The moment she saw what was there, her face instantly darkened and she slammed the door shut.
“Was the pressure from just transmigrating too much? Am I hallucinating now…?”
Zhou Qingqing rubbed her aching head, somewhat unsure of what she had just seen.
She pushed the door open again for a second look—then hurriedly slammed it shut once more.
The first glance could be dismissed as an illusion, but the second confirmed it was real.
Though reluctant to admit it, Zhou Qingqing made sure no one was around, then shoved the door wide open and darted inside.
She moved so fast it was as if she was afraid someone might see her.
Once inside, she immediately locked the door behind her, then dragged a nearby sofa over and wedged it against the door.
“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 to build a closer emotional connection with the little loli and let her experience the wonders of the body—she never expected to encounter 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 dropped to an unnatural degree.
White frost mist filled the entire space, as though winter had arrived in an instant.
Zhou Qingqing felt the cold clinging to her body.
While 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—now occupying nearly half the room—was still slowly spreading, though at a very faint pace.
It had already frozen the nearby windows shut.
There was no need to guess who caused this—the Ice Frost Witch Bai Shuang was clearly responsible.
No one else had that kind of power.
Zhou Qingqing walked through the freezing mist and arrived in front of the Mysterious Ice, gently placing a finger against its surface.
Surprisingly, although the Mysterious Ice appeared to be freezing cold, it didn’t feel painfully icy at all—just cool like touching a piece of iron.
The sensation was strange, but Zhou Qingqing didn’t dwell on it.
Deep inside the ice, she could faintly make out a small, blurry figure.
Even blurred, she could tell who it was.
“Bai Shuang is inside? What’s going on?”
[Witch Transformation in progress]
Progress [52%] [53%] ……
“Why did she suddenly start undergoing witch transformation? And it’s increasing bit by bit?!”
Zhou Qingqing stared at the information on the panel and instantly panicked.
All thoughts of exploring Bai Shuang’s body vanished.
She had originally been preparing to face the invasion from the Land of Desire, and now Bai Shuang was undergoing witch transformation on top of everything.
Her plan to trade with Bai Shuang had just collapsed.
And in the game, when the Ice Frost Witch underwent full witch transformation, there was always a vivid description:
Within a thousand miles, the world would plunge into an ice cave.
Everything would turn into a silent snowfield.
The land would become a complete life-forbidden zone.
“The commotion caused by a witch transformation definitely won’t be small… How am I supposed to explain this to the Holy See?!”
