Chapter 74: A God Descends!

Bai Xia and Su Qingyu wanted to say something, but Bai Xiaoya didn’t give them the chance.

Once she started talking, that small cherry mouth transformed into a focused machine gun, getting more and more fired up with every word.

She even added gestures, raising her hands and making her fingers like little pincers.

If someone didn’t know better, they’d think she was cosplaying Xintiao Qian (Baltan Alien).

“You’re bad at it? Practice more.”

“Can’t stand losing? Practice more.”

“Schemes and tricks are useless.”

“If you don’t believe me, try it yourselves.”

“Why aren’t you moving? Is it because you don’t want to, or you don’t dare?”

“Seriously? You plotted for so long, but now that it’s time, you don’t even have the courage to make a move?”

“Your future really worries me.”

Bai Xiaoya got carried away, and even after hearing the ding-dong sound, she added a couple more lines before finally stopping, unsatisfied.

It’s inertia.

That’s all.

Don’t blame Xiaoya.

[Ding-dong. Congratulations, Host, for completing the Limited Task: Expose the heroines’ conspiracy and mock them ruthlessly. Completion status: They were so angry they were fuming! Truly satisfying! Reward: One draw from the Advanced Reward Pool. Please settle when you’re alone.]

Good, good, good.

The reward is in hand.

Whether it can turn the tide depends on this single draw.

But before that, let’s find a way to escape and end this party.

How about just saying she’s tired?

Good idea.

After all, after partying for ten minutes, even General Big White Rabbit would be exhausted.

As Bai Xiaoya thought this, she looked up and found the two girls staring straight at her, their eyes not particularly friendly.

“Gulp. Actually, I was joking,”

Xiaoya said softly.

“You wouldn’t actually believe it, right?”

Just trying to lighten the mood a bit, okay?

At that moment, Bai Xia sighed.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. Whether it was a joke or not, it’s not important.”

What matters is that the Task has appeared.

[You suffered ruthless ridicule from the Villainess for a full five minutes!

Even a turtle would stick its head out to bite her!

Task requirement: Ridicule her back with all your might!]

Bai Xia wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she always felt like the Task requirements never changed—a single word wasn’t different.

But as she said, it didn’t matter.

What mattered was that the Task had appeared, and the requirements were the same as before.

There wasn’t any mention of both people having to act together.

Bai Xia quietly let out a sigh of relief.

She’d been worrying about what to do if the Task was mandatory for both of them, but now it was fine—she could talk to Su Qingyu about it.

After all, it was embarrassing to do it in front of another person…

And then she saw Su Qingyu go “Gawu,” pounce, and bite down!

Su Qingyu.

Again.

What a fast first move!

Bai Xia completely failed to understand the speed of the Wind Girl.

In the time she was still in shock, Bai Xiaoya was already rolling her eyes under Su Qingyu’s stormy assault.

“Sky… mm… Sky City, please,”

Su Qingyu lifted her head like an orca surfacing for air, exhaled, and snorted.

“Sky City, huh? With what you just said, it should be Heaven and Hell!”

Bai Xia was already too stunned to speak.

Heaven and Hell?

Isn’t that the one that goes “Dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun”?

But why—wait, could it be…?

Looking at the gently rising and falling golden head and the “Aba Aba” big-chested girl, Bai Xia suddenly understood something.

But then, she realized she didn’t understand a lot of things.

Like, why was she just standing here watching?

Studying a strong team demo?

Everyone had a Task, so why was she just an observer?

Su Qingyu happened to look up for a breath and met Bai Xia’s gaze.

Her eyes seemed to say—hey, I’m not stopping you.

Bai Xia gritted her teeth.

She could hear the sound of her heartbeat transmitted through her jawbone, clear as day.

Her own heartbeat was almost turning into Heaven and Hell.

Half a minute later, the girl reached out toward General Big White Rabbit, displaying her exquisite, world-class technique.

On this day, a concert and a magic show took place at the same time.

“No, no, no, stop. I get it, I was wrong… ah!”

Bai Xiaoya underestimated the price of being a focused machine gun.

The satisfaction of unloading earlier was matched by the double payback now.

After her delicate body tensed and her mind went blank once more, Su Qingyu suddenly hugged her.

No Canon, no Heaven and Hell, no Croatian Rhapsody.

Su Qingyu simply hugged Bai Xiaoya and whispered softly.

“Aya, do you know, in this life, I never imagined a girl would burst into my life under the sunlight like that.”

Her voice, like her name, was very light, like a lark’s song in a low whisper.

In Bai Xiaoya’s half-dazed state, it was like a dream carried into her ear by the wind.

But Bai Xia heard it clearly. She even forgot to perform her magic tricks, staring at her blankly.

No way—you, what are you doing?

“Maybe I—no, I definitely will never forget that day. The day our fates intertwined. Even though there was anger and fighting at the time, every time I think back, what wells up is sweetness.”

Bai Xia’s face didn’t look so good anymore. Her beautiful features were tight with tension.

There was even a confession scene? Why didn’t teammates give any warning?

No, confessions are fine, but can we talk about it with the girls first?

If you suddenly pull something like this, what is she supposed to do?

She wanted to say something nice too, but didn’t have time to prepare—her on-the-spot speaking skills weren’t that good.

“I don’t know if you’ll ever remember that day again, but I hope my silent song can accompany your every surge of memory, forever.”

With that, Su Qingyu lowered her head again, full of emotion.

Bai Xia’s face had turned dark.

She was never good with words, and especially after Su Qingyu said all this, if she opened her mouth rashly now, wouldn’t it just make the comparison worse?

Forget it. Everything can be conveyed through touch and warmth in her hands!

***

Late at night, time couldn’t be seen.

The Bai Family Courtyard had quieted, and Baiyuan City was silent.

Countless dreams wove together to create a night sky dotted with stars.

Bai Xiaoya had fallen asleep—though maybe she’d fainted.

Anyway, the clouds had parted and the rain had ceased. Her lovely body rested peacefully.

The other two girls, still not sleepy, went to talk by the bathroom in the next room.

“Why did you suddenly say all that earlier,”

Bai Xia began, interrogating her.

“We didn’t plan for this.”

“Sorry, sorry,”

Su Qingyu put her hands together and stuck out her tongue.

“I couldn’t help it at the time.”

The mood was there, the feelings were there, and when emotions build up, you can’t control them.

Bai Xia still had a stiff face.

“This kind of thing—you should let me know in advance. Acting on your own makes things difficult for me.”

She’d been standing there like an idiot, unable to speak or stay silent.

If this happened again, she’d have to break up the team.

“Alright, alright, but everything’s fine now,”

Su Qingyu blinked.

“What ability did you draw?”

Bai Xia tugged at the corner of her mouth, a trace of depth flashing in her eyes.
