Chapter 75: Total Silence Across the Field

Bai Xiaoya didn’t know how she made it through last night.

She only remembered the rain, the fierce wind, melodies of Heaven and Hell, Croatian Rhapsody, Dance of Flowers, and all kinds of World Masterpieces playing on her body.

At the same time, a pair of hands skilled in magic attacked the General Big White Rabbit, who was defending the city poorly, pushing the bullying to the extreme.

Later, it seemed there was a Loli whispering at her ear, saying words filled with emotion yet wild with innuendo, before she completely blacked out.

“Hu~”

At 9:30 in the morning, Bai Xiaoya exhaled softly.

Yes, the state had been reset, fatigue was gone, but how to put it, the intensely high experience was so deep it stayed in both body and memory.

Now, resetting fatigue was like being anesthetized during surgery.

You didn’t feel the pain during the operation, but afterward, you woke up with an indescribable emptiness.

Simply put, it was General Anesthesia.

Bai Xiaoya moved a little and found herself sandwiched between two girls, each holding onto one of her arms.

Su Qingyu’s small hand was restless, still sneaking a touch of the white bun.

Bai Xiaoya silently pushed her little hand away, looked at the two girls still sleeping soundly, and couldn’t help but feel happy.

What’s the point of being aggressive if I was the first to wake up in the end?

Don’t you understand Snack Addict?

She whispered ‘Mob’ a couple of times in a low voice, both for fairness and also afraid of waking them, and then, satisfied, lay back down to check her gains.

High-Level Zone, draw for me!

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the Limited Task. Settlement in progress. Drawing High-Level Zone Reward—Total Domain Silence. Range: Undifferentiated area with a radius of one kilometer. If the Host is affected, the range ignores distance. Duration: Five minutes.]

Bai Xiaoya blinked, not quite understanding the description of the range.

“Can you be more specific?”

She spoke softly to the air.

[When the Skill is activated, all Mysterious Items within a one-kilometer radius become ineffective. If the Mysterious Item targets the Host and exceeds one kilometer, no matter how far, it also becomes ineffective.]

Got it.

Anything attacking me from beyond one kilometer is finished.

Within a kilometer, everything is doomed regardless of the target.

“But it’s only five minutes.”

The time was too short, just a bit longer than Su Qingyu’s.

The system ignored her.

Bai Xiaoya quickly realized and shifted her gaze in embarrassment, as if that could make the words disappear.

Indeed, five minutes might be short in some ‘special’ situations, but in battle, even a millisecond can be fatal.

[Please set the Activation Command for the Skill. Gesture or Verbal Password are both acceptable.]

Bai Xiaoya originally wanted to choose a gesture, but then thought, what if her hands were inconvenient or tied up? That would be game over.

Though the mouth could be silenced too, as the saying goes, people might tie your hands without blocking your mouth, but they’d never block your mouth without tying your hands.

Because free hands could remove anything blocking your mouth.

“Then, this will do.”

Bai Xiaoya silently recited two words, setting the command successfully.

Mission accomplished.

The reward that might reverse the situation was in hand.

Next, she could sleep a little more, enjoying a Second Sleep.

Zzzz

The three girls didn’t fall asleep together, nor did they wake together.

After Bai Xiaoya drifted into her Second Sleep, Bai Xia was the next to wake, quietly getting up and going downstairs with mixed feelings, not disturbing the other two.

Last night was like being forced onto the stage.

The atmosphere was right, and Su Qingyu had already made a move, so there was no room to think, only to push through.

Looking back now, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity.

What exactly did she do last night!

The girl walked out to the courtyard, sighing softly in the sunlight.

Stop thinking about it. Go for a run.

Bai Xiaoya was the second to wake, not sleeping deeply during her Second Sleep.

Just a light nap was enough.

After being pushed off her small hand for the second time, Su Qingyu finally woke up last.

“Aya,”

The Blonde Loli blinked sleepily.

“Is it morning?”

Bai Xiaoya almost lost her composure.

“You overestimate yourself. It’s already noon.”

Baby, you’re such a weakling who loves to play, and you still think you can get up before dawn.

Su Qingyu’s face turned red, especially when she saw Bai Xia’s spot already empty, knowing she had gotten up first. So unfair, why is her body so good? She’s still just a high schooler.

Downstairs, Bai Xia had just finished her run and encountered Madam Bai at the door.

“Xia, you finally woke up? You didn’t come down for breakfast either. It’s almost lunchtime. Come to the dining room and don’t run around.”

Bai Xia nodded. “Okay, Mom.”

“By the way, where’s Xiaoya? And has her classmate left yet?”

Madam Bai thought of her other daughter.

“I’ll go up and check.”

Bai Xia didn’t have time or reason to stop her, so she could only watch as Madam Bai went upstairs.

In the bedroom, Su Qingyu was about to sneak a touch of the Big White Leg when a knock sounded.

“Xiaoya, are you awake? It’s time to get up. Lunch is almost ready.”

Startled, she quickly withdrew her little hand.

“Awake, awake! We’ll be down soon.”

Bai Xiaoya responded.

But Madam Bai felt something was off.

Wasn’t last night a Learning Meeting?

Why were both of them sleeping in so late?

“Xiaoya, I’m coming in to get something.”

Before Bai Xiaoya could speak, the sound of a key turning in the lock was heard, and she had no choice but to look at Su Qingyu.

It’s over. If a Loli was found hiding in the room, things would get troublesome.

Although, it was only slightly better than discovering your own ‘sister’ hiding in addition to the Loli.

Su Qingyu grew even more nervous, her little head instantly overcoming her early-morning sugar deficit, spinning rapidly as she caught sight of the Wind Chime swaying in the breeze outside the window.

There was Wind!

Her anxiety flipped to joy as she dashed towards the window, her small figure light as a feather.

Then, under Bai Xiaoya’s stunned gaze, she leaped out.

“No, girl…”

Was that really necessary?

Madam Bai entered, finding nothing unusual apart from a slightly messy bed and a stronger scent of flowers.

“Xiaoya, come down and eat.”

She said.

Could it be that she was overthinking it?

At that moment, outside the window, the Blonde Loli’s small body slid down the wall with the breeze, like a trailing tail following the wind, almost silent except for a faint rustle of dust.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Reward: Wind Maiden: Movement Advancement. You can now act along the trajectory of the wind.]

This was the reward earned last night in the two-versus-one.

Whether it would be useful in future battles was still unknown.

But for now, it worked perfectly.

Bai Xia stood at the doorway, the only one who saw her land from the upper floor, lips pressed together.

“Wait a minute. I’ll go in and get you a pair of slippers. Then you can come in.”

As long as they weren’t caught, it was fine. The girl felt much more at ease.

Part of it was due to team camaraderie, and the other part…

She was afraid that if Su Qingyu was caught, she’d say, “Bai Xia did it too.”
