In the neighboring room, the black-haired girl with straight hair set down her blunt sword and gently wiped it clean.
This sword couldn’t be sharpened because it was a wooden sword.
Its core was reinforced with hardwood, and the outer layer was wrapped in a layer of carbon fiber—lightweight yet sturdy.
Most importantly, it wasn’t metal, so it couldn’t be countered by abilities that controlled metal.
She had chosen to live here for the quiet.
A certain woman had once told her that if she had to go on missions, it was best to room with girls, because with her looks, if there were any boys around, they’d likely keep pestering her.
However, she had just moved in and already noticed that the landlord sisters seemed to have ulterior motives.
But it didn’t matter as long as they didn’t set their sights on her.
As for the other girl renting a room…
Knock knock knock.
The knocking interrupted the girl’s thoughts.
After a brief hesitation, she walked over and opened the door.
“Hello, hello, roommate!”
An energetic voice pushed the door open.
The girl didn’t have time to step back and was immediately met with a pair of big, snowy-white spheres.
White, round.
“Who are you?” the girl said coldly.
She had planned to speak just at the doorway and then kick the person out quickly.
She hadn’t expected Bai Xiaonuo to barge in like this.
She wanted to stop her but suddenly realized that if she raised her hand, she’d hit those big mounds, so she instinctively stepped aside.
Bai Xiaonuo took the chance to squeeze in, even poking her arm.
“Didn’t I just say? I’m your roommate, the one renting with you,” the busty girl blinked innocently. “I’m Bai Xiaonuo, and you?”
The girl didn’t reply, only stared coldly.
After a while, she said, “Only if we both chip in to pay rent does it count as renting together. Did you pay?”
“Uh… well…”
Bai Xiaonuo’s face flushed.
Then her eyes lit up when she noticed the black sword.
“What’s that? A cosplay prop?”
The black-haired girl said nothing, only furrowed her brow.
“Actually, I’m into 2D too! I want to try cosplay,” Bai Xiaonuo tried to get close, “How about we go to an event together next time?”
The girl rolled her eyes—You’re into 2D?
Your whole family’s into 2D.
The ancestral jade pendant inside Bai Xiaonuo’s big mounds shivered, not knowing who was cursing it.
Seeing that the girl wasn’t budging, Bai Xiaonuo simply moved toward the sword: “So cool, all shiny black—what’s it made of?”
“Don’t touch!”
The black-haired girl quickly blocked her and stood firm in front of Bai Xiaonuo.
Bai Xiaonuo hadn’t expected such swift movement and was slightly startled, instinctively pulling back her long legs.
But her upper body had already leaned forward, and with those large mounds’ momentum, her balance was lost—
Thud!
She didn’t fall.
The slender black-haired girl was much stronger than expected and stood as steady as a mountain—but Bai Xiaonuo did bump into her.
The girl felt a pair of small hands press against her chest.
Just as she was about to push them away, her head was buried in something large and soft, a sweet milky scent wafting.
?!
“No… sorry.”
Bai Xiaonuo quickly realized what had happened and stepped back two paces.
“It was an accident. Don’t mind it, I don’t.”
She thought to herself that though she accidentally touched a little hill, she also buried her head in a big snowy mountain.
Both sides backing off, no need to make a fuss.
But when she looked up, she found the girl’s face was as cold as water, with an ominous killing intent lurking beneath the chill.
Why are you so angry?
By size and position, I’m the one who should be losing here.
Bai Xiaonuo was confused.
She looked down at her big mounds and then at the girl’s small chest bun, thinking carefully, and suddenly understood.
Yes, in this awkward contact, the softness was undeniable, but it also made her feel the stark size difference.
“Don’t worry,” Bai Xiaonuo smiled softly, “small can be cute too.”
“Three seconds,” the girl’s hand reached for the black sword, “get out!”
Bai Xiaonuo shivered slightly, sensing danger for some reason, and quickly turned to run out.
“Fine, fine, I’m going,” she said as she patted her chest cautiously. “No need to be so fierce.”
You don’t even have breasts, I don’t know what you’re so fierce about.
Actually, there were some, very soft, just small compared to Bai Xiaonuo’s.
Back in her room, the ancestral jade pendant immediately popped out to mock—well, to speak: “How was it? Took a hit, huh? I told you it wouldn’t work.”
Bai Xiaonuo puffed her cheeks: “She’s just too strange. No normal person acts like that.”
Who turns away such a cute, busty beauty and gets all fierce about it?
And she moves so fast! One second she’s on the left, the next second right in front of you.
I was walking too, but she still managed to cut me off unfairly.
“Anyway, your method didn’t work. What now?” the pendant asked.
Bai Xiaonuo thought for a moment, then snorted, “It’s just money, no big deal. I’ll just borrow some.”
She took out her phone and a small slip of paper, adding the older sister’s account from yesterday.
Maybe worried the phone number could be traced, she gave a QQ number instead.
Then Bai Xiaonuo handed her phone to the pendant: “Here, take some photos for me.”
The pendant could control small objects like phones with its power.
“Photos… what for?” the pendant was shocked. “Are you becoming an idol or something?”
“Of course not. I’ll send them to that big sister from last night,” Bai Xiaonuo said, “and ask her to lend me some money.”
The pendant was stunned: “But she’s a killer! You’re sending her photos and asking for money?”
“Who cares about all that? Didn’t you say she likes me?” Bai Xiaonuo’s face turned confident, “Otherwise, why would she copy my abilities?”
The pendant realized she had a point and decided to help, but when she turned around, Bai Xiaonuo was already pulling down her collar.
“What are you doing? Put it back up! Showing your shoulders like that, you’re not some sly old fox. That’s way too low.”
“Didn’t you say it’s fine as long as it’s not too revealing?”
“That’s for others. Yours are too big.”
“…”
Bai Xiaonuo cycled through her few clothes—pajamas, T-shirts, sports bras, a JK sailor uniform, skirts, shorts, and panties—posing and taking photos in various ways.
Finally, she lay on the pillow, panting heavily, and sighed:
“Making money is so exhausting.”
The pendant gave her a sidelong glance, feeling something was off about hearing that from Bai Xiaonuo.
“Here, post them.”
….
In a hotel somewhere in the same city, Ling Kai had rented a room and sat on the bed, thinking over his next plan.
The hotel was expensive, but the interior was decent.
On the bedside table were some strange items, like a magical girl’s wand.
Ridiculous.
What’s the point of preparing those?
Does anyone think I’d use them if I lived alone?
Ordinary society really is full of prejudice and stereotypes…
Buzz buzz buzz—his phone vibrated with a new QQ message alert.
