Chapter 93: A Web of Worries and Wicked Words

After a brief, gentle embrace, Ye Qing delicately pushed the Silver-haired girl away. Her mind still lingered on the scenes that had flashed before her.

‘Indeed, she’s not the Xuanyu I know, but why did I even entertain such a thought?’

Ye Qing couldn’t help but recall Silver Moon’s words from before. That seemingly casual, divisive remark, which she had so easily dismissed, now appeared to have quietly taken root in her heart, making it impossible to shake off these intrusive thoughts.

“I must go now. We’ll meet again at the infirmary later.”

Gu Xuanyu opened the small window in the restroom and agilely slipped through it. Like a snow rabbit darting from its burrow, she swiftly reached the outside.

She still needed to avoid Duanmu Jin, lest she be discovered.

Though Ye Qing was still brimming with questions, they would have to wait until evening.

Ye Qing, equally burdened with worries, nodded. She then exited the restroom through the main door. The light-green-haired girl, who had been secretly watching, finally stopped tapping her brow once Ye Qing emerged, casting a complex gaze upon her.

‘It happened last time, and it’s happening again…’

“I’m sorry, I really wanted to go see Xiao Yi with you all, but I probably can’t today.”

Ye Qing nodded, remembering that Duanmu Jin had gone to see Liu Qingruo last night, though Liu Qingruo hadn’t woken up then.

Duanmu Jin observed the black-haired girl, who shimmered with a faint silver glow, and her delicate brows arched slightly.

‘Is it just my imagination? I feel like the aura around her is even more pronounced than before…’

‘I’ll consider it later. For now, I need to address the issue with Violet.’

***

On her way to the healing center, Ye Qing dialed An Yueying’s number.

She knew Silver Moon was currently in An Yueying’s hands, and it would be more convenient to question her directly.

The phone rang twice before being answered, but the moment it connected, strange sounds filled the line.

–You should lick it clean, darling~–

Ye Qing frowned in confusion, pressing her ear closer to the receiver, listening intently.

In the background, another woman’s voice was faintly audible. Its seductive timbre seemed familiar—it sounded like the pink-haired woman who had abducted Lin Xiaoyao.

–H-how did you do that?–

An Yueying’s reply was a soft chuckle.

–You wouldn’t understand even if I told you… Oh, right, Xiao Ye Qing, I almost forgot about you. You didn’t hear anything too dreadful, did you?–

Ye Qing, who had been upgraded from the teasing nickname ‘Qing’ (a mascot-like term) to the more intimate ‘Xiao Ye Qing,’ couldn’t help but feel it sounded more like calling a pet cat or dog ‘Xiao Hei’.

–I did hear something.–

Ye Qing sighed helplessly. This wicked woman had most likely made her listen on purpose, though Ye Qing couldn’t fathom her intentions.

If it was to showcase her depraved life after fully integrating into the evil organization, then she had certainly achieved her goal.

–I’m truly sorry to have let you hear that. I’m busy handling matters here at the tea party, but the most troublesome issue has been resolved. I’ll come pick you up in a few days.–

An Yueying gazed down at the pink-haired woman, who lay sprawled on the floor like a heap of mud, occasionally letting out groans.

An Yueying’s description was nonchalant, as if the tea party’s chief, a figure capable of rivaling Fading Star, were merely a weak woman to be easily humiliated.

–What do you mean ‘pick me up’? Are you planning to sneak in?–

An Yueying lowered her voice mysteriously, deliberately teasing Ye Qing.

–You’ll find out when the time comes~–

Ye Qing was speechless. She knew that the more she pressed, the less inclined this woman would be to elaborate, so she decided to return to the main topic.

–I have a few questions for Silver Moon. Can you help me interrogate her?–

This request didn’t surprise An Yueying. She had already conditioned Silver Moon to be completely compliant.

–Hold on.–

The phone was handed to Tang Nuo, and Miss Nuomi Tang’s endearing, soft voice immediately came through the receiver.

–Ye Qing, how are you? Those Magical Girls haven’t done anything excessive to you, have they?–

Feeling Tang Nuo’s concern, Ye Qing experienced a surge of relief.

‘As expected, Xiao Nuo is the best behaved.’

–I’m fine, don’t worry.–

‘Sister An is thinking of coming to save you, don’t worry. When we get back, we’ll watch a movie together.’

Ye Qing’s mouth twitched slightly. She retracted her earlier thought.

‘Xiao Nuo is bad too, so bad!’

Watching a movie with Xiao Nuo always ended the same way.

First, it would be, “Sister, sister, why are there only girls in this movie?”

“Oh, the male lead always appears at the end, don’t worry.”

Then, “Sister, sister, why are all these girls kissing?”

“Oh, that’s called ambiance. Don’t you think girls being affectionate is also very alluring?”

Finally, “Sister, sister, this isn’t right?” “Oh, after watching for so long, don’t you feel anything?”

And then, she would be naturally pushed down…

–Enough with the small talk. You have questions for this white-haired one, right? Just ask. I’ll be responsible for hitting her. Don’t worry, I guarantee every word will be the truth.–

Tang Nuo pushed open the room door, and a rich, smoky aroma permeated the air through the gap. Yet, she didn’t find it unpleasant; instead, she took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, two tiny red hearts had bloomed in her golden irises, and the glossy black teaching whip had materialized in her hand.

Watching the blue-haired girl nervously approach, Silver Moon, bound to the chair, recoiled in fear. However, her lips were taped shut, allowing only muffled whimpers to escape.

In the past few days, under the influence of An Yueying’s unknown elixirs, her nerves had become erratic. Pain, pleasure, numbness… they all merged, making differentiation impossible.

This body no longer felt like her own, causing her to lose control over it, yet the sensations remained firmly linked to her consciousness, denying her any respite.

Just now, merely seeing Tang Nuo’s familiar teaching whip involuntarily triggered memories of the pain from past lashings. The lingering marks on her skin burned anew, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body.

In her original design, she was not meant to possess desires, but after An Yueying inserted the black slime into her, everything changed. Many sensations that she could once view with indifference became unbearable, even usable to manipulate her body.

An Yueying had remarked that Silver Moon herself was an excellent ingredient for elixirs. Her golden blood, and those silvery substances… unexpectedly possessed the ability to manipulate will.

During the concoction of the secret medicine named Violet, Silver Moon endured much suffering.

Now, her inner world had become extremely sensitive and anxious. She had completely lost the ability to resist, and the courage to harbor any hidden intentions, knowing only how to endure and obey—just as she had hoped Magical Girls would be.

But in such a pathetic state, how could she possibly protect humanity from an evil executive?

Tang Nuo casually tore off the tape, causing Silver Moon to tightly close her eyes. Her vibrant, cherry-red lips were already swollen, appearing exceptionally full and alluring.

–Take this. It’s a call from Ye Qing. Apologize to her honestly, okay?–

Silver Moon numbly held the phone between her shoulder and ear. Moments later, tears welled in her eyes, and she repeatedly whispered, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Listening to that choked voice, Ye Qing felt a complex mix of emotions, with little of the satisfaction of revenge.
