19: Chapter 19 Decision

Then Xu Si added unhurriedly, "As for this Cleric lady, her compensation will be based on the requirements for temporary workers. I will submit it for approval; if it gets approved, we'll implement it, and if it doesn't, we'll implement it on the sly." He chuckled after saying this. "That's sincere enough, right?"

"Feng Baobao, dig Chu Lan out. Wake him up quickly, then we'll pack up and leave." Xu San rubbed his forehead again, "Can't you see the girl next to him?" He pointed at Mia, "This is a romantic tribulation for Zhang Chulan; you can't break it."

Feng Baobao didn't say a word. She rubbed her chin for a moment, then, as if having made a decision, she muttered to herself, "That's true, there aren't many men who can withstand this girl."

"So, shall we dig him out?" Xu Si asked with a lack of confidence. Feng Baobao tossed the shovel at him and walked away into the distance without looking back.

"Hey! Feng Baobao!" Xu San abandoned his cool, aloof persona and shouted at Feng Baobao, "Remember to go to Nankai University in two days, the same class as Zhang Chulan. I put your student ID in your bag, I..." He didn't continue. Xu San looked at Feng Baobao's retreating figure with the resentful expression of an abandoned woman.

"Oh, right, Mia, is it?" Xu San returned to his cold, intellectual, handsome persona. "This is your student ID. It's the same as Feng Baobao's. Whether you go or not is up to you."

Mia narrowed her peach-blossom eyes and smiled sweetly, "Thanks, Brother San!" Then she snatched the student ID and tucked it into her leg garter.

[Received Feng Baobao's gift [tongyou coin], received [Profane Holy Vestment · phantom silk stockings]]

[Do you wish to continue your adventure? The opponents ahead may be even harder to resist.]

"Continue!" Mia thought to herself. She used Feng Baobao's hair tie to gather her hair, which had been stained by muddy water, and stood in the rain like a proud iris.

The brilliant summer sun was always dazzling, but it couldn't compare to Mia today. The previous teammates hadn't received their special side quest rewards and had been teleported back to Paradise Lost after the settlement.

She, on the other hand, arrived at Nankai University, where Zhang Chulan was studying, along with Feng Baobao—well, her student ID now said Xu Baobao.

They became two glorious transfer students. The Dean of Academic Affairs stared at the two bizarre transfer files: one stamped with the wax seal of the Cleric headquarters, and the other with peanut crumbs from a Taiwan night market stuck to the edge of the stamp. And the two girls in front of him—one was peeling an apple with a kitchen knife, while the other had faint, shimmering starlight beneath her pleated skirt.

Sister Baoer still looked sloppy even in her school uniform. Mia had put in a lot of effort using the makeup knowledge she had inherited to give her a Japanese-style natural makeup look.

Her long, straight black hair fell naturally, and her ignorant, innocent gaze (dull gaze) added a touch of purity. Her well-proportioned figure was perfectly displayed against the academic-style school uniform, looking incredibly pure and full of a lazy, relaxed beauty. If not for the kitchen knife hidden in her sleeve, she might have looked even more beautiful;

Today, Mia had also transformed her nun's habit into a school uniform. To avoid gossip, she had carefully put on dark brown colored contact lenses.

The cross pendant on her upper body was hidden inside her white chiffon top. A bow was tied at the collar, swaying with the rise and fall of her breathing, and the fitted blazer outlined her slender waist;

Her lower body wore a light-colored plaid pleated skirt, nude stockings with slouch socks, and small black leather shoes that made a crisp clicking sound as they hit the ground. However, if a spirit seer were present, they would notice that with every step she took, the soles of her shoes would emit a faint, outward-spreading black halo invisible to ordinary people.

Her face was too clean, like a high school student who knew nothing of the world. When her almond-shaped eyes drooped, her long, curled eyelashes cast faint shadows. Paired with the heart-shaped tear mole at the corner of her eye, she looked innocent and soft. With her long, dark brown hair tied up, she was as beautiful as an angel (or devil) fallen to the mortal realm.

Her succubus figure and aura combined with her pure appearance meant that later, when the two of them went out, it directly increased the maintenance costs for the campus utility poles. At noon in the cafeteria, there was a rumor that the maintenance department had urgently repaired three utility poles that had been crashed into, and the school infirmary had treated over 20 boys who had broken their heads.

"Mia? Let's go." Sister Baoer, with a slice of bread in her mouth, kicked open the dormitory door.

Mia rubbed her forehead, grabbed the carton of milk that Sister Baoer hadn't finished, and hurried to follow. She finally understood why Xu San was so proficient at this forehead-rubbing gesture; because being with Sister Baoer meant rubbing your forehead at least three times a day, and it really made your head ache.

"Xu Si said that someone like Zhang Chulan needs to be properly disciplined." Sister Baoer said with confidence, uttering words that were in complete contrast to her current image.

"So she's the succubus, right? I'm just an ordinary human girl." Mia's internal monologue gushed out again.

"Xuanxue, also known as Neo-Daoism, was in China during the Wei and Jin dynasties..." The teacher's booming lecture on the podium was attracting Mia's serious attention, and she was diligently taking notes. Zhang Chulan, on her left, seemed to have developed schizophrenia; one moment he was leering at her with a foolish grin, calling her "Sister Ya" endlessly, and the next he was baring his teeth at Feng Baobao, who was sitting to his left.

Mia couldn't help it and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. The thought of having to watch these two unrelated "siblings" clash later made her feel that this trip was worth it.

She chewed on her pen, recalling what happened after the battle that day:

After Xu Si helped Mia dig Zhang Chulan out, he helped take him to a hotel near the security station. Mia stayed by the bed all night until Zhang Chulan woke up before preparing to leave. Zhang Chulan clung tightly to Mia's thigh, refusing to let go (shameless lecherous hands), saying he wanted to enjoy the beauty of a lap pillow while awake, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang himself. Later, she told Chu Lan she would also transfer to Nankai University, and only after they agreed to meet again at school did she manage to get away.

"Hey? Come back to reality." Sister Baoer gently reminded her as she walked by. Mia smiled, quickly packed her bag, and followed.

She knew that Zhang Chulan, who had been toughened up since childhood by his father's combo moves—like the Yama's Three-Point Strike and the Fierce Tiger Hard Mountain Climbing—would soon face a long-lost beating. And then become Sister Baoer's slave.

However, Liu Yanyan, who was supposed to appear later, had already been detained by the company. She had confessed that she had handed over the remains of Old Master Zhang Huaiyi to Lv Liang of Quanxing. Zhang Chulan's danger couldn't disappear; it was only delayed or advanced. Therefore, the enemies to be faced at school might be even more powerful than those in the original plot.

"Should I secretly help Chu Lan a little later? What a headache." Mia muttered to herself.

"Mia, you are not allowed to interfere later. I want to personally discipline this disobedient slave, Zhang Chulan." Sister Baoer was sharp as a tack, waving her fist to warn Mia.

After thinking about it, Mia sighed and decided not to defy Sister Baoer. She bought some fruit and went to the boys' dormitory, greeting his roommates with a smile and saying, "We're going ice skating at the indoor rink later, and I'm afraid he'll be cold." Amidst everyone's envious cursing at Zhang Chulan, she brought back a pile of snacks and a jacket belonging to Zhang Chulan.

Then, like a follower, she walked behind Feng Baobao, carrying the clothes in silence.

The Golden Light Spell lasted a little longer than in the original plot, but was still shattered, and along with it, Zhang Chulan's self-esteem.

Mia's pupils constricted. In the instant the Golden Light Spell shattered, she seemed to see countless golden characters escaping from the cracks—those secret inheritance texts that should have belonged to the Celestial Masters Mansion were now being quietly captured by her Succubus Eye.

The Succubus Eye also took the opportunity to inspect Zhang Chulan's shougongsha, including the completion of the slave-master initiation ceremony and the issuing of the antique mobile phone.

The lace stocking was suddenly torn, making a silk-ripping sound. Feng Baobao's fingers, stained with chili oil, hooked the edge of the stocking. "Borrowing this for a second." Her tone was as flat as if she were asking for a tissue, while her other hand held down the back of the struggling Zhang Chulan's neck.

"Wait, this isn't appro—" Mia's protest was blocked in her throat by a spicy stick stuffed back into her mouth. When the torn silk stocking was twisted into a special knot in Feng Baobao's hand and tied around Zhang Chulan's wrists, the lace cutouts pressed right against his pulse points.

Zhang Chulan's ear tips flushed red as he discovered that the lace pattern digging into his skin was absorbing the remnants of the Golden Light Spell, and the residual body heat in the toe of the stocking was resonating strangely with his own pulse. Feng Baobao suddenly leaned close to his collarbone and took a deep breath: "Smelled it... The scents of you two are twisted together like a twist of dough."

Mia had been blushing and silent the whole time. It wasn't until Zhang Chulan asked Sister Baoer how he was supposed to go back to the dormitory looking like this that Feng Baobao suddenly turned to look at the clothes Mia was carrying, her eyes full of the light of curiosity: "How did you know he needed a change of clothes?"

"The weather forecast said it would rain tonight. Besides, these snacks were given to Sister Baoer by Zhang Chulan's roommates." Mia lowered her head and giggled. She obediently handed the clothes to Zhang Chulan and stuffed the snacks to Feng Baobao.

She untied his restraints, took back her personal belonging, and turned to Feng Baobao, saying: "I listened to you and didn't participate in your fight, so it's not too much to bring a jacket, right?"

"Sister Ya, you've seen it all now; from now on, I, Zhang Chulan, am yours..." Zhang Chulan, halfway through his sentence, was kicked away by Sister Baoer. "Slave, don't touch my person."

Mia helplessly poked Zhang Chulan's forehead with her finger, "Be good, hurry back to the dormitory; they're going to check the rooms soon." She gave Zhang Chulan a bright, warm smile, while internally calculating, "Will I meet Xia He tomorrow? Or will I encounter all four of the Four Maniacs?" Thinking of this, she sighed silently again.
