Bibi Dong's message left everyone in the group stunned.
Weren't those two always at each other's throats?
It seemed Ma Hongjun had truly offended everyone.
Just as everyone was sighing over it, a new message instantly sent the entire Chat Group in a strange direction.
[Little Witch: Purify what? He seems... to already be a eunuch!]
Blue Tyrant Academy, Girls' Dormitory.
Ning Rongrong curled up on her soft, large bed, her little face full of disgust.
Whenever she thought about being in the same academy as someone like Ma Hongjun, and even having spoken to him before, she felt nauseated, as though she had swallowed a fly.
That Fatty really was a piece of work!
However, when she recalled the news she had heard a few days ago, the corner of her mouth could not help but lift in satisfied delight.
Served him right!
Trash like him deserved such an ending!
Feeling pleased, she casually sent the news to the group.
Yet her message was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up towering waves.
[My Cat is White and Big: How did you know?]
Zhu Zhuqing's question was as concise as ever.
[Bunny is the Cutest: ???]
Xiao Wu sent a string of question marks, expressing her confusion.
[Gentle Fire Dragon: You're at Blue Tyrant Academy?]
Liu Erlong's question was rather direct.
After all, the people from Shrek Academy had only visited Blue Tyrant Academy a few days ago.
Only people within Blue Tyrant Academy could know about this so clearly.
[Poison Fairy: You're either from Blue Tyrant Academy or a student of Shrek Academy, right? You found out so quickly.]
Dugu Yan's guess was even bolder.
The string of questions left Ning Rongrong somewhat dazed.
Before she could react, a message that made her scalp tingle followed immediately after.
[Pontiff: Little Witch? Heh, the range has narrowed. Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy... I'm going to catch you?!]
Spirit City.
Deep within the Pontiff's Palace was a luxurious bathhouse shrouded in steam.
Bibi Dong reclined against the edge of the pool, her long purple hair dampened by the mist and clinging to her smooth back, alluring and seductive.
Her long, well-proportioned beautiful legs swayed gently in the warm spring water, creating ring after ring of ripples. The water was crystal clear, faintly revealing skin like creamy white jade and flawless ankles.
Seeing Little Witch's message, a flash of excitement flickered through her charming phoenix eyes.
Was that little girl who had always dared to openly provoke her and oppose her finally about to reveal a flaw?
A cat-and-mouse thrill rose within her.
Splash—
The sound of water rang out.
Bibi Dong slowly rose from the hot spring, exposing her ample, snow-white body to the air. Droplets slid down her astonishing curves, leaving crystal-clear trails across her smooth skin.
She extended a slender finger and lightly touched her red lips, a teasing smile on her face.
"Blue Tyrant Academy... or Shrek?"
"No matter who you are, as long as you're in Heaven Dou City, you won't get away."
"If I catch you..."
"Hehehe."
A string of silvery laughter echoed through the empty bath hall, carrying a touch of anticipation and a touch of ill intent.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Seeing the string of questions in the Chat Group, especially Bibi Dong's clearly threatening words, Ning Rongrong immediately felt a chill shoot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
It was over!
She seemed to have said the wrong thing!
Her little face instantly turned pale, without a trace of color of blood.
Her big eyes, usually spirited and cunning, were now full of Panic and Fear.
She had argued with that Pontiff quite a few times in the group, and had even called her an Old Hag.
If Bibi Dong really discovered her identity, the consequences would be unimaginable!
With that woman's ruthless methods, she would probably drag her back to Spirit Hall and skin her alive, wrenching out her tendons!
More importantly, everyone's identity in this group was secret.
If her quick tongue made her the first person to expose her identity, that would be far too dangerous!
No, absolutely not!
Ning Rongrong's mind raced as she forced herself to calm down and think of a way to remedy the situation.
Her slender fingers rapidly tapped across the Light Screen, trembling slightly as she sent an explanation.
[Little Witch: Oh, you're all overthinking it! How could I possibly be at Blue Tyrant Academy?]
[Little Witch: I'm in Heaven Dou City. I have a friend near Blue Tyrant Academy, and I happened to hear it from her! After all, gossip this big spreads quickly!]
After sending the messages, Ning Rongrong nervously hugged her knees, her heart in her throat.
Fortunately, no one in the group seemed suspicious.
[Gentle Fire Dragon: So that's how it is.]
[Poison Fairy: Heaven Dou City isn't that big. It's normal for word to spread quickly.]
[Bunny is the Cutest: You scared me.]
Seeing everyone's reactions, Ning Rongrong Sighed in Relief, feeling as though she had just walked through the Gate of Hell.
Inside the dormitory, Lu Ming took everything in, his expression somewhat strange.
He wanted to laugh, but also felt a little helpless.
"This Ning Rongrong is really in a hurry when it comes to intelligence."
He shook his head and muttered softly.
"But the people in this group seem generally not very intelligent either."
"An explanation Full of Loopholes, yet not one of them noticed!"
In Lu Ming's eyes, Ning Rongrong's explanation was simply Full of Loopholes.
First, the timing was wrong.
The people from Shrek Academy had only left yesterday. The news that Ma Hongjun had become a Crippled was circulating only within a Very Small Circle, so how could it have already become major gossip that spread quickly?
Second, the Information Source was vague.
A friend near Blue Tyrant Academy was far too perfunctory an excuse.
Most crucially, it was the timing of Ning Rongrong's message.
When the group's condemnation of Ma Hongjun had reached its peak, she had dropped that satisfying piece of news at Just Right moment.
It seemed more like something Blurt Out by an informed person in a moment of emotional excitement, rather than something heard secondhand by a Passerby.
Unfortunately, the women in the group were either Muddle-headed with anger or Simple-minded, and none of them thought deeply about it.
Even Bibi Dong, who should have been the most suspicious, seemed to have had her rational judgment dulled by the excitement of catching Little Witch.
The corner of Lu Ming's mouth curled up as he watched the Light Screen with Great Interest.
That was fine too.
A group of "smart" people would not be easy to fool.
This was much more interesting.
At the same time.
Blue Tyrant Academy, behind a secluded grove.
Moonlight filtered through gaps in the Branches and Leaves, scattering mottled Light and Shadow across the ground.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were crouching sneakily inside a clump of bushes, their figures perfectly concealed by the shadows.
