I'll Definitely Do My Best

After thinking for a moment, Ling Mengxue reached for her phone and answered the call with some trepidation.

Sure enough, before she could even speak, a familiar, gentle voice came through the phone. "Xiaofeng? Where are you? Why aren't you home?!"

"Sister, I..."

"Tell me, did you sneak off to the internet cafe to play games again?"

"..."

"You're a girl now, why do you still love to run around? Can't you just give your older sister a break?"

Goodness, judging from that voice, it's definitely angry.

They probably got a surprise check-up. How could they be checked after only one day?

What a coincidence!

Ling Mengxue thought for a moment, then unleashed her Divine Acting, saying calmly and respectfully, "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm having evening self-study at school."

She spoke with righteous indignation, as if she were seriously studying, without any flaws.

The person on the other end of the phone naturally fell silent, as if deep in thought.

After a long pause, Ling Xiaoyu asked with some doubt, "Day students at Dragon Soaring High School don't have to attend evening self-study sessions. Are you sure you're staying for extra lessons voluntarily?"

"Sister, you don't know yet, do you? I'm a boarding student now."

Ling Mengxue thought for a moment and explained, "We're seniors in high school now, and the college entrance exam is just around the corner. In order to study better at school, I discussed accommodation with the class monitor and the others."

Meanwhile, the Street Garden Apartments

Upon hearing this answer, Ling Xiaoyu's eyebrows furrowed, somewhat skeptical, and she asked, "Really? Living in the girls' dormitory?"

"Ah, this..." "Yes..."

Unexpectedly, her sister brought this up suddenly, and Ling Mengxue blushed with embarrassment, but still forced herself to explain.

She felt like she could carve out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes!

It's really frustrating.

Oh well, it's just a lie, not shameful at all~

I thought my clever older sister would continue to ask for more details, trying to find a loophole in her answer. But to my surprise, after hearing her answer, my sister became inexplicably angry.

"I can't be bothered with you anymore, just remember to study!"

Beep--!!

Before Ling Mengxue could say anything, the other party hung up the phone.

What's going on?

Could it be because I live in the girls' dormitory that I made Xiaoyu, who is also a girl, angry?

Ling Mengxue shook her head. At least her acting was convincing, and she didn't give herself away for secretly running away from home.

But why was there a hint of jealousy in my sister's words?

He shook his head, sighed, and decided to simply stop thinking about it.

At least now she can finally lie back in her comfortable, big bed.

After a long day, I hope I can have sweet dreams~

The nights always seem especially long.

However, she was unaware that in that brief moment, some "horror stories" about the Silver-Haired Witch had already spread into the Ghost Communication Realm of the Ping'an District.

That's the online communication zone for the supernatural. It's an open network, and any resident of Ping'an Street who has paid their internet fee can directly enter the chat channel.

This is somewhat similar to the internet, but it also has a space for conscious interaction and regional divisions.

For example, the area where Magical Witch lives, Block One, is a large part of the Ping'an District, where many supernatural beings communicate and connect with each other.

Meanwhile, the [Ghost Domain Channel] in Ping'an Second Lane District was about to explode.

In the interactive space, messages scroll continuously, accompanied by virtual and real images, resembling an online game world.

The visual impact and the video quality are both very clear and strong.

[Dark Treant: I heard the Legendary Witch is back, is that true? Does anyone have any information? [Excited][Excited]]

[Bald Ghost: Mummy Brother, didn't you go out to gather intelligence this afternoon? How did it go? Has the Legendary Witch really returned as rumored? [Curious][Curious]]

[Dark Mummy: She's back, and Miss Witch is as beautiful as ever, but her medical skills have clearly declined!! [gritting her teeth]]

[Bald Ghost: What do you mean? [Raises eyebrow]]

[Dark Mummy: She... she actually... forgot to give me anesthesia! And I almost lost control, almost died! I swear I'll never go there again! [Fear][Fear]]

[Blood Doll: Nonsense! [Angry]]

[Blood Doll: My owner clearly said from the beginning that anesthesia could be used, you must have been the one who didn't use it to save money! [Solution][Solution]]

[Dark Mummy: Holy crap! Isn't this the witch's little girl? She's still awake??]

[Dark Mummy: Oh no, bald guy, I think I need to run! I'm afraid the witch will come after me!! [Extremely terrified]]

[Bald Ghost: I understand, I understand. I heard that the guardian of Central Avenue next door, 'Magical Witch,' is very friendly to everyone. Do you want to go there to lay low for a while?]

[Dark Mummy: Thank you so much! [Touched]]

[Skeleton Demon: Hehehe, we don't have a nervous system, no need for anesthesia~ [smug][smug]]

[Bald Ghost: By the way, does anyone know where Blood-Robed Princess Qunar? Why didn't he go to see the Witch?]

[The Kimono Yokai: Upon hearing that the Witch had returned, the Queen fled overnight. Ignoring whether it was a rumor or not, she grabbed her suitcase, donned sunglasses and a mask, and ran off.]

Snap--

The Magical Potion Shop

When Blood Doll saw the message from the Blood-Clad Queen, her bright eyes widened, and she immediately closed the regional channel, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Hmph~ Before Master returned, His Highness Blood Relative ruled over several large areas of Ping'an Street. After doing so many bad things, now he knows to tuck his tail between his legs and run away, doesn't he?"

As one of the top five beings in the Ping'an Realm, His Blood-Robed Princess is a sixth-tier Ghost King.

Normally, her very name is enough to strike fear into people's hearts in various regions; who would have thought that woman would have such a miserable day?

Hehehe--

Soon, the next morning arrived.

Ping'an Street seemed much quieter than usual yesterday, with fewer howls of vengeful ghosts and more of a dark silence.

On the large cotton bed, Ling Mengxue's lips curled up slightly. She had a wonderful dream last night, which made her excitedly fall back asleep as soon as she got up this morning.

It wasn't anything that wouldn't pass censorship; it was just that she took the initiative, gained the upper hand, and used a whole host of combinations to seduce her girlfriend in their cozy little home.

[Xi: Master, it's quite late, let's get up and start business early!!]

[Xi: Stop slacking off! The mission allows you to put your ladylike training on hold for now!!]

[Xi: I've already maxed out your Ladylike attribute, but you really don't have the talent for it... I've put a daily quest on you!]

[New! New Quest: <Open for Business!!> Hang up the business sign and relight the extinguished Soul Lamp. Quest Rewards: Medium Magic Source x1, Soul Coins x50, Old Bicycle x1]

"Task??"

Ling Mengxue rubbed her sleepy eyes, groggily opened them, and felt a pang of resentment in her heart.

Can't you see she's having a sweet dream?

A moment of blissful intimacy is worth a thousand pieces of gold, don't you understand?

Just this one time this morning, this Destiny Sign owes her at least tens of thousands of gold!

"Child! Relight the oil lamp and open for business!"

As soon as she stepped down the stairs, Ling Mengxue called out from afar.

"OK!!"

Blood Doll, who was engrossed in reading comics at the front desk, jumped up from her chair upon hearing Ling Mengxue's voice, understanding immediately and preparing to begin her daily work.

As a supernatural being with unlimited energy, she has twice as much gaming time as an ordinary person.

When other people come home tired after a long day, they need to rest and sleep, but she can keep playing all day long—that's so comfortable!

I excitedly pushed open the door, only to find that the outside was still shrouded in a gray fog, with visibility less than ten meters, and the street was completely silent.

Blood Doll, used to this, found a chair to stand on to reach the 'Soul Lamp' and refilled the lamp oil.

Being too short is a problem, there's no way around it.

The little hand twisted the spring, and only when the fuel dripped from inside onto the ignition wire did a wisp of pale blue flame reignite.

In the blink of an eye, the vast fog within the 'Soul Lamp' range was instantly evaporated and dissipated, greatly increasing visibility and revealing a dark street corner ahead.

After Blood Doll completed a series of operations, Ling Mengxue, who was preparing breakfast in the second-floor dining room, also heard the mission bell at the same time.

[Ding! <Open for Business!!> Quest complete. Quest rewards: Medium Magic Source x1, Soul Coins x50, Old Bicycle x1 (automatically parked at the entrance)]

"A bicycle? Are you sure this thing is for me?"

"Legendary Witch conquering Ping'an Street on a bicycle? This is a rather peculiar art style!"

Ling Mengxue was somewhat surprised. An old bicycle, really?

Although some thoughts flashed through her mind, she didn't take them to heart.

In the end, this was just a routine task, and rewarding it with a bicycle was already quite "generous," especially since she didn't even do the task herself, but had the maid do it for her.

But to put it simply, it only involves a few basic movements.

She placed the freshly fried, fragrant poached eggs on the table and first invited Blood Doll to come and eat.

The breakfast was exquisite; coffee and milk were warming on the table in the small dining room, and plates of steaming bacon were placed on a heater.

To enrich the little one's diet, Ling Mengxue specially cooked some oatmeal porridge, and also prepared plenty of toast, jam, orange marmalade, and honey, which she estimated would satisfy the little girl and fill the void in her heart.

Just as the Blood Doll was happily enjoying the breakfast prepared by its owner, Ling Mengxue had already gone downstairs.

She held a milk cup in her left hand and had a piece of bread in her mouth, appearing very casual and giving off a lazy and nonchalant vibe, which was completely at odds with her glamorous appearance.

After opening the drawer and taking out a quill pen and a notebook, she recalled from memory the invitation the Dark Witch had given her at the Idol Song-and-Dance Gala.

Ling Mengxue didn't know the specifics, but she had secretly written down the approximate address, just in case.

My girlfriend doesn't want me to have any contact with that witch, but since we're already here, shouldn't we at least go and take a look?

Why would that Dark Girl attack me for no reason?

Also, why does this "Princess Camp" issue seem to have made the other side act even more perversely?

That intoxicated look in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour himself whole, is just insane!

Ling Mengxue silently complained to herself, not having much affection for that so-called Dark Angels.

"The location they gave us is in the area opposite Central Avenue, which seems to be in that Evil Witch's territory. It can't be such a coincidence that it's that witch, can it?"

When the Blood Doll, rubbing its round belly and beaming with joy, walked downstairs, Ling Mengxue quietly put away the letters and documents, looked up, and smiled sweetly, saying, "Child, I have to go out for a bit later. If any guests come, just entertain them normally. If you can't handle it, just tell them to get lost. No charge."
