So You're Ling Mengxue? / A Pair of Black Stockings as a Reward!

Special Note: You may use the young lady's personal tools~~

"Day Two of the Mission: Unknown, not yet open, stay tuned--" (?˙ー˙?)

"Day 3 of the mission: Unknown, not yet started, stay tuned--" (? oo?)

"Day 4 of the mission: Unknown, not yet available, stay tuned--" w(?Д?)w

"The fifth day..." (???`?)

As the final notification tone faded, a moment of silence fell over the room.

Of the group, only Ling Lexuan showed some interest; Nan Muya and Meng Xi had complicated expressions, along with a sense of helplessness and shyness, their faces turning red.

This task... it can't be what it literally means, right??

Girls... flirting with girls?!

Do I have to train them to be obedient and satisfy them before I can pass the level?

Why would such an absurd mechanic appear in a horror game they're in?

Are you sure this isn't a game?!

Are the others that haven't been opened yet also...?

"I won't say much more, just let you experience it for yourselves~ If you don't like it, you can forfeit. The punishment won't hurt your lives, you'll just have to be my pets. I still think it's not enough. OK, I'll be watching you from somewhere~"

Bai Yun chuckled, and then her figure vanished into thin air like a ghost, leaving only her ethereal and melancholic voice echoing in everyone's ears...

The room door was locked from the inside, without a doubt. Ling Mengxue had checked it beforehand, and it seemed to be protected by some kind of restriction. Unless Destiny Engraver of the Trial-Level or above intervened, there was no way to get out.

But by then, it would mean their mission had failed, and punishment would befall them. There was nowhere to hide in this manor, let alone Bai Yun, who was currently hiding in the darkness secretly observing them.

That's incredibly sneaky!

Helpless, Nan Muya could only suppress her shame and try to "operate" with Ling Lexuan.

The scene was so beautiful, it was almost unbearable to look at!

Anyone who tries it will be embarrassed!

Although the girls were very cooperative, it's really off-putting to have them, as women themselves, "disciplining" other women, isn't it?

Compared to the other two, Meng Xi appeared shy and uneasy.

She was a girl who only knew how to read and study. Her hobbies outside of class were drawing and playing the piano. Even though she had received confessions of love from others, she had never been in a relationship. She was the perfect child in other people's eyes, so of course she knew nothing about such things.

Now, if she were asked to flirt with a girl, she really wouldn't know how. Even if she knew a few tricks, she still couldn't relax and felt completely helpless.

Out of the corner of her eye, Meng Xi caught sight of Ling Mengxue sitting listlessly on the lawn nearby. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly overcame her embarrassment, saying shyly, "Brother Ling, we only have a few hours. Aren't you going to... aren't you going to pick one and try it out?"

As she continued, Meng Xi's face turned bright red, her head bowed low, as if talking about such things was shameful, embarrassing, and that her words were unpleasant.

"It won't make a difference if it takes a little longer," Ling Mengxue smiled at her.

I can somewhat understand Meng Xi's feelings. Any normal girl would find it difficult to deal with something like this calmly, right?

But they have to face all of this, otherwise, no one can say for sure what will happen next...

Compared to what happened in the living room, this simple flirting was relatively mild; all it took was winning the girl's favor to complete the task. Who knows what outrageous things might happen next?

As for her own thoughts now, they are mainly focused on these girls who are being controlled.

There are magical potions in the Destiny Space that can help them regain their senses, but she can't do that now to avoid Bai Yun, who might be spying on them. She can only look for an opportunity later.

"By the way, do you like cats? If not, you can imagine them as cats," Ling Mengxue said, recalling Bai Yun's earlier actions.

She noticed that Meng Xi still had concerns, so she offered some suggestions in the hopes of being of some help.

Meng Xi felt a little uneasy. She liked cats herself and had one at home, but imagining a person as a cat was still quite difficult.

She turned around, looking at Ling Mengxue with a somewhat complicated expression, and smiled accommodatingly, "Brother Ling, don't be shy. Just bear with it, it'll pass. We must leave this place alive, just like you said before, at least we tried."

"Of course, you should take care of yourself first." Ling Mengxue chuckled, amused by the girl's sincere little eyes.

Then Meng Xi stopped hesitating, clenched her little fists, mustered her courage, and joined Ling Lexuan and the others in this "raising game".

Ling Mengxue watched silently from the side, feeling no less embarrassed than the others.

Everyone present was a woman, and she was the only "boy" there. Given the nature of this task, it was impossible for her to remain completely calm.

But what can we do?

Just grit your teeth and bear it.

We can't just let that Miss Ghost control us!

The morning hours feel both incredibly long and fleeting.

Ling Lexuan and her companions were focused on building good relationships with these young ladies, teasing and joking with them, and trying to win their favor and satisfy them both physically and mentally. Unless they were experts in love or massage masters, they would have had a hard time completing the task and would have ended up like wooden blocks.

Around noon, unexpectedly, each of Ling Mengxue and her friends had won over at least one cute girl, and they all nestled comfortably beside them like kittens or puppies, as if they were their own pets, creating a wonderfully warm and cozy feeling.

Ling Meng felt inexplicably annoyed, and with a wry smile, she patted the head of the girl she had finally managed to win over, feeling a strange unease in her heart.

In the past, having such a lovely girlfriend at home would have been the pinnacle of life, a paradise on earth.

Just imagine coming home from school every day to have such a lovely girl to play games with—wouldn't you wake up smiling in the middle of the night?

Although the thought briefly crossed her mind, Ling Mengxue reacted quickly and extinguished it.

Yes, that's very unethical.

Even though her body is female, she's certain that she's male at heart. From this perspective, it seems quite reasonable for a young person in the prime of their youth to have fantasies and aspirations about a better life, right?

After all, life needs dreams to feel fulfilling, right?

What kind of twisted logic is that?!

Ling Mengxue shook her head and silently waited in her seat, no longer letting her mind wander.

Chapter 104 So your name is Ling Mengxue?

"Hmph? You all did a good job with your tasks~"

Inside the garden room, everyone was resting when a slightly familiar, sweet voice suddenly rang out.

Without even thinking, Ling Mengxue and the others knew who had come.

Besides that arrogant Ghost Emperor, the owner of the manor, who else could appear and disappear mysteriously in this place?

"Not bad! I didn't expect you to have won over seven or eight girls in less than half the time. You've got a bit of my skill now!"

After saying that, Bai Yun reappeared in everyone's sight, and with a "thump," she sat down on the bed, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

And even with such lenient rules, hardly anyone actually tried or "forced" it on. She felt a little disappointed. With so many tools, only two people tried, they didn't even use the magic wand, and she didn't hear any of the cuties' moans. It felt a bit boring.

"Alright, since the task was completed ahead of schedule, I'll settle your accounts for today's work."

Bai Yun sighed softly, then smiled at everyone, "You are free to do as you please in your rooms this afternoon. There's a banquet set up downstairs; you can come down to eat later."

"As for the mission rewards, the rankings have been automatically analyzed... Hmm... Miss Meng Xi is in first place, she got a total of four kittens, that's amazing~ I hope you can keep up the good work tomorrow!"

"As for the other three... they're pretty good too, at least they've all managed to win over my pets~"

"Second place goes to Miss Ling Lexuan, who won over two girls. Miss Nan Muya and Miss Ling Mengxue are tied for third... Hmm?"

As the list of only four people was announced one by one on the panel, Bai Yun suddenly wondered if she was seeing things.

What are the names of the four girls?

Isn't there a man too?

There shouldn't be any mistake, right?

"Your name is Meng Xi, right?" Bai Yun looked at Meng Xi and asked in confusion. The latter nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Next is Ling Lexuan, no problem. Nan Muya is also fine.

When Bai Yun saw Ling Mengxue, she couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her mouth and chuckled, asking uncertainly, "Little brother, your name is... Ling Mengxue?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ling Lexuan and the other two turned to look at her, their eyes filled with doubt.

The name Ling Mengxue sounded vaguely familiar, but both Nan Muya and Ling Lexuan knew her real name was Ling Feng, so for a moment they were confused and couldn't help but wonder... had this girl changed her name?

Meng Xi remembered hearing this name last night, and felt the same way.

Don't Brother Ling's companions all call him Brother Feng or Brother Ling? Is there something wrong with that?

"Yes, my name is Ling Mengxue. Is that a big problem?"

Everyone was waiting for an answer, but unexpectedly, Ling Mengxue actually nodded in agreement, as if she were just stating a trivial matter and making a clean break.

Bai Yun, bored, crossed her long legs, rested her chin on the back of her hands, rolled her eyes, and laughed, "No problem, it's just that the young man is quite cute. He has a girl's name, is so handsome, and acts like a girl. And when doing the task, he didn't even choose the direct method. You're not... incapable, are you?"

"..."

Say that again if you dare!

Ling Mengxue felt a tightness in her chest, yet she couldn't refute it.

Some things shouldn't be exposed easily. Fortunately, Bai Yun didn't suspect anything, so it's better to be patient.

"Hmph, then I'll be going first. You can leave at 8 PM tonight, and the new mission will start again at 7 AM tomorrow morning, the rules remain the same." Bai Yun chuckled, jumped out of bed, and in the blink of an eye, floated to the door. Turning back again, she said, "Here's a little bonus for you all~ You can use anything in the bedroom as you like, the wardrobe and dressing table are all yours to play with, you can even cosplay if you want. The rewards have also been sent to your player storage space, you can check them yourself~"

Having said that, he vanished without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, feeling that the matter was far too outrageous.

In just one day, Ling Lexuan felt that things were somewhat unexpected. Weren't the national websites about terrifying and secret places all about those dark, oppressive, and eerie places like the end of the world?

They feed on humans, harbor deep hostility, and even engage in domestication, slaughter, and manipulation...

What terrible things haven't happened?

Therefore, unlike other secret realms, all terrifying places associated with the supernatural and the dark world have been designated as key observation and prevention areas by the Ninth Bureau.

Miss Ghost as "friendly" as the one you just encountered who would play games with you simply don't exist. If you were seen by other spirits on the street, they certainly wouldn't talk to you; any ghost that doesn't pounce on you is a no-go!

If I were to say even a single extra word to you, it would be disrespectful to the food!

Just then, a strange "cooing" sound came from inside.

Hearing the sound, Ling Mengxue looked over and saw Meng Xi clutching her stomach, looking a little embarrassed. She said shyly, "Sorry, Brother Ling, I was too reserved this morning and barely ate anything. Why don't we go downstairs to eat together?"

"Okay." Ling Mengxue nodded calmly, not paying much attention.

Her own Destiny Space was filled with snacks, fruits, and drinks, but although these things were delicious, she couldn't eat too much of them, as replacing regular meals would be bad for her health.

Of course, this excludes the "Spirit-Gathering Pill," which provides enough energy to sustain the body for a full ten days—it sounds like cultivating immortality! But that stuff has absolutely no taste. Unless absolutely necessary, wouldn't it be better to eat something delicious?

It can also satisfy my cravings, right?

Seeing that everyone had left, Ling Lexuan quickly grabbed Nan Muya's hands, pulling them out without giving in.

"Sister Muya, let's hurry! Miss Bai said she's prepared a feast; the food must be delicious!"

"Hmm." Nan Muya nodded absentmindedly, letting Ling Lexuan pull her along.

She's usually quite lively and mischievous, but whenever she has any contact with Ling Feng, she feels inexplicably guilty. Perhaps it's because she once wanted to teach him a lesson, and now she still feels remorseful!

As she descended the stairs, Ling Lexuan recalled what had just happened, pouted, and grumbled, "Sister Muya, don't you think what Miss Bai said in the room was strange? It just felt really odd. She called my cousin Ling Feng 'Ling Mengxue.' Could he have really changed his name?"

Nan Muya hesitated for a moment, then shook her head somewhat vaguely, "I don't know for sure, but the possibility of him changing his name is very low, especially to a girl's name. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so ruthless, so there might be some reason?"

After a moment of rational analysis, she continued, "And I feel like I've heard the name Ling Mengxue somewhere before, but I can't quite place it..."
