The Principal Who Asked Her Students for Advice Was a Scoundrel

"Waaaaah~ Shorekeeper, Piaozi bullied me~"

At this moment, Xiao Ling nestled in the arms of the Shorekeeper like a baby, crying loudly, as if she had suffered some great injustice.

Actually, he felt that calling her "Mom" might resonate with him more, since the Shorekeeper was indeed a woman who could become his mother.

But... if he really dared to do that, his own mother would probably come to punish him with a thunderous roar.

"Okay, okay, good girl, don't cry, don't cry~" This was the first time the Shorekeeper had dealt with this situation, and after a moment of mental searching, he found the most suitable response for the current situation.

The Rover, seeing the pig that had stolen his cabbage looking so aggrieved, almost ground his back teeth to powder.

She's the one who clearly needs comforting the most!

Do you understand that feeling?! Your beloved daughter, whom you raised, suddenly disappears overnight with the blond guy who's been plotting to kidnap her, and you wait from morning till night, then from night till morning, finally seeing your daughter return. And then the guy who kidnapped her comes along and says:

"Feng, is it safe to park the will-o'-the-wisp in front of your door?"

Of course, this is just a rather exaggerated statement, since Xiao Ling really can't be considered a yellow-haired person, but that doesn't stop the Rover from still gritting their teeth at his behavior of stealing their own cabbage.

She tried her best to prevent this lecherous man from getting involved with Little Ai, but she still couldn't stop him.

"But you, my partner, don't have any injuries at all?" Lupa asked, puzzled.

"Lupa, physical wounds can heal, but wounds of the heart are everlasting..." Xiao Ling crawled out of the Shorekeeper's embrace, her expression sorrowful. "I kindly took in Rover, yet she turned against me with swords..."

"It's clearly some lecherous scoundrel who couldn't control himself, not even sparing the girl he raised!" the Rover gritted his teeth. "I'm doing this on behalf of Heaven!"

"Nonsense! Aemeath is more than qualified to be my daughter's wife!" Xiao Ling said seriously.

"Not later?" Iuno looked at Hajiling with horror. "Blank, you gave your daughter...?"

"They probably only raised him for a period of time; there's no blood relation," Augusta said after a moment's thought. "However, it's quite... surprising to hear such a thing from Laureate."

"According to the laws of Rinascita, you, Righteous One, are fully qualified to be hanged now?" Cartethyia narrowed her eyes and sneered, trying to scare Xiao Ling.

"No... I want to live a few more years..." Xiao Ling shrank back, "I haven't even had the chance to enjoy the blessings of having two wives yet..."

?

"Fine! You actually want to play games with flowers!" The Rover, enraged for his beloved, immediately pinned Xiao Ling to the sofa, ready to give her another lecture. "Are you going to ask me to help you push it up in a few days?!"

"Actually, it's not impossible... as long as you're willing, Sister Piao."

"You big idiot! Take this punch!"

The other girls quickly made room for the two boisterous troublemakers, watching with amusement as they wrestled and entangled on the sofa.

"Ha..." Roccia rubbed her temples, "I'll go check on Little Ai and the others."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step and gracefully climbed the stairs.

Inside Aemeath's room.

Little Ai, facing Dania who was scrolling through her phone by her bedside, felt somewhat insecure.

Logically speaking, my actions should be considered sneaking away...

"Um, Xiao Ya, I..."

"No need to explain, I know better than you what you did." Dania waved her hand.

"Uh... no..."

"No need to apologize, I'm not that petty." Dania shook her head. "Arguing with us here will only put Ling in a difficult position. He's a man of both hearts, and he can't bring himself to favor one side."

"Besides, I've been carrying this load all by myself for so long, it's time for someone to come and help me share the burden."

"Indeed... I'm having a hard time managing on my own..." Aemeath agreed wholeheartedly.

To be honest, she was also surprised that Dania would be so magnanimous in this matter.

However, on the other hand, if their positions were reversed, she would probably also choose to give in for Xiao Ling's sake.

Most importantly, one-on-one combat simply cannot withstand Hajiling's overwhelming firepower.

Just as the two were having a friendly conversation, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door." Dania got up and opened the door, finding Principal Roccia standing behind it, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Principal? What brings you here?"

"I've come to check on the students' health." Roccia walked naturally to Little Ai's bedside and asked gently, "Aemeath, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Roccia ~" Aemeath replied with a sweet smile.

"It's good that you're alright."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Roccia her mouth as if to ask something, but hesitated and stopped herself, her cheeks flushing an unusual red.

Dania frowned, realizing things weren't so simple.

"Principal, please feel free to speak your mind. We'd be happy to help you solve any problems." Dania gave a playful smile.

"Well... it's nothing major, I just wanted to chat with you guys about... girly topics." Roccia's voice carried a rare hint of shyness.

What kind of situation is this... Usually, students come to her for advice, but now she has to ask her own students for advice.

Anyone who has seen Principal Roccia's PV knows that her approach to romance is very similar to that of a strategist in a university dormitory, always able to use a few practical tips to help her students firmly grasp the attention of their crushes.

But when it was her turn, this usually composed strategist easily lost her composure, especially since she had previously had an inexplicable argument with Xiao Ling.

"Oh~" Dania drawled out the last syllable, her tone rising slightly.

"Oh~" Aemeath with a playful expression, her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.

"Oh what?!" Roccia said, embarrassed and indignantly, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you all look like you know everything!"

"After all, I can't think of anything else that could make the principal so ashamed to ask questions, other than something related to that guy," Dania explained.

"I think so too," Aemeath nodded obediently. "So, Headmaster, please ask away. We'll answer as many questions as we can."

The two of them naturally had no objections. After all, they were now on the same side. If they could drag the principal down with them, their chances of winning against Xiao Ling would increase, and they wouldn't be completely at Xiao Ling's mercy.

So the three of them sat in Aemeath's room and started whispering secrets between girls.

When Roccia came out of the room, her cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed.

After hearing Little Ai and Yaya's description, her first reaction was that Xiao Ling was actually playing such tricks; even she, a mature woman, found it hard to believe.

In short, Xiao Ling is a complete lecher, the kind who will show his true colors when the time comes.

Shaking her head to physically erase the indescribable images from her mind, Roccia finally composed herself and returned to the living room.

Watching Hajiling, who had been beaten up again by the Rover and was now nestled in the arms of the Shorekeeper for comfort, Roccia suddenly sighed for no apparent reason.

Sister Yue... I just hope that when that time comes, you'll be able to forgive me...
