Wang Yue didn’t care for the young girl’s blustering, her eyes searching the room as she asked, “I’m hungry. Where’s the food?”
“Give Ed back to me!”
“Fine, if you won’t say, I’ll just use my X-ray vision.”
The crow flew inside, scanning the cabinets. It found some cereal and nuts, while a basket held milk and eggs.
A fire crackled in the fireplace, keeping the room warm. Wang Yue shed her coat, leaving her in just a white shirt and her underwear, revealing a slender and well-proportioned figure.
“Those are my slippers!”
“I bought several pairs.” Wang Yue tried to slip into the girl’s slippers; they weren’t too tight.
“Don’t force them! You’ll break them! You’ll really break them! Once they’re stretched out, they’ll never go back!” Helen protested with a sob in her voice, yet she could only watch helplessly as her slippers were slowly stretched wide by the intruder’s feet.
Humming a tune, Wang Yue walked to the fireplace. She sliced a knob of butter and tossed it into the pan, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
“That’s my butter!” Helen protested, chasing after her.
“I bought it with my own money.”
“You’re illegally detaining me!”
“Then you’re free to leave. Just remember to get dressed first—don’t end up like the Azure of the Snowfields.”
Wang Yue turned back and pointed at Helen’s blue-and-white striped panties and her open pajamas, which revealed a large expanse of pale skin across her chest and belly.
Helen bit her lip hard, fuming with rage. However, she knew very well that if she left, she would freeze and starve, only to eventually be caught and brought back anyway.
The humiliation of being forced to live under someone else’s roof burned in her heart. She clenched her fists and swore a silent oath: I must become a proper adult as soon as possible!
Wang Yue used a spoon to cut a hole in a piece of toast, placed it in the pan, and cracked an egg into the center, frying it crisp in the butter.
“Those are my eggs!” the little girl shouted, her anger making her words stumble.
“Oh? So you can lay eggs? Well, you’d better lay one for me every day from now on, you hear? If you don’t produce any, I’ll spank that little bottom of yours.”
“Are you some kind of wicked rancher?! And I can’t lay eggs at all!”
“Then you should really reflect on your shortcomings.”
Wang Yue fried two slices of egg-in-a-hole toast and plated them. She heated the milk, pouring in the cereal and nuts. Suddenly, she reached for an exquisite glass jar containing a small portion of peeled pine nuts. They were plump and round, looking very appetizing.
Helen’s mouth fell open, but before she could scream “No!”, the pine nuts were already poured into the hot milk. Not a single one remained in the jar.
She trembled, taking a sharp breath. For two or three seconds, she was frozen in shock. Then, her face crumpled, and she wailed.
“I spent days peeling those pine nuts! Give them back! And give me Mr. Ed! Give everything back! You she-devil! I’ll fight you to the death! Waaah…“
She charged forward recklessly, prepared to go down with her enemy, only to be stopped by a single hand.
Wang Yue frowned slightly, genuinely puzzled. I’m eating food I bought in a house I’m renting; why is she being so mean to me?
“Stop acting up,” Wang Yue said with a scowl. “If you keep this up, I’ll get angry. I really will spank you.”
“You… you’d dare hit me? Mr. Ed won’t let you get away with it!” Helen said, her eyes bulging.
“Heh.” Wang Yue was amused. “He’d probably hold you by the waist just so I could get a better swing.”
“Liar! I won’t be intimidated by you!”
“I’m letting go now, so be careful not to trip.”
After her warning, Wang Yue released her. The little girl was still lunging forward and crashed straight into Wang Yue’s thigh. Her face throbbed with pain, yet she clung on tight, refusing to let go like a stubborn pest.
Wang Yue ignored the girl clinging to her leg like a baby koala and carried the food over to the coffee table.
This was a meal for two. She unzipped her backpack and lifted Prima out.
At the sight of the disabled girl, Helen gasped. It felt as if someone had peeled back her scalp and poured ice water over her brain. Her scalp felt tight and numb, her face turning pale with terror. Her pupils trembled, losing their shape.
This older sister… her hands and feet… were cut off by the she-devil… only stumps of flesh are left… and then… she was stuffed into a bag… kept as a pet…
Helen’s teeth wouldn’t stop chattering. It felt as if she had fallen into a pit of ice. Moreover, she realized one horrifying fact—she was currently hugging the thigh of this Maiming Maniac!
Eek—!
She wanted to let go, but her extreme fear had put her into a state of tonic immobility. Her body was stiff, causing her to actually hug the leg even tighter.
In the midst of her soul-crushing despair, she inexplicably noticed that the black-haired girl’s thigh was fair, soft, and round, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.
Let… let go…
If I don’t let go… I’m going to die…
Suddenly, a terrifying chill drifted down from above like snowflakes. The little girl looked up, trembling, and found the she-devil looking down at her!
Those beautiful eyes held a ghostly smile; that exquisite face was a demon’s mask. It looked as if she were about to cast a “limb-severing” witchcraft spell, turning Helen into a small, vaguely humanoid lump of flesh to be toyed with in her palm!
“Stop clinging to me. I told you Ed is busy. Go play by yourself.”
Wang Yue clicked her tongue and reached down to peel the girl off her leg. When her fingers drew near the girl’s collar, she felt Helen twitch with a convulsive shudder. As she lifted her, the girl shriveled into a ball, pale and shivering. Wang Yue found the sudden change in attitude baffling.
Ignoring it, Wang Yue set her aside and sat down to feed Prima.
She scooped a spoonful of milk and cereal, pursing her lips to blow it cool before offering it.
Prima felt like she was going to faint from happiness.
The feeling of being able to eat without moving was pure bliss. The sweetened milk was so fragrant, Classmate Wang Yue’s slender hands were so beautiful, and through the rising steam, those caring, soft, and beautiful eyes were just too… too…
Prima really wanted to scream about how happy she was, and then wriggle around like a little silkworm…
Helen watched from a distance, her pupils dilated and her body cold. At the same time, a wave of mournful pity welled up in her heart.
That poor girl… she’s smiling. She must be forced to by the she-devil. She’s smiling on the outside, but her heart must be crying. She’s already broken. How pitiful… how twisted… how tragic…
Prima swallowed each small bite eagerly, her eyes shining with delight. Shyly, she said, “You… you should drink some too…”
Wang Yue nodded gently, masking her exhaustion. She took small sips of the milk and began to eat her Bread.
Helen’s gaze landed on the black-haired girl, and a sudden chill raced up her spine. The she-devil… was devouring Bread!
How terrifying!
Is this some evil ritual? Is she imitating a demon feasting on humans?
Ah—!
She!
She’s drinking the milk!
Helen’s eyes widened. She watched as the black-haired girl’s tender lips sipped the white liquid. As she drank, the surface of the milk rose and fell like the tide stroking wet sand. A ring of milk stained her lips, making her look messy yet adorable.
The black-haired girl set the bowl down, her movements becoming sluggish. Her long, curled eyelashes slowly drooped as if conquered by drowsiness. Her small head nodded up and down, and a bit of milk escaped the corner of her mouth, trailing down in a long line. She had actually fallen asleep, looking… quite silly.
Seeing this, the softest part of Helen’s heart was pierced. Tiny currents of electricity raced through her chest, leaving her breathless and her heart tingling.
So… so cute…
How can a girl be this cute…
Ah!
Don’t fall for it!
She must be a legendary succubus!
Any human would be charmed by her!
It’s not my fault!
I definitely won’t fall for a she-devil!
Helen forced her eyes away and looked at Prima again. After studying her for a moment, she gripped the hem of her clothes and made a bold decision—she would steal the disabled girl!
Even a tiny heart of justice could shine brightly!
She would save this poor girl from the she-devil’s clutches! She would ensure the Monsters and Demons of the Witch Academy could never harm her again!
She had a genius plan. She would run far away—at least three blocks away to be safe! Then, she would hide in the restaurant’s warehouse, inside a large wooden apple barrel. She would survive on apples to evade the search parties until Mr. Ed arrived to defeat the she-devil…
