74. Illusion Heart God
Tao Yao's state was strange. Her expression seed to be reminiscing about sothing. As she rested on ng Lian's thighs, the corners of her eyes seed to glisten with tears.
What was this? It felt like a widow's moir.
ng Lian's legs had gone numb. She didn't dare move a muscle.
As expected, having a beautiful girl rest on your lap was only enjoyable for the one doing the resting. For the beautiful girl being used as a pillow, it was torture.
ng Lian sighed inwardly. She looked down at Tao Yao's small face. Well, she could only see half of it.
She didn't know how long Tao Yao planned to rest. Hopefully she wouldn't fall asleep.
Wait.
ng Lian faintly heard Tao Yao's even breathing. The corner of her mouth twitched.
You bastard, you actually fell asleep?!
……
Tao Yao was woken by a ringtone. She opened her eyes, sowhat displeased.
She had been having a wonderful dream. This ringtone was truly killing the mood.
When Tao Yao opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a beautifully curved woman, then ng Lian's expression of utter despair.
You're finally awake.
"How long was I asleep?"
"An hour."
ng Lian rubbed her now numb thighs, her small face resentful.
You slept comfortably, but I've been suffering here.
"Is that so? Haah. That was quite a good sleep."
Tao Yao sat up, yawned, and ignored ng Lian's resentful gaze. She picked up her phone and froze when she saw the incoming call.
"Sothing happened. Get to Return Star Port imdiately. Bring as many people as you can."
When she answered, a cold voice ca through. Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat.
"What happened? I'm alone right now. Where am I supposed to find people?"
"Can't explain over the phone. Just bring whoever you can. Get here now!"
Beep beep.
The call ended. Tao Yao was so frustrated she wanted to throw her phone onto the sofa.
The only person beside her was a golden-haired, big-chested beauty. Where was she supposed to find people?
Tao Yao looked at ng Lian, who was still rubbing her thighs and wondering where to go for dinner. Just then, she sensed an ill-intentioned gaze.
"What? I'm not playing tentacles with you."
ng Lian hurriedly hugged herself and shrank into the corner, looking at Tao Yao warily.
Tao Yao rolled her eyes beautifully. "What goes through that little head of yours all day? Co with first. I'll pay you ten thousand credits afterward."
"Where?"
Hearing ten thousand credits, ng Lian's eyes lit up, but she quickly grew alert again.
She rembered she was only worth ten thousand credits. Was Tao Yao finally showing her true colors?
"Return Star Port. It's a legitimate place. Maybe clear out so of the garbage in that brain of yours!"
……
Return Star Port was one of the major ports where the Witch Academy docked their spacecraft. Normally, cargo ships would depart from here tonight. But now, Return Star Port was bathed in red light. Alarms blared continuously. Fires raged everywhere, and explosions echoed without end.
By the ti Tao Yao brought ng Lian there, chaos had already erupted. Various cargo robots had begun attacking indiscriminately. Tir bombs seed to have been planted in warehouses throughout the area, sending pillars of fla into the sky at random intervals.
"Ye, I'm here. What exactly is going on?"
The ground was covered in firelight. Tao Yao took out a peach blossom-shaped tal badge. Under ng Lian's astonished gaze, the badge instantly expanded into a flying vehicle. Tao Yao carried ng Lian and Ye into the air, looking down at the devastation below with tightly knitted brows.
"They acted ahead of schedule."
Ye was a red-haired girl with golden highlights at the ends of her hair. She looked like a blazing fla, but her entire deanor was cold and detached, creating a strange contrast.
Ye glanced at ng Lian. Seeing this, Tao Yao quickly explained, "She's not on the list. Don't worry."
What list? And who were "they"?
ng Lian had an ominous feeling. She sensed she was overlooking sothing important.
"Good."
Ye nodded. She pointed in a direction, signaling Tao Yao to fly toward a certain warehouse.
This warehouse hadn't caught fire. Ye descended from the flying vehicle and walked inside.
"I've already checked here. No fire bombs."
The warehouse was stacked with cargo covered in white cloth, forming small mountains marked with numbers.
Batch 0523...
ng Lian looked around. Just then, Ye pulled out a folding table from sowhere, then produced a teapot and three cups.
"Biluochun. Try so. My family roasted it."
Ye always seed to wear the sa expression. Only when drinking tea did she reveal a hint of enjoynt.
"No way. Since they've already made their move, we should act too."
Tao Yao couldn't sit still, but Ye looked completely at ease, showing no sign of urgency.
"Tao Yao, don't panic. They moved early, but the big fish hasn't appeared yet. Anything we do now would be useless. Better to wait for the Dean's instructions before acting."
"Then why did you call here? And told to bring more people."
Tao Yao knew they could only wait and see, but seeing Ye leisurely sipping tea made her blood boil.
"I wasn't worried they might get desperate and co after . Having more people gives a sense of security."
Ye glanced at ng Lian, who was sitting properly beside her, a teasing look in her eyes.
"Your little girlfriend is quite easy on the eyes though. Not bad."
"She's not my girlfriend. Her na is ng Lian, a new Junior Sister. Be serious."
Tao Yao couldn't take it anymore and flicked Ye on the forehead.
"Senior, what exactly is happening right now?"
ng Lian watched the two of them bantering and finally couldn't help asking.
She had an intuition that sothing here definitely concerned her.
"This..."
Tao Yao froze. She looked at Ye, but Ye just shrugged.
"Why are you looking at ? You decide."
"Fine. You'll find out about sothing this big sooner or later."
Tao Yao thought for a mont, then turned to ng Lian. "Do you rember Chen Li from before?"
Chen Li?!
Hearing this unexpected na, ng Lian's pupils shrank. She never imagined this matter would be connected to her.
The unease in her heart grew rapidly. Tao Yao continued, "Chen Li is an undercover agent sent by the Galaxy Alliance. Not long ago, our undercover agents infiltrated the Alliance's upper ranks and stole a list of undercover agents within the witches. We planned to wait and watch, hoping to catch them all in one net. We didn't want to alert them prematurely. But unexpectedly, they acted ahead of schedule tonight. This chaos is probably their doing. They're trying to escape in the confusion."
Tao Yao looked at ng Lian's dazed expression, assuming she was just short-circuiting from the explosive information.
After all, ng Lian had just enrolled. How could she have encountered sothing like this before? Her reaction was understandable.
Tao Yao didn't think too much of it. Her tone suddenly grew excited.
"But since they decided to act early, that ans the big fish couldn't sit still either. Haha, finally ti to close the net. These past few days have been exhausting."
……
"Kill you? What do you an?"
In the private room, Zi Yan looked at Bai Wei, who was smiling at her, and her heart sank. The intuition of a Great Witch suddenly erupted.
At that mont, the Bai Wei across from her began to darken.
"Senior Sister, literally what it ans. Please kill later. This is my final request."
The words "Senior Sister" made Zi Yan's pupils contract. Then, Bai Wei's figure dissolved into points of white light, gradually fading away.
[Illusion. Third Stage] Illusion Heart God
"I knew your talent would reach Great Witch level. Illusion Heart God. Illusion Heart God. The only spell the teacher passed on to you, and you never abandoned it. You even fooled with it."
Zi Yan's voice trembled. She had already realized what had happened.
Ring ring ring!
A piercing alarm sounded throughout the Witch Academy. Everyone looked terrified, staring at the electronic devices throughout the campus flashing red, completely panicked.
This was a Level One Alert. It only triggered when the academy suffered an attack at the Great Witch level.
In the private room, Zi Yan sat frozen in place, listening to the blaring alarms all around her. She didn't move an inch.
Kill !
Bai Wei's voice exploded in her ears. Zi Yan raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination.
I won't let you die!
Purple light burst from Zi Yan's eyes. She grabbed a white thread from the air. The other end of the thread seed to be guiding her sowhere.
