Chapter 16
16. Why Am I Involved?
Sure enough, there was drama.
Seeing the message from Simp, Meng Lian's eyes lit up.
Little Skirt Hehehe: "Bro, isn't that a bit too..."
Simp: "Too what? What's wrong with me calling her disgusting? If you have a lot of debt, go work a part-time job. You'll pay it off eventually. Selling your body like this, what's the difference between that and being a courtesan?"
Kunkun: "Heh. Five percent daily interest. When would I ever finish paying that? Besides, this is my body. I can do whatever I want with it. What can you do about it?"
Kunkun: "At least I won't go to the slave army. I won't be sent to die on the front lines."
Kunkun: "Normal people succeed in transforming after three or four bottles. Some people can't succeed even after five. Maybe they should think about whether it's their own fault."
Kunkun: "Oh, other classmates, don't get me wrong. I'm just targeting someone specific. I'm talking about a certain dog. If I mentioned you, don't take it to heart. I'm sure you'll all succeed."
Simp: "You stinking whore! Don't get all passive-aggressive with me. You're the kind of thing that gets ridden by thousands, and you still have the nerve to mock others?"
Kunkun: "Ooh ooh ooh, getting mad?"
Kunkun: "I let people ride me. So what if I enjoy it? Besides, the ones riding me are all beautiful big sisters. You couldn't get a ride even if you wanted to."
Kunkun: "Useless trash who can't succeed after five bottles, still barking like a dog here? Let me guess. You're planning to take out another loan tomorrow so you can buy more bottles?"
Kunkun: "Haha. I'll say it plain. If you can't succeed after five bottles, which Senior Sister would dare lend to you? After all, if you get sent to the slave army, those Senior Sisters won't even recover their costs."
Simp: "You!"
Wow, that mouth was practically coated in poison.
Meng Lian was amazed. She hadn't expected Kunkun, who looked so pure, to be so skilled at being passive-aggressive.
This gossip was worth reading.
Meng Lian was suddenly wide awake.
At this point, a few more people joined the battlefield.
Little Skirt Hehehe: "Stop fighting. We're all classmates. There's no need for this."
Kunkun: "Classmates? Haha. Don't make me laugh. Someone who's about to become cannon fodder has no right to be our classmate."
I Don't Want to Wear a Skirt: "Classmate, isn't that statement a bit hurtful?"
Kunkun: "I'm just stating the truth. Whoever gets defensive proves I'm right. My Senior Sister said that in past years, people who couldn't succeed after five bottles probably have no hope. I'm already showing extreme restraint toward certain people. Certain people shouldn't provoke me."
Kunkun: "Besides, the Witch House isn't an illegal business. The Witch Academy allows it. Even in witch society, there's support for the Witch House. My advertising in the group is completely legal and within regulations."
That was true. Over the past few days, Meng Lian had learned about witch customs and found that witches were very open. Since they were a single-gender society, there weren't really any moral restrictions on such things. The witch government even provided various subsidies and benefits to actively support it.
After all, witch fertility rates were extremely low. Each egg-laying only produced one or two eggs, and not all of them survived. The witch government put enormous thought into this. They not only established the Witch Academy to absorb people from other races, but also heavily developed this industry. Even if someone actually got pregnant, the witch government would fully handle raising the child.
Thanks to the witches conquering every part of the universe outside the Milky Way, the resources the Witch Empire possessed were terrifying. Therefore, the social welfare in the Witch Empire was also extremely generous.
An ordinary witch with Witch Empire citizenship could apply to the government for a house when she wanted to get married after reaching adulthood. And note, this was any house of her choice in the colonies.
Even if an ordinary witch did nothing but slack off her entire life without working, she could still live very comfortably on social welfare. No, extremely comfortably.
The group had now descended into complete chaos, losing all the harmony from the beginning.
The group was mainly divided into two factions. One faction supported Simp. These people had very strong moral standards, but they were also mostly people who hadn't successfully transformed yet.
The other faction was Kunkun's side. These people had all successfully transformed and carried some debt to varying degrees. But without exception, they had all joined the Witch House.
These people kept posting photos of themselves with the Witch House in the group. This delighted Meng Lian. She kept scrolling through the photos, admiring these beautiful girls with their various styles, feasting her eyes.
She had to admit, witch aesthetics were truly impressive. Meng Lian still hadn't seen many average-looking ones. They were all fair-skinned, beautiful girls with curves in all the right places.
But then, Meng Lian suddenly came across her own photo. Her smile instantly froze.
Wait, we can joke around, but why am I involved?
She had been lurking in the group since joining, barely saying a word. How did this suddenly become about her?
Meng Lian exited the photo browsing mode. She wanted to see which little darling had posted her photo.
It turned out to be Simp. That simp had probably been provoked into a frenzy and was now biting people randomly. Meng Lian was just unlucky, an innocent bystander.
Simp: "And this one. You can tell at a glance she's also a stinking whore. Look at her side. She's not even wearing a bra, just walking around on the street. If she's not seducing people, what is she doing?"
Meng Lian: "?"
Who did she offend? The bra didn't fit her size, and there was nowhere to buy one. What was she supposed to do?
She was seducing people? Did she need to seduce anyone? If she wanted, all she had to do was crook her finger and plenty of people would...
Ahem, getting off track. But this simp had already bullied her to her face. Meng Lian couldn't just sit there and take it.
Lian: "I'd like to ask, what do you mean by me seducing people on the street? @Simp"
When Meng Lian spoke up, for some reason, the group suddenly went quiet.
"Holy crap, how did she get involved?"
Inside a Witch House, Kunkun saw that Meng Lian had finally shown her face. Her expression was filled with surprise.
What Meng Lian didn't know was that she had been a hot topic among the new students these past few days.
Suspected to be the first person to successfully transform, combined with rumors spreading that Meng Lian was someone who had passed the test at that souvenir shop, she had already become synonymous with genius in the minds of many new students. She had subtly gained the status of a leading figure among the new students.
And Kunkun knew even more inside information. According to her Senior Sister, Meng Lian had very likely already joined the Illusion Academy. And the Illusion Academy was ranked fourth in the Witch Academy.
Consider this. The Illusion Academy only had four people including their mentor. And the academy rankings were based purely on strength. A small academy with only four people was ranked fourth out of over a thousand academies. That prestige, that terrifying strength, spoke for itself.
So Kunkun knew very well in her heart that this golden-haired big sister was someone she couldn't afford to offend. An absolute big shot. Even if she wasn't one now, her Senior Sisters had truly earned their reputation through real combat.
Every year, the Witch Academy held an internal competition between academies that determined their rankings. Kunkun had heard from her Senior Sister that last year, the Illusion Academy had sent just one person. A black-haired, golden-eyed iceberg beauty Senior Sister. And she had single-handedly fought the Illusion Academy up to fourth place.
And that ruthless person was Meng Lian's Senior Sister. So Kunkun felt an inexplicable sense of awe toward Meng Lian.
Fortunately, the person who provoked Meng Lian wasn't her. It was that simp.
A gloating smile appeared on Kunkun's face. She stopped fighting and waited for the drama.
But Meng Lian had no idea that she was already regarded as a big shot among the new students. She was just confused. Why did everyone go silent the moment she spoke?
Was she lagging?
Meng Lian blinked in confusion.
Just then, Simp finally responded.
Simp: "Big shot, I was wrong!"
