Chapter 428
There was absolutely no strange buzz at all…
If a creature like a tentacle monster appeared on campus, it would definitely cause an uproar. Back when An An flirted with little boys in the teaching building at night, the forum had been flooded with posts about hauntings, and the school had even tried to invite “experts” to exorcise it.
Even though it ultimately ended with the female ghost becoming a counselor and the exorcism amounting to nothing, at least the teachers and students did react.
This time, however, everything was eerily calm.
“According to the one-sentence setup I used in the book, tentacle monsters are evil beings from another world that possess ordinary humans,” Ning Chu said, poking at the beef meatballs in her bowl while explaining things to Wen Yang beside her.
“As for the magical girl… her name is Xi Xi. Red hair, A-cup, twin ponytails. Her battle outfit is pretty lewd. That’s it.”
“You were really sloppy with the naming,” Wen Yang commented.
“Hey, at least I didn’t name you Yangyang or Wenwen!” She glared at him, then added in confusion, “When class ended earlier, I felt like someone was staring at me. It felt like it was her.”
Wen Yang took a sip of soup. “Why would she be staring at you?”
“Could it be that she’s actually looking for you? You are the protagonist, after all.” He shrugged. “Didn’t you say this arc has nothing to do with me? Maybe it’s because you took her umbrella.”
Ning Chu froze, then looked down at the folding umbrella by the table before reacting.
“How could that be? She’s not even in our class. This umbrella is probably Shaoqing’s or Wang Jie’s.”
“True. Then what’s she acting crazy for?”
“No idea… my head hurts.”
With a worried look, Ning Chu pushed her mala tang toward Wen Yang. “I can’t eat anymore.”
“You’ve only had a few bites.”
“I’m too annoyed. No appetite.”
Wen Yang pushed the bowl back in front of her and comforted her.
“No matter how big the problem is, eating comes first. If something really happens, I’ll handle it. What do you think I’m this big for? Don’t stress out.”
“No, it’s just… it’s too spicy. I ordered mild
spicy! It’s burning me to death!” “……”Since they couldn’t figure out what was going on yet, all they could do was wait.
Maybe she could take the initiative and talk to Xi Xi?
Ning Chu figured she’d go knock on the door across the hall tonight and look for that magical girl.
But judging from how things looked so far, that girl didn’t seem very friendly—otherwise she wouldn’t have tried to tail her.
What the hell! A magical girl not going to fight tentacle monsters, but instead stalking her, a harmless little succubus—what was that about?!
“After we eat, library? Or go back and change your shoes and socks?”
“The library, I guess… My socks are probably already steamed dry inside my shoes. Changing them now wouldn’t mean much anyway.”
Ning Chu muttered lifelessly. Then she suddenly felt a gaze from behind, quickly turned around, and saw a small black cat looking at her with innocent eyes.
That little patch of white fur on its forehead—it was Xi Xi’s cat. “Not even keeping the cat at home. Is she not afraid it’ll get lost?”
She muttered, then said, “Could it have snuck out? Wen Yang, should we catch it and send it back? Might even earn us that magical girl favor.”
If she really ran into a tentacle monster, maybe Xi Xi would save her.
“Doesn’t look like it snuck out. I’m done eating—do you want anything else?”
“Milk tea…”
After spending so much time with Lily and Yan Xinya, Ning Chu had gradually developed a taste for milk tea.
She used to prefer cola. She wasn’t sure which was healthier… but since she was already drinking milk tea and soda, talking about health at that point felt kind of pointless anyway.
Holding the warm cup, her hands felt much warmer. Ning Chu and Wen Yang headed into the library inside the teaching building.
And with just one glance, she spotted Lily inside the library.
This disgrace-to-all-succubi was, surprisingly, always diligent and eager to learn. Every few days she would come to the library, though most of the time she just wandered among the densely packed shelves.
“Lily~” Ning Chu jogged over, craning her neck to look at the book in Lily’s hands. “What are you reading now?”
“Academic material.”
Lily calmly closed the book, casually covering the front with her sleeve so the cover couldn’t be seen.
“Academic material?”
Even so, Ning Chu still caught a glimpse or two. For some reason, the wording felt oddly similar to the kind of smut she herself used to write…
“Let me see?”
“It’s really boring.”
“It’s fine, I’m just curious~”
Lily lifted her head and looked at Ning Chu’s wide, curiosity-filled eyes. A rare hint of color appeared on her normally cool face. Feeling a bit guilty, she glanced left and right, then checked on Wen Yang as he disappeared into the forest of bookshelves.
“Hm?”
She reached out, pulled Ning Chu down to sit, and scooted her chair closer, the two of them almost pressed together. The secretive way she was acting only made Ning Chu even more curious.
“What is it?”
Only then did Lily open the book, covering the front part with her hand as if hiding a precious treasure. Suppressing her excitement, she whispered, “Erotic literature!”
“???”
A deeper flush appeared on the succubus’s face. Hitting her area of expertise, she became far more talkative than usual.
“I noticed it last semester. The library has tons of hidden erotic novels!”
“I searched around on purpose and found so many. This is the eighth one!”
No wonder you’re always wandering around the shelves! So you were hunting for smut all along?!
And here I thought you were such a diligent, studious girl!
Ning Chu stared blankly at the bold wording in the book, a surge of intense emotions rising in her chest.
Embarrassment. Curiosity. Excitement…
Reading erotic novels with another succubus in a quiet, public place meant for studying—this was actually pretty thrilling!
No wonder so many adult comics liked to set their scenes in libraries. Ning Chu lowered her head, pressing forehead to forehead with Lily. “Is it good?”
“It’s good!”
“Wow~”
Wen Yang walked over with a book and sat across from them, glancing at the two girls with their heads pressed together, occasionally letting out soft gasps as they whispered about who-knew-what.
“What are you reading?”
Ning Chu immediately snapped her head up, shot him a wary glance, and then answered perfunctorily.
“Academic material.”
“You can even understand that?”
“Of course I can!”
Ning Chu replied righteously.
For a succubus, how could professional-grade erotic literature not count as academic material?!
Wen Yang scratched his head in confusion, but seeing Ning Chu and Lily seriously reading together and quietly discussing things from time to time, he actually felt a bit relieved.
After all, even when Ning Chu came to the library with him, she was usually either typing on her phone or straight-up sleeping on the desk.
Sure enough, having a studious friend really could spark learning motivation. No matter how much he urged Ning Chu to study seriously, she always found it annoying.
“Then read more,” he said.
“I know!”
Ning Chu answered casually, then lowered her voice and reminded Lily, “Don’t come to the library at night anymore. I’ll come with you at noon.”
“You mean that pervert you used to scare Xinya?”
“When did I ever scare her?! There is a pervert! Don’t take it lightly!”
She tried to give Lily a hint of what was going on—but then thought about it again. This girl seemed quite enthusiastic about Cthulhu-style tentacle themes. She even had all kinds of tentacle-shaped dildos at home…
If Lily heard about it, wouldn’t she be overjoyed instead?
