Chapter 16: Letting the Wolf into the House
Five days had passed since Isaiah was forced into the unequal agreement. Thanks to her presence, Ling Shuang hadn’t bothered Luo Yuxi recently, likely afraid of exposing her own identity. The thought of not waking up with aches and pains made Luo Yuxi look at Isaiah with a gentler gaze.
“Finally, I understand why those villains enjoy bullying others so much…”
Luo Yuxi walked into the main hall and saw Isaiah, the former Holy Knight of the Divine Punishment Army, cleaning the Goddess statue with a bucket. As Luo Yuxi approached to greet her, she accidentally kicked over the bucket, spilling dirty water all over the floor.
“I…”
“…”
Luo Yuxi was about to apologize, but Isaiah, like a princess subjected to unfair treatment, said nothing and simply knelt down, wiping the water with a cloth. Luo Yuxi felt a strange sense of guilt.
“I feel like the evil stepmother in a fairy tale…”
While Luo Yuxi felt guilty, Ling Shuang felt nothing of the sort. With the demeanor of a true villain, she approached from afar, noticing Isaiah cleaning the floor.
“Really, I told you to clean the Goddess statue, and you’re cleaning the floor…”
“I… I was cleaning the statue, but the bucket fell over…”
Before Isaiah could finish, Ling Shuang kicked over the newly refilled bucket, purely out of spite. Isaiah almost reacted, but remembered Ling Shuang held her secret.
“Heh, I don’t care if you were a Holy Knight, you’re just a maid now. How dare you argue with me…”
Ling Shuang lifted Isaiah’s chin with her foot, her eyes full of disdain. Isaiah, not daring to meet her gaze, covered her chest, looking wronged, a picture of humiliation.
“U-Understood… I’m sorry…”
“Alright, alright, Ling Shuang, isn’t this a bit too much…?”
Luo Yuxi tried to intervene. Although Isaiah had been arrogant before, bullying her like this felt wrong. Even though she looked intimidating in armor, she now seemed strangely cute in her maid outfit.
“What? You’re scolding me for her sake! Sob, as expected, everyone changes their mind eventually. It’s all your fault!”
Instead of heeding Luo Yuxi’s gentle rebuke, Ling Shuang stepped on Isaiah’s breast with her stocking-clad foot, creating a lewd indentation.
“It’s all because of you! You still have such unsightly things!”
“Enough! Ling Shuang!”
Luo Yuxi couldn’t ignore Ling Shuang’s bullying any longer. Initially, she had seen it as a small punishment for Isaiah’s arrogance, but five days had passed, and Ling Shuang’s behavior had only worsened.
“Tsk…”
“I only said to have Isaiah clean the church, there’s no need to…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the displeased Ling Shuang, afraid she might suddenly lash out. But with Isaiah present, Ling Shuang probably wouldn’t reveal her witch identity. So, facing Luo Yuxi’s explanation, Ling Shuang simply pouted and turned away.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I didn’t expect you to speak up for me after how I treated you…”
Isaiah looked at Luo Yuxi, who gently helped her up, a hint of affection blooming in her heart. Especially when Luo Yuxi’s pink hair brushed against her fingers, a strange feeling arose. Perhaps a little kindness in a difficult situation could spark unexpected feelings.
“Then please clean the church. Ling Shuang might act like that, but she’s a good person… probably…”
Luo Yuxi tried to defend Ling Shuang, hoping that if Isaiah ever discovered her witch identity, she would show mercy. As she spoke, she helped Isaiah straighten her clothes, unaware that Ling Shuang was watching from afar.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!”
Ling Shuang had originally intended to bring Isaiah in and exploit her, letting her experience the harshness of society. But when Isaiah took off her armor and put on the maid outfit, Ling Shuang regretted it. Isaiah wasn’t unattractive, her golden hair and eyelashes giving her a holy aura, and her body beneath the armor was… alluring. Compared to Ling Shuang’s own undeveloped body, she realized she had let the wolf into the house.
“Damn it! She’s even seducing Sister Yuxi! Such a shameless, big-breasted, air-headed woman!”
Ling Shuang was fuming, but she couldn’t act. Her treatment of Isaiah had been too obvious, even Luo Yuxi couldn’t stand it anymore. As she was still struggling with what to do, a delicate hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
“Oh my, isn’t this my dear little sister? What are you peeking at~?”
“!!!”
The sudden voice startled Ling Shuang, but she recognized it and replied coldly.
“I’m just Sister Yuxi’s sister. I have nothing to do with you…”
“Oh, don’t be so distant. We might become family one day~”
“Go to hell…”
Ling Shuang didn’t appreciate Alice’s attempt to get closer. She glared at her, telling her to stay away. She had no good feelings towards this woman who had taken advantage of her absence to sneak into her “home.” Alice, however, wasn’t offended by Ling Shuang’s hostility.
“Perhaps you have a bigger problem now. Maybe we can put our differences aside~”
Alice pointed towards Luo Yuxi and Isaiah behind the door. In just a short while, Isaiah had “sprained her ankle” and was now leaning against Luo Yuxi’s soft and ample bosom.
Crack!
Seeing this, Ling Shuang unconsciously tightened her grip, leaving deep marks on the door frame. Alice smiled meaningfully and leaned closer, gently stroking Ling Shuang’s blue hair.
“You like her too, right? Maybe we can cooperate. I only want to drink Luo Yuxi’s blood, that’s all~”
“Get lost…”
Ling Shuang glanced coldly at Isaiah and walked towards the second floor of the church, clearly rejecting Alice’s offer. Seeing Ling Shuang leave without agreeing, Alice simply opened her umbrella, glanced at the two in the main hall, sneered, and left the church.
