Chapter 35: No Candy, Only Bunnies

　　In the afternoon, the heavy rain continued to pour, and a gray sedan stopped outside the hotel.

　　Though it was still dark, it was actually morning, and there weren’t many guests at the hotel. A clerk stood at the front desk, dozing off out of boredom.

　　Suddenly, she woke up with a start, her eyes vacant like a sleepwalker. Her hands moved mechanically as she took out a room card and placed it on the counter.

　　Yuan Xiaoling silently observed all this, feeling a bit panicked.

　　Previously, when they came to hotels, Bai Ling would only interfere with perception, skipping ID checks but still following the check-in process. But today, she directly took deep control, completely taking over someone else’s self-awareness.

　　A Fifth-tier mental invasion is terrifying for ordinary people.

　　The Blonde-haired Maiden climbed onto the bed herself, obediently taking off her socks, hoping that just enduring it would be enough and Bai Ling wouldn’t lose her mind and finish her off by accident.

　　She went berserk, high on something.

　　But Bai Ling just sat quietly by the bed.

　　”Do you still have any Dabeitù candies from last time?” she suddenly asked.

　　Yuan Xiaoling slightly hesitated, shaking her head: “No, I’ve already eaten them all.”

　　Then she didn’t dare to speak anymore.

　　The atmosphere in the room was quiet, while the rain poured heavily outside the window.

　　”Um,” Yuan Xiaoling couldn’t bear it anymore and cautiously asked, “Why did you suddenly start liking Dabeitù candies?”

　　”No, I don’t actually like them.”

　　Then why…

　　”Do you know, six months ago, after my family met with disaster, I was stranded in a desolate place, needing to drag myself for three days to reach somewhere with people,” Bai Ling slowly recounted, “At that time, I had nothing on me except for a few Dabeitù candies found in a backpack.”

　　”That’s, well, really fortunate,” Yuan Xiaoling blinked her eyes, “High sugar content, lots of energy.”

　　As soon as the words left her mouth, the Blonde-haired Maiden instantly regretted them. What was she saying? Responding with ‘fortunate’ to such a tragic experience—oh no, she was going to get it bad now.

　　But Bai Ling just gave a strange smile: “Yes, but they don’t fill you up at all, and they give you an empty sense of fullness. An empty stomach burns through their sugar and energy like fire. But I knew that if I didn’t eat them, I wouldn’t be able to leave that uninhabited area, so I had to take one bite… one bite… one bite…”

　　She spoke very calmly, but the content wasn’t so serene.

　　Yuan Xiaoling listened while making hmm sounds, letting out a sigh of relief inside. It seemed Bai Ling hadn’t lost her mind and also didn’t seem interested in doing anything extreme.

　　Wait a moment, if she wasn’t interested, even if things got heated up, it wouldn’t get too intense, right?

　　Then if, hypothetically speaking, using this initiative could exchange for immunity next time, wouldn’t the Weekly Task for next week be covered?

　　”So, at this moment, I want to experience it again,” Bai Ling’s voice slowly said, “Experience the feeling from back then.”

　　On the surface, it was half a year ago, but in reality, it was ten and a half years ago, long enough to almost forget.

　　Just at that moment, she suddenly felt two soft, large things hugging her arm.

　　”Um, Bai Ling, I don’t have Dabeitù candies,” Yuan Xiaoling cutely blinked her eyes, “But how about just Dabeitù?”

　　Bai Ling remained silent for a few seconds.

　　She didn’t expect Yuan Xiaoling to be so proactive at this moment, like a small surprise encountered in life, making her inexplicably happy. Since that was the case, might as well release today’s excess killing intent while she’s at it.

　　The White-haired Maiden suddenly reached out—

　　”Wait a second, let’s agree first. If I willingly offer this time, next time if I accidentally make you angry, can I cancel it out, okay?”

　　”Eh, eh eh eh, you haven’t said yes yet!”

　　”Can you just say yes or no? If not, please stop… Ah!”

　　It was too late. The Blonde-haired Maiden shed tears of regret.

　　Who doesn’t confirm a transaction before forcing a deal, huh? Waaah.

　　The little clerk on duty in the hallway suddenly heard strange noises from the neighboring room and leaned in to listen—

　　Gurgle gurgle, splash splash.

　　Emmm, did the window not close properly, allowing rain to come in? That needs to be closed quickly.

　　Taking out the administrator room card, she was about to open the door when her brain suddenly became hazy, and her body froze.

　　Strange, why am I here? Better go back.

　　As for those gurgling sounds, they’re probably from cats. Anyway, it’s not important.

　　…………

　　Half an hour later, the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the sun finally emerged from the clouds, filling the world with light.

　　The Blonde Busty Girl hugged a pillow, whimpering softly.

　　Bai Ling drank some water and sat back on the bed to look at her: “That’s enough.”

　　Crying for half an hour without using psychokinesis, purely manual work.

　　”You don’t understand,” Yuan Xiaoling was still whimpering, “It’s different this time.”

　　This time, she could have avoided mugwort altogether, not only enduring a beating but also failing to issue bonds successfully.

　　What should she do for next week’s Weekly Task?

　　Bai Ling didn’t pursue the matter. In her eyes, Yuan Xiaoling often acted this way, ever since the previous life—mysteriously happy or angry, but no matter what, it never caused any major issues.

　　”You did pretty well today,” she casually remarked, “I thought you’d be scared and hesitant to act.”

　　Due to preconceived notions from the previous life, Bai Ling assumed that even after awakening her spiritual power, Yuan Xiaoling would still be the same girl who only knows how to whine and laugh.

　　”What’s there to be afraid of.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling sniffed, thinking to herself, who’s looking down on whom? She’s someone who crawled back from hell.

　　The last few minutes of Lemon’s previous life were spent as a soul watching her own death from above—being run over by a truck for several meters, rolling around on the ground, bloodied and mangled, dying in a pitiful manner.

　　”If you’re not afraid, that’s good,” Bai Ling chuckled lightly, “There will be more cruel things ahead.”

　　Afterward… Should she continue digging into the local chamber of commerce? Yuan Xiaoling remembered the final task given by the Gray-clad Person.

　　The local chamber of commerce, obviously, even a female university student who loves surfing the internet knows, refers to the “Haitian Yise” Charity Foundation.

　　So it seems Yunhai Company’s dubbing invitation is something she’ll have to attend a few more times.

　　Yuan Xiaoling wanted to ask her what her next plan was—to return to the Zhang family villa, go back to the school dormitory, or find another place outside. However, seeing Bai Ling sitting there meditating with her eyes closed, she didn’t dare to disturb her.

　　Today Bai Ling had gone berserk, clearly not someone to mess with. It’s better not to ask unnecessary questions and try not to draw her attention to herself.

　　Yuan Xiaoling quietly stretched her arms and slipped into the covers.

　　Let’s review today’s battle. The system-provided skill set truly lived up to its reputation, being extremely useful. Due to elemental advantages and weather bonuses on the battlefield, it even showed a certain level of dominance in battles of the same tier.

　　Hundred Ling Transformations, god among gods, 100 points. Martyrdom Explosion, 99 points, minus one point for being too bloody. True Dragon Manifestation, the only failure, 0 points, possibly due to insufficient level. Let’s wait for future task rewards to enhance it; the future looks promising.

　　After quickly reviewing the battle log and evaluations in her mind, Yuan Xiaoling closed her eyes in satisfaction.

　　Bai Ling had completed the first phase of her revenge, and she had managed to complete the tasks of the villainess while staying alive. Everything was going well.
