Chapter 115

Chapter Seventeen: Off to Four Squares Academy

　　Yuan Xiaoling didn’t sleep well tonight.

　　She couldn’t fall asleep being bitten, but Ningning was so tired that she dozed off in a daze. But even sleeping didn’t save her because in her dreams, Bai Ling was tightly hugging her and munching away.

　　Bai Ling slept soundly; she had been prepared. If she were pulled into another dream, she wouldn’t easily interact with anything squishy. Moreover, as long as she didn’t deliberately relax her mind, the other party would find it hard to invade.

　　Her head rested on the fragrant, soft Dabeitù, listening to the faint moans of the Blonde Busty Girl, peacefully drifting into slumber.

　　Zzzzz

　　Another dawn greeted with fresh air.

　　That’s what the song says, but for Yuan Xiaoling, she felt no freshness at all. On the contrary, under Bai Ling’s subtle gaze, she felt a bit suffocated.

　　Was she about to settle accounts for last night’s incident of her head being smothered?

　　Ningning’s only hope now was for Ah Lan or Ting Ting to come over with some official business to report to her. But waiting and waiting until the sun climbed high, no one came knocking.

　　Yuan Xiaoling couldn’t help herself anymore.

　　”Last night was my idea to smother you,” she said with a pout, “now you can get your revenge!”

　　Finally, Bai Ling moved: “Why should I take revenge on you?”

　　”Because I… smothered your head.”

　　”I know, and I hope you do it again next time.”

　　What?

　　Yuan Xiaoling was shocked, her face turning red instantly: “Pervert!”

　　Then realizing this word wasn’t enough to describe Bai Ling, she added: “Freak!”

　　Bai Ling: “…”

　　It was lunchtime, and the hotel served some distinctive seafood meals, delivered to their room.

　　At the dining table, Bai Ling picked up a fork: “Let’s talk business.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling was just thinking what kind of business she could have with her, fearing it might be something inappropriate written on her thigh, when Bai Ling said:

　　”I’ve touched upon some information about Four Squares Academy from a year ago.”

　　”Really? When?”

　　”While sleeping… don’t look at me like that, it wasn’t a dream,” Bai Ling pointed to her head, “a contact between spirit and consciousness. Though the information is not much and incomplete, there are some clues.”

　　There are memories left by a few people, but no way to decode them yet.

　　Yuan Xiaoling pouted: “So we still don’t know anything.”

　　”Not entirely, if there’s something that could serve as a key…” Bai Ling took a bite of her spoon and said, “Do you have an appointment with them?”

　　Yuan Xiaoling nodded.

　　Li Li had previously invited her on behalf of the authorities. After consolidating the Spiritual Energy Manipulators of Tianhai City, they wanted her to visit and chat.

　　”Do you want to go?”

　　”Of course.”

　　After saying that, Yuan Xiaoling called Li Li after finishing her meal. The other side answered quickly, almost without delay.

　　”Hello, Miss Yuan?”

　　”It’s me. You must have already received the news, the territory is almost all consolidated,” Yuan Xiaoling got straight to the point, “we can meet and talk.”

　　Upon hearing this, Li Li was delighted: “The Tianhai City Countermeasures Office welcomes you. When will you…”

　　”This afternoon.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling replied while yawning, then suddenly remembered something and asked casually: “By the way, isn’t the location of your Countermeasures Office called Four Squares Academy?”

　　There was a moment of silence on the other end.

　　”Ah, this matter was mentioned to Miss Yuan before,” Li Li lowered her voice slightly, “it’s just an ordinary office now, nothing special or any clues.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling glanced at Bai Ling, the call on speaker so Bai Ling could hear too, but she showed no reaction.

　　”I see, let’s talk more when I arrive this afternoon.”

　　”Alright.”

　　After hanging up, Bai Ling spoke: “The clues I touched upon are from the spiritual and conscious level. Whether Four Squares Academy holds any clues… it’s hard to say.”

　　Places are dead, people are alive, but they are all material things. Clues from the spiritual level correspond in the material world—either through writings narrating the past or photographs carrying memories.

　　”Regardless, we’ll see when we get there.”

　　After Yuan Xiaoling finished speaking, she called Ah Lan and the others, saying she’d visit Four Squares Academy and chat with the Countermeasures Group this afternoon, and needed a Driver.

　　Afterward, she casually asked why no one came to see her today. Even reporting the progress of consolidating territories should have warranted a notification.

　　”Ting Ting planned to come, but I stopped her in time,” Ah Lan replied, “I thought since you just returned to the Beach Hotel last night, White Miss mentioned how long she’s been looking forward to it, and brought so many things, surely wanting to… enjoy it properly.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling twitched at the corner of her mouth: “Enjoy? Enjoy what?”

　　How did she not know what was so enjoyable in this hotel?

　　There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a greeting: “Xiao Ning.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling looked puzzled: “I’m here, why did you call me?”

　　Ah Lan didn’t say anything else.

　　After a while, Ningning seemed to understand.

　　Grass!

　　”I thought after enjoying, you’d definitely need rest, so I told Ting Ting not to disturb you two.”

　　”Thank you, Big Sister Lan, you’re really considerate.”

　　After hanging up, Yuan Xiaoling sat on the bed with a pout, wanting to be mad but couldn’t. Her subordinates truly had good intentions.

　　Could only sulk silently!

　　Seeing her expression, Bai Ling found it amusing: “What’s wrong with you?”

　　”Nothing, let’s pack up and get going!”

　　Saying ‘pack up’ sounded easy, but actually doing it required quite some effort. Mainly due to the mess left behind from last night—beds and carpets were in disarray.

　　”I’ll clean up these water stains,” Yuan Xiaoling assigned tasks, “you tidy up the clothes.”

　　Sounds like Bai Ling got the easier job, but in reality, the water stains disappeared quickly under the control of water elements, costing Yuan Xiaoling little effort.

　　”Am I done? Are you?”

　　”Not yet.”

　　Not yet? Yuan Xiaoling turned around and saw Bai Ling slowly picking up the string bikinis scattered everywhere. Some were even hung on hangers, so she had to search every corner of the room.

　　Watching her actions, Ningning became curious: “Pure Manual Operation? Why don’t you use telekinesis?”

　　”Because they smell nice.” Bai Ling replied calmly.

　　”…Pervert!”

　　In fact, it was just that she had been lying down for too long and wanted to stretch, using it as an excuse to scare Ningning.

　　Half an hour later, the car stopped at the hotel entrance. It was Ting Ting driving, as Ah Lan realized after hanging up that she might have done something unintentionally bad and didn’t dare to come.

　　”Ningning, the car is ready, we can set off.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling walked out with a pout, sitting at the back while Bai Ling followed closely behind.

　　”Let’s go, to Four Squares Academy.”
