Chapter: Chapter 50
“Seriously, we agreed to clean up together, but I can’t see a soul.” Bai Ya said to herself, standing in the already tidied kitchen, looking unhappy. “That mean big sister.”
Su Qi, wearing an apron, gave an awkward yet polite smile. She really wanted to leave now. If Bai Ya’s sister came back, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to leave so easily.
She had originally planned to slip away after dinner, but she hadn’t expected Bai Ya to enthusiastically invite her to play at her house for a while longer.
Refuse? Bai Ya’s look, which seemed to say “If you don’t agree, I’ll cry for you to see,” was utterly unbearable for Su Qi.
To be precise, it was unbearable for Bai Ling, who was beside Su Qi.
Under her “sister’s” menacing gaze, Su Qi reluctantly agreed to Bai Ya’s request, tears welling up. She had already foreseen Bai Ya’s expression when she opened the door.
She had just sent people to search this little girl’s house during dinner, and now she, the mastermind, was being dragged to the scene of the crime. Wasn’t this walking into a trap?
Why send people to Bai Ya’s house? This question was easy to answer. During their first meeting, Su Qi saw Bai Ling reading a book.
Although she hadn’t seen the front of the book, and Bai Ling had immediately closed it after seeing her, Su Qi still felt a sense of familiarity.
That book was very similar to her target for coming to the human world this time, a book called “Research on Ancient Magic.”
Her plan was going smoothly. The elves and beastmen were too busy to interfere with her. But at the crucial moment, the book was snatched by someone else.
This made Su Qi furious, but what could she do? She could only send people to look for it.
The search lasted for several days. Not only Su Qi was looking for it, but the person she had made a deal with, the middleman, was also searching for the book.
However, Su Qi didn’t share information with them because she wanted to get it for free.
As long as she could find the book before those people, Su Qi wouldn’t have to pay. The price offered by the other party made Su Qi’s heart ache. If she could get the book without spending money, that would be even better.
So, as soon as she saw a book that looked similar at Bai Ling’s place, Su Qi immediately came up with a plan. She invited Bai Ya and her sister for dinner, and then sent her subordinates to search the place while the family was away.
However, she never expected Bai Ya to invite her to her house after dinner. This was a disaster.
As the slightly ajar door was pushed open, the three of them were met with a chaotic kitchen. In an instant, Su Qi sensed Bai Ling’s gaze.
This girl had become suspicious of Su Qi.
“Did a thief break in?!” Bai Ya hurriedly ran into the room, only to find that everywhere else except the kitchen was as it was before. “But why only the kitchen?”
Yes, why only the kitchen?
“I’m going downstairs. You guys tidy up first.” Bai Ling said and ran downstairs without looking back, leaving Bai Ya and Su Qi facing each other.
“Should we call the police?” Su Qi asked weakly.
Bai Ya shook her head in confusion. “It seems nothing is missing, so let’s forget it.”
This thief was truly strange. They had broken in, but only rummaged through the kitchen. Even if they only searched the kitchen, they didn’t take anything.
This made Bai Ya question the thief’s motive. It couldn’t be that they were just practicing in her house, right?
Now that everything was tidied up, but her sister didn’t seem to be coming back, Bai Ya apologized to Su Qi. “I’m sorry, Xiao Qi. I didn’t expect something like this to happen, and I’ve troubled you to help clean up.”
“It’s a small thing, don’t mention it.” Su Qi didn’t know how to respond. Had she brought this upon herself?
However, since everything was tidied up, she should hurry and leave.
“It’s getting late, maybe I should go home.”
“Huh? Is it that late?” Bai Ya looked at the clock on the wall and was surprised to find that it was almost ten o’clock. “It’s so late, it will be dangerous on the road.”
The security in the city center was quite good, but after it got dark, there were still some restless idlers in certain dark corners, waiting for prey.
Unfortunately, Bai Ya’s home was located in a relatively deserted area of the city center.
“It’s okay, I’m very strong.” Su Qi claimed to be strong, and those hooligans couldn’t bother her at all.
Unfortunately, her appearance couldn’t convince Bai Ya.
Su Qi was petite. Compared to Bai Ya, an average high school student, she was shorter and much thinner.
This reminded Bai Ya of Qian Qian sister downstairs. Su Qi and Su Qian Qian were very similar in terms of their figures, both petite and delicate, which made people like them.
“Why don’t you stay overnight at my house, Xiao Qi? It’s a rest day tomorrow anyway.” Bai Ya suggested. In her opinion, this was the best solution.
It seemed normal for girls to stay at a good friend’s house. Some girls in Bai Ya’s class would stay at each other’s homes.
This was even more common on weekends.
“It’s probably not good.” Su Qi waved her hands quickly. She really wanted to slip away before Bai Ling came back.
If she had to stay here for a night, she was afraid she wouldn’t see tomorrow’s sun.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I can sleep on the floor. It’s better than letting you go home alone.” Bai Ya took Su Qi’s hand and gently shook it. “What if something happens to you?”
“It won’t, I’m super strong.” Su Qi was still pulling. “I’m actually a superpower user.”
“Huh?” Bai Ya blinked. A superpower user?
Sister is a superpower user, Qian Qian sister is also a superpower user, and now Xiao Qi is also a superpower user. Is it that I’m the only useless one?
“Really?”
“Really, I’m not lying to you.”
“Then show me something, or I won’t believe you.” Bai Ya said to Su Qi.
Bai Ya believed her sister when she said that she and Qian Qian sister were superpower users, because that was the only explanation for why her sister was always busy; it explained why she could hear Qian Qian sister’s voice but couldn’t find her whereabouts.
But Bai Ya was unwilling to believe Su Qi’s claim of being a superpower user without any proof.
“That might not be good. My abilities are quite dangerous and not suitable for use in front of ordinary people.” Su Qi could only refuse. She didn’t have any superpowers. Demons could only use magic; superpowers were a human privilege.
“Hmph, then you just stay here obediently today.” Bai Ya crossed her arms and said to Su Qi very seriously, “Am I more dangerous than those bad people outside?”
