Chapter 93: Thank You for Your Hard Work, Mom Qin~
In the end, it was Carol and Suicune who helped Jiang Cha resolve the problem.
The 10,000 yuan fine was also paid by the rich lolita, Lina, and from then on she officially became one of Jiang Cha's creditors.
When Cha Bao woke up the next day, she endured the emptiness brought by the exhaustion of magic power and the headache caused by mental overload. Kneeling on the sofa, she drank the mental potion in small sips while listening to Mom Qin’s endless nagging.
Her whole body felt weak.
Both physically and mentally drained.
She had really made a huge mess this time. If it weren’t for Lina’s quick reaction and high-quality combat witch training, she might have been put in solitary confinement for seven days.
After all, many little witches who were still moving around outside the dormitory at night had been injured due to being caught off guard.
Although it was common for witches to get hurt, and it was not rare for companions to suddenly go berserk for various reasons, this was clearly the most serious incident that had occurred in Aislyn Magic Academy in the past six months.
If not for Carol’s intercession, and if it weren’t for Suicune’s identity as a guest sage, Jiang Cha would never have been let off so lightly by the security team.
"I know I was wrong. Next time I won’t try to learn knowledge beyond my ability just out of curiosity. Mom Qin, please forgive me."
Seeing that He Qin had been muttering for half an hour without any sign of stopping, the girl really couldn’t take it anymore. She could only clasp her hands together and sincerely apologize, begging for mercy.
Strictly speaking, she had brought this upon herself—or rather, she had been tricked by Mephisto.
Jiang Cha hadn’t expected Mephisto to so confidently show her a magic book containing such advanced theory. Although she saw the great sage’s signature, she was not mentally prepared.
Mephisto, on the other hand, never expected Jiang Cha to be so reckless.
You really dare to read any book!
That was the textbook written by the Great Undead Sage for her own daughter!
Little Violet was an undead witch. She was born with good compatibility and was less susceptible to infection when learning knowledge of the School of Undead. Her mother had also invested heavily in enhancing her mental strength.
Even so, Violet could only study a little each day, and it took her more than a year to finish learning all those high-level necromancy spells.
What were you thinking, Jiang Cha, that you dared to finish reading the whole book in one sitting!?
Fortunately, Jiang Cha’s innate magic and her identity as an awakened witch gave her extremely high mental strength and learning ability. Otherwise…
She might really have died on the spot.
It was lucky enough that she only suffered for a day or two.
“Lina…”
“Hmph! If you do this again next time, I won’t save you!”
Looking at the girl’s pitiful eyes begging for forgiveness, the new creditor—the arrogant golden-haired loli—snorted, turned her head away, and spoke angrily.
The previous two times had been forgivable, but this time Jiang Cha had really gone too far.
It was also the roommates’ fault for always forgetting that Jiang Cha was an awakened witch.
She had never received any orthodox witch education, and she had only been awake for less than five months. In witch society, she was like a child without common sense. Perhaps even little Violet, who was only eight or nine years old, understood better than her in this regard.
Because Jiang Cha lacked the natural awe of knowledge that witches usually had.
She was like a monster, endlessly thirsty for knowledge and never satisfied. She perfectly embodied the self-destructive tendencies of witches, walking a tightrope suspended above a cliff that could shatter at any time.
One moment of carelessness could lead to a fatal fall.
Of course, the greatest responsibility still lay with Master Myrtle.
What was the point of teaching only magic theory and not basic common sense?
“Okay, okay, there won’t be a next time! I promise.”
Although Lina was angry enough that she didn’t want to pay attention to this troublemaker who could get her into danger at any moment, Jiang Cha fortunately had rich experience dealing with girls—and an extremely beautiful face.
The black-haired, red-eyed girl wore a translucent black nightgown as thin as a cicada’s wing. Half-kneeling on the sofa, she revealed her two slender white legs, her little feet swinging slippers in the air.
She quietly wrapped her arms around Lina’s neck from behind, her soft voice pitiful as she pleaded:
“Baby Lina, if you’re angry, you can do anything to me, okay?”
Lina shuddered at her breath on her skin. Turning her head, she saw those wet eyes again—so irresistibly charming.
Her anger immediately subsided. She gritted her teeth, showing her sharp little canines, and said with a wicked smile:
“Just remember to pay me back! If you can’t, I’ll sell you to Annie. She can definitely pay it back for you.”
Jiang Cha: “…”
“I’ll pay you back when the dividends arrive next month!”
The girl pouted, pinching her own waist, her voice angry yet adorably sweet.
“Hehehe~ Chabao, my Chabao, how can you be so cute!”
Lina instantly laughed and reached out to rub the girl’s face.
Sure enough, in front of this shy loli, no matter how much trouble Jiang Cha caused, it could never outweigh her irresistible charm.
Of course, selling her to Annie was just an angry remark. Even though they were good sisters, Lina could never give away such a beautiful girl so early.
No matter what, she had to enjoy looking at her first!
“Enough!”
He Qin couldn’t bear to watch anymore and shouted. Just as she was about to say something, a fluffy white-haired ball suddenly jumped out.
Estelle looked at her eagerly, touching her belly: “When are you going to cook? I’m hungry, Mom Qin~”
“Well…”
Seeing this, the young mother could only sigh. She glanced at Jiang Cha and Lina, who were clinging together shamelessly, and got up helplessly to cook.
In this big family, only Lina gave her peace of mind in critical moments. The others—Jiang Cha and Estelle—looked well-behaved on the surface but caused trouble for her from time to time.
After all… this white-haired loli’s laboratory had suffered countless explosions, and the frequency was even higher than Jiang Cha’s mischief. The only difference was that the damage was never as serious as the trouble Jiang Cha caused.
Mom Qin, thank you for your hard work!
“This time the commotion was quite big, Jiang Cha.”
In the afternoon, when things had finally calmed down, Mephisto—already certain that Jiang Cha was the culprit of yesterday’s incident—was surprised to see her still show up on time.
“I heard even Teacher Diana and Teacher Vladimir were alarmed.”
“Senior, please stop laughing at me…”
The girl waved her hand with a bitter face.
Teacher Carol was easy to deal with. She was generous by nature, and since Jiang Cha was a student she liked, it was natural for her to protect her.
But this time, she had really owed Suicune another favor. Knowing that witch’s mischievous character, Jiang Cha could already imagine how much trouble she’d be in once the Monkey King returned.
“I was a little overconfident.”
“So? How much did you actually understand of that theory?”
Mephisto chuckled elegantly and shook her head. She didn’t tease too much—just asked with genuine curiosity.
“Probably… less than half.”
