Chapter 104: Making a Decision Against Sister Bai
"Eh? We’re in just like that?"
My eyes widened in disbelief. But soon, a strange, stimulating scent wafted toward us.
It felt as though we were in a different dimension. The environment here was dim, resembling the sky at dusk; it seemed this space didn't take well to light from the outside world.
Moreover, the clamor inside formed a stark contrast to the bustle outside.
"Xiao Han, how... how did you do that?" Bai Yu looked at me in shock, then scanned our surroundings. She had no choice but to believe it—she really was inside! And she was here with Xiao Han!
"Um, Spirit Vision. Ehe~" I explained in a small voice.
"Tsk... I should have known. Xiao Han, we have to go back. This isn't a good place, really."
"Eh? We're going back already? Sister Bai, you definitely know what this place is, don't you? Won't you tell me?"
"I'll tell you once we're back. Hurry, Xiao Han, do you still know how to get out?"
"Um... would it be a problem if I said I didn't know?"
I asked tentatively. I glanced at the dead end behind us; since I could get in, getting out would naturally be no problem. But if I didn't explore this place, I would truly regret it!
Of course, if Sister Bai said it was dangerous, I would head back without hesitation.
But Sister Bai didn't say that, which meant safety was still guaranteed. After all, this was still the academy.
The reason I hadn't run off to see what was happening was that I wanted to see how Sister Bai would react, just in case.
"You! Sigh... Xiao Han, having too much curiosity really isn't a good thing. This place isn't exactly wholesome..."
However, when Bai Yu met my inquisitive, curious gaze, her heart softened. After a moment of internal struggle, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Seeing my expression, Bai Yu realized my stance. If she didn't speak up, we might really never leave this place.
The entrances and exits she knew didn't include this one. If she took Xiao Han through those other exits, Xiao Han would inevitably see the sights here anyway.
"Really?!"
"Yes. This place... remember when I briefly mentioned Sentiment Street to you?"
"Sentiment Street? Eh? This is it?"
My eyes went wide. I had heard of this place at least twice now. To think I’d stumbled into it today by mistake!
Immediately, a flush crept onto my face. After all, I had never been to a place like this in my past life, nor in this one!
The name "Sentiment Street" alone was enough to imply a great many things!
"Yes. So now you know, right? You are not allowed to come here in the future! Do you understand?"
"Um... I understand," I said, my face falling. After all, it was my own willfulness that brought us here, but I hadn't expected this kind of development!
"Good. Let's head back then." Seeing my submissive attitude, Bai Yu pointed toward the dead end behind me.
"Are... are we really going back just like that?" I asked, sounding a bit disappointed.
"Of course. Don't tell me you actually want to wander around? Careful, or I'll spank you right here!"
"Not even a quick look?"
"No."
"But I really don't know how to get back... Since Sister Bai is so familiar with this place, you must know another way back, right?"
At that moment, I steeled my heart. I pinched the hem of my clothes and made a decision that went against Sister Bai's wishes.
At worst, I’d just apologize and take the spanking when we got back, but this was a rare opportunity... I was truly curious about what a place like this was like in a Witch Academy. Would those senior sisters also be... hm... no, this was getting a bit too stimulating, and I was only thinking about it...
"A lying Xiao Han is not a good girl! Watch out, I might have to punish you when we get back!"
"I'm already a big girl! Besides, I'm a girl now. I don't have the equipment to commit a crime even if I wanted to!"
"That... those witches in the academy don't care if you're a girl or not. Their... cough, anyway, it has nothing to do with whether you're a boy!"
"So it's all girls inside?"
"Hmph! Of course. You won't find a single boy in the Witch Academy. You'd better be careful, or the senior sisters here will eat you up until there's nothing left but bone!"
"But... I have Sister Bai. Sister Bai, you'll protect me, right?"
I continued to push my luck. I felt like I was playing with fire a bit too much this time... maybe I should find an excuse to back down and just leave.
Today was the day I reunited with Sister Bai; it wouldn't be good to strain our relationship...
Sister Bai, please refuse me so I can use it as an excuse to leave...
I was already thinking about how to repent for this.
"Hmph, of course I'll protect you. I really can't do anything with you... Fine, since you want to see it so badly, I'll show you. If I don't let you see how treacherous this place is, who knows if you'll try to sneak in here on your own later!"
In the end, Sister Bai compromised. She gave in to my persistence and curiosity.
Rather than worrying about me obsessing over it later, it was better to take Xiao Han to see it now. She couldn't keep it a secret from her forever.
"Um... huh? Eh? Sister Bai, what did you just say?" My eyes widened. I was just about ready to turn back, and now she was willing to show me around?
Wasn't this turnaround a bit too fast?
"You can't back out now. Let's go. Honestly... I'll show you the other side of the academy. This is... Sentiment Street."
Bai Yu took my hand and led me out of the dead end. And then, I truly witnessed the scenery here.
Unlike the bustle outside, everything here was... stimulating. The senior sisters walking to and fro seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere.
They were dressed provocatively and acted with abandon. Along the street, one could see all sorts of seductive slogans, and enthusiastic senior sisters were teasing the young girls passing by.
This dizzying array of beautiful sights constantly stimulated my nerves. I felt as if my phantom limb was already standing at attention.
There seemed to be an unknown fragrance in the air that stirred my emotions, making my heart race.
Warm-toned lights added a touch of artificial passion to the already dim environment.
Many senior sisters passing by even ignored the cold-faced Bai Yu beside me, reaching out to tease me.
However, I dodged them all, while some were scared off by Bai Yu's threatening glares.
Only now did I personally experience the "passion" of this place, and what it meant to be "eaten until nothing but bone remained."
If I were walking here alone, I wouldn't even dream of leaving...
Perhaps there was no actual danger to my life, but this was the most dangerous place of all. One wrong move and I’d meet a miserable end here.
I quietly swallowed hard and leaned closer to Sister Bai's side.
Seeing my subconscious reaction, a hint of a smile played on Bai Yu's lips. She reached out and pulled me by the shoulder, as if trying to give me a sense of security.
"Seen how terrifying it is now? Do you still dare to come here next time?"
"Ah... that, I... I don't dare anymore."
This time, I truly didn't dare. Although I felt a sense of yearning, I felt that if I took that step, there would be no turning back.
I don't want to fall into total depravity!
Isn't it better to just be myself—quiet, peaceful, and pure?
