6: Everyone Must Ascend to Heaven Eventually
“Wait a moment, I have something to say.”
Seeing that she was about to be violated again, Yuan Xiaoning became anxious: “I didn’t do anything bad, why are you calling me a bad girl!”
Bai Ling raised an eyebrow: “You didn’t try to escape?”
“No!” Yuan Xiaoning’s little face tensed up.
She couldn’t admit it. Admitting would lead to punishment.
Bai Ling straightened up, showing a thoughtful expression.
I see, because she couldn’t walk out the door, she thinks she can just deny it. Even if there’s surveillance, she could say she was just walking in the corridor.
But it doesn’t matter. She might be able to deny that, but there’s another thing she can’t deny. As the caster, how could Bai Ling not know the capabilities of the mind lock? As long as Yuan Xiaoning tried to escape, she would definitely…
“You were alone at home,” she said, “You secretly (did that) by yourself, didn’t you?”
Yuan Xiaoning was shocked: “That counts too?”
No, how can you doing it to me be justified, but me doing it myself makes me a bad girl? How can you be so shameless…
“Of course it counts. And,” Bai Ling’s gaze was playful, “Are you cursing me in your heart?”
“…How could I?” Yuan Xiaoning smiled ingratiatingly, angry but not daring to speak out, “How would I dare curse you?”
After a slight pause, the blonde girl raised her little face again and said: “But even for that matter, I didn’t do it.”
Bet you didn’t expect that. She had already used her water control ability to clean up the traces. Her whole body was clean and hygienic.
Bai Ling narrowed her eyes.
“If that’s the case, let me inspect then, to see where your confidence in denying comes from.”
Then, Yuan Xiaoning saw her squat down in front of herself.
How strange, why squat down… Hiss!
“You, you, you, what are you doing?”
Yuan Xiaoning’s small mouth trembled into a wavy line.
“Just looking for evidence of your misbehavior,” Bai Ling said flatly, “It seems you did quite a few things in the less than half an hour before I came back. Tell me, did you hurriedly take a shower?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“It doesn’t matter, you’ll know soon enough.”
“Wuwuwu.”
Yuan Xiaoning shed tears of regret.
She recalled a day ago, on the pedestrian street under the sun, her confused soul floating above her own corpse, when that damned unlucky system asked her if she wanted to accept a deal.
It only said that being an antagonist lady could get rewards, but didn’t mention she would be punished.
It only said signing the contract could regain life, but didn’t say that sometimes people might feel worse than death.
At this moment, Yuan Xiaoning couldn’t help but wonder which outcome was worse.
Perhaps this wasn’t even a question, because the priest said, everyone must ascend to heaven eventually.
If she didn’t ascend yesterday in the car accident, then she would ascend today.
“Yiya!”
The blonde girl’s eyes rolled back.
She had reached heaven.

The weather in Tianhai City today was clear, approaching noon, with sunlight pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The bright coastal city sunlight made the crystal between the girl’s fingers dazzlingly brilliant.
Bai Ling was hesitating.
Strictly speaking, although she had suffered ten years of hardship in her past life, she had always leaned towards the righteous side until the final betrayal.
How did that saying go—light in the eyes, hope in the heart.
It wasn’t until her companion stabbed her in the lower back, followed by three days of desperate fighting, that the accumulated resentment exceeded the critical point and exploded completely. Only then did she feel herself becoming abnormal.
Disregarding life and morality, without any taboos.
But in the eyes of the world, only perverts would do such things…
Bai Ling raised a delicate eyebrow, suddenly realizing something.
Yes, did she still care about others’ opinions?
So Bai Ling hesitated no longer and directly… licked her finger.
The sweet and sour cool taste was like the lemonade sold in fruit tea shops during summer.
The girl’s gaze became serious.
“As expected… it’s the taste of spiritual energy.”
This was strange. In her past life, that blonde busty girl had no spiritual abilities. Even after ten years, she could at best be rated as Level 1, and that was being generous considering her large breasts.
But now, she already had the concentration of a Level 3, quite formidable. In her past life, it would have taken Bai Ling at least three or four years to reach this level.
Was it because her actions had caused a butterfly effect?
This made things a bit difficult. She had originally thought she was just a useful toy, give her a mind lock, and she could be kept captive in a dark room for life. But now that she had become a Level 3 spiritual ability user, it might not be so easy to keep her confined.
Buzz buzz buzz, her phone received a message. Bai Ling took it out and glanced at it. It was from the relative she was staying with.
[Aunt Huang: Xiao Ling, why didn’t you come home last night? Did you go out somewhere?]
Bai Ling gave a cold laugh.
They didn’t care at all last night, and now it’s already noon the next day when they suddenly remembered there was a relative staying at their home, putting on an act of concern.
She knew very well that Aunt Huang’s family took her in not out of kindness, but because they had taken over part of the Bai family’s business, and adopting her made it seem legitimate.
Later on, they had continuously provided her whereabouts to the forces trying to assassinate her.
A few flashes of red light passed through Bai Ling’s eyes, quickly dissipating.
No, she couldn’t kill them now. They were still useful and could be used to draw out the people behind the scenes.
But Bai Ling wasn’t very willing to go back and play their boring house game with them.
She had an idea.
In the bedroom, the blonde girl was lying face down on the bed, drooling from the corner of her mouth, making “aba aba” sounds.
This was called the pretend-to-be-stupid strategy, making Bai Ling think she was on the verge of collapse, that one more violation would turn her into an idiot.
After all, her ability was the Water Dragon King. All the water in her body had become clean and sweet lemon-flavored. She wasn’t afraid of being dirty. If provoked, she could just spray Bai Ling all over.
Uh, forget it, that’s a bit dangerous. Better spray the bed instead.
“Are you done? If you’re done, sit up.” Bai Ling’s voice sounded from behind.
Yuan Xiaoning’s little face tensed.
Impossible. How could she see through her act so quickly when she was pretending so well? She must be testing the waters, trying to trick me.
“Aba aba, aba ba…”
Bai Ling walked around to the side, found a clean spot on the bedsheet and sat down, saying softly: “If you keep pretending, I’ll assume you’re really stupid and dispose of you as waste.”
Yuan Xiaoning was slightly stunned and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth: “How will you dispose of me?”
Bai Ling smiled and raised her hand, making a throat-slitting gesture.
“…Then I’ll stop pretending.” Yuan Xiaoning silently shuddered.
So cruel, couldn’t she just abandon me?
But she still couldn’t understand: “How did you know I was pretending?”
“You didn’t go crazy last night,” Bai Ling looked at her with eyes that seemed to pity a fool, “How could you go crazy from just this little bit now?”
Compared to last night, today was light. Moreover, last night had the added vulnerability of being the first time.
Yuan Xiaoning’s little face reddened, but she still stubbornly argued: “It’s not necessarily so. What if this was the last straw that broke the camel’s back?”
Bai Ling’s smile faded as she said coldly: “You’ve awakened an elemental ability related to water and self-healing, right?”
“How do you know?” Yuan Xiaoning was stunned.
Bai Ling didn’t bother to answer.
Her own water being assimilated by her ability clearly indicated a power directly related to the water element. As for the self-healing ability…
Would she tell you that just now she had touched a barrier that shouldn’t still exist? Things like coatings had already been shed once last night.
“Let’s talk about something pleasant,” Bai Ling patted the bedsheet, “Do you want to leave this room?”
