Chapter 549: Chapter 307: Declaration of the Sisterhood, Wu Youqing Suspected of Jealousy (4K)

Qing University Library, seventh floor.

What should have been a quiet attic occupied only by a solitary girl was unexpectedly visited by an unanticipated guest.

Wu Youqing closed the hardcover book titled “Omniscience Paradox” in her hands and looked towards the elegant figure who had, at some point, taken a seat opposite her.

Her expression unchanged as if she had anticipated the other’s arrival, Youqing gently placed the book on the wooden table, stood up, and walked over to a cupboard to retrieve some tea-making equipment.

“Is black tea the only option?”

With her back to Otogirusu, Youqing asked with a tranquil voice.

Otogirusu’s excessively gorgeous face revealed a hint of a smile as she leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand on the table, and asked with curiosity:

“Didn’t I see a bottle of cola? ”

Youqing paused, her tone unchanged: “That was prepared for someone else.”

“Eh… is that so.” Otogirusu’s smile deepened.

“May I ask for whom it was prepared, Alliance Hierarch?”

As she placed the tea set on the table and started making the tea, Youqing spoke faintly:

“I don’t recall ever being an Alliance Hierarch.”

Otogirusu’s delicate and beautiful palm lightly caressed the book on the table and said:

“The Chosen Blessed Ones of the ‘Mercury Tree’ would cry at those words… you are their only hope for redemption.”

Youqing pushed the freshly brewed black tea towards Otogirusu and took a sip from her own cup, sighing:

“… If they really pin all their hopes on one individual, then they are doomed not to be redeemed.”

Otogirusu seemed to agree and nodded: “That’s true.”

She picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and her beautiful eyebrows rose slightly:

“Eh, this tea…”

Such a strange taste.

Could it be some kind of Youqing Tea?

Unaware that the woman with odd tastes before her had the same strange impression upon her first experience with the tea as Xue Jing did, Youqing said:

“If you have anything to discuss, speak now while you have the chance.”

Otogirusu… or rather, Suzuka.

It was Youqing’s first encounter with this woman; all she knew about her came from what Xue Jing had told her, and…

“I have been ordered to invite you to join us ‘Troublemakers’.”

Otogirusu started quietly.

Youqing did not speak.

Otogirusu continued: “That gentleman said, if you join, he has a way to resolve your problem.”

Youqing’s expression was unchanging, as she simply inquired:

“Does that man understand what exactly is with me?”

Otogirusu tilted her head: “One of the oldest three pillars from the Olden Days… the Crimson Mist, isn’t it?”

Youqing nodded and said: “I see, I refuse, please leave.”

Otogirusu was slightly startled and laughed: “That gentleman actually made a mistake… which is rare to see, aside from that one instance rumored decades ago, this is my first.”

Youqing shook her head: “He didn’t make a mistake, it’s just a simple lack of information.”

“Sending you was not truly with the expectation of success, but a mere probe.”

“Now, he has obtained the information he wanted from this probe.”

Otogirusu brushed the long hair in front of her with her fingers, annoyed: “These exchanges between you big figures are so hard to understand, what a hassle.”

“…Well, now that the official matter is done, let’s discuss some interesting personal affairs~”

“Youqing, how far have you and Xue Jun progressed?”

Otogirusu asked with a face full of curiosity.

Youqing hesitated for a moment, holding her tea cup.

“First base? Second base? Third base? Or… home run?”

Otogirusu stood up, leaning over the table with her palms, her beautiful face moving closer to Youqing with an inexplicable excitement.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Youqing turned her head away.

“Eh~ It’s quite simple, first base is holding hands, second base is kissing, third base is caressing, and home run is… you know, going as far as you can go.” Otogirusu explained enthusiastically, counting on her fingers from one to four as she spoke.

Youqing, holding her forehead, sighed: “It’s not that I don’t understand this… sometimes I really can’t grasp the thoughts of you young people.”

“As a country that emerged from the conservative Confucian cultural sphere of the Far East, can’t you be more reserved?”

“So, how far have you two gone?” Otogirusu slammed the table, pushing even closer.

“Why on earth would I tell you.” Youqing spoke irritably.

She couldn’t understand why this person, whom she was meeting for the first time, was asking such deeply private questions.

Otogirusu’s face showed realization: “Oh~ If it’s to an extent that can’t be said, then you definitely must have done something.”

Youqing: “…”

“Beyond first base… it seems there’s more.”

Youqing blandly said: “If there’s nothing else, please leave quickly.”

Otogirusu sat back down, resting her chin on her hands on the table, and said leisurely:

“I envy you, Youqing… with your lofty, fearless demeanor, you probably don’t have to do anything and that person would take the initiative to come to you.”

“However, no matter, I don’t plan to compete with you for that.”

Youqing frowned slightly: “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Otogirusu’s eyes gleamed as she said: “The best things are hardest to obtain, isn’t that interesting… I’ve decided.”

“Youqing, I want to become sisters with you.”

A question mark appeared on Youqing’s forehead.

“If we can’t be real sisters, then we’ll be ‘sworn sisters’.”

With that, Otogirusu stood up and walked out of the attic.

With a puzzled expression, Youqing watched Otogirusu leave:
