Chapter 195: Good Boy, Take Action!
Due to the divine bloodline, little Oleni’s growth was completely different from that of an ordinary human.
Coupled with the healing potion Su Ning had previously fed him — which contained special powers — little Oleni rapidly matured and now appeared no different from a one-year-old toddler.
After Su Ning’s intense brainwashing…
Originally, her goal was to make little Oleni obedient, respectful, and admiring of her — her loyal little follower.
Who would have guessed she went too far?
The very first thing little Oleni blurted out was, “Ah… ah… papa!”
Su Ning’s smile instantly froze on her face.
She nearly fell apart right then and there.
Well, because she was in such a rush to brainwash him, Su Ning hadn’t undone her disguise — she was still in her male appearance. So it made sense that Oleni mistook her for a man.
But still — she never imagined the kid would call her dad.
“I’m still a proper maiden! How did I suddenly become someone’s father?!”
Little Oleni sat bare and pouty on the grass of the planting space, his soft golden-silver hair and adorable face making him look truly cute.
But for Su Ning — who was now emotionally shattered — the contrast was extreme.
One scene: an adorable one-year-old, clapping his hands and cheerfully calling out “Papa! Papa!”
The other: a person as stiff as stone, struck dumb like she’d been hit by lightning.
“No, no, I clearly brainwashed you to be my little brother! How did it become… this?!”
Su Ning ruffled her hair in frustration.
Then, she quickly removed her disguise and returned to her female appearance.
She thought this would make Oleni stop calling her that.
But Su Ning had underestimated the terrifying power of her [Little White Flower] title. As long as the other party was male, even a baby, the charm effect would activate.
Coupled with her skill [Mind Control], the brainwashing was just too effective.
She really hadn’t seen this outcome coming.
“What do I even do now?”
Su Ning looked at the still-memoryless Oleni, who continued calling her “papa” despite her now showing her real female form.
She couldn’t help but wonder:
“If he regains his memories… would he be so traumatized that he’d commit suicide and reincarnate again?”
Even so, Su Ning kind of wanted to laugh.
Her original plan was to brainwash him into being her loyal servant — but by a twist of fate, she ended up with a… good son?
Su Ning: …
On the other side, little Oleni, seeing that Su Ning wasn’t responding to his cries, suddenly pouted and began to bawl.
“Ahhhhhhh~!!”
Su Ning panicked:
“What do I do? I’ve never been a parent before!!”
Meanwhile, a few other entities watching the scene were stunned.
Honghong: “What is this little devil?! He actually has the master completely flustered!”
Youyou: “Still, the master’s power is supreme. She didn’t even lift a finger and already made the little devil cry. As expected of her!”
Jiangjiang: “I feel like it’s dangerous to keep spectating here. I’d better back off a bit.”
Su Ning had never tried to soothe a child before. She glanced over at Youyou, who was watching the drama unfold with a gloating face.
Su Ning narrowed her eyes.
Youyou: “I sense killing intent!!”
Su Ning picked up the naked little Oleni — and indeed, the child’s skin was soft as can be.
As soon as Su Ning lifted him up, little Oleni stopped crying and burst into a joyful smile.
His divine bloodline gave him a radiant glow, almost like he was gilded in golden light. His big eyes still had lingering tears in them.
Su Ning sighed and placed little Oleni onto Youyou’s back.
Youyou: “???”
“What’s going on? I’m being used as a babysitter? I’m still just a child myself!”
Su Ning: “Child? You’re a giant baby tiger, okay?”
With no better option, Su Ning accepted that she’d have to care for this child for now. After all, she couldn’t bring anyone out of the instance unless they had sworn loyalty to her, like Youyou and the others.
So, she’d just watch over him for a few days. Once the instance ended, little Oleni would disappear.
There was a survival instance rule: native characters couldn’t leave the instance world — unless they acknowledged the player as their master, like Youyou.
Thus, the day passed in this slightly chaotic new routine…
Meanwhile, while Su Ning was flustered by her new “good boy,” another player, Zheng Yaxian, was rapidly advancing through her own survival path.
Before entering the instance, Zheng Yaxian had also been rated S-class by the system, and thus was placed into a more dangerous scenario: [Witch Hunt].
However, compared to Su Ning, she was relatively lucky — she had landed in the capital city, the most prosperous part of the instance.
Her beauty didn’t make her a target of witch hunts right away. Instead, she used her charm to enter the royal palace.
But that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
The emperor was a pervert.
Even so, Zheng Yaxian was anxious.
“Where is that item? I only heard rumors that it’s somewhere in this instance… It seems my advantage from reincarnating isn’t absolute after all.”
She already knew: after the collapse of the system during the Endless Sea instance, the new system started assigning difficulty levels.
S-class players would enter extremely dangerous survival scenarios. And even more than that, she knew that future instances would no longer just contain players from her own world — players from parallel worlds would be entering as well.
“Becoming an S-class player and entering the Witch Hunt instance — it was all for that item with special effects: the Lucky Compass.”
In her past life, she had heard of a player named “Li Ming,” who had lived freely and luxuriously because of that item — even earning a seat as a game administrator.
“This time, that item will be mine!”
Even with that determination, the difficulty of the Witch Hunt instance exceeded her expectations.
Unlike the disaster-type instances that drained you physically and mentally, this one was deadly in its own right.
Zheng Yaxian was currently trapped in a castle-like cage, facing an extremely dangerous threat — the emperor.
He had a twisted fetish for collecting beautiful women as “trophies.”
Among his collections were even actual witches, the dangerous entities of the instance.
If he could capture witches, that meant he was no weakling.
He also had many powerful artifacts.
Zheng Yaxian came here for just one of those — but soon realized she had overestimated her own charm and control.
Her abilities might work on ordinary people, but they barely affected the powerful emperor.
“Tarot cards… Tarot cards… where are you? I must find you!”
She was preparing to act within the royal palace.
Time was tight — her only chance to move was during the emperor’s rest, when the beautiful women he’d captured had brief periods of freedom.
“It’s already the third day. Why haven’t I seen that other player yet?!”
Zheng Yaxian began to doubt whether she’d misremembered the intelligence from her past life.
But just as she was thinking this through, she heard chaos erupt outside.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened — Lord Oleni and the Venom Witch perished together!”
Zheng Yaxian, who had been preparing to make her move, immediately froze.
