Chapter 680: Cold President and Weak Fox

Time goes back to early morning.

When the light of the fourth day just rose from the east, Audrey climbed out of the quilt early.

The little fox was actually so excited that she couldn't sleep until midnight. She didn't know what time she fell asleep in a daze, but this is not important. After all, for her who is only one step away from being a Grand Witch, there will definitely be no trouble of not having enough sleep and not having energy the next day.

"Yay, starting to shoot Magic Shadow today, so looking forward to it. I don't know what kind of role Senior Sister will arrange for me."

Audrey, while skillfully using the witch's life magic to wash and dress herself, shook her tail and looked forward to it.

And after washing and dressing, the little fox waited for a while in the room holding her tail. After all, it was too rude to knock on Senior Sister's door early in the morning.

It's just that, waiting for something you are looking forward to always makes people feel like a day, no, a second like a year. The more you look forward to it, the more urgent you are, the slower the time passes.

Within a few minutes, Audrey took out her watch from her fluffy big tail and looked at the time several times. As a result, every time she looked, only a few minutes had passed, and she collapsed into a little fox face.

And after waiting and waiting, waiting until the fox witch almost took a name for every hair on her tail, the time finally reached eight o'clock in the morning.

"Mm, it's about time. Senior Sister must have woken up. Charge, charge, charge!"

Audrey, who was timing with a stopwatch, put the watch back into her tail, then stood up abruptly, pulled open her room door, and went straight to Senior Sister's room not far away.

It's just that...

"Senior Sister, are you awake?"

The little fox knocked on Senior Sister's door carefully, and a response soon came from inside the door.

"Come in."

Audrey's fox ears moved upon hearing this.

Something is wrong. This is not Senior Sister's voice at all.

As a top performer who can sing and dance, the little fox was very sensitive to other people's voices. She immediately distinguished that the answer in the door at this time was not her own Senior Sister, but the President-sama's voice.

It's just that, why is the President-sama in Senior Sister's room so early?

Question marks appeared on the little fox's head.

Although at the beginning, because the President-sama was a black household on Yingzhou Island and it was inconvenient to appear, she had been living in Senior Sister's precious coffin. But since the demolition started a month ago, whether she was a black household or not was already a small problem, and President Sophie Liya could already move around on Yingzhou Island openly. The subsequent demolition work was also presided over by her.

And Lord Yae also arranged a room for President-sama.

But now...

Audrey thought she had come early enough to find Senior Sister, but she didn't expect someone to come even earlier.

Emmm... wait, is this really early? Or is it that the President-sama has been in this room all along...

Audrey thought of a possibility, and the pure little witch immediately blushed.

Wow, are Senior Sister and the President so bold?

It's also true, everyone is over sixteen years old and is no longer an underage little witch. Not to mention living together, even sleeping in the same bed is no problem at all.

Wow, so Senior Sister is already an adult?

Audrey, who was blushing, sighed a little in her heart, and her gossip heart was somewhat satisfied.

After all, it is reasonable for girls of this age to be interested in such stimulating topics.

It's just that it's a pity for her own sister. The little fox knew that her sister seemed to be a bit interested in Senior Sister, but no, sister, you are too slow. The President-sama has already succeeded.

The little fox felt a bit worried about her sister's love affair in her heart.

However, now the sister stuff can be put aside, and the Magic Shadow stuff is more important.

Audrey summoned her courage to push open the door, and then saw the Pure White Witch who was wearing pajamas and dressing up at the low table in the room.

Hiss... pajamas? Sure enough...

Seeing the President-sama's outfit, the little fox couldn't help but take a small breath. She felt that her previous speculation had indeed come true. Senior Sister and the President had really made a fake into a reality.

It's just that...

Where is my Senior Sister? Where did my big Senior Sister go?

Audrey's gaze looked at other places in the room, but she didn't see the figure she wanted to see most now.

"Stop looking, the eldest lady went out long ago."

And Sophie Liya, who had finished washing, also turned her gaze to this nine-tailed fox junior sister.

"Audrey, you are here to find the eldest lady to ask about the script, right?"

She asked as such.

"Mm-hmm."

The little fox nodded obediently.

Honestly, she had always been a bit afraid of this student council president.

Alright, with her severe social anxiety, she was actually afraid of everyone except her family and Senior Sister, but her fear of this President-sama was a bit different from others.

She was afraid of others entirely because of the talent of the Source of Desire. She could perceive the various filthy and dark thoughts of others about her, so she would naturally be a bit afraid.

But the President-sama actually had no interest in her beauty, and the little fox rarely sensed evil thoughts about herself from this President-sama, just like Senior Sister.

But even though they were both rare people who had no evil thoughts about her, Audrey felt closeness and peace when facing Senior Sister, but felt some tension and fear when facing this President-sama.

Even this fear of the President was greater than the social anxiety toward others.

The little fox actually didn't understand why she had this feeling. She also knew that she shouldn't treat Senior Sister and the President-sama differently, but there was no way. Sometimes people's perception of emotions really couldn't be controlled.

Although the talent of the Source of Desire brought Audrey lingering childhood shadows and caused her current predicament of not daring to see people, this talent was not entirely a side effect.

Being able to perceive other people's dark and filthy desires for her was indeed uncomfortable, but if you ignore those unbearable pictures and think from another angle, this is also a disguised mind-reading technique.

Succubi have always relied on the ability of the Source of Desire to hunt efficiently because mastering a person's desire is equivalent to mastering this person's weakness, and a person who exposes their weakness becomes easy to handle and not scary.

For succubi, the truly scary ones are those who

Such a person is either a saint or a dangerously abnormal person beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In Audrey's view, Senior Sister is the former; being with Senior Sister is like bathing in sunlight, full of warmth, but this President...

The Abyss—every time she sees this President, the little fox has the feeling that she is staring directly into the abyss.

Even though Lady Sophie Liya is an Angel Witch, Audrey always feels that this Angel President is more like a Demon Witch wearing an angel's coat.

Beneath that bright and holy appearance lies nothing but schemes and calculations.

In short, the President is just a very, very terrifying person.

In the past, whenever Audrey saw the President, Senior Sister was by her side, but now that Senior Sister is away, meeting this President alone is truly difficult for her to handle.

"Since Senior Sister isn't here, I'll wait for her to come back before I come again."

Just being stared at by the President's gaze makes the little fox tremble; she hurriedly maneuvers her puppet to say this.

"Wait."

Seeing the weak little fox preparing to slip away, Sophie Liya hurriedly spoke up to stop her.

To be fair, she isn't very good at dealing with this Junior Sister of her own Young Lady either.

It's not that she doesn't like her; who wouldn't like such a pure, kind, and beautiful child?

It's just that such people are sometimes like mirrors; the more one looks at them, the more one perceives one's own darkness and ugliness.

The Pure White Witch looked at her own reflection in the little fox's shining purple eyes; in her view, what was reflected in those eyes was not a flawless angel, but a fallen angel with pitch-black wings.

That is a side of Lucifer, and also her true nature.

Any perfect Student Council President is fake; lies and schemes are her mask, while cunning and selfishness are her true face.

Hmm, how ugly.

It's just that, if possible, who would want to become this ugly? Who wouldn't want to live an innocent, carefree life?

So, I really envy—no, I should say I am jealous of these innocent, good children.

Things I had to rack my brains to obtain, others are born with; things I couldn't get even after exhausting all my schemes, others can easily obtain. This fate is sometimes truly unfair.

As the favored daughter of fate, Sophie Liya sometimes cannot help but question her own source of power.

Yay, I'm finally not an outsider. I can also help Senior Sister and share the worries for everyone in the Witch Home.

If it were that fallen angel who once almost became the new Abyss Demon God, she would probably be ashamed into anger and loathe the mirror itself for reflecting her own ugliness.

But the Pure White Witch knows that it is not good children like Audrey who are wrong, but this world itself; therefore, she has no malice toward this Junior Sister of the Young Lady.

Or rather, because the Young Lady dotes on this Junior Sister quite a bit, Sophie Liya also tries her best to dote on her just the same.

It's just that, unlike the Young Lady who somewhat spoils the child, the Pure White Witch's doting is a bit more severe.

"You don't need to ask the Young Lady about the script; I will be responsible for your Magic Shadow script from now on. Do you have any objections to this?"

Sophie Liya asked.

Her tone was flat, and her face was expressionless; this is the Student Council President's work mode—strictly business.

However, Audrey, who had never entered the workplace, could not withstand the pressure of such a domineering CEO; the little fox was scared to death and didn't dare to have any objections.

"No, no, I completely trust Senior Sister's judgment. Since she handed the responsibility of the screenwriter to you, President, then there is definitely no problem."

The trembling Audrey shook her head like a rattle, and the fox puppet on her shoulder said this.

At this, the Pure White Witch frowned slightly.

This child is truly in need of tempering; flowers in a greenhouse are fragile—without experiencing wind and rain, how can one see a rainbow?

This little fox's family and the Young Lady have been too indulgent and doting toward her before.

Sophie Liya sighed in her heart.

If she were truly rotten mud that wanted to lie flat and couldn't be helped up, then she wouldn't say anything more, but this child longs for change in her heart; she just lacks the courage to step out of her comfort zone. At this time, someone needs to push her or force her.

It's just that such a role is destined not to be likable; it is possible she will be resented by this child, but it doesn't matter—she doesn't mind being the villain, anyway, this child is already afraid of her.

Looking at the little fox who was almost crying from fear and nervousness in front of her, the Pure White Witch smiled.

"I have already prepared the script. Do you want to know your upcoming scenes?"

She said this.

"Yes."

Audrey, who hadn't even dared to look at Sophie Liya a moment ago, immediately raised her head upon hearing this, and the puppet on her shoulder answered loudly.

Although the President is terrifying, her own good-for-nothing self is even more terrifying.

As soon as the little fox thought of the days when everyone had things to do, and only she could do nothing but stay home to watch the house, feeling out of place with the busy crowd, she immediately clenched her fists.

I cannot continue to escape and degenerate like this; I am also a member of the Witch Home, and I also want to be able to help Senior Sister and everyone, rather than truly being a mascot vase.

"Good, very spirited. As expected of the great demon of the chaotic world who dominates Heian-kyo, Tamamo-no-Mae, let's decide it happily like this: you will play the big villain in this Magic Shadow."

The Pure White Witch nodded and said this.

Audrey: "..."

Ah, this, what the heck? Great demon of the chaotic world? Me? Playing the big villain?

The President's last sentence had too much information; the little fox's brain crashed on the spot.

"No, no, President, this one thing I really can't do."

The little fox was so anxious she stood up directly; she no longer cared about her fear of the President, reached out to grab the little fox puppet on her shoulder, held it high in front of the President, and then maneuvered the puppet to say this.

"Oh? How so? Why not? You don't like playing the villain? Then how about you and the Young Lady swap? You play the protagonist, the Thousand-Man-Slayer Battousai?"

Sophie Liya also raised an eyebrow; she looked at the little fox in front of her with a half-smile and asked back.

"That's not it either, how could I play the protagonist? I just meant that I could just play a small supporting role; how could I play important roles like the protagonist or the villain? I..."

Audrey was even more anxious; although she wanted to take the first step back onto the big stage in this Magic Shadow filming, that was only a small step. Playing an unimportant small role would be fine, but jumping straight to a big villain or protagonist—this step was too big, and she really wasn't prepared.

If she messed up and ruined Senior Sister's affairs, what would she do? She wanted to help Senior Sister, not hinder her; this kind of thing she really couldn't do.

However, the little fox, anxious and at a loss, began to babble; the more panicked she was, the less she knew how to make herself clear.

And Sophie Liya on the other side had no intention of letting Audrey decline further; her expression turned gloomy.

"Miss Audrey, what do you think you are doing right now? Playing house? The filming of this Magic Shadow concerns the future of the Eastern Island's opening to the outside world; it is a major event related to the future construction of the entire territory. This is not a place for you to mess around."

The Pure White Witch unleashed the full pressure of a domineering CEO honed by years as Student Council President; she looked sharply at the little fox who was already stunned with fear and issued an ultimatum.

"The operation of the territory and the society is a very serious matter. This Magic Shadow filming plan was originally proposed by you, so is this your resolve now?"

"Miss Audrey, I will ask you one last time: yes or no? If yes, prepare to start acting; if no, then go back home obediently and be a society mascot. After all, you are one of the five elders of the Witch Home and have the resource channels of Venus City; even if you don't work, we won't treat you poorly when the time comes."

And on the other side, Audrey fell silent again.

The little witch, who had always lived under the protection of her family and Senior Sister, felt for the first time the cruelty and hardship of the adult witch world. In the adult world, there is no luxury of being picky; if you are unwilling to do something, there are plenty of people who want to.

After a long time, the little fox, with tears in her eyes, raised her head again.

"President, I can do it, I can."

Audrey is cheering up.

Wuwuwu, my little fox is going to become an adult.
