Chapter 447

Ning Chu’s expression completely broke for a moment.

She could be called a pervert by anyone, but not by Lily!

This girl not only played with toys herself, had a tentacle fetish, and tried to evangelize her every single day, hoping to convert her into a fellow enthusiast—she had even been planning to buy a machine earlier on her phone as a “reward” for herself.

No matter how you looked at it, she was nowhere near as perverted as Lily, okay?!

At most, she just wrote a bit of smut and played around with her boyfriend a little, that was it!

So Ning Chu decided to speak with facts. She slapped her phone onto the table and opened the chat history she’d just had with Lily.

“You’ve got the nerve to saythattome!?”

Lily innocently pushed her own phone toward Ning Chu, as if the seasoned online degenerate had absolutely nothing to do with her.

“Forget it… then why don’t you just kill the octopus? Why keep it?”

“As long as you keep it, I’m just going to assume you’re using it as a toy.”

Lily rolled her eyes at Ning Chu. To clear herself of suspicion, she uncharacteristically delivered a long explanation:

“This is a completely new species. Where did it come from? What does it eat? How does it transform from juvenile to adult? Aren’t you curious? It’s full of unknowns, no one has ever studied it before.”

“And besides, I can protect myself now. I don’t need to worry about it doing anything to me. And there’s also that talking cat…”

“Oh~” Ning Chu nodded thoughtfully. “Stop making excuses. You really do want to use it as a toy.”

“……”

Lily had gone against her usual taciturn nature and explained so much, shehadto be guilty.

“I’m not that perverted…”

“Your tentacle toys at home are going to cry.”

Lily fell silent, lowered her head, and pulled the cup back into her arms.

“Whatever.” Ning Chu rested her chin on one hand while stirring her milk tea with the other. “Anyway, if something really does go wrong, you might actually be looking forward to it.”

“How could that be…”

That weak little voice—why did it sound kind of guilty?

Ning Chu looked up, trying to catch a telltale expression on Lily’s face, but Lily’s expression control was flawless as ever—still icy and aloof.

If people around them didn’t know about their conversation, they’d probably just think Lily was a cold, untouchable goddess.

“Hey, what do you look like after you transform?” Ning Chu’s eyes lit up as she scanned Lily up and down. “Transform later and let me see!”

“No.”

“You should get more practice~ What if there’s a real emergency someday and you don’t have time to transform?”

“I… next time.”

Ning Chu was already fantasizing about Lily’s combat outfit.

Lily’s figure was way better than Xi Xi’s flat board—she was even more voluptuous than Ning Chu herself. A C-cup, a slim waist, peachy hips, and a heart-shaped tail! If she wore a tight, semi-transparent black silk battle suit, you might even vaguely see silver patterns and her navel—it’s way too lewd!

“What are you guys chatting about? I just woke up and saw Lily send me the location, so I rushed right over!”

The milk tea shop door was pushed open as Yan Xinya came in, swaying her big tail.

Ning Chu was just about to speak when she saw Lily gently shake her head.

“Lily said she wants to buy a new toy.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lily lightly kicked her under the table.

Sothatcan’t be said either, huh?

Yan Xinya plopped down across from them, looked Lily over, noticed the faint flush on her face, pouted, and sighed dramatically:

“Lily doesn’t love me anymore~ She won’t even tell me things now~”

“With her personality, she even went to debate for your sake. Isn’t that loving you enough?”

“It’s not my fault I couldn’t get up!”

The wolf girl turned toward the counter. “Two fried chicken drumsticks! And a strawberry milk cap!”

She looked back at the two of them, her wolf ears twitching. “Why does Lily’s face look a bit red? What kind of spicy topic were you talking about? What toy?”

“When she actually buys it, you’ll know.”

“I’m not buying it. Just kidding.” Lily lowered her head and drank her milk tea.

“You really don’t love me anymore~”

She didn’t respond to that, only gazed out the window at the continuous drizzle of rain and said, “It’s spring.”

Ning Chu didn’t quite get it yet, but Yan Xinya’s face instantly flushed bright red, and she awkwardly squeezed her legs together.

“What’s wrong?”

Lily replied in a cheerful tone, “In spring and autumn, Xinya is more succubus than an actual succubus~”

“That’s not true~ It’s not as bad as you guys. It just lasts a bit longer.”

Only then did Ning Chu understand.

So it was that time—the season for animals to breed and mate. As a wolf girl, Yan Xinya would probably have an entire month-long heat period. That reallyismore intense than a succubus.

“Oh right, Lin Li has her heat during this time too, doesn't she?”

Lily nodded even more happily.

For about a month, she wouldn’t be the only pervert anymore~ Both of her roommates would be in it with her. Even if she got caught doing something, it wouldn’t bethatawkward.

“Then the girls’ dorm is going to be super lewd this month~”

In such a massive girls’ dorm, the ratio of beast girls was at least ten to one. Most of their heat periods happened in spring and autumn. During that time, if a man walked into the dorm, he’d probably have to be carried out toward the hospital due to a broken pelvis and dehydration.

“The dorm will be under lockdown for these two months,” Yan Xinya muttered. “Starting next week, you’ll need a student card to get in. Don’t forget.”

“Mm-hmm.”

The breeding season, huh… then wouldn’t Wen Yang become pretty dangerous too?

Those named beast girl side heroines from the book might all start having designs on Wen Yang.

Thinking about it that way, it made sense. During last semester—from September to November—Wen Yang kept running into overly eager heroines, triggering plot events left and right and got her completely worn out. Once winter came, those heroines showed up a lot less.

It seems that was a breeding season too.

“Ning Chu is definitely starting to worry about Wen Yang~” Yan Xinya saw right through her friend at a glance, smiling sweetly. “I just saw Wen Yang come out of the teaching building, looks like he’s heading to the cafeteria.”

“Not at all!”

Ning Chu gulped down the remaining half cup of milk tea in one go, then stared at the chicken leg she’d taken only two bites from, looking troubled. “Um… I can’t finish this…”

“I’ll eat it for you!”

“Yeah, I just suddenly remembered I’ve got something to do.”

She stood up, grabbed the small shoulder bag on the table, and hurried out of the milk tea shop. “I’m heading out first! We’ll chat online later!”

“Why are you in such a rush?”

“I’ve got stuff to do! Bye-bye!”

She jogged out of the milk tea shop and hurried toward the school gate.

As she ran, she kept an eye on the public restrooms along the way, just in case if something unexpected happened, she could duck inside to hide.

At the same time, she pulled out her phone and dialed Wen Yang.

“Hey! Where are you?”

“At the cafeteria buying food. I heard you’re at a milk tea shop off campus?”

“I’m coming to find you.”

“Why the rush? What happened?”

Yeah, whywasshe rushing so much?

Ning Chu slowed to a stop, shifting from a jog to a walk.

But just the thought of some bad woman sticking herself onto Wen Yang made her heart race with anxiety.
