My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 15

“Sun…”

Lu Xiaoxiao had barely managed to call out when thorny vines shot up from behind and sealed her mouth shut.

Luluye crouched beside the shattered phone, staring at it curiously.

“Wasn’t this thing broken?”

“So why is a man’s voice coming out of it?”

She frowned.

“Or… is the voice coming from somewhere else?”

“Did you hide another communicator?”

Crackle…

A burst of static suddenly erupted from the broken phone.

Luluye jumped backward in alarm.

“W-What?!”

The broken screen flickered with strange light.

Something about it felt…

Very wrong.

“Hello?”

“Xiaoxiao?”

“Can you hear me?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Where are you?”

It was unmistakably Sun Du’s voice.

And this time, Luluye was absolutely certain—

It was coming from the shattered phone itself.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

Lu Xiaoxiao struggled desperately, unable to speak through the vines wrapped around her mouth.

Nearby, Liu Nuanyu was in the same miserable condition, completely bound after exhausting all her strength.

Luluye ignored them.

Her entire attention was fixed on the phone.

Black casing.

About three inches wide.

Nothing special.

Then…

Why?

Boom!

Thunder exploded across the sky.

Luluye instinctively looked upward.

The once-clear heavens had vanished beneath dense storm clouds.

Dark clouds rolled in from every direction at astonishing speed.

“Hmm…”

“It seems you’ve gotten yourselves into trouble.”

“Is it that witch from the Teasing Witch Society you mentioned before?”

Sun Du’s calm voice continued from the phone.

The next instant—

Rain poured from the heavens.

A torrential downpour instantly extinguished the flames surrounding the giant lizard-like evil creature approaching Lu Xiaoxiao.

Even stranger…

Not a single drop landed on Lu Xiaoxiao or Liu Nuanyu.

The rain deliberately curved around them.

Meanwhile…

The black thorny vines rapidly withered beneath the rainfall.

They softened…

Collapsed…

And snapped apart with ease.

The remaining evil creatures fared even worse.

Rain surrounded every one of them.

No matter how desperately they struggled…

Their movements became slower…

Weaker…

Until they finally collapsed onto the ground.

Only the faint movement of their breathing proved they were still alive.

Luluye quickly activated her magic to repel the rain surrounding her.

At the same time, her hand quietly reached the small sachet hanging from her waist.

Inside was her greatest trump card.

A magical artifact crafted by her teacher.

It allowed her to tear open space itself and escape.

It was precisely because of this treasure that she had repeatedly toyed with Liu Nuanyu and escaped every pursuit.

As long as the artifact remained…

Nobody could catch her.

Quietly…

She began activating it.

It required a little time.

She only needed to stall.

Meanwhile…

The shattered phone floated into the air.

Its scattered pieces reassembled themselves like building blocks until it looked completely intact again.

The screen flickered with snowy interference.

Then…

Sun Du’s face appeared.

“Little girl.”

“How about this?”

“If you promise never to cause trouble again…”

“I’ll let this matter end here.”

Luluye instinctively stepped backward.

Cold sweat trickled down her face.

Still…

Her arrogant smile remained.

After all…

Her escape was almost ready.

As long as Sun Du couldn’t stop her before then…

She had already won.

“Really?”

She smirked.

“What if I simply change my mind after I leave?”

“Then…”

Sun Du answered calmly,

“I’ll come find you myself.”

“Oh?”

“Anyone can make empty threats—”

She stopped mid-sentence.

Someone…

Was approaching.

Through the rain.

The heavy curtain of water seemed to split apart before him.

The mist avoided his footsteps.

Sun Du walked slowly toward them.

Not fast.

Not hurried.

Yet Luluye unconsciously took another step backward.

“It’s fine…”

“He can’t catch me in time…”

She forced herself to stay calm.

Then Sun Du asked quietly,

“Why do you keep bullying them?”

Luluye shrugged.

“Because it’s fun.”

“Magical girls were once the heroes I admired.”

“But they’re too rigid.”

“Too inflexible.”

“I suppose…”

“You could call it a disappointed fan teasing her idols.”

While speaking…

She secretly observed Sun Du.

He looked completely ordinary.

Almost disappointingly so.

Yet…

Her instincts screamed otherwise.

Even her Dark Raven hadn’t noticed him approaching.

At the same time…

Sun Du was quietly studying her as well.

A mischievous little devil.

Trying desperately to appear mature.

Another troublesome girl.

Why did Xiaoxiao always attract women like this?

After a moment, Sun Du sighed.

“So that’s your reason.”

“Attacking magical girls.”

“Provoking the defense forces.”

“Those are serious crimes.”

He slowly extended his hand.

“But…”

“I think you still have time to change.”

“Come with me.”

“I can still protect you.”

“Otherwise…”

“Things won’t remain this gentle.”

Luluye looked at his outstretched hand.

Then snorted dismissively.

At that exact moment—

Her artifact activated.

Crack!

Space itself shattered behind her like broken glass.

A narrow rift appeared.

Beyond it…

The stars of the Milky Way shimmered.

Ripples spread across the spatial tunnel.

Her escape route had opened.

“Hahaha!”

“No one can catch Lady Luluye!”

She leaped backward into the dimensional passage.

At the same time, she unleashed countless masses of black shadow toward Sun Du.

Sun Du casually waved his hand.

Every shadow dispersed instantly.

Meanwhile…

The spatial rift began closing.

“Commander Sun!”

“She’s escaping!”

Liu Nuanyu shouted anxiously.

She couldn’t understand why Sun Du remained completely calm.

He didn’t look worried at all.

Had he…

Given up?

Panic filled her heart.

“Are you angry because of me?”

“I’m sorry!”

“I was wrong!”

“Please!”

“Catch her!”

“It’s too late!”

Luluye laughed triumphantly.

The dimensional crack had already narrowed to barely twenty centimeters.

No human could possibly squeeze through such a tiny opening.

Attempting to force entry while it closed would mean being crushed apart by collapsing space itself.

She had absolute confidence.

Victory…

Was hers.

At the final moment…

She couldn’t resist sticking out her tongue.

“Goodbye, useless big brother!”

“You’ll never catch me!”

“Hehehe~”

She made a mocking face before turning around and walking deeper into the spatial passage.

The crack shrank further.

Now…

It was narrower than a fist.

Then…

Narrower than two fingers.

“It’s over…”

Liu Nuanyu let out a disappointed sigh.

Even though they had been rescued…

Luluye had escaped again.

Still…

She didn’t blame Sun Du.

On the contrary.

She felt grateful.

Without him…

Today’s humiliation would have been far worse.

“Running away?”

Sun Du snorted.

“Hmph.”

He casually walked over to the nearly closed dimensional crack.

Without hesitation…

He slipped his right hand into the gap, now barely wider than two fingers.

Then…

He pushed.

The shrinking crack stopped.

It actually widened slightly.

Sun Du inserted his left hand as well.

Grabbing both sides of space itself—

He pulled.

Crack.

Crack.

Craaack.

The sounds of reality splitting echoed through the forest.

Right before everyone’s horrified eyes…

Sun Du forcibly tore the collapsing dimensional rift back open with his bare hands.
