My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 16
“Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm-hmm~”
Luluye happily skipped through the dimensional passage, humming to herself.
She was in an excellent mood.
Although she hadn’t had much time to tease the red-haired girl or little Xiao today…
She had escaped right under the nose of someone who looked incredibly capable.
She had even made a face at him before leaving.
Thinking about it made her grin.
“Next time I’ll prepare even better.”
“I need to improve my scouting.”
“Maybe I’ll catch both of them at once…”
“Hehe…”
Still lost in her fantasies, Luluye had no idea what was about to happen.
Then—
Crack…
Crack…
Craaack…
The strange sounds echoed behind her.
She instinctively turned around.
And froze.
Someone…
Was pulling open the dimensional rift…
With his bare hands.
Sun Du smiled brightly as he stepped through.
“Found you.”
Luluye: “W-What the heck?!”
The horrifying sight nearly scared the freshly eighteen-year-old girl out of her wits.
She collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Her mind couldn’t even process why tearing space apart hadn’t harmed him.
She only knew one thing.
She was terrified.
“D-Don’t come any closer!”
“Stay away!”
She frantically swung her little leather whip, hoping to stop him.
It accomplished absolutely nothing.
Sun Du casually grabbed the whip.
Then pulled it out of her hands.
Just like that…
She was completely disarmed.
“Waaah…”
“I know I was wrong…”
“P-Please don’t hit me…”
Completely overwhelmed, Luluye curled herself into a ball, covering her face as she sobbed.
It was an instinctive reaction.
As though making herself smaller would somehow make her safer.
“Wrong?”
Sun Du snorted softly.
“You don’t regret what you did.”
“You just don’t want to be punished.”
Holding the whip, he slowly walked toward her.
…
“They should be back soon…”
Lu Xiaoxiao wasn’t particularly surprised.
She already knew Sun Du could manipulate space.
A few nights earlier, he’d casually opened a dimensional rift to retrieve a game console from her home.
The only thing she hadn’t expected…
Was that he could tear open space with nothing but his hands.
Moments later—
The dimensional crack reopened.
Sun Du stepped out.
In his right hand…
Hung a tightly bound Luluye.
The little witch looked utterly miserable.
Her eyes were red from crying.
Tears and snot covered her face.
Sun Du hadn’t actually done anything to her besides tying her up…
Yet she looked as though she’d suffered an enormous injustice.
“Hahaha!”
Liu Nuanyu burst into laughter.
“She’s finally been caught!”
“That annoying brat!”
She rushed over excitedly and crouched in front of Luluye.
The two were now face to face.
Luluye glared fiercely.
Instead of backing down…
Liu Nuanyu copied Luluye’s usual smug expression.
“That’s the look!”
“Where’s your arrogance now?”
“Where’s all that confidence?”
“I’ve wanted to see this expression for ages!”
“So angry…”
“So unwilling…”
“And yet completely helpless!”
“Hehehehehe!”
Her refined, elegant image instantly disappeared.
She now looked exactly like a classic cartoon villain celebrating victory.
Luluye hissed furiously.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
“What are you staring at?!”
“I’ll bite you!”
“Hehehe!”
“Go ahead!”
“I’d like to see you try!”
Sun Du lifted Luluye slightly before speaking calmly.
“The person responsible has been caught.”
“Whatever grievances you have…”
“You may settle them now.”
With that, he removed Luluye’s leather whip.
Then used the very same thorny vines she’d relied upon to tie her securely to a nearby tree.
Since she enjoyed tying other people up…
She could experience it herself.
“There.”
“The rest is up to you.”
Sun Du handed the whip to Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Nuanyu.
Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated.
After lightly striking Luluye twice…
She quietly handed the whip to Liu Nuanyu.
Liu Nuanyu, however…
Had no intention of being so restrained.
Smack!
“Ahhh!”
Smack!
“Ahhh!”
Smack!
“You red-haired idiot!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
“Shout louder!”
Liu Nuanyu laughed triumphantly.
“I’ve waited for this day for so long!”
She repeatedly lashed Luluye while venting every bit of frustration that had built up over countless previous encounters.
Watching the scene…
Sun Du couldn’t help sighing.
“Girls really are scary…”
He suddenly remembered something from years ago.
He used to believe girls were like the ones in yuri novels.
No matter what happened…
As long as both of them were beautiful girls…
Everything could eventually be forgiven.
Reality…
Had taught him otherwise.
Sometimes…
Conflicts between women were even harder to resolve than conflicts between men.
He even remembered hearing about two sisters who’d once fought over a box of sanitary pads during a dangerous evacuation.
At the time…
He couldn’t understand why such a thing had escalated so badly.
Later…
He understood a little better.
Well…
Only a little.
Women’s disputes still remained one of life’s great mysteries to him.
The punishment lasted for quite a while.
During that time…
Lu Xiaoxiao quietly ate the lunch Sun Du had prepared.
Oddly enough…
Watching Liu Nuanyu vent her frustration actually improved her appetite.
Eventually…
Liu Nuanyu lowered the whip.
Not because she had forgiven Luluye.
But because she knew she couldn’t go too far.
If anything serious happened to Luluye…
The Witch Society would certainly come looking for answers.
Especially…
Her teacher.
Still…
Liu Nuanyu wasn’t particularly worried anymore.
After all…
If the sky really fell…
There was someone even stronger standing beside her.
If Luluye’s teacher came seeking revenge…
Sun Du would surely be able to handle it.
Without even realizing it…
Liu Nuanyu had begun to enjoy the feeling of having someone reliable protecting her.
A ridiculous thought suddenly crossed her mind.
“If I can’t compete with Xiao Mei…”
“Then maybe…”
“Should I just join Sun Du’s side?”
“That way…”
“Wouldn’t I get to spend even more time with Xiao Mei?”
The instant the idea appeared…
She violently shook her head.
“W-What am I thinking?!”
“Has my brain completely broken?!”
She looked toward Sun Du.
For the first time…
She noticed something strange.
His appearance wasn’t especially memorable.
People could easily overlook him in a crowd.
If they turned away…
They would almost immediately forget what he looked like.
The only reason she remembered him so clearly…
Was because she knew his name.
And because he was always beside Lu Xiaoxiao.
Sun Du didn’t seem surprised she’d noticed.
He simply didn’t care.
That little trick existed only to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
“Waaah…”
Luluye’s voice had become hoarse from crying.
“You all bullied me!”
“My teacher won’t let you get away with this!”
Sun Du merely looked at her calmly.
“Before complaining about your punishment…”
“Think carefully about why you’re being punished in the first place.”
He wasn’t worried in the slightest.
If Luluye really brought people back to make trouble…
Then they could settle everything together when the time came.
