My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 26
In the end, a thoroughly defeated Benda was obediently tied up by Sun Du.
This overwhelming display of “persuading others through virtue” left not only the soldiers speechless, but also terrified Ayramirong and Luluye. Both of them were now genuinely afraid that Sun Du might one day decide to use one of his bizarre “rehabilitation methods” on them.
Fortunately, Sun Du had no such intention.
In his eyes, punishment should fit the individual.
Benda enjoyed hearing people scream and delighted in tormenting others.
So Sun Du simply let him experience what it felt like to be on the receiving end until he was the one crying out in misery.
That was all.
Afterward, Sun Du untied Ayramirong and Luluye.
The teacher and student stared at him in disbelief.
Seeing their expressions, Sun Du sighed.
“We came here to release you.”
“Not to keep you locked up.”
“Just remember one thing.”
“Don’t go around doing bad things anymore.”
The two women nodded repeatedly.
Only after walking dozens of meters away did they finally believe he had truly let them go.
The moment that realization sank in, Luluye burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
“We’re free!”
“We’re finally free!”
“The air of freedom smells wonderful!”
She ran around happily, completely forgetting that her teacher was walking beside her.
Suddenly—
A warm hand landed gently on her head.
Luluye froze.
A familiar chill ran down her spine.
“My dear student…”
Ayramirong smiled sweetly.
“Have you forgotten…”
“…how you mocked your teacher?”
“…”
Luluye’s smile instantly disappeared.
Knowing there was no escape, she immediately surrendered.
“Waaah…”
“Teacher…”
“I know I was wrong!”
“I’ll never do it again!”
“Oh?”
“You still plan on doing it again?”
“No!”
“Never!”
“I swear!”
She even squeezed out a few tears with remarkable skill.
After lightly pinching Luluye’s cheek, Ayramirong finally let go.
“I’ll deal with you properly after we get home.”
Hearing that, Luluye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew her teacher well.
If Ayramirong was willing to say she’d punish her later…
It meant most of her anger had already subsided.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
“You’re the kindest teacher ever!”
“Hmph.”
Ayramirong snorted.
“Instead of worrying about that…”
“You should think about something more important.”
“…Can you really accept today’s outcome?”
Luluye immediately understood.
Naturally, she echoed her teacher’s thoughts.
“Of course not!”
“Good.”
Ayramirong nodded with satisfaction.
“We’re members of the Mocking Witch Society.”
“We don’t admit defeat so easily.”
“One day…”
“We’ll get our revenge.”
“That’s right!”
Luluye clenched her fist enthusiastically.
“We’ll definitely teach that man a lesson!”
Now that they were hundreds of meters away, the obedient teacher and student from earlier had completely disappeared.
They had become arrogant once again.
Unfortunately…
Just as the two were laughing triumphantly—
Crack!
The space before them suddenly fractured like shattered glass.
A familiar head poked through the opening.
It was Sun Du.
He looked at them and sighed.
“So…”
“You really haven’t repented at all.”
“…”
“…”
The teacher and student froze where they stood.
As a result…
Sun Du returned to Zone One with three bound prisoners instead of one.
When Lu Xiaoxiao and the others saw the group coming back, they were completely bewildered.
“Weren’t you going to release them?”
“Why are there even more prisoners now?”
After Sun Du explained everything, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately understood.
This scenario felt strangely familiar.
“It really is…”
“…like the Calabash Brothers taking turns trying to rescue Grandpa.”
She couldn’t help wondering why everyone kept making exactly the same mistake.
Because of this incident, the Mocking Witch Society’s retrieval operation naturally failed.
Instead of rescuing two people…
They had lost another member.
In the end, the leader of the Mocking Witch Society had no choice but to increase the compensation and formally request the release of all three prisoners.
This time, she even personally wrote a letter of apology to Sun Du.
Exactly how she learned about him remained a mystery.
Perhaps there was a spy within the safe zone.
Whatever the reason, after repeated guarantees from the leader, Sun Du finally agreed to release the prisoners once again.
Although Sun Du had captured yet another member, Chang Wutong wasn’t upset.
Quite the opposite.
The fact that the Mocking Witch Society’s leader had personally apologized to Sun Du proved one thing—
Even they regarded him as someone dangerous enough to warrant caution.
Chang Wutong naturally became even more enthusiastic about recruiting him.
When the Society finally sent another representative to retrieve the prisoners…
They were far more cautious this time.
The unfortunate envoy had heard rumors about the terrifying “big boss” on the other side.
He arrived hiding behind an enormous shield, trembling the entire time, terrified that Sun Du might suddenly appear and “reform” him as well.
Fortunately…
He was worrying for nothing.
By then, Sun Du had already departed for Wutong Academy.
The prisoner exchange concluded peacefully.
As for everything that happened afterward…
That was another story.
Inside Lu Xiaoxiao’s room, she finished packing her luggage.
It was almost time to return to Wutong Academy.
Standing by the window, Sun Du looked outside before suddenly asking,
“Xiaoxiao.”
“What kind of place do you think Wutong Academy is?”
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before answering.
“To me…”
“It’s just a school.”
“A very large school.”
“There are many noble young ladies there.”
“The facilities are excellent.”
“The campus is beautiful.”
“As for anything deeper…”
“I can’t really say.”
“I’ve only been there a short time.”
“I still don’t know the academy very well.”
“I see…”
Sun Du nodded thoughtfully.
“Then…”
“Does anyone know you’re actually a magical girl?”
“Especially the headmistress?”
“I don’t think so…”
“I’m not sure.”
“Hmm.”
Sun Du counted on his fingers for a moment before nodding.
“She doesn’t know.”
“So my previous suspicion was just a coincidence.”
“Besides…”
“Xiaoxiao.”
“You’re still the only male magical girl.”
“…”
“I guessed as much…”
“But hearing it confirmed is still embarrassing.”
“Why did I become a magical girl…”
“Compared to that…”
Sun Du carefully examined Lu Xiaoxiao.
“You seem…”
“…shorter.”
“And your skin has become even fairer.”
“Smoother too.”
“I think so.”
“My skin has become much softer.”
“It must be because becoming a magical girl improved my physique.”
“My skin used to be so dry it sometimes cracked.”
Sun Du scratched his head.
“So…”
“Improving your body can make you shorter?”
“Is being tall somehow harmful?”
“Xiaoxiao…”
“Do you have gigantism?”
“I don’t think so…”
After speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, right.”
“Commander Sun.”
“I think Sister Liu looked rather unhappy just now.”
“Unhappy?”
“What happened this time?”
“Did her ‘true love’ die again?”
“…”
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him helplessly.
“I don’t know.”
“But…”
“It was the same before.”
“Whenever it’s time to return to school…”
“Sister Liu always seems a little sad.”
“I asked her once.”
“But she wouldn’t tell me.”
“She only said…”
“‘It’s better if you don’t know.'”
“‘Better if you don’t know?'”
Sun Du thought for a moment.
“Alright.”
“I’ll ask her myself.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing.”
Leaving Lu Xiaoxiao’s room, Sun Du found Liu Nuanyu standing alone in the corridor.
She was quietly sighing at a potted plant.
“Miss Liu.”
“Are you sighing because of your ‘true love’ again?”
He pointed meaningfully at the flowerpot.
“…No.”
“I…”
“…Sigh.”
Liu Nuanyu nearly lost her temper again.
Seeing that, Sun Du asked,
“Xiaoxiao said you’ve seemed down.”
“What’s wrong?”
Liu Nuanyu smiled faintly.
“So Xiao-mei noticed…”
“I’m fine.”
“You two don’t need to worry about me.”
“Really.”
“Just tell me honestly.”
“I can read minds.”
“Or use divination.”
“I’ll find out eventually.”
“…”
After hesitating for a long while, Liu Nuanyu finally gave in.
“…Alright.”
“The truth is…”
“I don’t really like some of the people at the academy.”
“Who?”
“There are several…”
“But the most important one…”
“…is a girl.”
“A girl?”
“Yes.”
“She…”
Liu Nuanyu hesitated before continuing.
“…gives me a very frightening feeling.”
“And…”
“The way she looks at Xiao-mei…”
“…isn’t normal.”
Sun Du’s eyebrows shot upward.
“Xiaoxiao?”
He looked genuinely surprised.
“…There’s another troublesome woman?”
