Chapter 24: Master…I am willing to fall for you.

Those two words drained the last flicker of resistance from Lin Qingya’s soul, spilling from her slightly parted lips.

“Yes… Master…”

As the words faded, the struggle in her eyes vanished completely.

The forced violet haze now bloomed from within, devouring the original hue of her pupils.

A pair of eyes, identical to Bai Wanting’s—deep, bewitching violet—were born in that moment.

No trace of Lin Qingya’s own light remained, only absolute submission to the one before her.

Bai Wanting finally let a profound, satisfied smile curve her lips.

She reached out, gently caressing Lin Qingya’s cheek, declaring her ownership with deliberate clarity.

“That’s right—from today, everything of yours no longer belongs to you. It all belongs to me.”

Lin Qingya yielded to the warmth of that hand, murmuring devoutly.

“Yes, everything of mine no longer belongs to me—it belongs only to Master…”

This picture of total compliance unleashed the pent-up thrill in Bai Wanting’s heart.

Her hands grew restless.

Cool fingertips trailed lightly over Lin Qingya’s warm neck, savoring the exquisite smoothness of her skin.

Downward, to the girl’s delicate collarbone.

Further still, slipping through the thin fabric of her pajama top, wandering languidly over that soft expanse.

Lin Qingya’s body quivered with a fine tremor, her pale skin flushing a charming pink at the touch of her master’s fingers.

Her cheeks warmed too, her breaths quickening.

“Does it feel good, my little Qingya?”

Bai Wanting’s breath ghosted her ear, her hand unrelenting, delighting in Lin Qingya’s shy, enticing responses.

“So… so good, Master…”

Lin Qingya answered obediently, her body melting completely, limp in Bai Wanting’s arms, yielding to whatever she desired.

“Remember this,” Bai Wanting murmured, her fingers pressing a touch firmer, her voice weaving deeper hypnosis.

“Master rules your life—this pleasure only Master can give you.”

“No one else—not even yourself—can ever make you feel this good. Understand?”

“Mm!”

Lin Qingya let out an involuntary whimper, her body shuddering violently.

Her breaths grew ragged and uneven, the unfamiliar sensation overwhelming her thoughts, leaving only instinctive obedience to that singular will.

“Yes… yes, Master… Master rules my life… only Master… can make me feel this…”

Watching Lin Qingya lost in the haze, her eyes misted over, Bai Wanting knew the moment had ripened.

Time for the boldest, most crucial test.

Her gaze sharpened with authority, issuing the ultimate command.

“Since Master rules everything about you, Master now commands you—”

“Abandon your magical girl identity. Be Master’s woman forever!”

The command detonated in Lin Qingya’s pleasure- and obedience-filled mind!

Her body stiffened.

Those freshly violet eyes contracted sharply, flickering with conflict.

Ding—

At the same instant, the cat-ear transformation device atop her head erupted in blinding white light, a searing pain lancing through her scalp, striving to rouse its host from the brink of corruption!

It had come, as expected!

But this time, Bai Wanting didn’t retreat like before.

She watched the turmoil in Lin Qingya’s eyes, not halting—instead, a triumphant, icy smirk tugged at her lips.

Still resisting?

Too late!

“Mm…!”

Before Lin Qingya could muster any defense, her lips were claimed by Bai Wanting’s tender kiss.

Her eyes widened instinctively, her vacant pupils reflecting Bai Wanting’s affectionate gaze.

The kiss was domineering yet gentle, carrying a desperate, all-or-nothing edge.

Bai Wanting knew—victory or defeat hung on this.

“Ah—!”

Lin Qingya couldn’t hold back a cry.

This sensation—she’d never felt anything like it! A melting that consumed even the soul!

The device’s burning agony, the deep-seated struggle over justice and duty—all of it washed away in that instant!

Lin Qingya lost herself completely.

The deep kiss lingered until her breaths grew faint, before Bai Wanting reluctantly released her.

Please, Qingya… choose Sister…

Lin Qingya gasped for air, the white light from her cat ears flickering like a dying flame, unsteady and dim.

It had tried its best, but this host was beyond saving.

Bai Wanting gazed lovingly at the impossibly cute girl in her arms, repeating her command with unyielding resolve.

“Qingya, answer me—you’ll be my woman!”

Her voice laced with sweet temptation.

“As long as you abandon being a magical girl, Master promises… every day… every day, I’ll care for you, protect you, pamper you like a little princess…”

Treat me… like a little princess…

Lin Qingya slumped in Bai Wanting’s arms, her gaze unfocused.

The cat ears’ white glow intensified, the burning warning sharpening in a final plea.

Bai Wanting prayed silently, awaiting judgment.

She didn’t press, simply holding her, waiting for the ultimate choice.

Time stretched eternally.

After what felt like forever…

Lin Qingya’s lips trembled, her voice a sobbing, dreamlike murmur as she made her decision.

“Yes… Master…”

“I… I want… to be your woman forever…”

“Abandon… abandon being a magical girl…”

Her attachment and adoration for Bai Wanting had finally triumphed over her crumbling convictions.

She chose submission to Bai Wanting.

The instant the final word fell—

Snap.

A crisp crack echoed from atop her head.

The cat ears, flashing white, went dark in that moment, plunging into utter silence.

It had given up on this irredeemable, self-fallen disgrace of a host.

Success!

Bai Wanting nearly wept with exhilaration!

Finally! She’d yanked this foolish girl back from the path to certain doom!

She finally had the chance… to save her!

Bai Wanting tightened her arms, enveloping her now wholly owned treasure in a fierce embrace.

But… it was still a long road.

Her gaze fell on the dim cat ears, a cold killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Though Lin Qingya had forsaken her magical girl identity on a conscious level, this was just the first step.

That damned device, the root of all evil, still clung stubbornly.

It had lost—but it wasn’t dead yet.

No matter.

She’d taken the crucial leap—from zero to one.

Next…

She’d “modify” that device a little.

Only by corrupting Lin Qingya’s core with her own magic could her little Qingya truly escape this filthy mire.

Her Qingya needed only to live carefree… as her personal little princess…
