Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

Fran has stopped struggling.

She was suspended in mid-air by tentacles, her head drooping, her short white hair sticking messily to her cheeks, and her small wings drooping limply behind her, too weak to even flap.

Like a kitten being held by the scruff of its neck, limbs dangling in the air, eyes vacant, as if saying, "Do whatever you want, I'm already like this, do whatever you want."

Miya was about to poke Fran's cheek with a finger when she saw Fran's completely resigned attitude, so she stopped in mid-air.

Fran's eyes were half-open, with undried tears still clinging to her eyelashes, glistening in the moonlight.

Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. Judging from her lip movements, she was probably cursing at her, but she didn't even have the strength to do so.

Miya's fingers stopped in front of Fran's cheek, then withdrew, a sense of guilt welling up in her heart.

Looking at Fran's tear-streaked face, he recalled the time he had pretended to cry to deceive her outside the ancestral hall.

At that time, Fran was completely fooled by her. She carried her up the mountain, wiped the mud off her face with her sleeve, and folded her little wings to shield her from the cold wind.

But now Mi Ye has trapped her here, removed her mask, and exposed her face. Thousands of viewers in the live stream witnessed her going from cursing to begging for mercy. Isn't that a bit too much?

Miya sighed inwardly and gently patted Fran's head.

Fran's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not dodge.

The tentacles silently loosened, peeling away from her body in circles, and gently placed her on the ground.

Fran showed no intention of standing up, remaining seated like a duck on the muddy ground covered with fallen leaves, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, completely still.

Miya squatted in front of her, tilted her head and waited for a while. Seeing Fran's pitiful appearance, she took off the bat mask hanging on the tentacle and gently placed it back on Fran's knee.

Fran's fingers twitched, touching the edge of the mask, then she slowly raised her head, staring at Miya with her blood-red eyes still streaked with tears.

The two of them squatted down and stared at each other.

Fran had prepared a torrent of profanities. In fact, during the time she was slacking off, she had been thinking about how to curse in the most offensive way, so that when Mi Ye got tired, she could unleash all those words on him.

But now she opened her mouth, and nothing came out.

Because Miya was looking at her, the moonlight shone on the fox mask, making the white background and red patterns look very alluring, and her expression changed into a motherly smile, making one want to pounce on her and act cute.

The moment the thought popped into Fran's mind, she froze.

How could I possibly have the thought of wanting to jump into the other person's arms and act cute?

She should have pounced on that bastard and bit him.

So he could only try to suppress this desire, sullenly turning his head to the side, picking up the sickle from the ground, and supporting himself to stand up.

"……next time."

Fran had her back to Miya, so her expression was not visible.

"You just wait until next time."

After saying that, she flapped her wings and flew towards Dengrong Street, her figure shrinking smaller and smaller in the layers of trees.

Miya looked in the direction Fran had left, pursed her lips, and whispered something only she could hear.

"……sorry."

She stood up, brushed the withered leaves off her skirt, and carefully tucked a thought into her mind: she would find time someday to go to Star Orbit Academy and apologize to Fran in person. Even if Fran beat her up, she wouldn't fight back.

But that's for later; she has important things to do now.

Mi Ye reopened the team panel and glanced at the popularity score.

In that short period of time, their team's popularity ranking jumped from the seventies to the top twenty.

The 300+ impression points she spent on Fran have now been earned back many times over through viewer donations and new followers.

The number of viewers in the live stream is about to break 10,000, and the chat is still scrolling wildly at a speed that is completely impossible to see.

Who exactly is this Miya you've all been talking about?!

[Just search it up yourself; this is the infamous tentacle witch who strikes fear into the hearts of all.]

[How can Fran's soft and cuddly appearance be so adorable? Could the streamer please capture a few more little witches and adjust the focus?!]

[This is amazing! I'll eat my hat if this doesn't trend on social media tomorrow.]

Miya took a deep breath and decided to take advantage of the still-hot topic to rob a few more lone little witches.

She continued walking deeper into the mountains, following the sounds of fighting coming from afar, and soon encountered her first target.

A lone idol witch was squatting by the stream, charging her staff while humming a song, completely unaware that someone had appeared in the shadows behind her.

Miya reached up from behind, her tentacles silently slipping out of her sleeve, then suddenly rolled up, binding her ankles and hanging her upside down.

Before the little witch could react to what was happening, the Void Lice had already crawled all over her body along its tentacles. The paralysis effect took effect, and after struggling a couple of times, she went completely limp.

Miya took the points from her, said thank you, and then continued walking forward without looking back.

Next one, then the next one, and then the next one again.

Scattered around the bamboo forest and stream behind the Banyan Tree Street were many players who had been separated by the monster tide. Most of them were idol trainees with little combat experience, since this game was originally aimed at idol groups, and those with rich combat skills were actually a minority.

Fran, who can withstand B-rank monsters, is already extremely rare. In Mi Ye's eyes, most of the remaining players are no different from walking points carts.

The tentacles bind it, the empty louse sticks on, the points are in hand, the whole process is smooth and seamless.

She even started adjusting her methods based on each little witch's reaction. Some were still stubbornly cursing, so she tied them up a little longer. Others were so close to crying that their eyes were red, so she temporarily stopped taking their points. When she let them go, she would even straighten their collars that had been messed up by the tentacles.

Each time she eliminates an opponent, she uses the points she steals to buy more exposure.

The higher the impressions, the higher the ranking of the live stream, the more viewers click in, and the more gifts and popularity points increase.

By the time Mi Ye had fought her way along the stream to the end of the bamboo forest, her team's popularity had firmly secured a place in the top ten.

Meanwhile, in the Moon Forest teachers' dormitory, Hiesta was lying in bed scrolling through her tablet.

She was wearing a pink nightgown with a very low neckline, the blanket only covered her waist, and her pink hair was messily spread on the pillow.

She was about to go to sleep, and as usual before bed, she would browse MikuFans to see if there were any cute little witches to admire. But as soon as she entered the homepage, the cover image on the recommended spot made her jump out of bed.

"Primula!!!"

Hiesta was gripping the tablet, making so much noise it almost shook the dorm room.

"Look at that tentacle! Isn't that Miya?!"

As she shouted, she jumped off the bed with the tablet in her arms, then climbed barefoot onto the next bed and shoved the tablet right in front of Primula.

Primula was leaning against the headboard, slowly and methodically manicuring her nails. Her long blue hair was braided into a loose side ponytail that hung over her shoulder. She squinted as the screen suddenly shoved in front of her squinted.

On the screen, a little witch wearing a fox mask is binding another little witch with tentacles. The tentacles spread out from her back into several strands, and she even extends her index finger to gently lift the other witch's chin, tilting her head as if admiring her prey.

The scrolling of comments is so fast that you can't see the content at all, but you can still guess what it is.

Primula stared at the screen for a long time, her nail clippers hovering in mid-air.

"...It really is her."

On the screen, Mi Ye had just cleared the little witch's points to zero. The tentacles flicked in the air and then obediently retracted behind her.

Moonlight streamed down from above the forest, illuminating her pink ancient costume and fox mask. She tilted her head towards the camera, a small smile curving up at the corner of her mouth beneath the mask.

My sister is detaining me!

Does anyone have an account to share? I really want to follow this one!

Why is this little girl so charming?

[Will the live stream get banned if it stays like this?]

Primula stared at it silently for a while, then expressionlessly shoved the tablet back into Siesta's arms and picked up the nail clippers again.

"...Yes, it really is beautiful."

Her tone remained indifferent, but Hiesta noticed with her sharp eyes that when Primra picked up the nail clippers again, the tips of her ears were tinged with a light pink.

Hiesta opened her mouth, intending to ask further, but then swallowed the words back down her throat.

Well, that's just how Primula is; her words are tougher than her tentacles.

She turned the tablet back, her peach-colored eyes still glued to the screen, her hands cupping her burning cheeks, her voice filled with undisguised infatuation.

"Did she secretly practice? How can she be so alluring? I'll be the first to get her autograph when Xiao Miye becomes famous!"

"You can go see her tomorrow, she's at school anyway."

Primula continued clipping her nails without looking up.

"You don't understand! Going to her now just doesn't feel the same! You have to wait until she's bundled up like a little rice ball, wearing a cat-ear hat and looking like a socially awkward person avoiding everyone's gaze, and then you can think about how she is as the fox-faced demon king in the game! That's the essence of the contrasting charm!!"

Hiesta became more and more excited as she spoke, and the tablet almost slipped from her hands, her legs dangling in the air.

"Are you done talking? Go back to your own bed."

Primula almost got kicked, and then looked impatient.

I want to sleep with you tonight.

Hiesta turned her head with a smile.

"roll."

Primula uttered a single word.

"It's okay, I'll still crawl over to find you after you fall asleep."

"..."

Primula's face twitched, and she was about to say those three words, but in the end, she suppressed her temper with her personal composure.

Meanwhile, Hiesta, still holding her face, continued to enjoy the scene of Miya teasing the little witch.
