Chapter 377: Forty-four, have I disappointed you as a bad woman? (5K)

Hewinia had thought she would get a good night’s sleep.

Due to a string of encounters in the past few days, her mind and body were already at their limits, to the point where she could fall into a deep sleep the moment her head touched the pillow.

But in reality, it didn’t happen. As soon as Hewinia closed her eyes, various kinds of voices started to emerge. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Arianna’s dying screams, Daphne smiling while calling her name, Hardock’s puppet strings weaving through the air… All echoed in her mind, like an unstoppable noise driving her nearly insane.

Until an undeniable voice rose from the deepest part of her brain.

“Alright, go to sleep.”

Then the noises disappeared.

Only then could Hewinia fall into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already begun to brighten.

Hewinia stared at the rising sun and after a long while, she softly said, “Mr. Visas.”

“Hmm?” Bai Wei responded.

“The voice that resonated in my heart last night, the one that put me to sleep, was it your power?” Hewinia asked.

“Oh? You remember.” Bai Wei said with a smile, “Don’t worry about it, it’s just a trivial little trick.”

“Is it?”

“Yes,” Bai Wei said casually, “I don’t know why, but the people who work with me always seem to have poor sleep. I used to have no way of helping, but now it’s different. I think I’ve found the trick. If you can’t sleep again next time, I can sing you a lullaby.”

Bai Wei’s brief remarks made Hewinia feel a myriad of objections but she didn’t know where to start complaining. Eventually, she just gave up the idea, simply thanked him, and got out of bed.

“Won’t you sleep a bit longer?” Bai Wei asked, “It’s still the day of the Seven Notes·Syllable, don’t you have classes?”

Hewinia shook her head, “No, I need to prepare to face another troublesome person.”

“Another troublesome person?”

“Phinis,” Hewinia said. “The Taichu family has already sent people to court me. Phinis couldn’t possibly be unaware. I don’t think that, knowing this, he would stick to the original plan and wait for me at the Second Academy. So, it’s very possible that he might come today, even more likely that he arrived last night. I must get ready to deal with him ahead of time.”

“Since you’ve already thought of all this, what a smart head,” Bai Wei admired. “But, it’s not just about dealing with him, right? You almost have to choose the first target to strike, right?”

Hewinia nodded slightly.

Honestly, this was a tricky point for her.

Initially, Hewinia thought about targeting an easier Golden Note first, leaving the difficult Phinis for later.

However, the appearance of Daniel yesterday marked him as even more dangerous and troublesome, even recognized by Bai Wei.

What about later? There are two from the Taichu family. Would there be even tougher folks coming? After all, being a Golden Note generally means they’re not simple—if she kept hesitating like this, she’d achieve nothing.

And hesitating wasn’t in Hewinia’s character.

So now was the time to prepare, and her first target would be… Phinis.

Having made her decision, Hewinia immediately got out of bed, adjusted her state in the shortest possible time, and then walked out.

If Phinis really came to the Three Colleges looking for her, it would be a good opportunity, at least better than taking action in the unfamiliar environment of the Second Academy.

Therefore, the first thing Hewinia had to do was to find a suitable place to take action, and come up with a reason that wouldn’t raise suspicion, to avoid being caught just as she started, which would be simply foolish.

But Hewinia wasn’t starting from scratch in this regard; ever since she arrived at this college a year ago, she had been thinking about how to collect those Golden Notes. This led her to explore every corner of the Three Colleges, selecting several places suitable for taking action.

The Forbidden Forest, where she ambushed Aiman, and the small chapel where she ambushed Arianna, were both perfect spots identified by Hewinia.

However, the small chapel was no longer usable; workers were still guarding it.

The Forbidden Forest was still an option; after all, it was too vast to keep completely guarded, and there was still a Snow Thorns Beast wandering inside that had never been dealt with.

But was it too blatant to invite Phinis to the Forbidden Forest? If Phinis knew about the Snow Thorns Beast, it would raise too much suspicion.

While pondering this, Hewinia walked to the lobby on the first floor.

Just as she was thinking of sitting by the fire to sort through her thoughts, a chill suddenly hit her. Instinctively, she looked up and saw that the dormitory door had been pushed open, and in walked a person covered in snowflakes, appearing utterly exhausted.

And that person was—Orenna.

Hewinia immediately remembered seeing Orenna here last night, just as weary as she was now.

No, she looked even more exhausted than last night, practically like a lifeless corpse.

And judging by Orenna’s current state, it seemed she had stayed outside all night.

Stayed outside all night… What was she doing?

Hewinia narrowed her eyes.

She didn’t like to leave such suspicious matters till the next day, so she abandoned her idea of sitting by the fire and immediately blocked Orenna’s path.
