Chapter 106 Part 2: How Is This Sister So Naughty?

The monsters charged straight at Xia Mo, using their acceleration ability, but they were far too easy to hit. No matter how fast they were, they couldn’t outrun Xia Mo’s Magic Artillery.

Picking off the remaining monsters one by one, Xia Mo felt a bit bored as she recalled the battle with the Resentful Spirit Demon King. Taking down General-level Monsters no longer gave her much of a thrill.

One shot, one kill, and yet no sense of accomplishment at all.

“But for Bud-level Magical Girls, these monsters should be relatively strong opponents…”

Although Xia Mo had easily defeated these monsters, she thought it would be troublesome for an average Bud-level Magical Girl to handle them.

Their shells were tough, and their acceleration ability had a deadly surprise element. One small mistake could leave a Bud-level Magical Girl caught off guard and struggling.

“Record the data on these monsters. Next time we encounter them, we need to be wary of their acceleration ability.” Xia Mo shouted to the Magic Division Squad, who were already suited up and entering the battlefield in Protective Suits.

The squad captain gave Xia Mo an OK sign and then quickly directed his team to start collecting the remaining items in the pit—the monsters’ Original Magic Power cores, scattered metal fragments not eaten by the monsters, even scraping a layer of soil from the ground.

Since two days had passed since the explosion, only a few metal pieces remained.

Instead, they recovered a large amount of Original Magic Power from the General-level Monsters.

The Magic Division Squad sorted these items into special containers and then boarded the Flying Aircraft to head back.

They had to rush these materials back to the city for further research.

Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing escorted the plane’s landing at the Magic Department and then went straight home.

What happened next was no longer their concern, and the evening was growing late—it was better to get home early.

Once home, Luo Shuangxing immediately smelled the long-missed aroma of home-cooked food, which brightened her eyes after a week of eating takeout.

“Back already? Hurry up and come eat dinner.” Luo Shuangyue, wearing an apron, poked her head out from the kitchen. Seeing Xia Mo and her sister arriving together, she spoke as if nothing unusual had happened.

She didn’t ask why Xia Mo came back on the same day as her, nor why both returned so late.

It was as if today was just an ordinary day, as if the past week she and Xia Mo hadn’t even left.

To Luo Shuangxing, this was definitely the behavior of someone guilty.

Why didn’t Luo Shuangyue ask Xia Mo about coming back on the same day? Such a coincidence, yet she didn’t even bring it up.

And the dinner on the table was clearly set for three people, meaning Luo Shuangyue definitely knew Xia Mo would be home today.

“Brother, you and Xia Mo really came back on the same day—what a coincidence,” Luo Shuangxing said meaningfully.

You two left together and came back together, and you say you didn’t spend some time alone!

Luo Shuangyue’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment. She coughed into her fist and weakly retorted, “It’s just a coincidence… a coincidence so big that she doesn’t even know how to explain it.”

In the end, it was Xia Mo who pulled Luo Shuangxing out of the kitchen and saved Luo Shuangyue from an awkward situation. Otherwise, today’s Luo Shuangyue might have just stammered her way through the conversation.

Sitting at the dinner table, Luo Shuangxing looked at Xia Mo somewhat unhappily. She felt her dear sister Xia Mo was clearly favoring the other “bad” sister just now.

Xia Mo! As soon as you had the chance, you started protecting your wife, huh? [How mean!]

“Don’t push her. If you keep digging into this, she won’t be able to explain anything.” Xia Mo winked at Luo Shuangxing.

Luo Shuangyue could find reasons to explain everything else, but this particular matter was truly unexplainable.

If Luo Shuangxing kept questioning, Luo Shuangyue would have to spill everything.

“But if we don’t ask, won’t she suspect that we already know something?”

With such suspicious circumstances, Luo Shuangxing felt she had to ask. If she didn’t, wouldn’t that make her behavior seem odd?

Xia Mo cleared her throat awkwardly.

She touched her lips and whispered to Luo Shuangxing, “She probably already knows.”

Seeing this small gesture, Luo Shuangxing understood. So Xia Mo really had “eaten” her sister, huh?

No wonder Luo Shuangyue was probably suspicious inside, likely wondering if Xia Mo had figured out her true identity.

Otherwise, why else would Xia Mo treat someone who once humiliated her like this?

“Then why don’t you just come clean?” Luo Shuangxing asked quietly.

Since you both know each other’s identities, why not just admit it? Why keep pretending?

Is this some unique little game between you two?

“There’s a saying—self-deception. She’s still fooling herself, refusing to believe it.” Xia Mo rolled her eyes naturally, as if to say, “Your sister’s just a stubborn person. If she wants to keep up the act, I’ll play along.”

“But look at Shuangyue—she’s already growing her hair out.”

Xia Mo subtly pointed at Luo Shuangyue, who was still busy in the kitchen, reminding Luo Shuangxing to notice the changes.

Luo Shuangxing turned her head and carefully scanned Luo Shuangyue from head to toe.

Just now, she did feel that Luo Shuangyue seemed different somehow, and now, with Xia Mo’s remark, she finally understood what had changed.

With her hair grown out a bit longer, Luo Shuangyue, even in her still somewhat androgynous clothes, could no longer suppress the feminine aura unique to a girl.

Before, Luo Shuangyue still looked like a tomboy; now, she looked completely like a girl.

“We want to change her little by little, subtly helping her accept the reality that she’s a girl. Understand?”

“Got it!”

A few minutes later.

“Brother, why did you suddenly grow your hair out?”

Luo Shuangyue paused mid-bite.

Although she knew this question would have to be answered sooner or later, it was still a difficult explanation.

Could she say it was Xia Mo’s idea? No, that would reveal everything.

So she clenched her teeth and said she just thought growing her hair a little longer was nice.

“Oh, so you’re finally planning to use your advantage and compete with those little ‘male maids’ online? Then I think you’ll soon become the dream lover of many young boys.”

Luo Shuangxing touched her own face and chuckled.

“After all, with my foundation, brother, you’ll definitely be a stunning beauty in female clothes~”

These words made Luo Shuangyue’s forehead twitch with veins popping out.

What do you mean, “with your foundation”? What I look like has nothing to do with you, you little brat!

My foundation comes from dad and mom, not you, Luo Shuangxing!

And don’t you understand what “first come, first served” means? I’m older than you; I was born before you! If anyone looks like anyone, it’s you who looks like me, not the other way around!

“Do you hate how I used to look?” Luo Shuangyue lowered her eyelids, clenched her left fist, and threatened with gritted teeth.

But Luo Shuangxing wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

Heh, you weak little brother, sitting here threatening me? Xia Mo’s right here! If you have the guts, come hit me!

“I don’t hate it, but I definitely like it better when brother wears girl’s clothes,” Luo Shuangxing seriously answered, tapping her chin.

This time, she wasn’t joking. She truly thought Luo Shuangyue looked better in feminine clothes than in this androgynous style.

She used to think of her brother as just a brother, so even if boyish Luo Shuangyue looked a little off, it still felt normal.

After all, boys wearing girls’ clothes can sometimes feel a bit… unhealthy mentally.

But now things changed. Luo Shuangxing realized her brother was actually her sister.

Whoa, talk about a complete reversal.

Now, wearing boys’ clothes is the unhealthy one.

Luo Shuangxing, as a younger sister, felt it necessary to help her sister accept the truth.

Stop stubbornly saying you’re a brother, a man, and only wear boys’ clothes.

Accept reality!

Put on this beautiful little dress, and let’s be sisters!

“By the way, brother, don’t forget the thing you promised me before.”

“What thing… oh!” Luo Shuangyue froze for a moment, then finally remembered the promise under Luo Shuangxing’s fiercely serious gaze.

Before going to Jidong City, to stop Luo Shuangxing from prying, she had promised to wear girl’s clothes and play with Luo Shuangxing for a whole day.

Now it was time to fulfill that promise.

“My dear brother, you won’t break your word, right? You should have time tomorrow, right?”

Luo Shuangxing’s eyes darkened ominously, as if daring Luo Shuangyue to say no—otherwise she might sneak into her room at midnight and stab her.

Could Luo Shuangyue say no? Could she dare?

A promise was a promise, no matter what.

“I do.”

“That’s good. Xia Mo, can I borrow brother for a day tomorrow?”

After Luo Shuangyue nodded, Luo Shuangxing turned to Xia Mo and asked sweetly.

The contrast between the two was so vast it was like heaven and earth.

Luo Shuangyue wondered if she was really Luo Shuangxing’s brother.

This attitude made it seem more like Xia Mo was Luo Shuangxing’s real sister.

As for her, Luo Shuangyue? Hah, just some stranger with blood ties fighting for Xia Mo’s affection.

“She’s not my possession,” Xia Mo gave Luo Shuangyue an innocent look, as if to say, “This really isn’t my problem.”

As for lending Luo Shuangyue to Luo Shuangxing for a day, Xia Mo had no objections.

She wasn’t the possessive type who couldn’t stand her lover spending time with others.

Plus, the key point was Luo Shuangxing was Luo Shuangyue’s little sister. Xia Mo had no worries about what Luo Shuangxing might do.

Would Luo Shuangxing steal from Luo Shuangyue? Impossible!

Xia Mo felt the chance of Luo Shuangxing stealing from her was much higher than the other way around.

The relationship between these two sisters was very healthy—no weird situations like bone incest or anything.

There’s no such thing as that kind of sister in this world.

Anyway, Luo Shuangxing wasn’t showing any tendencies like that. What she showed was, “Sis, you’re really irresistible.”

“I’m fine with it,” Xia Mo replied, shoveling food into her mouth.

“I won’t get involved in your sisterly affairs,” that was basically what she meant.

Both agreed, and Luo Shuangyue immediately showed a happy expression.

She rested her chin on her hand and gave a meaningful look at her delectable “brother,” like examining a fish on a chopping board.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Luo Shuangyue shivered involuntarily.

She fully understood the phrase “one is the fish, the other the chopping board.”

She was truly being pinned to the chopping board by Luo Shuangxing.

And Luo Shuangxing was sharpening her knives, seriously considering how to prepare this prime fish.

“Remember the two sets of clothes I bought for you before? You probably kept them and didn’t throw them away, right?”

After a long silence, Luo Shuangxing finally spoke.

Of course, Luo Shuangyue hadn’t thrown them away. She had even worn one of them in her Lord Dark Moth persona.

“No,” Luo Shuangyue shook her head.

“Pfft, saying you don’t want to wear them, yet secretly hiding them. Brother, you wouldn’t have tried them on in secret, would you?”

“Impossible! Absolutely not!” Luo Shuangyue blushed, denying.

But inside, she felt so hollow.

Because she knew she was lying, and she knew Luo Shuangxing knew she was lying.

She had indeed secretly worn those clothes, though not as Luo Shuangyue but still worn them.

“I don’t believe your lies. But it’s good you didn’t throw them away. Tomorrow you’ll wear that white set and go out with me.”

The white set was the one Luo Shuangyue had worn before.

Luo Shuangyue understood Luo Shuangxing was trying to embarrass her and make her show an awkward expression to tease her more.

That little sister was just too wicked!
