Chapter 91: The Space That Can’t Be Pinched

‘What are you talking about! Can your little body really get used to sleeping on a big bed?  If you want a big bed, I think you just want to… ‘ 

But by now, Lando wasn’t the first to start scheming, and Su Mu was already used to it.  

“Tch, don’t worry. She only talks big. When it comes to actually doing it, I’m the one who has to hold her hand steady.”  

Yet Luo Linglan had no intention of giving them more time for teasing.  

“I was wrong. I thought I was still somewhat strict, but now you’ve become so arrogant, so indulgent… Since that’s the case, I’ll let you see the consequences of indulgence.”  

The scar at the corner of Luo Linglan’s eye began to spread, crawling viciously across her face, then her entire body.  

Her smooth, fair skin was covered and dissolved by the ink-black darkness, finally turning into a seductive dark brown.  

Her crimson lips curled slightly, forming an enchanting curve—she smiled so alluringly, like a blooming rose; though thorny, utterly irresistible.  

Moreover, she wasn’t a flower waiting to be picked but an elegant, high-class predator.  

“Rather than watching you sink bit by bit, why not just fall here, together with the girl you care about?”  

The moment Luo Linglan spoke, a prickling discomfort wrapped her whole body, involuntarily drawing her gaze toward the source of the magic power.  

Sensing something amiss, Su Mu instinctively took out her handheld console and scanned Luo Linglan.  

For some reason, this scan went unusually smoothly, almost instantly listing the vast majority of the necessary information.  

[Scanning in progress  Target: Desire Witch Concept Body, normal magic power index: Grade C. ] 

[Existence Integration Ability: “Chains of Desire,” including Fallen Desire Domain, Procreative Touch, and Eyes of Ensnarement—three abilities.]  

[Fallen Desire Domain: A domain covering a hundred-meter radius, where living beings are gradually corroded by their own desires; the higher the magic power index, the slower the corrosion progresses.]  

[Procreative Touch: Manipulates magic to form powerful, flexible, durable, and elastic tentacles. Depending on the user’s preference, various nerve toxins capable of penetrating magic can be generated on the tentacle surfaces, while also extending the user’s senses.]  

[Eyes of Ensnarement: Can pull those who make eye contact into a dreamlike state; success rate linked to the comparison of magic power indices.]  

After reading the Desire Witch’s data, Su Mu couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Did this thing not have a single decent ability?  

Seduction methods, manipulation, even forcible binding and restraint techniques.  

Once this so-called concept body fully rampages, its domain already envelops everything nearby, causing Su Mu’s skin to gradually heat up.  

“Don’t think that I’m still afraid of you at this point.”  

Lando stepped forward just in time to block Su Mu’s front.  

Her pure white military uniform was striking, but the most dazzling was the ice-blue gleam concentrated at the tip of her blade.  

Invisible tentacles tangled their way over, but were ruthlessly severed by her fierce strikes, dissipating into black mist.  

Though the onslaught was massive, it couldn’t get within half a step of Lando.  

[Ally target detected: Magical Girl Lando. Establish mental link?]  

A similar panel appeared before Lando’s eyes.

After a moment of surprise, she saw Su Mu nod and promptly accepted the request.  

In the next instant, their minds synchronized like a Pacific Rim synchronization experiment, flashing back information about each other.  

[Sync rate 50%. Following information obtained:  Target: Magical Girl Lando, normal magic power index: Grade C.]  

[Magic Weapon — Heartflow Blade. Effect: Condenses an extendable magical blade capable of piercing any substance except magic. When Lando confirms a successful strike, it will inflict corresponding damage without fail.] 

[Grade E Ability — Carrying the Mountain, Chasing the Moon. Effect: Once activated, Lando can no longer channel magic externally in any form except through her magic weapon; in exchange, she gains double her original strength.] 

[Grade D Ability — Rage. Effect: When facing an enemy, Lando gradually accumulates rage. After three minutes, the rage reaches its peak, and upon activation, she can unleash double strength for ten seconds.]  

[Grade C Ability — Frenzy. Effect: Lando can burn magic to temporarily boost her potential, but this accelerates fatigue and cannot restore magic or stamina during activation.]  

So simple, so pure—she’s basically a born berserker!  

Even activating these, Su Mu dared not imagine how far Lando could push her destructive power, since there was no cap mentioned on the strength limit.  

This meant her power could stack and grow exponentially like this.  

With such a force, what reason would she have to fear Luo Linglan?  

Just as Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed something terrible about herself.  

[Corruption Rate: 3.5%…]  

She was currently at about four percent, while Lando was at around one percent.

The difference didn’t seem large at first glance, but it meant Su Mu was falling into corruption at four times Lando’s speed within the domain.  

So far, no unbearable changes had occurred for Su Mu, but if this continued, it would soon become uncertain.  

“We must deal with this trouble quickly!”  

The handheld console whirred frantically, draining Su Mu’s magic like a vacuum cleaner while continuously reporting various dangers.  

Lando, linked to Su Mu’s mind, immediately received her intent.  

“I understand.”  

In the next moment, Lando leapt fiercely, her blade tracing a crescent arc in the air.  

From below, she sliced the tentacles that burst through the wooden floor, cutting away part of the ceiling along with them.  

Be careful, her tentacles burrow into the floor and ceiling after all.  

The ice-blue blade was like slicing tofu, effortlessly splitting the so-called resilient tentacles in two.  

However, there were too many of them—cutting off dozens here and there seemed to cause no real harm to the Desire Witch.  

Lando could have easily ignored these tentacles; her agile form could use footholds to avoid the seemingly impenetrable tentacle barrier.  

But with Su Mu behind her—who would be in serious trouble if captured—she could only hold the line for now.  

Su Mu understood this naturally, but how could she accept being just dead weight?  

Heart pounding, wary of the tentacles severed by Lando’s blade, she simultaneously operated her handheld console.  

[Self-modification initiated: Creating a sealed space enveloping entire body, simultaneously sealing all entrances with magic, covering every pore on the body surface to ensure strength sufficient to block tentacles.]  

Unexpected, right?

Cement sealing!  

Though Su Mu’s magic strength was only Grade B, having successfully activated an extra memory slot allowed her to barely hold out under the Desire Witch’s tentacles for a while.  

The instant the command was issued, a cardboard box stamped with a ripe mango appeared out of thin air, enclosing Su Mu entirely.  

‘Inside here, no one but me can play!’  

Su Mu was wrong—she herself couldn’t even manage that.  

At this moment, Su Mu still had no idea what kind of torment she would endure inside the box once desire’s corrosion took hold.  

Not only the tentacles, but even her own hands could no longer touch her body.
