But on second thought, if some big shot really saw her as a forbidden delicacy, after all this time, they would have made a move already.
She must be overthinking it.
Since she was free now, she might as well make a trip to the Boundary Customs!
“Xue, you stay right here and don’t even think about going out, got it?”
“Mu—”
“I’ll beat you to death!”
“I know, I know.”
Easily calming Xue down, Luo You turned to leave but suddenly paused.
“…Xue, do you want to come with me to the Boundary Customs?”
“Hm?”
“You said you can smell something, so why not be my little puppy?”
More accurately, she wasn’t really asking Xue’s opinion—just gauging her reaction.
Xue had always avoided the Boundary Sea because staying inside inevitably forced one to grow stronger, eventually becoming a mindless beast like those in the Glare.
As expected, upon hearing Luo You’s plan to take her there, Xue’s expression was filled with rejection—despite all the brainwashing and hypnosis Luo You had done on her.
A qualified little slave should be overjoyed when her master wants to take her out!
“As long as we don’t get too close…” she answered timidly.
“Alright! Let’s go!”
Luo You skillfully stuffed Xue into the suitcase, then with a glamorous transformation, the bad woman who had slept with hundreds of magical girls was back.
“Well? Of course I’m not going to wear something as revealing as before. I’ll change first.”
She took off the formal dress and put on a more ordinary-looking long skirt, swapped the silk long gloves for shorter ones, and tied her long silver hair into a ponytail with braids, looking completely different from before.
By the way, she also switched her mismatched socks for a matching pair of symmetrical length and color, making her less conspicuous.
The clothes she took off turned into sparkling light particles and flowed back into her body.
Only the mask remained unchanged.
“Let’s go!”
***
Jiuling Sea.
Luo You shivered with every step, the cold wind biting straight through her, chilling her to the bone but lifting her spirits.
Even the thickened footed stockings couldn’t keep her warm; her slender yet toned thighs trembled uncontrollably, curling slightly inward—not from cold, but as if something small was tucked inside vibrating.
“Feeling cold, You?” the suitcase she was dragging suddenly spoke.
“Damn it, the suitcase can talk now?”
“Weren’t you the one who stuffed me in?”
“Just kidding, brrrrr— (shivering).”
“If you’re cold, why not wear a jacket? Why insist on skirt and stockings?”
“Shut up! That bulky jacket covers up my stunning beauty! Then how am I any different from the average person on the street?”
Though she disguised herself to be less eye-catching, Luo You steadfastly refused to blend in completely.
“No way! I really want a big sister to keep me warm!”
Just arriving at Jiuling Sea, she was already acting up—no, craving again.
She pulled out her phone, took a photo, and posted on Twitter.
‘So cold! Is there any pretty big sister nearby who can warm me up?’
Then without even glancing at the comments, Luo You went straight to a hotel, booked a room, turned on the heater, and curled up under the blanket like a useless lump.
“Xue, can you still smell that scent?”
“Yes! Very strong!”
Xue’s reaction suddenly became intense, breaking free from the suitcase’s confines to sing and dance on Luo You’s body.
“I smell it too.”
Ding dong—
Li Yun sent another message.
“‘You You, I suddenly feel like I might run into Erela at Jiuling Sea today. Can you teach me how she talks so I can get used to it?’”
Wow, your intuition deserves a lottery ticket!
Luo You pretended not to see it—she didn’t want to deal with Li Yun today.
She had bigger plans… oh no, a big sister was right here!
Previously, she had communicated with Li Yun as Luo You You, but they never developed a wonderful relationship with the big sister.
Now, as Erela, it would be different.
That insatiable big sister would definitely pounce and train her hard!
Although it was unlikely to actually happen, since Li Yun still couldn’t transform into a magical girl.
Several days had passed, and Li Yun still hadn’t reconciled with Xing Yu because they couldn’t see or contact each other, which troubled Luo You.
“This time, I’ll just go and sleep with Li Yun, then send pictures to Xing Yu to provoke her spirit, so their sisterly bond will be strengthened, Li Yun can transform again, and both sisters will be defeated by me. I can even enjoy a sisterly feast afterward.”
Perfect…
Perfect!
Even Luo You thought her plan was unprecedented and unparalleled.
Yes, indeed!
Bonds are the greatest way for magical girls to unleash their potential!
For magical girls, as long as friendship and bonds exist, nothing is impossible!
No more talk—just do it!
So Luo You messaged Li Yun asking where she was.
“At home? That won’t do; it has to look like a chance encounter…”
Thinking that, Luo You sent a voice message in her usual cheeky tone.
Li Yun, waiting at home for news, put on her headphones eagerly and immediately played the message.
“Hey~~ big sister~ after you meet me, how are you going to treat me?”
“Ehh…!”
An electric shock shot down her spine, making her ears tingle.
Li Yun was momentarily dazed.
That tone, that low and melodious voice—it was more compelling than before!
It was as if Erela’s spirit had possessed her!
“Wow, You You could totally be a voice actress!”
Li Yun couldn’t help but marvel.
If Erela hadn’t left such a deep imprint on her, she might actually forget Erela and fall for Luo You You instead.
A few seconds later, Luo You sent another voice message.
— “I’m waiting for you at Jiuling Sea~ but only if big sister can find me. I’m already eager for big sister to bully me~”
Li Yun felt her fingers stiffen instantly—an endless surge of power!
She hurriedly asked, “You You, are you really at Jiuling Sea?”
Luo You’s answer disappointed her.
“Of course not. But do you think you can meet that bad woman Erela at Jiuling Sea? Then just go out and try.”
“…Hmm, that’s true.”
Li Yun hesitated for a moment.
She spoke slowly, but since she couldn’t transform into a magical girl, even if she found Erela, she’d just be handed over, and her nascent desire for revenge might collapse once more under Erela’s training, turning her into a magical girl’s plaything.
Well, it was just a hunch; it was unlikely to actually happen, right?
Comforting herself with this thought, Li Yun started getting dressed to go out for a walk.
If she really ran into Erela, she’d just pretend not to know her.
After all, Erela didn’t know what she looked like in her non-magical girl form.
At this very moment—
Luo You stood in the square of Jiuling Sea, waiting for Li Yun, but instead, something else—an even greater threat—arrived.
“…Erela?”
Following the voice, Luo You’s expression slowly froze.
It was Zhou Xi and Ji Yue appearing side by side right before her eyes.
