“Wait, no, don’t—don’t come closer…”
Su Mu extended her weak, tiny hands, trying to push away Ye Wanqing’s approaching face.
However, she was so miniature right now that she had basically become a bolster in the other’s arms, held so tightly she could barely breathe.
“Su Mu, has Lando ever told you that you’re always being dishonest with yourself?”
Ye Wanqing’s voice carried a hint of seduction as it drifted into Su Mu’s ear, causing her heart to tremble.
Her resistance grew even weaker, but a shy flush burned brighter on her face.
‘Can you not say that at a time like this…’
“Then, will Su Mu look only at me tonight? Don’t think about anyone else, and don’t get distracted.”
Gazed upon by Ye Wanqing’s soft, affectionate red eyes, Su Mu’s body trembled slightly before she finally fell silent with a soft sigh.
“I wasn’t distracted in the first place… That damn Big Yellow Duck just had to go and remind me. How am I supposed to ignore it now?”
“Fine, now lie down…”
Su Mu looked at her current tiny body, wanting to cry but having no tears.
“Do you want to squash me?”
“But I want to be the pilot.”
Just like when they played video games, Su Mu and Ye Wanqing had played a two-player cooperative game before.
There was a segment where Player A had to fly the plane while Player B dealt with pursuers.
Even though Ye Wanqing was terrible at it, she insisted on flying.
The result was crash after crash until Su Mu couldn’t take it anymore and snatched the controller away…
This girl was the type who was addicted despite being unskilled.
What the hell did she know about piloting?
She just thought she could be a pilot because she had read a bit of theory…
Snuggling in Ye Wanqing’s soft embrace for a moment, Su Mu’s breath quietly shrouded this charming scene.
Su Mu’s face flushed, and she suddenly felt a hint of shame.
“F—Fine… I don’t care anymore. Do whatever you want!”
Su Mu turned her head away petulantly, no longer looking at Ye Wanqing, trying to bury her shyness deep in her heart.
But her delicious expression had already betrayed her.
Now, she had truly become the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, constantly tempting the girl under the tree to harvest and devour it.
However, a catalyst was still missing.
What was that catalyst?
At that moment, Tang Nai suddenly returned.
She opened the door just a crack and tossed something inside with a “whoosh”.
***
Ye Wanqing had now become Eve beneath the tree.
She stared blankly at the forbidden fruit on the branch, swallowing hard.
But when she thought of the Almighty’s teachings, she couldn’t help but fall into a dilemma.
‘No, no, I’ll be condemned. This isn’t good. Even if it looks so fragrant, so sweet, and so inviting… it’s still not okay. I must have self-control.’
Just as Ye Wanqing was about to turn and leave, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the tree and landed before her eyes.
It was a serpent!
And a greedy, sinister Two-headed Serpent at that!
It flicked its tongue with a hiss, staring at Ye Wanqing with a deep gaze before uttering tempting words.
“Ye Wanqing, oh Ye Wanqing… aren’t you curious about what that forbidden fruit the Almighty forbade you from eating actually tastes like?”
Ye Wanqing furrowed her brows, a trace of desire and confusion appearing in her crimson eyes.
‘Eating just one won’t be discovered. She isn’t looking right now anyway…’
“But… the Almighty won’t allow it…”
“Even two would be fine. Look, this fruit is so precious, so delicious, so pink and tender, so sweet and juicy. She must want to enjoy it all by herself, which is why she won’t let you eat it. You have to learn to resist.”
Ye Wanqing was filled with struggle.
Her heart was flooded with a sense of immorality.
Clearly, it was forbidden, but the fruit looked so enticing.
The pink fruit hanging from the branch looked like an apple, then a peach, and occasionally transformed into a fragrant cake.
It gave off a charming aroma, tempting Ye Wanqing to lose her self-control bit by bit, casting aside her sense of shame.
Sigh, wasn’t the sense of shame something that only came after eating the forbidden fruit?
Well, don’t worry about that.
This was a Magical Girl fairy tale; everything was reversed.
In the original myth, Eve had been naked the whole time.
Now, Ye Wanqing gently shed her clothes, similarly stirring the forbidden fruit beneath the tree.
Ye Wanqing reached for the branch, but the tree was much taller than she imagined.
Whether she stood on her tiptoes, hopped around, or hugged the trunk and rubbed upward, she simply couldn’t reach it.
She wanted to push the tree over but was afraid of breaking it.
Left with no choice, she turned her pleading gaze toward the silver-tongued Serpent.
“I really can’t reach it. What should I do?”
“It’s simple… I shall help you!”
With that, the Serpent actually sacrificed itself to bridge the final gap needed to reach the fruit.
Ye Wanqing grabbed the Serpent’s tail and lifted it upward with all her might.
The Serpent’s heads drew closer bit by bit, as if it could snap up the forbidden fruit at any moment.
“Almost there! Just a little more effort!”
Ye Wanqing stood on her tiptoes, her body tense, but she was still a tiny distance away.
When she jumped, she always lost her direction, poking the wrong place.
For a moment, she puffed out her cheeks in grievance.
‘Why is it so much trouble just to eat a piece of fruit?’
The tree, which had been fumbled with by Ye Wanqing for a long time, finally lost its patience.
It was no longer a tree that could only stand still; it began to sway in the wind.
The sealing incantation the Almighty had placed upon her was finally broken at this moment, and she became a Tree Spirit.
Her waist was as soft and slender as a willow branch, and her forbidden fruits were as full as the round moon.
Her face was flushed, and she stared at the guilty-looking Ye Wanqing with resentment and shame.
Long branches extending from the ends of the limbs wrapped around Ye Wanqing like fine, light purple threads.
She pressed forward, shaking the latter’s fair shoulders and complaining indignantly.
“Do you even know what you’re doing? I’m dying of impatience! Seriously, when I say you’re useless, you really are useless. You just had to… It’s all Tang Nai’s fault. Otherwise, I would have pinned you down long ago.”
Ye Wanqing’s face turned beet red.
She stammered, unable to speak, but after a moment of hesitation, she retorted, “That’s because you weren’t cooperating.”
Su Mu clenched her silver teeth.
With a flip of her palm, countless fine threads manifested under her control.
“You should just lie there obediently and watch me work!”
Ye Wanqing finally tasted the forbidden fruit.
This fruit was even more wonderful than she had imagined.
The sweet-smelling juice spread through her mouth.
Just like in a commercial, a gentle squeeze caused it to gush out like a turned-on faucet, soaking the ground.
How blissful.
[Magical Girl Fairy Tale — Chapter One — Nuwa Creates Humans]
End.
***
Actually, Ye Wanqing knew she was unskilled, but first, she hadn’t expected to be that bad, and second, she was stubborn.
She was stubborn, but her body was honest.
Thus, Su Mu easily took control of her.
“If you’re bad, practice more!”
