Originally, her human body was just an illusion, only resembling a human externally; inside, it was just a pulp.
But now, her body had become like an ordinary human’s, with all the necessary parts and details.
“This part doesn’t need checking, right?”
Seeing the Demon’s hand moving toward her lower body, Luo Shuangyue yelled.
Don’t do things like that inside my consciousness!
But the Demon ignored her and searched around for a while longer.
Then she cast Luo Shuangyue a complex glance. “Maybe… I’ve already been assimilated by you.”
Her body had completely transformed into that of a human, and her emotions now included many feelings that were no longer those of a demon.
This was a form of assimilation, wasn’t it?
“Then can you tell me where White Night is?”
“No.”
Great, no room for negotiation. Luo Shuangyue sighed and sat down with her back to the Royal-Class Magic Beast, starting to stare blankly ahead.
She didn’t know how to leave this Containment Space. Maybe once she had slept enough, she’d naturally be able to leave.
While lost in thought, she couldn’t help but recall the events from not long ago.
She had actually done that kind of thing with Xia Mo while disguised as Dark Moth!
And it was Xia Mo who had taken the initiative—that was just too… wait,
wait!
Perhaps because she was now deep within the Dreamscape, Luo Shuangyue was able to recall every single detail of what had happened with incredible clarity.
Some of those details made her feel as if the sky was about to collapse.
Had Xia Mo been calling her Shuangyue in her heart?
Did she treat her as a substitute, or did she already know her true identity? Wow, whichever it was, it was absolutely explosive!
Bit by bit, Luo Shuangyue retrieved her memories in this synesthetic state, savoring them slowly, but the more she did, the colder her heart felt.
Something was off. This was definitely, nine out of ten, off. Xia Mo’s thoughts had to be treating her as Luo Shuangyue!
Had she been exposed? Had her secret identity been blown? When did that happen?
“Xiao Hei! Come over here and help me think this through!” Realizing her perfect disguise had been compromised at some unknown time, Luo Shuangyue felt only one emotion left inside her—numbness.
Xia Mo’s thoughts clearly didn’t show that she had just found out Dark Moth was Luo Shuangyue.
She had definitely known for a long time!
And instead of confronting her directly, she hid it and kept watching the show?
Wow, how could Xia Mo be so cruel!
“Xiao Hei… I think that name is too lazy.” Despite saying that, the Royal-Class Magic Beast floated over and sat beside Luo Shuangyue, watching her memories with her.
She was bored stiff now; having something to do was better than nothing at all.
She saw Luo Shuangyue pull up a whole bunch of memories, searching for the moment she was exposed, but no matter how hard she looked, Luo Shuangyue couldn’t find any mistake she had made that gave Xia Mo a clue about her identity.
“Oh! So that fake card’s magical aura came from this. No wonder the scent was so authentic. You guys actually had the genuine Demon King card.”
The Royal-Class Magic Beast had found the answer to a question that had troubled her for a long time.
“Besides, ever since that night, Xia Mo’s attitude toward you changed. The problem must have started there!”
“So, Xiao Hei, why do you think that after discovering my identity, she didn’t just confront me directly?”
Was she discovered right after that time? Luo Shuangyue thought this possibility was not impossible, especially since she was injured then, and perhaps the similarity in the wound’s location had aroused Xia Mo’s suspicion.
Add in everything that happened afterward, and that must have made Xia Mo completely sure of her identity.
But here was the real problem: if Xia Mo already knew her identity, why did she pretend to know nothing?
Why didn’t she come to accuse her outright?
“I’m not human, how would I know what you humans think?” The Royal-Class Magic Beast rolled her eyes at Luo Shuangyue’s futile attempt to give her a better name.
What kind of drug did she take to ask a demon about human feelings?
Do demons even have feelings, is that your question?
“Having another person to brainstorm with is better than me thinking blindly alone.”
Luo Shuangyue propped her chin and began to replay Xia Mo’s actions after that day.
Then, while reviewing everything, she noticed something she hadn’t seen before.
After that day, her younger sister’s attitude toward her had also started to feel strange.
Before, there had always been a clear sense of distance between them, but from that day on, Luo Shuangxing’s attitude became ambiguous.
That distance seemed to vanish overnight!
She even prepared women’s clothes for Luo Shuangyue to wear.
“Could she also know?!” Luo Shuangyue gasped, realizing she was the only one kept in the dark and made to look like a fool.
Seeing Luo Shuangyue’s colorful expressions, the Royal-Class Magic Beast let out a cheerful laugh. She wasn’t quite sure what was going on, but she just wanted to laugh.
“Don’t they have any reaction to what’s happening to me?
Do they all wish I was like this?”
Luo Shuangyue had thought it would be difficult to explain that she was a girl, and that Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing would be at a loss.
But now she realized, after her female identity was revealed, Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing showed no discomfort at all.
On the contrary, they became more proactive and visibly happier!
“Oh, so the little one was turned into this by you guys? Interesting, really interesting.”
While Luo Shuangyue was tangled up in whether her female identity was more popular than her male one, the Royal-Class Magic Beast noticed the black gemstone formed from the Resentful Demon Emperor’s Core.
Honestly, after watching the battle between the Resentful Demon Emperor and the Magical Girls, the Royal-Class Magic Beast felt deeply embarrassed.
That thing was so shameful—it even lost its mind just to get some food!
But after the Resentful Demon Emperor was defeated, it absorbed Luo Shuangyue’s magic power, and the Soul Summoner Princess used soul flames to forge the black gemstone, which piqued the Royal-Class Magic Beast’s curiosity.
What was this thing? She hadn’t seen anything like it before.
From its appearance, it was a classic Royal-class Monster’s Core, and inside should be the newborn consciousness of the Resentful Demon Emperor.
But judging from Luo Shuangyue and the Soul Summoner Princess’s evaluations, the consciousness inside probably couldn’t be called a demon.
Could it be because during its formation, it absorbed not a demon’s magic power, but the power of a Magical Girl? Because of this difference, its consciousness leaned more toward the Magical Girl side?
While the Royal-Class Magic Beast pondered this, Luo Shuangyue’s body beside her slowly began to become ethereal, as if drifting away from this world.
Oh, she was waking up from the dream, the Royal-Class Magic Beast realized.
And just thinking about the problems Luo Shuangyue would face upon awakening made the corners of her mouth twitch into a smile.
“What are you laughing at?” Luo Shuangyue asked, seeing her smile and getting goosebumps.
“That I want to laugh at the things you’ll face once you’re awake. Is that not allowed?”
Luo Shuangyue looked down at her now fully transparent body, her face showing utter confusion.
She still hadn’t figured out how to face Xia Mo!
She didn’t want to go through this!
But no matter how much she resisted, the collapse of the Dreamscape was inevitable. What she needed to face would have to be faced sooner or later.
Watching Luo Shuangyue leave this void world, the Royal-Class Magic Beast laughed twice before sitting back down on the ground.
Her brief moment of joy was over; it was time to face the endless darkness again.
Sigh, might as well just die… The thought just popped into her mind when the giant Butterfly above her head suddenly fluttered its wings twice for some reason.
Some sparkling light fell from the Butterfly’s wings, slowly merging into the Royal-Class Magic Beast’s body.
Her eyes widened as something new formed in her mind.
If she wasn’t mistaken, this giant Butterfly seemed to have granted her the power to alter this Containment Space.
Opening her eyes, outside was a pitch-black sky, and beside her lay a soft body radiating a faint warmth.
Luo Shuangyue felt her arm trapped between two soft objects, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw Xia Mo’s peaceful sleeping face.
They were lying on the same bed, with Xia Mo clutching her arm tightly. Luo Shuangyue couldn’t even pull her arm away.
If she tried forcefully, she would definitely wake Xia Mo.
And Luo Shuangyue still hadn’t figured out how to face her childhood friend.
Before, she could use the identity of Dark Moth to numb and deceive herself, but now that Xia Mo had long since seen through her true identity, Luo Shuangyue could no longer fool herself with the old excuses.
