“Xiao Hong Mao, you… don’t tell me you can actually hear it?”
Haizhe asked cautiously.
Then she saw Luozining’s eyes, sharp enough to cut through steel.
Haizhe awkwardly withdrew her hand.
“Ah, ah, sorry… just forget I said anything.”
“Xiao Hong Mao, what’s wrong with you?”
Huahua looked puzzled.
That expression wasn’t one you’d have while eavesdropping on the spring palace downstairs.
“Shh—”
Luozining made a shushing gesture and listened carefully.
Maybe she just misheard.
“Look, you have to bend your arm like this. Yes, and move your waist too!”
“But… this is so tiring!”
“It’s tiring now, yes, but it’ll be much easier later. Keep at it, it’s all for your future!”
No way!
The voice sounds more and more like Old Deng!
Luozining jumped up in an instant and stormed out the door.
“Xiao Hong Mao, where are you going?”
“Downstairs.”
“Eh eh eh? Isn’t that bad? It’s not like they’re forging copper or forcing anyone downstairs—wouldn’t disturbing them be too…”
Huahua blushed, trying to persuade her.
Actually, she wanted to keep listening.
If she wanted to have more fun with Mistress later, how could she let Xiao Hong Mao ruin it?
***
“They’re disturbing the peace! Opening the window and doing that kind of thing is ruining social morals!”
“Then just yell at them from upstairs to keep it down.”
“Do you really think people who do that kind of thing care about that?”
Luozining’s forehead darkened; she wanted nothing more than to storm downstairs and deal with that Old Deng herself.
The voice sounded like Old Deng’s, and he even knows fitness tips, but it was also a child’s voice…
This was practically a smoking gun!
“Wait, wait, wait! You’re overreacting! Even so, you can’t go provoking them! Call the police, just say there’s prostitution going on!”
“How naive! Do you think the police would bother investigating a hotel of this scale?”
The burly man dragged the two Magical Girls downstairs, arriving at the door of the room.
Just as he was about to knock forcefully, another voice sounded from nearby.
“What are you doing here?”
“Ah!?”
Haizhe and Huahua, dragged down reluctantly, snapped to attention upon seeing the newcomer, frantically shaking Xiao Hong Mao’s arm.
“Broken-Winged Butterfly Lady!”
“Eh?!”
Luozining also turned her head in surprise.
Broken-Winged Butterfly stood there with arms crossed, a smile that looked like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, radiating an icy chill.
“Don’t forget, every word and action you take represents the entire Magical Girl community. I won’t allow any unreasonable behavior.”
“B-but…”
“What? Are the people inside this room some of your acquaintances to be so worked up?”
What—
Luozining was speechless.
Family scandals mustn’t be aired in public, and this would expose her true identity.
It might even reveal how she used Shen Xing Li Zi Fusion to turn her Old Deng into a little Deng!
“I…”
“Go back. Don’t make a scene here.”
Broken-Winged Butterfly pointed upstairs.
Sigh, no choice. If it were someone else barging in, Ellera would at most scold and kick them out.
But if it was a Magical Girl?
That was a Bed End.
Ellera, who was getting more and more excited, now saw these wild, fresh, juicy Magical Girls delivered right to her doorstep—wouldn’t she just drag them away and start working on them?
Even if the plan was to use Xiao Hong Mao and the others to test Ellera’s reaction, this wasn’t the time. That could wait until tomorrow.
And besides—
【What was Manjusaka thinking? She even called Xiao Hong Mao here!】
Broken-Winged Butterfly was speechless when she saw that Xiao Hong Mao was among the visitors.
Xiao Hong Mao was already a guaranteed Shi Xi member, possessed Shen Xing Li Zi, yet Manjusaka dared to have her stay in the same hotel as Ellera?!
Broken-Winged Butterfly did not believe Xiao Hong Mao was Ellera’s daughter.
That question earlier—“Are these people in your room?”—was just casual banter.
What a joke. If a Shi Xi member with Shen Xing Li Zi was actually Ellera’s daughter, the world would be insane.
The Magical Girls were heading for their darkest hour!
Darkness was descending!
“What are you still standing there for? Go back!”
Seeing Xiao Hong Mao still unmoved, Broken-Winged Butterfly’s tone grew sterner.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to cause trouble.”
Under the pressure of the senior, Luozining lowered her head, unable to stay any longer, and prepared to leave.
Clack!
Bang!
The door was suddenly slammed open, and Luoyou appeared, wrapped only in a towel.
“No way, no way! So noisy. If you’re going to discuss something, can’t you do it somewhere else?”
“Eh?”
A drop of sweat rolled down Luozining’s nose.
Ah, it’s Ellera.
That settles it… or so she thought!
“Senior…?”
Luozining turned around but found that Broken-Winged Butterfly had vanished without a trace.
What?!
Where did she go?
Help, aahhhhhh!!
Broken-Winged Butterfly had hidden as soon as she heard footsteps inside.
What a joke! If she got caught now, and Ellera said whatever in front of so many juniors, what would happen to her reputation?!
At this moment, the little female demon who opened the door met with sudden cardiac arrest.
“Ah, ah… isn’t this Ellera? What a coincidence! Ahahaha.”
Luozining forced a dry laugh.
Behind her, Haizhe and Huahua turned pale and started trembling.
【Why the hell are you here?!】
Luoyou screamed silently in terror.
Could it be her phone’s location?
Impossible, the phone should be in another hotel, turned off with the SIM removed.
If it could be found, that’d be a miracle!
Could this traitor have used some state-of-the-art tech, only available to national systems, to catch her in the act? Surely not!
Calm down! Stay calm!
“Hiss—inhale… exhale…”
Luoyou took deep breaths in front of them, repeating over and over.
The silence during this made Luozining and the others want to run away immediately, but they were afraid that in that moment of turning around, Ellera would catch them and ruin their purity from behind.
“Oh my~ Didn’t expect to run into you here…”
Luoyou licked her lips, exuding a seductive aura.
“Lingering outside someone’s door, planning to come in and join?”
She then shifted her gaze to Huahua behind the traitor and said, “Last time at the Jiuming Sea I didn’t toy with you, felt it was a pity. So you came looking for me again?”
“N-no, it’s not like that… I, I just…”
Huahua was so scared tears began to spill.
Mistress… I’m sorry! Huahua might have to… take on someone else’s shape today.
Luozining supported the weak-legged Huahua onto Haizhe and whispered, “You two go ahead. This mess is my fault. I can’t drag you into it.”
The moment she said this, before Haizhe and Huahua could respond, Luoyou almost exploded.
Don’t leave, damn it!
She didn’t dare say too much to Luozining, for fear of making a mistake, which would only direct suspicion to her own comrades.
Broken-Winged Butterfly was in the next room, probably already aware of what was happening outside.
If Luozining acted strangely, they’d be suspected!
If pushed into a corner with nowhere to retreat, the only option would be to sleep with this traitor’s companions as well.
【Don’t blame me, Zining, this is all your fault!】
“Dear, is someone out there?”
At that moment, Mistress walked over holding a pair of weapons capable of crushing a person’s skull.
Her voluptuous figure struck Luozining and the others like a ten-thousand-point critical hit.
“Nothing much, just some pushy salespeople.”
“Salespeople?”
Mistress looked at the few outside with a coquettish glance but didn’t recognize them.
“Well then, come on in~ I just drank an energy drink, full of power now~”
“Then go wait for me in the bathroom!”
Luoyou’s eyes lit up; the opportunity had arrived!
After sending Mistress away, she turned back and eyed Luozining and the others up and down.
Pfft~
A laugh burst out.
That completely set Luozining off.
