Luo Linglan and Ning Xi were the two key pawns firmly held under Tang Mo’s control at this moment.
Setting aside their connection to Luo Jialan, both possessed B-level strength.
Although they couldn’t fully unleash it under manipulation, their power was still impressive.
“It seems you know everything, so you should also understand that I have no intention of breaking the rules.”
Amidst the tension, Tang Mo stared intently at Tang Nai’s ever-present smiling face, a hint of a provocative smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Tang Nai had dealt her many defeats—that was true.
Tang Nai had never lost; she was an abnormal existence—and that was also true.
But it was precisely because of this that Tang Nai deserved to be defeated.
‘I want to tear apart her hypocritical smile and see if my dear sister will lose her composure once everything slips beyond her control.’
After all the effort and planning, wasn’t it just to wrest a victory from her?
Tang Mo admitted that she was really just being childish, deliberately antagonizing Tang Nai.
Although such a motive was immature, in this respect, she had fooled many people.
Few in the Combat Division could guess her true intentions, but as long as they were satisfied, it didn’t matter.
Besides, many wanted to see Tang Nai suffer a setback, but none dared to speak up.
Thinking of those people, Tang Mo couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
‘Cowardly useless fools, this is exactly why you’ll always fall under her hands.’
“Yeah, yeah, I know, don’t worry. I really won’t interfere, even if you drag those two unreliable women of Lando to cause trouble.”
Tang Nai spoke carelessly while yawning, then casually pulled out a handheld console from her pocket and began playing a game.
Her relaxed, carefree attitude immediately annoyed Tang Mo.
What does this mean?
Is she finally giving up on that ridiculously childish Magical Girl cultivation plan?
“What do you mean?”
“Here, take it.”
Tang Nai detached one side of the handheld console’s controller and tossed it to Tang Mo.
Naturally, Tang Mo refused to catch it, but the strangely moving little controller still hit her right on the nose.
“Don’t let it fall on the ground, or I’ll punish you.”
Tang Nai’s words came simultaneously.
Tang Mo could only resentfully kick the bounced controller up and clutch it in her hand, wishing she could crush it but dared not.
In the end, only a few blue veins appeared on the back of her hand.
After all, Tang Nai was exactly the kind of person who’d get mad over such bizarre reasons.
“Come on, play with me. It’s been so long; let me see if you’ve improved.”
Tang Mo clenched her silver teeth, nearly twisting her nose in frustration.
Her heart was entirely with Luo Jialan—’how could she possibly have the time to do this?’
Tang Nai said this because ever since they were children, she had forced Tang Mo to play video games with her, especially this fighting game themed on Magical Girls and Strange Persons.
Tang Mo never had the chance to refuse.
Facing Tang Nai’s excellent skills, she was always crushed one-sidedly.
But she did have one condition to propose.
“Wait, I have a condition.”
“This time, I won’t let you have the blue controller.”
“I didn’t say that!”
— When they were young, Tang Mo once suspected she kept losing because Tang Nai’s blue controller might be cheating, so she made that demand—but naturally, nothing changed.
Tang Mo twitched her mouth, calming herself down, unwilling to be led by the nose by Tang Nai or to revisit those unpleasant times with her.
Honestly, she wanted to use this chance to make some other demands—requirements beneficial to her long-cherished Thousand Faces plan.
But when the words were about to leave her mouth, they changed.
“This time, you’re not allowed to use that white-haired Magical Girl.”
“… Fine.”
Whether it was just an illusion or not, Tang Nai’s expression seemed to relax a little.
‘My childish little sister, you don’t stand a chance. The reason I’ve been letting you win is just because I didn’t want you to suffer the humiliation of crying when you lost last time.’
***
“Had enough? At least give me a proper finish.”
Luo Jialan’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she stretched out, lying flat on the big bed.
“I know you’re anxious; only one minute left.”
Su Mu was already gasping for breath. She had to admit she was a bit overwhelmed, at least under these restrictions.
Irina forced her to maintain strict control, not allowing Luo Jialan to enjoy any sweet relief casually; otherwise, her corruption process would accelerate wildly once fatigue set in.
She had to keep Luo Jialan in a constant state of itchy anticipation, though it seemed somewhat unsuccessful now.
“Come on, Little Su Mu, I’m almost at the finishing line here. I’ve worked hard all day without rest, but you’re already about to give up after just a few minutes?”
Irina scolded, though she knew she was probably no better than Su Mu.
But standing by was easier than doing.
‘You think I want this? It sounds easy to say.’
Su Mu thought defiantly as she fiercely added more effort, trying to grind the brick into a mirror, but almost got a cramp in her calf.
Why did this suddenly turn into an endurance test?
Seeing the light in Luo Jialan’s eyes gradually fade, Su Mu gritted her teeth, determined to show her some color.
‘The lighting is just right, close enough, can you see clearly now?’
Though there was no response, Su Mu could feel Luo Jialan’s delicate body suddenly tense up tighter, which made her somewhat proud—until shock swiftly replaced her pride.
“Where did you get the strength, ugh—”
Though Luo Jialan’s hands couldn’t move, she could still straighten her waist and lean forward.
This gave her the chance to toy with Su Mu’s little pride.
Her small feet pressed firmly against the soft bed, releasing all the frustration and helplessness that Su Mu had been suppressing.
Su Mu’s pink hair fell down, repeatedly tickling her face as she struggled; her vision filled with pink, but that no longer mattered.
It was all the same.
“I caught you, Su Mu, you smell so good.”
“Annoying, shut up!”
Su Mu admitted she was a little carried away, but as long as she could keep Luo Jialan interested, making a small sacrifice wasn’t so bad.
‘How much longer? Irina…’
“Two more minutes.”
‘But you just said only one minute left? Forget her, I’m the one who’s about to break down. If I don’t have the strength to flip her over later, it’ll be over for me!’
Irina giggled, “I was kidding, it’s already done. But I see you’re not finished yet—that’s why I gave you two minutes…”
Su Mu thought for a moment.
Makes sense.
She couldn’t let Irina take over at a time like this.
“Don’t worry, I have a way to help clear the Dark Magic Corruption from her. You only need to think about how to reward yourself well now, Little Su Mu. Good job.”
Irina’s gray eyes brightened, turning a faint icy blue under the light, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Hehe, actually, having her take over now wouldn’t be so bad.
