Chapter 170: Seen Through!

“Zhizhi, Mommy’s feeling a bit unwell here, give me a massage.”

“Mommy, you know, even though I’m a bit of a celebrity now, always in the spotlight, but the distance between me and Zhizhi hasn’t changed at all.

If you ever have any trouble at work, you can come to Mommy and vent anytime~”

“How about… you stay for dinner tonight, Zhizhi? Mommy will make a biiig~~ table of dishes, just tell me whatever you want to eat~”

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because you’re embarrassed? It’s okay, even if you want to eat some protected animal, it’s fine. Or—wait, is it that… you want to eat… wa, da, xi?”

After holding back to her absolute limit, Zhizhi suddenly shot up, her face flushed red, even her voice was cracking.

“I’m done washing!”

She slumped to the floor like her bones had been pulled out.

She sat down, she got up again.

Luo You looked at the panting Zhizhi, a thoughtful look on her face.

Hmm, Zhizhi must have an extremely pure magical girl bloodline; she’s a natural-born 姛, that’s undeniable.

But that alone isn’t enough to prove her tastes.

So, just now Luo You had deliberately tested her.

When discussing official matters, Zhizhi’s technique was very normal and proper; when it came to personal topics, Zhizhi started to cross the line a bit; and as soon as they started roleplaying, Zhizhi’s hands got really strange.

Even though Zhizhi did a good job not turning it into some bathhouse-style scrubbing, and whenever she was about to cross the line, she’d force herself to pull her fingers back.

But who is Luo You? How could she not know what those gestures meant?

[No way… Zhizhi’s actually… got that kind of terrible kink?]

Luo You had considered all sorts of things, even the possibility that Zhizhi liked furries, but she’d never imagined Zhizhi might have a mother complex!

[Could she have agreed to do Mother-Daughter Play with me in the posts because of this?]

She couldn’t figure out why she hadn’t guessed this before; it was her first time encountering someone like this.

But she still didn’t know if Zhizhi was ‘in the process of being influenced’ or if she was ‘already influenced’.

If she’d already had this before they met, then Zhizhi’s approach must have been with ulterior motives!

Scary! Terrifying!

Luo You never imagined that, as a mother herself, she could actually get… get picked up by another… by another girl!

If Zhizhi was only now being influenced, then it must have been the first time they discussed ‘family’ that started it for her.

But…

Does it make a difference?

If she’s not hooked, just let her get hooked, and even sink in deep.

Interesting…

Luo You—Dragon King—grinned crookedly.

Normally, she felt nothing like this for that rebellious daughter Luo Zining, but this kind of performance-based Mother-Daughter Play really is a bit exciting, huh?

For Luo You, who’s tasted all the rarest delicacies, what she hasn’t experienced is always the most precious.

Luo You snuck a glance at Zhizhi, who’d almost caught her breath again, and said, “Next, how about Mommy help you wash?”

“No need!”

Zhizhi refused flatly, without even thinking, “I feel like you would do weird things.”

“Eh… even Mommy can’t?”

“No way, I’ll never acknowledge a demon mom like you, you little vixen! I’m only playing along with your act for the posts!”

“Tch~~”

Let’s let Zhizhi go for now.

As long as the green hills remain, we don’t fear running out of firewood.

As long as you keep calling me ‘Mommy’, how could you ever escape from my grasp? You can’t, hehehahaha!

A magical girl like you, with a mother complex, was born to be eaten by Mommy! Mua! Mua! Mua! Hoohoo, haha! Resist? Resistance is useless, haha!

Luo You didn’t plan to expose her.

Zhizhi probably knew just how much her XP would get people talking; if she pointed it out directly, Zhizhi might never come to visit again.

“I’m heading back!”

With that, she slammed the door shut with a bang.

Luo You nodded, not stopping her.

She understood~ After all, someone with a mother complex is probably full of pent-up frustration right now.

She needs to find a place to let it out on her own.

“Sigh~ How pitiful~ She’s suffering so much but can only hide alone in her little room to deal with it. If she’d just be honest with Mommy, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”

Luo You leisurely finished her bath, and after going out, had a wonderful nap.

Now that she knew Zhizhi’s XP, all her future strategies were clear!

Conquering the Fourth Seat was just around the corner, haha!

But it seemed she went a bit too far this time, since she didn’t see Zhizhi for several days.

Luo You’s plan came to a halt for a while.

That day—

“Lord Jinlin! There’s been a terrorist attack on Nanyuan Road! Requesting support!”

Hearing the call from her phone, Luo You’s face twisted as she ate breakfast.

“A terrorist attack?”

“Yes, there are three perpetrators, all armed, and they’re Ling Ability Users. It’s not clear if they’re fusion warriors. There have already been more than ten casualties on the third floor of Qianhuo Mall! We need to mobilize immediately!”

Qiu Yu reported the scene in an orderly fashion.

She couldn’t handle this kind of event herself and could only leave it to the calm Lord Jinlin.

After all, she was a future Ten Seat!

“Fine, just wait a moment.”

Luo You accepted the task unwillingly.

This kind of situation really should be handled by the Government Department, and magical girls rarely benefit from intervening in these events.

But in her previous life, she was the top enforcer of the evil organization, so this was her forte.

As long as she was more ruthless than the enemy, she would be invincible!

Qianhuo Mall.

The scene was cordoned off in a rush.

It had only been a few minutes since the incident, the armed police and Special Department hadn’t arrived yet, only magical girls could make it here at the very first moment.

On the third floor of the mall, intense flames blazed.

It was like a titanic beast was rampaging inside, roaring and smashing, with debris and even people flying out of the shattered windows, a meat-grinder-like storm of destruction that threatened even those in the plaza outside.

“Lord Jinlin isn’t here yet?”

Qiu Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; with every half minute that passed, more people were injured or killed, they couldn’t wait any longer!

A crackling came through her earpiece.

“Hello? Qiu Yu, Mu Shui, can you hear me?”

“Lord Jinlin! Where are you? The situation here is urgent!”

“I’m already here, but don’t act like I’ve arrived. No matter what happens, I was never here, got it?”

“Eh? Oh… Eh? But, please, can you go save people first!”

“I’m already on it.”

Luo You put away her phone. Right now, she was on the second floor, with screams and booms above her—it was like hell itself.

“Wow, they really went overboard this time.”

It didn’t seem like the world had seen many events of this magnitude, either.

Boom!

The floor above suddenly collapsed, shelves and snack packages rained down, along with a heavily injured woman pinned under the debris.

When she saw Luo You, her eyes, full of tears and despair, showed a glimmer of hope.

“Help… me… I don’t… want to… die…”

The woman’s voice was hoarse and choked with blood, barely audible, as she reached out with a trembling hand.

Luo You locked eyes with her for more than ten seconds.

The woman, still without a response, looked puzzled and her expression gradually turned hopeless.

Why…?

Lord Jinlin…

“Oh, crap, I’m a magical girl now!”

Luo You smacked her forehead, finally remembering her current role.

She’d just been thinking about solving the problem like a villain, and forgot herself for a moment.

“It’s alright, you’re safe now. Let’s go!”
