Su Mu took a deep breath.
“I don’t know.”
The moment those words left her mouth, Tang Nai’s gaze turned teasing.
“Hey, hey, you couldn’t be… impotent, could you?”
“Get lost!” Su Mu snapped back, then fell silent as she blushed, a faint crimson tinting her cheeks.
“Did I hit the mark?” Tang Nai let out a light giggle.
Her laughter was as enchanting as silver bells, but her behavior was that of a complete brat, which only served to irritate Su Mu further.
Su Mu usually had excellent composure, but she simply couldn’t handle Tang Nai.
This girl’s Dark Magic Power could come surging forth as if it cost nothing at all.
“I’ve never tried.”
“What do you mean ‘never tried’? Didn’t you have that thing under your bed?”
Being teased like this by Tang Nai actually caused Su Mu to calm down, and she reined in her inner embarrassment.
“Humph, that’s another question entirely.”
She also knew how to leave people hanging and set traps, and this move effectively piqued Tang Nai’s curiosity.
“Fine, then ask your question quickly.”
Tang Nai didn’t dawdle.
In any case, the things Su Mu wanted to know weren’t particularly embarrassing for her.
On the contrary, she was practically dancing on the line of Su Mu’s sense of shame…
“Do you often have your powers sealed by my mom and then get your butt spanked?”
The smile froze on Tang Nai’s face.
“No.”
“No.”…
The moment the words were spoken, it was clear how clumsy her lie was.
“Whether I have that thing or not, don’t I know best? On the other hand, someone just told two lies in a row. Truly… lies don’t hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade—Little Tang Nai, don’t worry, big sister Su Mu won’t punish your little bottom for it. Mmh—”
Su Mu was pinned down on the sofa.
Half-panicked and half-playful, she looked up at the silver-haired girl above her, carefully observing her lovely face hidden in the shadows.
Aided by a faint sliver of moonlight no brighter than a firefly, she caught a glimpse of a flaw trying to escape—a trace of a blush that hadn’t quite faded in time.
“You’ve moved against me exceptionally often today. It seems your composure isn’t even as strong as Lando’s.”
“Humph.” Tang Nai remained silent, merely straddling Su Mu’s slender waist.
She casually reached out to the side, her hand accurately gripping the handle of the Great Hammer.
“Answer my previous question.”
There was a clear hint of gloom in Tang Nai’s voice.
While her tone didn’t differ much from her usual flat delivery, it felt particularly out of place.
Su Mu’s eyes flickered as she gave an ambiguous answer.
“That would be, of course—studying.”
“Studying what?” Tang Nai pressed.
“That’s the next question. Mmh—”
Su Mu’s mouth was suddenly blocked by a delicate, gel-like object.
Feeling the soft texture against her lips, her eyes suddenly widened, and she began to struggle vigorously.
“Pah! What are you doing… wait, where did you get a pacifier?”
There was a faint, crystalline shimmer.
But how did Tang Nai make something appear out of thin air?
Why hadn’t she noticed anything?
“I was thinking, you must have realized a long time ago that your body wasn’t quite right, haven’t you? Unlike others your age, your muscles never developed, your physique remained exceptionally petite, and your voice was always a soft, neutral tone. For a teenage, those things are very sensitive points, right?”
Tang Nai continued her questioning nonchalantly while lightly tossing the Great Hammer.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s pupils constricted slightly, but she quickly cleared her throat to feign composure.
“It’s about time you got off me. You’re the one who suggested we ask each other questions. Well, I’m taking it back. Now it’s my turn to ask and yours to answer. Tell me, have you been planning to undergo feminization for a long time now?”
Su Mu’s lips twitched, ‘How could someone be so brazen?’
The main issue was that this position was terrible; Tang Nai’s legs were clamped firmly around her waist, pressing against her navel, making it difficult for her to sit up and hard to breathe.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I was just a bit delicate looking back then. My ID card said it clearly: Male!!”
“I don’t think so…”
With a solemn expression, Tang Nai lifted the hammer, which was larger than her own head, and moved the handle toward Su Mu.
The latter quickly turned her head away, even though she knew getting hit by this thing didn’t actually hurt much.
“I’m asking you, do you even remember what your old body looked like?”
Su Mu remained silent, keeping her head turned away and refusing to pay Tang Nai any mind.
“How do you expect me to prove something like that?”
“But I can prove you’re a girl…”
“Hey, what are you doing? My mom is right there…”
Tang Nai glanced at the sleeping Su Ya and gave a wicked smile.
“So what you’re saying is, it’s okay if your mom isn’t here?”
“I didn’t say that! Move that away!”
Su Mu pushed Tang Nai’s hand aside, her cheeks so red they looked as if they might bleed.
“I say, back when you first met Lando, were you also like this? Playing hard to get, pushing and shoving a few times just for show before lying down and accepting it?”
“What does that have to do with you?” Su Mu huffed.
“It has everything to do with me. If my subordinate Magical Girl, Miss Irina, were to be bullied by a Strange Person with transformation abilities one day and ended up being toyed with willingly, that would be a disaster,” Tang Nai rambled.
Su Mu propped herself up with her elbows and struggled to sit upright.
Her strength was nothing to scoff at now, and with a petite frame like Tang Nai’s, there was no way the girl could keep her pinned…
Su Mu’s gaze shifted from disdain to shock because Tang Nai remained clamped to her waist in that same position.
As Su Mu sat up, Tang Nai began to slide down bit by bit.
Her long, silver-gray hair fell back.
A flash of excitement crossed Tang Nai’s eyes, followed by a trace of subtle panic.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Su Mu’s shoulders to steady herself.
“You weren’t even afraid to leap from Naraku Tower, yet you’re afraid of this tiny height?”
Tang Nai rolled her eyes at Su Mu.
“You can fly, can’t you?”
“I’d have to be crazy.”
Tang Nai fell silent, and Su Mu narrowed her eyes.
“You can fly, right?”
“So what if I can?”
“You’re like a village woman who’s stupid enough to mock the Wright brothers.”
Feeling Tang Nai’s legs still dangling uselessly beside her, Su Mu felt as if she were gently holding a freshly baked cake.
“Put me down.”
Su Mu let go, releasing the gray-haired girl who was as light as a lamb, not daring to look her in the eye.
‘She must be both embarrassed and angry now, itching to make fun of me.’
The expected scene didn’t happen.
Tang Nai calmly sat back in her original spot and looked at her quietly.
“You really are different from other people.”
Su Mu was slightly startled by those words.
“You get bullied quite severely, yet you still subconsciously care about others’ feelings. You’re completely different from your sharp-edged persona online.”
Su Mu’s eyes widened slightly.
“So you did all that just to test me?”
Tang Nai nodded.
“Then you really are a person with a twisted personality.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“I wasn’t complimenting you! As the boss of the Magical Girls, could you please stop acting so unlikable?”
Tang Nai thought for a moment before nodding again.
“You’re right. So, I don’t just want you to become a Magical Girl. I want you to replace me as the leader of the Magical Girls, taking the position that originally belonged to Ye Qing.”
