Chapter 27: She Existed

Su Mu saw someone who shouldn’t exist, someone she thought was a fictional character.

It was almost identical to the tentacle witch she had imagined while writing about the invasion of Lando.

The woman in the distance was dressed extremely daringly, with no attempt to conceal her dark yet lustrous skin.

The crop-top she wore barely covered her graceful figure, and the exposed curves of her side breasts were particularly alluring under the play of light and shadow.

Her charm was as aggressive as a wild beast, forcefully prying open the hearts of those who looked at her and awakening their desires for beauty and love.

Su Mu, who locked eyes with her directly, felt her vision waver in an instant, as if she had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms, with only that graceful figure remaining in her sight.

In terms of magical control, compared to Ning Xi, Su Mu was like a toddler just learning to walk, utterly powerless against the erosion.

Seeing this, Lu Shan felt something was wrong.

She shook Su Mu’s body frantically, while the people around them stared in shock at this unexpected intruder, but Lu Shan had no mind for them at the moment.

After all, it wouldn’t be long before they succumbed to Ning Xi’s domain and lost their minds.

This was, after all, a C-class mutant attack, a disaster that could affect half the city.

It wasn’t as panic-inducing as the arrival of a monster, but the moment Ning Xi set foot here, she had enveloped everything around her in her unique domain of desire.

Using magic to stimulate people’s biological instincts, she made them unconsciously discard their moral restraints and become beasts driven by desire.

Such an ability seemed tailor-made for causing chaos.

It truly embodied the phrase “beautiful disaster.”

In just a few days, Ning Xi had gradually mastered her abilities and was now a genuine C-class threat, capable of easily crushing any ordinary human weapon.

Unfortunately, the only magical girl nearby who could protect Su Mu, Lando, would need at least a few more minutes to sense the anomaly and rush over from the Snow King.

By then, Su Mu would have already been taken away by Ning Xi.

Ning Xi focused all her attention on Su Mu, observing the pink-haired magical girl through her magical vision.

Such weak magic was hardly what one would expect from a magical girl, but it was definitely her.

As she pondered, she leaped, her legs bursting with astonishing elasticity, and in an instant, she appeared in the classroom along with the shards of glass flying everywhere.

The sharp fragments sprayed out, scratching many people, but they all sat there dazedly, staring intently at Ning Xi with fervor, oblivious to the pain and blood on their bodies.

At this moment, Ning Xi was less than ten meters away from Su Mu.

The dense dark magic flooded into Su Mu’s body at Ning Xi’s command, easily suppressing the remaining resistance of her magic.

However, a petite black-haired girl remained clear-headed in front of Ning Xi.

Her body spontaneously absorbed and expelled the surging dark magic, staining her skin a rosy red, but her aura remained perfectly composed.

“Miss, you seem quite extraordinary. I wonder if you would like to be my…slave?”

Lu Shan bit her lower lip tightly.

Her ability to confront directly was poor, and even though she was also C-class, she felt utterly incapable of fighting back, which left her both frustrated and helpless.

The most important point was that, as Mi Xian, she couldn’t attack Ning Xi, unless she could somehow make Ning Xi stay here forever without anyone noticing.

Su Mu leaned silently against the backrest, her eyes lifeless, neither like the puppets controlled by desire nor showing any signs of being awake, which made Lu Shan increasingly anxious.

“Miss, why don’t you speak? It’s rare to see someone who can remain clear-headed and rational under my magic.”

Ning Xi’s appearance was the same as when she had escaped, but her aura had changed drastically.

The core of her mutant power had been thoroughly saturated by dark magic, making her even more enchanting and sinister.

The mutant combined the powers of a magical girl and a monster, with the latter now completely overshadowing the former, to the point where it was impossible to distinguish her from a monster.

Alarms rang in Lu Shan’s heart.

She could sense countless invisible tentacles extending from behind Ning Xi, surrounding her, ready to pierce her skin at any moment.

Even though she was confident that she could escape into the shadows at any time, she couldn’t take Su Mu with her.

Or rather, she had no reason to go to such lengths for Su Mu in the first place.

She began to retreat subconsciously, and soon her body hit the corner of a table.

Her hand touched a wire, connecting a handheld device to a star-shaped emblem.

Although Lu Shan didn’t know that the star-shaped emblem was actually a magic storage device, she had seen many magical girls use it to transform, so she decisively pulled it off and tried to place it on Su Mu’s chest.

But before the star-shaped emblem could touch Su Mu, a tentacle suddenly appeared and knocked Lu Shan’s hand away.

“Don’t try to struggle. Just answer my question obediently.”

From the beginning, Ning Xi knew that Lu Shan was no ordinary person, but she still spoke these words to her without any fear.

The reason was simple: she had developed a desire for Lu Shan.

Now, she was loyal only to her own desires.

In the face of her desires, any threat had to take a back seat.

This was clearly an abnormal state, perhaps a result of Ning Xi’s increased power, but Lu Shan had no time to think about it.

She had only one choice now: to escape.

“Senior, I’m sorry.”

Although Su Mu still held her lifeline, wasn’t she currently in a deep sleep?

As for what happened next, she would have to make plans later.

In the worst-case scenario, if Su Mu fell into Ning Xi’s hands, she would drag her down with her.

But as long as Ning Xi handed Su Mu over to the Monster Association as a token of loyalty, there would still be room for negotiation.

Under Ning Xi’s gaze, Lu Shan gently pulled up her hood.

As the shadows completely obscured her face, she dissolved into the darkness and vanished without a trace.

“What a slippery little cat. That sweet aura just now, it was a monster.”

Ning Xi made no futile attempt to stop her.

Perhaps no one in this city could stop Mi Xian if she was determined to flee.

It was just a dessert that slipped away, while the main course was still obediently waiting here.

She used her finger to lift Su Mu’s chin, her charming eyes lingering repeatedly on her doll-like delicate cheeks.

“Quite a catch. I think I’ll keep you by my side.”

The Snow King was unusually deserted today, leaving Luo Jialan boredly wiping the plastic cups of her shaking milk tea over and over again.

For some reason, she felt a dark cloud hanging over her heart, and this premonition was growing stronger by the moment.

A burst of unrestrained magical fluctuation suddenly shot out from the distant sky, causing her to look sharply towards the direction of the teaching building.

There was no mistaking this aura.

Without even asking for leave from the shop owner, in the next moment, a bright white luster covered her body.

The silver military knife flashed an unprecedentedly cold and sharp light, its cutting edge even more formidable than the teeth of a shark.

In fact, the main reason Lando despised Su Mu’s fan fiction was because of the “tentacle witch” that Su Mu had fabricated.

That character actually existed once.
