Normally, Luo Shuangxing would never suspect that her sister-in-law would be snatched away by another girl.
But this was not a normal situation, and Dark Moth was clearly not a normal person.
Every aspect of this guy reeked of strangeness, especially her attitude towards Sister Xiamo.
It was like strangeness’s mom opened the door for strangeness—utterly bizarre!
Licking ears, pressing a finger to her mouth, and that joyful expression on her face—it was truly hard not to suspect Dark Moth’s feelings for Sister Xiamo.
Luo Shuangxing had never imagined that her older brother’s rival wouldn’t be another man, but a woman!
A plain childhood sweetheart versus a strong, ill-tempered, divinely-sent rival.
Wow, Luo Shuangxing suddenly felt that her older brother was in a bit of danger.
It’s well-known that childhood sweethearts can’t beat divinely-sent rivals, and now this divinely-sent one has so many buffs stacked.
Not only is she a magical girl like Sister Xiamo, but she also has a bad-yet-good relationship with Sister Xiamo.
Isn’t this the super common protagonist couple setup in anime?
“Sister Xiamo, who is she?” Luo Shuangxing glared at Dark Moth with full hostility.
If her current identity didn’t prevent her from knowing Dark Moth, she would have already blown up at Dark Moth, wouldn’t she?
Knowing the true identity of this bad woman in front of her, yet having to pretend not to know anything, truly made Luo Shuangxing feel suffocated.
“She’s… my friend. You can call her Miss Dark Moth.” Xiamo was also helpless.
Dark Moth only knew her identity now, so she still had to introduce Dark Moth to Luo Shuangxing, who knew Dark Moth’s identity.
This feeling was indescribably strange.
“That’s right, a friend,” Luo Shuangyue nodded repeatedly from the side.
If I hadn’t personally seen you and Sister Xiamo fighting, I’d believe you, Luo Shuangxing muttered softly.
“Ahem, Dark Moth, why are you here?” Xiamo also realized that if this continued, the atmosphere here would completely collapse, so she quickly changed the subject.
At the same time, she reminded Dark Moth not to forget she had serious business to attend to.
“There are some things that concern me here. Aren’t you here for the same thing?” Luo Shuangxing shot Xiamo a look that said, ‘Don’t you know why I’m here?’
Are you kidding? I gave you all your intel. Is it strange for me to be here?
“Aren’t we here to play?” Luo Shuangxing at this moment was also playing the role of a little girl who knew nothing about anything.
However, this sentence also contained her true thoughts.
After all, Xiamo hadn’t told her why they were coming to the zoo before.
Although the excuse for taking leave was discovering an anomaly at the zoo, Luo Shuangxing had never taken that seriously.
But now, after Dark Moth’s remark, Luo Shuangxing suddenly realized that perhaps the excuse Sister Xiamo gave wasn’t necessarily just an excuse.
“Yes, we’re here to play, and then to do some things incidentally… I’ve already been to the reptile section; there’s nothing interesting to see there,” Luo Shuangyue echoed, then informed Xiamo of her current findings.
“And the beasts here seem more agitated than usual, which is indeed a bit concerning…”
“Indeed, we also noticed on our way here that the animals in the zoo are wilder than usual.” When it came to serious matters, Xiamo set aside her embarrassment and began conversing with Dark Moth as if no one else was around.
This scene, however, made Luo Shuangxing feel even more threatened.
The relationship between Sister Xiamo and Dark Moth was clearly not ordinary.
Look at how they were talking now, just like old friends who had known each other for many years!
But just a few days ago, Sister Xiamo and Dark Moth seemed to be at odds… Could this be the charm of a divinely-sent archenemy?
After exchanging information with Xiamo, Luo Shuangyue noticed that a certain girl next to her was looking at her strangely.
What was with that look, like she was a thief? Had she stolen something from this little girl?
Dark Moth’s identity wasn’t on good terms with Luo Shuangxing, but she wasn’t a thief!
“It’s almost noon. Shall we go for lunch together?” Looking up at the sky, Luo Shuangyue asked Xiamo.
Xiamo looked at the displeased Luo Shuangxing beside her and shook her head apologetically, “I don’t think so.”
After all, she had a child with her who didn’t like Dark Moth.
Luo Shuangyue saw Xiamo’s subtle gesture and understood what was going on.
“Alright, then I’ll continue looking around elsewhere.”
It wasn’t until Luo Shuangyue disappeared into the crowd that Luo Shuangxing let out a fierce hmph.
“That darned person, I really want to punch her in the face!”
“Eh? Isn’t Miss Dark Moth a very nice person? Why do you dislike her so much, Lily of the Valley?” Xiao Mimi, completely unaware of the complex emotions involved, looked bewildered.
Luo Shuangxing and Miss Dark Moth were probably meeting for the first time, so why did they seem like mortal enemies?
Luo Shuangxing glared at Xiao Mimi irritably, “Stupid cat!”
“?”
“Don’t you think she looks very familiar?”
Very familiar? Xiao Mimi thought carefully, but she didn’t find her that familiar. Wasn’t it just white hair and red eyes?
Seeing Xiao Mimi’s expression of deep thought that yielded no results, Luo Shuangxing covered her forehead and sighed helplessly.
Calling Xiao Mimi a stupid cat was truly accurate; wasn’t Miss Dark Moth clearly Dark Moth at first glance?
Their hair color and eye color were the same!
“She’s Dark Moth!” Luo Shuangxing raised her hand in a frightening gesture, “She’s that big bad guy!”
“Eh? Dark Moth? She’s Dark Moth?” Xiao Mimi was stunned.
With Luo Shuangxing’s hint, she finally connected Dark Moth and Miss Dark Moth.
Hmm, if she thought about it carefully, there did seem to be some commonalities between the two?
However, these commonalities weren’t enough for Xiao Mimi to directly link Dark Moth and Dark Moth.
“Yes, she’s Dark Moth, so Sister Xiamo, why is Dark Moth’s attitude towards you so strange?” Luo Shuangxing then directed her scrutinizing gaze at Xiamo.
This wasn’t a topic that could be brushed off with a word or two.
Any normal person could tell that there was something wrong with the relationship between Dark Moth and Xiamo.
This was clearly not the relationship enemies should have!
“I don’t know what’s going on either. Before, her attitude towards me was very bad. Now, it might be because we have a common enemy, so her attitude towards me has improved a little,” Xiamo scratched her cheek, unsure how to explain.
She didn’t have mind-reading abilities, so how could she know what Dark Moth was thinking?
“I have a feeling Dark Moth wants to snatch you away, Sister Xiamo, and make you her ‘fortress wife’?” Luo Shuangxing muttered, narrowing her eyes.
“…That, that can’t be, right?”
