The already wounded Demon, under such overwhelming firepower, could no longer maintain its forcibly catalyzed body.
Bathed in the purple radiance, it was utterly torn apart.
Chunks of flesh dropped to the ground, dissolving into pitch-black Demonic Energy, which was then swiftly purified and erased by Xia Mo’s magical cannon.
In less than half a minute, the battlefield that had resembled a living hell just moments before was completely cleansed of that black mist.
Crawling out of the ruins while clutching her arm, Luo Shuangyue saw this scene, her expression frozen in disbelief.
Good grief, another breakthrough in the heat of battle? Truly worthy of being a Magical Girl.
But Xia Mo, isn’t your weapon a bit too excessive? It doesn’t even look like magic anymore!
With the Demonic Energy at the scene completely cleared, Xia Mo’s attention was drawn to a spot where black smoke still lingered.
She directed her newly acquired Floating Cannon at the area and fired, blasting away the top layer of soil.
There, buried deep in the earth, was a card radiating a white glow, marred by several pitch-black cracks.
This must be the very thing both the Serpent Fang and Dark Moth were after—the Sealing Card of the Serpent Demon King.
Reaching out, Xia Mo took the card in hand and quickly flew to Luo Shuangyue’s side, supporting her. “Dark Moth, are you alright? Do you need healing?”
As she spoke, she pressed her head close to Luo Shuangyue, taking a deep breath to memorize the girl’s scent.
As for her question, it was almost pointless.
Luo Shuangyue’s left shoulder was already soaked in blood—one look was enough to know she needed treatment.
“Don’t worry about me, I just need to rest for a bit.” Luo Shuangyue shook her head and pulled her arm from Xia Mo’s grasp.
There was no way she could go back with Xia Mo—wouldn’t that ruin everything?
“But you’re like this now…”
“So you have helpers, but I don’t?” Luo Shuangyue shot back, glancing in another direction.
“They’re coming.”
Before she finished speaking, Jiu Ye and Hei Ting rushed over from either side.
Hei Ting supported Luo Shuangyue, while Jiu Ye bared her teeth at Xia Mo like a protective kitten.
Looking at Jiu Ye and Hei Ting shielding Luo Shuangyue, Xia Mo’s expression grew complicated.
These two girls exuded an unmistakable Demon aura—they were Demon hybrids.
Though unlike those who lost all reason after modification, this method was still inhumane and dangerous.
“Senior!” Having reverted to her Transformation, Luo Shuangxing hurried over as the battle ended.
This time, she’d come deliberately to expose her identity.
If her big brother really was Dark Moth, then once she revealed herself, there was no way Dark Moth wouldn’t react.
If Dark Moth wasn’t her big brother, it didn’t matter.
After all, she was close with Xia Mo—if enemies targeted Xia Mo, they wouldn’t get anything from her.
So, there was little difference whether her identity was revealed or not.
Her sudden self-revelation truly shocked Luo Shuangyue on a psychological level.
Senior?!
Wait, Luo Shuangxing, why are you here? And why are you calling Xia Mo “senior”?
“She…” Luo Shuangyue stared blankly at Luo Shuangxing, who was now standing by Xia Mo’s side, asking questions.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing exchanged glances, quickly understanding what Luo Shuangxing was trying to do.
So, Xia Mo took the initiative to formally introduce Luo Shuangxing to Dark Moth.
“You’ve probably already guessed, right? She’s Lily of the Valley.”
Luo Shuangyue fell silent.
She’s Lily of the Valley…
Lily of the Valley…
Oh…
Lily of the Valley—the annoying little brat—was actually her own sister?
Why didn’t I realize it sooner? Lily of the Valley looks so much like Mom, and her hair and eye color are the same as my sister’s.
I should have known Lily of the Valley was Shuangxing!
So the reason Lily of the Valley felt like my little sister wasn’t an illusion—she really is my little sister?
Luo Shuangyue was dumbfounded.
So, there were only three people in her family, and all three were Magical Girls? Judging from Xia Mo and Luo Shuangxing’s attitude, they clearly already knew each other’s identities.
So I’m the only one kept in the dark?
I’m exhausted—let it all end.
Luo Shuangyue really wanted to toss her wig to the ground and shout, “I quit acting!”
What’s the point of pretending anymore?
She’d only hidden her identity to keep her sister and childhood friend away from all this.
But now that both were Magical Girls, was there any reason to keep up the act?
None at all!
Her mind was in shambles!
“Dark Moth, we need to go. The Magic Department will be here soon.” Fortunately, Jiu Ye didn’t give Luo Shuangyue a chance to self-destruct.
Shooting a wary glare at the Magical Girl before her, she immediately called for Hei Ting to help the wounded Luo Shuangyue leave.
After the three of Eternal Night departed, Luo Shuangxing turned to Xia Mo with a sweet smile.
Dark Moth’s expression just now was truly priceless.
That mix of shock and disbelief, of despair and resignation, made Luo Shuangxing feel her self-exposure was totally worth it.
Absolutely.
With that expression, Luo Shuangxing was even more convinced of the connection between Dark Moth and her big brother.
“Xia Mo, did you catch her scent?”
Xia Mo nodded with a complicated look.
This was the first time she’d tried to memorize Dark Moth’s scent, and as she did, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she’d known this scent for a long time.
“I did. It feels very familiar.”
“Very familiar, huh… Then maybe our theory is right. Big brother has been hiding so, so many things from us.” Luo Shuangxing’s lips curled into a confident, all-knowing smile.
Big brother, your secret identity has already been exposed!
“Let’s not talk about that for now. What should we do with this card?” Xia Mo shook her head, putting aside those troublesome thoughts.
She still had a Sealing Card in her hand—what was she supposed to do with it?
“Let’s take it back for now. If big brother is Dark Moth, we can just ask her directly why she’s collecting these things. If we can’t get an answer from her, we can ask White Night. Wasn’t this something she left behind?”
Luo Shuangxing thought it was all pretty simple.
They had two sources of information right at hand—big brother and White Night, and one of them was even the creator of the Sealing Card.
Couldn’t they just ask and figure it out? It was so easy, there was nothing to worry about.
“At worst, we just return it—give the card back to White Night.”
