Luo You was at Xue’s house.
Hypnosis, hypnosis, hypnosis—hypnotize hard.
“You are Luo You’s loli. You absolutely must not resist me in any way. Nor touch me!”
After repeating this dozens of times, the hypnosis session finally came to an end.
Huff!
Luo You plopped down, grabbed a cup of water, and gulped it down.
Repeating that many times was exhausting; her tongue even felt sore.
Moments later, Xue snapped out of her vacant trance and dashed over to Luo You, her little butt aiming squarely at Luo You’s face as she jumped and sat down.
“You You, can you show me now?”
“Huh? Show you what?”
Luo You asked tiredly, pushing her aside.
“That thing from a few days ago… that really awesome form!”
“Hmm? Oh, you mean Yuwushuang?”
Luo You knew exactly what Xue meant: the ability she used against Wangchuan at the Boundary Sea Customs.
Yuwushuang: Miraculous Law Arises.
It was a rarely used technique, generally unnecessary.
But it was undoubtedly the most unique skill among all those she possessed.
This technique was somewhat connected to Buddhism and related to the concept of “cause and effect.”
When used, it manifested a scene of golden lotuses blooming everywhere.
When she had formed a deep enough causal bond with someone, she could use Yuwushuang to access the “cause” she planted with that person and reap the “effect” in return, thus gaining their exact abilities—even their personality and thought patterns would gradually align with that person. It was a full-spectrum copy.
Of course, she had to have seen and thoroughly understood Akabane’s abilities first.
For example, the forgiving saint, Litia.
This magical girl had shared a deeply intimate night with Luo You and entrusted her with a kid, so the causal bond between them was profound.
Luo You was also very familiar with Litia’s inherent magic, meaning she could replicate it anytime.
This skill was neither particularly good nor bad.
But if Luo You were to judge, it wasn’t so powerful as to be godlike.
She could confidently say that she didn’t need to rely on copying others’ abilities to claim the top spot.
She already possessed many powerful skills, so copying other magical girls’ powers had little use—even for Litia, who was once a Ten Seat.
But Akabane’s inherent magic was impressive and unique. If used well, it could be a strong trump card.
Besides, Yuwushuang: Miraculous Law Arises had a practical side—it allowed her to do certain things without revealing her true identity, like disguising herself as a particular magical girl to take someone down easily.
“Why do you want to see it so badly? It’s not that impressive,” Luo You said, patting Xue’s head three times like a ball.
“Stop looking at that. I’ll show you something better.”
Xue shook her head vigorously, shouting, “No! I want to see that! That can inspire me!”
“Inspire?”
“Yeah! Inspire!”
“I see…”
Luo You pondered briefly and guessed some possibilities.
Xue’s origin was unusual.
She was originally a defective primitive form of a Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast from the Nine Abyssal Seas.
Luo You suspected that it was due to the Boundary Sea’s matter that dimensional beasts, after evolving to Light-Harvesting class, went insane and lost reason.
What the Boundary Sea gave, the Boundary Sea took away.
The matter of the Boundary Sea enabled them to grow stronger and stronger, but once they reached a certain point, they would spiral toward self-destruction.
Because of this, no perfect Light-Harvesting-class had appeared in the Boundary Sea to this day.
Coincidentally, Akabane’s inherent magic allowed her to perfectly integrate with the primal Boundary Sea matter within a Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast’s body. Perhaps Xue saw this as her own evolutionary path?
Though Xue was pure, she was not stupid—especially her instincts were strong.
So it was fine to show her a demonstration.
“Then follow me.”
Luo You led her to a place with few people around.
“To do what here?”
“Not just to show you, but to let you experience it yourself.”
Yuwushuang, Miraculous Law Arises.
With Luo You’s low whisper, golden lotuses blossomed everywhere, miraculous flowers sprang to life, and soft golden rays spread around.
Xue seemed to glimpse her past self within, only for it to flicker away like a bubble and illusion.
Inside a golden lotus grew a golden fruit, like a relic left by an enlightened monk, radiating a unique brilliance.
This was the “effect” Luo You had planted with Akabane.
“Wait! Can I eat this?”
Xue suddenly shouted.
“Huh? That…”
Luo You was stunned.
This was an unconsidered possibility.
Yuwushuang: Miraculous Law Arises existed externally from the body, so theoretically it wasn’t impossible to let others use it.
“…I think you better not try that easily.”
Luo You hesitated for a moment, then squeezed and rolled Xue’s face before she could answer.
“Ah! I want it! I want it! I want to eat—!!!”
Smack.
A gentle slap silenced her.
“This fruit is a product of divine particles. If you eat it, you’ll probably die on the spot, ascending or departing this world. Also, it’s the product of the causal bond between me and Akabane. If you consume it without reason, no one can predict the consequences.”
“Ugh… okay then…”
Xue looked aggrieved.
To prevent her from lingering on the thought, Luo You swallowed the fruit without hesitation.
“Ugh… spicy.” Luo You grimaced.
As if the golden fruit had washed her marrow and bones, Luo You’s body radiated an aura completely different from before.
An abundant and strange magic power surged from within.
This was the product of perfect fusion and evolution of magic power with the Boundary Sea matter of a Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast.
“Get ready,” Luo You suddenly said.
“Huh?”
Thud.
A terrifying and sinister magic power blasted toward Xue, flinging her dozens of meters away, rolling over a dozen times.
Pffrrr.
Xue got up in embarrassment and shouted, “What are you doing?!”
“You wanted inspiration, right? How can you get it without a real fight? Just watching won’t give you the answers you want.”
Luo You beckoned to her, “Attack me. I’ll show you what true perfect fusion looks like.”
Xue revealed a ruthlessness beyond her apparent age.
The Boundary Sea matter condensed into claws at her fingertips, slashing toward Luo You.
The claws left long trails of energy behind them, and the corrupting aura spread, causing nearby plants to wither quickly.
However—
Xue stared at her own hand in shock.
The Boundary Sea matter at her fingertips dispersed without effect.
Although she seemingly hit Luo You, there was no real impact.
“What’s this?”
“Akabane’s inherent magic can be understood as ‘impervious to all methods’… well, not exactly. It’s more like ‘adaptation’—absorbing all things, fusing, and assimilating.” Luo You used the dimensional beast as an example.
“Suppose you attack me using the primal matter of another Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast. At first, you can deal significant damage. But as I endure more attacks and fully adapt and fuse with that matter, you won’t be able to hurt me anymore because I share your origin.”
“Huh? It works like that?”
Xue was completely stunned.
Luo You withdrew Yuwushuang’s form.
“Because Akabane’s magic has already merged with that Light-Harvesting-class beast, you can’t hurt me with Boundary Sea matter.”
If she met Akabane without preparation, she’d be instantly defeated—allowing Akabane to counterattack from the brink of death.
That Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast was fought to the death by Akabane back then, and its primal matter was almost drained by her.
It could only rely on physical strength to grapple with Akabane, but Akabane’s magic gave her the advantage.
If Akabane were considered a dimensional beast, she might be the most successful evolutionary product in the Boundary Sea.
Luo You admired her greatly.
Before Akabane’s battle with that Light-Harvesting-class beast, Luo You had once fought her.
Back then, Akabane had shown signs of “adapting” even to divine particles, which shocked Luo You.
Unfortunately, divine particles were an extraordinary force Luo You couldn’t cross.
She failed halfway.
Also, divine particles only affected Luo You herself and usually didn’t appear externally.
The abilities she used were merely extensions of the divine particles.
“Do you understand a bit more now?”
Luo You tapped Xue’s head, bringing her out of her daze.
“Yeah, a little…”
“Good. If you want to return to Light-Harvesting class, you either need to find your sealed original body again or find other Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beasts to absorb their primal matter. Those are probably your only two choices.”
Seeing Xue deep in thought, Luo You sighed.
If a truly perfect Light-Harvesting-class ever appeared, it would be a nightmare for the whole world.
The supposed Light-Harvesting-class she encountered in the Nine Abyssal Seas—Luo You wasn’t sure if it was really a dimensional beast.
After all, it could talk and communicate; maybe it was a magical creature or some other lifeform.
If that being was a dimensional beast… and if it was a perfect Light-Harvesting-class… then it must have overcome the side effects of Boundary Sea matter and wouldn’t need to hide in the human world.
A perfect Light-Harvesting-class dimensional beast…
[“I kind of want to go all out and fight it.”]
Luo You felt a bit dreamy.
She shouldn’t have let that thing leave so easily back then.
It seemed like nothing in this world could threaten her.
If there was, it might be that being.
“As for Xingyue… I’ve never fought her, so I don’t know how strong she is.”
The strongest magical girl, the era’s benchmark, the face of the Magic Alliance.
Just by looking at Xingyue’s records and reputation, Luo You thought she must be pretty capable.
“When I’m confident enough to absolutely dominate her in bed, I’ll knock her to her knees and make her my personal Star Fury.”
Beating a magical girl until she can’t fight and then violating her—what kind of real skill is that?
You can’t lose in bedroom battles.
That’s a witch’s pride!
But probably only Xingyue would be willing to have that kind of fight with her directly.
Other magical girls were too stubborn; they’d rather die than lose the ability to resist.
Luo You sent Xue back and left her to contemplate on her own.
Knock knock—
As she drove home, she received a WeChat message from An Juer.
An Juer: “Coach, I’m free! I’ll need your help for the next few days, is that okay?”
Luo You was overjoyed.
After slacking off at the gym for so long, she finally had work to do. She quickly replied.
“Come anytime! If you don’t understand something or want to train certain parts, I can teach you!”
“Then… how about 9 a.m. tomorrow?”
“Sure, sure.”
With plans set for tomorrow, Luo You almost cried.
She truly loved fitness as a profession.
It was proof of her former life as a man!
“I’m home~”
Luo You opened the door and, unsurprisingly, saw Ji Yue.
Uh—
Though she had long hoped to meet Ji Yue, actually seeing her was still a little awkward.
This woman was a high-class magical resentful wife, suspicious that Luo You You was really Elera.
Not sure if their chance encounter with Xue in the Nine Abyssal Seas had dispelled this woman’s doubts.
[“Well, it doesn’t matter. Soon she’ll be at my knees. I might as well learn more about my aunt while I can. Hopefully, this won’t turn into some storyline where I get cornered and molested by my aunt.”]
Luo You was in a good mood, saying she didn’t want that, but actually she was secretly looking forward to it.
“Hello, Ji Yue, are you here to see Zi Ning?”
“Hello.”
Ji Yue greeted her coldly, then stood up.
“My business with Zi Ning is done. I have things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
“Huh?”
Luo You was momentarily stunned, then quickly tried to be hospitable.
“Leaving so soon? Since you came all the way to Huahai City, I can’t just let you go like this. My gym has a food street nearby with amazing food. Sometimes, magical girls hold concerts there to interact with fans. The next performance is tomorrow. I’ll take you to see it if you have time?”
At these words, Luo Zi Ning instinctively crushed the milk carton in her hand, recalling unpleasant memories.
Ji Yue looked at her niece thoughtfully.
[“It’s probably good to occasionally see how my niece lives as a magical girl… and since Lady Xingyue is also stationed here, staying a few days wouldn’t hurt… Maybe she could give some guidance.”]
Ji Yue changed her mind and said, “Then… Zi Ning can take me tomorrow. It’s a hassle to trouble you; you have your gym work, right?”
“No problem. It’s nothing!”
Luo You said.
“Really no need…”
“It’s fine, fine, leave everything to me!”
Luo You was very enthusiastic, but Ji Yue’s next words left her completely speechless.
“Are you… bored? If you’re too enthusiastic, I get uncomfortable. I hope we can just mind our own business.”
Luo You’s expression instantly stiffened.
“Aunt?!”
Luo Zi Ning was shocked.
The atmosphere had suddenly turned awkward!
Ji Yue realized what she’d said, covering her mouth in surprise at her own rudeness.
“Sorry, You You. I’ve been in a bad mood lately… I spoke without thinking… sorry.”
“Uh… cough, it’s okay. Everyone has moments like that. I feel the same when my trainees can’t control their appetites.”
Luo You controlled her expression well, and the mood quickly eased.
“Aunt, you can sleep in my room tonight.”
“Okay.”
Ji Yue and Luo Zi Ning got along well.
Luo You greeted them with a smile.
But in reality—
Huh?
What’s going on?
Playing the ignore game with me?
Or did Aunt get her period and her brain’s fuzzy?
She actually said, “Too much enthusiasm is hard to handle,” and “I hope we don’t interfere with each other.”
After being so warm and close in the sauna, who was the one trying to bend me over?
You, right?
And now you’re giving me the cold shoulder?
What kind of logic is this?
Oh, I know—it’s because that encounter in the Nine Abyssal Seas proved I’m not Elera, so she thinks “Luo You” is irrelevant now?
How heartless!
She rivals the true witch in coldness.
But no one has ever ignored me before. I’m always the one ignoring others.
And you’re just a defeated magical girl—unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable…
Such a lousy big sister deserves to be well disciplined and toyed with!
Luo You’s eyes glinted coldly.
