“Because, Sister Yi, that’s just how you are—always acting like you want it but then refusing.”
“You can’t help yourself when you see a pretty lady~”
“…Aren’t you the one who can’t help yourself?”
In her previous life, she was a true sigma male—heart untouched by women, sword drawn without hesitation.
Even though she had been reborn as a beautiful girl in this life, Yijinmo firmly believed her sigma levels hadn’t dropped one bit.
“In any case, I still have no intention of marrying her. If she keeps approaching me with that purpose, I’ll reject Miss Luo without hesitation!”
“Huh?”
Vita immediately stood at attention, grabbing Yijinmo’s arm and shaking it as if afraid she’d do something reckless. “Sister Yi, have you really lost your mind?!”
“Not only are you letting her off easy without milking her for coins, you even want to dump your sugar mama!”
“She never even chased me, okay…”
Just imagine—a Bai Mao Mei Shaonü suddenly appears before you, knocks you out with a pile of money, and then asks you to marry her.
Is that a good thing?
“Nonsense! There’s nothing better in the world than that!!”
“I’m so jealous just hearing about it. I want a Bai Mao Mei Shaonü to sponsor me too!”
Yijinmo quietly sipped her milk tea.
So sweet.
She actually wasn’t as obsessed with money as others thought.
Ever since her defeat and retirement three years ago, she’d come to understand a lot of things.
She’d had enough of the rich life in her previous life.
She’d tasted the power of the strong… Even if it wasn’t for long, she was satisfied.
What she wanted now was the ordinary warmth of city life, and to make up for the companionship missing from both her lives.
Other than maybe being a bit scatterbrained, Miss Luo was actually pretty nice.
She couldn’t let someone hang themselves on her crooked tree.
“Ugh…”
Suddenly, the girl’s expression changed.
Bu Hao, my stomach’s too full—I’m stuffed!!
“Eh?”
Watching Yijinmo crouch down for some unknown reason, Vita blinked and slapped her forehead, as if they were telepathic.
“Vi, Vita… I need that… that…”
“I get it, Sister Yi, honestly! How can you eat so recklessly on your period? You should’ve told me sooner. I’ll go to the convenience store and buy you some pads, wait here!”
No, that’s not it!
She wanted digestive tablets!
Wait, hey!
But before Yijinmo could say a word, that annoying pink-haired loli had already dashed away.
This idiot!
Forget it, just bear with it for now. I’ll tell Vita when she gets back… Eh?
Unconsciously looking up, she caught sight of another shadow emerging under the streetlamp.
Turning around, she locked eyes with that white figure.
“Miss, Miss Luo?!”
“I finally found you. I was so worried.”
“Elbow, come home with me.”
Huh?
Luo Shiyun didn’t even hesitate, coming right up as if she was about to forcibly pick the girl up.
But before Yijinmo could resist, Luo Shiyun’s gaze landed on her slightly rounded belly.
“What?!!”
“Who did this? Who dared touch my wife?!”
What do you mean, who dared?!
And I’m not your wife!!
“Don’t worry, wifey, I’ll take good care of you. If you can’t bear to get rid of it, I’m willing to raise the child too, as long as you stay by my side!”
“No, wait, let me explain…”
“No need to say anything, I know you’re doing this for me. I’m truly touched.”
Sis, just what exactly are you touched about?!
“Anyway, let’s go to the hospital first, okay? We have to make sure you and the baby are alright.”
“Hey, hey, hey——!”
Watching Luo Shiyun forcibly reach out and scoop her up by the knees, Yijinmo tried to struggle, but she was no match for the other’s strength and ended up being carried in a bridal hold.
But clearly, there was a price to pay for this—especially for someone whose stomach was aching from overeating.
“Ugh————”
That effect was even more explosive than opening a floodgate.
But Yijinmo learned her lesson—Miss Luo probably wasn’t just a little scatterbrained.
She definitely had a screw loose!!
…
“Captain Lin.”
“We’ve brought her in.”
The clock struck midnight, but the work in the office was just beginning.
“The suspect’s name is Zhou Wei. She was laid off by her company yesterday, felt resentful, and eventually resonated with evil energy. Tonight, around nine o’clock on Southeast Avenue, she fell and became a monster.”
“This is already the third case this week.”
A police officer stood at the back, holding a file, reporting the earlier situation in all seriousness.
Sitting in the swivel chair before her was a short-haired woman with a striking, heroic air.
Her eyes were sharp, her nose straight, her posture tall and crisp—the kind of woman whose every move could make girls squeal.
Her looks and aura were on par with any TV celebrity.
But this captain, who should have been cool and graceful, was at the moment weighed down by fatigue, dark circles heavy beneath her eyes.
“Who handled it?”
“Magical Girl · Bianhua.”
“Her again… That one who always causes the most trouble.”
Lin Qingmiao rubbed her brow, trying to rub away the exhaustion, but no matter how long she tried, it wouldn’t fade.
“What’s the suspect’s current condition?”
“About the same as the other monsters Bianhua dealt with—dazed, barely able to stay conscious at times.”
“Sigh, that’s why I said it’s a pain.”
Bianhua was fast at ending fights, but the aftermath she left behind was always a huge mess.
Those monsters she took down no longer posed a threat, but each one seemed soulless.
No matter how much doctors and scientists studied them, they couldn’t figure ot why.
For the past three years, she’d done nothing but add to their workload.
Unless they could find Bianhua herself, this was an unsolvable problem.
“…The most dangerous magical girl.”
“Honestly, I kind of miss the days when that Thunder Monster ruled. At least when she was around, she kept the monsters in line.”
Most of the time, the police or magical girls didn’t even need to step in—the troublemaking monsters would get zapped into obedience with a hundred thousand volts.
As for the monsters forming organizations under her leadership… well, that was a headache for the big shots up top, not for us rank-and-file cops.
If it made their jobs easier, why complain?
“Forget it, take me to see Zhou Wei. Let’s get her statement, finish the paperwork, and then send her to the Therapy Center.”
“Captain Lin… I think Zhou Wei’s case is a little special.”
“What’s special about it?”
“She has a seriously ill mother at home, and if…”
“You’re new, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Captain Lin.”
“Ha, no wonder…”
Lin Qingmiao rose from her chair, grabbed the rookie by the shoulder, and pulled her in front of herself.
“There’s nothing we can do about that. We’re police, not saints.”
