Vol 4. Chapter 93: A Thrill-Seeker

Having scars on one's body?

To the people of the Black Rose Family, that was nothing unusual.

Because they had suffered hardships from childhood, nearly everyone in the Black Rose Family had more or less been left with scars that could never be removed.

They had long since grown accustomed to things like scars.

In fact, those who had managed to avoid leaving any wounds on their bodies were the truly rare ones within the Black Rose Family.

Luowei had seen countless scars before, including many that were even more hideous than those covering Shang Mo's back.

However,

the moment Luowei saw the marks on Shang Mo's back, her expression suddenly changed dramatically.

Her gaze, which had only just begun to soften, once again turned icy cold.

The atmosphere around her also became gloomy and oppressive, immediately making Shang Mo feel a suffocating sense of danger.

Normally, having scars wouldn't mean anything.

But one had to remember that Luowei had already been suspicious of Shang Mo.

And now,

this girl, whose talent was excessively outstanding and comparable to that of a Chosen One, who had even experienced death and resurrection, actually had a huge patch of scars across her back?

That inevitably caused an idea to surface in Luowei's mind.

Those scars on her back... could they have been deliberately made?

Could this person really be the Child of Destiny?

But... shouldn't the Child of Destiny be male?

No, wait!

This person only looks like a girl. Who knows whether she's actually female?!

That's right. Even the section about her sex in the report was vague!

The Child of Destiny disguised as a girl to infiltrate the Black Rose Family?

Trying to worm his way into our ranks?

This

was exactly what Luowei was thinking at this moment.

And so, Luowei slowly drew the dagger hidden beneath her dress and coldly stared at the bewildered blue-haired ‘girl’ before her.

“You. Are you a boy or a girl?”

?!?

The moment those words were spoken,

Shang Mo's entire body trembled at the completely unexpected question.

“I-I am... I'm a girl!”

Shang Mo hurriedly answered.

Although he responded quickly enough, he couldn't conceal the panic in his voice, and unsurprisingly, Luowei caught it immediately.

What did this kind of panic mean?

How could Luowei possibly not understand?

This person is lying?

He's really a boy?

He really is the new Child of Destiny?

In an instant, a cold light flashed through Luowei's eyes.

No longer maintaining her polite expression, she unleashed a powerful aura alongside the surging of deep-blue battle aura, directly pressing down upon Shang Mo with suffocating pressure.

“Heh. Really?”

The next moment, before Shang Mo could even say anything, under the terrified gaze of the Child of Destiny,

her long dress fluttered.

Luowei directly pulled the dagger from beneath her skirt and cleanly slashed it across Shang Mo's chest...

‘Shua~’

It had to be said that Luowei's control over her strength was practically perfect.

As blue light rippled outward, Shang Mo himself wasn't injured, but the clothes covering his upper body were instantly split in two, exposing the body hidden underneath.

In an instant,

a rather alluring sight bloomed within the office.

And after clearly seeing Shang Mo's entire upper body, both Luowei and Keke revealed stunned expressions.

“Eh?”

Meanwhile, the blue-haired ‘girl’ wore an expression filled with incomparable shame and fury.

At this moment,

without the protection of his clothes, the girl's exquisitely sculpted body was completely exposed before the two of them.

Ignoring the several hideous wounds marring that delicate body, the blue-haired girl's figure was undeniably quite enticing.

Her soft, milky-white skin, smooth and alluring abdomen, and delicate recessed navel were all features that no ordinary man's body could possess.

And beyond that, upon that crystalline snow-white body, the sight of a pair of trembling, proudly raised little breasts caused Luowei's pupils to suddenly contract.

The woman's eyes locked firmly onto those small breasts, that pair of soft and adorable budding flowers tipped with shy, tender pink.

“Th-this... is real?”

Staring fixedly at that pair of tender, pale, petite, youthful buds, Luowei couldn't help swallowing.

All the murderous words she had prepared were forcibly swallowed straight back down.

After blankly reaching out and squeezing them twice, Luowei unconsciously bit her lip.

This texture.

This elasticity...

There's absolutely no way they're fake...

She's really a girl?!

Luowei raised her head in disbelief and looked at the girl being held in Keke's hand, whose face had already turned completely red from humiliation.

The instant shock appeared on Luowei's face,

she suddenly shook her head violently, forcing herself to calm down.

No...

Having breasts doesn't prove anything.

These days, even medicine can produce effects like that!

The Holy Tower apparently has that kind of medicine!

Breasts could be disguised.

But

that thing couldn't be changed with medicine!

At that thought,

Luowei gritted her teeth.

Ignoring the blue-haired girl's cries of ‘Stop!’ she directly reached a hand into Shang Mo's pants, probing straight into that completely uncensored mosaic zone.

However, the next moment,

Luowei's pupils contracted once again, and her entire body seemed to freeze on the spot.

The reason was very simple.

She had expected to feel a sausage, but instead discovered in astonishment that the sensation beneath her fingertips was slightly... different.

It was a XXX.

And after Luowei suddenly touched her secret garden, the blue-haired girl couldn't help letting out a suggestive moan.

Her entire face instantly turned bright red, like a fully ripened apple, looking so tender that juice might drip from it...

“Mm... ah~”

?!!

This... she?!

She's really a girl?

Not a boy?

After pulling her hand back out of Shang Mo's pants, Luowei stared fixedly at her slender index finger with an expression that suggested she was beginning to question her entire life.

“This... what the hell is going on?”

She's really not the Child of Destiny?

...

Meanwhile, although Shang Mo's face was filled with shame and indignation after having his chest groped and his crotch grabbed, inwardly, he couldn't help feeling an enormous sense of relief.

Th-that was close...

——

As for why Shang Mo had ended up like this,

that was all thanks to a certain unscrupulous merchant.

Several days earlier,

after Shang Mo had finally reached the Sadik Empire's port city of Bonasai, having gone hungry for far too long, he immediately sold off the cargo he had stolen from the ship and bought a huge quantity of food to fill his stomach.

Although committing petty theft like this as the Child of Destiny filled Shang Mo with guilt,

no matter how guilty he felt, he couldn't overcome the hunger in his belly.

That was why he had reluctantly taken up this little side business.

After filling his stomach, Shang Mo planned to use the money he had earned from selling the stolen goods to rent a carriage, stock up on food, and travel toward the Black Rose Family's territory in the southwestern part of the Empire.

However, unfamiliar with the place and completely lost, Shang Mo wandered stupidly around the city, trying to find somewhere that rented carriages.

And while Shang Mo was scurrying around like a headless fly, one moment of carelessness brought him to a...

Enmm, magical bookstore?!

The outside of the bookstore was extremely plain and unremarkable,

but the interior was a completely different world.

Inside was a vast and magnificent space, with an enormous spiral-shaped bookshelf towering spectacularly upward.

Countless magic books filled its shelves!

And surrounding the shelves were innumerable magical creatures of all shapes and sizes, each radiating powerful fluctuations of magic.

The sight left Shang Mo completely amazed.

But what caught his attention most

was the bookstore's proprietress...

That fox lady who appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, with a voluptuous figure, graceful bearing, elegant and refined mannerisms, and dazzling platinum-blond hair...

The very first moment she saw him, the fox lady named Noya's eyes immediately lit up.

She rushed straight over to him, playfully sizing him up while occasionally fiddling with his hair, making Shang Mo feel rather uncomfortable.

However, after sensing the faint yet seemingly bottomless magical aura surrounding her, like an unfathomable chasm, Shang Mo clearly understood that this woman was definitely someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

Since he couldn't afford to offend her,

he could only let her play with him.

And as she continued playing around with him, one sudden sentence from her instantly broke Shang Mo's defenses.

“Little brother, can you tell me why you're wearing a dress?”

Realizing that his disguise had been seen through so easily, Shang Mo turned pale with shock and immediately tried to argue his way out of it!

However,

after spouting a bunch of complete nonsense, the fox lady still didn't believe a word of his bullshit.

Instead, she kept rubbing herself against him.

She even removed her white stockings right in front of him, exposing a pair of beautiful legs that could make one's blood boil—snow-white, smooth, full, elegant, and long.

Then, Miss Noya continuously teased him with those beautiful legs and the fluffy fox tail behind her.

Although Shang Mo desperately suppressed his desire,

he was still a boy in the end.

Facing the constant teasing of this old demon... uh, no, this fox lady, he ultimately failed to endure it and developed a slight reaction.

Seeing this, the fox lady leaned playfully toward Shang Mo's ear and whispered seductively,

“You're reacting, aren't you, little ‘sister’~?”

At this point, Shang Mo knew there was no longer any way to hide it, so he had no choice but to come clean.

Blushing furiously, the weak Child of Destiny questioned the owner of this magical bookstore, the woman named ‘Noya,’ demanding to know exactly what she wanted from him.

Faced with Shang Mo's question and that wary little look in his eyes, Noya covered her mouth with her sleeve and gave a seductive laugh.

“Nothing~ I just want to help you, little brother~ Your disguise as a girl isn't very convincing right now~ If you're like this, there's no way you'll fool anyone~”

“Help? Wh-what do you mean?”

“Hehe~ It's simple. This shop has a few little items that can help you disguise yourself properly. I guarantee that once you use them, no one will ever be able to tell that you're a boy again~”

Noya said playfully.

As she spoke, the woman raised her slender index finger and pressed it against her lips.

Feeling the tone of her voice and watching those playful movements,

Shang Mo was almost completely certain in his heart.

The woman in front of him

was just a fucking thrill-seeker who lived for amusement...
