What Kind of Creature Are You?

"A female demon?"

"You think far too highly of yourself if you believe you can suck a man's yang energy dry."

In the Shadow World beneath the balcony, Li Ran spoke into his phone.

He wore an ordinary pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. The view that had been blocked by the balcony a moment ago now seemed to offer no barrier at all to Li Ran.

He could see straight through the thick balcony and watch everything the two people in the living room did. If he wanted, he could even see the girl's chest.

In the living room, Lu Zhaohui lowered his head and began repeating what Li Ran had just said.

Meng Ge couldn't help laughing. "You don't believe me?"

"Then tell me, what kind of creature are you? Chicken essence?"

Lu Zhaohui said the harshest things, yet inside, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Meng Ge didn't get angry, even though his words were meant to mock her.

Her secret had been exposed, so naturally she couldn't let this man live. But he really was special, and she still couldn't bring herself to kill him.

"I'm a lizard spirit!"

Lu Zhaohui continued to taunt her. "The kind that lies there without moving, stupid-looking, with eyes like light bulbs? Then turn into one and let me see."

"I'm telling the truth. If I turned into that, you'd be scared to death," Meng Ge said with a flirtatious smile.

Lu Zhaohui continued, "I'm not joking either. If you turn into one, I'll keep you as a pet and tie a big bow around your neck."

Meng Ge stared intently at Lu Zhaohui.

In the end, she would never find true love. Men's words were nothing but lies.

At long last, she had met someone she genuinely liked, yet things had still come to this. Once her secret was exposed, it would all be over between them.

Ever since she realized she was a monster, she hadn't dared hope for love.

Rather than go on like this, she might as well put an end to that unrealistic fantasy.

"I'm going to transform. Don't blink," Meng Ge said seriously.

Lu Zhaohui looked impatient. "Hurry up, then. Stop dragging it out."

In the shadows beneath the balcony, Li Ran watched Meng Ge intently through his X-Ray Glasses.

"Strange. She knows she's a monster?" Li Ran thought in shock.

In the Happy Home instance, from the sixth day up until now, it seemed that all the residents were indifferent to monsters. They even thought it was normal.

For example, if they were walking down the street and saw two people turn into monsters and start fighting over a disagreement, the residents would still see them as two people, not two monsters.

Meng Ge knowing that she was a monster was rather unusual.

As Li Ran wondered about this, a prompt panel appeared above Meng Ge.

After reading it, what he began to worry about was Lu Zhaohui. He was afraid the guy might wet himself when the time came.

Meng Ge walked to a spacious part of the living room, slowly took off her clothes, and crouched on the floor in front of Lu Zhaohui.

Her features swelled and distorted, her eyes bulged, and her body stretched out. Smooth white scales grew across her fair skin, while her lower body turned into a long, slender white tail...

Lu Zhaohui kept smiling beside her, but it was an incredibly strange smile.

Shit, she really transformed?!

Meng Ge was really changing.

There was no point hiding it anymore.

In the spacious living room, a long, slender white lizard with a faint glow lay on the floor. It had a narrow, triangular head, a flickering, slender tongue, and large, languid eyes.

Lu Zhaohui had witnessed the entire process of a person turning into a lizard with his own eyes. The white lizard wasn't ugly. On the contrary, with her jade-white appearance, she looked like an exquisite work of art that belonged in a display case.

Just then, the white lizard turned her head to look at Lu Zhaohui.

"This is what I really look like," the white lizard said in Meng Ge's voice.

She kept watching Lu Zhaohui.

In truth, the reason Lu Zhaohui was still smiling was that he had already been scared stiff.

Who could accept the girl they liked turning into a lizard?

She really had been too stupid to believe the nonsense that this man liked lizards.

Fine. Let it end here.

From now on, she wouldn't trust another man.

No one in this world would fall in love with a lizard.

In any case, none of it mattered anymore.

She slowly changed back into a human, then put her clothes back on. The whole process took only a few seconds.

Looking at the man before her, who was completely paralyzed with fear, she laughed at herself.

In the end, she had only been fooling herself. He was no different from those other scumbag men.

She had already killed countless men. One more wouldn't make a difference.

With that thought, Meng Ge slowly approached Lu Zhaohui. She parted her lips slightly, and a violet glow spread through her eyes.

All she had to do was charm the man, take him home, and drain his yang energy. After that, it would be up to whether her mother wanted to eat him. If her mother was in a good mood, perhaps he would survive—but his days afterward would hardly be pleasant.

Just then, the man suddenly flung his arms open and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

The gesture left her stunned. The violet charm in her eyes faded away.

"I already knew," Lu Zhaohui said, holding Meng Ge.

"You knew?" Meng Ge froze.

"You did all this to treat your mother's illness, didn't you?" Lu Zhaohui slowly let go of Meng Ge, but took her hand.

Meng Ge stared at Lu Zhaohui in surprise. His face showed none of the fear ordinary people felt when they saw a monster.

"How did you know?"

No matter what people said about her, she had never responded.

Because only she knew how difficult her life had been.

Her mother was bedridden with a serious illness. Only the yang energy from men could save her.

Everything she did was for her mother to recover.

So whenever her mother's old illness flared up, she would head out under cover of night to secluded places, lure those scumbag men home, and let her mother feed on them.

What kind of decent men would be found in places like that? They were all lower-body-driven animals who coveted her looks. It was no loss if her mother ate them.

Over time, rumors began to spread around the neighborhood.

She had never tried to explain herself. She even used matchmakers and the excuse of a blind date to keep bringing men home.

But there was one silly, sincere boy she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless toward.

Caring, considerate, kind, honest, pure of heart—she had never seen so many good qualities in a boy. Only then did she realize he was different from those scumbag men.

She couldn't bear to hurt him again. Even at the risk of her mother scolding her, she began refusing his invitations.

Because she had truly fallen for him.

"Be my girlfriend," Lu Zhaohui said earnestly, placing both hands on Meng Ge's shoulders.

Meng Ge froze as though struck by lightning. "Y-you said what?"

She wondered if she had heard him wrong. Who would date a monster?
