What kind of spirit are you?

"A female demon?"

"And one that drains human yang energy? You really think too highly of yourself."

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

He wore a pair of ordinary-looking glasses on the bridge of his nose; the view that had previously been obstructed by the balcony protrusion was now, in Li Ran's eyes, as good as non-existent.

He could look directly through the thick balcony to observe every movement of the two people in the living room; if he wanted to, he could even see the girl's pectoral muscles.

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

Meng Ge couldn't help but laugh: "You don't believe me?"

"Then why don't you tell me what kind of spirit you are? A chicken spirit?"

Lu Zhaohui was saying the harshest words, but his heart couldn't help but feel faint.

Meng Ge wasn't angry, even though there was sarcasm in that sentence.

Her secret had been exposed, so this man naturally couldn't be kept, but this man was indeed very special; she wasn't willing to kill him just yet.

"I am a lizard spirit!"

Lu Zhaohui continued to mock: "The kind that lies still, stupid, with eyes like light bulbs? Then transform for me to see."

"I'm telling the truth. If I turn into that, you'll be scared to death," Meng Ge said with a charming smile.

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

Meng Ge stared at Lu Zhaohui without blinking.

In the end, she could never obtain true love; men's mouths are deceitful ghosts.

Having finally met someone she felt a special connection with, it had still come to this. Once the secret was exposed, everything between them was completely over.

Ever since she realized she was a monster, she had stopped daring to hope for love.

Rather than that, it was better to strangle those unrealistic fantasies.

"I'm going to transform now, don't you blink," Meng Ge said seriously.

Lu Zhaohui said impatiently: "Hurry up and transform, stop dawdling."

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

Strange, she actually realizes she's a monster? Li Ran was shocked internally.

In this Happy Home instance, from the sixth day until now, it seemed that all the natives took monsters for granted, even thinking it was a normal phenomenon.

For example, walking down the street and seeing two people get into an argument and transform into monsters to tear each other apart—in the eyes of the natives, they were still two people, not two monsters.

The situation where Meng Ge knew she was a monster was somewhat special.

While he was puzzled, a prompt panel appeared over Meng Ge.

After reading the prompt, he began to worry about Lu Zhaohui; he was afraid the guy would pee his pants from fear when the time came.

Meng Ge walked to a spacious area of the living room, slowly took off her clothes, and crawled onto the floor in front of Lu Zhaohui.

Her facial features bulged and deformed, her eyes protruded, her torso elongated, and patches of smooth white scales grew on her fair skin. Her lower body transformed into a thin, long white tail...

Beside her, Lu Zhaohui maintained his smile, though the smile was as bizarre as it could possibly be.

Fuck, she really transformed?!

Meng Ge was truly transforming.

At this point, there was no point in hiding anything.

In the spacious part of the living room, a long, slender white lizard with a shimmering luster lay on the ground, with a triangular, pointed head, a thin, long tongue flicking out, and large, lazy eyes.

Lu Zhaohui witnessed the entire process of a person turning into a lizard. The white lizard was not ugly; on the contrary, its body, like white jade, looked more like an exquisite piece of art if placed in a display case.

At this moment, the white lizard twisted its head to look at Lu Zhaohui.

"This is my true form," Meng Ge's voice came from the white lizard's mouth.

She kept her gaze fixed on Lu Zhaohui.

In fact, the reason Lu Zhaohui still maintained his smile was that he had long since been scared silly.

Who could accept that the girl they liked had turned into a lizard?

She was still too stupid, actually believing the nonsense that this man liked lizards.

Fine, let it end like this.

From now on, she would never trust any man again.

There was no one in this world who would date a lizard.

In short, everything was meaningless now.

She slowly returned to her human form and put her clothes back on; the entire process took only a few seconds.

Looking at the man before her who was completely paralyzed with fear, she let out a self-deprecating laugh.

In the end, it was nothing more than her own self-deception; he was no different from all those other filthy men.

Regardless, the number of men who had died by her hands was already beyond counting; one more wouldn't make a difference.

Thinking of this, Meng Ge slowly approached Lu Zhaohui, her mouth slightly parted as a purple halo suffused her eyes.

She only needed to charm this man, then take him home and drain his yang energy; as for the rest, it would depend on whether Mother felt like eating him. If Mother was in a good mood, he might survive, though his days ahead would likely be far from pleasant.

Just then, the man suddenly spread his arms and pulled her tightly into an embrace.

This action left her stunned on the spot, and the charming purple glow in her eyes dissipated as a result.

"Actually, I knew it all along," Lu Zhaohui said while holding Meng Ge.

"Knew it all along?" Meng Ge was dumbfounded.

"Everything you've done was to treat your mother's illness, wasn't it?" Lu Zhaohui slowly released Meng Ge, but he took her hand instead.

Meng Ge stared at Lu Zhaohui with wide, astonished eyes; there was no trace of the fear ordinary people showed when seeing a monster on his face.

"How did you know?"

No matter what the outside world said about her, she had never responded.

Because only she herself knew how difficult her life truly was.

Her mother was bedridden with a severe illness, and only the yang energy from men could save her life.

Everything she did was so that her mother could recover.

Therefore, whenever her mother's old ailment flared up, she would take advantage of the night to go to remote places and lure those filthy men home to nourish her mother.

What kind of good men could be found in such places? They were all nothing but animals driven by their lower halves, lusting after her beauty; being eaten by her mother was no great loss.

Over time, rumors and gossip began to spread throughout the residential complex.

She never wanted to explain anything, even going so far as to use a Matchmaker to bring men home under the guise of blind dates.

However, there was one foolish, sincere boy she couldn't bring herself to harm.

Care, protection, kindness, honesty, a pure heart—she had never seen so many shining qualities in one boy before, and she suddenly realized that he was different from those other filthy men.

Unable to bear hurting him any longer, she risked her mother's reproach and began to decline the boy's invitations.

Because she had truly fallen in love with him.

"Be my girlfriend," Lu Zhaohui said, pressing his hands onto Meng Ge's shoulders with great sincerity.

Meng Ge froze as if struck by lightning: "W-what did you say?"

She suspected she had misheard; who would ever want to date a monster?

It's been a long time since I asked for votes, so I'm asking for a wave of support across all metrics.
