Trampling on Her Former Self

Volume One: Trampling on Her Former Self (Five Updates Begin)

A pervert who wanted to be a dog... Xinghua could not help but feel her face heat up when she heard those words from someone she knew well. After all, she had not completely cast aside her sense of shame like Meng Yue had. Otherwise, she would not have been afraid of her little sister learning the secret in her heart.

"That's still better than someone like you, who has already fallen into becoming a monster!"

Her little face flushed red as she stared at Meng Yue. Xinghua gritted her teeth and said, "It would be the same even if it were you! As long as I still have one breath left today, I'll never give you a chance to get near me!"

If she did not go back, that damned doll Papi would tell Xiao Nai her secret! And... seeing Meng Yue, who was now utterly different from before, only made Xinghua more afraid!

Because Bai Yu had just told her that he would turn her into someone capable of killing dogs without hesitation for his commands! If Xinghua had only been half-convinced about Bai Yu's ability to modify people before... then seeing Meng Yue like this made her believe it completely!

She was afraid... afraid that she would really become something so unfamiliar! So she absolutely could not be captured by the Monster Leader here!

With that thought, Xinghua actually forced herself to stand up from the ground despite her fading consciousness! She then fixed Meng Yue with a sharp gaze—

"Who would've thought that someone who used to slack off every day could now erupt with such tenacious willpower!"

Seeing Xinghua's display, Meng Yue exaggeratedly sighed. "You're not only under the effects of a special drug right now, but the magic formation has also thrown the magic power in your body into disorder. Yet you can still stand up... that's truly admirable~~~"

"Stay away from me!!"

Summoning her white longbow once more, Xinghua aimed an arrow at Meng Yue. "If possible, I don't want to attack a former companion—"

"It's wonderful that you don't want to attack a former companion! Then I'll just have to make good use of that, meow~~~"

However, Meng Yue shamelessly said, "Since you won't attack me, doesn't that mean I can capture you however I want?"

"You... can actually be this shameless!"

Even someone like Xinghua was angered into laughing at that moment! Then, with a complicated expression, she said, "Do you know? If the old you met the current you, she'd look at you with the same disgust she'd show roadside trash."

"Does that idiot deserve to look down on me?"

However, Meng Yue was the first to trample on her former self with a disdainful tone. She sneered, "She was nothing more than... a pathetic punching bag!"

When she said that, Meng Yue's expression froze slightly, as if she had become a little sad for an instant. But in the end, she still put on a giggling smile!

"Xinghua, do you know? The Monster Organization's benefits are actually quite good!"

At that moment, Meng Yue began counting on her fingers as she excitedly introduced them to Xinghua. "Three meals a day are fully covered, the cafeteria has a rich selection of dishes, everyone gets a comfortable room, and once you become a Monster Executive, you can obtain—"

"That means nothing to me now!"

Xinghua interrupted Meng Yue and said coldly, "I won't shamelessly allow the Monster Leader to freely modify my body and mind just because of things like that—"

"Is that so?"

Meng Yue's formerly cheerful expression instantly darkened. Then she sneered, "Then there's nothing more to say. Unless you're prepared to kill me with your own hands, I'll—"

Whoosh!

The long arrow instantly pierced through Meng Yue's chest, and the sound of flesh bursting apart was painfully sharp. Meng Yue seemed somewhat unable to believe it as she lowered her head and looked at the arrow that had penetrated her Magic Core...

"You're not my little sister. You're just a former companion, so don't think too highly of yourself."

Releasing the bowstring, Xinghua said with a cold expression, "Other than my little sister, I wouldn't care much even if all humanity died. You're merely one of them... that's all."

Even if we did grow a little close, Sister Meng Yue... I can't let you capture me right now! I'm sorry...

Thinking that, Xinghua could not help but turn her gaze away. Since Meng Yue was a monster, piercing her Magic Core meant she would definitely die, just as a human would die if their heart were pierced. It could be said that Meng Yue was beyond saving!

Magical Girl Meng Yue... the strongest Magical Girl who had slaughtered countless monsters and remained invincible. Who would have thought that one day, after becoming a monster, she would be killed by a Magical Girl? How lamentable...

Thud.

Xinghua heard Meng Yue's body collapse weakly to the ground. At last, she looked over with complicated feelings... her former companion was now sprawled on the ground with her limbs spread wide, completely motionless.

"Phew..."

The next second, Xinghua's Phasing mode was released. After all, she had personally killed a former companion. No matter what, her mind had been affected, and for that brief instant, she had no focus left to maintain the flow of magic power...

"!"

But Xinghua's expression changed immediately afterward! Because—Meng Yue suddenly appeared right in front of her with a cheerful grin! Her sharp cat claws were embedded in Xinghua's arm, making her instantly feel dizzy and disoriented!

Impossible... How could any monster survive after its Magic Core was pierced? I clearly felt the Magic Core being shattered through the magic power wrapped around the arrow...

But Xinghua's mind soon stopped working. The poison Meng Yue injected into her body was far more potent than the serum Bai Yu had hidden inside his clone! Xinghua did not even have a few seconds to think before she collapsed to the ground, motionless...

"I'm really so happy~~~ I never expected that you, someone whose heart only holds dogs and your little sister, would actually freeze up in sorrow over my death!"

Looking at the unconscious Xinghua on the ground, Meng Yue casually kicked her once before muttering, "I wonder whether your little sister will be able to kill me as decisively as you did when she meets me... It sounds fun! I'll try it next time!"

"Well done!"

At that moment, Bai Yu appeared beside Meng Yue and reached out to pat her head. "If she had kept desperately refusing to let anyone near her, it really would have been troublesome. Luckily, we had you!"

"Hehe~~~"

Meng Yue twitched her cat ears and happily shook her head. Then she looked at Xinghua teasingly. "Too bad she doesn't know that cats have nine lives. Against some monsters, you can't let your guard down even after destroying their Magic Cores~~~"

Xinghua had not noticed that the instant her long arrow pierced through Meng Yue's Magic Core, the cat tail at Meng Yue's lower back vanished instantly. The next second, another cat tail grew from the same spot.

Finished resting! Five updates begin after release; all done before six in the morning!

1/5

Volume One: You're Awake? The Surgery Was a Success!

The Magic Core was the vital point of all magical creatures. Once it was destroyed, whether the target was a monster or one of the Magical Beasts, it would die on the spot! But there were always exceptions. There happened to be a few Magical Beasts that would not die even if their Magic Cores were destroyed...

For example, the Purple Phantom Poison Cat was a powerful Magical Beast with nine tails. Not only did it possess incredible speed and all kinds of magical poison, but its most troublesome ability was its resurrection power, comparable to time Reversal!

The Purple Phantom Poison Cat had nine chances to revive on the spot. During that time, even if it were reduced to a tiny fragment of its body, a drop of blood, or a speck of dust, it could still revive where it fell! However, each time it revived, one of its nine tails would disappear. Once all nine tails had vanished, it meant that it had used up all its revivals.

Furthermore, one resurrection could be restored each day. Meng Yue, who had gained the Purple Phantom Poison Cat's power, could use this ability as well. However, since she had not fully mastered her power, she needed three days to recover one resurrection.

"Actually, I still had plenty of abilities I wanted to show her, meow~~~"

Pouting, Meng Yue said in great disappointment, "But I didn't expect her to be so weak. I only showed her one ability, and she was already down!"

At that moment, Xinghua had completely lost consciousness, and her Magical Girl transformation had been released along with it. All that remained was a brown-haired girl and a White Gem Pendant.

"It's fine. There will be plenty of chances later."

Bending down to pick up the White Gem Pendant, Bai Yu said, "And don't get too full of yourself. If I hadn't told her when to end Phasing, how could you have succeeded so easily with that sneak attack?"

Bai Yu's eyes could not only see through a Magical Girl's Magic Core, but also clearly perceive the flow of magic power inside her body. At the beginning, Bai Yu had watched Xinghua fight the Demon Crocodile Executive and discovered through the flow of her magic power that Xinghua had to become tangible for five seconds after every five minutes of Phasing. He had then told Meng Yue about it.

Xinghua's Magic Core... Bai Yu focused his gaze and saw that Xinghua's Magic Core was pure white, just like Meng Yue's. It had not been contaminated by any other color at all!

"Just as expected... although she says she wants to be a dog, deep down, she still doesn't actually want to become one."

Rubbing his chin, Bai Yu analyzed, "More accurately, she doesn't want to for now... because what she desires is to become a dog with an owner. Since she has yet to meet an owner who belongs to her, she has not fallen yet."

"In other words..."

Hearing that, Meng Yue could not help sounding surprised. "The reason she hasn't fallen is because she doesn't want to be a dog without an owner?"

"More or less. It seems my guess was right."

Placing his hand on Xinghua's shoulder, Bai Yu chuckled. "Compared with your feelings of liking dogs, your desire to be enslaved is even stronger!"

The next second, teleportation magic activated, and the three figures vanished from the spot...

And so, two hours later... a small white doll finally appeared there. It cautiously drifted forward, looking around from time to time. Only after confirming that there was no ambush did the Contract Spirit Papi finally relax.

"I can sense that a major battle did indeed take place here not long ago."

Feeling the lingering traces of magic power in the air, Papi said in confusion, "But I didn't sense any of this ahead of time... could it be!"

It suddenly descended to the ground and stretched out its tiny hand to touch the earth. After sensing it for a while, Papi shouted, "A magic formation! It's a magic formation that isolates the outside world!"

So that was it! No wonder that clone had inexplicably lost contact with the main body last time, and why it had lost its magical connection with Xinghua this time as well. A magic formation capable of cutting off all contact with the outside world had been set up here!

"The old Monster Organization didn't have methods like this. Was it done by that new Monster Leader? A brat like him can actually create a magic formation that blocks even my perception?"

Papi flew up from the ground and said with a dark expression, "I don't know what he did to my clone last time, and after Meng Yue, Xinghua has disappeared too... This guy is much more troublesome than the previous Monster Leaders!"

"Could Xinghua have done it voluntarily... No, I still have her secret in my grasp. She would never dare not to return on her own!"

Papi silently analyzed, "That idiot must have been tricked by the Monster Leader. Either she's already been killed, or she was captured like Meng Yue... Useless! Every last one of them is so useless!"

"Still... this matter might be something I can make good use of."

At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Papi's mind. A sinister smile twisted across its doll face, and then its figure vanished into the air...

Um... where is this?

Xinghua did not know how long her consciousness had been submerged, but when she opened her eyes again... she was already in an enormous room. The first things she saw were that hateful Monster Leader and an entirely unharmed Meng Yue.

"You're awake!"

Seeing Xinghua wake up, Bai Yu informed her expressionlessly, "Congratulations. The surgery was a success."

"Surgery? What surgery?"

Hearing that, Xinghua frowned and instinctively tried to move. But she immediately discovered that she had been bound to an upright cross.

"Just now, I injected Modification Serum into your body."

Shaking the empty syringe in his hand, Bai Yu said, "As time passes, your body and mind will slowly~~~ turn into those of a stupid Magical Beast!"

"Modification Serum?"

For some reason, Xinghua was unexpectedly calm after hearing that news. She glanced at Meng Yue in front of her and asked, "So... Sister Meng Yue was injected with this thing by you?"

"No, no~~~ Of course not!"

Meng Yue grinned. "I'm not Meng Yue. I am a monster Slave Soldier created one-to-one with Magical Girl Meng Yue as the reference! Other than our appearance, there's nothing alike about us, so please call me Fallen Cat Executive!"

No, no... You look exactly like Meng Yue, don't you? You say you're some monster Slave Soldier made one-to-one from her as a reference—are you trying to make me laugh??

Taking a deep breath, Xinghua continued, "So you turned her into a monster, right? Then why didn't you turn me into a monster too? Why make me into some kind of Magical Beast instead?"

"Because you want to be livestock, don't you? So I'm granting your wish! Monsters are high-class existences here. You aren't qualified to become one!"

Bai Yu smiled pleasantly. "I'm very kind, after all. So at the very least, I'll fulfill your wish of becoming a dog!"

2/5 As expected, I only think better the later it gets

Volume One: Forced Melons Aren't Sweet... But They Quench Your Thirst

When the words "want to be livestock" entered Xinghua's ears, her heart inexplicably tingled, and even her breathing stalled for a brief moment...

But Xinghua quickly shot back coldly, "Are you trying to turn me into a canine Magical Beast? Don't think everything will go as you wish! Even if you successfully modify me, I'll still find a chance to bite you to death!"

"You may not feel that way then."

As he spoke, Bai Yu took out a small remote control and asked, "Now then, let's begin with a question. What is your real name?"

"Huh?"

Hearing that question, Xinghua looked at Bai Yu as if he were an idiot and asked back, "Shouldn't that cat woman have already told you? Do you really need to ask—Aaaahhh!!!"

Before she could finish, Xinghua opened her mouth in a cry. A numbing electric current suddenly began surging through her body!

"As livestock, you dare refuse to answer your master's question."

Pressing the remote in his hand, Bai Yu chuckled. "It seems you need to be punished~~~"

"Monster Leader... I truly misjudged you!"

Since the current was still weak, Xinghua could barely maintain her consciousness as she angrily retorted, "I never thought you... would use such low-grade, despicable methods—"

"Low-grade and despicable?"

Releasing the remote, Bai Yu looked at Xinghua, who was gasping heavily, and asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "How is using electric shocks to punish disobedient livestock low-grade or despicable?"

"Simple violence... is the least sophisticated method."

Xinghua replied, "I thought someone who had corrupted Sister Meng Yue... would be capable of using some clever tactic. I really misjudged you—Aaaahhh!!!"

Unfortunately, before she could finish, Bai Yu pressed the remote again! A stronger current than before instantly spread across her entire body, making her let out another trembling cry!

"You're right. Making someone submit through violence alone is indeed the lowest-grade method in my eyes. But..."

Changing his tone, Bai Yu curled his lips into a smile. "Does something like you deserve for me to use more advanced methods to make you submit? If it were your little sister, I definitely wouldn't do this. But you... you're nothing more than a lowly, stupid dog!"
