Chapter 83 Strange Xia Mo
“Good morning, Die Er~”
The overly sweet voice coming from behind made Luo Shuangyue’s heart race for a moment; her instincts told her that something was off about the situation.
Was Xia Mo really using this tone and address to call her?
Die Er? Isn’t that a pseudonym? How could Xia Mo just come out and use it now?
Moreover, the emotions contained within it made Luo Shuangyue’s skin crawl.
“Are you… okay? Did breaking through mess up your head?” Luo Shuangyue crossed her arms and took a half step back, as if she had encountered a pervert.
But Xia Mo wasn’t deterred by Luo Shuangyue’s rejection; instead, she inched closer, reaching out to hug Luo Shuangyue’s arm.
“Did you really go crazy?!”
“Today, you need my help, so don’t refuse my request, okay?” Xia Mo’s lips curled into a small, cunning smile, exuding pride. “Come on, I’ll buy you some new clothes.”
“New clothes?”
Luo Shuangyue was taken aback.
Wait a minute, sister, you came here to threaten your enemy with a Royal-class Sealing Card and your goal is to go shopping for clothes together?
Luo Shuangyue had prepared for Xia Mo to give her a hard time, but this was unexpected!
“How can a girl have only one outfit? Hurry up, I must pick out several beautiful clothes for you today.”
Xia Mo pushed Luo Shuangyue towards the bustling shopping street. As a Magical Girl, she was a little rich girl, and spending on a few pieces of clothing wouldn’t even make her blink.
Luo Shuangyue wanted to resist, but now she needed Xia Mo’s help, and after her breakthrough, Xia Mo’s physical abilities were no longer weaker than hers, who was injured. With the two factors combined, she was forcibly pushed to the door of a women’s clothing store by Xia Mo.
“Salesperson! Pick out a few suitable outfits for her!” Xia Mo shouted loudly to the staff in the store as she shoved Luo Shuangyue inside.
Seeing the two push each other into the store and hearing Xia Mo’s booming voice, the salesperson rushed over to Luo Shuangyue as if she had been energized.
“Is this young lady here to buy clothes?
Oh my, this young lady is so beautiful; why is she dressed so simply?”
“Don’t worry, Miss, I will definitely make you look brand new!”
Luo Shuangyue didn’t have time to refuse before the enthusiastic salesperson pushed her into the fitting room, then began to throw a series of outfits on her, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Halfway through the process, Xia Mo walked in with several outfits she had selected herself.
By the time this whole ordeal was over, Luo Shuangyue was exhausted and collapsed on the couch when Xia Mo went to pay. Her mouth hung slightly open, and if one looked closely, they might almost see wisps of ghostly energy escaping.
Shopping girls are so scary…
The clothes she was wearing were no longer the ones she had come in with but rather the casual outfit Xia Mo had carefully chosen for her.
As for the shoes, she was now wearing a pair of cut-out mid-heeled sandals, perfectly straddling the line between what Luo Shuangyue could not accept and what she could barely manage to swallow.
Any higher, and she would have dared to perform a face-plant in front of Xia Mo.
Since she was wearing sandals, Xia Mo naturally took off her socks as well… sigh, thinking back on it made Luo Shuangyue feel a wave of unbearable regret.
It seemed that after that day of breakthrough, Xia Mo had suddenly changed her personality, especially towards the Dark Butterfly, her attitude had become significantly tougher.
Was she really not afraid of the Dark Butterfly going all out against her, targeting her loved ones and friends?
“Sure enough, changing into a new outfit makes you come alive,” Xia Mo said as she returned to Luo Shuangyue’s side, loaded with bags and wearing a look of profound satisfaction.
If the previous Dark Butterfly was a gloomy girl, then now, dressed differently, she was filled with an aura of purity. She was no longer a lonely death butterfly but a life butterfly dancing in a floral bloom on a spring day.
She’s really beautiful, Xia Mo secretly mused.
Just thinking that the girl before her was her childhood sweetheart made Xia Mo feel like she was in a dream.
Feeling like… liking a girl isn’t so hard to accept after all.
Because Xia Mo liked Luo Shuangyue as a person, regardless of whether she was a boy or a girl. If she liked men, how could she ever fall for Luo Shuangyue, who had never been masculine?
“What nonsense.” Luo Shuangyue grumbled with a cold expression.
She still didn’t understand why Xia Mo was buying her clothes. Were they that close?
Close enough for you to directly take off my clothes and socks?
“What’s wrong? I don’t want you to always appear in front of me looking the same, is that so wrong?” Xia Mo chuckled lightly.
“Do you even remember that we are enemies?”
“I would have really forgotten if you hadn’t said anything. If every enemy of mine were like the Dark Butterfly, the world would definitely become a better place,” Xia Mo said, holding her shopping bags and smiling at Luo Shuangyue. “Come on, let’s go to the nearby café, have a cup of coffee, and chat about business.”
Hearing Xia Mo dangle the Sealing Card like bait, Luo Shuangyue had no choice but to take the bait and go along with it.
Surely, she couldn’t just back out halfway?
The two went into the coffee shop, found an empty table to sit down, and after ordering two cups of coffee, Xia Mo took the initiative to start discussing the Sealing Cards.
“You mentioned before that Senior Bai Ye left behind a lot of messes, was it about these Sealing Cards?”
“That’s right. When Bai Ye was active, the strength of the Magic Department wasn’t as strong as it is now, and their methods for handling magical energy pollution were not mature. So after defeating magical beasts, Bai Ye would use her power to seal the magical energy on site, turning it into the Sealing Cards you see.”
Luo Shuangyue nodded and shared some information about the Sealing Cards with Xia Mo.
“But Bai Ye isn’t a god; the seals she left behind will weaken over time, and now is roughly when many of these seals are about to expire.”
“The magical energy sealed within these cards is an invaluable weapon for those with ulterior motives; you might not know how sought-after Sealing Cards are in the black market.”
“That card in your hand, if you wanted to sell it for money, the amount you’d get could even make you a well-known millionaire.”
“So amazing?” Xia Mo was puzzled; why had she never heard of such an important matter?
