"A female demon?"
"And one that sucks a man's yang energy too? You're giving yourself too much credit."
In the shadowy 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 extended balcony was now meaningless to him.
Through the thick balcony, he could see every move the two people in the living room made. If he wanted to, he could even see the girl’s chest muscles.
In the living room, Lu Zhaohui lowered his head and repeated 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 demon you are? A chicken demon?”
Lu Zhaohui said the harshest words, but deep down he couldn’t stop feeling uneasy.
Meng Ge wasn’t angry, even though that sentence had clear sarcasm in it.
Her secret had been exposed. Naturally, this man couldn’t be kept alive. But he was indeed different—she still didn’t want to kill him just yet.
“I’m a lizard demon.”
Lu Zhaohui continued to mock: “You mean the kind that lies there motionless, dumb as a rock, with eyes like light bulbs? Go on then, transform and show me.”
“I’m serious. If I turn into that form, you’ll be scared to death.” Meng Ge said with a seductive smile.
Lu Zhaohui kept going: “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 him intently.
In the end, she could never obtain true love. A man’s mouth, full of lies.
She had finally met someone she genuinely liked, and still, it had come to this. Once her secret was exposed, it was truly over between them.
Ever since she realized she was a monster, she never dared to hope for love.
If that’s the case, she might as well kill off the illusion.
“I’m going to transform. Don’t blink,” Meng Ge said seriously.
Lu Zhaohui replied impatiently, “Just get on with it, stop dragging it out.”
…
Under the balcony’s shadow, Li Ran adjusted his x-ray glasses and carefully observed Meng Ge.
“Strange… she’s actually aware that she’s a monster?” Li Ran thought in shock.
In this “Happy Home” world, he had made it to Day 6. It seemed like none of the native residents found monsters odd—in fact, they acted as if it were completely normal.
Like on the street—two people could suddenly turn into monsters and start fighting, and in the eyes of the residents, they were still just two people, not monsters.
So for Meng Ge to know she was a monster, that was quite unusual.
While he was puzzling over this, a line of information appeared over Meng Ge’s body.
After reading it, what Li Ran began to worry about most was Lu Zhaohui. He was afraid the guy might wet himself in terror.
…
Meng Ge walked to a spacious part of the living room, slowly took off her clothes, and crawled onto the ground in front of Lu Zhaohui.
Her features bulged and deformed, her eyes protruded, her body elongated, and white, smooth scales began growing across her pale skin. Her lower body transformed into a long, thin, white tail…
Next to her, Lu Zhaohui kept smiling—only now that smile looked incredibly bizarre.
Holy shit—she actually changed?!
Meng Ge was really transforming.
At this point, there was no use hiding anything.
In the spacious living room, a glowing, slender white lizard lay on the ground, its triangular, sharp head, narrow tongue flicking out, and large, lazy eyes.
Lu Zhaohui had personally witnessed a person transforming into a lizard. And the white lizard wasn’t ugly. On the contrary, with its entire body like white jade, if you put it in a display case, it might even look like an exquisite work of art.
At that moment, the white lizard turned its head to look at Lu Zhaohui.
“This is my true form,” said Meng Ge’s voice from the lizard’s mouth.
She kept staring at him.
In reality, the reason Lu Zhaohui still had that smile was because he had already gone numb with fear.
Who could accept the girl they liked turning into a lizard?
She was too foolish—to believe this man actually liked lizards? What a joke.
Fine. Let it end here.
From now on, she would never believe in any man again.
There’s no one in this world who would date a lizard.
In any case, everything was meaningless now.
She slowly returned to her human form and dressed herself again—it only took a few seconds.
Looking at the man in front of her, completely stunned, she gave a self-mocking laugh.
In the end, she was just deceiving herself. He was no different from those other filthy men.
Anyway, she had killed more men than she could count. One more made no difference.
Thinking this, Meng Ge slowly approached Lu Zhaohui. She slightly parted her lips, and a purple glow filled her eyes.
She only needed to enchant this man. After that, she’d take him home, drain his yang energy—and then it would be up to her mother whether or not to eat him. If her mother was in a good mood, maybe he’d survive. But even then, the rest of his days would be hell.
Just then, the man suddenly opened his arms and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
The move stunned her on the spot. The enchanting purple glow in her eyes faded away.
“I’ve actually known all along,” Lu Zhaohui said while hugging her.
“You knew… all along?” Meng Ge was stunned.
“You did all of this for your mother’s illness, didn’t you?” Lu Zhaohui slowly released her and took her hand.
Meng Ge’s eyes widened in shock. There was no fear on his face—the kind normal people had when seeing a monster.
“How… how do you know?”
No matter what others said about her, she had never responded.
Because only she knew how hard her life had been.
Her mother was bedridden with a severe illness. Only yang energy from men could keep her alive.
Everything she did was to help her mother recover.
So, whenever her mother had a relapse, she would go out under the cover of night to remote places and seduce filthy men to bring home for her mother to feed on.
What kind of decent men would be in those places? All of them were lustful beasts drawn in by her beauty—being eaten by her mother was no loss.
Over time, rumors began spreading throughout the neighborhood.
She never tried to explain. She even used a matchmaker to keep bringing men home under the guise of blind dates.
But then, a silly, honest boy appeared—one who made her hesitate.
He cared, protected, was kind, honest, and had a pure soul. She had never seen so many good traits in one boy before. That was when she realized—he was different from those other disgusting men.
She couldn’t bear to hurt him. Even if it meant being scolded by her mother, she began turning down his invitations.
Because she had truly fallen for him.
“Be my girlfriend,” Lu Zhaohui said, placing both hands on her shoulders, looking at her seriously.
Meng Ge froze like she’d been struck by lightning. “You… what did you say?”
She doubted her ears. Who would fall in love with a monster?
