Good and Bad

“Mm.”

In the early morning, stinging sunlight filtered through the window and fell upon the head of the bed. The figure lying on the bed in a slightly ungraceful posture twitched her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

In a daze, Su Mian saw the familiar ceiling. This was home. This was her room. So, she had returned again?

The disconnected memories instantly reconnected, and everything that had happened before began to resurface in her mind.

Su Mian remembered that she had gone out at night to use the power of a demon to find other demons, and also to figure out exactly who was stalking her. As a result, she first encountered an unkillable monster in an alley, along with that very “fated” police officer, and then encountered another even more dangerous freak!

Having no other choice, she had to leave things to her “other self” to resolve, and then…

“Is everything settled?”

Scratching her hair and climbing out of bed, Su Mian immediately realized—from the black hair that was significantly longer than her male state—that he… no, she was currently still in her female form.

Looking down at the neckline of her pajamas, the two mounds—which weren’t exactly towering but could certainly be called full—were undoubtedly the most solid proof.

She hadn’t changed back? No, looking at them, they clearly seemed much larger than yesterday!

“And where did these pajamas come from?”

Looking at the women’s cartoon pajamas that closely resembled a certain starfish character from her previous life, Su Mian woke up instantly, several black lines appearing on her forehead.

Her other self had done something she shouldn’t have again yesterday!

Since she was at home now, it meant the matter was definitely resolved, but the problem was: how exactly did her other self resolve it?

Su Mian felt vaguely uneasy and hurriedly got up to find a mirror, but as soon as she sat up, she immediately noticed something wrong with her body.

Aside from her appearance still being maintained as a female, she discovered that the abnormal sense of hunger from before had completely vanished. Furthermore, there was clearly a burning heat circulating within her body!

That heat flow went up and down, gathering one moment and dispersing the next, appearing continuously in various parts of her body; the sensation was extremely distinct.

“What is this?”

Su Mian frowned. Finding that she could not control that strange heat, she unhesitatingly went to the bathroom. Although she wasn’t clear on the situation yet, it definitely had something to do with her other self!

Standing before the mirror, she was not at all polite. “What did you do this time?”

The girl in the mirror gave a light yawn. Her eyes, which had turned crimson, carried a faint mist of moisture, making her whole person look filled with lethargy. She leaned against the mirror and spoke lazily: “What are you shouting about so early in the morning? Don’t you know I need rest too?”

“Don’t give me that nonsense.”

Su Mian didn’t feel like dealing with her.

The Succubus had no choice but to stand straight and take a massive stretch. Her full curves became even more exaggerated due to the movement. Clearly, the person in the mirror was no different from the one outside except for the red eyes, yet the contrast when standing together was so obvious. Every frown and smile of the “self” in the mirror carried temptation; even small movements were filled with seduction.

Fortunately, Su Mian’s resistance toward herself had always been very high; she was completely unmoved.

The Succubus girl also seemed to find it boring. Restraining her posture, she spoke: “What do you want to ask?”

“What happened yesterday? And what happened to my body?”

Su Mian’s two questions were straightforward. The girl in the mirror pondered slightly, seemingly organizing her words. After a moment, she spoke softly: “The matter is a bit complicated. To summarize… there is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

A piece of good news and a piece of bad news?

Looking suspiciously at her other self, Su Mian didn’t know what kind of crooked ideas she was playing at. She fell silent for a moment. “Tell me the good news first.”

“The good news is that for a period of time in the future, we don’t need to worry about power-filled and active blood. The blood of that police officer we’ve met several times is indeed delicious and full of nutrition.”

“What…?”

Su Mian was stunned, then reacted immediately, exclaiming: “Wait, you drank his blood last night!?”

“It was a transaction.”

The Succubus in the mirror smiled mysteriously. The girl outside the mirror slowly furrowed her brows. Although she had considered testing that officer, drinking his blood directly was a bit “over the line.”

But the matter was certainly irreversible; after all, there was a 1,100% chance his blood was now in her stomach.

So, was the heat flowing within her body related to this?

Su Mian thought for a moment and could only set these matters aside for now. She looked up and asked again: “Then what about the bad news?”

“Don’t you want to hear me describe the feeding process? It was quite interesting.”

“Not in the slightest.”

The girl shook her head frantically. She wouldn’t be interested in a Succubus’s “feeding” process!

Wait… she seemed to have used her own body last night. This fellow wouldn’t have used her body to do something improper, would she?

Although she knew very well that the Succubus inside her was completely different from those in various works of fiction, Su Mian couldn’t help but reveal a suspicious gaze. She didn’t want to have a magical setting similar to an adult manga protagonist!

The Succubus girl naturally couldn’t fail to understand her meaning. Facing that dangerous gaze, she had to restrain herself a bit more and said seriously: “It was just ordinary blood-sucking, rest assured. Your body is my body; perfect as I am, how could I go and do those filthy things?”

“So what is your bad news?”

“Oh, I almost forgot.” The girl in the mirror slapped her forehead. “The bad news is that following last night’s feeding, the power within our body will accelerate its awakening.”

This is the bad news?

Su Mian was stunned at first, then realized that for her, this was indeed bad news. Because it meant the demonic side would completely overwhelm the human side.

And she wasn’t done. The mirror girl continued: “Therefore, you need to be careful. Because the power is unstable, your appearance will also be affected accordingly during this period of time.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that for a period of time in the future, your gender might jump back and forth between male and female. Your height will be high one moment and low the next; your upper body will be thin one moment and fat the next; and your lower body… will be there one moment and gone the next.”

“…”

Seeing Su Mian’s face turn dark, the Succubus blinked her eyes and revealed that habitual, seductive smile, saying softly: “Of course, you can also choose to completely embrace me and stop resisting our power. That way, you won’t have to experience such troubles. Being a thorough girl—how nice would that be~”

“Get lost.”

Su Mian was speechless. But if it was truly like this—then this news was indeed too bad. She still had to go to school!

What to do?

She pondered for a long while, but even after racking her brains, she had no good ideas. Thus, the girl could only look up again at her other self in the mirror.

“Setting everything else aside for now, tell me exactly what happened yesterday. Tell me every single detail.”
