Chapter 480: Sisters Are So Scary
The person who entered was none other than Uka Mirai.
Her jet-black eyes and expressionless face perfectly matched the situation Qingxue had described.
Fang Cheng’s gaze dropped to her hand, where he spotted a fruit knife.
An eerie atmosphere seeped through the room as Uka Mirai appeared, chilling everyone’s heart involuntarily.
Fang Cheng felt no fear, only confusion about her repeated dark transformation – she’d undergone one just three days prior.
Uka Kaori’s reaction proved far more dramatic. The sight of her daughter made her tremble instantly, convinced this was a “catch red-handed” situation.
Without thinking, she tried slipping off the bed’s opposite side.
But Uka Mirai’s speed proved too fast, reaching the bedside immediately.
Frozen in fear, Uka Kaori buried her head beneath the blanket, clinging tightly to Fang Cheng’s body.
Fang Cheng naturally wrapped his arms around her, bundling them together under the blanket like a spring roll.
This left Uka Kaori pressed flush against Fang Cheng’s bare skin – he’d been battling the evil god without clothes earlier. The sudden contact with his firm, heated figure made her face burn as if contagious.
Fang Cheng’s situation grew equally delicate. Uka Kaori wore only a thin silk nightgown with nothing beneath.
Already agitated from Iyaya’s earlier provocations, this full-body contact stoked his flames further. The headlights pressed close inevitably revved his engine.
Uka Kaori retaliated by pinching his back viciously.
Rather than pain, this prompted Fang Cheng to deliberately shift his hips.
Uka Kaori froze completely, not daring to move another muscle.
Uka Mirai stood silently bedside, observing the blanket-shrouded pair with inky eyes.
Fang Cheng met her stare directly. “Mirai, why visit my room so late?”
A eerie smile stretched across Uka Mirai’s face. “I missed you, Cheng-brother.”
As she spoke, her peripheral vision caught movement. She turned toward a suspicious bulge in the blanket – likely Uka Kaori’s rear inadequately concealed by the thin fabric.
Fang Cheng swiftly pressed the protrusion flat.
Uka Kaori nearly yelped, furious yet helpless. With Mirai nearby, this bastard still dared harass her! She bit his chest in silent retaliation.
Fang Cheng rolled his eyes. Trying to help this fox earned him teeth? She clearly needed proper discipline.
With the blanket smoothed, Uka Mirai resumed her silent staring.
Fang Cheng tried again. “You’ve seen me now. Go rest.”
“I can’t sleep alone.”
Uka Mirai shook her head, hope coloring her voice. “Cheng-brother… may I sleep with you?”
Fang Cheng thought for a moment before agreeing, “Alright, lie down here.”
He wanted to maintain contact to observe Uka Mirai’s peculiar state.
Uka Kaori under the blanket froze. She was already on the bed – if Mirai joined them, she’d be discovered.
Abandoning her bites, she began tracing urgent words on Fang Cheng’s back, demanding he find an excuse to refuse.
Fang Cheng stayed motionless. With Uka Mirai in this dark transformation state, refusal might only provoke her and draw Others’ attention.
Uka Mirai’s face lit up with approval, though her smile appeared forced and eerie.
She tugged at the blanket but found it pinned firmly under Fang Cheng’s weight.
Uka Kaori felt the fabric shift, her heartbeat stuttering as she desperately clung to Fang Cheng.
She’d never fear exposure like this… except to her own daughter.
Her entire motherly appearance would collapse in her child’s heart.
“My body’s cold. Stay on top,” Fang Cheng’s voice interrupted.
The pulling ceased immediately as Uka Mirai settled at the bedside.
Uka Kaori exhaled like someone spared from a cliff’s edge, drenched in cold sweat that soaked through her nightgown.
Pressed skin-to-skin against Fang Cheng through damp fabric, the thought burned through her consciousness until her body temperature soared.
Within minutes, Fang Cheng felt like embracing a water spirit – every touch met slick moisture in the drenched blanket.
Uka Mirai lay motionless nearby. The cute, well-behaved illusion held… if one ignored the death-grip on her fruit knife and bottomless dark eyes.
“Cheng-brother.” She turned suddenly. “Will big sisters mind me visiting at night?”
Fang Cheng kept smiling. “They’re not that petty.”
After all, they did the same constantly.
The girl relaxed… then pressed: “What if we share this bed? They wouldn’t… get angry?”
“They won’t.”
They’d just murder you.
Uka Mirai’s fingers whitened around the blade. “They wouldn’t… hit me? Big sisters frighten me.”
Fang Cheng: “…”
“They keep hurting Cheng-brother.” She hugged his blanketed form, murmuring, “Not like me. I only cherish brother.”
Fang Cheng: “…”
He began suspecting this wasn’t dark transformation… but some twisted green mutation.
Iyaya said Uka Mirai’s problem was her own. Though her words weren’t trustworthy, they could be a clue.
The small dog might’ve been haunted by something unclean.
He asked, “Mirai, have you felt anything wrong with your body lately? Any nightmares?”
Uka Mirai whispered, “Yes… I’ve been having nightmares often.”
Fang Cheng was startled. When he’d asked the recovered Uka Mirai earlier, she’d claimed everything was fine—eating and sleeping well.
“What nightmares?”
“I dreamed Cheng-brother stopped liking me. Ignored me.”
Her voice stayed flat, emotionless: “Also dreamed you abandoned me… chose Mom instead.”
Under the blanket, Uka Kaori’s relaxed body suddenly stiffened again.
Fang Cheng’s face froze slightly: “Don’t worry. Dreams are opposite of reality.”
“Really?”
Uka Mirai’s gaze pierced him, voice turning icy: “Then why does Mom’s scent cling to your bed?”
Fang Cheng: “…”
Uka Kaori’s hands nearly crushed Fang Cheng’s waist, her mind blank.
It’s over. Mirai knew.
“Impossible. You’re mistaken!”
Fang Cheng stayed calm, instantly erasing all traces from the bed: “Smell again?”
Uka Mirai sniffed delicately. Nothing remained.
“Seems I was wrong.”
Both Fang Cheng and Uka Kaori exhaled in relief.
Uka Mirai suddenly yanked the blanket.
Fang Cheng reacted faster, clutching the fabric tight.
“Show me!”
Her face stayed blank, voice cold: “If Mom’s not here, prove it.”
Fang Cheng smiled: “I’m naked. Seeing me would ruin your marriage prospects.”
She kept pulling: “Show me!”
Fang Cheng’s arm shot from the blankets to grab her.
Uka Mirai dodged, tumbling off bed while shrieking: “Mom! How long will you hide?!”
The scream ripped through the apartment.
Uka Kaori under the blanket went limp, overcome by weakness.
Fang Cheng cursed inwardly.
Uka Mirai was summoning the entire apartment’s population.
If it were just him and Uka Mirai, things might have been manageable—after all, everyone knew the small dog occasionally underwent dark transformations. But Uka Kaori couldn’t be exposed. If anyone saw her naked and tangled up with him under the blanket, no amount of explaining would clear their names. Had there actually been an affair, Fang Cheng would’ve admitted it outright, even if it meant being chopped into pieces. The problem was the lack of any affair, coupled with the risk to Uka Kaori’s reputation.
He suddenly grasped that Iyaya’s so-called “new trick” wasn’t “role-playing” but rather a “group catch-red-handed.”
Lights had already flickered on in several apartment rooms. Fang Cheng’s sharp hearing detected multiple doors creaking open and footsteps racing toward them. Qingxue from the neighboring room arrived fastest—she’d burst in any second. If caught like this, social death might be avoidable, but physical annihilation seemed certain.
Fang Cheng acted decisively, encasing Uka Mirai entirely in blood. Using Vector Control, he propelled himself, Uka Kaori, and the blanket straight through the window. Glass shattered as they crashed to the ground, then darted into the apartment’s rear garden.
Qingxue charged into the room just in time to see a blanket-wrapped “spring roll” smash through the window. Frozen momentarily, she regained her senses and leaped through the broken window. Her body shifted into feline form mid-air, riding a summoned icy gust in pursuit. Though unsure why Lord Cheng had vanished, she couldn’t let this strange bundle escape.
After Qingxue’s exit, Kanzaki Rin and Ye Yuqing barged in, witnessing her transformation. Exchanging glances, they gave chase without hesitation. Kanzaki Rin ordered the nine-tailed fox to guard their base against intruders.
Fang Cheng sensed the pursuing crowd without turning. Shaking off most would be easy, but Ye Yuqing—empowered by Tsukimi Narumi—raced after them in silver boots, her speed blurring her into an afterimage.
Vaulting the garden wall with mother and daughter in tow, Fang Cheng zigzagged through city streets. “Stop right there!” Ye Yuqing shouted, leaving others behind. Emboldened by her Proxy Goddess identity, she feared no risks.
When circling failed to lose her, Fang Cheng ducked into a deserted alley. Blood surged from his body, coalescing into an identical “spring roll” that bolted in another direction. Meanwhile, he hid the pair in an empty house.
Ye Yuqing stormed into the alley mere seconds later, chasing the decoy until it disappeared from sight.
