Chapter 88: A Fight Between Sisters (1/2)

Ahh, what am I going to do about this issue surrounding my gender!

Truth be told, I shouldn’t blame him either. After all, the problem stemmed from my own body. However, the question then becomes, exactly what went wrong with my body that caused me to be neither a man nor a woman. Did I botch my reincarnation and ended up in a female fetus? Or did I turn into a female because of some strange reason?

I still don’t know the answers to these questions but I guess I’ll have to put them aside for now. What’s more important now is to stop him from calling me Lady Lust Demon!

And so, I decided to draw his attention to my name instead. “You can call me Mo Ke instead.”

With this hint, Harlow no longer harped on the issue of my gender. “Mo Ke? Your name?”

“That’s right. If you can call yourself Harlow, why can’t I name myself Mo Ke?” I threw him a disinterested look before focusing back on Majosha who was currently leading the way. “Your help is definitely a major boost for our cause, I’m just not sure about Manasha’s thoughts on this matter.”

“I’m sure she doesn’t want to rot in this maze either.” Habona chimed in. “No one is willing to be confined for their entire lives.”

Majosha nodded in agreement. “Mhm, I think she will agree as well.”

“She won’t.” Manasha abruptly turned around and broke her long kept silence. With a casual flick of her tail, she shattered the three skeletons that just came out from around the bend.

She slithered towards us with an expressionless look on her face, completely disregarding the remaining skeletons as she curtly said: “If you wish to assault the exit, that’s your own business. It has nothing to do with me or my sister. You’re free to get yourself killed if you wish but don’t drag my sister along with you.”

“Sis watch out!”

Making use of her momentary distraction, several skeletons launched a sneak attack on her turned back. In spite of the impending danger, her face was as unfazed as ever as her snake hair calmly reared their heads and spat out globs after globs of green fluid like a machine gun.

The shower of green acid tore through the skeletons, sparing no one as it swiftly dissolved their bony white bodies. Soon, there was nothing but a pile of pus lying on the floor, their soul flames nowhere to be found.

“I said so already, there’s no way I’ll allow her to leave with you all. If she wants to leave the maze, she can do so by herself!”

“But Sis, Harlow is only a three-star, if I don’t accompany him…”

“No buts!” She forcefully interrupted her and glared at her sister with a gaze that left no room for refusal: “This time, you WILL listen to me!”

Well, things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse… I had originally thought that they would be in this together and she would be more than willing to help us. Even if she wasn’t willing to, I didn’t expect her to object. Unfortunately, reality was markedly different from my expectations; she had rejected us without a shred of hesitation. On top of that, she had even forbidden her sister from accompanying us.

Weren’t we comrades just a second ago…what’s with the sudden change in tone…

“Sis, there’s no way I’m leaving Harlow alone!” In the face of her sister’s refusal, she prepared herself for battle as well. She wrapped her arms around Harlow’s arm and leaned in, clearly showing her intention to stay with him.

“From the moment he showed that he wasn’t afraid of me, I knew that he was the one for me. I took an oath, from that day on, wherever he went, I would by his side!”

“Shasha…” Harlow was deeply touched by her courageous confession. However, just as he was about to say something, his weakened body gave way under the weight of Majosha and fell to the ground, pulling her along with him…

Everyone: “…”

“Harlow…are you alright?” Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that her brother would be so…potato as to fall just from a female leaning on him…

She immediately rushed in to help the couple up.

“Look at him, he’s so weak, there’s no way he can protect you.” Manasha threw him an exasperated and disdainful look. “If you’re a man, then you should have some self-consciousness. If you really wish to leave the maze with Majosha, you can do that once you’ve reached four-star.”

“The only reason Harlow is so weak is because of those harpies.” Without even waiting for Harlow to respond, she stepped in to defend her boyfriend once more. “What if I insist on leaving with him?”

“Then I will just have to make you stay.” As those words left her mouth, she rushed at Majosha without any prior warning.

“Sis! Don’t take things too far!”

“The one who is going overboard is you!”

The two sisters ended up in a furious brawl at the drop of a hat. Thankfully, both of them still maintained their sense of reason. The fighting was merely limited to their claws without any poison spits on both sides.

“Stop fighting…stop fighting…” He was beside himself with worry but he was simply too weak to interfere in this fight between two four-stars. With no other option available to him, he decided to ask his sister for help. “Sis, help me pull those two apart…”

Habona assented with a nod of her head. She lowered me onto the ground before leaping right into the heated fight. With a swift grip of her claws, she grabbed onto both their heads and tossed them to the side before their snake hairs could bite her.

The entire sequence happened within the span of a breath. The lightning quick sneak attack gave the sisters no chance to react before she turned them into a pair of snake discuses.
