Chapter 712 - 637: Curtain Call? The Stronger I Become, the Stronger He Gets! (Part 2)

Then, she wiped away the tears on her face and turned to look at [Mask], with the sweetest smile blooming on her face:

"Thank you for letting me have this supper all to myself, it was delicious, this is for you."

She didn’t ask a single word more, and directly handed the sheepskin scroll to [Mask].

This clever and obedient demeanor is truly something worth learning for countless women/monsters in love.

[Mask] gazed deeply at "cloth doll."

Beneath the mask, the [Kaleidoscope•Blood Bar Deceit Eye] eerily rotated, a black, white, and red halo swirling and transforming within the deep eye sockets.

His gaze penetrated the sweet smile of the "cloth doll," seeing the twisted "affection" and "submission" deep in her soul, as well as the caution and cunning she maintained after her transformation.

"I’ve never seen an evil spirit with such good acting skills, truly able to pass falsehoods for reality." [Mask] mused to himself.

However, he will not take the initiative to expose the experience bag, after all, since the system continues to recognize the other as this, why would he reveal her.

Instead of immediately taking the sheepskin scroll, he asked in a low, metallic-sounding voice devoid of emotion:

"Aren’t you curious about the secrets hidden in this sheepskin scroll?"

The "cloth doll" met his gaze without the slightest deceit and honestly shook her head:

"I’m curious, but if you’re unwilling to tell, I won’t ask."

The "cloth doll" knows very well that, with a monster like [Mask], curiosity and unnecessary questions are extremely dangerous.

If she were the Puppet Mother, she naturally could easily pry open the opposite party’s mind, but she was just a seed, needing to grow together with this shell, she was still far from being a powerful evil spirit.

So facing potentially stronger monsters, absolute trust and submission are the wisest, most pleasing choice.

If she is to love him, she must love him entirely, including his unspeakable secrets.

Absolute trust between people means having no secrets from each other, but absolute trust between monsters means never probing into each other’s secrets.

Through the ghastly, cold mask on his face, [Mask] chuckled lightly, the kaleidoscope in his pupils eerily rotating.

The "cloth doll" instinctively met [Mask]’s eyes.

In an instant, she felt as if her soul was being sucked into a mirrored maze, a chilling dread from the depths of her soul suddenly sweeping over her entire body.

This wasn’t a warning that the opposite party intended to harm her, but akin to standing at the edge of an abyss, even if doing nothing, just looking down, that overwhelming sense of "presence" itself would invoke a primal horror and shudder in the soul.

"Having just finished her supper and transcended in power, opening the third eye..."

A storm raged in the "cloth doll"’s heart, the red-glowing slit-like pupil at her brow subtly contracting,

"Why is it that, when I look at [Mask] again, I feel the gap between us is growing wider?!"

This feeling is absurd yet utterly real.

Before her transformation, [Mask] just seemed unfathomable.

After evolving, with her strength skyrocketing, [Mask] seems even more unfathomable?

So, the more I transform, the weaker I become?

No, it should be, the stronger I grow, the more I can "see" [Mask]’s strength.

It’s not about the disparity in strength, but about a crushing dimensional downgrade of existence.

No, as far as she knows, Zheng Hang became [Mask] not too long before her, right?

At most a month, at most two months.

Is the first-mover advantage really that significant among monsters?

Or is it that [Mask] is fundamentally different from me, he’s not a parasite of [Evil Sacrifice], nor a seed of another evil sacrifice, but...

"But what?"

The "cloth doll" couldn’t quite figure it out yet.

This realization left the "cloth doll" not only shocked but also involuntarily breeding a kind of ineffable excitement deep within her heart?

The one she fell in love with is indeed far beyond her imagination, a monster mesmerizing to monsters!

The "cloth doll" stubbornly and persistently stared into [Mask]’s eyes.

But only 2 seconds later!

Her will was like a string stretched to its limit, emitting a noise as if about to snap.

Her vision blurred and darkened slightly, and countless unnameable yet maddening whispers seemed to buzz in her ears, burrowing into her brain.

Staring down his sister, it was impossible to stare for another moment.

The "cloth doll" couldn’t bear it and ultimately, following her heart, urgently avoided her lover’s deep gaze.

She lowered her head, breathing rapidly, the light of the vertical pupil at her brow subduing unknowingly.

Actually.

The "cloth doll" misunderstood.

It’s not that the stronger she becomes, the more she can "see" how strong [Mask] is.

Although this understanding isn’t wrong, the main reason is that... While the "cloth doll" enjoyed her supper, [Mask] wasn’t idle either.

He too was indulging, absorbing something even more nourishing than her.

The "cloth doll" savored Feng Ju, while [Mask] feasted on ""cloth doll" enjoying Feng Ju"!

Only then did [Mask] slowly take the sheepskin scroll, similarly not opening it but suddenly changing his tone, somberly saying:

"I heard earlier, you said... the one who cares about you the most in this world is Feng Mu?"

The "cloth doll" felt a chill in her heart, thinking [Mask] was jealous.

When monsters fall in love, it’s best not to make the other jealous because the next step after jealousy could very well be devouring you.

Her mind raced, a blush appearing on her face as she shyly said:

"Yes, the one who cares for me most in this world is [Mask], but my favorite monster..."
