After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 174: Fox-like Eyes

Hearing Yu Jiao’s question, Mu Chengsi’s face flashed with a hint of confusion.

Bewitched?

She remembered that in that instance, she had been constantly suspicious of Bo Jingmo, and then during the banquet, she’d caught him and the vampire together—sure enough, they were on the same side. That woman even tried to lure her into killing Shen Youyou together. In the end, because of her character setting, she was forced to agree.

It all seemed like part of a normal plot.

So she answered honestly, “I ran into Bo Jingmo being bitten by that vampire at the time, but the actual bewitching probably happened earlier—maybe when he helped the vampire upstairs. As for what happened in the room, I don’t know.”

She hadn’t expected Yu Jiao’s expression to flicker with surprise upon hearing that. Her tone became hesitant: “Bo Jingmo… let that vampire get close to him?”

“Yeah, as for the reason…”

The moment she thought of that face, Mu Chengsi’s heart suddenly thumped heavily.

She stared blankly and clutched her chest, not understanding why she was reacting this way.

Could it be that she’d been so overwhelmed by their beauty that even after leaving the instance, she still couldn’t forget them?

She paused, ignored the strange feeling in her chest, and continued speaking once she met Yu Jiao’s gaze:

“As for the reason… maybe it’s because that NPC was really good-looking.”

People really are visual creatures.

Even a lunatic like Bo Jingmo could fall for their looks.

But Yu Jiao frowned slightly without showing it.

She knew Mu Chengsi wasn’t lying—every word she said was true.

But Bo Jingmo had seen plenty of beauties. That NPC could make him approach just with a face? Just how good-looking were they?

Yu Jiao had played similar vampire instances before, and she had to admit—those creatures did indeed have striking and glamorous looks.

But Bo Jingmo actually let that NPC bite him?

That was unbelievable.

Did he really do it because he was attracted to the NPC’s face, or… was he just enduring it to clear the instance?

If it’s the latter…

Yu Jiao pushed up her glasses, lips tightening as a hard-to-read emotion flickered in her eyes.

That meant Bo Jingmo’s growth rate had far exceeded their expectations.

He was already starting to control his episodes. With more training later on, he might meet their requirements earlier than expected.

She looked at Mu Chengsi. “Can you describe what that NPC looked like?”

Mu Chengsi frowned and thought about it. “That’s hard to describe.”

After all, beauty—even if you use the most dazzling words—can’t compare to the shock of seeing it in person.

Yu Jiao’s eyes flickered with disappointment at that.

But suddenly, Mu Chengsi added,

“Oh right, there was one thing I remember clearly—the NPC had beautiful eyes.”

“Eyes?”

“Yeah.” She touched her chin, thinking carefully. “That NPC had a pair of really pretty fox-like eyes.”

Those eyes always carried a faint smile when looking at someone, like they had some kind of magical power. You just couldn’t help but stare, and by the time you realized it, they had already set up all sorts of traps—just waiting for you to walk into them.

Thinking about how she’d been led by the nose in the instance, Mu Chengsi couldn’t help clicking her tongue twice internally. She sighed—there was just no defending against it.

She didn’t notice at all that after she said “fox-like eyes,” Yu Jiao’s face froze completely.

The woman’s expression went blank. She stared down at her phone, her eyes distant, mumbling to herself: “Fox-like eyes, huh…”

That was a familiar facial feature.

Ever since that person left, she’d tried hard to avoid similar traits, forcing herself not to think about it.

She didn’t expect to hear it again today—from an NPC.

Realizing she was reminiscing again, Yu Jiao quickly shut her eyes and let out a long breath, feeling an inexplicable desire to drop the topic.

“Alright, I got it.”

She looked at Mu Chengsi. “About Yi Xian’s case—I saw the cause of death in the form. Since she was killed by an NPC while acting alone, there’s nothing we can do. But according to the rules, you’ll still have to hand over points as a penalty.”

Mu Chengsi pressed her lips together and nodded. “Okay.”

That about wrapped up the conversation. There was no point in asking further, so Yu Jiao turned to the other person on the couch. “Rong Fan, didn’t I send you to investigate Bo Jingmo? Why are you back?”

Rong Fan had come specifically to talk about this. He frowned slightly. “I’m afraid we can’t keep investigating.”

Yu Jiao’s face turned stern at his words, and her tone grew serious. “What happened?”

“I got word that Bo Jingmo’s been investigating us in return,” Rong Fan said. His face was expressionless, but there was a hint of frustration in his tone. “If we keep digging, he might even figure out who we really are.”

“He’s… noticed something?”

Rong Fan shook his head. “Not sure. I’d like to know too.”

Bo Jingmo had never paid attention to deva before, but now he’d suddenly started lashing out at them.

If their superiors hadn’t suppressed the matter, Bo Jingmo might’ve already gotten hold of their activities.

Rong Fan offered a guess: “Maybe someone slipped up, and he picked up on it.”

But no one had been sent to investigate Bo Jingmo—how could there be any risk of exposure?

The only person at risk…

In an instant, both their eyes turned to Mu Chengsi.

“……”

Mu Chengsi wasn’t stupid. She immediately understood Rong Fan was hinting at her. She frowned and explained, “Yeah, I’m in the same school as him, but we hardly talk. I even make a point to avoid him. How could I have been exposed?”

Hearing the honesty in her words, Yu Jiao frowned and tapped her phone screen with her fingertip, suddenly unsure where the mistake had happened.

After a moment, she suddenly asked, “Chengsi, has Bo Jingmo been acting strange lately?”

Hearing that, Mu Chengsi paused. “Strange?”

She frowned and thought. “Not really?”

That’s impossible.

Then why had deva’s activities suddenly been exposed?

Yu Jiao’s gut told her that Bo Jingmo must’ve met someone—someone who told him something.

She kept asking: “Has he met with anyone recently? Or been in contact with someone?”

Mu Chengsi opened her mouth without thinking: “No…”

But halfway through, her voice trailed off. Something flashed through her mind, but it was too quick—she couldn’t catch it.

“Chengsi?”

The voice snapped Mu Chengsi back to attention. Facing Yu Jiao’s probing, suspicious gaze, she moved her lips:

“No… I don’t think so. At least, I haven’t seen anyone.”

After all, in her memory, Bo Jingmo had always been a loner. He’d never gotten close to anyone.
