How did you find out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How to put it… intuition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and teased, “You just seem like the kind of beautiful woman who’s good at lying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sfan Ni  didn’t laugh; she frowned. “Are you saying all dark elves are deceitful liars?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, no—I didn’t mean any racial prejudice. Don’t overthink it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead, embarrassed. “I just mean—you’re really beautiful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re in another world now—why is this black-skinned woman so sensitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t, I didn’t do that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never persecuted you guys!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sfan Ni ’s brow twitched; she shook her head. “No, even if that’s truly what you think, it doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark elves are indeed a race exceptionally skilled in deception and trickery—this trait runs in our blood. In this regard… I’m no exception.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. I am exactly that kind of person—very skilled at deceiving others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sfan Ni ’s solemn tone left Herbert momentarily speechless; the conversation felt harder to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with this sister?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s terrible at chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you seriously this antisocial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert cleared his throat, forcibly shifting the topic. “Of course, intuition is one thing—but what truly confirmed it was your behavior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth lifted his chin, gesturing toward the lifeless skull on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The biggest flaw is here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I handed it to you just now, you didn’t take it, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Sfan Ni ’s thoughtful expression, speaking slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s your own kind. It’s just a skull. Yet you wouldn’t even touch it… afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Herbert’s gaze slowly swept over the grotesque organs in the room, smiling silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re afraid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who should be afraid is me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, there’s another possibility—you have severe Jiepi  and refuse to touch anything I, a filthy person, have handled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But given how strange that is, I’d rather trust my intuition—that you’re not really here. What stands before me is merely an incredibly lifelike illusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the facts prove my guess correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert stretched his neck contentedly, settling into a more comfortable half-reclining pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His posture, his expression—almost screaming arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh↑ heh↓\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I’ve figured it out, there’s no need for you to keep pretending, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Herbert’s explanation, Sfan Ni  fell silent for a moment, then slowly rose and nodded to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. In that case, Jailor, please follow me. My true body is upstairs—I can’t leave it unattended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Herbert’s reply, she walked straight toward what appeared to be an empty wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she approached, the bark-like wall slowly split open, revealing a dark passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert squinted, staring at the glowing vine-steps, then at the endless darkness above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, I’ve only been circling outside the prison bars. If I go further… the risk becomes real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sfan Ni  turned back at the passage’s entrance, silent, watching him without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you want to see my true form?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now—will you follow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Herbert rose with a smile, stepping lightly after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, there’s no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll see what secret you’re hiding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him follow, Sfan Ni  said nothing, merely nodded silently and led the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage stretched long and deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after Herbert followed Sfan Ni  upstairs, Nenaisha, who had been silent for a long while, couldn’t help speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Hey, how did you figure it out?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“I didn’t tell you—I was waiting to see you laugh… waiting for when you’d finally notice.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert squinted, mentally retorting: “You deliberately left half the sentence unfinished, didn’t you? You’re baiting me, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Of course~”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenaisha grinned without shame. 【“But I’m genuinely curious—your reason isn’t just what you told her, is it?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Beyond what I just said, there’s one crucial point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her reaction upon seeing me was far too calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert calmly stated a reason that sounded slightly self-absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to you, all monsters should feel inexplicable fondness toward me—even if not love, at least some warmth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But she was too calm. Almost unnaturally cold—like she wasn’t even alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, there’s another reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“What?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s… the smell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenaisha: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not right in the head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",947,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","57ef1ad29b0658c38c744435756fa601a3ab9e6751bc663e3feb39d7a94274c7","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-51","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-49",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
