Prelude to the Christmas Blood Sacrifice (2)

A cold wind, carrying the chill of winter, blew towards the girl who dared to spend the night in the wild. She calmly tossed out a Poké Ball... no, it was Hiyokomaru. With the Miko maiden trapped in the Stigmata Space and unable to appear, it was one of the few powers that Luming could borrow from her lover, besides Cherry Blossom Blizzard.

She patted the area above her buttocks, summoned her tail (which was paralyzed by the low temperature and couldn't spring out automatically), wrapped it around her lower abdomen (which couldn't easily get cold), Luming for the giant fox form, Hiyokomaru, to raise her tail, creating a natural tent for herself.

After the Guotie finished eating and using the toilet, she let them lie down next to her. The toddler lay on the pet's belly, holding the sleeping Crimson Kite's Wings in her arms, and the hibernating Mobius wrapped around her ankle. Luming fell asleep in the wild.

Originally, she only intended to put on a show to Fu Hua's Father... Now, she's going to get serious.

—The hearts of parents and children are truly pitiful—

In the Luming's Courtyard, Fu Hua, with gauze on her face, silently moved materials to repair the hole she had bumped into. Little Xuan, panting, brought over a small piece of wood to help, but Kalpas threw it aside.

"Hey, woman, how's it going?"

With panda eyes, Fu Hua's Father had very mixed feelings and didn't want to say much at the moment, but Brother Jie didn't think so.

"Do you even know how resilient a witch can be? Last time I couldn't take it anymore and spanked her, that girl only gave me a few days of sullen treatment (that time Luming accidentally ruined part of Brother Jie's garden while riding her Guotie); and the time before that, she went out to a party with some buddies, got drunk and came back acting crazy, but she was only a little more mischievous than before (Luming refers to pinning Brother Jie against the wall and drunkenly asking if she wanted to introduce him to someone); and the time before that..."

Fu Hua's head throbbed even more as she watched Qian Jie chatter on Kalpas.

Is this the Kalpas I know? This must be an OOC version of Kalpas from fanfiction!

(Those who think Brother Jie's character is Honkai, please leave a comment.)

He's not so aggressive anymore! If it were the old him, I wouldn't be surprised if he sent me to the ICU!

In fact, after arriving at the scene after hearing the loud noise, Brother Jie looked at the mess in the room and Fu Hua who was stunned. After getting the details from Little Xuan, he almost beat her to death.

He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for this little girl, but at least he was equal to those brats who were always bothering him, probably.

If it weren't for the damn familiar feeling this woman with glasses gave him, he wouldn't have held back!

The Five-Dimensional Sisters had been eating and staying for free for a long time, were all forcibly thrown out into the mountains to search for someone, except for Star Sea Wind, who escaped because of her size. It's almost Christmas, why are they out here in the cold? Come back and have some roast chicken!

A certain red-grass chicken, who hadn't yet rejoined the team but was about to make its debut, suddenly sneezed.

—This dungeon is too easy. They should add more monsters, otherwise it's a disgrace to Xing's leaderboard.—

La—La—La!!!

Chen Bao mustered all his strength and stood halfway up the mountain, shouting at the top of his lungs. His voice, though slightly fierce, carried far, far away...

Dust Language Translator: Lucky! Time to go home and eat Chi Yu... turkey!

Although the little jellyfish, bundled up in thick clothes, was very reluctant, she still obediently went out with her two older sisters to look for someone. After all, Luming was a rare friend who could accompany them for eternity in their countless years on this planet.

"It's so cold... I feel like I'm going to freeze into ice." Haiyi exhaled warm breath, rubbed her small hands, which were covered in cotton gloves, and asked her sister, "Sister Qiong, do you think if we just wait like this, she'll come back on her own?"

"It's very possible, but the process will be a bit long, and the results will be different. Luming ran away from home because of a communication problem with her parents. If she goes home after getting angry, the conflict itself won't be resolved, and subsequent communication will be more troublesome. But if we find her first, then we can..."

The perceptive Cang Qiong explained to the bewildered Haiyi, while Stardust, who was shouting towards the mountains through a megaphone, gestured for the two to look over, "Look, there seems to be something moving on the mountaintop? It's as white as snow... Huh?"

The three were silent for a moment, then the feng shui team all looked at the bewildered Stardust: "Did you shout too loudly and cause an avalanche?!"

"I'm innocent!!!"

And so, under the helpless gaze of the Cang Qiong, Haiyi pounced on Stardust, who was trying to escape through a wormhole, and the three of them were buried under the thick snow.

Don't worry about them. What is a deadly danger for ordinary humans is a playground for the five-dimensional beings.

In fact, even the slightest sound in a snow-covered mountain can trigger an avalanche, so please, students with good manners, do not shout in snowy mountain areas~ Of course, those who are eager to be reincarnated should take this bowl of Meng Po soup with them.

—Feather Gate (Red Grass Chicken is coming soon!)—

Luming slept very well that night.

Thanks to Lobster Doctor's bunch of boring inventions, there were few mosquitoes to bother her, and with the panda mattress, the fox warm tent, and the Crimson Kite pillow, her sleep quality was excellent.

But I'm still so annoyed.

Just like in a past life when you were scolded by your parents, you would keep looking for reasons to refute them in your mind, but you didn't dare to say it to their faces.

Parents are always right, and children are always wrong; it's only natural.

Bullshit.

Most of the time, it is indeed the fault of immature children, but when your son gets into a fight at school, instead of caring whether he won or not, what's the meaning of your first scolding? What, do you want peace and harmony? The other party might just punch you and curse you out.

PS: This is based on the author's personal experience.

In short, as someone who grew up in China and learned a little bit of wisdom from what I've seen and heard, the only truth I believe in is: might makes right.

Love? Courage? Without power, they're all bullshit.

If you have no money, you can forget about getting even one of those girls who have been with rich people.

Therefore, when scolded by Fu Hua, Xing, unable to bear it any longer, chose to transform.

Come on, try lecturing me again? Do you even have the right?

The body can influence consciousness. I can't deny that I was a bit too impulsive, but it felt great, 100 times better than masturbation.

Although he was furious, he managed to retain his composure. When he started choking Fu Hua, he lost control of his strength and, after calming down a bit, gently tossed her away.

What, you're saying I call this "handling with care"?

Come on, Xing Zi, show them what "retake and replay" really means! Be careful, don't wipe out Europe.

Ahem, getting back to the main point, as for the follow-up, I feel that I have no responsibility or reason to bow down to Fu Hua.

So, who has he wronged?

If he hadn't summoned the GaoGiant Bear King, those two Honkai Beasts would have caused even greater destruction before Schicksal or Anti-Entropy arrived. Besides, this whole affair was the result of that country's own actions.

Ugh, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Luming angrily pushed away the sleeping Guotie, dressed herself, and crawled out of the fox tail. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of cat ears flashing in the snow.

Luming raised her chin and thought seriously for 0.1 seconds, then took a sparkling gem out of her pocket and tossed it casually—

"Meow! Don't waste it! Don't give it to us!"

Pardo had come out to find her owner and successfully located her target, instantly dropped her disguise and caught the gem with a hungry tiger pounce, but was immediately tied up by Judah.

Seeing Luming staring at her with an expressionless face, Pardo an awkward smile and said weakly, "Um, Little Xing, would you believe me if I said I just came out to push a snowman?"

Upon hearing this, Luming flashed a bright smile, "I believe you~❤"

After a while...

Pardo, piled up like a snowman with only her head sticking out, cried out with a mournful face, "Little Xing, I'll confess anything, please spare my cat life."

"Tell me, did that old fogey send you?"

"Hua, Sister Hua asked me to call you home for dinner..."

"No way! Tell her to get as far away as possible! Who wants to go back with that inflexible, perpetually flat-headed, bland-food-everything... the absolute biggest blockhead in history?!"

Seeing the toddler rattle off so much in one breath, Pardo broke out in a cold sweat. Was Little Xing going through a rebellious phase, or had Sister Hua gone too far with her scolding? This intense resentment was practically setting her tail on fire...

Pardo recalls what happened before she set off—

"Please, Pardo, find Little Xing and bring her back. I'll give you all my savings!"

"But Sister Hua, Little Xing is much richer than you. If she tries to bribe me... you know what will happen."

The Crimson Kite Immortal, who had never saved any money in 50,000 years and lived a simple life, became even more withdrawn.

"... By the way, how did you find me?" Luming asked belatedly after taking a sip of water from her thermos during a break.

Pardo lowered her head desperately, Luming instantly understood, revealing an ambiguous expression. "Sorry, I forgot to plant this for you... cough cough, don't worry, I'll try my best to find a way to remove it for you in the future!"

Or, like Rita, you could cover it up with a layer of realistic human skin. Luming thought to herself.

"Oh, Little Xing, come back with us. Brother Jie, Sister Amo, Little Gresh, and all the girls you brought back are worried about you, and your male... male friend Kane -chan."

Originally intending to lighten the mood with a joke, Pado noticed the murderous glint in Luming's eyes and Pardo pulled back from the brink. "Besides, Christmas is coming soon. Wouldn't it be better to stay home and warm yourself by the fire? It's freezing outside, and there's nothing good to eat. Brother Jie has specially prepared a super delicious roasted turkey for you! And other delicious food too!"

The toddler's throat bobbed; he was somewhat tempted.

"And Sister Hua is also working on repairing your model figures..."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

Before Pardo could finish speaking, Luming ordered Hiyokomaru to pick Pardo up and bury her in the snow, leaving only her head sticking out. She then transformed into Magical Girl and rushed back in a hurry.

I left Little Te there before I left so she could help me fix it, but that old-fashioned guy is helping... It might have been fixed before, but now it's probably hopeless!

—It's just like when a naughty kid comes into your room during Chinese New Year—

Fu Hua's Father and Chrono Chaos Father stood anxiously at the gate, the falling snowflakes turning them into snowmen. Finally, someone knocked on the gate.

Kalpas excitedly pushed aside Fu Hua, who was trying to open the door, and forcefully pulled the door down. A white-haired loli dressed in thick clothes came into view.

P. S.: The door was accidentally dismantled because I used too much force.

"Yo, witch, who do you think you are... you brat, who are you?"

Kalpas's excitement immediately subsided. At first glance, they looked somewhat similar, but this girl had pure white fur and blue eyes. She was also taller than the shrunken Luming. Most importantly, the one he raised looked much cuter, smarter, more intelligent, and more decisive than this one (Brother Jie's inner thoughts, which amounted to more than 100,000 words, are omitted below)!

Theresa coughed awkwardly a few times, carefully comparing the image in the photo in her mind, and then uttered the words she had already prepared, "Hello, I am Luming Lady's godmother— Theresa Apollyon. Has she returned yet?"

Kalpas silently squatted down, measured her height with his hand, and nodded thoughtfully, "So... you can also change size at will?"

???

Theresa's small eyes were filled with great confusion. Seeing this, Fu Hua, who was being pushed into the snowdrift by Brother Jie, quickly explained, "Luming is a special case. Theresa has always looked like a little girl because of a genetic issue."

Brother Jie said "Oh," and slammed the door back into place. "So that's how it is. What a waste of my time, damn it!"

Theresa & Fu Hua: "..."

Fortunately, in the end, Brother Jie still let the Silly Mom in. After a brief conversation, he finally believed that the short man was not pretending to be young or silly, but was genuinely born stupid and cute.

Parents are communicating (please use your imagination to fill in the scene, characters' expressions, and actions based on the dialogue) —

(Whispering) Headmaster, what brings you here?

"(Angry) How dare you say that? I sent you here to help you bring Little Xing back to the St. Freya Academy so we could have a happy Christmas together. And what did you do? You didn't even tell me Little Xing ran away from home right away. If Ai-chan hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known this was the second time in such a short time!!!"

"(Irritated) Hmph, learn from her. This shorty may look a bit dim-witted, but she's much better than that rigid guy. Wait, I remember the witch said her full name is Chen Xilumeng. Is that her stage name or her real name?"

"(Hesitating) Uh, let's count them all. Little Xing's real name is Xing. Hey, Fu Hua, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and come out with me to look for her!"

"(Hesitating) But Little Xing is so smart, if she wants to, it will be hard to find..."

"(With unwavering determination) We still have to look for her, right? That child is angry and won't back down right now, but she'll be very happy to see someone come looking for her!"

"(Slightly satisfied) Not bad, shorty, I find you quite pleasing to the eye."

(Helplessly) Please don't call me shorty...

"(Smugly) Hmph, come with me, I guarantee she'll be back on her own in no time!"

The puzzled two followed Kalpas to the highest point of the Luming's Courtyard. There, Brother Jie stood on the roof, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly towards the distant wilderness:

Witch!

If you don't come back soon—I'm going to format your computer!!!

"Stop! You monster!!!"

No sooner had the words left her lips than a furious yet childish voice rang out above the three of them. The Christmas limited edition red and green Magical Girl Luming, descended from the sky, with even some details of her outfit altered.

Otto's contribution~

Luming landed in front of the three of them in a sullen mood, walked past them silently, and stumbled back after only a few steps. Then, belatedly, she touched Theresa, whose eyes were filled with tears.

"...Mother?"

"Little Xing! Are you cold outside? Are you hungry? Has anyone been bullying you lately? Have you been eating and sleeping healthily? Has anyone been secretly going to fight? Do you have any new wounds? Do you want Mom to stay with you... (N words omitted)"

Fu Hua silently watched the heartwarming interaction between the mother and daughter, and left without saying a word.

Kalpas stared at that somewhat lonely figure, then glanced at Luming was a little overwhelmed, and her overly enthusiastic Silly Mom, and cursed her in exasperation.

But at that moment, Luming suddenly covered her head, a pained expression on her face, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the city.

"What's wrong, Little Xing (the witch)?!" The two, noticing something was amiss, immediately asked with concern.

Luming did not answer, but stared straight at the city.

Located in the countryside, far from the city, only a blurry outline could be seen. But at this moment, Luming seemed to be possessed by the Second Brother of the Calabash Brothers, her vision overcoming numerous obstacles to see the scene far away.

Towering flames, a crumbling building, innocent victims screaming in agony amidst the flames, and firefighters battling the raging inferno...

"I heard it..." Luming said almost inaudibly.

"What did you hear? ×2" Kalpas and Theresa asked in unison.

Without wasting any more time, she shot towards the city like an arrow, heading straight for the place where the disaster had occurred.

I heard their prayers.

The Magical Girl Lady was completely focused, pushing her speed to the limit of her armor, and in her hand, she tightly gripped a bright red bottle.

Author's Note—

Please remember, today is April 1st.

This is China, there is no April Fool's Day.

22 years ago today, an aviation hero named Wang Wei defended the dignity of his motherland with his own flesh and blood.

Even if J-8, 81192 is unable to return.

Heroes should not be forgotten, and history should not be forgotten! We cherish peace, but that doesn't mean we can forget past grievances with a smile!

We are not strong enough now, and can only be forced to take a beating, but now—

Motherland, please don't let us down. Bring back those beasts—I'm sorry, I've insulted our hardworking livestock—from those demons. Please rescue our national treasures from their clutches...

Motherland, I admired you in my childhood and had absolute loyalty to you, and I still do now. Please do not let your people down.
