It is autumn.
Autumn in the south is not much different from summer; both are characterized by blazing sun and scorching heat.
Only the occasional breeze flowing through the streets makes one feel that summer is fading away.
It's rush hour now, with people coming and going and cars honking.
Qiqi brought Su Yu and Kurumi (Su Jiang) to Baixin Plaza.
Baixin Plaza is a large-scale comprehensive shopping plaza; you can find almost anything you want to buy here.
The three of them walked into the plaza, where the air conditioning was on, dispelling all the heat from walking.
The three of them strolled around the square, seemingly led by Qiqi, but to outsiders, it appeared that both Qiqi and Su Yu were being led by Kurumi (Su Jiang).
The reason is simple: both of them are too young.
Su Yu looked around curiously. It was her first time in such a place. She had heard others talk about it when she was building sandcastles before, and today she finally saw it for the first time.
Just as they had said, it was a treasure trove filled with many treasures!
The first floor is mostly luxury stores, selling things like gold, perfumes, and cell phones, which Qiqi doesn't need.
"By the way, do you need a cell phone?"
Although Kurumi (Su Jiang) didn't seem to mention the phone, he knew that she often took his phone to use.
Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but Qiqi noticed that recently there have been a lot of strange search terms on her phone, and even the related content on Douyin (TikTok) is all about legs, white stockings, and black stockings.
I used to watch this stuff myself, but programmers usually have to work overtime, and after that, they don't have the energy to be silly, so they mostly watch funny and relaxing content.
The sudden appearance of white and black stockings is clearly unrelated to me.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) stroked her chin, realizing she did need a phone, and said, "Buy it."
"Um."
After saying that, Qiqi led the two of them to a mobile phone store at random.
Since I was going to buy one sooner or later anyway, I bought one for Su Yu as well, but with the minor restriction enabled.
When paying, the clerk patted Qiqi's head very kindly and said, "That's amazing! You even know how to pay for adults!"
The way he spoke to her, like he was coaxing a child, made Qiqi blush.
My God, it seems like the soul of that 35-year-old man is gradually breaking down!
After buying the phone, Qiqi took the two of them to get a SIM card.
Su Yu was underage, so her identity was registered using Su Xi's information. Kurumi (Su Jiang) didn't have an ID card either, so her identity was registered using Su Xi's information.
Actually, Su Xi didn't bring her ID card with her either.
I didn't even think about this when I left home.
She transformed into Yūko in the bathroom and used her Word Spirit Art to summon the ID card.
When applying for a SIM card, the information of the applicant and their ID card must match, so Su Xi had no choice but to endure the Mana Backlash and revert to her original form.
The clerk handling the SIM card application glanced at Su Xi several times.
Because she couldn't understand why Su Xi's ID photo allowed her to have dyed hair.
But the system showed that the information was correct, so she had to suppress her curiosity and help her complete the process.
After completing these trivial tasks.
Su Xi had just transformed back into Qiqi in the restroom. It was during working hours, and it was still morning, so there weren't many people in the mall, and she didn't need to worry about being discovered.
The pain from the Mana Backlash was simply unbearable. After transforming back into her original form for a short while, Qiqi felt as if her brain had shrunk a bit from the pain.
The three of them went upstairs to the second floor to buy some daily necessities.
Qiqi already knew what she needed to buy, so following the shopping area signs, Qiqi gathered everything she needed in less than half an hour.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) pushed a shopping cart full of daily necessities, including toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, and a talisman to ward off menstrual cramps.
Qiqi wasn't sure if the real entity would come, so she prepared in advance.
At this time.
Qiqi then looked at the other two and asked, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
"Birthday cake!"
Sitting in the child seat of the shopping cart, Su Yu excitedly raised her hand. She vaguely remembered eating a birthday cake once, on her mother's birthday, and it was so delicious!
"Oh, you can only eat birthday cake on your birthday~" Kurumi said with a smile.
"Ah..." Su Yu's joy visibly subsided.
"However, it's not like you can't eat it even if it's not your birthday..."
Su Yu's eyes lit up again.
"But Xiao Yu is too young; eating this will cause cavities!"
The light from Su Yu went out, and she could only let out a muffled "oh".
Kurumi (Su Jiang) chuckled twice, pinching Su Yu's little face. "You little glutton, Su Xi, didn't you hear? Your darling wants to eat cake~"
Qiqi was both amused and exasperated. She took Su Yu to buy a birthday cake, and when they passed by a toy store, she also bought a giant teddy bear.
Seeing Su Yu's happy expression, Qiqi murmured, "Let's just consider it compensation for missing the birthday. Next time, Dad will throw you a birthday party that's just for you."
Kurumi (Su Jiang) also had a smile on her face.
Of course, while she seemed to be smiling, Qiqi noticed that her face conveyed more of a maternal instinct.
Qiqi had briefly seen this expression on Lin Jing's face, so it left a deep impression on her.
Qiqi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, finding it hard to imagine that she would ever show such an expression again.
Just as the three of them were walking happily.
Kurumi's smile faded.
"Oh my, there's a little mouse following us."
Qiqi: "???"
Looking back, I didn't see anyone suspicious. There were only a few staff members busy packing things up and a few middle-aged women choosing equipment.
"He's coming closer, and he's not wearing any clothes~ Oh my, what a rare pervert."
Kurumi narrowed her dangerous eyes.
"Don't kill anyone."
This is too attention-grabbing. It's still peacetime, and killing someone in public would definitely make headlines.
"Hehe, okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kurumi instantly slashed her hand behind her back while holding the shopping cart.
The hand, reflecting the light, appeared slightly white, a sign that force was being applied.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) was holding something in her hand! The black sleeve of her dress was pushed open haphazardly, revealing the clothes underneath.
"As expected... I knew... I knew you were wearing something shameful! Hehe... Ah... Ah... Cough cough, you actually managed to catch me... You deserve... You deserve to die..."
The invisible man, held in Kurumi's (Su Jiang's ) grasp, spoke in a hoarse voice.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) exerted a little force.
Crackle crackle...
It sounded like bones breaking.
Crimson blood flowed in the void, sliding down onto Kurumi's (Su Jiang's ) hand, and then dripping onto the ground.
At that moment, a naked young man appeared in Kurumi's (Su Jiang's ) hand.
His face was flushed, veins bulged, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with pain, desire, and the joy of discovering a secret.
It was obvious that he was in great pain, so much so that he vomited blood.
After all, Kurumi (Su Jiang) held her fate by the throat.
