Chapter 172

Why do I have such an intense competitive spirit towards Xie Qingxuan? Seeing him being intimate with Xiao Qing makes me lose my temper so easily... Could it be... they are destined rivals!?

These thoughts flashed through my mind only briefly before being overwhelmed by intense shame.

Regardless, I have indeed made a grave mistake!

Waaaaah, now that things have come to this, the only way I can atone for my sins is by committing suicide!!!

The girl's eyes welled up with tears, becoming unfocused like round circles. Her face flushed crimson, almost steaming. Her small hands rummaged around under the covers, as if searching for a katana, and she stammered incoherently:

"Xiao Qing, I'm sorry, I... I... I didn't mean to."

After saying that, Little Sakura felt it was too shameless. What did she mean by "not intentional"? She was clearly just consumed by jealousy, which is why she did it. So she immediately changed her tune:

"No, I did it on purpose."

But what's even stranger is that it sounds like he's saying, "So what if we kissed? What are you going to do about it?" It's very self-righteous and has the arrogant feel of a scion of a powerful family bullying a respectable woman in public.

Kiriwake Yayoi became even more anxious. She felt she had never been so tongue-tied before, and said with teary eyes:

"Waaaaah, Xiao Qing, please punish me severely!"

Xie Qingxuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She seemed to have misunderstood something, but her innocent face showed no remorse; she simply nodded expectantly and said:

"Xiao Qing, she's right. Punish me severely."

Chu Yuanqing felt a headache coming on. Her mouth was filled with the fragrance of young girls, a mixture of lily of the valley, jasmine, grapefruit, and orange blossom oil. She wondered what kind of candy the two children had eaten before they came, which was meant to be used for naughty things. Her lips also felt a little numb.

Punishment? If we keep punishing them, this won't be a children's channel anymore!

Moreover... that Heart Tide clearly belonged to Little Liuli. What if she witnessed the absurd scene just now? What if her old illness relapsed and she suffered a complete mental breakdown?

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanqing was extremely worried. She quickly threw off the covers, stepped over Xie Qingxuan's plump and slender legs, and walked out with immense guilt. In her mind, she had already conjured up a pitiful image of the Green Eyed Cat running away while crying, hiding in the bathroom and pounding the floor in tears.

Kiriwake Yayoi thought the other person was angry, so she hurriedly got out of bed and chased after him like a timid wife, wondering how to apologize.

Xie Qingxuan followed closely behind, not even wearing slippers, walking barefoot on the cold ground, and pushed open the door with Chu Yuanqing.

So, the three of them saw the scene outside the door almost simultaneously.

The Green Eyed Cat was curled up on the ground, her eyes reddened, her thick eyelashes glistening with water droplets, and a blissful smile on her lips, as if she were experiencing bliss in a dream. She looked like a little match girl who sold matches in winter and eventually froze to death on the street, possessing a kind of artistic beauty.

Yes, if the posture were just a little more correct, it would be like a flower of hope blooming in my brain.

Xie Qingxuan pondered for a moment, looked at the cat with some pity, and gave a very fair evaluation:

"Liuli, so pitiful. I will carry on her spirit and continue to strive."

Kiriwake Yayoi suddenly felt that her troubles weren't so bad after all, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"It's so strange. We're the three of us who should be socially dead, but it feels like Liuli is the one who's socially dead the most right now."

Chu Yuanqing sighed and tapped the Golden Haired Doggy on the head, scolding it:

"Don't talk about Liuli as if she's dead."

After the girl finished speaking, she squatted down, pinched the cat's cheeks, checked its eyelids, and called out to it a few times before waking the child from her unconsciousness. She then dragged the child into the house, turned on the main light, closed and locked the door, and began a three-way interrogation.

Little Sakura felt extremely guilty, believing she had committed heinous crimes and deserved to be tried. She sadly lowered her eyelashes and knelt on the floor, showing no trace of her captain's aura.

Green Eyed Cat was extremely ashamed. She tugged at her slightly damp underpants, feeling as if the gazes of the others were like knives, as if she were being slowly tortured, tearing away all the fig leaves. She was so socially anxious that she trembled and was about to convulse as she tried to escape.

The Golden Haired Doggy sat quietly on the edge of the bed. She glanced at Tang Liuli, then at Kiriwake Yayoi somewhat intriguing. Completely oblivious to any potential wrongdoing, she looked at Chu Yuanqing and blinked, asking:

"Xiao Qing, do you want to play together as a group of four?"

In an instant, everyone in the room except Xie Qingxuan trembled.

--Four people? What impart!

How can this person so casually utter such shameless words?!

What a terrifying natural trait! Little Sakura felt she had already experienced enough today, but she still couldn't hold back at this moment, wishing she could suffocate this Stupid Dog under the covers.

The Green Eyed Cat was terrified. She was willing to take the initiative to kiss Chu Yuanqing, but if there were two other people around while they were doing that, she'd rather kill her.

Chu Yuanqing's train of thought was almost interrupted as well. Annoyed, she pinched Xie Qingxuan's cheeks with both hands, kneading the Stage Tyrant like dough, completely stripping him of his authority. Then she lowered her hands, looked around, took a deep breath, and said:

"Now, I'm going to say something very serious."

"Due to various accidents and reasons, I have kissed Liuli, Yayoi, and Kiyohyun, and I have told each of you my attitude towards these relationships."

That is—I will not develop a romantic relationship with any of you.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

This is a confession session that affects all those with whom they have ambiguous relationships.

Chu Yuanqing had discussed similar topics with the Little Idol before, but not everyone knew all their rivals like Kiriwake Yayoi did.

Xie Qingxuan was unaware that Chu Yuanqing had kissed two other people.

Tang Liuli was unaware that Chu Yuanqing had kissed Xie Qingxuan and Kiriwake Yayoi.

This wasn't intentionally sarcastic; it was an unexpected result of various misunderstandings and timelines.

Chu Yuanqing had rejected Tang Liuli, but because of Charlotte's prank, she kissed her again. Before that, she had no reason to tell Tang Liuli about her "romantic history" and provoke her.

On the other hand, Xie Qingxuan's situation was a matter of time. When the two teamed up, she and Liuli only kissed once, and it was a kiss she was tricked into kissing. Her kiss with Little Sakura was also a work requirement for an advertisement shoot, so it couldn't be considered as deliberately hiding it.

When it came to Kiriwake Yayoi, since she was the last to start C, Chu Yuanqing answered all her questions directly when asked about it.

The reason Chu Yuanqing brought this up now was that he realized a problem through today's absurd situation: if the information of the three people is not consistent, this information gap will sooner or later breed great disaster.

Therefore, we might as well take this opportunity to hold a meeting and be frank.

At this moment, the various Little Idol present displayed a variety of expressions.

Xie Qingxuan's personality is naturally innocent. Her long-term Meditation State and lack of close social relationships make her easy to fool when she is being pursued. Especially after the dream world is restored, her hostility towards Little Sakura and the Green Eyed Cat is greatly reduced, and she hardly feels anything when she hears this fact.

After all, she was kissing Chu Yuanqing with Little Sakura not long ago, and now the addition of a harmless and pitiful Social Anxiety Cat is no big deal, it's like she didn't add anything at all.

Kiriwake Yayoi was no exception. As the first to know, she had already processed the related emotions, built up her mental resilience, and set new goals. Her first reaction was not jealousy, disappointment, or sadness, but rather... a profound fear.

Is Xiao Qing planning to take this opportunity to announce that from now on, only one person will be needed?

What if that person isn't me?

Little Sakura started to feel anxious and insecure, engaging in self-deception and preferring to maintain her current state rather than wanting Chu Yuanqing to continue.

The Green Eyed Cat had mixed feelings, and she didn't react much after hearing what he said.

There was no way around it; as a detective genius like Sherlock Holmes, she had already noticed that the Sakura Girl and Qing Bao had secretly kissed.

Although I didn't expect that even Xie Qingxuan, such an innocent and seemingly harmless idiot, would rise to the top, I just learned the truth through such a shocking on-site impromptu.

Chu Yuanqing's words merely confirmed this fact once again.

As for my thoughts on this...

Tang Liuli dared not think about it at all. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong with her. If she delved too deeply into these thoughts, and ended up aroused, even getting her underwear completely wet, a part of her personality would definitely be completely ruined!!!

Chu Yuanqing pursed her lips. She was about to deliver the ultimate scumbag speech, and a wave of shame and remorse washed over her. Guilt whipped at her conscience, and her eyes blinked rapidly. Only after taking a deep breath did she finally speak:

"For various reasons, I [need] a kiss."

"But that's only based on [needs]. I can't make any promises about this, nor can I be responsible for any of you, and I certainly won't agree to a romantic relationship."

Chu Yuanqing blushed with shame as she spoke. She wished she could go back to heaven on the spot, but these kinds of things had to be said clearly, otherwise she would only appear even more despicable. Suppressing her emotions, she decided to go all out and continued:

"So, if we can't accept that, we'd better maintain a normal teammate relationship."

The Little Idol understood.

It means that one can kiss Xiao Qing, but cannot take responsibility for Xiao Qing, and certainly cannot ask others to stop kissing Xiao Qing.

Simply put, we're all good friends and have always maintained a friendly relationship.

To be honest, if a man said this, it would be considered a sober and honest statement from a playboy. But if a beautiful woman with impeccable looks, a sacred and dignified temperament, and a slender and perfectly proportioned figure said it, it would simply be a pure act of favoritism.

They let you kiss them, but don't expect you to take responsibility. They even make it clear to you beforehand that they're not even a green tea b*tch or a pure white lotus. They don't want to string you along at all; it feels like a pie falling from the sky.

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment and asked:

"Xiao Qing, will you kiss other girls? And why do you need to kiss them?"

This is a very important question.

Little Sakura and the Green Eyed Cat both looked over at the same time.

The reason is simple: what if Qing Bao wants to continue expanding her lip-to-lip friendships and kisses all 168 Little Idol in <Flash Dance>? That would be too much of a blessing from God, and it's beyond what anyone can accept.

If the status quo is maintained, the three people involved with each other actually have a pretty good relationship. Or rather, due to some kind of strange intuition, they have very little animosity towards each other; otherwise, normal rivals would have already started fighting.

Therefore, if there are only three people, it's acceptable for each of them to try to win Qing Bao's heart through their own abilities, or to maintain the status quo and compete for favor every day.

On the other hand, the reasons for the [need] also need to be explained.

It's important to understand that, whether it's Kiriwake Yayoi, Xie Qingxuan, or even Tang Liuli, Chu Yuanqing's personality and character are exceptionally distinct, which is the core reason why they would like him.

Such a pure and holy person, whose "Flow State" is so pure and untainted by any desire, is so selfless that it is heartbreaking. Theoretically, she should have no connection with such things, let alone actively seeking a kiss.

There's a sense of incongruity here; it lacks a logic that they can accept.

Without addressing this logical reason, today's meeting cannot be considered a candid session.

Hesitation crossed Chu Yuanqing's delicate brows. After a moment of thought, she lightly touched the Lantern Gem on her chest with her fingertips. The darkness in her pupils faded, and a clear Golden Sea filled her eyes. Her soft black hair moved without wind, instantly turning as white as Tianshan Snow.

And so, this dazzling, Pure White Witch glanced intently at the three brain-dead Little Idol and said:

"Because I am Magical Girl."

Volume 1: Chapter 167. I am the true genius of Magic Replenishment, taking turns in action. (5K6)

Indoor.

For the first time, Chu Yuanqing appeared before everyone with an open and honest attitude, her hair as smooth as silk, shimmering like starlight, cascading onto the bed like flowing water. Her golden pupils, looking down, seemed to burn with a quiet flame, highlighting her sacred and solemn aura.

At this moment, that already commanding presence seemed to be unleashed, expanding with each breath to an immense sense of presence, comparable to the fiery brilliance of a stage explosion, sweeping away the Little Idol's hearts like a gentle spring breeze.

The allure of the Pure White Witch is innate; she captivates hearts without needing any Heart Tide stimulation.

If Chu Yuanqing's white hair and golden eyes were enough to shake common sense and make the absurd joke of "I am Magical Girl" seem a few minutes more real.

The gown, which instantly formed and covered her body, with its gradient gray tones outlining her beautiful curves, possessed a visually stunning quality that could overturn any conventional viewpoint.

Yes, as we all know, Magical Girl can transform. The changes in small details such as hair color and eye color go without saying, but the Magic Armor are the most crucial and irrefutable proof!

So... Qing Bao is really Magical Girl???

The Little Idol were completely bewildered.

Among them, the most bewildered Kiriwake Yayoi, who had never seen Chu Yuanqing's white hair and golden eyes.

This innocent-hearted Sakura Girl considered many reasons.

For example, Qing Bao wants to follow the idol's rules and doesn't want to date within the group, but she also doesn't want to hurt others, so she simply agrees to all of them while refusing everything.

For example, Qing Bao was too kind and didn't want them to be sad or upset, so in a difficult situation, she simply pretended to be a scumbag and deliberately said some outrageous things about being a playboy, so that they would back down on their own.

The girl's little brain had been working for so long, but she had never thought in such a ridiculous direction before. Magical Girl —isn't that a concept that only appears in anime?

Kiriwake Yayoi's brain went blank, and she stared blankly at Chu Yuanqing in his fully formed state. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered that every time she kissed him until she was almost dizzy, she would see his eyes, which were filled with mist, gradually turning into a beautiful golden color.

So... it really wasn't an illusion?

As Little Sakura thought of this, her memories surged like a tidal wave, and she instinctively sifted out some details she had previously overlooked. With her slender, pink fingertips, she touched her moist and swollen lips, and in a daze, she remembered the feeling of exchanging breaths with the other person, and suddenly realized.

Right, thinking about it carefully, there's no reason why kissing should feel so good, let alone provide a buff that restores physical and mental energy.

Although she had always thought of these as magical gifts from love, as a healthy young woman, she had at least managed to generate her own energy. Compared to kissing Qing Bao, the physical sensation of generating energy seemed rather dull.

This is actually very wrong.

If Qing Bao weren't so adorable, the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen, and if she didn't have such a strong "first love" filter, she would have noticed something was off much earlier.

Xie Qingxuan accepted it much faster than Little Sakura. She had seen Chu Yuanqing with white hair and golden eyes, dressed in a formal suit and Magic Armor. She had also seen him fall to the ground, vomiting blood, and nearly fainting, a horrifying scene that had scared her to tears.

To be honest, given that situation, any normal person who isn't oblivious would have noticed something was wrong long ago. Only Golden Haired Doggy could completely ignore it and act almost as usual afterward.

So now, after hearing this, she only had a surprised feeling of "so that's how it is." She blinked and curiously reached out to touch the irregular ash hem of the skirt, which looked like it had been burned by a raging fire, as if she were touching flowing light and stardust.

After hearing this, Tang Liuli felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In an instant, she felt completely relaxed, and her whole body was filled with the exhilaration of relying on her extraordinary wisdom to follow the clues, catch the real culprit, solve a major case, and be admired by people and praised by countless media outlets.

Yes, this shocking news that stunned the two wicked women was no secret to them for a long time.

What? Is it really that surprising that Qing Bao is Magical Girl?

No way! You all don't understand Qing Bao at all. She guessed it a month ago!
