Chapter 246
At this moment, pure white light overflowed from between his fingers, replicating the situation on Chu Yuanqing's side, engraving the shape of the other party's Soul Flower on it, and transforming it into a special carrier for storing magic power.
The girl's eyes regained their clarity, then quickly slumped, unfocused. Her moist lips moved, and she murmured in a daze:
"Hmm... so much, I feel so full. So... so Mommy Aili wasn't lying to me, kissing really can make you pregnant? Will I have a second baby?"
Although Charlotte considers the nun from Saint Wolfgang her mother, she usually avoids saying it out loud for reasons such as shyness. The fact that she's saying it now only shows that she's become so delirious that she's practically a fool.
Chu Yuanqing stroked the girl's hair, looked down at her dazed expression, and found it quite adorable. She wasn't as distressed as Charlotte. As the Pure White Witch, even though her magical power was at a disadvantage, her priority in quality was enough to allow her to enjoy more benefits.
Simply put, Charlotte used 99% of her Magic Replenishment to repair lanterns, stack buffs, fight curses, and upgrade Paper Crane Can; the remaining "little bit" of mana was used to create the magic pattern of Forget-me-not.
Charlotte, however, could only use all the benefits to optimize the lantern, water the Soul Flower, and amplify her magic power. She couldn't digest them all at once, so she had to refine them herself, turning them into the blooming patterns on her lower abdomen for long-term preservation.
Chu Yuanqing kissed the coquettish Charlotte to comfort her before lifting the fabric in confusion. She didn't know what had happened either. She reached out and touched the fair and smooth skin, tracing the texture of the Forget-me-not.
The girl didn't feel anything foreign on her fingertips; her fingertips were tinged with a beautiful blue, but she couldn't make out what it was.
Finally, she simply took a picture of the scene with her phone.
Chu Yuanqing looked at the photo. Her slender and supple abdomen was adorned with beautiful patterns of Forget-me-not, resembling some kind of strange tattoo or a subtle ornament, which looked exceptionally delicate.
Chu Yuanqing was neither Little Sakura steeped in Dongliu culture, nor a Green Eyed Cat had read many comics. As an old-fashioned person who couldn't even understand most of the crazy quotes from netizens, she didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
The Pure White Witch examined the photos seriously for a while, and finally concluded that it was just equivalent to having an additional external magic container. She then deleted the photos, carefully put her clothes back on, and meticulously straightened the wrinkles. Her demeanor was elegant and dignified, completely unaware that she had become more lewd.
Charlotte's willpower was not weak. Although the pure white pattern was more stimulating, she regained her senses after a few minutes. However, since Qing Bao's thighs were very comfortable to rest on, she wanted to cuddle with him a little longer. So she stayed on them for ten minutes before reluctantly sitting up.
Charlotte, slightly embarrassed, straightened her disheveled clothes. Looking at the now empty coffee shop, she lingered for a moment, still savoring the afterglow of the earlier encounter, before finally breaking into a cute smile and unable to resist teasingly remarking:
"It seems like Dreamweave has discovered what we've been doing."
Chu Yuanqing tried hard to suppress her shame. She casually dispelled the still-running magic, glanced at her phone—it was 5:30 PM—and whispered:
"It's not closing time yet. I guess she used some methods to get rid of the others. I feel like I've caused trouble for the boss."
Charlotte felt a little guilty, after all, it was her willfulness that caused this situation.
But after a short while, she became quite self-righteous. Who knew a kiss would cause such a commotion? Not only did it feel ridiculously good, but it also increased her newly activated magic power tenfold. Do kisses between Magical Girl always have this effect?
If so, it must be Dreamweave's fault! Why didn't she write this common sense into the Countermeasures Bureau's library? She deserves to be responsible for cleaning up the mess!
Moreover, Xiao Qing was also at fault. In the past two months, she must have kissed Yayoi, Qingxuan, and Liuli quite a bit. These three good friends are all [Witch] trainees. If kisses between Magical Girl had this effect, she would have known long ago!
Charlotte's gaze towards the Pure White Witch turned fierce as she thought about this. Reflecting on her previous behavior, she felt both ashamed and embarrassed. She crossed her arms, adopted a accusing stance, puffed out her cheeks, and rebuked her:
"Xiao Qing is a bad thing, how dare she bully me like this!"
"Not only did they not tell me beforehand, but they even... they're still here... drawing... drawing that kind of thing!"
Charlotte clutched her lower abdomen in shame and indignation after speaking. She wasn't an old-fashioned person; she surfed the internet every day. Even without deliberately seeking knowledge, she had seen such things before and knew exactly what they were.
This is practically... practically saying "You are my property!"
While I wouldn't completely disagree if you explained it nicely, it's just too rude to just print it on like that!
Charlotte felt her girlish heart had been severely hurt, and she needed Qing Bao to take the initiative to cuddle, hug, and kiss her, and then comfort her for five minutes before she could feel better!
Chu Yuanqing's delicate face was pure and innocent. She stood up, lifted the hem of her dress with both hands, revealing her slender waist, and let the Forget-me-not patterns be exposed to the air, glowing slightly on her fair skin and exuding a bewitching color.
Pure White Witch finished doing all this, she looked up at Charlotte, letting her watch the scene unfold, and asked with some curiosity:
What's wrong with this thing?
Charlotte looked at Qing Bao's alluring yet oblivious appearance, and her shame and anger instantly vanished. She couldn't help but cover her nose, feeling that this scene was too sinful.
Damn it, how can Xiao Qing not even know this? She's usually so easily embarrassed, yet she's so lacking in "common sense," she's just too clueless!
The Doomsday Diva was almost too afraid to continue watching. The Pure White Witch's expression—lifting her hem to reveal her demonic markings and gazing intently at her—was so erotic it was almost unbearable.
In particular, during the lantern repair process, the disguise spell was broken, and now he is in his true form, with white hair and golden eyes. This appearance, combined with the action, is very lethal, making it a CG worth collecting.
Seeing that the other person remained silent, Chu Yuanqing couldn't help but reflect on himself and then immediately realized the reason why the other person was angry.
By the way, Charlotte is an idol. She's probably angry because she's worried that wearing a crop top during a stage performance might make the audience misunderstand and think she has tattoos, causing a bad impression.
Thinking of this, the girl immediately explained seriously:
"Charlotte, it's okay. As long as it digests tonight, you'll be able to control whether it manifests or not. Plus, you'll have an external magic container, which is quite convenient."
Chu Yuanqing put down the clothes and continued:
"As for not telling you in advance, are you referring to Magic Replenishment?"
Charlotte watched Qing Bao's actions with some regret, and only after hearing the key words did she ask curiously:
"Magic Replenishment? What's that?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuanqing realized something was amiss. After a moment's hesitation, she explained:
"Magic Replenishment involves exchanging bodily fluids to replenish the mana of both parties, incidentally triggering some wonderful reactions that are beneficial to both. Isn't this a skill that all Magical Girl possess?"
Charlotte felt like she was hearing something from another dimension, and was utterly shocked. Magic Replenishment? This kind of concept is definitely not for Magical Girl; the Magical Girl you're referring to must be from hentai!
The girl took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but complain:
"This isn't Magical Girl, it's a succubus! There's no such absurd thing!"
Just kidding, if Magical Girl all had the passive skill of Magic Replenishment, she wouldn't believe how terrifyingly expensive <Flash Dance> would be in terms of neodymium copper.
Not to mention TV shows, even the Magic Countermeasures Bureau spontaneously matches its [Witch] with partners, issuing a whole bunch of rules and benefits that are beneficial to office romances.
It's ridiculous, but the world is on the brink of destruction, so increasing the odds of winning in this way isn't so bad, right? After all, even lifeguards need to give CPR in emergencies. On an extreme level, it would be reasonable to make an idol group formed by [Witch] kiss seven times a week.
Furthermore, even if it only has the effect of restoring magic power, it can still play a significant role when teaming up to subdue [Calamity Species] and suppress forbidden areas. Even if the Countermeasures Bureau doesn't issue any laws or benefits, the [Witch] will still have to take "emergency measures" when encountering danger.
So the conclusion is simple: the one with this kind of lewd skill isn't Magical Girl, but Qing Bao herself!
Chu Yuanqing was struck dumb. She hadn't discussed this with the Dream Weaver Rabbit or the other [Witch]. Thinking about it carefully, it was possible that this skill was exclusive to her.
But...
Doesn't that mean she's the only one in the Magical Girl who's this weird?!
The Pure White Witch's serious face flushed with embarrassment. She tried to maintain her composure and asked blankly:
"So that means something's wrong with me?"
Charlotte nodded in agreement. She also felt that Qing Bao had become even more slutty. It was terrifying that she could make people faint with just a kiss. She didn't even want to think about how long her other friends could resist. She was practically a living succubus!
Furthermore, since it involves the exchange of bodily fluids, there are obviously more efficient ways, such as drinking each other's blood or champagne...
The Doomsday Diva shook off the strange thought and replied:
"Yes, something's wrong with you."
"But putting aside its rough outer shell, isn't it incredibly useful?"
"I am now certain that your pendant was definitely a gift from the Planet Consciousness."
"My magic power just advanced and transformed yesterday when I used [Flower Bloom], and today it's increased tenfold! I even managed to weave three of my innate spells in one go! It's simply the best way to quickly restore my strength."
Charlotte became more and more excited as she spoke. She had initially been somewhat unsure whether she could reach full potential before the "Flash Dance" project's timeline was significantly shortened, but now, seeing the Magic Replenishment effect with Qing Bao, she felt that living together for a month and having lots of fun every day would easily allow her to reach full potential!
Chu Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then said seriously:
"It's actually quite useful. The idealistic power generated when Magic Replenishment can even have a slight effect on the erosion of the Sea of Truth. During the time we were kissing just now, it probably extended my life by about 30 minutes?"
Well, it wasn't even half the length of a kiss, so there's no possibility of them kissing forever and living forever, but it was definitely a historic breakthrough.
To be honest, considering the status of the Sea of Truth, the fact that Magic Replenishment can have this effect only shows that the Magical Girl's potential is incredibly high, and it even feels like a power system that couldn't have been born on this planet.
Charlotte, upon hearing this, seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Her azure eyes immediately brightened, and she eagerly asked:
"Does that mean there's a possibility of using Magic Replenishment to dispel the curse?"
Chu Yuanqing shook his head and explained:
"That's unrealistic. Even if the amount of Magic Replenishment reaches that level, completely removing the curse would attract the attention of the Sea of Truth again, making the outcome even worse."
Chu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear to disappoint the expectation in the other person's eyes, and said softly:
"But... there should be hope to buy more time."
Just like a lantern that can shatter at any moment, the time it takes to Magic Replenishment is like Schrödinger's cat; once the intensity of the curse changes, all the measurement methods will have to be overturned and restarted.
Chu Yuanqing's estimate of four months was a pessimistic view derived from her intuition; in reality, things could be better or worse.
This is why they didn't tell Charlotte the specific date of her death. Telling her too much would create unnecessary expectations, while telling her too early would only make her more upset when the time came.
Even the mere mention of this number would make Charlotte burst into tears under the covers.
Charlotte didn't hear the promise she wanted, but she still smiled broadly with satisfaction. She seemed to have thought of something, her pretty face flushing with rouge. After hesitating for a moment, she leaned closer and whispered shyly in the other's ear:
"Shall we go there, buy some things, and then go back to the hotel?"
Although Xiaoqing wanted to have a proper, formal relationship, go through the typical steps of a couple, enjoy the ambiguity and awkwardness before gradually progressing to that stage, Xiao Qing time was running out, so how could she continue to waste it?
Besides... and they already have a daughter, so they were going to have to do it sooner or later anyway, so they might as well try all the methods today and see how effective Magic Replenishment really is!
As for dating, no one says you can't date after having sex.
Charlotte didn't directly voice her bold idea, but the hint was direct enough that even the usually oblivious Chu Yuanqing understood what would happen at the hotel.
Chu Yuanqing hesitated greatly; it wasn't that she was against doing that kind of thing with Charlotte.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the feelings I've been suppressing time and time again while Magic Replenishment with other Little Idol have ignited like wildfire after being slightly provoked by the other person, giving rise to a shameful anticipation for the first time in my heart.
But the problem is...
"Um, Xiao Shu and the others are waiting for me, how about we talk about it tomorrow?"
Chu Yuanqing spoke, his phone began to vibrate again.
Well, it's been four or five hours since she and Charlotte left the square. She only replied to a few messages from her daughter and Little Idol before coming to the coffee shop, and then she didn't have time to reply at all, which has resulted in her unread messages now reaching 99+ again.
Charlotte felt a little guilty upon hearing this.
Oh right, she seemed to have said she would return Qing Bao to them that night, and even stuffed the sun hat into her daughter's arms. Taking Qing Bao to a hotel tonight, isn't that a bit inappropriate?
Regardless of whether this behavior is related to NTR or a crazy sneaky escape, simply mentioning Chu Wangshu is like a pair of heartless parents abandoning their child to enjoy their own private time.
Most importantly, the mere mention of Chu Wangshu made her want to immediately meet this Little Cotton-padded Jacket who was the same age as her.
Charlotte was fine when she didn't know about their relationship, but now that she does, just recalling how she felt when she first met Chu Wangshu makes her feel an intense urge to dote on him.
In short, she really wants to hold her Little Cotton-padded Jacket in her arms and lift her up high right now, and hear her call her "Mommy"!
Unfortunately, even if she went to see Chu Wangshu today, she wouldn't be able to reveal her identity.
After all, something this outrageous is so bad that even if Xiao Qing were to come out under her own name and endorse the story, the other party would only think that her father was a scumbag who preyed on a minor and then tried to find excuses.
Charlotte felt a pang of disappointment at this thought, but seeing her daughter was never a problem. With that thought, she smiled and said confidently:
"I want to go back with you."
Chu Yuanqing sighed, feeling somewhat exhausted. She knew it would turn out this way; her team consisted of either Charlotte's good friend from the previous Worldline or their biological daughter, and the other party would definitely be eager to get involved.
The problem is, I have a feeling that introducing Charlotte to everyone would lead to a super chaotic and terrifying situation.
Chu Yuanqing earnestly instructed:
"You can, but don't hug Xiao Shu as soon as you see her!"
"There are others in the same boat. They only remember a little bit of their past memories now, and they still treat those fragments as dreams. If you go up to them and start sticking to them like before, they'll definitely be seen as weirdos."
Charlotte let out a disappointed "Eh," but immediately replied confidently:
"It's okay, anyway, I got a perfect score of 100 for my commercial performance. I'll be pretty free for a while, so I can just stick with you guys. I'll be able to become good friends with everyone again very soon!"
This is a lie.
The tasks that Dreamweave assigned to Miss Saintess were piling up like mountains.
But it doesn't matter. After this Magic Replenishment following her [Flower Bloom], the lantern is almost ready to give birth to a fairy. At that time, she can learn from Xiaoyu and give all the tasks to Violet, and let Dreamweave directly issue tasks to Forget-me-not.
Chu Yuanqing was unaware of Charlotte's wicked intentions. She opened WeChat, replied to a bunch of her Little Idol, and told Charlotte that she would be coming back with her and that they would all be having dinner together.
Thus, this bombshell news, which seemed like a challenge from the official wife, immediately caused a huge uproar among the Little Idol.
P. S.: I've calculated that if I reduce the amount of daily interactions and focus solely on the main storyline, I'll probably finish writing it around March next year?
