Chapter 307

"Waaaaah, I was so worried before that it might be some weird photobook, but I'm so relieved when the cover came out. Qing Bao is so beautiful!!!"

"You're amazing, Qing Bao! You've made my wallet spin!"

"Urgent! When will the photobook pre-orders be released? I already have a feeling we're about to face a terrifying battle."

"So this is Qing Bao's [Witch] outfit? The gradient gray dress, plus the white hair and golden eyes that appeared during the second Public Performance, what kind of ultimate evolution is this? I've fallen madly in love with her???"

"So, in comparison to <The Ophelia's Death>, does this cover have to be called <The Death of Chu Yuanqing>? How ominous!!!"

"Looking at this cover for too long makes me feel inexplicably melancholic. Qing Bao inside is like an electronic butterfly that will disappear forever once it's turned off???"

The audience began to discuss the meaning of the photo cover with great enthusiasm. Soon, someone Leeuwenhoek noticed the characteristic of the skirt hem looking as if it had been burned, connected it with the girl's headdress adorned with pure white flower petals, and realized that it conveyed a sense of decay.

As we all know, fashion magazines, regardless of style or bias, invariably teach you how to dress in different ways and convey their own fashion philosophy.

Therefore, there may be a theme inside, but there will definitely not be a clear plot. The word "[Witch]" on the cover is undoubtedly closely related to the theme, and the subsequent fashion style should also follow this development.

"So, does this mean that future fashion styles will develop along abstract frameworks like fantasy, desolation, loneliness, and minimalist color palettes?"

"That definitely depends on the magazine's definition of '[Witch].' Considering Qing Bao's hair and eye colors, incorporating some supernatural and surreal elements is quite reasonable."

"But how to incorporate them into an outfit is the problem, right? By the way, if it's a fashion magazine, is the outfit Qing Bao is wearing on the cover something you can buy later???"

"It's hard to say. Have you ever seen those conceptual outfits from high-fashion runways sold to the public? If <FlashDance> were to sell photo albums under its own name, it probably wouldn't do that."

As time passed, two hours after the Weibo post was published, the number of comments had reached over 400,000, and the number of likes and reposts had both exceeded three million.

With the official website driving traffic, Chu Yuanqing's Weibo account gained followers at a rocket-like speed, adding another two million in two hours. It is estimated that it will reach the threshold of fifty million when it reaches its limit.

Salzburg.

The Mortal Realm Barrier, gathered together by the spell, transformed into scattered magical power.

Xie Qingyu snapped back to reality. She was unharmed, and a light and energetic feeling permeated her entire body. Even her soul felt comfortable in the magic that bathed her like moonlight. Her condition was better than ever before.

Violet, having also received the blessing of the Pure White Witch, was now drunkenly perched on Xiaoyu's head, looking like a rather useless Little Butterfly.

Xie Qingyu recalled that this was the first time in this week that she had stepped out of the Mortal Realm Barrier constructed by Charlotte in this way. She looked at the teacher opposite her, finally came to her senses, and showed a grateful smile, sincerely thanking her:

"Thank you, Teacher Chu."

"What you've taught me these past few days will be one of the most precious treasures of my life. I will cherish them and strive to become a better person."

That morning, Teacher Chu did not subject her to the usual terrifying ordeal, which was filled with hardship, almost suffocating, and felt like she might truly die at any moment. Instead, it transformed into a gentle breeze and drizzle.

The Pure White Witch will still fight her, but it has turned into a real teaching session and a guidance battle. In a tense but appropriate manner, she will carefully explain her mistakes and teach her skills that she has never taught before.

Looking back, the past few hours felt like a dream. Time seemed to fly by so fast that before I knew it, I was already out of the barrier, and I was still filled with a lingering sense of reluctance to leave.

Even so, a proper farewell is still necessary.

Teacher Chu had never been obligated to comfort me, nor was he obligated to teach me so many invaluable skills.

Xie Qingyu was unwilling to betray this tenderness and trust. She was still afraid of the past and still regretted the deaths of Su Wan and Xu Yan. However, she wanted to muster up the courage to break out of the negative cycle and move towards a more distant future.

In that future, there will surely be many moments of happiness that you have protected.

Xie Qingyu wanted Chu Yuanqing to know this awareness. She looked up at him, her expression serious yet apprehensive, and filled with heartfelt gratitude.

Chu Yuanqing could feel the weight of this emotion.

This Captain-Class [Witch] gave back a powerful and pure wish, much like the audience below a stage during Public Performance, yet even more enduring and lasting than that dazzling light, accelerating the transformation of the magic within her body.

The Pure White Witch smiled and whispered:

"Yes, I can feel Xiaoyu's feelings."

"You're already making plans for the future, and that's enough."

"I believe that if it were Xiaoyu now, she would definitely be able to make a choice that she can be true to herself."

Xie Qingyu felt a little shy from the praise. She wanted to bury her head, but couldn't bear to miss looking at her mentor, so she could only blush and try to look at him, nodding as she said:

"I will remember Teacher Chu's kindness to me, and I will fulfill my responsibilities as the team leader in the future."

Finally, thank you for not hating me for who I am.

Chu Yuanqing knew Xiaoyu was leaving soon. She glanced at the time and asked seriously:

"Aren't you going to see Xiao Xuan? You haven't had much of a chance to talk to her these past few days because of training, have you?"

Xie Qingyu smiled without regret and answered sincerely:

"I want to wait until I become a more mature and better older sister before I can sincerely apologize to Xiao Xuan."

So, this is fine as it is.

Chu Yuanqing nodded without saying a word, respecting her choice.

Charlotte, on the other hand, thought that Xiaoyu was probably afraid of being tongue-tied and making Xuan Bao angry again.

Xie Qingyu woke up the dazed Violet, and she and the Little Butterfly smiled and said goodbye:

"Goodbye, Teacher Chu, Charlotte."

After speaking, she plucked the air with her fingertips, and invisible guitar strings played notes. Her figure was then swallowed up by violet petals, disappearing from the spot and reappearing ten thousand meters in the sky, soaring into the distance.

Chu Yuanqing watched as the other's magical aura slowly disappeared. She had seen too many comrades go and never return, so much so that she always felt a sense of loss after each parting.

But this time, the students' backs made her feel hope and the future for the first time in a long time, and her heart was filled with anticipation and joy.

Suddenly, the magic of moonlight surged and churned throughout his body, a wondrous power was born in his Sea of Consciousness, then sank down to his body, leaving an imprint on his soul and transmitting vague information.

This is,

--[Quicksilver Blood].

Volume 1: 290. Charlotte: I want to get Qing Bao pregnant. (5K)

Chu Yuanqing seemed lost in thought. She breathed in the boiling magic power, feeling the wondrous changes occurring in her body, and whispered:

"[Quicksilver Blood]?"

The Pure White Witch's hands were slender and well-proportioned, with excellent bone structure, snow-white skin, and nails that shone with a healthy pink hue. She lifted her nails and caressed the delicate texture between her palms.

With just a little force, it cuts through the dermis and into the flesh, creating a wound. But what oozes out is not blood, but a dark, translucent silvery-white substance.

Chu Yuanqing continued to exert force with his fingertips, piercing through bone and flesh, reaching the back of his hand and creating a deep hole.

Strangely, the resistance encountered along the way felt like parting water while swimming—cool and soft to the touch, with a somewhat ethereal quality.

After the finger is pulled out, a mercury-like substance, as if Flowing Water Entwined, quickly closes the opening and transforms back into flesh and blood, leaving the hand intact.

Charlotte witnessed this scene. She grabbed Qing Bao's small hand and squeezed it. It was still warm and soft, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, and had a slight fragrance of shower gel. She could not feel the strange feeling of mercury at all.

The Saintess touched it for a while before asking with great interest:

"Xiao Qing, it seems you've awakened a property similar to [illusionary] magic?"

Chu Yuanqing's Destined Magic is [Pure White Aria]. The [Silver Mirror], which seems to be enough to support a system, is only a small branch extended from it. Its true nature belongs to the type with unlimited growth potential.

Charlotte's Destined Magic, in a sense, even more exaggerated.

The so-called "deception" can distort what she desires most in her heart into objective reality; it is an extraordinary magic that can subvert common sense.

The ability to create such a powerful, almost bug-like, Destined Magic can be attributed to the Doomsday Diva's rejection of the apocalypse, sacrifice, tragedy, and loss in the first playthrough.

Even if some of these accumulated emotions remain, they make her deepest desires exceptionally grand.

That is, world peace and happiness for all living beings.

Therefore, [embellishment] is actually a tool that this person uses to patch up the world, add color, increase beauty, and combat tragedy.

It's just that the intensity of the desires and emotions made the tools a little too useful.

In short, the most basic application of the [Illusion] magic is to modify the reality of being attacked. Putting aside the disadvantages of its usage conditions and magic consumption, it can be considered a substitute for [Full Bloom], and in some aspects it can even be better.

Chu Yuanqing nodded and said:

"They do look somewhat alike."

"[Quicksilver Blood], it should be a conceptual trait, belonging to a type that has not been recorded in the Countermeasures Bureau, making it extremely rare."

Charlotte asked curiously:

Do you feel anything when you poke yourself? Does it hurt?

Chu Yuanqing's body alternated between feeling warm and cold, drowsiness steadily intensifying as the magic surged. She lowered her eyes, lost in thought for a moment, before remembering to explain, and said:

"I can feel it, but it doesn't hurt. It's probably similar to localized magic?"

"[Quicksilver Blood] can automatically avoid damage, somewhat like [Full Bloom], except that it is integrated into the soul and reflected in the body. As long as the mana is not exhausted, there are no limitations, making it more mana-efficient and longer-lasting."

Charlotte thought for a moment, then asked in return:

"If it's a conceptual characteristic, then curses or mental harm should also be avoidable, which is indeed very convenient. But what else?"

Chu Yuanqing read the information from the imprint within her soul. A look of weariness appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. After a moment of blank staring, she forced herself to perk up and replied:

"[Quicksilver Blood] can absorb any form of energy to a certain extent, converting it into magic power for a self-circulating process, and it also has an evolving resistance mechanism."

Charlotte nodded in approval:

"Yes, it fits [the Silver Mirror] perfectly in every sense."

"If we put it in a game, it would probably be comparable to a core passive skill in a class system, right? For other Magical Girl, it could bring a qualitative improvement."

Chu Yuanqing's eyes were half-closed. The transformation by [Quicksilver Blood] made her bones feel numb, the temperature of her blood fluctuated, and the Soul Flower was greedily absorbing magic power. She was already finding it difficult to suppress her drowsiness.

The girl leaned against the person next to her, dazed, and murmured:

Charlotte, I'm so sleepy.

The Doomsday Diva held the listless Qing Bao in her arms, gently stroking the Lantern Gem on its chest with her fingertips, then wrapped her arms around its waist and gave it a soft, cloud-like kiss.

Chu Yuanqing would feel sleepy.

Firstly, the use of the complete realm technique while educating Xiaoyu earlier consumed too much of my energy, and even caused the lantern to shatter to 6%.

Secondly, the transformation of [Quicksilver Blood] is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it is a gradual process during which the blood constantly absorbs magical power in exchange for growth and transformation.

Even the buzz generated by the photo album cover and the snowballing growth in followers create a continuous stream of positive energy.

However, to efficiently convert it into magic, it also requires a portion of one's mental energy to enhance the effects of the Lantern Gem. The resulting side effect is drowsiness and the urge to sleep.

However, Magic Replenishment can solve this problem very well.

The repair of the Lantern Gem and the provision of a large amount of magic power can accelerate the process of accepting [Quicksilver Blood], effectively restoring Qing Bao's spirit.

Well, from this perspective, it was precisely the enthusiasm of Chu Yuanqing's fans that led to the creation of this characteristic, thus forcing their Little Idol to engage in sexual activity with a certain Saintess. Isn't that a form of NTR?

After a long while, their lips parted.

The lantern-carrying progress has been restored to 9% of the target.

The Forget-me-not Magic Mark and the Paper Crane Amulet, whose magical reserves had been completely drained, have been replenished thanks to the Saintess's selfless dedication.

After Chu Yuanqing recovered from some of the debuffs, she regained her senses despite being very sleepy. Her delicate and refined face quickly changed from a charmingly naive expression to a serious one, like a strict and rigid disciplinary committee member, showing no trace of the alluring spring-like charm she had just displayed.

The Pure White Witch broke free from Charlotte's embrace. She meticulously straightened her clothes, smoothed the wrinkles in her skirt, and tried to suppress her shame. She glanced guiltily at the empty Living room and said:

"Thank you, Charlotte, I feel much better now."

"Xiao Shu and Liuli are still training. Do you want to come to the dance studio with me?"

Charlotte pouted her pink lips, showing no intention of exposing Qing Bao's pretense of seriousness and his attempt to hide his shyness. She was drawn to the contrast between her appearance and her personality, and naturally had no objection to the Pure White Witch's current indifference.

"Won't you rest a little longer? The [Quicksilver Blood] modification will probably continue for another half day, and you'll still feel sleepy during that time."

Chu Yuanqing said seriously:

"Your birthday is coming up soon, and I don't want any accidents to cause any mishaps on stage."

Charlotte blinked, smiled brightly, and teased:

"Has Xiao Qing also begun to understand the allure of idols and the stage?"

Chu Yuanqing was silent for a moment. She thought of the expressions on the children's faces when they went on stage, recalled the enthusiastic and expectant looks of the fans on the way to the Public Performance, and held the lantern, feeling the wishes of millions of people.

How heartwarming! It's strange, she hasn't done anything wrong, so how did she deserve so much love and affection?

Even now, Chu Yuanqing still can't understand why everyone likes her, but it doesn't matter. She curled her lips into a sincere smile and said softly:

Perhaps.
