Xiaocui's World

Red: "!@#JPY%...&"

The captain simply watched silently, without saying a word, amidst the commotion... especially the noise from Hong Yiren.

Just one more reminder.

Although the captain gives the impression of being a very mature person, in reality, she is only mature in that sense.

In terms of age, figure, and appearance, she is a standard magical girl; if you ignore the "magic," she is simply a girl.

She was probably around sixteen or seventeen years old, but with her deliberately mature attire, she could easily make that number appear a year or two older.

Yes, she was only one or two years old.

If we disregard her status as a magical girl, then it wouldn't be wrong to consider her as "a child pretending to be very mature."

Therefore, even the captain was somewhat envious at this moment.

Crimson, oh Crimson, it seems you've obtained two rather remarkable "treasures" hanging on your chest, making you the envy of many...

With these thoughts in mind, the captain glanced at the time and realized that he had no choice but to say something.

"It's about time, Crimson."

With that, the captain gestured for Red to set off, saying, "It's time to go. Don't keep the cabinet gentlemen waiting."

Before Hong could even speak, the very honest "Masterpiece" clearly failed to grasp the subtext in the captain's words. "I think they should be willing to wait much longer, preferably a lifetime."

However, no one responded to her.

In response to the captain's words, Hong scratched her head and took a deep breath. "Okay, but... for now, it's better to just call me Hong."

Because she's no longer a magical girl.

"Saying goodbye to the past? That's not a bad idea."

As he said this, the captain led Red away from the Purge Squad headquarters, where most of the area was still undergoing repairs. "Or have they gotten used to being called by their full names?"

"..." Hong pondered for a moment, unsure of her own thoughts. "I don't know, maybe both..."

As she spoke, yawning, Red sat down in the back seat of the car with the captain. "Sigh, I've been a reformed citizen for so long, and when I occasionally come back to help, it's still about killing people... The Purge Squad haven't changed a bit."

Can you call it reforming if you hang out with Monster Group?

The captain expressed his doubts, saying, "There have been changes, but they shouldn't be particularly noticeable in the short term."

"Abruptly changing direction would make it difficult to grasp the pain points of the magical girl industry. If there were a new blue ocean in the industry, a clear new direction, or a new concept, I would certainly be willing to endure the growing pains of change without hesitation... but the problem is that there isn't."

The captain explained it this way.

Red's response to this was...

Red; "..." Under the Hong Xiawu Hong, silence fell!

It wasn't that the captain's words were wrong, but rather that Hong's comprehension was flawed, because she had only received the most basic education.

"..." In silence, the Captain-Commander also realized that not every magical girl and monster was as knowledgeable as Cong Yu.

She actually knew this a long time ago...

After all, the magical girls under the Captain-Commander are generally... well, a bit more "Cheese Snow Leopard" in terms of education.

Her educational background is lower than that of many other magical girls from various agencies.

After all, the Purge Squad are a professional magical girl organization, and they even handle the "training" themselves...

Perhaps that's what makes it valuable.

However, their Japan is quite good.

It's so fluent; to achieve that already puts it far beyond what a real Cheese Snow Leopard can do.

"Speaking of which, how much will you earn this time?"

Hong abruptly changed the subject, throwing "blue ocean" and "new track" out of her mind. "How much did they manage to get from the cabinet ministers?"

Actually, to be precise, it should be "[How much have been scooped up?]"

Now that they have the money, what they need to do is eliminate those who are unwilling to pay, as well as those who are not good people.

"We still have tens of millions, but we'll have to split it with Cong Yu."

Hong already knew what the captain had said; the Purge Squad had now submitted to Cong Yu. But she was curious about the specifics. "How are they divided?"

"First, return all the money to the good cabinet officials. We'll split the rest of the money with Cong Yu on a 30/70 basis."

"Have you changed your personality? You only took 70%?"

"Seventy percent of it belongs to Cong Yu, and the remaining thirty percent depends on how others treat us... After all, using the Monster King's intimidation power costs money, so it's not shameful."

Chapter 532 Xiao Cui's World

The bed is huge.

Brother Cong Yu smells so good...

Sister Blue Sky is rock hard.

"..." Wait, why is it so hard? Why is Sister Blue Sky as hard as a rock?

Xiao Cui opened her eyes, somewhat dazed. She had been sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt something was wrong... Surely Lantian Zhu wouldn't be this hard?

Then, Xiao Cui saw...

A blue sky...

It wasn't a "familiar ceiling," nor was it an "unfamiliar ceiling." When she opened her eyes, she saw a stunningly beautiful sky.

Absolutely gorgeous!

The Blue Sky is a clear, pure blue, and the white clouds are like flawless white jade... It's a scene that can only be imagined in a fairy tale.

At this moment, Xiao Cui was lying on the grass, surrounded by long, lush green grass...

Behind them was a huge rock, about twice the height of Xiao Cui.

It really was a stone.

Xiao Cui felt that even Sister Blue Sky couldn't possibly be that hard... Lantian Zhu was still a little bit hard.

I'm sorry to say this...

But if Xiao Cui continues to grow up, she will soon surpass and humiliate Lantian Zhu. Xiao Cui is the invincible martial goddess!

Meanwhile, Xiao Cui, blinking and wondering why she had suddenly found herself on the grass, looked around in bewilderment at her surroundings.

The surrounding area was grassland, and there were trees and bushes not far away. Apart from that, there was no trace of people, and not even the slightest sound could be heard.

You can hear the sounds of small animals, though.

I heard the chirping of insects and the chirping of birds.

Xiao Cui frowned.

This... this isn't right, is it?

Xiao Cui remembered that she was sleeping in bed last night, hugging Cong Yu's waist tightly as she slept.

Why is everything gone when I open my eyes?

The bed is gone, the home is gone, and everyone else is gone too.

When I woke up, everything around me had changed... It was indeed very beautiful, absolutely stunning, like something out of a fairy tale.

But an accident is still an accident.

Have I been kidnapped?

Who dares to tie me up? Who can tie me up? Who can tie me up?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Xiao Cui didn't believe that anyone had that ability... In other words, she was most likely dreaming.

Thinking this through, Xiao Cui used her strong spirit of inquiry to confirm it.

She simply reached out and pinched her own face.

Pull--

"Pain!"

Xiao Cui rubbed her face angrily... It seems this was all real, this wasn't a dream, rua--

"Teleportation spell... there's no trace of magic, that's not right."

While muttering to herself and analyzing the possibilities of the teleportation spell, Xiao Cui noticed something was amiss.

So rich...

The "magic" of this place has almost completely dissipated into the air, and it can even be said that it is about to materialize.

The white, ethereal mist in the distant forest is not entirely composed of water vapor... it is not fog in the narrow sense.

It is not water vapor condensate composed of small water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface.

It's magic...

It's the magic of liquefaction.

"..." Could this be the legendary time travel?

As she thought this, countless related stories, including novels and animations, flashed through Xiao Cui's mind.

The concept of "time travel" already exists in this era.

There are quite a few light novels featuring magical girls traveling to another world... although they're mostly rubbish, not nearly as good as the illustrations.

Having made this judgment, and to ensure her own safety, Xiao Cui gently waved her hand. "Transform!"

As soon as she finished speaking, emerald green magic began to condense in the air at an alarming speed, almost transforming into a magical storm centered on Xiao Cui.

The magic of air is too great, its quality is too high.

In this place, the magical girl's fighting power might increase several times over... The power of the spells might not necessarily double, after all, the situation with the spells is complex, and it's not convenient to guarantee that they will definitely become stronger.

However, the magical girl's inherent "strength" after transformation does indeed increase significantly.

.

The battles of magical girls are battles between magic powers.

The quality and quantity of magic power determine the upper and lower limits of a magical girl's abilities... while the spells determine the level at which a magical girl can perform.

The intertwined and entangled magic formed on Xiao Cui a dress that was quite similar to her original transformed form.

They look the same, but any magical girl could sense the magical pressure emanating from Xiao Cui's current posture.

It's terrifying, it's incredibly powerful.

Xiao Cui, however, was not at ease. In fact, she became even more uneasy about the unusual things around her... She was rather indifferent to things that were uncertain and dangerous.

The abundance of magic power enhanced not only magical girls.

Even if the surrounding area is excessively filled with positive magic, there is still a possibility of magical beasts.

Maybe this place is some kind of "mini-world of Warcraft" or something.

If a monster like the previous Demon Bear appeared—incredibly tanky and dealing high damage— Xiao Cui would be in real trouble.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the situation as soon as possible.

Little Sprite! Come out!

"..." Little Sprite! Come out!!

There was no response.

Yes, the procedure did not produce any response.

Xiao Cui was panicking, she was really panicking now... This was the first time in her history that her spellcasting had failed, and things were really going to get bad.

Now, if she encounters any serious or unexpected situation, she won't have the confidence that "I can protect myself"...

The only saving grace was that Teacher Hong had taught Xiao Cui many convenient and universal spells, so she wasn't completely without combat power.
