The Xixia Family Stands at a Fork in Fate / Xiaocui Keeps Her Hands Clean

Like other Extinction Formula, Fairyland is destined to have a certain kind of compatibility with its host, which it desires.

The Li Township, with "Emperor" as its key; the Source Darkness Apophis, with "Loneliness" as its key; the Flood, with "Judgment" as its key...

That's how it is.

The suitable host that Fairyland seeks will obviously want this "XX", this certain quality that belongs to Xiao Cui.

What exactly was it? Cong Yu felt she might have a clue.

The process of going from "silent" to "making some noise" indicates that something that fits the Extinction Formula: Fairyland has diminished.

Something in the art style that was consistent with Fairyland changed in Xiao Cui, which is why the Extinction Formula made a sound.

Just like Source Darkness, seeing that Cong Yu Snow Woman no longer alone after meeting Yuki-onna and the others, he barked angrily, only to have his mouth covered by Cong Yu, who was becoming increasingly less lonely.

The situation in Fairyland is the same.

Of.

Fairy tale.

Lying on the bed, Cong Yu looked at Xiao Cui, who was nestled in his arms and asleep, and suddenly thought of this word.

Yes, it's a "fairy tale".

Xiao Cui was almost kidnapped first, and then she heard that her friend's father's family was destroyed because of human selfishness.

They then encountered United States magical girls who, driven by self-interest, launched a siege and attack on them, their fellow magical girls.

I also heard about Cong Yu being shot in the head by a sniper.

Just a few days ago, I witnessed Nagashima Koki trying to cultivate a murderous mentality with Cong Yu in order to protect herself, and the shocking scene of blood flying everywhere.

Therefore, the "fairy tale" was shattered.

Although Xiao Cui did not have the profound sense of the unnecessary existence of the world as some "original historical trajectory" might have.

But at this moment, she also truly began to realize...

The whole world is nothing more than a makeshift stage where people fight each other.

The "fairytale" in my heart is gradually drifting away...

Fortunately, as long as Cong Yu and the other people Xiao Cui cares about don't get into serious trouble, this thing won't fall apart.

As for how the world will change in the future, that has nothing to do with Cong Yu.

Having confirmed this, Cong Yu glanced pityingly at Xiao Cui, who was frowning from time to time in her dream, and pulled her arm out of Yaochuan Guang's embrace.

He then gently patted Xiao Cui to comfort her.

May Xiao Cui find peace and quiet in her dreams, undisturbed by the sound of dripping water... Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Chapter 562 the Xixia family Stands at the Crossroads of Fate

School starts!

"..." Nagashima Riko watched Nozomi Nagashima happily carrying her little schoolbag, who had become a Nagashima Koki school student who "was still an elementary school student yesterday."

To be honest, Nagashima Riko was a little worried.

It wasn't that I was worried about my daughter who would be going to school with Xiao Cui... Xiao Cui is still very reliable and trustworthy.

Mrs. Nagashima was worried about whether her daughter's classmates were alright.

Mrs. Nagashima knew her daughter very well.

I've always suspected that she might get poached by a gang one day to be a low-level executive or something... She's not at the level of a gangster or a delinquent.

They were actually yakuza officials.

Because... my own daughter deserves it (sadly).

With this thought in mind, Nagashima Riko felt a pang of regret. As the mother of a naive and kind-hearted junior high school girl (just kidding!), she hadn't even sent her own child to school on the first day of school...

Although it was an urgent family matter, I still felt that I wasn't doing a good enough job as a mother.

Fortunately, it seems that Xiao Cui and Nagashima Koki have a reliable blue magical girl with them.

Although she looks like a young girl, I've heard she has a wealth of life experience and should be able to take good care of Xiao Xi.

With that thought in mind, Nagashima Riko felt relieved.

However, she clearly didn't realize that the person who needed care might not be Nagashima Koki... It can only be said that Xiao Xi is still too independent.

"Sister Blue Sky... you go play by yourself first, don't get lost. We'll take you home at noon. We need to go into the classroom now."

Lantian Zhu pursed her lips speechlessly at Xiao Cui's instructions, wondering why Xiao Cui really treated her like a useless person. "Okay."

She's just a little lazy, a little sluggish, doesn't know to heat up food when she's hungry, and doesn't know to change her clothes in summer or winter... that's all.

Upon entering the classroom of Class 1-B, Xiao Cui and Nagashima Koki immediately noticed a girl standing in the classroom.

The girl appears to be receiving worship from the other children.

Well, to be precise, this girl is distributing cakes... boxes of cakes are stacked on the podium, it looks like every student gets one.

Maybe it's a birthday or something?

Then, the girl, who looked very elegant and had a slightly arrogant air about her, looked in the direction of the two of them.

At the same time, some classmates who were eating cake spoke up before the girl could even speak, saying, "You two, come and get the cake."

"Come on, have some cake! Xijia bought it for us!"

Xiao Xi and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything. They simply took the cake and then chose empty seats to sit down.

Many students had already arrived by now, Nagashima Koki and Xiao Cui were among the later arrivals.

However, not many people sat obediently in their seats like the two of them.

A crowd gathered around, with some of the more lively boys and girls surrounding Xijia.

"Hmm, the cake is not bad."

As Xiao Xi said this, she looked at the girl who was surrounded by people and spoke eloquently, and who didn't seem like an ordinary middle school student. "Xijia... seems very capable?"

For Xiao Xi, who didn't quite understand, Xiao Cui softly explained, "The Xixia family is one of the Four Great Families of Wind City."

"Although the disputes between the Xixia family branches and the main family are constant and the conflicts have reached an irreconcilable point, even when the family branches out, they still put on a grand show."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she seemed to have a very clear understanding of the upper echelons of Wind City... and indeed she did.

Previously, when Xiao Cui felt that the Wind City Squad was being targeted, she carefully studied the relationship between the Squad's ally, the Yuan'an family, and other families.

However, upon closer reflection, I feel that what I said wasn't accurate enough.

"Well, actually there are three major families... The Jinhai family has already left Wind City Japan, so there are only three major families left."

As Xiao Cui spoke about things that were completely out of the ordinary for middle school students, she opened the cake box. "The Yuan'an family and the Dongshang family have formed an alliance... Now the Xixia family's situation will probably become increasingly difficult."

Nagashima Koki: "..."

Although I didn't understand it very well, it sounded really impressive.

The two were not talking loudly, so their conversation didn't reach the ears of the students at Wind City Affiliated Junior High... Of course, even if it had, they probably wouldn't have paid any attention to it.

At most, I'd think these two people were some kind of oddballs.

After Xiao Cui had almost finished eating the cake, she realized what Xi Jia was up to... because his family was well-off, he came to junior high school wanting to be the boss.

No, it shouldn't be called the boss.

Basically, I want to become a key figure in the class.

This is normal, and actually it's quite good.

Moreover, family members are family members; even if they are openly trying to win people over and establish their status, they don't show any particular arrogance.

Speak politely and greet teachers when you see them...

Although some of the family scions inevitably displayed arrogance on their faces, they didn't show it in their words or actions...

He's much more polite than other students his age.

Perhaps this is the value of a "family"... As long as they're not really just loafing around, they generally have good family upbringing.

When most of the students had arrived, and only Xijia's seat remained empty, the young lady of the Xixia family spoke up—

"Nice to meet you all, my name is Xixia Lian. It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

With that said, Xixia Lian, who perfectly fits the image of a "young lady" in the minds of junior high school students, immediately won everyone's favor.

Cake + Pretty + Heiress Style

It's really quite good.

Even Nagashima Koki's eyes lit up; she thought Xixia Lian was a good person... This was the first time in her life she had ever met a real young lady!

Thinking this, Nagashima Koki rested her chin on her hand, deciding to observe the situation carefully later. What if the other party was some kind of wicked young lady who did all sorts of evil deeds?

Perhaps this will be the first time in her life she'll see a dead young lady!

As Nagashima Koki was thinking this, Xixia Lian also sensed the strange gazes and exchanged a glance with Nagashima Koki...

Then, inexplicably, she felt a sharp, chilling unease in the innocent gaze of this student her age.

She had only ever seen this kind of sharpness in the eyes of the other adults in the family.

In an instant, Xixia Lian realized that this child did not seem to be a good person... The same was true for the girl next to her with a calm yet scrutinizing gaze.

I should be able to have a fun junior high school experience.

With this thought in mind, Xixia Lian looked at the bodyguard outside the window, just about to signal him that he could leave.

However, after looking in that direction, Xixia Lian paused for a moment.

At this moment, the bodyguard in the black suit was staring at the girl who had previously had a sharp gaze, and seemed to be talking on the phone.

Judging from his expression, it was definitely a "report".

So, who exactly is she?

Xixia Lian pondered this, countless family preschool education tips, such as "108 ways to socialize" and "building connections starts in kindergarten," flashed through her mind.

Chapter 563 Xiao Cui, with Clean Hands and Feet

School's out!

The learning style and lifestyle of Wind City Affiliated Junior High School perfectly match the rhythm of Wind City, sharing a relaxed atmosphere.

At least that's how it is for Nagashima Koki.

How was your day?

Lantian Zhu asked this question, and as she spoke, she drank her beverage, which she had bought from somewhere, while holding several stacks of money in her hand.

This scene is rather strange.

So, before answering the question "How are you doing?", Nagashima Koki expressed her doubt. "Did you become... a Robin Hood?"

Green... a bandit?

Could it be the ruthless bandit Lan?

Under Xiao Cui's shocked gaze, Lantian Zhu silently stuffed a considerable amount of money into his pocket. "No, I earned it by playing BB guns."

It's worth mentioning that playing with small steel balls is not an illegal business.

In other words, if you exchange money directly at a BB gun shop, then that shop is operating illegally.

However, if you take the "specific gift" you received from playing BB guns and then exchange it for money at the "gold exchange" run by the same person next door, then it's legal... In other words, it's exploiting a legal loophole.

"..." Looking at it this way, it seems like Sister Blue Sky has a lot of problems...

According to Yaochuan's sister, Lantian used to smoke and drink, and also liked to chew betel nuts... although she said she had quit.

Looking at it now, it's clear they're still using small steel balls.

However, one thing surprised Xiao Cui greatly, not that she was surprised that she would gamble... Xiao Cui already knew that.
