An Act of Cowardice
The second week of the Myriad Immortals Ceremony was relatively calm, and could be described as a "steady and positive" trend.
Not many people are attacking the sect's grand formation...
What? You're asking why there's a sect formation? Isn't this supposed to be a magical girl anime? How did it suddenly switch to a fantasy film?
What am I supposed to do with this? Is this still a magical girl theme?
Hello, yes.
But please don't worry...
This sect formation is actually a kind of barrier to protect against Monster, but it's called a sect formation in China.
It feels like it's been a long time since we've heard about Monster attacking the city and preparing to devour its Spirit Vein.
But there's nothing we can do about it...
Aside from the trouble caused by the "Six Arts" before... oh, now only the "Five Arts" are left.
But apart from that period, Monster are actually not very common to begin with...
Aside from the period when humanoid Monster caused trouble, the last time Japan experienced a clear Monster attack was during the time of North Capital.
Yes, it was the Monster that came when the Five Kings of Japan gathered together, treating the entire Vatican City Guard as a hypothetical enemy, and attacked the North Capital.
Turn out...
There was absolutely no reaction from the Vatican City... not even the entire guard, not even a magical girl capable of kicking "Full Fill".
It wasn't until later that everyone understood.
It turns out that monsters like the Holy Guard are extremely rare even among magical girls.
In the end, it seemed like they were outsmarting thin air.
It might be a little awkward...
All right...
Turning our attention back to the Grand Myriad Immortals Ceremony, the reason for opening the sect formation in Bright Moon City was to prevent any rebellious forces from causing trouble... Such a thing is something the Xian Kui cannot tolerate.
Even if no more monsters and demons appear, it will still be difficult to deal with the remaining Followers of Moerae who haven't been completely eradicated causing trouble again.
At least that's what Xian Kui thinks.
It's possible that the sect's grand formation took effect, or it's possible that everything genuinely went smoothly. In any case, the secular world remained calm for a week.
Yes, things were calm on the surface for a week.
Since we've mentioned the secular world, there must also be things that happen "behind the scenes." So, what are those "behind the scenes"?
Secretly...
It's in an uproar!
On the other side of the world, the side belonging to magical girls and monsters... something truly enormous has happened recently.
A momentous event that shook heaven and earth!
Cong Yu has become prime minister.
Anyone who's ever been an eccentric knows that the class divisions among eccentrics are very clear...
An emperor commands 14 Monster King and 100 Monster Group. Each Monster King develops their own team, and the leaders of the Monster Group also have their own teams.
The Monster King and the Monster Group are distinguished, much like the military and the police, in most countries.
Although the Monster King needs the Monster Group to do things, and those groups don't dare to refuse, it's still not something that can be justified on the Light Side.
On the Light Side, the two are independent of each other.
But starting this week, some news slowly began to spread... namely, that the King of Wind City was about to become the prime minister.
Replacing His Chi You, who was unable to personally manage the Monster Group, to manage the groups... could be considered a promotion.
This can be considered a position second only to the emperor.
Of course, it's just a rumor, and it might even be a hoax... but unfortunately, it isn't, especially not today.
The two guardians, one black and one white, formally informed the group's leader of the news— Cong Yu would be leading the charge, blah blah blah, after escaping the predicament, blah blah blah.
Although it felt a bit roundabout.
But everyone immediately understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant... Wasn't he going to make Cong Yu the prime minister?!
I'm from the China Population Forum, and this is what the people (appointed) mean!
I'm a Dungeon Fighter Online player, and this is what it means to be a Priest (promotion)!
I am Cao Chong, and this is the story of weighing the elephant (the Prime Minister)!
[Snow Woman @ Cong Yu: Have you dealt with Chi You yet?]
[Snow Woman: How far have we gotten?]
[Takemikazuchi: Huh?]
[Tamamo: Meow?!]
[Shuten: Hey, I have a feeling that you childhood friends have been plotting something that neither we nor anyone else knows about?]
[Shuten: If we don't like what we heard, we can chat privately. Takemikazuchi will probably gossip about it everywhere...]
[Takemikazuchi: Huh?]
[Takemikazuchi: Although I don't know what it means, my reaction is seven times faster than a human's. If I feel something is wrong, I'll turn off my phone myself.]
[Shuten: I can tell you don't understand.]
[Shuten @ Cong Yu: So, what exactly does "getting it done" mean? I'm really curious...]
"Beep beep beep--"
"Cong Yu- chan! Your phone!"
Yaochuan Guang shouted this, while Cong Yu, who was looking for something to eat in the refrigerator, turned her head with a starchy sausage in her mouth and said, "Hmm? Okay!"
Then, yawning, Cong Yu plopped down on the sofa, opened her phone, and held a WangXWang ham sausage in her hand.
It seems... everyone already knows...
[Cong Yu @ Snow Woman: I didn't do anything, I just told Chi You that it would be very difficult for her to truly rule the world after she escaped.]
[Cong Yu: Either I work overtime like you until I die every day, or I endure the constant rebellion. It's that simple.]
[Snow Woman: Working overtime... sigh.]
[Cong Yu: Then Chi You agreed to my plan, thinking that ruling by reputation was also acceptable... When the aliens invade and ask us who the boss of Earth is, we'll just say it's Miss Chi You.]
[Snow Woman: Haha.]
[Snow Woman: That's quite interesting.]
[Takemikazuchi: Huh? I see... But I also want to be the world's boss, I want to build my own giant statue.]
[Tamamo: Aren't emojis enough?]
[Tamamo: * Takemikazuchi wagging his tail. GIF*]
[Takemikazuchi:!!!]
[Takemikazuchi: You stinky fox, you stole my emojis? You're not allowed to use them!]
[Tamamo: * Takemikazuchi question mark. GIF*]
[Takemikazuchi: Aaaaaah!!]
A bunch of clowns...
Cong Yu thought this to himself, smiling gently as he continued swimming, then his expression suddenly changed, because...
[Snow Woman: This matter is also being discussed in the main group chat. I'll explain it for you in the main group... in a way that slightly protects Chi You's pride.]
[Cong Yu: Thank you.]
[Snow Woman: We're so familiar with each other, there's no need to thank me.]
[Snow Woman: But you should still check the group chat; everyone's discussing why you didn't hide your identity from the Monster Group.]
[Snow Woman: The imperial edict that Chi You sent to the various groups clearly stated "King of Wind City, Cong Yu," so it shouldn't be an accident, right?]
[Cong Yu:...]
[Snow Woman:...]
[Cong Yu:...]
[Snow Woman: Could it be... that you didn't explain things clearly to the Little Black Little White characters who drafted the imperial edict?]
[Cong Yu: Uh, I forgot.]
[Cong Yu
It doesn't matter anymore. Everyone around me knows I'm the King of Wind City, so there's no need to hide it anymore.
You all probably already know... right?
Well, anyway, vacationing in China is really great...
Unfortunately, she'll soon be juggling (questionable) studies with leading Great Unification of magical girls, monsters, and ordinary people from around the world.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen during this time...
Oh no, they've planted a flag again.

[Shunni Sanqianliu: Red! Doctor! Big Shadow! Biji! Nargana! Can you guys explain what "King of Wind City - Cong Yu" means?!]
[Big Shadow: I have absolutely no idea! Does any Little Shadow know about this? Didn't you upload it? Didn't you upload it?!]
[Little Shadow 088: I don't know!]
[Little Shadow 1540: I don't know!]
[Little Shadow 000: Some of Cong Yu's Little Shadow about going to be Cong Yu's bodyguard haven't been uploaded... the rest have been uploaded.]
[Biji: Huh? What do you mean?]
[Nargana: I didn't understand either.]
[Doctor:...]
[Shunni Sanqianliu: Cong Yu is the King of Wind City! Cong Yu is the King of Wind City! He's been deceiving us for so long!!]
[Red: Haha, well...]
[Biji: Uh... what else?]
[Nargana: Yes, isn't Cong Yu the King of Wind City?]
[Big Shadow:???]
[Shunni Sanqianliu:???]
Chapter 693 Cowardly Act
Throughout history, there has always been a group of people who are kept in the dark... because the population is so large.
So there might even be situations like, "What? The war is over? Did we win?"...
Such people really exist.
Others might even have a feeling about their reaction, like, "How could you not know even though I didn't say it?"
However, neither Big Shadow nor Shunni Sanqianliu ever imagined that one day they would become one of them.
Big Shadow was, strictly speaking, the first complete outsider to be pulled into the 22nd Group by Cong Yu.
If the 22nd Group were to be divided into factions, then she would undoubtedly be a veteran figure in Cong Yu's faction.
It turned out she was the last person to know that Cong Yu was the King of Wind City... no, one of the last two.
