The Mindless Magical Girl? I Picked Her Up and Remade Her!

"Eh??"

In the rented apartment, Ling Li instinctively felt a chill run down her spine! She shrank back and muttered, "Why does it feel like someone's been talking about me...?"

"Big Sister, what do you think that was?"

At that moment, Ling Nai, who had shrunk down again, asked, "That person looked like they were in a lot of pain. Were they cursed or something?"

"How would I know? I'm not a sorcerer."

Shrugging, Ling Li said casually, "You can ask Papi next time you see it."

"Alright..."

Nodding, Ling Nai slung a long cloth bag over her back. "Then, Big Sister... I'm heading to the dojo to help out!"

"Go on!"

Waving her off, Ling Li curled up on the sofa without even lifting her head. Seeing her sister dressed so sloppily in such skimpy clothes, Ling Nai opened her mouth... As someone serious by nature, she hoped her sister could at least look a little more spirited.

But considering that her sister had already given it her all as a magical girl because of her request, it would not be right to ask for too much. So Ling Nai closed her mouth, silently carried her bag outside, and left.

After Ling Nai left, Ling Li propped her bare feet up on the coffee table. She scratched her snow-white belly, then looked at the latest comments about magical girls on her phone...

[Did you all see Magical Girl Xinghua's fight today? She completely steamrolled White Horse Monster!]

[Didn't Xinghua and Crimson Blade fail to beat White Horse Monster together before? What's that supposed to mean? Was she slacking off on purpose before?]

[Seriously! We placed so much hope in magical girls, and she still wasn't giving it her all in battle?]

[Shouldn't she compensate us for the losses caused by her not trying?]

[Give me a break. Find her first... Besides, when Meng Yue was around, the Monster Organization never caused any real damage.]

[Where did Meng Yue even go? She was always the first one to arrive at the scene before, but she hasn't shown up these last two times.]

Looking at those comments, Ling Li's gaze grew colder and colder as she gripped her phone. Then she sighed and muttered helplessly, "These people... They immediately decided I was hiding my strength and slacking off. Couldn't they consider that maybe I suddenly realized something and got stronger?"

After scrolling for ages, Ling Li could not find a single comment defending her. Instead, magical girl fans were all busy asking where Meng Yue had gone, with no time at all to speak up for Xinghua!

Honestly, Xinghua's popularity ranked near the bottom among magical girls. After all, she always looked expressionless and dull, completely different from the invincible-looking Meng Yue or the earnest and hardworking Crimson Blade! Even if she wore a disgusted expression, she would probably attract some niche fans, but she had absolutely no personality...

Even that reckless wind-type magical girl from the neighboring city, who tripped every time and ruined everything, was more popular than Xinghua! That was why no one spoke up for her even when people started smearing her. Of course, Ling Li had always known that...

Because Ling Li simply had no motivation! It was hard for her to feel motivated about protecting humanity, and she had basically been tricked into becoming a magical girl. Papi had once said that if not for her special physique, someone with her personality was utterly unsuited to becoming a magical girl!

"And I still haven't gotten my revenge..."

Tilting her head back, Ling Li said helplessly, "I can only hope Papi suddenly drops dead one day, or..."

Maybe I should try getting captured by the Monster Organization... But that was too risky, and Xiao Nai would cry her eyes out, so no.

Should I head back?

After watching the broadcast end, Meng Yue guessed that Bai Yu would be back soon. But then she thought that since she could not hide the fact that she had come out to eat anyway, she might as well see whether she could use this black card for something else!

Normally, Meng Yue would never be this shameless. Someone had given her a black card only to treat her to a meal, not told her to use it for anything else... Logically, she should not keep using it.

But Meng Yue had come with the intention of squandering the Monster Organization's funds, so she naturally had no kind thoughts about saving Black Bear Monster's money. She walked straight to the elevator, gave it a quick look, and locked onto the Starry Sky Grand Bathhouse on the nineteenth floor!

Since she always used magic to clean herself, Meng Yue had basically never taken a bath. She had properly experienced the comfort of soaking in Bai Yu's bathroom, so naturally, she was very interested in this so-called Starry Sky Grand Bathhouse!

Thus, Meng Yue immediately rushed up to the nineteenth floor and charged through the bathhouse entrance! Only after entering did she discover that the entire bathhouse was automated. There was a card reader beside every bathing room door, and swiping a card would grant access to the corresponding room.

"Let's see..."

After glancing at the bathing room descriptions on the wall, Meng Yue quickly found her target! Orchid Bath: Special spring water was used as bathwater. Soaking in it not only relaxed the body and mind and healed hidden injuries, but also helped increase the magic power within one's body.

The moment she saw that bath, Meng Yue swiped Black Bear Monster's card and booked the entire room! She did not want to bathe with other furry monsters, and for double the points, she could enjoy the bath all by herself!

Anyway, Black Bear Monster's points came from beating up us magical girls, right? You never beat me... but you beat Xinghua and Crimson Blade plenty of times, and they're both my dear little sisters!

Thinking that, Meng Yue used Black Bear Monster's card with a clear conscience to open the bathing room door. Before her was a round bath the size of an ordinary swimming pool. In the center stood an angel statue holding a jade jar. As the room door shut and locked, hot water began pouring endlessly from the mouth of the jar into the bath.

"Not bad~~~"

White steam soon filled the entire room. Just feeling the heat made Meng Yue's body go soft. Once the bath filled with hot water, Meng Yue pulled off her leather outfit and carefully tested the temperature with her toes... Then she immediately submerged herself in the bath!

"Whoa~~~"

The instant she entered the water, Meng Yue could not help letting out a blissful cry. Though she had not been particularly tired these past three days, she still felt as if all her exhaustion had been eradicated! The hot water wrapped around her body, and even the magic power within her seemed to be nourished!

Very quickly, Meng Yue was shocked to discover that the amount of magic power in her body had actually increased by 0.1%! Even if it was only a tiny increase... she had been bathing for less than twenty minutes! In the past, the only way to increase her magic power was to painstakingly refine it over and over within her body. When had there ever been such an easy way to grow stronger?

It would be great if Crimson Blade could come soak here...

Meng Yue thought this because Crimson Blade's problem was that she was not good at refining the magic power inside her body. Otherwise, with her incredibly powerful martial arts combined with strong magic power, her combat ability would definitely not lose to Meng Yue's or Xinghua's!

How about finding a way to kidnap her here someday, let her bathe for a few weeks, then release her?

Thinking that, Meng Yue leaned her shoulders back. By accident, her hand touched a small button on the bath wall. She instinctively pressed it... and the lights in the bathing room instantly went out, replaced by a vast starry sky above her head!

"Wh-What is this?"

It was not just above her. The scenery around Meng Yue changed as well! In the blink of an eye, she found herself in an endless grassland, bathing beneath the night sky!

This was... magic that simulated scenery? It felt pretty nice! It really felt like bathing on the grasslands. Come to think of it, could she change the scenery too?

With that thought, Meng Yue pressed the button again. The scene changed to the side of a massive waterfall, and it was utterly relaxing!

Then Meng Yue kept pressing the button. Desert, jungle, snowfield... and eventually, even bathing in the deep sea. Watching an incredibly realistic great white shark swim past her, Meng Yue, who had never even visited an aquarium, let out a scream!

Soaking in the bath while enjoying the simulated scenery, Meng Yue was absolutely delighted! At that moment, she wished time could stop forever, so she would not have to think about magical girls or the Monster Organization anymore... Wouldn't it be nice to throw away all her worries and simply enjoy herself?

Just like that, Meng Yue soaked in the bath with a flushed face. But she had overlooked one issue. Bathing alone was quiet and private, but that also meant that if she soaked for too long and fainted, no one would remind her. That was especially true for someone like Meng Yue, who had never enjoyed such a luxurious bath before...

Like a frog slowly boiling in warm water, it was easiest to overlook one's own situation while immersed in pleasure. Before she knew it, Meng Yue dizzily lowered her little mouth into the warm water and blew bubbles, her mind becoming hazy...

"Meow~~~"

Who knew how much time had passed before Meng Yue finally regained consciousness! But the moment she woke up, she felt cold all over, completely without the comfortable sensation of her body melting into hot water!

"What's going on..."

Rubbing her eyes, Meng Yue discovered that she was once again wearing that black velvet catgirl outfit from before, and she was currently sprawled on that familiar carpet...

Wasn't she still in her master's room? Had everything she experienced just now been a dream?

Meng Yue's head was still a little muddled. She swayed as she sat up, then heard a familiar voice.

"Did you have fun?"

Hearing that voice, Meng Yue answered instinctively without the slightest hesitation, "I did!"

Then someone grabbed the back of her neck. Bai Yu dragged Meng Yue by the neck like he was picking up a cat and said, "You really are a disobedient pet cat. I told you to stay in the room and not go out."

Oh no! Master's back?

Hearing Bai Yu's voice, Meng Yue immediately perked up! But she was not too worried. She had already prepared an excuse... one enough to make Bai Yu believe she had not recovered her memories!

As for making Bai Yu refrain from punishing her for sneaking out of the room, Meng Yue had never expected that from the beginning! In her eyes, her master was a complete pervert. No matter what she did, he would find some excuse to punish her!

So as long as she made him believe that everything she had done was unintentional, she had won. As for any punishment... what she had experienced today was worth it anyway. Whatever!

"Waaah~~~ Master wasn't in the room, and I was lonely all by myself!"

Thus, Meng Yue began using her foolproof method again: playing dumb and pitiful! She curled up and pretended to shiver, saying pitifully, "So... I went out to look for Master!"

"Look for me?"

Bai Yu asked teasingly, "So you looked for me all the way to the cafeteria?"

"While looking for Master, I smelled something nice! So I went looking for tasty food! There was a huge room filled with lots of delicious smells!"

Meng Yue did not answer Bai Yu's question. Instead, she continued on her own, "I was hungry~~ How could I have the strength to look for Master without filling my belly first?"

Not only was Meng Yue talking to herself, but her words did not connect at all. However, she had heard before that some mentally ill idiots spoke in such a confused manner, saying one thing and then another, making normal communication completely impossible!

Anyway, her current persona was that of a childish idiot who had been brainwashed into stupidity by Bai Yu's magic. Speaking like this was perfectly normal!

"I see..."

Bai Yu had never suspected that his magic had failed, since he had no reason to think in that direction. Hearing Meng Yue explain herself like that, he found it reasonable. He had indeed been gone for a long time today... It was not impossible that Meng Yue had become lonely and wanted to come out looking for him.

"And then, and then! A big guy covered in black fur ran over and tried to stop me!"

Seeing that Bai Yu did not seem suspicious, Meng Yue got even more animated! Smiling cheerfully, she said, "I thought, I'm Master's exclusive slave soldier, so how could some black thing that came out of nowhere stop me? So I scolded it right there! Sure enough, Master's name is useful. It immediately gave me an amazing black card! I could get delicious food just by pressing things!"

As she spoke, Meng Yue instinctively reached for the black card... But when her little hand touched the black velvet fabric around her hip, she realized that her clothes had already been changed. Bai Yu must have taken the card and returned it to Black Bear Monster long ago!

He actually changed my clothes... Pervert! Though it wasn't the first time. When I keep you as a pet in the future, I'll change your clothes with my own hands too and make you feel overwhelming shame!

Thinking viciously, Meng Yue blinked her large eyes and asked with an innocent expression, "But later... I remember running somewhere to take a bath. Why am I back here now?"

"Has no one ever told you that you can't soak in a bath for too long? Staying in hot water for a long time makes it very easy to faint!"

At that moment, Bai Yu suddenly raised his voice. "If I hadn't gotten there in time, you would have drowned by now!"

Huh? Why did this guy sound like he cared about me?

Hearing the anger in Bai Yu's voice, Meng Yue's heart inexplicably warmed. Still acting foolish, she apologized, "Hehe~~~ Sorry, Master. I didn't know that... You never taught me!"

"I never taught you to go bathe in the bathhouse either. Since when were you so capable?"

Bai Yu was obviously in a bad mood, because he had indeed been careless... It was not that he had not considered the possibility of Meng Yue leaving the room, but he never imagined that she would go to the bathhouse, soak until she nearly drowned, and have to be rescued!

Since only monsters used the bathhouse before, Bai Yu had never considered the possibility of someone fainting from soaking too long. Otherwise, a private bathing room was rather dangerous when it was sealed off, since no one would notice if someone drowned...

If a dignified magical girl actually died while bathing in the bathhouse... Bai Yu did not even know what expression he should make! More importantly, the Dark-Energy Converter still could not revive humans. If Meng Yue died, his evil plan to raise a magical girl into a Monster Organization executive would be completely finished!

"Alright~~~ Sorry. I won't do it again."

Seeing Bai Yu act this way, Meng Yue felt a little guilty too. She had not expected that she would nearly soak herself to death in the bath, then be saved by her enemy, the leader of the Monster Organization!

I actually owe this guy a favor? Damn it! Looks like even if I become the enemy of the entire world, I can't kill him!

As Meng Yue was thinking that, Bai Yu suddenly reached out and pinched her nose.

"Ah~~~"

Almost as a reflex, Meng Yue very obediently stuck out her little tongue.

Then Bai Yu skillfully used his pinky to tickle Meng Yue's tongue. Her shoulders trembled nonstop as she knew that her master was punishing her again... In a moment, he would stick his finger into her mouth. Her master was as perverted as ever!

Yet although Meng Yue cursed Bai Yu as a pervert in her heart, her expression was exceedingly docile. She even took the initiative to suck on Bai Yu's finger and slide it back and forth.

This time, Meng Yue did not use the excuse of playing her role to convince herself about her intimate behavior... Rather, she had completely forgotten about that. She simply wanted to show Bai Yu some affection for no reason at all.

The contamination increased again...

While Meng Yue held his finger in her mouth, Bai Yu used a thought to inspect Meng Yue's Magic Core. Sure enough, the purple points of light on it had increased again.

She ate, she bathed... This girl had a very happy day! Happy enough for her Magic Core to become even more contaminated...

Although Bai Yu still did not know what those points of light on Meng Yue's Magic Core were, he had a vague feeling that contaminating her Magic Core would benefit him! Perhaps once the white Magic Core was completely contaminated by purple, Meng Yue would fully fall into corruption!

Completely unaware of this, Meng Yue was still thinking about the black card. So she asked, "Master, did you see the black card that big guy gave me?"

Meng Yue's tone was filled with yearning for that black card! Her master would definitely be able to tell how much she coveted the privileges that came with it. That way, he would surely use it to trick her into working hard to become a Monster Organization executive!

She wanted to see what method Bai Yu had to raise her into someone powerful enough to defeat Xinghua and Crimson Blade!

"That's a black card only high-ranking executives in the organization can have. Does a little slave soldier like you deserve to use it?"

Sure enough, Bai Yu held Meng Yue's chin and began brainwashing her. "But~~~ if you work hard and help me defeat the magical girls, promoting you to a high-ranking executive isn't impossible."

As he spoke, Bai Yu pointed at the photograph hanging on his wall. "See those magical girls in the picture? I've already defeated the one in the middle. The two on the left and right are up to you!"

Seriously... So I count as defeated in your eyes already?

Thinking that, Meng Yue suddenly pointed innocently at the one in the middle of the photograph and asked, "Master, why does the magical girl in the middle... look exactly like me? Aren't I your exclusive slave soldier?"
