Bai Yu clapped from the side. "In just two days, you've brought the Ice Crystal Snow Wolf's power to this level. Sure enough, you were born to be a dog!"
"..."
Faced with such a strange compliment, Xinghua's little face uncontrollably flushed red. Clearly, those words were right up her alley.
"Then... can I go get revenge now?"
Crawling up to Bai Yu, Xinghua asked with a trembling expression. Bai Yu had promised that once she could skillfully control Beast Power, she would be allowed to take revenge!
"Theoretically, you can—"
"You're still far from it, meow!"
Before Bai Yu could finish, an untimely voice rang out. Meng Yue strutted in with her little head held high, pointed at Xinghua, and said, "You're not even an ordinary cadre yet. You think that counts as skillfully controlling Beast Power?"
"Sister Meng Yue, don't go too far—"
Seeing that shameless catgirl who had tricked her three times come over to ruin things again, Xinghua ground her teeth in anger. Meng Yue, meanwhile, said lazily, "I only happily went to get revenge after beating you up, earning points, and becoming an ordinary cadre myself!"
Beat me up... earn points?
Xinghua froze for two seconds, seemingly realizing something... She finally understood why Meng Yue had enjoyed beating her up so much that day! And at that moment—she finally couldn't take it anymore!
"Xing Liuyue!"
Pointing her cannon at Meng Yue, Xinghua shouted furiously, "I'm going to kill you!!"
"Huh?"
The instant she heard that name, Meng Yue blinked... then asked in confusion, "Who are you calling?"
"Huh?"
This time, Xinghua was the one who froze. She lay on the ground in a daze for a moment, then turned toward Bai Yu and sincerely praised him, "Monster Leader, your brainwashing skills are incredible!"
What kind of method did you use to make her forget even that name, which held such special meaning for her?
Amazing, Leader! Brainwash me too! I'm not asking for much—just make me stop feeling weirdly embarrassed around my little sister!
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Meng Yue frowned, about to say something else... but at that moment, she inexplicably felt a strange sensation emerge in her chest.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Meng Yue grew curious, an ice-blue light bullet shot straight at her. If her reaction speed had not already reached an unbelievable level, that ice bullet would have struck her!
Meng Yue leaned back, watching the light bullet infused with icy energy streak past her eyes. Then she suddenly pitched forward, planting both cat paws on the ground as her glittering cat eyes gave Xinghua an eerie look.
"A little grunt who's only been in the organization for a few days dares disrespect a senior cadre like me?"
Her cat tail swayed as Meng Yue said excitedly, "Looks like I'll have to drag you back into the interrogation room and teach you another good lesson!"
"Perfect... I'm getting tired of fighting Iron Golems anyway!"
Xinghua refused to back down. "Before I go out for revenge... I'll use you to get some practice!"
Inside the training room, two beautiful girls who had once both been Magical Girls crouched on all fours. Compared to Xinghua, Meng Yue looked far more feral, even raising her rear high like a cat about to bristle...
"Meng Yue, don't go for the kill."
At last, Bai Yu's voice slowly rang out. "Li Li, do whatever you want. She can revive anyway... though I don't think you can kill her in your current state."
I'm really being underestimated!
Hearing Bai Yu's rather flippant words, Xinghua bared her teeth just like Meng Yue, revealing her canine fangs, which she could now freely harden and sharpen at will!
"Master, even so, I wouldn't kill Xiao Li—"
Meng Yue answered Bai Yu on the surface, but while she was still speaking, she suddenly charged toward Xinghua without any warning!
Same old sly, shameless fighting style!
Xinghua had long anticipated Meng Yue's tactics! After being tricked three times, she had already experienced Meng Yue's cunning shamelessness firsthand!
Xinghua no longer held any Fantasy. That righteous, holy Magical Girl from before was, in her heart, as good as dead!
"Huff!"
In an instant, Xinghua opened her mouth and exhaled silver-white freezing air. The air around her immediately solidified, and in less than a second, a wall of ice rose before her!
"Just a thin layer of ice—"
Seeing the seemingly thin ice wall before Xinghua, Meng Yue immediately felt competitive! With her speed, she could obviously have gone around the ice wall and attacked Xinghua from behind, but she instead wanted to crush Xinghua along with that laughable defense!
"Crack!"
However, when Meng Yue slammed a cat paw into the ice wall, she discovered that it was far tougher than she had imagined! That savage strike only left cracks in it. When she tried to pull her paw back... she discovered that it had already frozen to the wall!
"Haaah~~~"
Behind the ice wall, Xinghua continued breathing mist-like ice magic into it through her little mouth. The paw frozen to the wall began to slowly ice over, and the frost on it started spreading up Meng Yue's arm—
"Swish!"
Yet in the very next second, Meng Yue raised her left cat paw and, without hesitation, cut off her own right hand!
"Crack!"
But then, the ice wall in front of Meng Yue suddenly exploded, sending a mass of icy fragments rushing toward her. The sharp shards left many wounds across her body...
"Meow!"
The waves of pain also stirred a trace of Magical Beast ferocity within Meng Yue. Instinctively, she felt an urge to tear Xinghua apart cruelly... though it only lasted a moment.
"Huff!"
Purple poisonous fog instantly burst from her body. Meng Yue raised her left hand and controlled the toxic mist around her, condensing it into tiny thorn-like needles...
"Be pierced through by a sky full of poisonous thorns!"
With a swing of her cat paw, Meng Yue shouted fiercely, "Purple Poison Thorn—meow!"
However, just as Meng Yue was about to fire the mass of poisonous thorns all at once, she suddenly took a chop to the head!
"You only suffered a tiny setback..."
Placing a hand on Meng Yue's head, Bai Yu said speechlessly, "You're already raging and using your ultimate move just seconds after the fight starts? Your temperament is way too trash-tier, isn't it?"
After all, Meng Yue had created a sky full of poisonous thorns in a fit of anger. If she controlled that many thorns and fired them over, Xinghua definitely would not be able to block them at her current level! The fight had only just begun—what would be the point if it ended in seconds?
Of course, that was only for now...
"Pfft, hahahaha!"
Hearing Bai Yu's evaluation of Meng Yue, Xinghua immediately burst out laughing! She instinctively agreed. "Sister Meng Yue, that really is a fitting assessment for you!"
"But! She's clearly just a grunt! She's clearly a slacking junior—"
Miss Meng Yue, too lazy to control her temperament, said whatever came to mind. But before she could finish, Bai Yu grabbed her cat tail, making her let out a soft cry...
"Meoww~~~"
"I still haven't settled accounts with you for barging in with that smug look on your face and interrupting me without permission~~~"
Bai Yu wrapped an arm around the little cat, who had lost the ability to resist, and whispered into her ear, "Who told you to point fingers at my decision without permission? And then you acted so trash-tier afterward... You deserve punishment!"
"Meow! I was wrong, meow!!"
"Tch~~~ You've admitted plenty of mistakes. You aren't thinking you'll dare do it again next time, are you?"
"Hehe~~~ How could I—meow!!"
"I can tell at a glance that you'll dare do it again next time, so I'll punish you for that future mistake too!"
"Meowah~~~"
Xinghua watched the person and cat interact like that right in front of her... For some reason, she suddenly felt a strange urge to destroy the scene before her with an ice bullet!
The Monster Leader was helping her. By all rights, she should have been happy...
Forget it! Her priority right now was to use the Monster Leader to achieve her revenge! Compared with those strange thoughts... getting revenge came first!
"Monster Leader... when exactly can I go get revenge?"
"Don't be impatient... Those enemies of yours aren't going anywhere. I'll definitely let you take revenge!"
As Bai Yu rubbed Meng Yue's cat ears, he said, "But I suddenly feel that Meng Yue wasn't entirely wrong. You do lack real combat experience in the proper sense, so..."
A malicious smile appeared on Bai Yu's face. "As long as you advance to ordinary cadre, you can go get revenge!"
"Advance to ordinary cadre?"
Hearing that, Xinghua immediately relaxed. Bai Yu had let her spar with Iron Golems over the past two days, and every one of them possessed the strength of an ordinary monster cadre. Since she could defeat ten Iron Golems at once, her strength had long surpassed that of ordinary cadres!
Logically, becoming an ordinary monster cadre should not have been difficult for her. But then she remembered what Meng Yue had just said... That woman said she had beaten me up, earned points, and become an ordinary cadre.
That meant...
"I have to fight Magical Girls... to obtain these so-called points, right?"
In other words, to get revenge... she now had to fight Xiao Nai?
Xinghua did not know that a new Magical Girl had already arrived in this city, so the first person she thought of was Crimson Blade.
"That's right~~~ The organization system will evaluate your battle footage against Magical Girls and award you corresponding points based on how much damage you inflict on them."
Speaking from experience, Meng Yue cheerfully shared, "Spend 5,000 points to advance to ordinary cadre, and 20,000 points to advance to senior cadre!"
"Then..."
Hearing that, Xinghua suddenly asked, as if possessed, "How many points did you earn when you beat me up?"
"7,500 points!"
Meng Yue proudly raised her little head. "I really have to thank Xiao Li for all those points she dropped! Without you... how could I have become a senior cadre so quickly?"
Xinghua: "..."
I really want to beat her up after all!
"Speaking of which, Crimson Blade's scoring criteria have increased too. As long as you can hurt Crimson Blade even a little now, earning 5,000 points won't be difficult."
Bai Yu, eagerly anticipating a battle between sisters, added fuel to the fire. "After that, you can go get revenge. How about it? Interested?"
"It's not impossible... After all, everything is for revenge!"
After only a moment, Xinghua said, "But Monster Leader, you promised me that before the battle... you would erase my embarrassment toward Xiao Nai!"
"Why? According to our plan... it's not time for you to reveal your identity to Crimson Blade yet, is it?"
Bai Yu was somewhat puzzled. "What's so embarrassing about hiding your identity and fighting your little sister?"
"Being on all fours like a dog in front of my little sister and constantly barking is already humiliating enough, okay!"
Blushing furiously, Xinghua said quietly, "Even if she can't recognize me... I still feel it'll affect my performance! Also, give me a tighter mask when the time comes. If possible, dye my hair too!"
"Sure. Then I'll dye Li Li's hair silver-white, just like Meng Yue's."
Since it was indeed not yet time to reveal everything, Bai Yu agreed to Xinghua's various requests. He then smiled pleasantly and took out a bottle of potion, along with the familiar Hypnosis Blindfold and headphones.
"This is a potion that can weaken your ability to think. Combined with the hypnosis equipment from last time... it'll let you enter hypnosis faster and more deeply than before."
Shaking the items in his hand, Bai Yu smiled. "Then I'll just give you settings that keep you from feeling embarrassed around your little sister!"
"Okay..."
Xinghua still had great confidence in Bai Yu's abilities. After all, he was the culprit who had turned Meng Yue into what she was now, and Xinghua herself had experienced his abilities a few days ago—
"Then without further delay, let's begin now!"
Before you continue
