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

Unfortunately, Bai Yu had only been smug for a little while before Meng Yue took her turn... Though because the Beast Core had been converted one hundred percent, Meng Yue no longer had any Purification magic inside her as long as she did not reverse her core, the power boost from a fully converted Beast Core alone... was more than enough to cause trouble!!

Thus, the three of them spent the whole night tormenting each other, leaving none of them able to get up the next morning... Their originally planned revenge was therefore postponed by a day.

"I told you... We had an important mission today..."

With her cat ears drooping, Meng Yue said lazily, "You really shouldn't have done it with her..."

"Shut up! Li Li's stamina wasn't even enough to count as an appetizer. Last night was obviously mostly your fault..."

"But Master had a problem too, meow~~~ Since you couldn't beat me... why didn't you just surrender and let me do whatever I wanted? You even had to cast enhancement magic on your body and trade blows with me..."

After trying and failing to move her cat tail, Meng Yue muttered, "Now look, none of us can move... The acting leader and the leader are both down. If a Magical Girl invaded now... what would you do?"

It Was Me First, Meow!

"Don't worry. Magical Girls can't find this place."

Bai Yu said fearlessly, "If this place were that easy to find, the Monster Organization would have been wiped out long ago."

That was certainly true... If Meng Yue at her peak had been able to break in here before, then the Monster Organization really would have been annihilated! But in reality, even the Magical Girl team back then could only find the Organization's outer bases. Let alone now, when the team was practically falling apart.

"Seriously... I was originally thinking that since you couldn't move, I could go enjoy being the leader by myself..."

Lying limply on the bed, Meng Yue said unwillingly, "But... I'll probably be the first of the three of us to recover. When that happens, I can still go..."

"Are you okay? Didn't I already agree to let you be leader for three days?"

Bai Yu kindly reminded her, "You protected me for a full ten minutes before, so even if you hadn't made it impossible for me to get out of bed, I wouldn't have stopped you."

"R-Right!"

She had been thinking about other things and had nearly forgotten about that!

"Why didn't you say so earlier! Then I'll just have to wait until I can get up again, meow!"

Meng Yue had been so angry that she wanted to wrap her tail around Bai Yu, but her entire body felt like it had fallen apart, and she still could not lift her cat tail. Last night's madness had not only tormented Bai Yu—she herself had been thoroughly worn out too... She had brought it on herself!

"It's a shame Li Li still hasn't woken up..."

Glancing at Xinghua, who was still unconscious beside them, Bai Yu said regretfully, "Otherwise, we could hold another strategy meeting in bed... I mean a serious one, to discuss whether there's anything else we can improve in the plan."

"Speaking of which... Master, there's something I've always been wondering about."

At that moment, Meng Yue suddenly asked with a hint of jealousy, "Why do you call her Li Li? Why give her such an intimate, mushy nickname? Does she deserve it?"

"Uh... At first, I just thought it was fun to call her that, and then I got used to it."

Bai Yu answered like that, and he was not wrong. At first, he had called Xinghua that because he wanted to make her physically uncomfortable with such an embarrassingly intimate nickname. She had indeed shown considerable resistance at first...

But now, Xinghua not only no longer resisted it, she even treated it as Bai Yu's pet name for her. Last night, she had become excited the moment he called her that... He had trained her quite successfully.

"But Master has never called me something like that. I was clearly here first, meow!"

Raising her cat ears, Meng Yue said unhappily, "Anyway... I want one too!"

"Uh... Then what do you want me to call you? Yue Yue?"

"No, no... That name doesn't really suit me."

Yet Meng Yue instinctively blurted out, "Call me Liu Liu instead!"

"Liu Liu?"

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised to hear that. When Xinghua had called out Meng Yue's real name, Xing Liuyue, Meng Yue had shown no reaction at all. Logically, she should no longer have any memories of her true name, so why had she instinctively chosen one character from it as a nickname now?

"Mm!"

Meng Yue replied with a beaming smile, "I don't know why, but I feel really happy when someone important calls me that!"

Meng Yue did not want to dig too deeply into the reason behind it. She had no interest in her past at all. As long as being called that made her happy, that was enough!

"Fine, then, Liu Liu. Let's talk about tomorrow first..."

The next day arrived, in an alleyway in Moonstar City...

"Boss! Please give me a few more days!!"

A haggard man in his thirties was begging a scar-faced, one-armed man in front of him. "You clearly promised that I wouldn't have to repay the money until a year later! My wife hasn't even come out of the emergency room yet, and you're already here demanding money—"

"Can't be helped! My boss suddenly asked me for money, so there's nothing I, as his underling, can do!"

The one-armed man pressed the flat of his machete against the man's face and grinned viciously. "Debts have to be repaid! Even if I did say you could pay me back later... if I, the creditor, suddenly run into an emergency, can't I ask for the money back early?"

"It would be one thing if you only wanted the money, but this is clearly usury—"

"Watch your mouth! It was already generous enough of me to lend you money. Otherwise, your wife, who got crippled after being hit by a car, would have died long ago!"

The one-armed man patted the man's face with the flat of his blade. As the mastermind behind the whole affair, his expression suddenly softened, and he said gently, "Forget it. I know your family isn't doing well... You definitely can't come up with that much money right now."

"So... use your five-year-old daughter to pay off the debt! That way, not only can you clear your debt, you can lighten your burden too!"

The next second, the one-armed man revealed his true purpose. Smiling, he said, "Your family can't afford to raise her anymore anyway, right? Why not use her to save your wife? Don't worry, I guarantee I'll sell her to a good family—"

The one-armed man's tone and words made it sound as though he were granting the man an enormous favor! Upon hearing this, the man's pupils suddenly shrank. In an instant, he seemed to understand something...

"Could it be... you planned all of this?"

His fists clenched tightly. He recalled how, when he had taken his daughter outside not long ago, he had constantly felt like someone was watching them. His eyes were bloodshot as he asked, trembling all over, "All of this... was to make me personally hand my daughter over to you?"

"Hahaha, don't make things up! I'm the great benefactor who lent you money!"

Waving his machete, Ling Bazi looked arrogantly at the pitiful father and laughed. "Instead of imagining such pointless nonsense, why don't you hurry up and give me an ans—"

"Who would've thought I'd have to deal with gang members one day?"

"Long time no see, Ling Bazi."

However, at that moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him. Ling Bazi's whole body shuddered, and he instinctively turned around... Three figures had somehow appeared in the alley.

And one of them had actually said the name he used back in the village!

"So you really only have one hand left. That's what you get for being addicted to gambling!"

Before him stood a brown-haired girl wearing a black leather jacket on top and tight leather pants below. Her outfit was cool enough, but she wore a collar around her snow-white neck. At its center, a thin silver chain connected to a palm-sized black cube.

Xinghua Was in a Good Mood

The other girl had silver hair, a strange half-mask over her face, and a black bodysuit wrapped around her figure. Standing between them was a delicate-looking black-haired boy.

No matter how one looked at it, this trio did not seem like they should have appeared here at this moment. At least, that was what Ling Bazi thought... He immediately pointed his machete at them.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

Ling Bazi said in a cruel, vicious tone, "I don't care who you are. Get the hell out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll grab all of you and sell you too—"

"Didn't you already sell one ten years ago?"

The brown-haired girl replied gently, "Don't you think I look a lot like your biological daughter?"

"You... are Ling Li?"

Hearing that, Ling Bazi instinctively showed a shocked expression! Looking more carefully, this girl really did resemble the daughter he had sold ten years ago! No wonder she knew his old name!

"You recognized me?"

Xinghua curled her lips into a delighted smile. "I never thought that after all these years, that worthless piece of trash who was addicted to gambling and only knew how to vent his anger on his family would become so capable!"

Xinghua's relaxed, cheerful tone made it seem as if she and the man before her truly had nothing more than an ordinary father-daughter relationship. Meanwhile, Ling Bazi's gaze rapidly shifted from shock to greed!

"I heard that after you were sold to your adoptive parents, you still wouldn't behave and even tried to run away!"

With a greedy smile, Ling Bazi said, "Those two have been looking for you, their unfilial daughter! If I send you back to them... do you think I'll get an extra reward?"

"Perhaps... They seem to have money now, after all. They can even afford health supplements!"

Xinghua raised her head toward the sky and murmured softly, "Why is this world so strange? You and those two are all animals who deserve to die... so how come you're all living better and better now?"

"Hahaha! You don't think you can scare me with that nonsense about karma and make me stop capturing you, do you?"

Ling Bazi said disdainfully, "Sorry, but I've never believed in karma. Go grab her for me!"

He casually gave the order as though it were nothing worth mentioning. In his eyes, what difficulty could there be in having ten strong gang members capture a defenseless, frail girl with nothing but a sharp tongue? Thus, he shifted his gaze away from Xinghua and looked once more at the stunned, pitiful father...

"I'm saying, it's about time you gave me an ans—"

Before Ling Bazi could finish, however, he noticed the strange look in the man's eyes. He was staring behind Ling Bazi... as though something unbelievable were happening at his back.

Wasn't it just a few underlings grabbing a girl? What was so unbelievable about that?

That was what Ling Bazi thought, but something still felt wrong! So he turned around... and saw his ten underlings enveloped in a faint purple mist, standing completely still.

"I never thought I'd have a day when I had to deal with street thugs too."

At that moment, the other girl, the one in the mask and bodysuit, spoke lazily. "I can't get motivated at all against opponents this low-class."

Huh? What was going on...

Before Ling Bazi could even finish being shocked, Meng Yue lightly waved her hand... and his ten underlings suddenly began roaring as they fought one another!

All ten had rage blazing in their eyes, as if they regarded each other as mortal enemies! As they brawled, all kinds of curses rang out—"Fuck your mother!" "So you were the one who cuckolded me!" "I treated you so well, and you slept with my brother!"—and more...

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Since every one of them threw punches with all their strength, the ten men trapped in the illusion soon collapsed to the ground one after another, completely motionless. The bizarre scene made Ling Bazi stumble backward again and again!

"N-No... You are..."

As though he had realized something, Ling Bazi's legs went weak with terror! He instinctively tried to run, but then he saw that Xinghua had somehow equipped a set of sharp black mechanical claws on her hands, and she slowly walked toward him...

"Don't come over! Don't come over! Don't—Aaaah!!!"

With a burst of intense pain, Ling Bazi let out a miserable scream. His right arm was ripped apart alive by Xinghua's mechanical claws! Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the white bone beneath could even be faintly seen...

"Now you don't have either hand anymore!"

Pressing her claw against Ling Bazi's shoulder, Xinghua said cheerfully, "Of course, I won't let you die that easily. Later, I'll chop off both your legs too, then cut out your tongue..."

"Enough, hurry up and take him away!"

Meng Yue urged from the side, "Before the Magical Girls show up. Master's plan comes first... You'll have plenty of time to play afterward!"

"Oh, got it."

Hearing Meng Yue say that, Xinghua immediately activated teleportation magic while holding Ling Bazi by the shoulder. After the two disappeared, Bai Yu, who had remained silent the whole time, looked at the man on the ground who was gradually coming back to his senses and said softly, "No one will come looking for you again. Live however you need to from now on."

With that, Bai Yu and Meng Yue vanished from the spot as well. All that remained were the stunned man and ten unconscious thugs lying on the ground...

"Those three... just what are they?"

"Hm?"

At the same time, the purple-haired girl seated upon the Silver Throne suddenly frowned. She moved her gaze away from the enormous Magical Beast before her and looked in a certain direction...

"A special kind of magic... It only appeared briefly, but there's no way I could have sensed it wrong."

Her fingers lightly traced the armrest of her throne as the purple-haired girl murmured, "Monsters again? I wasn't looking for you, yet you came looking for me? Counting the crocodile that died yesterday, this is already the third time this month you've invaded my territory."

Roar!!!

Seeing that the girl in front of it was ignoring it, the enormous rhinoceros Magical Beast lowered its massive horn and charged toward the purple-haired girl—

"Die."

The next second, accompanied by the girl's arrogant voice, the rhinoceros Magical Beast crashed to the ground and lay motionless, instantly losing all signs of life... As though it had truly died from a single word.

"If that's the case, then it's time to meet the rumored Monster Leader."

A Magical Girl Killed Someone in the Street!

In Starry Sky City... three people suddenly appeared out of nowhere on a busy street.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The man and woman in their forties both wore astonished expressions, still unable to figure out what was happening. Just moments ago, they had been chatting with this young man who often came to their home to sell health supplements. Then, the young man had suddenly walked over and pressed his hands onto their shoulders, and... the two of them had inexplicably appeared here!

"Uncle, Auntie..."

At that moment, the young man scratched his head and smiled. "Well then, good luck to you two!"
