Lose Yourself in a Dream, or Face Reality?

Xiao Chun explained at an extremely fast pace:

"... I don't know what happened either, but... the Demons suddenly found us... They've blocked magic, so I can't use magic to Telepathy with you telepathically, I can only call you. Luckily... they seem to look down on human technology, so... ah!!!"

As Xiao Chun finished speaking, a Pain scream replaced Xiao Chun words.

She seemed to have been hit by something, and she flew out of the air. Xiaoxia could even hear the sound of the wind rushing past her.

Then the communication was interrupted, and a busy tone came from the phone.

The last sound from the other end of the phone left Chen Xiaoxia's mind blank.

She hoped Xiao Chun was joking with her, but... Xiao Bai aside Xiaobai for now, how could someone as composed as Xiao Chun possibly joke with her like that?

Was he saying this to unlock her Shining Form?

But the panic in her words didn't betray any sign of acting... And even if that were the case, she should at least tell Chen Xiaoxia and the others where they were!

Xiao Chun failed to inform Chen Xiaoxia of the location in time, Xiao Bai didn't want Chen Xiaoxia to go and cause trouble. This doesn't seem fake at all.

Xiaoxia's mind was in complete chaos. She clutched her head, not knowing what to do, when just then, an extremely powerful surge of magical energy came from outside the window.

The pink magic soared into the sky, painting the sky a cherry blossom pink.

Chen Xiaoxia recognized it at a glance; that magical energy belonged to Xiao Qiu.

This is what Xiao Qiu looks like when she activates her Shining Form!

Xiao Qiu and the others are in that direction!

"Damn it! You better be lying to me! Otherwise... otherwise..."

Chen Xiaoxia said a few words, but couldn't make sense of it. Finally, she gritted her teeth, instantly transformed into Magical Girls, and became a blue shooting star, flying towards the area shrouded in pink magic.

Chen Xiaoxia also knew that if something unexpected really happened, even Yu Muqiu and Xiao Bai couldn't handle the situation, so if she went up there, she would only be delivering food.

Even so, Chen Xiaoxia still went to fight alongside her friend!

She didn't want to stay in the safe rear alone and do nothing.

At least... she wanted to fight to the very last moment with her friends!

"... pain."

Xiao Chun rubbed the red spot on her forehead, looking at Xiao Bai with teary eyes.

Xiao Bai withdrew his hand, speechless:

"Your acting is subpar. Go back and retake the course!"

"Huh? I think I acted pretty well just now, Xiaoxia believed me."

"That idiot was probably too worried about you guys to notice anything amiss. If it were me, I would have immediately guessed that you were putting on an act."

Xiao Bai said confidently.

This is the confidence that comes with her Level 2 acting skills!

"I haven't studied acting, so don't be so demanding. Besides... at least I managed to fool Xiaoxia into coming here, didn't I?"

Xiao Chun looked into the distance.

Because of the aura that Xiao Qiu unleashed, Xiao Chun could see blue lights rushing towards them in the distance. It should take less than a minute for them to arrive.

"Then get ready."

As Xiao Bai spoke, he gestured with his eyes to Song Niandong, who was standing next to him, to summon 'friends'.

Then he changed his Magical Armament, turning his clothes into armor and putting on a helmet that looked like that of a villain.

The chains transformed into whips, wrapping around her limbs. In the blink of an eye, she went from Magical Girls to an evil Demons.

At the same time, Magic Barrier was erected, completely enveloping everyone.

Song Niandong has also summoned three Magical Girls figurines and brought them to life, while simultaneously disguising them as if they had been defeated.

These three Magical Girls figures only have the most basic magical reactions because they are not infused with much magic power; they have no combat ability whatsoever.

But it's enough to fool Chen Xiaoxia.

Now, the stage is set, and the actors are about to take the stage.

The grand show begins!

Chapter 127 Indulging in Dreams, or Accepting Reality?

Worried about Xiao Chun and the others, Xiaoxia arrived at the place where Xiao Qiu unleashed her magic at almost her fastest speed.

This is the secret base of the Magical Girls, located in the woods outside the city.

Here, Chen Xiaoxia encountered what appeared to be Nightmare Barrier set up by Demons.

The reason it was described as 'suspected' was because she felt that something about this Nightmare Barrier was different, but Chen Xiaoxia didn't think too much about it. Overwhelmed with worry for her companions, she didn't have time to think further and directly entered the barrier in front of her.

But as soon as she entered the barrier, she witnessed a scene that infuriated her.

Xiao Qiu, who had activated her Shining Form, was held in the hand of a woman wearing a mask who looked like Demons.

She grabbed Xiao Qiu by the neck and lifted her high up.

Xiao Qiu herself had fainted, her eyes closed, and her fate was unknown.

"Xiao Qiu!!!!"

Seeing Xiao Qiu being treated like this, Chen Xiaoxia was unusually angry.

Her anger surged, scattering all reason and composure, and she charged at the woman almost without thinking.

"You bastard--!! Let go of Xiao Qiu right now!!!"

Chen Xiaoxia swung her greatsword, the blue blade whistling through the air as she slashed down at the mysterious Demons!

Chen Xiaoxia's giant sword came with overwhelming force. Fueled by her anger, the sword strike was incredibly fast and powerful; if it landed, it could probably cleave a person in two.

However, when faced with Chen Xiaoxia's giant sword, the mysterious Demons simply raised a finger and touched it.

Clang--

The mysterious Demons remained motionless, her fingers pressing against Chen Xiaoxia's giant sword, dissipating all the force. The remaining impact swept across the ground, blowing away all dust and debris, and causing the Demons's clothes to flutter loudly.

"Hehehe, another one? But compared to this one, you're too weak."

The mysterious Demons blocked Chen Xiaoxia's attack with one hand, shook Xiao Qiu's hand with the other, and then asked Chen Xiaoxia:

"You want her? Then you can have her back."

After saying that, the Demons swung his right hand forcefully, throwing Yu Muqiu, who was in his right hand, at Chen Xiaoxia!

"Xiao Qiu!"

Bang!!

Chen Xiaoxia instinctively tried to catch Xiao Qiu, but when Xiao Qiu landed in her arms, Chen Xiaoxia felt as if she were holding a Speed Demon moving cannonball.

The cannonball, carrying a powerful impact, sent Chen Xiaoxia flying. The two of them flew away at high speed, crashing into a mountain peak within the distant barrier!

Boom!!

The mountain shook, Chen Xiaoxia, holding Xiao Qiu, was embedded in a pit in the middle of the mountain.

In just a moment, and without even being attacked by the enemy, Chen Xiaoxia was in this state, which shows just how strong the enemy was!

But Chen Xiaoxia paid no attention to any of that. Despite her severe back injury, she immediately looked at Yu Muqiu in her arms:

"Cough cough... Xiao Qiu, are you alright?! Xiao Qiu!!"

But Xiao Qiu didn't move at all; she just closed her eyes and fell into the deepest dream. If it weren't for her breathing and the rise and fall of her chest, Chen Xiaoxia would have really worried that she might have already...

"Hehehe, don't bother."

The mysterious Demons suddenly appeared in front of Xiaoxia. She was so fast that Chen Xiaoxia couldn't even detect her movements.

He appeared suddenly in front of Chen Xiaoxia, as if he had teleported.

The Demons appeared before Chen Xiaoxia said, "She has fallen into the dream we created and become our Magic Source. She can never wake up."

"Wh... what?!"

"You're the same. Although... your magic is far inferior to your companions', it's... better than nothing."

After the mysterious Demons finished speaking, she flashed back to Chen Xiaoxia's side, grabbed Chen Xiaoxia's forehead with one hand, and slammed her against the wall, whispering:

"--Go to sleep."

"!!!!"

An unknown spell was activated instantly, and Chen Xiaoxia felt a wave of dizziness. The next second, her head tilted to the side, and she drifted into her beautiful dream.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoxia was fast asleep, the mysterious Demons released his grip, gently embraced Chen Xiaoxia, and placed her on the ground.

After she finished doing all this, a green, vine-like Demons appeared beside her:

"Phase one complete?"

"Done..." The mysterious Demons was about to answer when he turned around and was startled by the green blob beside him, "...What's with that outfit?!"

"Huh? Weren't you supposed to dress up as Demons? Doesn't it look like one?"

The green Demons circled in front of the mysterious Demons, and before she could finish speaking, another 'Demons' that looked like Pink Slime come to life also appeared in front of the mysterious Demons.

How long is Xiaoxia going to sleep?

"..."

Upon seeing the 'Pink Slime' and the 'green tree spirit', the mysterious Demons slapped his face in disbelief.

"You're just taking advantage of this idiot because he can't see through it!"

Although the Demons are strangely shaped, they still retain some human characteristics and give off a repulsive feeling.

This feeling likely arises from the conflict between the Heart of Emotion and the Nightmare Seed.

The two Demons beside him, one pink and one green, looked at first glance like members of a masquerade ball.

There's absolutely no deterrent effect!

This Pink Slime, in particular, looks quite cute!

Are you here to be Demons or comedians?!

However, considering that some blue idiot probably wouldn't notice, and that the mysterious Demons was too lazy to bother with such details.

We're not professional actors, so as long as we can fool Chen Xiaoxia, there's no need to be so particular.

Taking a slow, inhaling breath and then a slow, exhaling breath to calm himself down, the mysterious Demons then addressed the other two:

"She'll probably sleep for about ten minutes. If she still can't realize it's a dream after ten minutes, I'll go in and wake her up. You guys be prepared too."

"Always be prepared!"

The Vine Demon laughed and took out a large, life-size Xiao Bai figurine from behind her. The figurine was tightly wrapped in her vines, highlighting her figure and looking quite... erotic.

The Pink Slime on the other side was much simpler; she simply bound the 'Xiao Chun' figure in her hand with a simple pink chain.

Observing the differences between the two figures, the mysterious Demons's gaze turned to the green Demons with a sinister look:

"... Have you been reading any comics you shouldn't have lately?"

"..." The Vine Demon looked away, moved the life-size figure in its hand behind its back to hide it, and then whispered, "... No, there isn't."

"?"

Do you dare look me in the eye when you speak?!

The mysterious Demons squinted, about to continue speaking, when suddenly a surge of powerful and turbulent magical energy erupted from Chen Xiaoxia beside him!

Boom!!

The magic surged, but it didn't awaken Chen Xiaoxia's Shining Form; it merely released a vast amount of magic.

At the same time, Chen Xiaoxia's angry roar also rang out:

"No way!! You're trying to fool me with such a lame trick!!!!"

"!?"

No?! You were practically embracing the dream world from the Sky Screen, how could you wake up from the dream so quickly?!
