Xiaochun's Transformation
The Youyou on the Sky Screen made the same decision as the Youyou below the Sky Screen.
That is to kidnap Fang Ming, making the Magical Girls hesitant to act against him.
What kind of worldline convergence is this...?
But compared to Youyou's petty theft in reality, the Youyou in the Sky Screen is much bolder, daring to kidnap Fang Ming right in front of Xiao Chun.
But upon closer reflection, Youyou and Song Niandong, one human and one rabbit, do indeed have the qualifications to be bold.
First, this is inside Magic Barrier created by Song Niandong. Second, Song Niandong also has Nicole is comparable to Mid-Tier Demon.
Furthermore, Song Niandong has never shown any vines that have appeared in real-life lantern displays.
In reality, the vines could entangle Xiao Qiu before she could activate her Shining Form. In the Sky Screen, Vine Monster that had been nurtured by magic for more than ten days, and their strength might have already surpassed the Middle Rank- level.
Not to mention there's also a Doll Mary.
Based on this calculation, Song Niandong still has at least three Middle Rank 'friends' on her side. As for Xiao Chun, who has not yet activated her Shining Form, and Fang Ming, an ordinary person, she really doesn't need to be too cautious.
If they can turn the tide with such strength, then Youyou and the others don't need to plan anything anymore; they can just surrender.
Even with a huge advantage, they can turn a game into a losing one! This game is unplayable!
"Fang Ming... brother..."
Watching Fang Ming's retreating figure, Xiao Chun was lost in thought again.
This is the Fang Ming brother she likes, who always protects them, takes all the responsibility on his own shoulders, and always shoulders the 'responsibility of Fang Ming adult'.
Xiao Chun liked him for who he was; Xiao Chun liked him from the moment he saved her.
Now, Xiao Chun likes Fang Ming brother even more.
Xiao Chun also knew that Fang Ming, as an ordinary person, had no way to fight against the Magical Girls. She stepped forward to grab Fang Ming and protect him behind her again.
But then Fang Ming said:
"I thought you guys were rehearsing some kind of play, so I didn't interfere, but now I see... Hey you over there, you're alive, right?"
Fang Ming's gaze shifted to the Black Rabbit, Youyou.
Youyou's ears twitched, Fang Ming said, "Oh yeah, I didn't realize you were so calm. You didn't even have a special reaction when I spoke to you."
"Yes, after all, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong before."
"Huh?!"
Xiao Chun looked at Fang Ming in surprise.
Youyou and Song Niandong were looking at him with the same expression.
Fang Ming continued:
"I felt something was off during the summer vacation. Xiao Qiu isn't the kind of mischievous child, and her friends aren't like that either. But during the summer vacation, they often ran around everywhere and sometimes even came home late, which was very strange in itself."
"Summer vacation..."
Xiao Chun took a breath; she hadn't expected Fang Ming to have noticed something was off about them so early on.
Fang Ming continued, "But at the time I didn't think much of it, until... I saw through the surveillance footage that the cat named Nino was opening a can of food and eating it by itself at night--"
Xiao Chun: "..."
Nino!!!]
"Huh?"
Nino, who was eating cat biscuits below, didn't expect Fang Ming to mention him. He looked up blankly and saw that other people were also looking at him.
Especially Youyou, who looked at Nino with disdain:
"... As Magical Creatures, you actually dared to steal canned food at night! Stealing is one thing, but you even got caught! A disgrace!"
"No... huh?" Nino stared blankly at everyone, then looked at Fang Ming and asked, "You... you noticed something was wrong with me back then?"
"I guess so. At the time, I just thought you were pretty smart, but... did you secretly eat some freeze-dried food one day? And mutter to yourself something like, 'These freeze-dried foods are a bit damp,'?"
Nino: "..."
She had cheated on him and even said similar things!
But this isn't Nino's fault; who knew Fang Ming's house had surveillance cameras?!
"Sigh... silly cat."
Youyou sighed again.
She suddenly realized that Nino wasn't like her; she didn't want to be like a stupid cat like Nino!
Nino felt her ears burning under everyone's gaze, but after only a second of thought, she threw the freeze-dried food from her paw into her mouth again, enjoying it while explaining:
"That's all in the past. Now, not only my cousin, but the whole world knows my identity as Magical Creatures. There's no point in dwelling on these things anymore—my freeze-dried food!"
Before Nino could finish speaking, Chen Xiaoxia took the freeze-drying container next to Nino, rolling her eyes at Nino as she said:
"Stop eating! As punishment for your carelessness, all your snacks are confiscated today! And you really should lose weight; look how much weight you've gained lately!"
Chen Xiaoxia said, hands on her hips.
Nino was on the verge of tears. "Xiaoxia, you can't do this! You're abusing animals!! I'm going to report you to the animal protection association!"
The useless cat Nino grabbed Chen Xiaoxia's sleeve and cried.
Seeing this, Song Niandong subconsciously touched her stomach.
I've gained weight recently...
It seems like it's not just Nino.
Above the Sky Screen, Youyou's reaction was exactly the same as Youyou's in real life.
When she heard that Nino had not only stolen canned food but had also been caught by Fang Ming, she slapped her face with her little paw and scolded:
"That stupid cat!"
"Nino is no ordinary cat. She has the wisdom of an adult and special powers. It was precisely because I realized this that I came to Spring City Rock City."
"On one hand, I wanted to find out Nino's identity, and on the other hand, I wanted to protect Xiao Qiu and the others from being deceived by Nino."
"Of course, that was before. After spending time together, I've confirmed that Nino is harmless. But thanks to Nino, I've learned that there are other extraordinary powers in this world."
Fang Ming, having said this, looked at Xiao Chun behind him:
"'Magical Girls'... right? Is that what you 'superhumans' are called?"
"Brother Fang Ming... you... knew all along?"
"I only recently learned that you are 'Magical Girls'. I asked my friend to find most of the city surveillance footage from Rock City Spring City over the past six months, and pieced together your figures from the clues, which is why I guessed that you are 'Magical Girls'."
"Investigate... investigate the surveillance footage?!" Xiao Chun exclaimed in shock.
Fang Ming turned to Xiao Chun, gave her a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already asked my friend to delete all the surveillance footage related to you. I guarantee no one will notice your existence."
"!!"
That's not the point!
No, this is a big problem too!
Brother Fang Ming, you're committing a crime!!
But... why does Fang Ming, who's so dedicated to protecting us, seem so handsome?!
I like it even more!
"You... you really are an amazing human being." Youyou admired Fang Ming for being able to do this.
But no matter what, Fang Ming was just an ordinary person, so Youyou quickly regained her composure and said to Fang Ming:
"Now that you know we exist, the rest of the conversation is simple: will you surrender willingly, or... will we capture you?"
"You should know very well that as an ordinary person, you are no match for us."
"Not necessarily."
"?"
A question mark appeared above Youyou's head.
Fang Ming calmly said to Youyou, "I don't know what you're planning, but I do know that coercing a child into doing something she doesn't want to do is one of the most shameless things in the world."
"I can't just stand by and watch Xiao Chun do something she'll regret, and I certainly can't just stand by and watch Dongdong be dragged into the Abyss by you."
"So--"
Fang Ming casually broke off a table leg that was standing upright next to him. He turned to Xiao Chun and asked:
"Could your extraordinary abilities help me enchant it?"
"Ah?"
"It's about making it more durable."
"..."
Xiao Chun didn't quite understand.
Youyou suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she rolled on the ground. She pointed at Fang Ming and said:
"You... hahaha, you think... you can defeat us with this little broken stick? Hahaha, that's hilarious! I thought you were pretty smart, but I never expected you to be so stupid... hahaha!"
Youyou let out a hearty laugh.
But in the end, it wasn't Fang Ming who got angry, but Xiao Chun instead:
"You're not allowed to talk about Brother Fang Ming like that!"
Youyou's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at Xiao Chun in confusion, only to see Xiao Chun raise her right hand and coldly say to Youyou:
"I believe in Brother Fang Ming, and I believe in myself even more. I will definitely protect him!"
"Xiao Chun, I originally thought you would be on my side, after all... if you want, I can let you and your brother Fang Ming stay together forever."
"I... I want to do that, but I absolutely will not... I absolutely will not do it in a way that hurts Brother Fang Ming!"
Xiao Chun said earnestly.
Perhaps Youyou is right. As long as we stand on Youyou's side, whether it's a feigned compromise or a complete betrayal, Xiao Chun can better protect Fang Ming.
But at this moment, Xiao Chun was unwilling to do so.
She didn't want to disappoint Fang Ming, nor did she want Fang Ming to misunderstand her choice.
She was too stupid; perhaps she shouldn't have agreed to Youyou's request in the first place.
She's simply not suited to be an undercover agent.
"Sigh, I was going to give you another chance... Never mind, Dongdong, let's just drag them into their sweet dreams... Dongdong?"
Just as Youyou was about to urge Song Niandong to make a move, she saw Song Niandong standing still, not summoning his Magical Armament.
The small area suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Song Niandong.
Under everyone's gaze, Song Niandong raised her head and asked Fang Ming:
"Fang Ming... brother..."
"Dongdong."
Fang Ming responded calmly to Song Niandong.
Song Niandong finally raised her head, her eyes finally peeking out from under the wide brim of her hat. Her purple eyes, the same color as her hair, met Fang Ming's gaze. Her eyes held expectation and anticipation Fang Ming asked him:
"Brother Fang Ming, come with us... let's create a world where everyone is happy!"
Song Niandong spoke, she extended her right hand to Fang Ming.
Chapter 148 Xiao Chun's Transformation
This world is imperfect.
Song Niandong realized this after meeting Youyou.
It is precisely because the world is imperfect that Song Niandong is all alone, has lost everything, and has ended up in this situation.
But it's okay.
Youyou had told her, promised her, that with her power, with Youyou's power, they could transform this imperfect world into the perfect world they envisioned.
