Xiaobai's Backup Plan

Chen Xiaoxia watched Youyou fly backwards, lost in thought.

But the next instant she knew she hadn't hit Youyou, because she saw Youyou's body shatter like a mirror.

The scattered fragments transformed into pure magic, eventually becoming fragments of a ceramic doll.

The Youyou here isn't real; it's just a fake!

That's true. If Youyou weren't a fake, Chen Xiaoxia probably wouldn't have had to take action right now. As for why Dongdong, who controls Nicole, cares so much about this fake Youyou, it's probably out of his instinct to protect his companions.

"Damn it, that slippery, dead rabbit!"

Chen Xiaoxia complained after missing her first shot.

But just as she was complaining, countless vines burst forth from the ground.

They shattered the asphalt road on the ground, and rose up from the ground like earth dragons. The vines, so thick that two people could not hug them, flew towards Chen Xiaoxia in the sky.

It's Vine Demon!

Or rather, Vine Monster!

Song Niandong 'friended' the bonsai and nurtured it with magic over a long period of time, creating Vine Monster with at least Middle Rank strength!

Moreover, judging from the current size and power of the vines, it is clear that it is much stronger than when it dealt with Xiao Chun!

"Waaaaah!"

Chen Xiaoxia let out a strange cry, dodging left and right in the air while cutting the attacking vines.

However, there were too many vines, and their Resurrection speed was extremely fast. Often, as soon as two vines were cut down on one side, even more vines would grow out on the other side and attack Chen Xiaoxia.

Chen Xiaoxia had no choice but to fight and retreat, while simultaneously turning to Xiao Qiu for help:

"Xiao Qiu! Find a way to locate their true forms! Otherwise, we'll just be on the defensive!"

"..."

Yu Muqiu did not respond to Chen Xiaoxia's words, but she was indeed looking for a breakthrough.

Her gaze searched left and right, finally landing on Xiao Bai, who was part of the Magic Source.

"Xiao Bai! Wake up!!" Yu Muqiu rushed towards Xiao Bai, trying to wake it up.

Given Xiao Bai's combat strength, as long as they can wake Xiao Bai up, the scales of victory will tip in their favor!

However, when Yu Muqiu flew towards Xiao Bai and passed through the factory gate...

Her figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the factory, further away from Xiao Bai.

"!?"

The scene before him suddenly changed, and the distance between him and Xiao Bai increased. When Yu Muqiu looked at Nicole again, he found her standing right in front of Xiao Bai, staring at him without moving.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoxia in the sky immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"It's Three-Dimensional Sphere!"

"Ah?"

Yu Muqiu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Xiaoxia.

"It was that Three-Dimensional Sphere that trapped me and that guy in school! Within its confines, there's no way you can escape!"

After that incident, Chen Xiaoxia also did a lot of research on this topic and learned what Yu Muqiu had gone through.

Simply knowing this is useless.

They must find the freak who created this seemingly infinite space!

"Xiao Qiu... Sister..."

As Chen Xiaoxia and Yu Muqiu were talking, Nicole's voice came from ahead.

Song Niandong, using the Nicole persona, addressed Yu Muqiu as "older sister" for the first time, causing Yu Muqiu to be slightly taken aback.

"Dongdong..."

"Sister Xiao Qiu, give up." Nicole said to Yu Muqiu, "What we... are doing is for this world, to make everyone... happier! So... don't stop us, okay? I... don't want to hurt you."

Nicole spoke softly to Yu Muqiu.

Deep within her heart, Song Niandong, who was controlling her, conveyed his thoughts to Yu Muqiu through Nicole's body and voice.

During the time she spent with Yu Muqiu, Song Niandong had come to acknowledge Yu Muqiu and the others as her friends.

They even genuinely treated them like family.

Yu Muqiu and the others hold different positions in Song Niandong's heart, so she is unwilling to truly hurt Yu Muqiu.

As long as Yu Muqiu is willing to let go and stop, Song Niandong will definitely not continue to attack them.

But...

If Yu Muqiu were to give up now, stop trying to pull Song Niandong back from the Abyss, then she wouldn't be Yu Muqiu.

It was precisely because of his unwavering belief and his conviction that he was doing the right thing that Yu Muqiu stood here, opposite Song Niandong.

"Dongdong, you're a good child." Yu Muqiu took a deep breath and said softly to Song Niandong:

"But it's precisely because you're a good child that we don't want you to make mistakes, and we don't want you to regret what you've done in the future!"

"I... won't regret it..." Song Niandong retorted in a low voice.

Yu Muqiu's voice rose a few decibels. "Are you really not going to regret this, Dongdong!"

"You should understand by now! Pulling everything into a dream, creating so-called happiness in the dream, that's not 'happiness' at all. It's just an 'escape' to avoid facing the danger in front of you and the real reality!"

"This is just running away, Dongdong!"

"!"

Yu Muqiu's desperate shouts made Nicole instinctively take a step back.

Her retreat testified to the inner turmoil she felt.

In contrast to her retreating, Yu Muqiu took another step forward and said to Nicole:

"Stop running away, Dongdong! Even if reality isn't beautiful, even if it's Pain, it's still reality! Me, Brother Fang Ming, and everyone else... aren't we all working hard for your happiness? So, Dongdong, come with us..."

Yu Muqiu reached out his hand to Nicole.

But at this moment, discordant voices emerged again:

"Don't waver, Dongdong."

Black Rabbit's mirror image appeared in the distance, standing beside the sleeping Xiao Bai, and she said:

"No matter how sweet her words were, she was ultimately no match for the more powerful Demons. I witnessed it with my own eyes... the Destruction of my hometown, the fall of countless Magical Girls."

"They... are simply not beings that you novice Magical Girls can handle! The only way to prevent this world from falling into crisis is to isolate the entire world! Using the Nightmare Seed originates from the same source as them!"

"That's right, Dongdong, what we're doing is correct, we're on the right path! So Dongdong, don't waver!"

"Nonsense!!!" Chen Xiaoxia severed several more vines, and a giant sword phantom materialized around her, which she launched towards Youyou.

Several giant sword phantoms were planted where Youyou had originally stood, like the tail feathers of a peacock spreading its tail.

Youyou's body shattered, and Chen Xiaoxia's angry shout followed:

"We haven't even fought, we've never even met! What makes you think we can't beat us, you stupid rabbit! Don't you dare corrupt Dongdong anymore! You stinky rabbit, you bad rabbit!!"

(Dead rabbit, stinky rabbit, bad rabbit www)

(Xiaoxia is also a naming expert, it's hilarious!)

(Whether it's right or wrong, who can really say? Youyou might genuinely believe it's right, but... for our world, her actions... certainly won't be acceptable to everyone.)

(I don't think there's anything wrong with the dream world... but the problem is, if everyone enters a dream world, what happens to human reproduction?)

(Perhaps Youyou has her own way?)

(I can't accept being in a dream all the time...)

Whether Youyou's actions were right or wrong is now impossible to know.

Because in reality she has already given up her ideas and plans, and in the Sky Screen, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will ultimately be stopped by the Magical Girls.

Perhaps, Youyou's actions could indeed deter the Demons from paying attention.

But if you tie yourself up completely and throw yourself into a black box that no one can see, will everything really be fine?

That's probably not the case.

Upon seeing this, Fang Ming couldn't help but ask Lyla:

"What do the Magical Creatures that made a contract with you think of Youyou's actions?"

"Hmm?" Lyla hadn't expected Fang Ming to ask her that question. She paused for a few seconds, as if communicating with her contracted Magical Creatures, before speaking to Fang Ming:

"The idea is good, but unfortunately it only exists in theory... Well, that's what Little K said."

"Little K?"

"It's my companion's nickname. She didn't want to tell me her real name, so I called her K."

Lyla explained casually.

Little K?

Not Lien?

So... there's more than one Magical Creatures in the Americas District?

Fang Ming was somewhat surprised by the unfamiliar name, but not particularly odd.

After all, once there's one, there's bound to be two, and no one stipulates that there can only be one Magical Creatures in the Americas District.

Fang Ming didn't pay much attention to the name of Lyla's companion. After thinking for a moment, he asked curiously:

"'Only exists in theory'... So, does that mean Little K doesn't approve of Youyou's approach?"

"Seriously, uncle, you ask so many questions. Can't you wait until you've finished watching the anime before asking?"

Lyla rolled her eyes, but despite her impatience, Lyla still explained to Fang Ming:

"'Using Nightmare as a shell to cover the world is indeed a good idea, but... that was a method before the Demon King was born. After the Demon King was born, it's uncertain whether this method will succeed...' That's what Little K said."

Before the birth of the Demon King, the Demons were essentially a disorganized group, each fighting their own battles.

Even under the pressure of Magical Girls and Magical Creatures, they would fight each other for territory.

In this situation, it's unlikely that the Demons would go to worlds already covered by Nightmare.

Because these worlds are worthless and offer no way to improve oneself, the Demons will abandon them.

However, after the Demon King was born, he united all the Demons together, and they would carefully investigate both the territories they had already occupied and the territories they had not yet occupied.

In this situation, Youyou's so-called 'safety' will only exist in her ideal world.

And this is even a conservative way of putting it, out of consideration for Youyou's feelings.

In reality, this is a stupid approach.

That's roughly what Little K meant.

Based on that, Little K knows significantly more than Youyou, so her grades should be higher than Youyou's?

Hmm, is she one of the top ten students at Nino's Magic Academy?

Fang Ming pondered Little K's identity.

Lyla ignored the annoying old man who was interrupting her anime viewing, and continued to look up at the Sky Screen with potato chips in one hand and a can of soda in the other.

Chapter 169 Xiao Bai's Backup Plan

Who ultimately defines right and wrong?

Yu Muqiu was unaware of this, but she could understand that what Youyou did was definitely not 'correct'.

"Dongdong--!"

Yu Muqiu wanted to continue persuading Song Niandong, but influenced by Youyou, Song Niandong did not continue listening.

She controlled Nicole, waving her wand, and countless Sweet Dream Bubbles floated towards Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia.

Nicole's Sweet Dream Bubbles are a special ability that allows people to forget their troubles and enjoy a rare and beautiful dream. Originally, they were meant to drive away nightmares and soothe hearts terrified by them.

However, at this moment, it has become a weapon in Song Niandong's hands, used to hypnotize others and put them to sleep.
