Chapter 356
Xiao Bai explained, feigning composure.
Chen Xiaoxia retorted, "He's not traveling the world! Brother Fang Ming is definitely running away! To escape our pursuit!"
Chen Xiaoxia is still very dissatisfied with the ending of Puella Magi Madoka Magica written by Fang Ming. Whenever she thinks about the ending of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Chen Xiaoxia can't help but have tears well up in her eyes.
In her excitement, Chen Xiaoxia added:
"It'd better not let Fang Ming come back! Otherwise... otherwise I'll definitely give him a good beating! Xiao Chun can't stop me!"
Chen Xiaoxia was furious, clearly deeply hurt by the ending of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".
Xiao Bai could only calmly look away and then look up at the sky.
She stared at the still-playing Sky Screen, her mind racing with rage.
Stop it now!!!
This is only the first episode of season three!! Are you really going to reveal that Fang Ming and Xiao Bai are the same person?!
Give me some time to escape!!!
No, I have to slip away right after this episode ends! Immediately! Now!! Right now!!!
Xiao Bai appeared calm on the surface, but his fists were already clenched tightly.
All the Magical Girls got into the car. Fang Ming adjusted the rearview mirror and looked at the girls sitting in the back.
He didn't notice Xiao Qiu's gaze directed at him, because Xiao Qiu had already looked away before he adjusted the rearview mirror.
He made sure all the Magical Girls were present, including the two Magical Creatures, Nino and Youyou, who were in the arms of their respective 'guardians', before smiling and saying:
"Get ready, we're about to depart."
Their destination was the nearest seaside city to Spring City, about 600 kilometers away.
At a speed of 120 km/h, it would take at least five hours to run.
Moreover, once you reach the beach, you'll need to transfer to a speedboat to head straight to the nearest uninhabited island.
It's a long journey, though it's actually unnecessary, since Magical Girls can fly there.
However, Fang Ming needs to stay in constant contact with the guardians of the Magical Girls to let them know that he is indeed taking the girls on a 'learning trip' and not taking them to do anything else.
"Brother Fang Ming, when we get to the beach, why don't we just fly there? We can take you with us!"
Chen Xiaoxia suddenly Fang Ming from the back row.
She didn't want to spend five hours driving and then several hours on a speedboat.
She couldn't wait to get to the deserted island she had booked for a good sunbathing session.
"No, because we need to communicate with your family once you get on the ship."
Fang Ming gently declined Chen Xiaoxia's suggestion.
Chen Xiaoxia immediately slumped against the back of Xiao Qiu's chair like a wilted eggplant, muttering:
"How could this happen..."
"Just bear with it; it's a form of self-cultivation."
"... I hate this kind of cultivation!" Chen Xiaoxia retorted loudly.
Fang Ming smiled but didn't answer. He simply shifted gears skillfully and started the car, saying:
"Alright, fasten your seatbelts, let's go."
The car started and headed towards the pre-arranged destination.
Fang Ming's gaze was deep as he looked ahead, seemingly focused on driving, but in reality, he was thinking about something else.
What he just said to Chen Xiaoxia wasn't exactly a lie.
But that's not the real reason.
The real reason is that the world has now fully taken notice of the existence of Magical Girls, including the government in the Central Continent District.
Fang Ming didn't think this was a good thing, so he tried his best to prevent the Magical Girls' tracks from being captured by satellites in the sky.
At least inland, Fang Ming didn't want the government to be able to track the Magical Girls' movements via satellite.
Therefore, Fang Ming will not allow the Magical Girls to fly to the island before actually entering the designated location.
The purpose was to prevent the Magical Girls from being discovered and to prevent the Federation from deducing their exact location through their flight paths.
Even after arriving at the pre-booked location, Fang Ming still needed to make some other preparations to completely erase any trace of the Magical Girls.
However, there's no need to discuss these things with the Magical Girls.
They only need to do two things: have fun and train hard.
Fang Ming drove ahead, Magical Girls behind him, after their initial excitement wore off, began to whisper among themselves.
Especially the Magical Girls trio, Xiao Qiu and the others, started a 'private chat' and talked to each other.
Chen Xiaoxia winked at Xiao Chun, then gestured towards Fang Ming with her lip, saying to Xiao Chun:
"Xiao Chun, you'd better work hard! This special training lasts for a whole week! Fang Ming's birthday is in three days, you should have prepared your birthday present by now, right?"
"... Shut up, of course I'm ready!"
Xiao Chun retorted to Chen Xiaoxia, her eyes subconsciously glancing at her backpack, where the birthday gift she had prepared for Fang Ming was kept.
Xiao Qiu smiled and encouraged Xiao Chun:
"Xiao Chun, keep going! I'll be cheering you on!"
Xiao Qiu doesn't understand love, so she can't offer Xiao Chun any advice, but she can support Xiao Chun. This is the only thing Xiao Qiu can do for Xiao Chun in this matter.
"... Thanks..."
Xiao Qiu's encouragement was so pure and innocent, that Xiao Chun couldn't say anything to her.
But the thought of her girlish feelings being exposed made Xiao Chun unable to help but turn around and glare at Chen Xiaoxia.
Chen Xiaoxia tilted her head, a little slow to react, not understanding why Xiao Chun suddenly glared at her. But she suddenly noticed Aurora's gaze in their direction, and in a daze, she understood something. Suddenly, she said:
"Ah! Xiao Chun, now I finally understand why you and Aurora have such a bad relationship!"
"Thank goodness, you idiot, you finally realized it."
Hearing this, Xiao Chun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Xiaoxia.
Chen Xiaoxia and Aurora have gotten along really well these past few days, they're practically sworn sisters!
If Xiao Chun and Aurora really fight over Fang Ming, this idiot probably won't know who to side with.
Now... let's put aside the question of who she'll ultimately help, at least she knows why Xiao Chun and Aurora don't get along.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 386 The Countdown to the Demons's Descent
[But it was precisely because she knew the reason for the conflict between Aurora and Xiao Chun that Chen Xiaoxia seemed to be in a difficult position.]
As Xiao Chun said before, Chen Xiaoxia and Aurora are now practically sworn sisters. On one side is a friend she's known for a long time, and on the other side is a close friend she gets along with. Chen Xiaoxia is caught in the middle and it's really a difficult situation.
Chen Xiaoxia suddenly fell silent, while Yu Muqiu, realizing what was happening, widened his bright eyes again and asked:
"... Little Red also likes Brother Fang Ming??"
"Um..."
Xiao Chun sighed in frustration, turning to look at Fang Ming was driving, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Sometimes, liking someone who is too outstanding isn't a good thing, because... the more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to attract others' admiration!
Xiao Chun only knows of one enemy right now, Aurora. Who knows how many more will appear in the future? Thinking about that unknown future gives Xiao Chun a headache.
(Fang Ming, a man who builds a harem in a Magical Girls anime!)
(Don't be so harsh, my cousin hasn't made a move yet.)
(But tell me, aren't there a lot of people who like him?)
(Xiao Chun, Little Red, Dongdong counts as one, Luna might also... um... so let's just split up our cousins!)
(Divide into four pieces! One piece for each person, no one should take it!)
Xiao Bai:"..."
Open your eyes and look! I didn't agree to anything! It's a bit inappropriate to break up with me so hastily!
Seeing that the topic of discussion in the Sky Screen had shifted to the emotional issues of the Magical Girls, Xiao Bai couldn't help but complain inwardly.
As for the other Magical Girls, they looked at Xiao Chun and Aurora, as well as Song Niandong and Luna, who had been mentioned in the comments.
Aurora crossed her arms and pretended to look at the Sky Screen nonchalantly, seemingly unaware of the gazes of the Magical Girls around her, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her current mood.
Xiao Chun's gaze became even more profound, and a dark aura seemed to emanate from behind her.
She approached Xiao Bai directly, and before Xiao Bai could react, she tucked her arm into her bosom, then proudly puffed out her chest and showed it off to Aurora.
That look was as if to say, "See? I can do this kind of thing. Can you?"
Aurora caught a glimpse of Xiao Chun's appearance out of the corner of her eye. She looked at Xiao Chun's erection, which was definitely abnormally developed compared to her height, and then looked down at her own steel plate, her forehead veins bulging.
That Cow Girl! So filthy!!
Uncle too!
You pervert! You don't even think about getting rid of me!!!
The two girls' gazes met in mid-air, while Yu Muqiu tilted her head, looking strangely at Xiao Chun was clinging to Xiao Bai's arm.
Why did Xiao Chun suddenly hug Xiao Bai?
Why did Xiao Chun and Aurora suddenly lock eyes with each other again?
That's so strange...
Xiao Qiu scratched her head, her twin ponytails bobbing in confusion, not quite understanding the current situation.
Xiao Bai, held in Xiao Chun's arms, remained expressionless.
She ignored the subtle rivalry between the two Magical Girls and simply gazed calmly at the Sky Screen.
She's made up her mind; she's going to run away tonight!
Perfect timing! The Magical Girls auditions I mentioned earlier are finally showing some promise, so I might as well use that as an excuse to slip away.
Anyway... my Shining Form has already been activated.
My mission is complete! There's no need for me to stay here any longer!
Yes, I'm going out alone tonight, this time without anyone else!
The Magical Girls chatted Telepathy inside the car, but they didn't talk for long before stopping and falling asleep during the long journey.
The Magical Girls didn't wake up until they reached their destination. They boarded the pre-selected speedboat and headed straight for the small island in the open sea.
Once they had finally left the Central Continent District area, the Magical Girls got up one by one. Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun created ropes and vines to pull the speedboat into the air, flying towards the island at an extremely fast speed.
Finally, before evening, the group arrived at the island chosen by Xiao Bai.
This is an island with an area of only a few square kilometers. There is little vegetation on the island; it is almost entirely composed of reefs. You can see from one side to the other, making it completely unsuitable for long-term habitation.
However, it's sufficient as a temporary training base.
Upon landing on the island, they used magic to clear a space and then set up their tents.
By the time everyone had settled in, it was already late at night.
The Magical Girls, exhausted from a day's journey, did not immediately begin training; they planned to rest for the night and train the next day.
At night, most of the Magical Girls are resting.
Xiao Bai stood on the rocks near the sea, gazing silently at the distant horizon where the moonlight reflected on the water.
As she was gazing into the distance, she suddenly heard footsteps.
Turning her head, she saw Xiao Qiu standing behind her, her hands behind her back, looking at her shyly.
"Sorry to bother you?"
"It's nothing. It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xiao Bai asked softly.
Xiao Qiu replied, "I have trouble sleeping."
