Chapter 411
Xiao Bai's voice rang in Yu Muqiu's ear, her tone gentle. "Xiao Qiu, you should know very well what the consequences would be if the Blood Demon got away... So, I have to take action. No one else can stop her except me."
"But your body—!"
"I'm fine," Xiao Bai interrupted Xiao Qiu, comforting her, "I'll be alright, and Xiaoxia's situation is much worse than mine... Go check on Xiaoxia, I'll be fine."
Xiao Bai emphasized twice that he would be fine.
Perhaps because Xiao Bai's voice was calm, Yu Muqiu, though worried about Xiao Bai, temporarily put his mind at ease, turned around, and went back to visit the unconscious Chen Xiaoxia.
Pink streaks of light flashed across the sea.
The Magical Girls reunite.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 444 Leaving the Space for Them
Xiaoxia seems to be fine.
Although the initial fall was terrible, Xiao Chun's treatment has at least brought her out of danger.
It seems that this move is indeed as she said; it won't cause irreversible damage to herself. Even if it's a self-destruction Threefold Enhancement, it can at least guarantee her own safety.
Xiaoxia was clearly not fit to be taken to the hospital, and Xiao Chun had already treated all her physical injuries. Even if she went to the hospital, she would only be lying down and receiving intravenous fluids.
The real problem lies in the chaotic state of the magic within Xiaoxia's body.
In the end, in order for Yu Muqiu to completely eliminate the Blood Demon, Chen Xiaoxia transferred all her remaining magic power to Yu Muqiu.
However, she herself was invaded by the magic generated by her self-destruction, mixed with negative emotions. Although it had not yet reached the level of Erosive Power, it had become quite dangerous.
She needs time to recover from her injury.
So the group returned to the island camp.
The Magical Girls prepared a room for Chen Xiaoxia alone. Xiao Chun was in charge of looking after her, while Xiao Bai and Xiao Qiu stood beside Xiaoxia, speechless.
Yu Muqiu glanced at the silver-haired girl beside him from time to time. She seemed to want to say something several times, but then stopped and kept quiet. It was unclear what she wanted to say.
Xiao Bai saw Yu Muqiu's reaction, but she didn't say anything either. As she left, she gently patted Xiao Qiu's shoulder and then turned to leave.
Yu Muqiu stared blankly at Xiao Bai's departing figure.
Not long after Xiao Bai left, Stella followed behind Xiao Bai. She lowered her voice and spoke to Xiao Bai almost in a scolding tone:
"Are you crazy?! Do you know what the consequences will be for your actions today?! You know perfectly well—"
"Are you just going to let the Blood Demon get away?"
Xiao Bai simply replied to Stella calmly.
Stella froze, her eyes seeming to tremble. After a long while, she exhaled, closed her eyes, and slowly opened them again, saying to Xiao Bai:
"... You don't have much time left."
"I know."
"If anything happens to you, I won't listen to anyone, and I won't care about you. Don't even think about me asking my older sister to save you—it's impossible!"
Stella said through gritted teeth, her eyes slightly red as she spoke.
Clearly, during the time she spent with Xiao Bai, she had become Xiao Bai's friend; at the very least, she was concerned about Xiao Bai's health.
Xiao Bai laughed upon hearing this. She turned to face Stella and smiled.
"That's enough. At least because of me, you've come to like these Magical Girls to some extent, haven't you?"
"..."
"They're good kids, right?"
"... Um."
"I'm relieved that you nodded."
Xiao Bai said earnestly.
Stella retorted angrily, "Don't give me that 'entrusting my children to someone' rhetoric! Have you even considered what will happen to these Magical Girls if you're gone?!"
"They have to grow up eventually... Alright, Stella, let's not talk about things that are already destined." Xiao Bai looked up at the clear sky, feeling a little dizzy for a moment. She asked Stella:
"You know my body best. How much longer can I hold on?"
"It might last a long time, or something unexpected might happen tomorrow... I don't know anymore, damn it... I haven't heard from my older sister yet, what on earth is she doing...!"
Stella held her forehead with one hand, her face filled with anxiety.
There has been no word from Lesos so far, Stella is somewhat worried about her safety.
More importantly, Lesos didn't respond to her, and with Stella's limited knowledge and energy, it would be difficult for her to find a way to save Xiao Bai.
Stella is a very pure person. Xiao Bai treats her well, she will treat Xiao Bai well in return. If Xiao Bai truly considers her a close person, Stella will treat Xiao Bai a close person in return.
And now, the person she was close to, the second person besides Lesos who was good to her, is about to leave her.
Stella would certainly feel bad.
But now, she has no way to deal with it.
"As long as we can make it through tomorrow, that'll be fine," Xiao Bai said with a smile.
Stella paused, stunned. "Tomorrow... is it some important day?"
"Yes, it's important... Well, it might not be important to me, but it could be important to some people, so... I can't be absent."
Xiao Bai turned around, looked at the Magical Girls still in the room, and said softly:
"... At least, I hope that in the end, they can look happy and joyful."
Inside the room, Chen Xiaoxia had already woken up, and the Magical Girls hugged her, cheering and crying tears of joy.
This scene was deeply imprinted in Xiao Bai's eyes.
(Waaaaah! No... Xiao Bai...!!)
(Isn't there any other way?!)
(If there had been a way, the Witch would have told Stella long ago, but unfortunately...)
(By the way, is tomorrow some important day? I mean, the 'tomorrow' in the Sky Screen.)
(It's my cousin's birthday! I think Xiao Bai is his younger sister?)
(Not her biological sister www)
(? What's the meaning?)
(Keep scrolling down to find out www)
(Tsk, starting to use riddles again, huh!)
(Sigh, Xiao Bai wants to see Xiao Qiu and the others happy, but if they know what happened to Xiao Bai, how can they be happy?)
(Is it possible that Xiao Bai doesn't intend to let them know about her situation?)
(No! You'd be even sadder to leave alone like this!!!)
"Xiao Bai..."
"Don't look at me with teary eyes... I have no intention of doing anything related to Sky Screen."
Under the Sky Screen, Xiao Bai pushed away Chen Xiaoxia, who was trying to get closer to her, with a hint of disdain, and complained.
What's going on? Xiao Qiu's gone, so now it's your turn, Chen Xiaoxia? Don't think you're really "sister" just because I called you "sister" a couple of times!!
Where is your integrity?!
Where is your backbone?!
Be normal, you idiot!!
Xiao Bai pushed Chen Xiaoxia away in disgust. Xiao Chun couldn't stand it and pulled Chen Xiaoxia away, then hugged Xiao Bai back and said earnestly to Xiaoxia:
"The Sky Screen and reality are two separate things, so don't use that as an excuse to bother Xiao Bai!"
"?" Chen Xiaoxia tilted her head, looking at the two people hugging each other with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, she put her hand on her chin, looked at Xiao Chun with an "I see" expression, and leaned closer, saying:
"Xiao Chun... why are you so excited? Is it because...?"
"!!"
Xiao Chun blushed and stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiaoxia.
Did this idiot actually guess the reason?!
"... Is it because you also want Xiao Bai to call you 'sister'?"
"..."
Okay, I take back what I said earlier. She knew this idiot couldn't possibly be that smart!
Slightly relieved, Xiao Chun replied irritably, "How could that be! I'm not you! Making Xiao Bai call me 'sister' or anything like that..."
Xiao Chun originally intended to refute Chen Xiaoxia's words with righteous indignation.
However, when Xiaochun recalled the sound of Xiao Bai whispering in her ear earlier that day, Xiao Chun couldn't help but drift into a daze.
Her thoughts involuntarily became lightheaded, and her expression became somewhat indescribable.
"Cough!"
Finally, Xiao Bai coughed lightly and nudged Xiao Chun's stomach with his elbow, which brought Xiao Chun back to her senses.
"... Nothing like that... I absolutely don't have that thought!!"
Xiao Chun spoke with righteous indignation.
Chen Xiaoxia looked at Xiao Chun with a speechless expression.
Before you say that, please wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth, okay?
Xiaoxia woke up, apart from not being able to use magic recently, she was almost unharmed.
With the two Upper Demon now defeated and the damaged World Barrier in the sky slowly repairing itself, the Magical Girls are finally able to quiet down and rest for a while.
"Sigh... I didn't expect to encounter Upper Demon so soon..."
In her bedroom at the island camp, Chen Xiaoxia gazed at the gradually closing barrier in the sky and sighed.
Xiao Qiu was peeling an apple for Xiaoxia and said:
"And that last Blood Demon, her Nightmare Seed has escaped to beyond this world; who knows what might happen to her..."
"Um, could she have gone to get reinforcements?"
Xiaoxia was a little worried.
Xiao Qiu sighed, "Yes, I'm worried about that too, so I plan to train a little longer tomorrow."
"Sorry, I went a bit too far at the end, so I won't be able to train with you guys for a while."
Xiaoxia looked apologetic when the topic of training came up.
Yu Muqiu's face fell, and she said in a serious tone, "Yes, you really went too far! Honestly, you're not allowed to use this trick again! Do you know how worried Xiao Chun and I were about you back then!"
"Feel sorry..."
Seeing Xiao Qiu's worried expression with tears in her eyes, Chen Xiaoxia apologized, feeling embarrassed.
But she did not promise Xiao Qiu that she would not use this trick in the future.
No one can be sure whether even more powerful enemies will appear in the future. Although Xiaoxia's move was a move that would kill a thousand enemies but also harm eight hundred of her own, it was indeed a formidable trump card.
If handled properly, it might be possible to eliminate an enemy several times stronger than yourself!
Chen Xiaoxia couldn't possibly avoid using this move; she could only guarantee that she would never use it unless absolutely necessary, and that was the only guarantee she could make.
Seeing that Xiao Qiu seemed to want Chen Xiaoxia to make a vow, Xiaoxia quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, where's Xiao Chun? Little Red doesn't seem to be here either. What did they do?"
In the Magical Girls series from the Americas District, Xiaoxia and Aurora have a very good relationship.
But this time Xiaoxia was injured, Aurora only came over for a quick look, and left after confirming that Xiaoxia was alright.
Xiao Chun, seeing that Xiaoxia had woken up, spoke to Xiaoxia like a doctor, explaining some precautions before leaving the room; no one knows where she went.
