Chapter 427

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

So all I can do here is cover my eyes and pretend to be an ostrich.

If he didn't see it, then it doesn't exist!

Fang Ming's figure stood in the darkness.

In a darkness where there was almost nothing, he stood on the water's surface, where only his reflection could be seen.

His body was emitting a silvery glow, which covered his entire body, including his clothes.

He then looked down and saw that the reflection in the water was not of himself, but of a silver-haired, red-eyed girl.

Immediately afterwards, his body sank beneath the waves, little by little... disappearing into the water as if being swallowed up.

A second later, the water burst open, and the naked silver-haired girl leaped into the air.

Silver light gathered around her, covering her body as if dressing her in clothes.

As the clothes formed by the gathering silver light took shape, the light points scattered and exploded, revealing a silver-haired girl in a distinctive black military uniform.

Her expression was indifferent, her body radiating an aloof coldness, and she even retained a trace of Demons aura.

But then, chains and a scythe appeared beside the girl.

The scythe Severing the lingering Demons aura, making the girl no longer appear as an enemy.

The phantom of chains hovered behind her, holding the girl back in this world.

Magical Girl Xiao Bai was born.

(Ah... this transformation isn't as bad as I imagined...)

(After all, Xiao Bai is a very popular character, so of course we have to make him look more impressive www)

(The transformation space has many symbolic meanings. Falling into the water represents entering a path of no return. The scythe Severing off the Demons's demonic energy, signifying that Xiao Bai's magic is no longer related to the Demons. The chains bind Xiao Bai, preventing her from truly falling into the Demons's side...)

(For detailed analysis, please refer to the discussion thread. Who's going to read such a long post? www)

(I want to know if my cousin in real life is doing well? I heard that Xiao Qiu and the others were so embarrassed when they first saw their transformation scene that they almost fainted www)

(Hilarious, I hope the person is alright)

Fang Ming: I am dead, don't contact me, I can't see anything!

The newly arrived Xiao Bai's magic power is far inferior to that of the Speed Demon.

The good news is that, among those at the Lower Rank, the difference in strength resulting from the difference in magical power is not particularly significant.

With her own fighting experience, Xiao Bai quickly found a way to deal with the Speed Demon identifying its strengths.

She first took advantage of the Speed Demon's carelessness and, in a very short time, bound the Speed Demon's body with chains, directly weakening his greatest advantage: speed.

He then used his unique magic 'Severing' to wield his scythe and reaped the Demons's life.

From his very first appearance, Xiao Bai left a very deep impression on the Magical Girls with his swift and decisive actions.

Upon seeing the Magical Girls, Xiao Bai was only surprised that they were Magical Girls, and felt a deep sense of worry.

Yu Muqiu and the others... are actually Magical Girls.

They were doing something so dangerous...

Feeling the surging magic within her, the silver-haired girl said nothing in the end.

Fearing that staying there would expose her identity, she ignored Xiao Qiu and the others' calls and turned to leave.

That was her first encounter with Xiao Qiu.

In the form of Magical Girls.

Becoming Magical Girls didn't have much of an impact on Fang Ming.

The only thing that worried Fang Ming was that the Magical Girls were always doing this dangerous work.

As an elder and the older brother of the group, Fang Ming didn't want them to be in danger. So, after overhearing their true purpose, Fang Ming transformed into Xiao Bai that very day to eliminate the remaining Nightmare Seed in the city.

Then came Xiao Bai and Yu Muqiu's second meeting.

Yu Muqiu asked Xiao Bai to give her the Nightmare Seed, Xiao Bai did not have the means to seal Nightmare Seed, so she returned Nightmare Seed to Yu Muqiu.

But at the same time, Xiao Bai also said to Yu Muqiu:

"Magical Girls is a dangerous job." So you shouldn't do it.

Xiao Bai and Yu Muqiu exchanged glances, and after the other person was stunned, Xiao Bai continued:

"... You're not qualified."

You're not prepared for a real crisis. You're too young to do something so dangerous...

What Xiao Bai really wanted to say was this, but she deliberately used cold language to make Yu Muqiu down because she knew that saying it would cause him to misunderstand.

Yu Muqiu didn't understand why Xiao Bai said that.

Nino, the calico cat standing nearby, retorted indignantly to Xiao Bai's words.

Then... he was grabbed by Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai stared at Nino with icy eyes.

It's because of this guy that the Magical Girls have to do such dangerous things.

Why would this Magical Creatures send a group of children who haven't even entered society yet to do such dangerous work? What is its true purpose?

Unconsciously, Xiao Bai began to think the worst of things, grabbing Nino by the neck and coldly questioning her:

"... What exactly is your purpose in sending a group of children to fight the Demons?"

His words revealed a chilling undercurrent of anger.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 460 Oh no, we've created a giant dad for the Magical Girls!

(So that's what Xiao Bai was thinking back then...)

(Isn't that just being a tsundere? Saying one thing and meaning another!)

(However, if they directly express their concern for Xiao Qiu and the others might actually be able to guess Xiao Bai's true identity.)

(Poor Nino www)

(From Xiao Bai's... no, I mean, cousin's perspective, a random 'alien' creature turned Xiao Qiu and the others into Magical Girls and made them fight... how is that any different from a blond guy who kidnapped his own daughter??)

(Ah... now that you put it that way, it does seem so...)

(Yellow-haired Nino www)

(She is a three-flower)

(Just tell me if you have any blond hair!)

Nino was questioned by Xiao Bai and couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, Yu Muqiu rescued Nino and told her that she had done it voluntarily.

Xiao Bai stared intently at Yu Muqiu, his fists clenching involuntarily, but then relaxing.

Where Yu Muqiu couldn't see, she took a small, deep breath and said coldly to Yu Muqiu:

"This city is my territory, and the Nightmare Seed belongs to me, so... don't let me see you within the Nightmare Barrier again."

Xiao Bai wanted to use cold words and attitude to make Yu Muqiu and the others back down.

But clearly, Yu Muqiu and the others were not going to listen.

So, unsurprisingly, they started fighting while searching for the Nightmare Seed.

Although Chen Xiaoxia was the one who provoked them first, Xiao Bai did indeed intend to make them back down.

So she didn't hold back at all.

Although her total magical power was much less than that of Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia, she still managed to defeat them both thanks to her combat experience.

And in a cold tone, he continued to try to persuade Yu Muqiu and the others to give up on becoming Magical Girls.

But Yu Muqiu did not give up as Xiao Bai had expected.

Despite moments of confusion and hesitation, Yu Muqiu ultimately decided to continue becoming Magical Girls, and in the battle against the Songstress Demon, she awakened her own Shine form.

It was from that moment on that Xiao Bai truly stopped trying to stop Yu Muqiu from becoming Magical Girls.

After Song Niandong appeared, Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun awakened their Shining Form one after another, and Xiao Bai's own will also wavered slightly.

Because she knew that her Magical Girl Form was not of legitimate origin, and she was not qualified to activate her Shining Form, she wanted to temporarily cooperate with Youyou to use the time difference between inside and outside the dream to learn more knowledge and transform it into her own magic.

This was probably the first wrong decision Xiao Bai made.

It was precisely because of this wrong decision that Xiao Bai was forced to absorb the negative power from Song Niandong and was ultimately corrupted by the Demons's magic.

The state of erosion is unpleasant.

Xiao Bai did not immediately transform into Demons; burning knowledge to increase magic power could have slowed down the erosion process.

The corrosive power remains.

If it were only like this, Xiao Bai could have barely held on, and might even have held on for a much longer future.

However, her battle with Avery of the Aurora Society during her journey to the Americas District to find the Magical Girls exacerbated her Erosion Form.

The power of the Erosion Form is indeed very strong, but every time it is used, Xiao Bai slides into the Abyss from which there is no return.

Even because of the existence of the Erosion Form, Xiao Bai was unable to successfully transform back into its original form!

Because she could only slow down the corruption of the Erosive Power by appearing in the form of Magical Girls, her body's instinct, in order to maintain her life, fixed herself in the form of Magical Girls.

From that moment on, Xiao Bai's life officially began its countdown.

Past memories flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

In the pure black space, in the world that appeared during the transformation time, Xiao Bai stood on the water, looking down at her own reflection.

The reflection showed Fang Ming's image; they were looking at each other, as if they had become two separate people, gazing at each other.

Ding-dong.

Water droplets fall onto the ripples of the water.

After a ripple, the figure in the water transformed into the appearance of Xiao Bai.

"Am I... still me...?"

Xiao Bai murmured to himself.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had turned back, and perhaps she would never be able to do so until the day she died.

But none of that matters anymore.

The important question is whether she completed her mission and whether she successfully lured away the Pillar-Tier Demon.

Gazing at her reflection in the water, Xiao Bai sighed softly:

"My mission should be complete, right...?"

At the last moment, she should have indeed drawn the attention of the Pillar-Tier Demon, but as for what the Pillar-Tier Demon wanted her to do, she wasn't quite sure.

So, where is this place?

Turning my head to look around, all I could see was darkness and Void.

"The afterlife? Or..." Xiao Bai murmured to herself, but suddenly she felt something was off.

Ding-dong.

Another drop of water, seemingly from nowhere, fell from the sky and into the water.

The water rippled again, and then the scenery within the water changed.

Xiao Bai... has transformed into Demon Form!

"!!!"

Red skin, deep red markings, horns growing out, black sclera in the eyes, and that unrestrained, arrogant laugh:

"Hahahaha!! That's it!!! I feel even more power!! Let's become stronger together!! 'Me'!!!"

Whoosh--!

A red-skinned arm emerged from the water, precisely grabbing Xiao Bai's wrist and pulling hard, dragging Xiao Bai from above the water into below!

Splash--
