Meeting Again (Bonus Chapter for National Day)

Sometimes Xiao Chun was very curious about how Fang Ming knew so much and possessed so much knowledge. It was precisely because of this curiosity that Xiao Chun became more and more enamored with Fang Ming.

Even disregarding the fact that the other person saved her, Xiao Chun felt that she might still fall in love with him.

Because Fang Ming is truly outstanding, very charming, and Xiao Chun is very attracted to him.

Although... after learning about Xiao Chun's feelings, Fang Ming decisively rejected her.

But the more this was the case, the more Xiao Chun felt that he was the one for her in this life.

Three years?

Xiao Chun did indeed say that Fang Ming should wait for her for three years.

But this doesn't mean that three years later, after Xiao Chun is rejected again, she will give up pursuing Fang Ming.

This is just a deadline for Fang Ming to consider, a deadline that he can accept. During this period, Xiao Chun will not give up her offensive.

She will definitely capture Fang Ming's heart.

Xiao Chun... that's what she thinks.

So--

She needs to see Fang Ming!

She absolutely had to see Fang Ming! To see the person she loved, the person she cared about, the person whose heart would flutter and whose excitement would run wild just from seeing him once!

Can...

We really can't beat them.

In a moment of seemingly frozen time, Xiao Chun looked up at the sky.

The Light Cannon converged and shot towards her. In this brief moment, Xiao Chun felt time stretching out indefinitely, giving her more time to think.

During this time of reflection, Xiao Chun realized that she really couldn't win.

This isn't a matter of technique; it's a difference in magic, a difference in strength. Xiao Bai and Xiao Chun are simply from two different dimensions.

She was no match for Xiao Bai at all!

So... should we give up... just like that?

Give up... this only possible chance to see Brother Fang Ming?

In a daze, Xiao Chun looked ahead and, in the light before her, she seemed to see Fang Ming's phantom.

Are you giving up?

Fang Ming asked Xiao Chun this question.

"... Brother Fang Ming, I... can't beat him..."

"You can beat him." The illusory figure of Fang Ming before Xiao Chun said this with unwavering determination, his pupils reflecting Xiao Chun's image, and he spoke earnestly:

"Think carefully, the way to defeat the Xiao Bai lies in your own mind."

"In my heart...?"

"That's right, don't give up." The phantom image of Fang Ming in front of me seemed to overlap with a scene from the past.

This made Xiao Chun's vision blur a little.

She remembered who Fang Ming was.

This is the Fang Ming on the Sky Screen, the one who once appeared in Xiao Qiu's memories!

Don't give up... Don't give up!

Once you give up, it's all over!

Xiao Qiu understood this point, which is why she became aware of that pattern...

Shining Form!

Fang Ming, who had once advised Xiao Qiu, now looked at her with his usual gentle voice and unchanging tender gaze, offering her the same advice.

--Don't give up.

Once you truly choose to give up, there will be no more opportunities.

"That's right..."

Xiao Chun stood up, a surge of intense emotions welling up within her, as if a brilliant green light had shone brightly in the center of her heart.

"... I haven't been able to... see Fang Ming yet, I... haven't been able to tell him my true feelings! I haven't... truly... made him accept my confession, how can I collapse here!!"

Boom!!!!

An irrational Psychic Power enveloped Xiao Chun's body.

The green light shot straight into the sky, and the burst of air blew away the silver dragon and the robot in the distance.

Within the rising green pillar of light, Xiao Chun's Magical Girls outfit also changed.

Several shimmering green stardust adorned the vine-green silk skirt, transforming the originally plain attire into a tapestry of green vine-like decorations.

These decorations enveloped Xiao Chun's body and skirt, and behind her burst forth a green light like wings!

The weapon in his hand was also more solid and robust; the small Vine Bow was almost twice the size of the previous one, and the branches were covered with fragrant white lilies.

Xiao Chun held the longbow in her hand, her feet not touching the ground, floating in the pillar of light, her whole being exuding an aura of gentleness yet majesty, like a goddess of life.

These auras blew outwards, touching the faces of Xiao Bai and the others, making them feel the immense power of these auras.

This put immense pressure on them.

Without a doubt, this is Xiao Chun's new look!

Magical Girls Shining Form!

Xiao Bai stared at Xiao Chun in surprise, but her gaze quickly turned to relief.

Meanwhile, Youyou, the Black Rabbit in Song Niandong's arms, had an expression as if the sky had fallen:

"Is this reasonable?!"

They played the same game of suddenly turning against each other, played the same game of fighting, but somehow it inexplicably forced Xiao Chun to unleash her Shining Form?!

When did Shining Form become so easy to activate?

Open it just like that!?

Do you think this is food and water?!

Youyou couldn't understand it; she felt that her worldview was on the verge of collapse.

But Xiao Chun, who had already activated her Shining Form, didn't care about any of that.

With a new look and upgraded combat power, Xiao Chun, now firmly in the Middle Ranks, drew her bow and arrow towards Xiao Bai and the others.

"... For my brother Fang Ming...! I must win! I will win!! This arrow—catch it!"

Because it will definitely hurt a lot!

Arrows hovered on the longbow, and Xiao Bai, whose Arrows were aimed at it, vaguely sensed a bit of danger.

She was about to raise her hand, take out the scythe, and test Xiao Chun in her current Shining Form.

But suddenly, they heard Youyou shout loudly:

"Hey!! Stop it! People will die if this continues! And Fang Ming is right here! This guy is lying to you! Wake up!!"

Feeling threatened with death, Youyou, without any backbone, chose to surrender to Xiao Chun!

Xiao Chun: "?"

Xiao Bai:"???"

Chapter Ninety: Meeting Again (Bonus Chapter for National Day)

Xiao Chun was in Shine state, stopped.

She looked at Youyou blankly, then turned to look at Xiao Bai:

"... What did she mean by what she just said?"

Youyou Xiao Chun meant. What did she mean by "Fang Ming is here"? Where was Fang Ming?

"Xiao Bai is -- Waaaaah!"

Just as Youyou was about to say something, Xiao Bai reacted extremely quickly. The instant Youyou opened her mouth, Xiao Bai had already bound Youyou tightly with chains.

The thin chains not only wrapped around Youyou's mouth, but also her rabbit ears!

"..."

Xiao Chun was slightly stunned upon seeing this. She looked up at Xiao Bai again and heard Xiao Bai say:

"Fang Ming is indeed fine. I only said that to trigger your Shining Form, after all..."

Xiao Bai glanced at Dongdong as she spoke, then said to Xiao Chun, "... After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dongdong shouldn't become your enemy, and you're unlikely to activate your Shining Form."

Hearing Xiao Bai say this, Xiao Chun regained her rationality.

She pondered what had just happened and recalled some details from before.

Despite having the ability to easily defeat her, Xiao Bai deliberately provoked her with words.

A robot that, despite being equipped with all sorts of futuristic weapons, insists on fighting with its fists.

And Song Niandong, who had been observing from the sidelines with a completely bewildered expression...

When all these factors are combined, it proves one thing: Xiao Bai did not actually intend to kill Xiao Chun.

Everything that just happened was just a ruse by Xiao Bai.

As her anger subsided, Xiao Chun regained her composure and coldly looked at Xiao Bai, saying:

"... You're such an idiot, is that kind of joke... funny?"

"I told you so you could activate your Shining Form..."

"What does it matter to you whether we activate our Shining Form or not! You're consuming memories to enhance your power, so what right do you have to care about us! You should be more concerned about yourself than us!"

Still seething with anger, Xiao Chun's words became more intense, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

After speaking, Xiao Chun fell silent, and Xiao Bai also stopped talking.

The entire Magic Barrier was now filled only with the Youyou, whimpering sounds of struggle and the occasional whistling of the wind.

Song Niandong hadn't said much from the beginning. Seeing the silence between the two, Song Niandong tugged at the hem of Xiao Bai's trench coat and tilted her head in surprise.

She didn't ask anything because she could tell that Xiao Bai didn't want to reveal her identity to Xiao Chun, so Song Niandong cooperated by not saying anything.

She was simply expressing her doubts appropriately, using this gesture to ask Xiao Bai why she didn't tell Xiao Chun the truth.

Xiao Bai shook her head at Song Niandong, then took Song Niandong's hand and looked up at Xiao Chun, saying:

"If you want to know if Fang Ming is safe, come with me. After all, you made quite a commotion just now, and Xiao Qiu and that idiot will be here soon."

Xiao Chun unleashed her Shining Form light pillar, breaking through the barrier, just as Xiao Qiu's magical light pillar broke through the Songstress Barrier and disappeared into the rain clouds that day.

There was no way Xiao Qiu and the others wouldn't sense such a massive fluctuation of magical energy.

They'll probably arrive here within a minute at the latest.

Xiao Bai doesn't really want to meet Xiao Qiu and the others right now, so she wants to take Xiao Chun, who has already activated her Shining Form, to their secret base before they arrive.

"... I hope you're not playing a prank this time."

Xiao Chun characterized what Xiao Bai had done to her earlier as a 'prank'.

And it was a rather malicious prank.

Although Xiao Bai's actions caused Xiao Chun's Emotion Seed to erupt, and her emotions began to sprout, she began to Shining Form.

But Xiao Chun was very unhappy about the beating she had just received, and they wouldn't even let her see Fang Ming...

In short, understanding is one thing, but accepting it is another.

If Xiao Chun's previous feelings for Xiao Bai were only at an above-average level, then after this incident, her feelings for Xiao Bai Xiao Chun to a low level.

It's not a complete wipeout, but I definitely don't have the same fondness for them as before.

Therefore, the voice sounded a bit cold.

Xiao Bai didn't take it seriously. She withdrew the Magic Barrier and quickly left with Xiao Chun.
