Fox Fox's Arcane Magic Blade

The next day.

The dreaded 8 a.m. class that college students hated most had finally arrived.

Fortunately, the first class was histology and embryology, still one of Su Tianqing's strongest subjects. The little fox decided to welcome the instructor with a grand, blissful nap.

"Zzzzz..."

"..."

The golden fluffball was sleeping soundly, hugging her fox tail like a body pillow. Just looking at it, its softness seemed world-class.

Nan Jiayu forcefully resisted the urge to give it a good pet.

Tianqing slept sprawled across her desk every day during class. How could she still learn so quickly? Was she one of those legendary geniuses?

Looks like I need to work twice as hard!

Casting aside her distractions, the catgirl opened her textbook and listened attentively.

For the first ten minutes, she was utterly focused.

For the next twenty minutes, her mind began to wander.

For the final ten minutes, her brain turned to mush.

It was not until the dismissal bell rang that Nan Jiayu jolted awake from her daze.

Still, it was fine. The material from the last ten minutes was fairly simple; she could take notes and review it during self-study later.

The golden fluffball was still sleeping soundly. After staring at those ears twitching now and then for quite a while, Nan Jiayu unconsciously pulled out her phone and began scrolling through it.

[The streamer has sent you a private message: Magical Girl Fox Fox official]

Ah, it was a private message from Heartmoon Fox.

Nan Jiayu instinctively wanted to open it, but a soft, girlish murmur suddenly sounded beside her, making her turn her head.

"Mm... ngh..."

Perhaps because hugging her tail for too long had grown uncomfortable, the Golden Fox grunted twice, released her tail, found a more comfortable position, and swiftly fell back into deep sleep.

A world-class treasure lay right before her eyes!

Her cat eyes instantly narrowed into slits as she pricked up her ears and warily looked around.

Seeing that everyone nearby was either dozing at their desks or playing on their phones, her cat paws quietly left the tabletop.

Nan Jiayu felt that she was the luckiest catgirl in the world.

Not only had she made a sunny, radiant friend like Su Tianqing, but that friend was also an adorable foxgirl!

But wasn't Heartmoon Fox... also a little fox?

With that thought, the catgirl casually opened the private message from Heartmoon Fox.

It had probably been sent after last night's stream. Unfortunately, she had already been asleep then and only saw it now.

The message was a voice recording.

The catgirl silently put on her earphones, adjusted the volume, and tapped play.

Then, the catgirl's hands abruptly froze, and her tail puffed up in a circle—not from fear or shock, but from a strange, wonderful feeling.

This seemed to be called Arcane Magic Blade?

The audio quality was not very good, and the wind was somewhat loud, yet that soft whisper seeming to speak right beside her ear still fiercely teased her taut nerves.

It was kind of addictive. One more listen.

.

The morning classes ended quickly.

Today was a full day of classes. After eating, Su Tianqing temporarily parted ways with Nan Jiayu and returned to her off-campus rental to rest for a while.

The little fox plunged headfirst onto her bedroom bed and let out a few muffled grunts.

"I slept all day, and I'm so tired."

A muffled mumble came from the pillow.

Sleeping at her desk could not give her body enough rest. Fox Fox awoke aching all over, desperately wanting to lie in bed and sleep her heart out.

What? You were asking why Fox Fox had suddenly become so listless?

You'd be the same with a full day of classes!

"Ah... I still haven't checked today's missions..."

Lifting her little face from the pillow, Su Tianqing glanced at the time on her phone.

Classes started at two in the afternoon and lasted until five-thirty. She probably would not have time to pick a fight with Hyacinth today. Should she just slack off for the whole day?

The full-schedule fox began entertaining thoughts of giving up.

But she was going out with Little Fish tomorrow afternoon, so she would not have much time for missions then either. She should check them after all.

Thinking that, the Golden Fox pulled out the Codex from behind her back and simply lay there on the bed while flipping through it.

[Daily Mission 1: Upload a new video]

[Seeing as you're busy today, I'll give you an easy mission.]

[Reward: 100 Divine Codex Stones]

Huh?

Her fox ears perked up.

Unable to believe today's mission was actually this simple, Su Tianqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

It really was just uploading a new video.

It seemed the Codex also thought she was too busy today to spare time for missions. What an understanding Codex.

But why couldn't it just let her rest for the day? Why did it have to put her through even this much trouble?!

"Whatever!"

Fox Fox swept her big tail and decided not to fuss with this lousy little book.

Since the mission was so easy, she could simply record a brief declaration of war against Hyacinth during tonight's stream, claim the daily reward, and then properly consider what came next—

Before the thought in her mind had finished, the newly updated mission caught the fox's attention.

[Mission: Expansion · First Stage]

[A magical girl must gain the Guardian Star's recognition to transform. Find an opportunity to approach and learn about the candidate.]

[Reward: 200 Divine Codex Stones]

Approach and learn about...

Fox Fox was puzzled. Carefully avoiding her tail, she rolled over on the bed, unable to understand what exactly the Codex meant.

Yesterday, she had selected a fairly suitable candidate—a girl named Hua Ling, Nan Xiaofeng's classmate. If she wanted to approach her, she would inevitably have to get past Hyacinth first.

She couldn't possibly approach her as Su Tianqing!

Besides, if she wanted to develop this girl into a genuine magical girl, having a villain approach her did not sound very reliable either.

After thinking it over from every angle, nothing felt right. Fox Fox simply closed the Codex, shut her eyes, and immediately gave up.

She should just casually take a look with the mindset of completing a mission. Consider it a way to earn those 200 Divine Codex Stones.

Time for a nap!

.

Eleven at night.

The busy full day of classes had finally ended.

After washing up and doing some work such as writing, Magical Girl Heartmoon Fox appeared on the rooftop of an office building in Rongcheng right on time.

Villainous Fox Fox was out here hustling for a living.

After uploading another video challenging Hyacinth to a fight, Su Tianqing happily claimed her 100 Divine Codex Stones.

800 Divine Codex Stones! She could already buy the reusable enhancement potion she had taken a liking to yesterday!

But Su Tianqing did not rush to buy it—after all, Miaomiao's little items would not disappear from the shop page. She could just buy one whenever she needed it, and the Divine Codex Stones she saved might come in handy during an emergency.

Thinking about going out to have fun with her new friend tomorrow filled Su Tianqing with anticipation.

She should quickly finish today's streaming work, then go back and get a good night's sleep!

The camera turned on, and her familiar opening lines slipped from her lips.

"Hello, viewers!~"

"Villain Magical Girl Heartmoon Fox—sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

Watching the chat flood with even more comments than yesterday, along with her rapidly rising follower count, the little fox's mood soared once again.

"Although I'm sorry, Fox Fox has something to tell everyone. Fox Fox might not be able to meet everyone until a little later tomorrow."

"Why? Because Fox Fox, you see..."

The little fox leaned close to the camera, a wicked smile curling her lips.

"Has a super amazing—secret plan!"

"Please look forward to it~"
