Magical Girl? There's No Going Back!

Thinking of this, Bing Rui used the instrumental break to discreetly remove the pin from her skirt and viciously stab it into her thigh from behind.

The intense pain temporarily pulled her attention away from the pleasure, allowing her to keep dancing freely.

However, the nightmare had only just begun.

During the brief time she had just regained her focus, the vibration intensity had increased four times in succession.

Although her body's sensitivity soared, Bing Rui's movements were not greatly affected. The pin tip left inside her shifted with her vigorous dancing, tugging at her pain nerves and forcibly keeping her awake.

But worse was yet to come. The little toy dormant inside her suddenly began vibrating without warning—and immediately at its highest frequency!

The double wave of pleasure shot up her spine and straight into her brain, nearly knocking Bing Rui unconscious. But she did not yield. With the help of pain, she continued dancing. Fortunately, the butterfly plug kept the toy from sliding out of her body, which was at least a small blessing amid the misfortune.

Yet she seemed to have overlooked one fact: pain could distract her attention, but it would not diminish the pleasure her body endured in the slightest. Bing Rui's nerves were like a highway. Though she had forcibly inserted a stream of traffic called pain, blocking all the cars labeled "pleasure," those cars would not disappear. They would only pile up, growing more numerous and restless. All it would take was a trigger for an earth-shattering ultimate sensation to erupt.

That opportunity did not take long to arrive. Just as the performance passed its halfway point, the most terrifying suction finally descended.

How could she describe that feeling? Imagine a fleshy trigger somewhere on the body, one that fired bullets called pleasure whenever it was pulled.

Men would probably never understand. They had never possessed such an organ. Its existence served no practical purpose: it could not excrete, reproduce, eat, or digest. It existed for only one simple purpose—to grant its owner supreme bliss. Some traditional beliefs even regarded it as the source of sin and wished to remove it as quickly as possible.

Through the haze of her consciousness, Bing Rui realized that she had somehow collapsed onto the floor. The music had stopped, and Tang Xi, who had been standing backstage, was running toward her with a worried look.

A performance accident!

Those four terrifying words were branded into Bing Rui's mind.

No. She absolutely could not allow herself to fail. Even if she were shattered to pieces, she had to bring the performance to a perfect close!

Bing Rui stubbornly refused Tang Xi's help. Biting her lip, she endured the triple waves of pleasure and told the band to continue playing. The pleasure erupting within her was like a string of firecrackers exploding one after another, but having completely cast caution aside, she endured what would have driven an ordinary person insane and calmly finished the performance.

The willpower of a magical girl was terrifying indeed!

After the curtain call, the vibrations inside Bing Rui finally stopped. She felt as though she had been granted amnesty, then staggered backstage and plunged into the restroom.

Just then, a voice came through her earpiece:

"Miss, I respect your grit. Your persistence moved me, so I've decided not to torment you anymore. Prepare a black trash bag, exchange five hundred thousand into foreign currency, and walk alone to Autumn Mountain Park in Henan District. Put the money behind the trash can near the northeast corner wall. I'll leave the negatives there. From then on, I won't bother you again."

Bing Rui's heart immediately stirred. This matter could be settled with only five hundred thousand? It was undoubtedly a tremendous surprise. Five hundred thousand was no small sum for her, but it was not difficult for her to come up with either. The problem was that the other party's conditions were somewhat hard for her to meet.

"I accept all of your conditions, but can I bring someone with me? Not a police officer or private investigator—just one of my close friends. I won't tell her what I'm going there for. I'll have her wait near the park, and I'll go to the exchange location alone," Bing Rui asked.

"No. You can only come alone. Don't think about playing any tricks," Li Xuan said from the other end of the earpiece.

"No, please believe me. I am absolutely not trying to pull any tricks, and I definitely won't call the police. If you know my whereabouts, then you should know who she is. She's only my assistant. We are always inseparable, and we absolutely cannot be too far apart," Bing Rui said anxiously.

"Can't be too far apart? Are you conjoined twins? Or lovers in the honeymoon phase?" Li Xuan teased.

"Neither, but at least during these days in Flower River City, we absolutely cannot be separated. I can increase the money to one million. That's nearly all my savings. What do you think?"

To avoid being separated from Tang Xi, Bing Rui even offered to increase the ransom herself, which surprised Li Xuan greatly.

"No. How do I know you aren't up to something? The exchange location can be discussed, but you must come alone!" Li Xuan emphasized, threatening her harshly.

"If I can't do it, then I can't do it! If you won't agree to let two people go, I won't give you a single cent!" Bing Rui said, raising her voice slightly.

"Then wait for the photos to appear online," Li Xuan said coldly.

"You ungrateful bastard! Go ahead and expose them, then! I'll call the police too and have you thrown in prison!" Bing Rui angrily tore off her earpiece and threw it into the toilet, then flushed it. She also removed the little toy from her body and tossed it into the trash can.

Li Xuan, who had been speaking from a corner of the venue, fell silent for a while. He then tossed the paired microphone and earpiece into a trash can as well, turned to Tan Xiang beside him, and said, "She's genuinely smart. The conditions I offered were reasonable, and she had even believed them, yet she still held to her principles. As long as she doesn't separate from Tang Xi, it will be hard for us to break them one by one."

"So, Master, she and that careless little assistant are actually magical girls?" Tan Xiang finally realized the truth.

"That's right," Li Xuan nodded.

"So her real body really is a girl? Damn it, that liar! I even donated fifty yuan to her yesterday?!" Tan Xiang plopped down onto the ground, looking as though her world had collapsed.

"Get up. We need to carry out Plan B now," Li Xuan said without changing expression.

Bing Rui stayed in the restroom for a full half hour before calming down. Though she had spoken fiercely, she was actually terrified. For a girl who regarded the stage as her second life, those words had been tantamount to burying her dreams with her own hands. But even so, she had not violated her master's principle that the two of them must travel together.

After making sure no one was around, Bing Rui wiped herself dry, pulled up her pants, and left the restroom.

Then Tang Xi, who had been waiting outside, forcibly dragged her to the hospital.

Bing Rui did not know what kind of martial arts this senior apprentice sister practiced. To have enough stamina for the stage, Bing Rui had done plenty of training and was much stronger than ordinary girls. Yet in the hands of this senior apprentice sister, whose greatest daily entertainment was staring at a computer screen and giggling foolishly, she was as easy to carry off as a baby chick.

After a long series of examinations, the doctor's conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with her body. The reason she had collapsed was merely excessive mental stress.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Tang Xi asked bluntly after they left the hospital.

"No. I was just under a little too much pressure preparing for the performance." Bing Rui used the doctor's explanation as an excuse. She did not want Tang Xi to know the truth. Although this senior apprentice sister temporarily assigned to her by the organization was quite capable and knew a great deal, with her carefree personality, she probably could not understand how important a performance career was to her.

If Tang Xi learned the truth, she would probably report everything to their master, then force Bing Rui to delete her account and leave the internet, devoting herself entirely to being a magical girl, right?

That was something Bing Rui could never accept. Her plan was to play dead once the photos were released, then wait until the attention died down before issuing an apology and quietly resuming her streams. If things became too serious and her account was banned by the platform, she would debut as a VTuber using an avatar. No matter what, it would be better than being cut off completely.

"Then starting today, cancel all your performances. There cannot be any mistakes in the operation to capture Alice," Tang Xi said in a tone that allowed no doubt.

Bing Rui did not dare argue. After all, attending the convention along the way had been her own willful request, and Tang Xi had only agreed after Bing Rui promised that it would not affect the capture plan. If the monastery's major operation was ruined because of her, then being scolded by their master would be the least of her problems.

After returning to their lodging, Bing Rui felt utterly exhausted. The energy she had spent forcing herself to fight against her instincts was almost impossible to measure. Fortunately, Tang Xi allowed her to rest for a day before continuing their plan to capture Alice tomorrow.

As Bing Rui fell asleep amid worry and unease, Li Xuan also fell asleep with his head resting on the lap provided by Madam Lilika.

Although Plan B had long been prepared, Li Xuan still wanted to try speaking with Mian Yin again before carrying it out. After all, the girl he had met in his dreams carried too many secrets. Gathering more information about her could only be beneficial. Choosing Lilika's lap as his pillow was also meant to recreate the scene of meeting Mian Yin, and absolutely not because he coveted the cool thighs of a legal loli.

In a darkness that made him feel safe, Mian Yin appeared.

This time, she seemed much calmer. She opened the window, lightly jumped into the room, picked up the black butterfly-bow hair clip from the floor, placed it in her beautiful golden hair, and then trotted over to Li Xuan.

"Cousin... thank you. They didn't come to catch Mian Yin," Mian Yin said gratefully.

"It's nothing. The magical girls are enemies I need to deal with anyway. But I don't understand—why do you call me Cousin?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"In human terms, Auntie's son... is Mian Yin's cousin... isn't that right?" Mian Yin tilted her head, looking even more confused than Li Xuan.

"All right, it seems you didn't understand my question... Wait, humans? So you're not human?" Li Xuan keenly noticed the oddity in Mian Yin's words.

Mian Yin... Isn't Human? Chapter 69

"Mian Yin... isn't human. Mian Yin doesn't know what she is. Mama didn't say... Sister didn't say either," Mian Yin said, shaking her head.

"You really are mysterious. Then can you take off your eyepatch and let me see your eyes?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"No! It would... scare Cousin. Mian Yin... would blame herself." Mian Yin hurriedly stepped back several paces, seemingly afraid that Li Xuan would forcibly remove her eyepatch.

"Relax, I was only asking casually. Next, I'm planning to completely deal with those two magical girls. Do you have any suggestions?" Li Xuan asked.

"Separate, the two aren't strong. Together... they are strong. Mian Yin wants to hear Cousin's plan first."

Seeing that Li Xuan did not intend to forcefully remove her eyepatch, Mian Yin moved closer again and sat beside him. Her black pantyhose brushed against Li Xuan's leg. Even in the dream, that smooth sensation made him take several deep breaths before suppressing his arousal.

"You're right. I also tried to separate them, but it failed. So I'm planning to strike the next time Bing Rui enters a dream to catch you. According to my observations, that is when they are at their weakest.

"Bing Rui will fall asleep, while Tang Xi will need to keep doing something to help her enter the dream. When someone is concentrating on a task, their mind is at its most vulnerable. I'll use a mental ability to briefly control Tang Xi, then force Bing Rui to drink a special liquid while she cannot resist. Once she falls into confusion, I'll take her down in one stroke."

Li Xuan explained his plan to Mian Yin. He also hoped to hear her thoughts, since the information he possessed was still limited.

"Cousin's... plan is correct. Bing Rui... is completely immune to mental power. Invincible in dreams. So Mian Yin... got chased everywhere by her," Mian Yin said aggrievedly.

"Do you think this plan is feasible? What worries me most is how long Mind Interference will work on Tang Xi and whether there will be enough time to act.

"Of course, there is also Plan C for emergencies. During the brief moment of Mind Interference, Miss Tan Xiang can use flames to separate Tang Xi, and I will immediately take away the sleeping Bing Rui. In short, both plans are essentially surprise night raids."

Li Xuan continued.

"Plan B... works. C... doesn't. Tang Xi will wake Bing Rui immediately," Mian Yin said, shaking her head.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to reconsider it. Perhaps I should wait another day and create more monster helpers before acting," Li Xuan mused.

"Mian Yin... can help Cousin. Mian Yin can make people sleep. As long as no one disturbs them, they will keep sleeping," Mian Yin continued.

"Then we'll act together tonight. But how will I give you a signal then?" Li Xuan asked.

"Mian Yin... is sleepy again. First time talking so much... good night, goodbye..." Mian Yin yawned, then suddenly fell asleep in Li Xuan's arms.

Before the soft sensation could even reach Li Xuan, the dark space disappeared amid a distortion. Li Xuan opened his eyes to see Lilika wearing a helpless expression.

"Hm? I'm awake already?" Li Xuan sat up, somewhat regretful that he had not tested the feel of Mian Yin's pantyhose when she came over.

"If you slept any longer, my legs would have gone numb." Lilika pulled out her legs and stuffed a pillow beneath Li Xuan's head.

"It was time to make preparations." Li Xuan did not linger affectionately with Lilika. This time, he left the room directly, found an open space, and spent the entire night creating monsters until his Evil Energy was exhausted.

By then, it was already broad daylight. Li Xuan temporarily stored the monsters in the Delusive Badlands, then returned to replenish his magic with Tan Xiang. Taking advantage of the post-event drowsiness, he went to sleep with her and did not climb out of bed until nightfall.

Li Xuan's magic power had recovered by then, and he had adjusted himself to peak mental condition. It was time to launch the fatal strike.

Through the Hunting Radar, Li Xuan noticed that Bing Rui, after resting for a day, had entered the dream once more. Tang Xi was still hugging her laptop nearby and continuously muttering something.

Naturally, the two of them would not enter a dream without any defenses. When Li Xuan had attacked the three girls of Clear Lotus City, he had already seen what Sealing Type magical girls could do.

Their combat abilities might not be high, but they could arrange all sorts of barriers. If he attacked rashly, he would probably be discovered immediately. And with defensive barriers in place, it would be difficult to strike directly at the heart of the matter.

Therefore, he decided to bypass those possible barriers and strike at the vital point.

"Delusive Badlands, activate!" Li Xuan opened his personal space, then opened another passage from within the Delusive Badlands to reality. This consumed twice as much mental power, but it also achieved the effect of teleportation.

Li Xuan's caution was not wasted, because Tang Xi had indeed set up barriers—far more than he had imagined. There were thirty-one layers in total, including barriers for detection, defense, automatic counterattacks, magic extraction, monster slowing, and various other functions. Even a Grade A monster could not have broken through all of them without her noticing.

Yet precisely because of that, Tang Xi froze in surprise for several seconds when Li Xuan suddenly appeared before her through a pitch-black portal.

Those crucial few seconds changed her fate forever.

"Mind Interference: Sleep!" Li Xuan immediately activated the skill on her.

Tang Xi's startled eyes gradually closed. After resisting slightly for a few moments, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Mian Yin, are you here?" Li Xuan asked.

There was no response.

Li Xuan knew he had no time to waste. He immediately took out the bottle containing Fallen Blood and prepared to force it down Bing Rui's throat.

However, as he approached the bed, he suddenly felt a pair of hands gripping his ankle.

"An ambush?!" Li Xuan was startled. Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly heard a timid voice.

"I'm here, Cousin. Help pull me out." Mian Yin's voice came from beneath the bed.

Li Xuan lowered his head and discovered that it was Mian Yin's small hands, wrapped in black stockings, that had grabbed him.

"You were actually hiding under their bed? That's way too dangerous!" Li Xuan said as he used a tentacle to lift the bed slightly and dragged Mian Yin out.

"No. Mian Yin's real body is in the dream. What Cousin sees is Mian Yin's projection in reality," Mian Yin said, shaking her head.

"I don't really understand... Anyway, can you make Tang Xi sleep first? Her magic is strong. I'm afraid I can't keep her asleep for long." Li Xuan pointed at Tang Xi, who was already trying to open her eyes.

"All right, let me do it." Mian Yin walked over and placed her small hand on Tang Xi's head. Tang Xi's eyelids struggled a few times before finally closing completely. Her breathing also grew heavy, as though she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"It is done. Please put her on the bed, Cousin. She'll sleep more soundly that way," Mian Yin said.

Li Xuan nodded. He first set Tang Xi's computer aside, then carried her over and laid her down beside Bing Rui. Next, he took out the bottle of Fallen Blood again, but as he brought it close to Bing Rui's mouth, he suddenly paused.

Looking at the sleeping Bing Rui, he suddenly had a bold idea.

I Have a Bold Idea

"Cousin, please hurry. Mian Yin's real body is still asleep in the dream, and Bing Rui could find her at any time," Mian Yin reminded him.

"Mian Yin, I have an interesting idea for punishing these 'bad women.'" Li Xuan put away the bottle of Fallen Blood and revealed an evil smile.

"What idea?"

"Dreams reflect reality, and experiences in reality are also reflected in dreams. Just like how someone who wets the bed dreams of a flood. Am I right?" Li Xuan asked.

"That's right. Cousin knows a little about how dreams work after all." Once in reality, Mian Yin no longer spoke in halting fragments, but as smoothly as an ordinary person.

"Then we don't need to wake her. Let her keep sleeping, while I do some interesting things to her in reality. That way, she won't be able to maintain mental stability in the dream, and she won't be able to catch you. Am I right?" Li Xuan smiled as he looked at Bing Rui, whose body was covered only by four talismans for modesty.

"What a good idea! Mian Yin has wanted to vent her anger for a long time too! Cousin, I'll teach you a method: you only need to tear off the talismans at Tanzhong and Huiyin. That way, her body will wake up while her mind remains trapped in the dream. Her reactions will be more real too," Mian Yin said, clapping her hands.

"There is such a good thing?" Li Xuan remembered that Tanzhong was between the breasts, while Huiyin was between the thighs. He found the talismans at those two locations and gently tore them off. Bing Rui's whole body shuddered, and her limbs immediately stretched out as though she were about to awaken. Yet like a sleepwalker, she did not truly wake.

"Then Cousin, Mian Yin will return to the dream first. I'll tell Bing Rui this good news. Also, you must not disturb Tang Xi. Although she is asleep, she will wake if she is attacked or strongly stimulated," Mian Yin said. Her body gradually faded until she vanished completely.

"Hm? Was that body just an illusion? But it felt real... Never mind. Taking care of business comes first." An evil smile rose on Li Xuan's lips as his palm gently covered Bing Rui's cool, bare body.

However, Bing Rui remained completely unaware of this. She was still searching for traces of Mian Yin in the dream world.

"Strange, why hasn't the new coordinate been sent yet? Could Tang Xi have secretly gone out for a midnight snack?" Bing Rui helplessly kicked the trash can in front of her. Though she was nearly invincible in the dream world, dreams were far more complex than reality and had no logical structure whatsoever. If Tang Xi had not constantly sent her coordinates, her chances of finding Alice would have been as slim as finding a needle in the sea.
