Being Pursued After Becoming Enemies with Magical Girls

The person standing at the door was none other than the one who had called earlier—and she was a magical girl.

Straight to the Point

"What?"

Ling Feng made no attempt to hide it and opened the door directly in her Astral Mark Girl form.

Tang Xiaohua jolted in fright, her expression as though she had seen something unbelievable.

But on second thought, Tang Xiaohua remembered that she had come looking for her in the first place. She had planned to ask Ling Feng about Ling Mengxue before.

Liu Yinxuan had searched through the school's student handbook and found no one by that name, so Tang Xiaohua had asked Ling Feng directly. Since Ling Feng was her brother, who would have thought he would hang up on her? They were classmates, at least! Who hung up that bluntly?

But this was even better. She had come out herself—wasn't that walking right into the trap?

"You're Ling Mengxue, right? My boss wants to see you. I advise you not to be ungrateful. Come with me obediently, or the consequences won't be something you can bear!"

Tang Xiaohua wore a proud expression, as if Ling Feng were merely prey. Her words dripped with arrogance.

Ling Feng remained expressionless, as though watching a monkey perform, and calmly spat out two words.

"Idiot."

"You dare insult me? I thought you were just a pretty face before. Turns out you're a pretty face with thorns!" Tang Xiaohua flew into a rage and pointed at Ling Feng as she cursed.

Bang!

Ling Feng ignored her completely and shut the door, locking Tang Xiaohua outside.

Seeing Ling Feng lock the door, Tang Xiaohua was so furious she could barely breathe.

"Tonight at seven, Shangyuan Maid Café on Southwest Street. If you don't dare come, don't ever oppose us magical girls again!" Tang Xiaohua threw out those words and left.

If Ling Feng had still been there, she would probably have called her an idiot again.

Ling Feng guessed that Tang Xiaohua would definitely become a delinquent woman in the future. At such a young age, why was she learning this kind of nonsense?

Shangyuan Maid Café? Damn! Only now did Ling Feng realize that this was serious?!

Even now, she still remembered the words on that red slip of paper: "Linzhou Magic Girl Association Headquarters!"

Going there would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den! Ling Feng was not stupid enough to charge into a wolf's lair when she knew she would die.

By evening, the sun had withdrawn its blinding light and turned into a golden disc. The cloudless sky was blue like a clear, pristine lake.

Gradually, the color of the horizon deepened, as though the lake water were growing darker. Bathed in the sunset, it was painted gold and looked especially magnificent.

Linzhou City, a medium-sized city in Jiangnan Province, had developed rapidly. To this day, it still retained an intact ancient city, now a famous tourist attraction.

As night approached, the crowds here surged like a tide.

Southwest Street, Shangyuan Maid Café.

A white-haired girl with peerless beauty instantly drew the attention of most of the customers.

Even quite a few employees stopped what they were doing and watched the white-haired girl in a JK uniform leisurely walk over and sit down at a table.

She then casually looked through the menu. Her long legs wrapped in black stockings made the male customers at the neighboring tables drool, though the girl did not notice any of it.

After a brief daze, some of the staff came to their senses.

After whispering a few words, one of them hurried off to report it, while others went over to serve the girl.

Before long, a beautiful girl in a maid outfit and another in a school uniform slowly sat down at the same table as the white-haired girl.

Ling Feng recognized both of them at once. The one in the maid outfit was the head maid, Lin Danyue, while the other was Tang Xiaohua, who had threatened her that morning.

So this was where things were about to go down?

It was not that Ling Feng wanted to come. If she had not come today, magical girls like Tang Xiaohua definitely would not let the matter rest. It was better to settle it all at once.

A Conversation

"Heh, I knew you would come."

"So, what is it? Just say it."

Ling Feng ignored Tang Xiaohua and turned her gaze toward Lin Danyue instead.

Tang Xiaohua's face turned livid at being ignored, hatred blazing in her eyes. If looks could kill, Ling Feng would have died hundreds of times already.

Ling Feng knew that Lin Danyue was the person in charge here, so she did not beat around the bush.

Lin Danyue was slightly surprised, then smiled.

"Then, Miss Ling, please come inside and have a seat with me."

Led by Lin Danyue, Ling Feng followed her into one of the café's rooms. Tang Xiaohua, however, was locked outside by Lin Danyue.

Having suffered the same humiliation twice in one day, Tang Xiaohua was furious. But she could do nothing about it. Thinking Lin Danyue wanted to teach Ling Feng a lesson herself, she obediently went outside to wait.

Meanwhile, the café was in an uproar, mostly among the magical girls working at the maid café.

"That white-haired girl just now was 'Star Dream Beneath the Moonlight'?"

"Probably. Sister Danyue personally invited her inside, so judging by the situation, it must be true."

"She really is a cute little beauty. She looks so well-behaved, yet she's apparently Linzhou City's strongest Astral Mark Girl."

"The Linzhou Magic Association recognizes it, so it should be true."

"Forget it. Let's get back to work."

"Mm."

During a quiet moment, several maids gathered together and discussed what had just happened.

Since it was evening, more and more customers were arriving. Though students still made up the majority, there were noticeably fewer this weekend.

After all, student groups were nearing final exams. Ye Qingya stood behind the counter, and she had seen Ling Feng and Lin Danyue earlier as well.

To be honest, although Ye Qingya was a magical girl, she had quite a good impression of Ling Feng, especially from the moment Ling Feng entered the café.

She felt that she and Ling Feng were particularly fated to get along.

"Sigh, who would have thought such a pretty and adorable big sister was from the Astral Mark side? Should we steal her away?"

Ye Qingya muttered to herself, but another customer arrived just then. She had no choice but to set the thought aside for now, step forward, and greet them with a smile. "Master."

Ling Feng knew this room better than anyone. The pink-toned decorations, the ornaments—

She even knew which shelf in one of the wardrobes still held her maid outfit. But after learning what the voice-changing pills did, she no longer dared to take them.

Lin Danyue looked at Ling Feng with elegant interest, completely unconcerned that Ling Feng was an Astral Mark Girl.

Ling Feng might have looked calm on the surface, but inside, she was panicking like crazy!

What did Lin Danyue want? What good could come from this group of magical girls? At most, they would fight again!

But things did not proceed as Ling Feng had expected.

Lin Danyue had Ling Feng sit across from the tea table while she began brewing tea.

Using a wooden spoon, she scooped tea leaves into a gaiwan, then poured over them with boiling water from a nearby kettle. Steam carrying the fragrance of tea curled upward.

Her heart slowly settled amid the tea mist. A long-lost sense of familiarity washed away the desolation in her chest, leaving her mind tranquil and empty.

At that moment, Lin Danyue appeared elegant and dignified, nothing like the energetic, slightly tsundere girl Ling Feng remembered.

"A cup of sugar-free jasmine tea carries a faint fragrance and a rich aftertaste. It may not be luxurious, but it is captivating enough. I love tea, and now I've fallen for this cup of sugar-free jasmine tea..."

"Miss Danyue, if you have something to say, say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush," Ling Feng said bluntly.

"Heh." Lin Danyue chuckled softly upon hearing that and spoke.

"When the spring breeze ripples a pond, everyone should sweep the snow before their own door and not worry about the frost on another's roof. Fewer troubles are better than more. Sweep the snow before your own door and do not concern yourself with—well, having one less problem is better than one more."

"Speak normally." Ling Feng frowned slightly.

"Sweep the snow before your own door and do not worry about the frost on another's roof. Simply put, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Oh? I happen to enjoy meddling in other people's business."

This time, even Ling Feng laughed. Lin Danyue froze. Why was this person so incapable of taking a hint?

As long as Ling Feng agreed not to oppose magical girls, Lin Danyue would not make things difficult for her anymore.

What Lin Danyue did not know was that, as an Astral Mark Girl, Ling Feng could not possibly stand by and watch her companions be attacked by magical girls.

But Ling Feng also did not want to see magical girls surrounded and attacked by Astral Mark Girls. At the end of the day, they were all just adolescent girls. Why did they have to fight and kill all day?

Perhaps Ling Feng would learn the truth in the near future. At least, not now.

Could She Be Crossing Over?!

Tang Xiaohua had no idea how long she had been waiting outside.

At first, she pressed her little head against the door, trying to listen to what was happening inside.

Unfortunately, Lin Danyue had long since used a magical barrier to isolate the room from the outside world. Naturally, Tang Xiaohua could not hear anything. As she waited, she eventually fell asleep against the door.

Creak!

The bedroom door slowly opened, and all she could see at first was a flash of snowy white. The person who came out was Ling Feng.

Since she had been leaning against the door, Tang Xiaohua fell to the floor when it opened. Startled awake, she sat bolt upright.

Her bleary eyes gradually cleared. Seeing that the one who came out was Ling Feng, and that she was completely unharmed, Tang Xiaohua could not help feeling puzzled.

What was going on? Had Sister Danyue not properly dealt with her?

With that thought in mind, Tang Xiaohua had no time to bother with Ling Feng. She got up and rushed into the bedroom. Everything inside was intact. Tang Xiaohua knew that was because the magical barrier had protected the room. She believed an earth-shattering battle must have taken place here!

Inside the bedroom, Lin Danyue was still quietly brewing tea.

When she saw Tang Xiaohua rush in, Lin Danyue acted as though she had not seen her. She picked up her teacup and gently took a sip.

Pfft! The instant it entered her mouth, Lin Danyue spat it out again.

"So bitter! If I weren't dieting lately, who the hell would drink this stuff?"

"Sister Yue."

"Xiaohua? What is it?"

"Just now, I saw Ling Mengxue, she..." Tang Xiaohua hesitated, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Ah, forget it. At least training-level magic is useless against her now," Lin Danyue said earnestly. "But I don't dare try higher-level magic. It would be bad if I blew up the café."

After hearing Lin Danyue's words, Tang Xiaohua stood frozen in place. Was that bitch really so powerful? Even Sister Danyue could do nothing to her?

Though she was still somewhat unhappy, Tang Xiaohua did not say anything else. She decided it would be better to go home and study properly.

If Ling Feng knew Tang Xiaohua was thinking that way, she would definitely feel relieved.

Ling Feng headed straight for the exit and immediately met Ye Qingya's gaze near the entrance.

When Ye Qingya saw Ling Feng, her mind went blank. She stared straight at Ling Feng as she walked toward the door, unable to say a single word.

Instead, Ling Feng tilted her head and smiled at her. Ye Qingya suddenly felt restrained and uncomfortable, even a little shy.

She watched blankly as Ling Feng walked out of the café and disappeared beneath the streetlights into the surging crowd...

Imperial Internet Café.

Imperial Internet Café was the first large-scale internet leisure venue in Linzhou Ancient City Development Zone, combining relaxation and entertainment with an elegant environment and first-class equipment.

Buildings 4-7, Southwest Street.

The place was bustling with people, seemingly all around the same age. They sat here as though they were used to it, without making too much noise.

They unleashed the vigor of youth in games. With its elegant environment and top-notch equipment, gaming here was definitely N times better than gaming at home.

The atmosphere was amazing. Playing games at an internet café made people feel incredibly focused and pumped! So comfortable! This kind of internet café decor was absolutely worth having.
