I've Been Found Out Already?! / Scheming

A terrible thought lingered in my mind.

Holy crap?!

How did I end up in a den of thieves again?!

Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but he remained outwardly calm. Despite his complicated emotions, he could only forcefully suppress the shock within him.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying...

This is outrageous!

If Ling Feng had known all this sooner, he would never have come. If he'd been discovered, wouldn't he be unable to leave?

"Xiaofeng, what are you thinking about? You brought Luo Luo and two other Little Mei with you today. Do you think your older sister isn't pretty enough? Doesn't she satisfy you?"

Fang Zi put away the magic book she hadn't fully studied yet, then crossed her arms and looked at Ling Feng with a smile that gave him goosebumps.

For some reason, standing in front of Fang Zi, Ling Feng always felt like his whole body was being seen through. Was it really that terrifying?

And that astrologer thing on her profile is just ridiculous!

Ling Feng screamed inwardly, but in the end, he could only manage a trembling laugh.

"How could that be? Sister Fang Zi is so beautiful, cute, and charming (//?//), uh... no, how could I possibly have those kinds of thoughts about her?!"

Ling Feng realized something was wrong halfway through his speech. He cried out in alarm and almost thought he was going to die, but thankfully he managed to stop in time.

"Oh? You dare to have designs on my older sister?"

Fang Zi isn't deaf; she heard everything Ling Feng just said clearly.

Although I was happy to hear it, I was still a little angry.

Seeing her hands on her hips, looking gentle and charming with her eyes half-closed, Ling Feng felt his heart sink.

Fang Zi's forehead was covered in black lines; he was clearly angry!

For the first time, Ling Feng longed to return to Lin Danyue's side rather than stay here. He would rather be teased by that cunning and domineering older sister than face this squinty-eyed monster!

That's terrifying!

Chapter Ten already exposed it?!

"Hey? Xiaofeng, why are you trembling? Do you think your sister is going to eat you? Why are you so scared?"

Fang Zi noticed something was wrong, and her clear, bright eyes softened slightly.

"Alright, alright, let's go to the study first. Xiaofeng, why are you acting like I'm bullying you? If Xiaoyu sees this, she'll beat me to death!"

Hearing Fang Zi's words, Ling Feng felt a pang of grievance.

Isn't that right?

However, despite his thoughts, Ling Feng didn't dare to say it aloud; he didn't want to try it a second time!

Fang Zi took Ling Feng's hand and led him to her private little study.

In her spare time, she likes to study magic books, many of which she redeemed with her points, but most of them came from the Magic Association, and many of them were brought back by Ling Xiaoyu from various Magic Association.

The sheer volume of knowledge contained within is so vast that even some of the Magical Girls in the association wouldn't be able to finish reading it in decades, let alone study and research it—it would take at least several hundred years!

Upon entering the study, Ling Feng immediately noticed the bookshelves filled with densely packed books, each row neatly arranged with various kinds of books.

Although it wasn't his first time here, the titles of these books were rather strange, and Ling Feng couldn't understand them. He could only sense that they seemed quite impressive.

From the outside, this study doesn't seem to occupy a large area, but once you step inside, you'll find it's surprisingly spacious and unexpectedly large.

With dozens of bookshelves, wardrobes, desks, and automatic water dispensers, it's practically a small library!

Seeing Fang Zi Ling Feng was still as "naive and cute" as before, Fang Zi felt a little sentimental, because not long ago, she had discovered a secret about Ling Feng that no one else knew from the magic mirror.

However, this thing is somewhat mysterious. Fang Zi only sensed traces of the Destiny Sign in it, and she herself did not dare to draw a conclusion directly.

In the end, she decided that she would learn the truth through practice!

Wouldn't it be clear if she investigated it herself?

Why think so much?

"Xiaofeng, come here, come here."

Fang Zi stopped in front of the square desk at the head of the table, turned around and waved to Ling Feng, who responded and walked over.

She always had a sweet and friendly smile on her lips, which was refreshing and full of positive energy, making it hard to refuse her requests.

However, Ling Feng knew that this little girl was definitely not thinking anything good.

And just as he expected, as soon as Ling Feng approached, Fang Zi had already taken out a set of exclusive maid outfits from Blue Sky Catgirl Paradise.

Cat ears, cat tail, maid outfit, white stockings, and even panties and a bra are included—the whole set is complete! Excellent service!

"Xiaofeng, change your clothes first."

"No trade."

Ling Feng was speechless. Although Fang Zi was very powerful, he wouldn't give in so easily.

Fang Zi thought about it and realized that it wasn't good to force him every time. It seemed there was a reason why Ling Feng didn't like coming.

But if Xiaofeng doesn't dress herself, then Fang Zi made up her mind, then snapped her fingers, and a ripple could be vaguely seen spreading from her fingers.

Suddenly, the space around her seemed to freeze, and even the sounds from the outside world were completely cut off. At this moment, Ling Feng also realized that something was wrong, but when he tried to move, his body was out of control and he could not move an inch!

He never expected that Fang Zi, a Magical Girls of the Hall-tier, would use magic on him, an "ordinary person." This was simply too much!

"Holy crap! This is spatial magic, isn't it?! Sister Fang actually used magic on an ordinary person like me?!" After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng pretended to scold her.

"Oh? You even know this is spatial magic. Xiaofeng, are you hiding something from your sister?"

Seeing Fang Zi walking towards him with a light smile, Ling Feng felt a sudden sense of panic.

Could it be that she's discovered I'm Astral Mark Girl and now wants to wipe me out?!

This isn't right!

Ling Feng was certain he hadn't revealed anything to Fang Zi, so what was she planning to do? It couldn't just be a simple change of clothes, could it?

Wait, clothes?!

Realizing the crucial point, Ling Feng completely panicked. If he hadn't switched it himself, his Astral Mark Necklace would definitely have been discovered! He absolutely couldn't let that happen!

"I'll wear it! I'll wear it, okay?!"

Fang Zi's seriousness, Ling Feng was truly frightened. If only he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?

Wearing a maid outfit won't kill me or cost me anything. It's not like it's the first time. Yet I'm still feeling anxious and confused.

"Hmm? You're willing now? Okay, I'll help you!"

"Can't!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was stunned once again. If he let someone else help him switch the items, wouldn't his secret be discovered?!

"Oh dear? Xiaofeng, why are you so nervous? It's just changing clothes, why are you so upset?"

Fang Zi covered her mouth and laughed, but the meaningful smile on her face made Ling Feng feel uneasy.

She found out!

She definitely knows!

Shh~ Don't be afraid, it'll be over soon~

Fang Zi chuckled softly and immediately began unbuttoning her shirt.

Seeing her serious expression, Ling Feng had no choice but to let her do as she pleased!

There was nothing he could do; Fang Zi's magic was too powerful. Without transforming, he simply couldn't defeat her or break free. Even if he did transform, he wasn't sure if he could beat her.

Of course, most importantly, if he transformed, wouldn't his identity be completely exposed?

At this point, Ling Feng was caught in a dilemma!

After unbuttoning the top few buttons, Fang Zi indeed found a six-pointed star necklace inlaid with ice-blue crystals.

Ling Feng remained silent throughout, letting the little girl do as she pleased.

So, you've seen enough, played enough, isn't it time to let me go?

Ling Feng silently simulated a conversation in his mind, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it!

The mere thought of his identity as Astral Mark Girl filled him with shame, leaving him with no courage to confront it. He himself felt something was amiss, let alone outsiders.

"So that's how it is, Miss Star Engraving?"

Fang Zi nodded with satisfaction, her conjecture confirmed. She pursed her lips, and a beautiful, loving smile spread across her face.

"So, can you let me go now?"

Seeing Fang Zi's smug look, Ling Feng's lips twitched involuntarily.

Those women aren't good people~

Once Ling Feng regained his freedom, he didn't want to stay a moment longer!

At this moment, Fang Zi was nothing but a demon in his eyes!

But will Fang Zi do as he wishes?

Definitely not!

Then, she used a clever trick to lock the door!

"Xiaofeng, you don't seem to have anything urgent right now, do you? Luo Luo and the others are having a great time. Why don't we just stay here, chat, have some tea, and read a book? Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Come on, Xiaofeng! Show Fang Zi what you've got! Let her teach you about that kind of thing first!!"

Fang Zi sat at the desk, legs crossed, long golden hair cascading down to her waist, a faint smile seemingly always playing on her red lips.

Chapter Eleven: Schemes

Fang Zi gazed at Ling Feng with gentle eyes and spoke very softly.

Feeling a bit speechless under that gaze, Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "Sister Fang, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing that."

"No, no, oh dear, can I be your older sister? If Xiaofeng really gets angry, I'll be very sad." Fang Zi looked melancholy, so much so that even Ling Feng was almost fooled by her acting!

"Okay, actually I have something important to tell you. I'm going to take you somewhere later."

"Where?"

You'll find out then.

Seeing Fang Zi Ling Feng wouldn't give in, Fang Zi wasn't in a hurry.

She thought that spending all her time studying these magic books was bad for her health, so she decided to take this opportunity to go out and travel.

After all, jade cannot become a useful object without being carved, and people cannot understand principles without learning.

As for those trivial matters, just leave them to others; there's no need to worry about them too much.

At the same time

Fated Scenery Court

Ye Xiaoying had just endured a brutal, inhumane, and horrific torture.

In a bedroom on the second floor of the villa, several girls were lying haphazardly on a large bed. The most conspicuous among them was Ye Xiaoying, who had lost all feeling in her limbs!

Furthermore, there were many unidentified toys and bottles scattered around the floor near the bed!

The torn skirts, stockings, and underwear were countless. The bed sheets had been changed countless times, and the first two even had (snow) stains on them! And they were all (poems)!

While the Hell Girl were having a great time, Bai Lingxuan was already taking the spoils that Ye Xiaoying had brought back and preparing to hand them over to the legendary "God" of the Dark Angel Alliance.

That was the founder of the entire Dark Angel Alliance, the one who possessed the strongest dark magic, and the god who granted them a new life!

Completing an A-level mission personally set by the Lord will at least reward you with High Tier magic scroll bestowed by the Lord, or even Epic Tier- grade magic artifact.

With these items, the chances of dealing with High Tier Astral Mark Girl and Magical Girls would be significantly higher.
