After Becoming Enemies with Magical Girls, They Started Chasing Me — Chapter 15

The game featured mages, magic swordsmen, swordsmen, archers, sniper rifles, assault rifles, saber wielders, swordmasters, and assassins. It mainly revolved around three major elements.

Magic, blades, and firearms.

That was right—the classic swords-and-magic formula.

Ling Feng had claimed first place in the PVP rankings for five consecutive years under the title of SK's number one marksman, making him extremely popular in the scene.

However, he had not participated in the last two tournaments, so some believed he had retired, while others thought he simply had no time to keep playing.

That was indeed the case. Every day, Ling Xiaoyu hounded him like she was driving ducks, forcing him to study, and he also had to work part-time at some maid café. Where was he supposed to find the time?

This time, he happened to have the chance to compete in the Winter Tournament.

After leaving the private room, they discussed finding one more person. They had no choice—their previous two teammates had transferred schools. Otherwise, they could have just called them over.

"My dear Miss Luo, Magic University has already been established. So, what do you say? Skip senior year and come with me! You got the notice too, right? Are you going or not?"

Outside Private Room No. 1 at the Bilu Lake Grand Hotel, a petite purple-haired girl spoke to the expressionless girl beside her.

"I'll think about it. Let's head down first."

"Oh, what's there to think about? Aren't you happy to go with me?"

"I am."

"Exactly! Then what are we waiting for?"

"Let's talk after finals are over."

Su Xiaoxiao said nothing. Whatever her young lady said went. There was no persuading her anyway.

But she knew that Miss Luo before her was the legitimate daughter of the Luo Family, one of Yanjing's great wealthy families. She was also one of the top magical girls at their school and the class monitor of the magic class.

As for those Astral Mark Girls, they were too weak in numbers. Just a few magical girls would be enough to fight them.

When they got off the elevator, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spotted a familiar figure and called out.

"Su Yun?"

"Xiaoxiao? And Xiyan too. What a coincidence. You're here as well."

Su Yun and Yuwen had just come out of their private room when they saw familiar faces.

Su Xiaoxiao was Su Yun's cousin. Though they were distant relatives, Su Yun's branch of the family was fairly ordinary.

The two had been quite close before, but after Su Xiaoxiao's father became the family head, Su Yun's parents took her to live in Linzhuo.

Zhao Ping and Yuwen were equally stunned by the two beauties, especially the girl beside Su Xiaoxiao. If they could marry a beauty like that in this lifetime, they would die without regrets, wouldn't they?

Of the three, Ling Feng was the first to recover. He coughed lightly, snapping Zhao Ping and Yuwen back to reality.

"Yuwen, your girlfriend is still right here," Ling Feng said in a low voice.

After saying that, Ling Feng smiled and greeted the pink-haired girl.

"Hi."

"Mm." Luo Xiyan nodded.

Ling Feng had not expected her to actually respond. But the girl was still expressionless. Did this look like two acquaintances greeting each other? Come on!

Ling Feng screamed internally, but his face remained calm, carrying a touch of restrained smugness and slow warmth.

Zhao Ping and the others were dumbfounded. So they knew each other?

Even Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yun were a little confused. They knew what a big shot Luo Xiyan was. Could this guy have some hidden identity?

"What is it?"

Ling Feng found it strange. Why was everyone looking at him like that?

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to realize something and suddenly cried out.

"Xiyan said she owed someone money. She was talking about you, wasn't she?!"

The Origins of Her Cool Personality

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say that, not only Zhao Ping and the others were confused now—even Ling Feng himself was baffled.

Why was this Miss Luo so obsessed with a tea egg? From the conversation, Ling Feng could tell her family was rich.

Luo Xiyan herself also felt that something was off.

Since childhood, with her family background, she had never really owed anyone anything. Though this had been an accident, there was only one sentence in her heart.

That was...

It was wrong to take things from others for free!

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao was the one who smoothed things over and eased the awkward atmosphere.

"Alright, alright. Since everyone knows each other, why don't we have a meal together?"

"Didn't we just eat? Ling Feng and the others should have just finished too."

Su Xiaoxiao had barely breathed a sigh of relief before that damn young lady spoke again.

So she even knew his name. Did she owe him a lot of money? A strange thought surfaced in Su Xiaoxiao's mind, but she immediately tossed it aside.

Impossible!

In the end, Su Yun simply suggested that they all go out for a walk, finally bringing tonight's dinner gathering to an end.

On the streets, all kinds of vehicles flowed endlessly past.

Against the backdrop of the night, cars followed one after another in tightly packed rows, like a stream of dazzling pearls, or lines of glittering stars in motion.

Hearing Ling Feng and the others discussing Chronicles of Time and Space, Su Xiaoxiao joined the conversation.

She played Chronicles of Time and Space herself, so she was quite interested. When she learned that they planned to participate in the Winter Tournament, Su Xiaoxiao became even more excited.

Since SK Chronicles was released several years ago, its popularity had remained sky-high, even surpassing major games like Deadly Pesticide and League of Legends for a time.

Especially after magical girls appeared, the mage class became extremely popular. Countless tactics and playstyles had been developed by pro players and streamers.

As a result, a saying began circulating throughout the game.

"Fight magic with magic!"

And just like that, the five teammates had been assembled?

Since there was still some time before then, they did not talk much more about it.

They only learned that everyone seemed to be high school students, and all of them happened to be in their second year. That was absurd!

Zhao Ping felt a sense of crisis growing in his heart. Even Ling Feng knew such a gorgeous beauty. Was he going to be the last one to get a girlfriend?

"Ling Feng, is the world going to abandon me?"

Ling Feng glanced at Zhao Ping. What was wrong with this guy now?

"Don't worry. If the whole world abandons you, remember to come find me. I know a few human traffickers."

"Holy shit!" Zhao Ping's face darkened. He wanted to hit someone now.

Turning his head away, Ling Feng noticed that Luo Xiyan had not said a word. Her face always looked so indifferent.

Unable to help himself, he quietly asked Su Xiaoxiao a few questions. Only then did Ling Feng gain a slight understanding.

Since Luo Xiyan had never known how to express her emotions since childhood, many people around her often disliked her, and naturally, she spoke less and less.

She had been a lofty princess from the moment she was born. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, even people who knew her rarely dared to speak with her. Most only approached her because of her face.

Su Xiaoxiao told Ling Feng to pay attention. If he could help her, that would naturally be best. After all, they were close friends.

Zhao Ping and Yuwen did not understand any of this. They only thought the girl had a rather cool personality.

When Luo Xiyan saw Ling Feng talking with Su Xiaoxiao, she more or less knew what Su Xiaoxiao was telling him.

When Luo Xiyan turned back, she gave Su Xiaoxiao a meaningful look. The meaning could not have been clearer: You told him all about me?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly. "Hehe, it's for your own good."

Ling Feng had not expected things to be like this. If someone could not even express her own emotions...

How did she live her daily life? How did others see her?

What had she gone through before? Sadness? Pain? Grief?

Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt a little more sympathy for the girl.

But how could he help her?

Since he still had an exam tomorrow, Ling Feng left by himself first.

When he turned back, Ling Feng found Luo Xiyan looking at him.

The girl's pure eyes were filled with the freshness and clarity of youth, giving Ling Feng the strong feeling of a first love. It was a strange feeling, like gaining energy while starving, instantly making the world seem beautiful.

Ling Feng realized that he seemed able to sense her emotions and mood. They seemed... pretty good.

"Goodbye."

Those were the last words Ling Feng heard.

Watching the boy disappear into the sea of people once more, Luo Xiyan felt for the first time that he was somewhat different.

In the taxi

Ling Feng took out his phone and habitually opened the radio.

His Nokia automatically began playing the latest news broadcast.

[According to this station, a certain city resident edited selfies at home and mistakenly believed he was the most handsome person in the world.

He began looking down on the friends around him, believing they were not worthy of him.

Fortunately, his friends came to his rescue in time and turned off the beauty filter, allowing him to recover.]

Ling Feng silently turned off his phone and looked out the car window.

"The world is so vast..."

Astral Mark Girl, Ling Mengxue, Has Arrived!

The pitch-black street was silent except for the ticking of cars and the swaying of tree branches.

As he walked down the small path, Ling Feng could already imagine Ling Wanqing complaining at home.

She really had it rough. After transferring to Linzhuo, she did not know many people. He should spend more time with her.

Ling Feng felt a little guilty.

As he passed an alleyway, Ling Feng suddenly heard cries for help coming from within.

What the hell? How had he run into a plot straight out of a novel? Was this really that cliché?

Ling Feng cursed under his breath.

So the question was, should he save her? Or should he save her?

"Help! Can anyone help me?!"

At that moment, four young punks with brightly dyed hair dragged a girl out.

The girl looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was still a minor.

The punks dragged the girl into the alley across the street.

What they intended to do was obvious to anyone who was not blind.

Ling Feng naturally wanted to help her. If Ling Wanqing or Ling Xiaoyu had been the one kidnapped, would he not have hoped that they could receive help from a kind stranger?

That was the truth!

Uh, though they would not need it.

Besides, she was an underage girl. Ling Feng's conscience would never allow him to ignore this. He lightly brushed the Astral Mark Necklace against his chest and transformed!

"Let go of me! Let go of me."

By then, the girl had been drugged into a daze and could not tell east from west at all.
