Who's the Fairy Here?! / A Peach from the Shangguan Family

"..."

"Alright! Let's go back! It's just a game, Xi Yan, don't let this stupid game ruin your mood, it's all my fault!"

"I'm not angry~"

"..."

At this moment, Shangyuan Maid Café, Su Xiaoxiao had been keeping Ye Qingya, chatting and working together ever since she entered.

She even changed into a white silk maid outfit, transforming into a loli maid and moving among several burly, fat young men. She was completely at ease and won their admiring glances, who kept asking for a "tip"!

The two little girls were about the same age, and they chatted and laughed together, quickly becoming friends.

Seeing that they were having a good time chatting, Lin Danyue saw an opportunity to slip away first.

Before long, Ye Qingya saw that her sisters had finished their meeting, and immediately got up to greet them.

"Sister Xiaoyu, didn't you say Xiaofeng would be coming tonight? Why haven't I seen him?"

"Um... she did come, but she didn't come in; she went to stroll around the Ancient City Street first."

Ling Xiaoyu was somewhat at a loss for words; saying that he had been kidnapped seemed rather inappropriate.

Seeing Ling Mengxue's bewildered expression, Lin Danyue couldn't help but become curious and began to speak eloquently.

"Ling... cough, Xiaoyu, I miss Ling Feng so much too. It's been so long, I was worried he'd forgotten about me~"

When Lin Danyue put pressure on her, Ling Xiaoyu was indeed somewhat helpless.

Su Xiaoxiao came over upon hearing the noise, and was secretly delighted to hear their discussion.

Of course, she also felt very sorry for Ling Mengxue; even at this point, there were still people who didn't know.

After some thought, Ling Xiaoyu decided not to keep it a secret anymore. Her expression became more serious. "Sister Yue, do you still remember the 'Star Dream Beneath the Moonlight' capture mission that the association assigned before?"

"I remember, but that little girl ran away with it later~"

Lin Danyue helplessly spread her hands. After all, the person had escaped from her grasp, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, we can't just blow up the whole coffee shop because of one person, can we?

If this causes panic among nearby residents, not only will the Ninth Bureau of the State be held accountable, but the Magic Association will also face public pressure.

As for this shop, it definitely doesn't need to stay open.

Chapter Ninety-One: Who is the Fairy?!

After Ling Xiaoyu's patient explanation, everyone suddenly felt as if they had woken up from a dream, and each of them had an expression of disbelief.

Lin Danyue's mouth was slightly open; one could imagine how shocked she was when she heard the truth.

That's right, Ling Xiaoyu revealed that Ling Mengxue was the Astral Mark Girl.

Ye Qingya listened from the side, her head buzzing. In a daze, she recalled the scene of the girl smiling at her when she left that day.

For some reason, as she thought about it, she felt a little angry, and her heart started racing. 'Honestly, why didn't you tell me something so important? Even if you're Astral Mark Girl, we're not going to eat you...'

Ye Qingya is still in high school. Her grades are only average to above average in her class, not particularly good.

Even so, except for the two days on weekends, she would still skip evening self-study and come to the store to help out every night.

As Magical Girls, her mind isn't on studying; if she really wanted to, getting good grades would be a piece of cake.

Lin Danyue was surprised, but she quickly calmed down and secretly glanced at Ye Qingya.

Of course she knew this little girl liked Ling Feng; she had managed to get her to reveal it during their previous conversations.

Rather, it's clear from her usual conversations and demeanor that this girl is too naive. Why can't she be a little braver?

Lin Danyue sighed silently, rubbing her forehead, and said nothing more.

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have been caught off guard by this scene, and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Ling Mengxue, but what was with that feeling that things were going to get really funny?!

'Should we call and let them know?'

With a sigh, she finally decided to tattle, and quietly stepped aside. But just as she made the call, a cell phone rang at the entrance of the coffee shop.

"Huh? It's Xiao Xiao's phone?"

"Hiss~ Could it be such a coincidence?"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little confused and immediately hung up the phone.

As expected, led by a maid, Ling Mengxue and Luo Xiyan were taken to their location.

Aside from Su Xiaoxiao, Lin Danyue was the first person to notice the two of them.

Upon seeing Luo Xiyan and then meeting Ling Mengxue's gaze, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes. They were truly two stunningly beautiful women, as picturesque as poems and paintings.

She paused briefly, then a playful glint appeared in her eyes, and a slight smile played on her lips. "My dear little sister, you haven't come to see your older sister in so long. Do you dislike her?"

"Huh?" Ling Mengxue was stunned upon hearing this.

The last time she came under this identity, wasn't she called in to fight? Why is she acting so strangely now?

And what's with that familiar tone?!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over at the same time. Ye Qingya was the most incredulous, so shocked that she couldn't speak and felt as if her brain had stopped working.

"Xiaoxue, Xi Yan, come here quickly."

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyu didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, she waved to them, gesturing for them to come and sit down.

However, as soon as Ling Mengxue took a step, Ye Qingya rushed over, pounced on her fiercely, knocking her back two or three steps, and hugged her tightly.

"Do you think I care?! Your classmates came over last time, and you weren't even willing to come see us. Are we even friends anymore?"

Ye Qingya was a little shorter than her, and her breathing was a little rapid. She hugged Ling Mengxue, rested her chin on her shoulder, and felt her warm breath on her sensitive ear, causing her pretty face to blush slightly.

From this angle, people can't see her face clearly, nor can they tell if she's crying or laughing.

But everyone could tell that although her tone contained a hint of complaint, she was actually happy.

Ling Mengxue was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Lin Dan and the others' gloating expressions, she suddenly realized what was going on.

Since her identity had probably already been exposed, she didn't choose to hide it any longer. Instead, she gently patted Ye Qingya on the back and looked at Lin Danyue with a helpless expression.

"I'm just worried... what if I get beaten up by Sister Yue again when I get back?"

"Oh? My little sister has been hiding this so well, she's fooled us all~" Lin Danyue looked at Ling Mengxue with a half-smile, making her feel flustered again.

"Fairy..." Ling Mengxue muttered softly.

"Come on, tell me, who's the real fairy now?"

Lin Danyue didn't care at all after hearing this. Instead, she became quite interested, smiled charmingly, and reached out to touch Ling Mengxue's face.

"Xiaofeng... no, I need to change it now. Xiaoxue's little face feels so soft and comfortable~ Do you want to sleep with your sister tonight?"

"No... no need. Sister Yue is beautiful, kind, generous, elegant, gentle, and charming... we can't accept that..."

"Puff!"

Seeing Ling Mengxue being teased so badly, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle. Then, Ling Xiaoyu and the others also couldn't help but laugh out loud. Their light and cheerful smiles, like silver bells, echoed melodiously in the coffee shop, attracting the attention of many customers who were enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Whew~ Ling Mengxue breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least their identities didn't create any distance between them.

Luo Xiyan hugged her comfortingly, and Ling Xiaoyu also stepped forward and embraced her two little sisters.

One, two, three, four...

Suddenly, Ling Mengxue's vision was completely blocked!

This is no longer included in the category of left and right hugs!

I'm suffocating!!

"Xiaoxue, stay and help out tonight~ Do you dare refuse?" Lin Danyue said with a relaxed expression.

"I dare, but this time I won't refuse..."

"What about me? Even if I just come back to sit for a while and chat?" Ye Qingya never let go of her hand.

"Peace of mind~"

Around 8:30 PM

Inside a luxuriously furnished practice room in Crescent Economics, two girls had just finished a day's training.

There were originally three of them, but another one had just offered to go get some late-night snacks, so there were only two people in the room at the moment.

They are all top-tier beauties, with a beauty score of 9.5 or higher. Even the most popular department beauties and school beauties would pale in comparison.

Sitting in the chairs, the two girls had been practicing for some time. Their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and the morning dew dampened their clothes. The glistening sweat dripped down like rain.

"Ke Yue, you seem to be in a bad mood since you came back from your exam today. Is something wrong? Tell me, I'll help you."

One of the girls, tall and slender, asked with concern.

The young woman smiled gently, her expression revealing an indescribable charm. She was like a peony bud about to bloom, beautiful without being gaudy, and elegant without being vulgar. She was a woman of refined taste!

Lan Keyue nodded and chuckled. Just thinking about how she hadn't been able to break through the girl's defensive sword technique even with her full-force attack of Trial-Tier Magic that afternoon, her gaze dimmed slightly.

"Sister Peach, a very strong Astral Mark Girl came to our school, and I couldn't beat her..."

Chapter Ninety-Two: A Peach from the Shangguan Family

"Huh? Really? You're already a Trial-Level mage, and you're skilled in both physical and magical combat, yet you still can't win?"

The young woman, nicknamed Sister Peach, said with an incredulous look on her face.

Sister Peach's real name is Shangguan Tao. She is the captain of Miracle Idols and a core member of the Shangguan Family. She has considerable influence in the entertainment industry and is famous in Linzhuo and even the entire Jiangnan Province.

Besides being an idol, she has also acted in several small-scale TV dramas, playing the second female lead or supporting roles.

The Shangguan Family is a martial arts family, with a stronghold in Linzhuo and even half of Jiangnan Province. They have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and even the military and political circles. They are many levels above ordinary wealthy families.

In martial arts families like this, the core members are undoubtedly the martial artists who have broken through the Gene Lock, and only secondarily are the controllers of the peripheral corporate forces.

The assets worth tens of billions are all dependent on the powerful military force of the Shangguan Family. Without the support of these experts, these assets would soon be swallowed up by other big sharks.

Shangguan Tao was born here and also practices martial arts and Daoism. She is now a powerful martial artist who has broken through the First-Order Gene Lock. She is comparable to the other core members of the family, not to mention that she is also a Trial-Tier Magic girl.

She has been practicing martial arts for many years, so like Lan Keyue, she is a mage specializing in physical magic, or "Physical Magic" for short!

Ordinary Astral Mark Girl and Magical Girls are extremely rare, and she had only ever seen one Astral Mark Executor had reached the Middle Tier. How could it be such a coincidence that her best friend ran into one? This was indeed quite unlucky.

"I investigated Sister Peach. The Astral Mark Girl is named Ling Mengxue. She just transferred to Dragon Soaring High School this semester. Her brother was originally studying here, but he also transferred at the same time. I suspect there might be something going on, after all, this is too much of a coincidence."

"What you're saying is indeed possible, but if she really reaches the Middle Tier, even if the three of us combine our strength, we still can't beat her, right?" Shangguan Tao spread her hands helplessly.

The appearance of the Destiny Engraver had already affected the martial arts world, making it extremely unbalanced. Otherwise, in the past, any grudge or feud could be easily resolved by sending a martial artist.

Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girl are too powerful; their power is beyond human comprehension.

Shangguan Tao had witnessed her third uncle fighting against an Apprentice Astral Mark Girl to determine who was superior.

She paid for the players, so she did her best to match them and gave it her all, but in the end, they only managed a draw.

Her third uncle was Third Order Gene Lock Awakener, practically the pillar of the Shangguan Family, yet he couldn't even defeat the most basic Destiny Engraver. Alas, the martial arts world has ultimately declined.

Third-Tier Gene Lock martial artist can catch bullets with their bare hands, move as fast as a galloping horse, and walk on water. Logically speaking, they should definitely be considered immortal beings in the mortal world.

Who would have thought that after thousands of years of martial arts tradition, "magic" would suddenly appear? A teenage girl could easily defeat the elders and ancestors of a powerful family?

"Phew~"

Shangguan Tao sighed. Although the world has become more magical than before, this magic is truly useful!

Lan Keyue remained silent for a while, clenched her small fist, and a determined look flashed in her eyes. In the end, she didn't say anything more, but if they met again next time, she would definitely fight.

The Miracle Idols trio has been around for about two years since their debut. The idea for this group first came about when Shangguan Tao had her idea during the arts festival held at Skyblue High School.

I consulted with my two most trusted best friends, and that's how we got to where we are now. One of them is Lan Keyue, who was called to her school for rehearsals late at night.

The other member is Shangguan Tao's roommate, but she's not here right now. After she returns and has a late-night snack, they will continue training to compete for the Linzhuo Film and Television Best New Idol Award.
