Big Sister's Persuasion / The Black Beach

"I think... I have a plan." Luo Xiyan smiled at her, then turned to Xia Baiying and said, "Miss Xia, I can help you take revenge yourself, but after it's all over, you will need to leave this world."

"I understand, little sister."

Xia Baiying nodded. Even if Luo Xiyan didn't say it, she knew that she should have disappeared from this world long ago. Now that she had the opportunity to take revenge on her enemies, she would die without regret.

She was once just an ordinary girl from an ordinary university, an ordinary employee at a company, who met that handsome and taciturn man by chance, and then had a simple and ordinary relationship.

She didn't know how long those days went by. She had been so devoted to the idea that they could get married smoothly and grow old together... But why did all those things happen later?!

Xia Baiying shook her head helplessly, then looked at Zhao Ping, a bitter smile appearing on her pale face, "It's been two years. Xiaoping has grown so much, and now he has two such beautiful female classmates. Aunt Xia is so happy for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping's body trembled slightly. Some words got stuck in his throat, and he choked up, unable to utter a sound.

After a moment of silence, seeing that no one was speaking, Luo Xiyan reached into her Destiny Space and took out an Azure Jade Gourd. With a "whoosh," she sucked Xia Baiying inside, then casually closed the bottle and quietly put it away.

This smooth and effortless operation left Zhao Ping and Ling Mengxue somewhat stunned; they hadn't known she was this professional.

Luo Xiyan turned her face away, ignoring Zhao Ping. Seeing Ling Mengxue staring blankly at her, she was also taken aback for a moment, then said gently with a smile, "Leave it to me, I'm very professional."

"Uh... I see." Ling Mengxue said blankly, and Zhao Ping beside her nodded vigorously in agreement.

Chapter 117 My Sister's Seduction

Afterwards, Luo Xiyan used magic to restore the power, and the entire house was instantly brightly lit, illuminating every corner.

The fact that it went undetected for so long clearly indicates that the murderer tampered with the evidence.

According to Xia Baiying, she and her family had been separated for a long time, living independently and having little contact with each other. The move was because they were planning to return to their hometown to get married and live.

It's probably because of what happened later that the despicable couple took advantage of the situation and used this opportunity to expose the body here.

Two years have passed, the bloodstains have dried, and the body is already highly decomposed. Even so, the gruesome knife marks scattered between the ribs make it easy to imagine the bloodshed of the scene.

Luo Xiyan made a phone call to arrange for a coffin and a vehicle, and also called the police. The area was quickly cordoned off, and a large police tape was put up, requiring a thorough investigation.

Of course, she had sent everyone away beforehand, and Zhao Ping felt a pang of unease, so he couldn't stay any longer.

He was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't possibly get involved in that kind of thing; he was even just a high school student.

However, this experience also strengthened his resolve to master "superpowers," whether they were superpowers or magic.

"Damn it, once I learn this superpower, I'll definitely sweep away all evil in the world!"

Zhao Ping silently vowed to himself, feeling an aura of boundless ambition. He believed he was destined for greatness, for those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles.

Ling Mengxue watched from a distance for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and left.

It's best to leave the rest of the time to the professionals. If I stay there, I'll probably be taken in for questioning again, which might cause trouble for Xi Yan. It's better to leave first.

But then again, how long have I been a girl...?

Seemingly...

Less than a month, right? Holy crap, he's actually starting to get used to it?

Although it was irreversible, she still felt resentful. Looking at her slender, jade-like hands, she frowned slightly, and her gentle and beautiful face seemed to have the chill of a twilight rain.

At that moment, someone sent her a message.

It was sent by Zhao Ping to Ling Feng's account.

"Ling Feng, guess what I saw tonight?"

Even though it's just words, you can still sense the intensity of his emotions, and of course, a touch of melancholy...

Ling Mengxue found it somewhat amusing. What kind of time is this to be chatting about these things?

But since Zhao Ping wants to chat, it won't hurt to chat with him.

After thinking it over, he promptly replied to the message: "Did you see a ghost tonight?"

"Holy crap! You guessed right! I'm telling you, tonight..."

"..."

"And what about that superpower training course? The tuition might be a bit expensive, but don't worry, I can help you scrape together the money. If all else fails, you can always borrow some from Yuwen. There won't be any problems," Zhao Ping typed back.

Superpowers?

Ling Mengxue was stunned for a moment. Only then did she remember the mission—wasn't that a fraudulent company?

The task system has already made this determination, so there's definitely no chance of it going wrong. Why is this kid so stubbornly refusing to understand?

"Zhao Ping, take my advice and focus on your studies. You can't handle that thing!"

"Pah! With such a wonderful sister, how could I possibly settle for mediocrity? I'm going to be King Arthur, the man who saves the world!"

Ling Mengxue: "..."

After chatting for a few more minutes, it became clear that Ling Mengxue was indeed staying in Bengbu.

This guy is definitely a bit off his head. He's still dreaming of becoming a chivalrous hero and saving the world. Dreams are nice, but reality is harsh. Isn't this just wishful thinking?

However, Ling Mengxue admired him. Even though he was weak, he wanted to be a salted fish with dreams. But even if he was a salted fish, he was the saltiest one!

After this incident, he will probably become even more curious about these kinds of mysterious things, and any fear or dread will likely be completely suppressed by his intense curiosity.

This thing is indeed very harmful; he needs to control it himself.

In the end, Ling Mengxue didn't try to persuade her any further. She suggested they go together depending on the situation. After all, they were friends, and if anything happened, she could take care of them.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

The next morning, Ling Mengxue woke up early and rolled over in bed to look at her phone.

On weekends, she can even sit on the bed looking at her phone until noon.

This body is actually in good physical condition, but it's too weak and lacks strength, which makes it easy for her to be lazy and stay in bed, not wanting to move.

Xi Yan didn't come home last night. I guess she was dealing with Xia Baiying's matter, or she went back to the Magic Association first and didn't come home.

At that moment, Ling Xiaoyu called her.

"Sister," Ling Mengxue spoke first.

Hearing my own gentle and pleasant voice immediately improved my mental state.

"Xiaoxue, how did things go last night? Xi Yan has taken over the entire mission; it seems to be just a lingering Restless Soul?"

Hearing Ling Xiaoyu's words, Ling Mengxue was speechless. What did she mean by "just a lingering Restless Soul"?

This is simply outrageous.

Before she could say anything more, Ling Xiaoyu explained, "Under normal circumstances, soul-type life forms are relatively fragile and not that dangerous. You can choose to perform a direct ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife."

"Evil spirits or vengeful ghosts are often accompanied by some obscure events, which are then investigated by professionals. All you need to do is show your credentials and report the specific circumstances; it's quite easy."

Ling Mengxue suddenly felt inexplicably speechless, and asked calmly, "Sister, do I have any identification documents?"

"This..." "You can take it if you don't have it. It's not a big deal. As long as you join the Magic Association, you'll have a special certificate." Ling Xiaoyu said casually, appearing somewhat indifferent.

However, Ling Mengxue could easily see that this was already a form of seduction.

Indeed, Ling Xiaoyu's words were meant to involve her younger sister, and she didn't need to assign her any high-risk missions. She could start by honing her skills with small tasks, and with the protection of the Magic Association, her safety would be absolutely guaranteed.

Furthermore, Ling Xiaoyu wasn't worried about raising her into a hothouse flower. Anyway, there would be many people in the association, so she could let them practice against each other, and she would personally train them when there was time. There definitely wouldn't be any problem.

The Magic Association also has a special Starfield Secret Realm for training mages, where they can choose the level of those extraterrestrial creatures. Even if they die in that space, it will not have any impact on reality.

The Ninth Bureau's training camp also has a special alternate dimension for agents to train in, in order to improve their cultivation and combat skills.

Some small cities may not have a single Magical Girls, and some Magical Girls might not even get involved in matters concerning dimensional beings. The Ninth Bureau bears a heavy burden.

Chapter 118 Black Beach

"Sister, let's talk about this later..."

Ling Mengxue felt a little embarrassed. Last time it was Fang Zi, and now even her sister was trying to persuade her to join the Magic Association.

Many people might not mind being Astral Mark Girl because of Ling Xiaoyu, but there will inevitably be some who don't like it.

The feud between Star Engraving and Magic cannot be explained in just a few words. Although she was not very clear about the underlying entanglements, the intensity of their fight made it all self-evident.

Ling Mengxue said that Ling Xiaoyu was not surprised at all, since this wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

Suddenly, Ling Xiaoyu seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"Luo Luo said she misses you a lot, so do you want to come over and see her?"

"Luo Luo? Anyway, with Sister Xiaoyu, I'll just sit back and be the manager~" Ling Mengxue said casually with a sullen smile.

She was happy, but Ling Xiaoyu was a bit stunned and didn't react for a while. Then she pretended to be angry. "Oh, so you actually dare to use your sister as a tool? Wait till we get back, I'll spank you!"

"I was wrong, it was just a joke, please don't be angry, sister!"

Beep!!

Ling Mengxue hung up the phone hastily, too lazy to think about it anymore.

They grew up together, so she naturally knew her older sister's personality. She just wanted to be near her so she could take care of her more easily.

But now that he's older, why would he need to be protected under his older sister's wing like that?

Is it because I am too weak now, or because my sister has gone too far away, making her unattainable?

At that moment, several more options suddenly popped into her eyes.

[Option A: "Diligent Cultivation", unlock Dream Training, complete ninety-nine sword skills. Completion Reward: Invisibility Potion +1]

[Option B: "Conserve Energy," continue sleeping, and if you sleep for 24 hours, you will receive the title "Sleeping Beauty," which improves sleep quality by 10%. Completion Reward: +10 Fog Bombs]

[Choose C: "Energy and Spirit," wash up in the morning, get up and prepare breakfast. Completion reward: Double all basic attribute points.]

"Wow, even getting out of bed can trigger options?"

Without hesitation, Ling Mengxue decisively chose C, got up, dressed, and washed up...

Since she was at home, she was only wearing a white spaghetti strap dress, so it didn't matter if it was a little revealing, since no one would see her anyway.

The basic attribute panel was updated soon.

[Speed, Agility: 30/100]

[Strength, Constitution: 80/100]

"His strength is already close to the peak of Apprentice level, but his speed is still lacking."

Time flies

A coastal area of Magic City

The waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up sparkling white sprays of water. They pounded and washed ashore again and again, then slowly receded, leaving behind a puddle of sand and pebbles. On the beach, small crabs would occasionally scurry away from their soft burrows, trying to avoid the passersby.

Although it was February, it was midday, and the sea breeze was cool and pleasant, so there were quite a few couples out and about.

Boys and girls in swimsuits gathered on the beach, laughing and playing.

On the golden sand, a young, beautiful woman in a bikini lay leisurely under a parasol. She had a full figure, perfect curves, and a magnificent chest. Occasionally, a few young men would pass by and blush.

She swirled the chilled coconut juice in her glass, feeling incredibly content. Her smile was exceptionally alluring, like a datura blooming in the snow—beautiful yet deadly.

Just then, a handsome barefoot man wearing beach shorts sat down next to the beautiful woman, handed her a bag, and smiled, "Yu Ling, the wet wipes and sunglasses you wanted are inside. You're several months pregnant now, so you should be more careful."

Seeing this, the young woman smiled, her pretty face instantly exuding charm, and exclaimed, "Brother Xu, you're so good to her! I really don't know how you ever fell for Xia Baiying, that woman. She's not even pretty, just a typical housewife, and she still wanted to marry you!"

Upon hearing this name, Xu Dong's expression changed slightly, and he frowned, saying, "Let's not talk about that woman. Back then, I was in the prime of my career, and my mind was focused on work. My intention was just to have some fun with her, but I never expected her to take it seriously."

"Brother Xu, stop thinking about her. Let bygones be bygones. Didn't you give her a house? Consider it feeding the fish."

Yu Ling feigned a smug smile, while inwardly she sneered, 'A country bumpkin like you dares to challenge me? Dreaming of climbing into high society? I'll send you to meet the King of Hell soon, and you can be reincarnated. Remember to be more discerning in your next life.'

The two chatted casually, and the scene was quite pleasant.

Xu Dong is now the chairman of a listed company group. He recently negotiated a project worth several hundred million yuan and needed to come to Magic City to discuss investment issues with his partners. The negotiations went smoothly, so the two of them came to this place for their honeymoon.

He's only around thirty years old now, and he's achieved both a successful career and a beautiful woman, making countless people green with envy.

Such an achievement—how many people dream of it?
