After Becoming Enemies with Magical Girls, They Started Pursuing Me: Chapter 2

You had to know, if they had fallen into the hands of other Astral Mark Executors, hehe, even if they didn't die, they'd be stripped of a layer of skin!

By the Law of Destiny, Astral Mark Girls and Magical Girls were mortal enemies!

Though they generally wouldn't take each other's lives out of humanity, such incidents had truly happened before! The Destiny Sign would erase all information about that person from the world; even the police would be useless!

Yet they clearly showed no fear, because they knew Ling Feng wouldn't do anything to them.

"Stand properly!" Ling Feng shouted angrily. At his words, the three girls swiftly lined up, and none of them dared speak again.

"What do you have to say?"

"We'll never do it again," the three answered in unison.

After hearing that, Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then his gaze suddenly turned to Tang Ling, who stood off to the side, and he said coldly.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Tang Ling's body trembled violently. "I..."

"Alright, hurry home. You still have class tomorrow. Don't ever do this again."

They had thought they were about to receive another scolding from Ling Feng, but his tone softened with his next sentence.

After saying that, Ling Feng ignored the three of them. His figure flashed, moving at incredible speed, and he vanished from their sight in an instant.

"Phew." Only after Ling Feng left did everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Sister Meng is such a good person, unlike those other Astral Mark Girls."

"Mm-hmm, she didn't even take our points."

Illusory Voice and Illusory Xin nodded together in agreement, while Illusory Spirit merely snorted indignantly.

"Hmph, she's just a little prettier and stronger than me! That slut!"

A New Day☆

Early the next morning, Ling Feng went to set up his street stall. Although their parents sent money home every month, that little allowance was obviously not enough to cover the siblings' expenses.

"Xiaofeng, you're here. So early today too? It hasn't been easy for you two siblings."

"Hehe, it's for making a living," Ling Feng replied.

The middle-aged man speaking with Ling Feng was Uncle Wang, his neighbor. Everyone usually called him Old Wang. He had been the one to suggest setting up a stall, and he sometimes helped Ling Feng and his sister out as well.

Uncle Wang had been a bachelor all his life, with no wife or children. He had struggled alone until now, and Ling Feng admired him quite a bit. Poor Ling Feng had to fool around with that group of little girls every day—what kind of behavior was that?

Linzhou City appeared peaceful on the surface, but the Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girls in the shadows were gradually entering the public eye. Some Magical Girls had even debuted as idol celebrities.

Every one of them was glamorous and eye-catching. Their looks alone were no worse than those of second- or third-tier celebrities, and energetic young girls were especially popular on the market. They only needed to follow the Magical Girl Association's rules and refrain from revealing themselves publicly.

"Boss, one tea egg."

"One fifty."

"Here."

"Come again next time~"

Ling Feng carefully accepted the money and quickly put it away. Though he was an Astral Mark Girl, the points he earned couldn't be exchanged for cash, so he didn't care much about them.

Dragon Soaring High School ranked among the top five schools in Linzhou City, and it even had quite a few clubs. Just a few days ago, someone had founded the Magical Girl Club, leaving Ling Feng utterly dumbfounded.

And people had actually joined it! What the hell, did they really have to be so blatant?

Fortunately, most students only thought they were cosplaying anime characters or something.

After packing up, Ling Feng closed his stall. If he stayed any later, he would be late again.

The classroom was bustling with excitement as the students discussed recent interesting topics: where they planned to go during the Spring Festival, preparing for final exams, and even Magical Girls!

"Hey, I saw a Magical Girl a few days ago!" a boy said excitedly.

"Tch, you've watched too much anime. You actually believe in that stuff?"

"It's real! I saw her riding a magic staff over my house with my own eyes."

"Oh, give it a rest."

The boy wanted to argue further, but after thinking about it, he felt they had a point. If he hadn't seen it himself, he wouldn't have believed it even if someone beat him to death.

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a handsome young man in black clothes and a white shirt suddenly walked in.

Though some students noticed him, most only glanced at him before lowering their heads and continuing their conversations. Only a few girls stared a little longer.

Ling Feng put down his backpack and sat at the last desk in the first row, tucked into the corner by the window.

After taking his seat, he reached into the drawer, pulled the dozens of love letters hidden under the desk onto the tabletop, and only then took out his books.

"Ling Feng, I'm suffering so much. That slut bullied me again last night."

Tang Ling sat beside Ling Feng, slumped over her desk and groaning miserably. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft. If they hadn't been seated right in the classroom corner, the whole class probably would have heard her.

Tang Ling was also considered one of the class's great beauties, and she often received love letters too. She and Ling Feng would even compete over who received more letters, with the loser treating the other to a meal.

But most of the time, Ling Feng hid some of his letters away, letting him mooch a few extra meals. Hehe!

Ling Feng pretended to be surprised. "The Astral Mark Girl named Ling Mengxue you keep talking about?"

"That's right. I'll definitely surpass her, but she's seriously amazing! I refuse to accept it! Why is she, a girl, so cool in a fight and so pretty too? Heaven must be jealous of my talent! That's it! It has to be!"

Tang Ling muttered to herself, then instantly returned to being the lively, energetic girl she normally was.

The name Ling Mengxue hadn't been chosen by Ling Feng himself. It had been inscribed on the Destiny Sign. Ordinary Magical Girls generally had their own codenames as well.

Tang Ling's was Illusory Spirit, but they usually just called her by name. There was no need to make things so troublesome.

Ling Feng needed to conceal his identity, so he could conveniently use it directly.

Actually, Ling Feng hadn't originally been called Ling Feng. His old name had been too feminine, and he couldn't accept it. He had often been mocked by his classmates because of it, so he later forced his parents to change it. As for what it had been, even he refused to reveal it.

It was "Ling Meng."

The Destiny Sign was also known as the Mark of Destiny. It was divided into the Mark of Magic and the Astral Mark. Once obtained, it displayed which faction you belonged to. Whether magic or astral, once you were chosen, then... hehe...

Faced with Tang Ling's question, Ling Feng was momentarily speechless.

How could he possibly tell Tang Ling that he was that Astral Mark Girl? If she found out, wouldn't she play him to death?

Seeing the stack of love letters on Ling Feng's desk, Tang Ling suddenly smiled and reached over to snatch them away.

"Hehe, need me to read them for you? There are no fewer today than yesterday."

"Uh, do whatever you want."

Point Exchange☆☆

When school let out at noon, Ling Feng saw Tang Ling and the other Magical Girls gathered together again. Wondering whether they were about to stir up trouble once more, he prepared to leave quickly.

At that moment, Lan Yuxin's gaze swept over and met Ling Feng's as he walked toward her. Ling Feng gave a faint smile, but just as he was about to leave the classroom, she blocked him with one hand, exactly as expected.

"Classmate Ling Feng, if you still refuse to be my boyfriend, you're not getting out that door today."

"Classmate Lan, you're a good person, but we aren't suitable for each other. Besides, a forcibly twisted melon isn't sweet."

"But it can quench your thirst."

"Freedom, democracy, civility, harmony..."

Off to the side, Tang Ling and Liu Yinxuan listened to their conversation with heads three sizes too big. Look at them—was this really something carbon-based lifeforms could say?

Ever since Ling Feng rejected Lan Yuxin's confession in front of a dog last time, Lan Yuxin had completely declared war on him, because she firmly believed that Magical Girls never gave up easily!

From that day onward, Lan Yuxin had tried countless methods.

Sultry glances, breathtaking charm, tender affection, seductive allure, graceful elegance, sexy temptation—she had tried every style imaginable. Unfortunately, this blockhead simply refused to get it. Once, she had nearly stripped naked, and he still hadn't reacted at all!

"Stop!"

Just as Ling Feng was caught in a difficult situation, a beautiful girl in a school uniform rushed to the doorway in an incredibly dramatic pose and grabbed the edge of the door with one hand.

The girl was exceptionally beautiful, not at all inferior to Tang Ling and the others. Her limpid eyes were deeply moving, but she currently wore an angry expression as she raised a hand and pointed at Tang Ling's group.

"You shameless Magical Girls actually dare make a move on Classmate Ling Feng! Classmate Ling Feng belongs to everyone!"

"Huh?" Even Ling Feng himself was confused this time. What did she mean, he belonged to everyone? Was he public property or something?

Still, thoughts were only thoughts. Taking advantage of both sides' inattention, Ling Feng turned and ran for the exit. Lan Yuxin, seeing this, stomped her feet in fury.

"She's Qiu Yun'er from the next class. I remember she's on the Astral Mark side," Liu Yinxuan, standing nearby, reminded them.

"Enough nonsense! If you dare lay a hand on Classmate Ling Feng, I won't let you off so easily!"

After saying that, Qiu Yun'er raised her hand and pulled out an Astral Mark Necklace similar to Ling Feng's from within a patch of snowy white. There were still slight differences between Astral Mark Necklaces, and Qiu Yun'er's Astral Mark was violet.

Without any hesitation, a streak of purple light followed her gesture through the air before circling back to the necklace on her body.

"O night that represents the stars and moon! Astral Mark That Ends Darkness!"

"Hey! This is school, watch what you're doing!"

Tang Ling's group immediately panicked at the sight. This bitch was clearly a lunatic who didn't care about the consequences!

But they had no time to worry about that now. If school hadn't already ended and the students had all left, then if anyone saw this, they wouldn't be able to clear their names even by jumping into the Yellow River!

Driven by the Magical Girls' battle instincts, the three of them also took out their transformation key necklaces, bracelets, badges...

"O key that hides the power of stars, reveal your true power before me. Form the sacred contract with me now—release the seal that has been dormant for so long!

"O key that hides the power of light, reveal your true power before me! In the name of your master, I **command you—seal release!"

"Beautiful Sailor Moon warrior of love and justice, Sailor Moon!"

One transformation chant after another rang out, and a fierce battle was about to erupt!

"..."

Crash!

Ling Feng had just run downstairs when he heard the sound of window glass shattering above him in the school building. Shards rained down from above, scattering across the ground. What if they hit someone? This was a school, for crying out loud!

With no other choice, Ling Feng hurriedly spent his remaining points to exchange for a Magical Guardian Barrier item, isolating the entire school building from the outside world.

The barrier could block sounds, magic, bullets, and everything else. It was an item anyone could exchange for, but almost no one was willing to waste points on it unless they had no choice.

In truth, points were mainly used to exchange for those pretty outfits. Ling Feng had heard that those clothes came with buff bonuses, but he had never believed it.

That was probably just a shop for girls to change clothes and put together outfits.

There were hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of clothing styles inside! And they were all women's clothing. Ling Feng remembered black gothic outfits, Lolita styles, JK uniforms, sailor uniforms, hanfu, kimono, bunny girl outfits, maid uniforms, princess dresses, and more...

A-line skirts, ruffled skirts, paneled skirts, pleated skirts, accordion skirts, tiered skirts—countless clothing categories extended endlessly! It had almost everything in the world, including things that didn't even exist! Stockings, bras, panties, hair accessories, menstrual pads, luxurious jewelry—if you could think of it, it was there!

In short, Ling Feng only wanted to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

"They'll use magic to restore everything afterward, so I'd better not join in the fun."

There were Restoration Crystals in the Point Exchange Shop of the Destiny Sign, but don't get excited too soon. They only worked on damage caused by Destiny Sign holders; otherwise, those girls would have long used them to ***.

Maid Café or Catgirl Café

Faced with the chaos caused by those people, Ling Feng could only say he was powerless. Though Qiu Yun'er could be considered his companion, perhaps? Still, Ling Feng told himself not to meddle in other people's business!

His Astral Mark Necklace trembled slightly, seemingly sensing the battle nearby. Ling Feng carried his backpack and hurried through the school gates. He felt that if he watched any longer, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist transforming!

It only took a little over twenty minutes to walk home from school.

Then Ling Feng remembered that it was Friday, and he immediately shuddered. Other students all looked forward to the weekend, but he felt a little uneasy instead. As for why? To him, it was even more embarrassing than transforming into an Astral Mark Girl!

Most days, going home was no different from usual, but Ling Feng was especially cautious today. He tried not to make a sound as he walked, inching forward step by step before carefully pushing open the door.

Though he had been as careful as possible, the moment he stepped inside, a clear, lovely voice came from the kitchen, making him curse inwardly, Damn it!

"Xiaofeng, you're back."

Ling Feng didn't react at first. He had clearly been so careful, so how had she discovered him? Did she have a third eye or something?

Now that he had been discovered, Ling Feng could only obediently answer. It wasn't until mealtime that Ling Xiaoyu happily invited him to the table. Seeing the smile in her narrowed eyes, Ling Feng knew he wouldn't be able to escape again this weekend. People with narrowed eyes were all monsters!

"Xiaofeng, you get to choose this time. Are we going to a maid café or a catgirl café?"
