When a Wish Is Strong Enough... / No Gifts for the New Year This Time?

Furthermore, due to this incident, the Lu Family and various large and small forces in Jiangzhou City were subjected to a thorough investigation.

Last time, the Ling Family was also involved in the protection agency because of this incident, and they started to act timidly. Ling Yue's mother also had to face condemnation from the family's higher-ups, and Ling Luantian was almost driven to death by his wife.

As for Ling Yue? Because the incident happened to him, his family's status within the Ling Family plummeted, and they could only manage to reach the middle level, which was truly quite tragic.

Amidst this turmoil, the major families of Yanjing simply sat on the sidelines, watching the spectacle unfold. Their usual infighting is one thing, but for the Ling Family to dare plot against the Special Affairs Bureau? To assassinate Special-Grade Agent?

Who gave you the courage?

Is it Liang Jingru?

After exchanging a few more words about recent paranormal events, the two ended the call.

Ling Mengxue was scrolling through her phone, leaning against the wall of the corridor outside the classroom. Sunlight streamed down her feet, and a gentle breeze stirred her snow-white hair, making it dance like a graceful sprite. Her thoughts Youyou.

"I'll be accompanying Sister Xiao Xiao and the others to a singing and dancing competition in a few days, so we'll have to postpone our trip to Star Prefecture!"

"And what's this 'Star Engraving Alliance'? Is it something like the Magic Association? Are there a lot of Astral Mark Girl in it?" (C_C)

"But what does all this have to do with me?"

As I pondered, a familiar figure slowly walked from the other end of the corridor.

This person was Ye Yiren. She was often not at school, and had even transferred schools before. She had recently taken a long vacation to travel for a while, so she came to find someone on her way.

Today is Monday, and she came to school wearing her school uniform, white short socks, and sneakers. She looked even more youthful and beautiful, with a gentle and elegant demeanor. Her simple yet refreshing style added a touch of liveliness.

Ye Yiren walked to the classroom door, a hint of joy in her eyes, and casually called out, "Ling Feng, are you there? Brother Ling Feng? Little brother Ling Feng?"

She spoke quite loudly, loud enough to be heard even a floor away. Even Ling Mengxue, who was leaning against the corridor enjoying the breeze and daydreaming, was stunned. 'Shouting so loudly, as if you're afraid I won't recognize you?'

Liu Yinxuan immediately realized what was going on and quickly turned around. "Yi Ren? Are you here to see Ling Feng? But he's already transferred schools. Qiu Yun'er knows that, didn't she tell you?"

"Huh? You transferred schools?!" Ye Yiren was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh. "Uh, I don't remember."

Liu Yinxuan sighed helplessly, looked around, and suddenly smiled, pointing out the window, "Although Ling Feng isn't here, his sister is. You can ask her if you need anything~"

"Sister?" Ye Yiren was taken aback and immediately turned to look at the corridor outside the classroom. She met Ling Mengxue's gaze, and after a brief eye contact, she suddenly exclaimed.

"You are 'Star Dream Beneath the Moonlight'?!"

Ling Mengxue's lips twitched slightly. What the heck?

What moonlight?

What Star Dream?

"Have you heard my story?"

"Of course! You're the strongest Astral Mark Girl in Linzhou City!" Ye Yiren said in disbelief.

When she saw Ling Mengxue, it was as if she had met her long-admired idol; her beautiful eyes were filled with adoration.

"Oh? The strongest Astral Mark Girl ~ Then it must be me!" Ling Mengxue raised her eyebrows slightly, her face showing an indescribable confidence.

I have some kind of cheat code, a standard feature for a main character.

If I'm not the strongest, then who is?

"So, what brings you here, brother?"

"Something's happened, something important~" Ye Yiren smiled and said, "But are you really Ling Feng's sister? I've never heard him mention you before. Could it be that you're keeping her hidden away, afraid someone else will snatch her away?"

She looked puzzled, and seeing Ling Mengxue's expression begin to turn strange, she coughed lightly, "Okay, you might not know, but your brother and I are actually very close. We're even sworn brothers, practically ready to go through thick and thin together!"

Ling Mengxue's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and she frowned slightly. Was she really that close to him?

When did they become sworn brothers?

Is it in a dream?

Speak like a human.

"Actually, I wanted to invite your brother to go to Star Prefecture with me." Ye Yiren thought for a moment, then became more serious. Business was important, business was important~

Ling Mengxue nodded and said, "He has already agreed."

"??"

Seeing Ye Yiren's confused expression, Ling Mengxue's lips curled up slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her pure and lovely face. "Because you and your brother are brothers who have practiced martial arts together before~ Your brother will definitely agree~"

"??"

When her passive skill, "The Spring Breeze's Warmth," was activated, Ye Yiren was immediately stunned. That healing and comforting smile and that penetrating voice, so gentle and soothing, seemed to heal even the soul.

Ling Mengxue's cheeks flushed slightly as she fiddled with the red bow tie tied to her shirt, her heart pounding with unease. She was disgusted by her own actions; could this be the legendary... uh...

I just can't take it anymore!

But there's no way around it; it's all acting, and when it's time to act, you still have to act!

"Alright, Ye, class is about to start. I'll let you know..."

Please!

"..."

Volume 4 Witch's Diary - Star Prefecture Chapter

Chapter Nine: When the Desire is Strong Enough...

"Congratulations, students! Your results for this school festival and Jiangzhou study tour are in. You all ranked first in your grade in average score. Please keep up the good work, stay humble, and never forget your goals!"

As soon as the class teacher Liu Yan, announced the results of the study tour, the students in the classroom erupted in excitement, almost jumping up and down like grasshoppers on a hot plate.

This wasn't just about their achievements on the study tour; they put in a lot of effort and stole the show at the gardening gala. They won awards for all sorts of performances, big and small. The rehearsals and practice sessions before the event are still vivid in my mind. These are the results of their hard work!

The homeroom teacher smiled and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that our class's four students Liu Yinxuan, Tang Ling, Lan Yuxin, and Ling Mengxue, all got full marks on their study tour!"

Out of ten students in the eight classes across the entire grade who achieved perfect scores, four were from our class. Their performance at the gardening gala was also outstanding; one of their guzheng performances even won a special prize and was featured on the latest episode of a CCTV variety show, receiving praise from many renowned masters.

As the homeroom teacher continued, the students began to get excited.

"Teacher, we have so many goddess-level beauties in our class. I heard that quite a few masters have come to the school to take on disciples. Is that true?" Liu Hai, sitting in the first row, shouted out first.

Snap--!!

"Is that even a question?!" Zhao Lei slammed his hand on the table, frowning. "Didn't you see that huge convoy of cars at the school gate this morning? It almost blocked the whole street! Don't believe me? Ask the students who arrived at school late!"

"I remember even the principal and vice-principal went out to greet them; they seem to be in the VIP room now."

"I saw it too!!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, students, quiet down for a moment." The homeroom teacher patted the desk, her expression becoming stern. "You're all right. Our school has the most students compared to other schools, even rivaling Blue Sky High School, and we've earned the appreciation of the city leaders."

However, I hope that you will prioritize your studies in the time ahead. You are all senior high school students, and there are only a little over a hundred days left until the college entrance examination. Your future success in getting into a good university will depend on your efforts...

After hearing this, the students fell silent. They hadn't yet entered society, and often didn't think that far ahead; they just wanted to live in the present, learn well in the present, and cherish the moment. Only a few had made plans long ago.

Under the influence of Zhao Ping, Zhao Lei, and even Su Yun, Yuwen had previously considered embarking on this arduous and mysterious magical path with them.

But all of this was too unrealistic for him. It was difficult and confusing. So he decided to follow his family's arrangements, study at Blue Sky Business College, and have a smooth journey so that he could inherit the family business or even start his own company, thus avoiding many detours.

This way, you'll achieve success in the future, whether it's getting married and having children, or pursuing a career.

The only thing that Yuwen regrets is that Su Yun once talked to him, hoping that he could embark on the apprenticeship journey of magic or Star Engraving with her. Su Yun also respects his choice and does not try to persuade him otherwise.

Hmm~ she only said that because she's a friend~ *^_^*

Yuwen simply smiled and shook his head, because he knew how vast the gap was between the chosen ones and ordinary people. He might as well just give up. "My parents have arranged a blind date for me. It's the daughter of one of my dad's business partners. She's a really nice girl, and I agreed..."

These were the last words Su Yun heard him say, so after the school festival, she could only leave Central Prefecture with a touch of regret, transferring to a high school in Star Prefecture to prepare for the Star Engraving Alliance's assessment. That would be a new Qidian in her life, and her parents were very supportive...

After the first class, under the arrangement of the homeroom teacher, Ling Mengxue, Lan Yuxin, and the other three went to the guest room to chat and laugh with the principal, school leaders, and masters and professors from the music academy.

Many renowned guqin Grandmaster extended offers to them, but apart from Liu Yinxuan who expressed interest in applying, Tang Ling, Lan Yuxin, and Ling Mengxue were too busy to accept and had to politely decline one by one.

You can't force yourself to become a musician just because you don't like the art form, can you?

It's better to choose something that suits your taste.

At lunchtime, Ling Mengxue originally planned to stay in the cafeteria for lunch, but then she thought, what if the two young ladies were still waiting for her at home?

Today is Monday, they must be working or studying too, right?

With so many beautiful young ladies in the Magic Association, they must all be very busy, right?

Have you completed the four daily commission tasks?

I wonder if we could hire some workers from the community to improve task efficiency?

"If a person's desire is strong enough, they can change the direction of the wind, the size of objects, and even the color of the sky..."

"I didn't quite believe it before, but now I understand. The reason why those who don't believe can't change anything is because their desire isn't strong enough!"

Ling Mengxue walked confidently down the street on her way home. Her eyes narrowed into slits, her bright, clear pupils sparkling like stars. Her gaze pierced the long, straight road, finally landing on a few fruit stands near the traffic lights... Her expression faltered slightly...

She subconsciously smoothed her long hair at her temples, an extremely casual gesture. Her delicate collarbone made her look like a work of art—or perhaps, she herself was a work of art?

In short, the students around them were all stunned, and some of the female students were even somewhat infatuated.

"Huh?" Ling Mengxue was thinking when she noticed the strange looks from the people around her. She didn't pay any attention to it, as she was used to going out with Lan Yuxin and the others.

As she walked slowly along the road, the question of her 'wish' was still troubling her...

But as her eyes sparkled and she moved, her classmates felt a little captivated. Some boys even thought that they would be willing to die if she just glanced at them!

What kind of mentality is that?!

Wearing a school uniform, everyone can naturally recognize her as a girl from our school. I first saw her on the forum, and then again on a utility pole!

At a fruit stand on Thirty-Meter Street, Luo Xiyan was leisurely selecting some fruit, chatting happily with the elderly stall owner from time to time.

When Ling Mengxue saw them, a sudden thought struck her. "Wait a minute, I think I've got it now?"

"When a person's desire is strong enough, a purple exclamation mark will appear above their head, and then a silly blond boy will come running to help you!"

"Just remind me to prepare ten sparkling diamonds as a reward; you don't need to do it yourself."

"It should... it should be quite reasonable, right?"

[img=700,1358]htt Phew, I've been watching Li Jiayu lately, wondering if anyone knows her~☆

Chapter Ten: No gifts this Chinese New Year?

"Little girl, haven't you decided what fruit you want to buy yet?"

The old woman looked at Luo Xiyan with a smile, her two slender eyebrows resembling inverted parentheses, giving her a very kind expression.

Luo Xiyan smiled and shook her head. Just then, Ling Mengxue arrived, so she went over and pulled her over. "Xiaoxue, you choose. I don't eat much fruit and I don't know how to pick."

Ling Mengxue was stunned. She hadn't expected Xi Yan to actually come all the way here to wait for her, and she felt a little touched.

It's just picking out some fruit, right? Just choose whatever you like, why make it so complicated?

"Grandma, is your watermelon guaranteed to be ripe?"

The old woman smiled kindly. "I run a fruit stand. Would I sell you raw melons?"

He pointed to a watermelon on a nearby stall that had been cut in half and wrapped in plastic wrap; it was indeed full of bright red flesh.

"Are those mangoes sweet?" Ling Mengxue glanced at a box of large green mangoes next to her. They weren't from Hainan, and she didn't want to eat them.

The old woman squinted, a warm smile always on her face. She'd been in the fruit business for a long time and knew one thing well: to retain customers, you had to advertise effectively. "Guangxi's large green mangoes, thick-fleshed, thin-skinned and fiber-free, even the elderly love them! Great for your health! Mango TV endorses you!"

"..."

Ling Mengxue's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "Help me carry ten pounds of durian, thank you~" (^_^)ノ
