A New Phone! / Unresolved Thoughts...

New Phone!

Ling Feng found a small grove to cancel his transformation before returning home.

He found that Ling Xiaoyu and Ling Wanqing were gone again.

Forget it, whatever. Today's biggest gain was this, anyway!

Ling Feng happily took out the new touchscreen phone he had bought.

After leaving Lin Ruoxi's house, Ling Feng went to the nearest bank, withdrew some money, and combined it with the huge "fortune" he had on him to successfully buy it.

During the process, Ling Feng did not realize that because of her, traffic in the New City District had been paralyzed.

Ling Feng's response was that they had walked into utility poles because they were not watching where they were going.

Why were they looking at her instead of watching the road while driving?

It was seriously speechless.

Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly.

Ling Feng inserted the SIM card. The moment the phone turned on, it began ringing madly with ding! ding! ding! sounds.

She nearly failed to hold onto it. If it had fallen onto the ground, Ling Feng would have felt like dying.

When she opened the screen, there was a huge pile of missed calls, text messages, and more.

There were messages from Qiu Yun'er, Zhao Ping and the others, Ling Xiaoyu and Ling Wanqing, and even Lin Ruoxi.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng called Qiu Yun'er directly. After all, she had stood her up, so she still needed to apologize properly.

"Hello? Is this Ling Feng?"

"Qiu, I'm sorry. Something came up and I had to leave. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you later."

"It's fine, it's fine. A major client at the bar just ran into some trouble. I heard seven or eight people collapsed in one of the private rooms, and it even alerted the boss. I don't know what happened, but that big client apparently doesn't plan to pursue it either. Looks like he's planning to settle it privately. Anyway, it's good that you're okay."

As Ling Feng listened to Qiu Yun'er through the phone, she began to suspect something as well.

That Young Master Li definitely would not let her off. He was probably preparing to retaliate in secret.

But with Ling Feng's strength, there was nothing to worry about. If he dared to come after her, Ling Feng would not mind making those people lie in bed for ten days to half a month.

Seeing that it was still early, Ling Feng downloaded some commonly used apps and added everyone she knew on WeChat.

Less than five minutes later, Ling Feng received a huge flood of messages.

[Qiu Yun'er: Ling Feng has WeChat now?! Then we can chat slowly from now on!]

[Ling Xiaoyu: Xiaofeng? Are you home? I told you to take the fifty thousand before, but you wouldn't. How did you already buy a phone now? Oh well, the breakfast you made this morning was pretty good~ As expected of my good little brother!]

[Zhao Ping: Brother Feng, awesome! Did you save up by skimping on food and drink? We agreed to play ranked at the internet café today, but you didn't come and didn't answer your phone either. Are we even brothers? Let's queue together tomorrow, asshole!]

[Yuwen: Xiaofeng, are you free tomorrow? Want to come train at the internet café?]

[Ling Wanqing: Xiaofeng finally agreed to buy a phone? We wanted to give you several before, but you refused them all. Xiaoyu and I are at the amusement park right now. We were originally thinking we could come together today, but you disappeared early in the morning. Anyway, thank you for breakfast, Brother! Let's go out and have fun together next time!]

[Lin Ruoxi: I-Is this Ling Feng? Why did you suddenly leave? I used the medicine you gave me on my mother, and the effect was unbelievably good. I even took her to the hospital for a checkup, and somehow all the cancer cells had died. It's incredible! When school starts next semester, I'll come find you in your class!]

[Tang Xiaohua: Yo, Ling Feng, not bad. You even bought a phone.]

[Liu Yinxuan: Ling, I'm sending you our class group chat. Remember to join it~]

[Lan Yuxin: Xiaofeng, I seriously reflected on things. Can we start over?]

[Su Xiaoxiao: Duskfall! You added me on WeChat?! I'm so happy! In a few days, I can come to Linzhou to see you! Don't forget, okay~]

[Luo Xiyan: WeChat Red Packet Transfer 1.5? Please accept it.]

Ling Feng scrolled through the messages with a bit of a headache.

She did not even know how to reply.

And this transfer of one yuan and fifty cents...

It was fucking ridiculous...

[Confirm!]

When Ling Feng tapped it, a red packet interface suddenly popped up on the phone.

A gold coin in the middle spun several times in succession.

[Ding! WeChat payment received notification! 1.5 yuan!]

(,,#?Д?)!!

Unresolved Thoughts

"Xiaoyu, should we bring Xiaofeng some late-night snacks later?"

"Sure. Pick whatever you want to buy."

After leaving the amusement park, Ling Xiaoyu and Ling Wanqing headed straight for the mall and night market.

There were all kinds of snacks, and they carried large and small bags of clothes.

As long as Ling Wanqing wanted something, Ling Xiaoyu would satisfy her.

When people on the street saw the two beautiful women, their eyes practically never left them.

Most importantly, there were no boyfriends beside them. Letting beauties like that slip away before their eyes would be a huge mistake.

As a result, there were countless people striking up conversations and asking for their WeChat accounts. Although Ling Xiaoyu could easily handle them every time, she grew annoyed after it happened too often.

Upon reaching Zhongmin Baihui Mall, Ling Wanqing happily ran off to buy Kendeya for Ling Feng.

After Ling Wanqing left, Ling Xiaoyu walked alone onto the overpass.

The overpass was simple yet beautiful. Beneath it, vehicles of all sizes and shapes streamed continuously by, driving in orderly lines.

People came and went in a bustling crowd, while traffic flowed endlessly and the streets were packed with people.

Whenever the beautiful, tranquil night descended, the sounds of cars and people, together with the streetlights lining the roads, ignited the passion of Linzhou.

A gentle breeze brushed against Ling Xiaoyu's beautiful face and swept through her soft hair, giving her an indescribably graceful and naturally elegant air.

Ling Xiaoyu was wearing the dress Ling Feng had given her for her birthday the year before. It was also her favorite dress.

Underneath was a pure white shirt with a bow, while over it she wore a light blue jacket similar to a JK uniform, along with a pure white pleated skirt.

Ling Xiaoyu wore it with a distinctive elegance. It had to be said that Ling Feng had good taste.

Her long legs wrapped in black stockings further accentuated Ling Xiaoyu's perfect figure.

Although Ling Feng had never said anything, Ling Xiaoyu knew that he had bought it with the money he had saved over an entire semester.

Ling Xiaoyu liked Ling Feng, but she had never said so. All she could do was care for him in everyday life, cook for him, and tidy up around the house.

"I wonder if Xiaofeng will hate me after he learns the truth..."

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaoyu felt flustered for the first time, as though something important was about to leave her side.

Ling Xiaoyu calmly gazed at the boundless horizon. The night was black as ink, and through the lights, faint stars could be seen in the night sky.

"Come out. There's no need to hide. You've been following us for so long. Did you think I wouldn't know?"

Suddenly, Ling Xiaoyu spoke in an icy tone.

There was clearly no one around her, yet her gaze never shifted, as though the enemy hidden in the darkness posed no threat to her at all, whether she dealt with them or not.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

For a moment, even the temperature of the air seemed to freeze. Then a series of quick footsteps rang out.

"Oh my, it's just that President Ling had a little girl with her the whole time. I couldn't alert the enemy, so I could only wait slowly for an opportunity."

Out of the darkness, a loli wearing a black-stocking skirt suit flashed into view.

She had learned this Shadow Stealth magic from Ling Xiaoyu herself. Of course she would be discovered.

The girl was named Ling Luoluo, known throughout the circles as Luoluo the Little Genius! She was one of Ling Xiaoyu's right-hand assistants as president of the Linzhou Magic Association.

Ling Luoluo usually handled miscellaneous matters, so she was generally bored out of her mind.

The main reason was that Ling Xiaoyu did not want to give her overly dangerous missions. With her intelligence, Ling Xiaoyu was afraid that she would be tricked away by someone the moment she turned right after leaving the building.

"Why aren't you staying at the association? What are you doing here? This month's bonus is gone."

Ling Xiaoyu said this somewhat angrily. Ling Luoluo immediately panicked, dropped to her knees, hugged Ling Xiaoyu's leg, and burst into tears the next second.

"Wuwuwu~ No, Xiaoyu! Madam President, I was wrong! Please don't deduct my bonus! I still want to go to Hawaii this year! I want to eat delicious food, drink delicious things, and have fun too! Without my bonus, I won't be able to live!"

A Severe Chuunibyou Patient?

"Forget it. What do you need me for? Don't tell me you caused trouble again and want me to clean up your mess?"

Ling Xiaoyu composed herself and said it casually, her words carrying a trace of concern that was difficult to notice.

It was as though she had anticipated that Ling Luoluo had come to find her only because of this matter.

"What? Do I only know how to cause trouble in Madam President's eyes? Even if I really encountered something, is there anything that Luoluo the Little Genius can't solve? Hmph!"

Ling Luoluo proudly patted her small chest. Though it was flat, the smile on her face really made Ling Xiaoyu reluctant to ruin her mood.

"You don't need to be so formal outside. Just call me whatever you usually do."

"Okay!"

Ling Luoluo happily answered, then began reporting on work.

"It's like this, Xiaoyu. Didn't you take the college entrance exams a few days ago? Someone from the Imperial Capital Magic Association delivered a letter. Since you weren't there, it could only be temporarily kept at the association."

"At the time, Miss Luo said this matter was very important and that the letter absolutely had to be handed to you personally. But you still hadn't returned, so I came looking for you."

Ling Luoluo spoke in a "rigorous" tone.

Then, after rummaging through the bag hanging at her waist for quite a while, she finally took out an exquisitely wrapped envelope.

"This is it, hehehe~"

To ensure that information would not be intercepted or leaked, the Magic Association used this safer method.

A High Tier magical seal had been placed on the envelope. Even if someone really took it away, they would not be able to open it. Not even the messenger knew what it contained.

In truth, Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girls were very few in number. A school having two or three was already pretty good. As for Dragon Soaring High School, where Ling Feng attended? That was purely an exception!

It was very close to the Magic Association branch in Linzhou Old City District, the first stronghold Ling Xiaoyu had established in Linzhou, so she usually gave it extra attention.

Ling Xiaoyu opened the letter, gave it a rough glance, then directly burned it into ashes with magical flames.

Ling Xiaoyu's gaze remained calm and undisturbed before finally turning into a soft sigh.

The Destiny Sign countdown had ended, and the final third major faction had appeared: the Dark Girls. Also known as Hell Girls, Demon-Crazed Girls, Evil Girls, and so on, they were a group of chuunibyou idiots who wielded dark magic. And now they actually wanted to rule the world??

That Hell Girl in Xingzhou City had been tied up and taken away by two Astral Mark Girls some time ago. There was no helping it—she had caused massive destruction to the city in a very short time.

The Magic Association and the Star Engraving Alliance could not allow the government to take them away for experiments, so the layers of secret protection they had set up allowed Destiny Sign holders to act freely.

Those Dark Girls were really just a bunch of little girls who had not even grown up yet.

According to the Magic Association's investigation, every one of them was a severe chuunibyou patient, and they also had unknown peculiarities.

A Magical Girl who had once investigated them explained that every Dark Girl liked doing **** things to Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girls! It was too shameful! Too awful!

The moment that investigating Magical Girl thought of the Magical Girl she had previously seen being **** by them, her scalp went numb and her face flushed red, as though she had remembered something too indescribable to mention.

There was no choice. The Magic Association could only issue an announcement saying that they were sick!

And that was indeed the truth. Every one of them was a severe chuunibyou patient! They needed to learn to understand one another.

Ling Xiaoyu told Ling Luoluo to leave first. She herself had only taken two steps after turning around when Ling Wanqing came out as well.

Ling Xiaoyu still had many matters that required her attention.

To prevent a potential crisis, the Magic Academy had long since passed national approval.

Because there were relatively few Magical Girls and Astral Mark Girls, even after it was established, there would probably only be enough members for one class.

That was already considered good. Some places did not even have a single one.

There was still no news at all from the Star Engraving Alliance. It was enough to drive anyone crazy!
