No Lying Through Your Teeth with Your Eyes Wide Open!! / This Food Better Not Be Freaking Poisoned!

"I really miss it."

Mu Xi slapped a notebook in front of her, then closed her laptop and said with a smile, "However, if you ever call me an old man again, you might not have a good ending~ Don't you know who's the old man? I'm only nineteen this year, still a kid!"

"Ah... yes, yes, Master, you're all right!" Feeling the chill in the air, Shu Momo trembled in fright, her smile froze, and she immediately jumped off the table.

"Alright, is everything ready? Don't be left without anything when you do your homework later." Mu Xi closed the shop door and said lazily, like a mature woman who had just woken up, with a hint of coquettishness in her expression.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've brought everything I need, hehe." Shu Momo was full of confidence. She took out a large backpack from her Destiny Space and prepared to follow her master to the laboratory.

Although she belongs to the original group of Magical Girls, her own magical problems are actually quite serious, which is why she is still stuck at the Low Tier.

Their world's 'Primordial Magic' is rather crude and rudimentary, and it's quite complicated to use. It often requires drawing arrays, making sacrifices, and reciting a bunch of messy incantations to use it, which is incredibly troublesome and incomparable to the magic of this world.

This is similar to the difference between cities and rural areas; cities are simply more developed.

But what could she do?

Let's learn it all again!

Shu Momo shook her head and shrugged, pursing her cute little lips with a helpless smile on her face, as if she had already seen through the mundane world.

In fact, after becoming Magical Girls, more than half of her magical skills were learned from others or acquired for free.

As for the points, aside from those added to her talent points, she used all the rest to exchange for cultivation pills like the 'Spirit-Gathering Pill'.

After hundreds of years, she has only just broken through to the sixth level of the Gene Lock. However, it should be quite easy for her to fight the Astral Mark Girl in the Origin Transformation Realm now.

"Oh right, Master, didn't you say you found me a study partner? Where is she?" Shu Momo suddenly remembered something and asked.

"I did find one, but they didn't have time. They just came to deliver a package and left." Mu Xi took out some medicine-making materials, smiled lazily, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

Shu Momo had never seen her with that expression before.

I was instantly delighted!

"Hehe, Master, she doesn't give Magical Witch any face, how can you let her go?"

"Mo Mo, what's wrong with your thinking? No wonder Fang Zi told me you actually tried to kidnap the little princess of the Star Engraving Camp. You're practically a bandit. I was absolutely right to warn you about that." Mu Xi turned her head and glared at her, unable to even maintain her smile!

"I don't know what I was thinking either. What's wrong with a little elf wanting to go home? Is it too much to ask a princess to kidnap her?"

Shu Momo gently covered her cheeks with her two small hands, feeling her face flush and hot; even her translucent earlobes turned red.

Sigh~ Our storyline is quite long, and there's a lot I want to write about. Actually, I haven't missed any of the minor characters, but because the world-building is so vast, there are still many characters with relatively few scenes. I'll just have to take it slow~

[img=700,700]htt Chapter Sixty-Seven: No Lying Through Your Mouth!!

"Forget it, this lady doesn't even want to talk anymore."

Mu Xi sighed softly, then had Shu Momo move a bunch of oddly shaped reagent bottles to the table, muttering to herself, "But as long as it doesn't affect the fate line, kidnapping someone isn't out of the question..."

"After all... who doesn't like a treasure chest?"

"At worst, you can just offer me a salary when you apply, right?"

There were only two people in the lab. Although Mu Xi's voice wasn't loud, Shu Momo still heard her. A surge of joy filled her, and she turned around, smiling broadly, and said, "In that case, Master, why don't you go and bring her over? My friends and I can't beat her!"

"What are you saying? That's not ladylike at all." Mu Xi crossed her arms and stared intently at her profile, which was flushed and very delicate. She continued, "Although I've heard that the princess of the Star Engraving Alliance has gone missing, aren't all the princesses in their Princess Camp stunningly beautiful? At least they're at the Holy Temple Tier, right?"

"No, no, no, she was only at the Origin Transformation Realm when we last met!" Shu Momo quickly waved her hand, her face full of certainty. "We even attended the Idol Song-and-Dance Gala together!"

Mu Xi was somewhat suspicious. Her originally languid and gentle face became serious, and her eyes showed surprise. "Do you have a photo? But how is this possible? The other two princesses have already reached the highest level, at least at the Hall-tier level, while the one from the Star Engraving Camp is only below the Middle Tier. Could it really be like what's written in the magic book, an ultimate support character?"

"Look, see."

Shu Momo thought for a moment, took out her phone, pressed a button, and immediately revealed her lock screen wallpaper!

Mu Xi hadn't paid much attention at first, but after glancing at it casually, she suddenly stopped and quickly took the phone to check it.

She was very familiar with the girl on the screen; her exquisite and beautiful face, her snow-white hair, her pure and lovely demeanor—she was definitely one of the most beautiful girls she had ever seen.

The girl wore a traditional Chinese Lolita princess dress with a sky-blue lining and white lace. She also had her hair in a bun with two long pink ribbons hanging down her shoulders, snow-white cotton stockings, and a pair of delicate pink sneakers.

Her fair skin was as gentle and smooth as jade, crystal clear, more beautiful and radiant than the clearest crystal. Her ice-blue eyes were as blue as water, seemingly possessing a special magic that captivated and enchanted people.

The corners of her small mouth turned up slightly, forming a beautiful curve.

What kind of confidence is that?

Helplessness? Joy? Embarrassment? A heartfelt sigh?

Um... it's all very complicated...

However, thinking of the girl who delivered the package not long ago, Mu Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She handed the phone back, reverting to her ladylike demeanor, feeling that things were getting interesting.

He's actually pretending to be Magical Girls in front of her?

"Master, how is it? I feel like you've met me before!" Shu Momo asked excitedly, her eyes shining.

"Is that Miss Ling Mengxue? She's the one who delivered the package yesterday~" Mu Xi smiled gently, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

If that's the case, then my best friend and confidante must know about the Star Engraving Camp princess's situation.

After all, what could possibly escape the notice of a master prophet of Hall-tier?

Fang Zi definitely knew, but she didn't say anything.

Could it be that you've already secretly won her over?

Why didn't you share the points with your best friend?

Otherwise, why would they travel such a long way to deliver packages?

I've decided, next time I go to a coffee shop I'm definitely going to talk about the issue of human rights "transfer"!

However, upon hearing her words, Shu Momo's expression turned to surprise, her mouth agape. "Yesterday? Doesn't that mean Mengxue came over the day after the concert ended? Isn't she still a high school student? Just to deliver a package? Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't you a high school student yourself?" Mu Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead, feeling like she had forgotten something.

Shu Momo suddenly realized, her eyes shining as she nodded, "That seems to be it!"

"Alright, alright, let's get started. If you don't tell me, I'll think you're trying to slack off."

Mu Xi didn't think much of it, took out an empty bottle and handed it to Shu Momo: "The Elf's Tears are all used up, cry out a little more."

"Huh? I didn't bring any onions today." Shu Momo said, looking surprised and somewhat bewildered.

"It's okay, let's take a more direct approach." Mu Xi stood up with a smile, took the latter's hand, and walked towards the bedroom.

Shu Momo was initially a little confused, but when she saw the cozy, large cotton bed in the room, her originally cute and adorable face immediately froze.

In a daze, she recalled the fear of being dominated by Mu Xi!

Please... please be gentle!

"There's... there's one more thing!" Shu Momo bit her red lips, making a final struggle!

Mu Xi didn't pay any attention, simply pulling out a vial of medicine and a packet of pink toiletries, and smiled, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

"It's... it's that... yes! When I got to Ping'an Street today, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered outside the fog. Is something big about to happen?"

"No." Mu Xi shook her head and sighed softly, "It's just that there are more people with nothing better to do. Either there just happens to be a lot of people today, or something might have happened outside. If it happens to coincide with the opening of a large-scale dungeon, then they'll be the ones who suffer."

Noticing Shu Momo's strange look, Mu Xi smiled again, "Since you've chosen to enter this world, you must be prepared to pay the price. Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions, instead of waiting for others to clean up their messes. So what if I'm the guardian of Ping'an Street? I'm not everyone's babysitter, I'm just fulfilling my duties."

"Wow! Master suddenly seems so high and mighty~" Shu Momo's bright eyes flashed with a glint of light, her face full of admiration.

"Stop changing the subject, lie down quickly. Let's collect some tears first. How can we make medicine without materials? Do you want to create something from nothing?"

"Huh?" Shu Momo wiped her eyes pitifully, as if she was about to cry, "Please... please treat me gently..."

"Don't worry, I'm a gentle, beautiful, generous, and kind woman. I'm a virtuous and gentle lady."

"..."

Ah--!!

That's a foul! Lying through your teeth is prohibited!!

While a harmonious atmosphere prevailed Elf Treehouse on Central Avenue, Ling Mengxue had just arrived at the villa she was looking for, riding her old bicycle.

Looking around, the surroundings were not much different from the Central Avenue. As far as the eye could see, there were rows of decaying, gray buildings. Occasionally, the howls of ghosts could be heard echoing from the eerie alleyways, but no ghost dared to approach the villa's vicinity.

[img=700,1244]htt [img=700,1016]htt I'm a little out of control! It's uncomfortable~

[img=700,700]htt Chapter Sixty-Eight: Is this vegetable poisonous?

"This must be the territory of that High Tier Dark Girl, right?"

Ling Mengxue stroked her chin, looking utterly bored.

Knowing full well it was a trap, she still calmly showed up at their door; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was crazy.

Unfortunately, she has a cheat code: she can unlock the Holy Temple Star Engraving for ten minutes and reach the realm of Hall-Tier Magic, and all her attributes are maxed out. Even the most outstanding Destiny Engraver would be no match for her.

"I said it."

Ling Mengxue raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips, and pressed the doorbell without any hesitation.

Ding-dong!!

The doorbell rang as if it had appeared out of nowhere, and the next moment, the door of this dark-style luxury villa was opened wide for her, with a red carpet being laid out from the innermost door, instantly elevating its status.

What the heck?

Ling Mengxue looked up and saw a "[Welcome to the event]" sign above her head. Her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was expressionless, suddenly giving her a somewhat poker face.

The villa was very large, resembling an old and dilapidated manor, with a strong smell of blood and mildew emanating from it.

Bang--

Carrying the lantern, she slowly pushed open the old, simple door beside her.

"Is anyone there? Is the Dark Girl here? Fang Zi, the Astral Mark Girl from Linzhuo, has gone to a treacherous banquet."

It was daytime, and the villa was relatively bright, but it was still filled with a hazy mist. The environment, both inside and out, exuded an eeriness and gloom, making it feel somewhat oppressive. The thick darkness enveloped the space, making it hard to breathe.

However, Ling Mengxue remained calm and carefully walked in.

She'd seen this kind of awful place countless times. Aside from occasionally encountering things that made her feel nauseous and uneasy, her immunity had improved considerably.

Da da da--

From within the mist, the faint sound of leather shoes clattering on the floor could be heard. As the sound grew closer, a pretty young woman slowly approached.

The girl was dressed in a cute maid outfit, but her face was pale and bloodless, and she showed no emotion whatsoever. She was like a heartless work robot, with a blank stare and expressionless face.

The maid then bowed slightly and gestured for the maid to proceed.

"Hello, please follow me. The master is already waiting in the hall."

"Uh... okay..."

Seeing her like this, Ling Mengxue was momentarily stunned.

She possessed fate analysis skills, so she could naturally see that the girl in front of her was also a human in her previous life.

Similar to the Blood Doll, it was made into Flesh Puppet, but unlike the doll, it wasn't dismembered and eaten by its own parents; it was simply killed by the evil spirit.

The only difference is that the girl's consciousness has been completely submerged by darkness, turning her into a heartless puppet or robot who will only ever obey her master's orders.

Ling Mengxue clenched her small pink fist, her expression slightly gloomy. After a moment of contemplation, she quickly strode after him.
