Ling Feng was speechless. This was practically a massive public humiliation scene!
"Where did that little girl go? Why did she suddenly disappear?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Ling Feng's mind, but she quickly brushed it aside.
"She has magic. Why bother thinking so much about it? I should find somewhere to hide first. That'd be safer."
Ling Feng knew her situation well. The enemy was hidden while she was out in the open. Once she got away from the crowd, that girl would probably pop out again.
Finally finding an opportunity, Ling Feng slipped into an alley.
[Are you fucking drawing or not?!]
Xi He's voice rang out in her mind again, and Ling Feng finally snapped back to her senses.
"Draw! I'll draw, okay?"
"Xi He, having such a bad temper isn't good!,,?^?,,!"
As soon as she said that, a blue glowing screen that only she could see appeared before her.
No sooner had it appeared than a beam of golden light descended.

Type: Tang saber. Description: A blade primarily silver and black in color, decorated with the radiance of Icemoon Mirror Sky. A point of cold light had condensed in the middle of the blade, seeming to flow endlessly and lending it an icy sharpness.)
Ling Feng's eyes immediately lit up.
"Damn! Osmanthus cake! Is this stuff any good?"
"It should sell for quite a bit, right?"
A Weight Lifted
Seeing the nine boxes of osmanthus cake added to her storage, Ling Feng's mood instantly improved.
And this blade... she already had a weapon, so it seemed useless for now. Still, she could try dual-wielding blades someday, Ling Feng mused.
But the most important thing now was figuring out how to get away.
If some loli who came out of nowhere started hunting you down for no reason, you would understand just how ridiculous this was.
Don't make it sound too nice. The key was that she was a Magical Girl, and Ling Feng couldn't even beat her.
Ling Feng stopped thinking about it and lightly brushed the Astral Mark Necklace around her neck.
"O night beneath the starry sky and bright moon, shine forth—the Astral Mark That Ends Darkness!"
After transforming in a single second, Ling Feng had no intention of fighting that loli.
If she went straight at her, Ling Feng might expose her identity.
But unfortunately, Xi He had delayed her for a while just now, and Ling Luoluo had still caught up. With no other choice, Ling Feng could only head farther into the city streets. There were more people there, so she should be able to slip away with the flow.
"I'll wait for an opening and make my move!"
No sooner had Ling Feng left than a loli in an exquisite black outfit appeared where she had just been.
Ling Luoluo had tracked her all the way here, but she found no trace of Ling Feng.
That person had actually vanished into thin air? Ling Luoluo was utterly confused. There were not many people here, but finding her again would be difficult.
Ling Luoluo felt rather annoyed. If she had just been a little faster, she could have caught up.
Helplessly, she could only give up. There would be plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush.
As she passed a small shop, Ling Luoluo suddenly noticed a white-haired girl of heavenly beauty quietly sitting beneath a tea stall, scrolling through her phone.
In the dazzling Milky Way, be a star that did not draw too much attention, adorning the night sky while taking in all the world's eternity. Perhaps only the darkness and stillness of night could highlight the brilliance of starlight.
Even amid a crowd, the girl only needed a single glance to draw attention.
Even under the dim lights, nothing could conceal her breathtaking beauty, as delicate and lovely as a lotus emerging from water.
The girl's distinctive snow-white hair cascaded over her shoulders. The moment many people saw her, their souls were practically stolen away. She was simply a natural temptress. Even Ling Luoluo could not help stealing a few extra glances.
But that had nothing to do with her. The two did not know each other.
At that moment, the tea stall owner was still in a daze.
He had just watched Ling Feng come over and sit down without ordering anything, only lowering her head to look at her phone.
It made the owner feel rather awkward, but he was too embarrassed to strike up a conversation. Besides, having such a pretty girl sitting there could attract customers, so he was not losing out anyway~
In the end, Ling Luoluo failed to find anyone and left dejectedly.
Once Ling Luoluo had left, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had really been afraid that this girl would question people one by one. What kind of deep grudge was this?!
Miss, we've never even met, Ling Feng thought very seriously.
She recalled that the girl had told her to go inside back then? But that had originally been her own home. Could it be that, seeing how sneaky she looked, the girl had mistaken her for a thief and wanted her to go inside and apologize?!
Oh, damn it!
Ling Feng had not figured it out yet, but she had remembered some details.
"Um... pretty lady, can I add you on WeChat?"
While Ling Feng's emotions were swinging wildly, a no-good young man with multicolored dyed hair came up and asked.
Ling Feng gave him a sidelong glance and did not even want to respond.
But the instant the young man met Ling Feng's eyes, he could no longer look away. He stared fixedly at her, his face flushing and his heartbeat accelerating.
Seeing her this close, the young man realized that the girl was even prettier than he had imagined. Her ice-blue eyes carried a trace of disdain. She was so beautiful it was unbelievable!
But... this, this, this... he had never even seen a girl this pretty on television!
Ling Feng noticed that the young man still had not left, and her willow-like brows rose slightly.
Being stared at like that was more than Ling Feng could handle. She even felt an inexplicable sense of disgust.
Is this what girls feel when boys stare at them? No way, right?
Looking at the JK uniform she was wearing, Ling Feng felt that she should change into something else. Having to endure this kind of embarrassment every time was too much. She would look for a chance later.
Ling Feng stood up, sent Ling Xiaoyu a message, and vanished into the night.
The young man had not even processed what had happened before she disappeared?!
What the hell?
Was that magic??
A Twisted Fate
[Is Master tired?]
Walking alone down the street, Ling Feng paused slightly when she heard that utterly emotionless voice.
For some reason, warmth welled up in her heart. Was Destiny Sign really so humanlike? It was even worried about her?
"Tired? Of course I'm tired."
Fate was full of twists and turns. The heavens were unpredictable, and fortune and disaster could come overnight.
Whatever. I'll just go with the flow~
In this sorrowful and desolate February, she rode past a fragile youth, through redbud trees, through kapok trees, through joys and sorrows that appeared and disappeared, through uncertainty.
There were many things in life. What could be forgotten was called the past; what could not be forgotten was called memory.
Ling Feng let out a silent sigh.
With the New Year approaching, many people were busy buying holiday goods. The streets were still crowded with pedestrians and bustling traffic.
The roadside shops and fruit stands were packed with people choosing the freshest holiday goods. The busiest of all were the gift shops, where people were buying in high spirits to welcome the coming New Year.
Everyone had time at night, so there were no fewer pedestrians than during the day.
[Have a Snickers and be yourself! When you're sleepy and tired, drink Red Bull.]
"You think you're funny?" Ling Feng said speechlessly. "And where did you learn those lines?"
[Master, I searched for them on Baidu.]
"..."
Ling Feng no longer knew what to say. Just then, another call came in. Looking at the caller's name, she saw that it was Ling Xiaoyu.
Ling Feng had originally messaged that she would be spending the night at a classmate's house, but Ling Xiaoyu was no fool. She directly called several of Ling Feng's classmates to ask.
More importantly, their parents had just gotten home tonight, yet Ling Feng still was not going back? Ling Xiaoyu was practically furious. Why did it feel like Ling Feng had suddenly become a completely different person today?
When Ling Xiaoyu had called earlier, Yuwen, Zhao Ping, and several other classmates had all covered for Ling Feng. Every one of them said she was at his house! What wonderful friends she had.
Ling Xiaoyu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ling Feng, however, did not answer Ling Xiaoyu's call and immediately hung up.
"Xi He, do I have a status panel? Why can I only maintain my combat ability for two hours after transforming?"
Mentioning this made Ling Feng angry. Astral Mark Girls and Magical Girls could fight casually for three days and three nights.
Yet her power could only last two hours. After that, she was no different from an ordinary girl—she was even weaker.
It was seriously ridiculous.
[Because Master was never a combat-type Astral Mark Girl. This short-term burst of power you possess now was researched and trained by Master herself.]
Xi He explained unhurriedly, but her words remained as emotionless as a machine.
