After turning into a girl, Ling Feng couldn't pry apart one of Ling Xiaoyu's hands even with both of hers. Only now did Ling Feng realize how strong Ling Xiaoyu was. Where had her usual gentle, virtuous older sister gone?
In the end, Ling Feng was like a puppet, letting Ling Xiaoyu dress her in her clothes.
"Damn it, don't change that one!"
"Hey, where are you touching?!"
"Ah! Not there!"
Before long, lying on the bed and feeling that chilly sensation, Ling Feng had already gone numb.
As the active party, Ling Xiaoyu was still full of energy.
She pulled the still-dazed Ling Feng in front of the mirror. In the reflection, the girl's long hair draped over her shoulders, adorned with a blue butterfly hair accessory. Her blue-and-white sailor uniform paired with white thigh-high socks made her look exquisite. Even at a convention, she would have been the center of attention!
Ling Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction. How could her taste possibly be bad? But what she said next nearly made Ling Feng curse her ancestors.
"Xiaofeng, boys need to protect themselves when they go out. Oh, no, you're a girl now. Hehe."
"Damn it, that makes me even more vulnerable!"
"How could that be? Come on, lift your skirt and take a look. See the surprise your sister prepared for you."
"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person."
"It's blue and white."
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless. She remembered that Ling Xiaoyu used to be a gentle girl who did nothing but study diligently every day.
She had no idea when Ling Xiaoyu's personality had become so open.
"Xiaoyu, you're broken."
Ling Feng sighed miserably, but Ling Xiaoyu did not care.
Three years ago, Ling Xiaoyu had brought together all the magical girls in Linzhou City and established the Linzhou City Magical Girl Association. Even now, new rising stars continued to appear, and many newcomers were joining.
As for the maid café, it was merely a small branch of the Magical Girl Association. The red paper from before had actually been written by Ling Xiaoyu, who had planned to bring it back to headquarters, only for Ling Feng to find it.
There had also been a call from Yanjing. The countdown to fate was drawing near, and this world was about to enter a brand-new era.
Once I have the ability, I can fly with Xiaofeng.
After the college entrance exams, Ling Xiaoyu would not have much time left. As the president of the Linzhou City Magical Girl Association headquarters, she was usually quite busy.
She planned to spend more time with Ling Feng during the Spring Festival. Poor Ling Feng still knew nothing.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Ling Feng already knew who it was.
An Imperfect Date
When Qiu Yun'er saw Ling Feng, she happily greeted her, then poked her head in to look around the living room.
Ling Feng knew she was looking for her, so she quickly explained that she was the helper Ling Feng had found.
Qiu Yun'er was slightly surprised. Ling Feng knew she would be facing magical girls, so why had he sent his little sister out instead?
"Don't worry. It'll be fine."
Ling Feng said casually, her delicate and beautiful little face filled with confidence.
Seeing that, Qiu Yun'er blushed slightly. She only felt that the girl before her was a little handsome. Where had she seen that familiar air before?
Without thinking any further, Qiu Yun'er relaxed a little. No matter what, she would see how things went first.
Meanwhile, at a pavilion in South Mountain Park, three girls sat around a table.
Another girl stood beside them. The standing girl was somewhat irritated because she had lost again while playing cards.
The winner got to keep playing, while the loser had to wait until someone else was eliminated in the next round. Why had they not brought a four-player game when they came over? Tang Ling grumbled inwardly.
"Xiaoyu, your turn."
After saying that, Tang Xiaohua suddenly smiled. "I only have two cards left."
"I can see that. I have eyes."
Lan Xinyu was also getting a little irritated. The appointed time had not even arrived yet, so why had they come so early?
There was a reason. Finally, once everyone had grown somewhat impatient, they all turned their eyes toward Liu Yinxuan. As class monitor, her organizational skills were undoubtedly the strongest among the four.
Liu Yinxuan sighed. Her expression was like that of a teacher lecturing students, filled with the air of someone imparting knowledge and values.
"You need to learn to plan tactics in advance and prepare for trouble before it happens."
"Sigh."
"Sigh."
"Sigh."
After hearing that, the other three sighed at the same time. This is our class monitor, all right.
Logically speaking, high school studies should have been rather intense. Senior-year students were already desperately preparing for the college entrance exams, all for the chance to attend a good university in the future.
These girls had decent grades, and getting into an undergraduate program would not be a problem for them. Ling Feng, on the other hand, was another matter entirely.
But it did not have much of an impact on him. Even if he ended up attending some worthless university, he could still live normally. Most people hoped to find a promising job in the future.
Corporate executives and civil servants were the goals of most people. They wanted fame, wealth, and status, while the more capable ones started companies and became CEOs.
But none of that was what Ling Feng wanted. She only wanted to live an ordinary life like a normal person—go shopping, play games at internet cafés with friends, watch movies, and have no worries at all. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Yet reality was that Ling Feng transformed into an Astral Mark Girl every day and bickered and fought with a bunch of girls. Seriously, did that make any sense?
But no one knew that all of this would undergo a tremendous change in the near future.
The sky gradually darkened. Against the dim sky, a few birds occasionally flew past on their way home, heading toward the other side of the mountain.
The distant mountains were slowly swallowed by the night, seeking a measure of peace within that deep darkness...
In the quiet park, a couple sat on a bench nearby, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes.
"Darling, we've been together for three years, right? Don't worry. Once this Spring Festival holiday arrives, I'll bring gifts to your house and ask for your hand."
The man's voice was soft, carrying a hint of determination. After hearing him, the girl's face immediately turned red like a ripe apple, and she slowly nodded.
"I believe you."
"Mm. I've always loved you."
"I know."
The two continued to cuddle together, gazing affectionately at each other. The man wanted to do something more, and the girl showed no intention of refusing. Instead, her face grew even redder.
"We're still in the park. What if someone sees us?" the girl said coyly.
"It's fine. It's late at night. How could anyone possibly be here?"
"Mm," the girl replied softly.
With that, the man immediately became happy again.
Suddenly, a fireball the size of a soccer ball streaked over the couple's heads, leaving behind a crimson trail visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, magical flames exploded in the bushes behind them. Sparks scattered everywhere, frightening the young couple into clinging tightly to each other.
When had they ever seen anything like this? Was this a world war?
As the firelight faded, the area where the flames had exploded had been burned flat. Yet there was nothing there, because the two girls who had been hiding within had already moved away.
Instead, two girls had somehow appeared not far in front of where the couple sat.
"Damn it, a sneak attack! Do you magical girls have any shame at all?"
Qiu Yun'er brushed the dust from the hem of her skirt and could not help cursing.
Standing beside her, Ling Feng looked toward the small hill. She had seen that the fireball had come from the pavilion on the hill. Those people were probably all there.
When Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er had arrived, they had only intended to scout the area first. Who would have thought that these magic-wielding girls would attack immediately?
Sure enough, not long afterward, they saw four colored streaks of light fly through the air like four colorful shooting stars, descending from the hill toward Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er and revealing one dazzling figure after another.
The young couple could only stare dumbly at the sight, their eyes wide with shock.
What was this? People could fly? Were they filming a TV drama?
Although they had no idea what was happening, this scene would surely be deeply etched into the couple's memories.
This was not scientific at all!
It's You! You Shameless Vixen!
"Huh? Who's that beside Qiu Yun'er? I thought she'd bring Ye Yiren along."
As soon as she approached Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er, Lan Xinyu noticed the unfamiliar face beside Qiu Yun'er.
Ye Yiren was Qiu Yun'er's good friend, and all these magical girls knew it. The two sides had fought many times before, and whenever there was a larger battle, the two of them would always be present together.
Why had she brought someone else today? Given time, why had Qiu Yun'er not found more people?
The truth was that Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er had gone to eat first and chatted while they ate, nearly forgetting about this matter entirely. If the magical girls had known the truth, their expressions would definitely have been entertaining.
None of the three had much hope for Qiu Yun'er. It was supposed to be a scheduled battle, so why had she brought only one person?
Only Tang Ling froze slightly. She felt that the person beside Qiu Yun'er looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she simply could not remember where.
The four girls descended from the sky at the same time and stood in a row, looking extremely imposing.
Qiu Yun'er frowned slightly because she also felt that things were looking bad. Unconsciously, she turned her eyes toward Ling Feng.
On the way over, she had assumed Ling Feng was also an Astral Mark Girl, so she had not thought much of it. But now it was two against four. It would probably be a hard battle, and their odds of winning were low.
As long as these magical girls spread out and bombarded them with ranged magic, they would be finished.
Ling Feng, on the other hand, looked completely calm, wearing an expression that said, Finish striking your poses already. If you're going to fight, get on with it.
Back in middle school, Ling Feng often fought with others. She had even copied others by drinking and smoking.
She had also visited entertainment venues like bars and karaoke lounges plenty of times. As a result, she had been criticized by teachers and had her guardians called in more than once. Since Ling Feng's parents were away all year round, it had always been Ling Xiaoyu who came to take her home.
After learning what Ling Feng had been doing, Ling Xiaoyu had been furious. Every day when Ling Feng came home, she would lecture her properly, but Ling Feng had remained indifferent. Ling Xiaoyu was only one year older than Ling Feng and still had to keep up with her own studies.
Finally, one time, Ling Xiaoyu had been so angered by Ling Feng that she burst into tears right in front of Ling Feng's homeroom teacher. From then on, Ling Feng had never dared to fight again. She was truly afraid Ling Xiaoyu would cry once more.
"You're an Astral Mark Girl too?" Liu Yinxuan asked.
Although she had asked, it was a pointless question. If Ling Feng was not an Astral Mark Girl, was she supposed to be a magical girl?
Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er exchanged glances, then took out their Astral Mark Necklaces at the same time.
"O night that represents stars and moon! Astral Mark light that ends darkness! Starshadow Sword Dance, follow me and destroy the enemies before me!"
"Hey, do you really have to say the whole thing?"
Ling Feng smiled bitterly. Qiu Yun'er had even led her astray.
In less than a few seconds, the two of them transformed almost instantly. After transforming, a person's hair and eye color might change, but their face remained the same, only becoming fairer and more radiant at most.
Ling Feng was still dressed as before in the special JK uniform of an Astral Mark Girl, with long legs clad in black stockings, snow-white hair, and a snowflake hair accessory.
When Qiu Yun'er turned and saw Ling Feng, her expression shifted slightly in surprise.
Liu Yinxuan and Lan Xinyu were so shocked that they froze on the spot. Tang Xiaohua was still wondering what was wrong with everyone. She was only a little prettier—was there really any need to make such a fuss?
Tang Ling was the only one who cried out.
"It's you! You shameless vixen!"
"Say that again!" Ling Feng snapped angrily.
Ever since first meeting Tang Ling, Ling Feng had suffered plenty of setbacks at the hands of this magical girl. How could a girl let nothing but filthy words come out of her mouth? Ling Feng planned to find an opportunity later to properly teach her what manners were.
Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Tang Xiaohua quietly spoke with Liu Yinxuan. Once she learned Ling Feng's identity, Tang Xiaohua let out a cry of surprise.
