An Imperfect Date / It's You! You Shameless Vixen!

After turning into a girl, Ling Feng could not pry open Ling Xiaoyu's hand even with both of his. Only now did he realize how strong Ling Xiaoyu was.

Where was his gentle, virtuous older sister who had always seemed like the perfect wife and mother?

As a result, Ling Feng was like a puppet, allowing Ling Xiaoyu to dress him in her clothes.

"Damn it, that doesn't need to be changed!"

"Hey, where are you touching?!"

"Ah! Not there!"

Before long, lying on the bed and feeling that chilly sensation, Ling Feng's senses had already gone somewhat numb.

As the one taking the initiative, 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 hung loose, adorned with a blue butterfly ribbon. Her blue-and-white sailor uniform matched her white thigh-high socks perfectly. She looked absolutely exquisite.

Put her at a convention, and 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 his ancestors.

"Xiaofeng, boys need to protect themselves when they're out there. Oh, no, you're a girl now. Hehe."

"Damn it, isn't that even more dangerous now?!"

"How could it 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."

"Blue and white."

"..."

Ling Feng was speechless. He remembered that Ling Xiaoyu used to be a gentle girl who did nothing but study seriously every day.

He did not know when Ling Xiaoyu's personality had become so open.

"Sister Xiaoyu is broken."

Ling Feng let out a miserable sigh, but Ling Xiaoyu did not care about that.

Three years ago, Ling Xiaoyu had united all the Magical Girls in Linzhou City and established the Linzhou City Magical Girl Association. Even now, many rising stars had appeared, and many newcomers continued to join.

As for the maid café, it was merely a small branch of the Magical Girl Association. That red slip of paper had actually been written by Ling Xiaoyu, and she had intended to bring it back to headquarters. Ling Feng had simply happened to find it first.

A call had also come from Yanjing. Destiny Countdown was drawing near, and this world would soon enter an entirely new era.

Once I have the ability, I can fly together with Xiaofeng.

After the college entrance exams, Ling Xiaoyu would not have much time left. As the president of the Linzhou Magic Girl Association Headquarters, she was usually quite busy.

She planned to spend more time with Ling Feng during Spring Festival. Poor Ling Feng still knew nothing.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Ling Feng already knew who it was.

A Not-So-Perfect Date

When Qiu Yun'er saw Ling Feng, she happily greeted him, then poked her head in to look around the living room.

Ling Feng knew she was looking for him, so he hurriedly explained that he was the helper Ling Feng had found.

Qiu Yun'er was slightly surprised. Ling Feng knew he would be facing Magical Girls, so why had he sent his younger sister out instead?

"Don't worry. It'll be fine."

Ling Feng answered casually, confidence filling that delicate, beautiful face.

Qiu Yun'er blushed slightly when she saw him. She only felt that the girl before her was somewhat cool. That familiar air around him... where had she seen it before?

Not thinking about it any further, Qiu Yun'er relaxed a little. No matter what, she would wait and see.

Elsewhere, at a pavilion in South Mountain Park, three girls sat around a table.

Another girl stood beside them. The standing girl was a little 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 game for four people when they came? Tang Ling grumbled to herself.

"Xiaoyu, your turn."

After saying that, Tang Xiaohua suddenly smiled. "I only have two cards left."

"I saw that. I have eyes."

Lan Xinyu was also getting a little annoyed. Their agreed time had not even arrived yet, so why had they come so early?

There was a reason. At last, after everyone had grown somewhat impatient, they all turned to look at 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, full of an air of guidance and instruction.

"You need to learn to plan tactics in advance and prepare for danger before it happens."

"Sigh."

"Sigh."

"Sigh."

After hearing that, the three of them sighed in unison. This is our class monitor.

Logically speaking, high school studies should have been rather stressful. Senior students were already desperately preparing for the college entrance exams, all so they could attend a good university in the future.

These girls had fairly good grades. Getting into an undergraduate program in the future would not be a problem. Ling Feng, on the other hand, was harder to describe.

But it did not affect him much. Even if he went to some lousy university in the future, he could still live normally. Most people hoped to find a promising job someday.

Corporate executives and civil servants were what most people pursued, enjoying fame, status, and wealth. Some more capable people started companies and became CEOs.

But none of that was what Ling Feng wanted. He 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?

But reality was that Ling Feng transformed into the Astral Mark Girl every day and messed around with a group of girls. Just look at this—was that really reasonable?

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 back to their nests, heading toward the other side of the mountain.

The distant mountains were gradually swallowed by the night.

In the thick darkness, one could search for a little peace...

In the quiet park, a couple sat on a bench nearby, gazing affectionately into each other's eyes.

"Darling, we've been together for three years now, right? Don't worry. After this Spring Festival break, I'll bring betrothal gifts to your home and ask for your hand."

The man's voice was soft, but his tone carried a trace of determination. After hearing him, the girl's face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple. She slowly nodded.

"I believe you."

"Mm. I've always loved you."

"I know."

The two continued cuddling together, their eyes locked in a tender gaze. The man wanted to do something more, and the girl did not seem inclined to refuse. Instead, her face grew even redder.

"We're still in the park. What if someone sees us?" the girl asked coyly.

"It's fine. It's late at night. How could there possibly be anyone here?"

"Mm," the girl softly replied.

The man immediately became happy again.

Suddenly, a fireball the size of a soccer ball streaked over the two of them, leaving a visible crimson trail in the air.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, magical flames exploded in the bushes behind them. Sparks scattered everywhere, frightening the young couple into clutching each other tightly.

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 there had already moved away.

Instead, two girls had appeared not far in front of where the couple was sitting.

"Damn it, a sneak attack! Could you Magical Girls have some shame?"

Qiu Yun'er patted the dust from the hem of her skirt and could not help cursing.

Standing beside her, Ling Feng looked toward the hill. He had seen that fireball fly over from the pavilion on the hill, so the others were probably all there.

Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er had only intended to scout the area when they arrived. Who would have thought that this bunch of magic users would attack immediately?

Sure enough, before long, they saw four streaks of colored light cut through the sky. Like four colorful meteors, they flew down from the hill toward Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er, revealing one dazzling figure after another.

The young couple's eyes had already gone wide at the sight, and they were utterly dumbfounded.

What was this? People could fly? Were they filming a TV drama?

Although they did not understand what was happening, this scene would undoubtedly be deeply etched into the young 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 would 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 of these Magical Girls knew it. The two sides had fought many times before. Whenever there was a major battle, the two of them would always appear together.

Why had she brought someone else today? Qiu Yun'er had been given time, so why had she not found more people?

In truth, Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er had gone out for dinner first and chatted while eating, causing them to nearly forget about this matter. If the Magical Girls knew the truth, their expressions would surely have been spectacular.

Tang Ling was the only one who froze slightly. She felt that the person beside Qiu Yun'er looked familiar, as though she had seen him 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 incredibly imposing.

Qiu Yun'er frowned slightly because she also felt that things did not look good. She unconsciously turned to look at Ling Feng.

When they came 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. This would probably be a hard battle, and their odds of winning were low.

As long as these Magical Girls kept their distance and bombarded them with ranged magic, they would be finished.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, looked utterly calm, with an expression that seemed to say, Hurry up and finish posing. If you want to fight, then fight already.

Back in middle school, Ling Feng often fought with others. He had even imitated others by drinking and smoking.

He had also gone to entertainment venues like bars and KTVs quite often. As a result, he had been criticized by teachers and had his parents called in plenty of times. Since Ling Feng's parents were away all year, Ling Xiaoyu had always been the one to bring him home.

Ling Xiaoyu had been furious when she learned what Ling Feng had been doing. Every day when he came home, she would properly lecture him. But Ling Feng had remained indifferent. Ling Xiaoyu was only one year older than him and still had to keep up with her own studies.

Finally, one time, Ling Xiaoyu was so angry that she burst into tears, right in front of Ling Feng's homeroom teacher. From then on, Ling Feng never dared to fight again. He was genuinely 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 he was not an Astral Mark Girl, was he supposed to be a Magical Girl?

Ling Feng and Qiu Yun'er looked at each other, then took out their Astral Mark Necklaces at the same time.

"O night that represents the stars and moon! Light of the Astral Mark That Ends Darkness! Starshadow Sword Dance, follow me and destroy the enemies before us!"

"Hey, do you really have to say the whole thing?"

Ling Feng gave a bitter smile. He had been led astray by her too.

In less than a few seconds, the two of them were almost instantly transformed. Normally, transformation could alter one's hair color and eye color, but the face remained the same, at most becoming fairer and more radiant.

Ling Feng still wore the same outfit as before: the Astral Mark Girl's specially made JK uniform, long black-stockinged legs, snow-white hair, and a snowflake hair ornament.

When Qiu Yun'er turned and saw Ling Feng, her expression shifted slightly in surprise.

Liu Yinxuan and Lan Xinyu stood stunned on the spot. Tang Xiaohua was still confused about what was wrong with everyone. She was only a little prettier, so was there really any need to make such a fuss?

Tang Ling was the only one who immediately cried out.

"It's you! You shameless vixen!"

"Say that again!" Ling Feng snapped angrily.

Ever since he had first encountered Tang Ling, Ling Feng had suffered plenty of setbacks because of her. How could a girl let nothing but filthy words come out of her mouth? Ling Feng planned to find an opportunity later to properly talk with her about manners.

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Tang Xiaohua quietly asked Liu Yinxuan about it. When she learned Ling Feng's identity, Tang Xiaohua let out a startled cry.
