He hopes to avoid embarrassment by letting the girls enter first, but the catgirl employees recognize him and enthusiastically embrace him, nearly suffocating him with their exaggerated affection.

  • Fang Zi’s true identity revealed: Fang Zi greets Ling Feng warmly, though he feels intimidated by her beauty and presence. His Destiny Sign scans her and reveals that she is an extraordinarily powerful Hall-Tier Mage, as well as a librarian of the Linzhou Magic Association and the chief person in charge of the café’s Magic Association branch.

2. Character Developments

Although he attempts to resist her, he is ultimately powerless against her superior magic and remains conflicted about revealing his transformed identity.
  • Fang Zi: Demonstrates that she is far more perceptive and calculating than her friendly appearance suggests.

  • Secrets and identity: Ling Feng’s greatest fear is that his hidden status as an Astral Mark Girl will be exposed. The discovery of his necklace marks a major escalation.
  • Power imbalance and control: Fang Zi’s ability to immobilize Ling Feng highlights the enormous gap between them and turns his attempts at resistance into helpless comedy.

  • Competing magical factions: The subplot involving the Dark Angel Alliance expands the larger conflict, showing that powerful groups are gathering resources and seeking stronger weapons for future battles.

4. Character Interactions

  • Ling Feng and Fang Zi dominate the chapter. Their interaction is a mix of teasing, intimidation, interrogation, and forced cooperation.
  • Fang Zi repeatedly calls Ling Feng “Xiaofeng” and treats him affectionately, but her actions—using magic, locking the room, and examining his necklace—show that she is firmly in control.
  • Ling Feng responds with nervous flattery, sarcasm, and reluctant compliance. He tries to hide his fear but repeatedly loses composure when Fang Zi gets close to discovering the truth.
  • Fang Zi’s mention of Luo Luo and Ling Xiaoyu establishes that Ling Feng is not isolated, while her concern about how Xiaoyu would react adds a humorous contrast to her bullying behavior.
  • In the parallel subplot, Bai Lingxuan and Ye Xiaoying’s situation illustrates the Hell Girls’ cruel camaraderie and Bai Lingxuan’s connection to the higher leadership of the Dark Angel Alliance.
