My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl! Chapter 18

After finding an alley to change back, Lu Annuan heard Little Deer say that and froze. "Wait, aren't ordinary people unable to see you?"

"But he seemed to be a special 'Star Bearer.' It was also my first time seeing someone that strong. If he normally saw me, he might realize that Polaris is actually Lu Annuan."

Lu Annuan thought of what she had said in front of Lu Ming just now, and her entire face turned red.

No, no, no, there was no way!

It would be way too embarrassing if he recognized her!

She had to go ask him about it later!

Tang Zhiqing emerged from her bathroom after a shower, carrying the scent of body wash. Her milk-white skin was fragrant and smooth, her shirt stretched high over her chest, and her fresh-from-the-bath beauty made one marvel at what a peerless young beauty she was!

She suddenly sensed the presence of an Evil Beast in the distance, but it quickly vanished.

It seemed another Magical Girl had taken care of it.

Polaris?

That Magical Girl had been quite active lately.

Just then, she saw her cousin, who lived with her, return. She seemed to be injured, with medicine applied to her knee and calf, but her eyes still sparkled brightly.

"Zhi Qing, let me tell you, I met a really handsome guy today. I was attacked by an Evil Beast, and he wasn't scared at all—he ran over to save me. I think he has the potential to become the next master of our crappy dojo, so you should win him over!" her cousin Qin Hanyu said excitedly.

There had not been a man in the dojo for a long time. They absolutely could not let such an outstanding man get away!

"Huh?" Tang Zhiqing wore a speechless expression. Only at home would she show the girlish mannerisms appropriate for her age.

Qin Hanyu, a pure-hearted woman who had been single for twenty years and did not even dare talk to boys, was trying to set her up with someone.

Despite having a face and figure worthy of a celebrity, a peerless beauty who would be asked by talent scouts ten times in three minutes whether she wanted to become a star, she was an aloof college girl outside and a foolish beauty at home.

"Really, really! Once I find him in a few days, I'll have him come to our house to practice martial arts!" Qin Hanyu hurriedly said. "It's been so long since anyone came to our house to train."

"No need. I have a classmate coming to train." Tang Zhiqing thought of Lu Ming and said it casually.

Qin Hanyu shook her head. "How could some classmate you found compare to the one I met? I saw that he was wearing the Haiyang No. 2 Middle School uniform too. He's definitely better than that Lu Ming you mentioned. Go look for him tomorrow!"

"If you want to find him so badly, go find him yourself." Tang Zhiqing said irritably.

"Why do you seem a little upset? Is it because I mentioned your classmate?" Qin Hanyu thought for a moment, then said, "How about we bring them both over tomorrow and let them compete to see who's better? I can also thank that high schooler who saved me. He was really so handsome..."

She casually glanced at Tang Zhiqing.

Qin Hanyu knew that Tang Zhiqing had never been able to stand provocation since childhood. She had long since mastered that emotional pressure point.

Tang Zhiqing stopped walking and sneered. "Sure. Let's see whose pick is better."

Still, she did need to thank the person who had saved her cousin.

But although she had not even met him yet, Tang Zhiqing had already begun to dislike him.

Meanwhile, far away, Lion, an executive of Death Spiral, watched the footage with the other executives. They saw the Evil Beast rampaging and being killed, and when they saw it stop after Lu Ming shouted at it, all of them fell silent.

"...Huh?" After a long time, Executive Lion made a clear yet bewildered sound.

No, bro?

*******

"Rock Girl"—I'll make some revisions over the next few days and try to restore the chapters that got banned. There weren't any new messages in the backend before, so I thought I'd already finished revising them.

Also, tomorrow's update will be posted at midnight to push for the rankings. If you have votes, please cast them to support me too. I'm begging you—thank you so much!

You Really Understand Democracy

The entire world had accumulated extensive experience in dealing with the disaster of Evil Beasts, which had existed for centuries, especially in handling the aftermath. Ambulances were already on standby the moment an Evil Beast appeared. With the help of the Magical Girl Polaris, no one had been injured. Lu Ming sat by the roadside with a cup of coffee after a pretty nurse had just checked him over. He was healthy to an almost excessive degree.

He now had two problems.

One was that the coffee in his hand was too hot to drink, and it was instant coffee at that—far worse than the two-yuan soy milk downstairs.

You insist on grinding fresh coffee beans? Anyone serving people in a disaster zone should go drink American dishwater.

No, who was talking nonsense in my head?

The second was... he had noticed that the Evil Beast had obeyed his command just now.

That was a little too unbelievable. Through the research of relevant personnel, people already knew that one of the components of an Evil Beast's body was human negative emotion. Negative emotions were the most violent and uncontrollable things, and even Death Spiral only used methods of inducement.

But Lu Ming had indeed issued an order.

And the Evil Beast had obeyed.

Could it be... that I'm a dragon?

Lu Mingfei returning from the world of Magical Girls?

Stop it. Your bro isn't some useless loser. I've seen the literary club's Curtain Blade at Haiyang No. 2 Middle School—all filtered through Little Red Book. Chen Wenwen or whatever, let me ask you: can you withstand the hardest punch in Ionia—Sett?

Besides, Lu Ming did not play StarCraft. He was a Silver-ranked League of Legends player.

Silver was not as simple as you thought.

Then, ruling out the other possibilities, could it be related to the system?

The system?

Lu Ming suddenly thought of a crucial question.

Come to think of it, how did the future me, who had no system, become the Great Demon King and ultimately battle Lu Annuan after her Extreme Ascension?

Thinking about it that way, wasn't future me a little too awesome?

Even if Lu Annuan came at me now, as long as I kited her from the sky, she'd be kneeling down to give me mouth-to-mouth in less than three minutes.

No, wait, why did I imagine that scene? It was a little inappropriate for children.

It took all the Magical Girls in the world joining forces just to fight me to a draw.

What am I, some purple potato alien?

Could future me have become the Great Demon King through this ability?

But Evil Beasts usually ignored me completely. Forget asking them to put on a show or overlook me—they wanted to take a crunchy bite out of me the moment they saw me!

If that was how Evil Beasts acted on the surface, Lu Ming could not imagine how little respect they had for him in their hearts.

It seemed he was not some Evil Beast Emperor or anything.

Good news: Lu Ming was human.

No, why did that sound like an insult?

Put another way, Lu Annuan was human.

Eh?

Why did that sound much more pleasant? It even sounded like she was marriage material.

Enough, enough. Time to test my ability.

Lu Ming looked ahead and said quietly, "Come out!"

Lu Ming, who formed a contract with you, orders you—Evil Beast, come out!

Was it coming out?

Everything before him was peaceful.

Looks like I didn't pull anything.

In the distance, only police officers and medical personnel bustled about. Lu Ming tried shouting again, "Come out!"

A pretty, innocent face poked out from behind a tree, head tilted in confusion. "How did you know I was here?"

Holy crap, I actually pulled something!

A five-star beauty, Lu Annuan.

Got her in two pulls.

Don't ask how I pulled her. There was only one Lu Annuan, and she wasn't for anyone else.

Lu Annuan sat beside Lu Ming and examined him with concern. "You're not hurt, are you?"

"The doctor said that although I look fine on the surface, I actually suffered severe internal injuries. I'll probably die in a few decades." Lu Ming said.

Lu Annuan propped her pale chin on her hand, waved a slender finger, and laughed softly. "Little Lu Ming, what you're describing is called a human lifespan. Humans die after living that long."

What a cute kindergarten teacher Lu Annuan.

No, who altered my thoughts?

I've known Lu Annuan since we were little. Why was I suddenly praising her?

Lu Ming felt he had developed some psychological issue lately. He actually thought Lu Annuan was getting prettier and prettier, especially when she was focused or smiling. It made his heart beat a little faster.

This woman had actually thrown the heart of this future Great Demon King into disarray.

She would surely become a major threat someday!

Tomorrow, he should go to school and ask Ran Yanyue about his mental state. His class did not have a psychological committee member, so Ran Yanyue held the position concurrently. Other people had gone to her for counseling too, and their psychological problems had worsened considerably after leaving the classroom, more or less because of that face of hers.

Ran Yanyue's coldness was coldness in every respect.

If there were a status panel, it would definitely look like this.

Name: Ran Yanyue

Race: Top student (formerly human)

Personality: Sharp-tongued, cold, proud, warm-hearted

Yes, warm-hearted.

Don't laugh yet.

Although Ran Yanyue's race had ascended, she still retained a trace of human nature. Sometimes, one could still see her showing concern for students injured during PE class.

"By the way, you didn't go running around just now, did you? Even kindergarten teaches that you shouldn't run around during an Evil Beast disaster." Lu Ming said.

"There wasn't a disaster in the direction of my home. I came back to find you."

As Lu Annuan spoke, she secretly glanced at Lu Ming. She wondered whether he had discovered that she was actually the Magical Girl Polaris.

Because she suddenly remembered—

When she transformed into Polaris earlier, the first thing Lu Ming asked upon seeing her was whether she was hurt.

Lu Annuan had grown up with Lu Ming. She knew he was someone who cared especially deeply about friends he valued. Only then would he stop being awkward and directly say something concerned like, "Are you hurt?"

If... Lu Ming really knew she was Polaris.

Lu Annuan's face reddened.

Then she clenched her fists.

The first thing she would do was strangle Lu Ming to death, ahhh!!

She had been showing off in front of Lu Ming, and he had seen it all. The embarrassment made her want to burrow under her blankets and wrap her head in a pillow!

But this was clearly not the time to talk. They should go home first!

The two stood up to head home. Lu Ming saw a young police officer beside them carrying several bags of rice to distribute. This was China's unique speed—anywhere in the country, you could freeze to death, burn to death, or even get shot to death, but you absolutely could not starve to death.

Though the officer was staggering a little under the weight.

Lu Ming watched as the officer's foot twisted and he fell forward. Lu Ming shot out a hand to steady him, while his other hand supported the bags of rice. He held them all up with just one hand.

"Awesome, kid." The police officer froze for a moment, then exclaimed. "Thanks."

That kind of strength could probably compete in Olympic weightlifting!

"The military and civilians are as close as fish and water." Lu Ming waved it off.

The police officer laughed happily and patted the rice. "Here, take a bag home. You two live around here, right? This counts as being within the disaster area. Take it back and eat it with your little girlfriend!"

Though it was called a disaster area, in reality only a few dozen meters of highway and several shops had been damaged. It was like a traffic accident.

And when Lu Annuan heard the term little girlfriend, her face instantly flushed red, and she hurriedly tried to deny it.
