A little story after the rain

"But Jiang Si, don't you already have a way to go to the Magical Kingdom?"

The question of who Keke accompany Coco to meet her parents will be put on hold for now.

Neither of them wanted to argue in front of Jiang Si. Although they both raised their hands, they planned to discuss who would be more suitable to go to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau later.

Moreover, both of them tacitly agreed that this matter had to be kept secret and neither of them could tell.

After all, there are quite a few competitors even within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau alone.

There's only one spot available; if the quota is expanded, the chances for two people will be even fewer.

In this respect, the two have formed an alliance.

Compete behind closed doors----

Jiang Si didn't sit back down on the sofa; instead, she watched Keke studying in her room upstairs.

Jiegeng's irritable voice calmed down after a while, while Keke's timid voice became more distant.

I previously said I wanted to get along well with Keke, but I'm afraid that after teaching math, the two of us will become enemies.

She poured herself a glass of water, and as the hostess, Jiang Si also poured tea for the two young guests.

Then he slowly explained to Li Yi, "If you can enter the Magical Kingdom through the proper channels, it's better to do so."

Li Yi was still confused. "Why?"

"Smuggling will affect Keke's political background check."

Li Yi glanced at An Shiyu An Shiyu, who still had a faint smile on her face and seemed completely unsurprised by Jiang Si's words.

Jiang Si is definitely a bot.

Unfortunately, Li Yi wasn't that kind of person, although she didn't think her feelings for Jiang Si would lose to Xiao An's.

However, everyone has their own personality and way of doing things.

Most importantly.

Jiang Si's statement is outrageous!

Who can really hold their tongue when they hear the statement, "The reason Keke 're preventing Coco from being smuggled in is to prevent her from Keke the political vetting process!"

"Well, regarding this matter, why don't you just have the Azure Cloud Sect mention it to them?"

"We can't let Keke rely on others; we need to let Keke be independent. What if she develops this habit and writes about 'my sect leader teacher' or 'my Bingtang sister' in her essays? That would be terrible!"

That's thinking way too far ahead!

And why Bingtang? My magical girl captain friend has pretty much a prestigious title too, doesn't she?

Slightly resentful, Li Yi still said in a low voice, "I'll ask the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau if they can offer one more spot. That would make it easier to go to the Magical Kingdom together."

"This is troublesome."

No, no.

Jiang Si then added, "It would be best to find out our parents' location and situation beforehand."

"OK."

Although Li Yi's status may not be as high as that of the Azure Cloud Sect Bingtang and others in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau of the Qingyun Sect, the most important thing is her relationship with the Incubators.

The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau itself is unreliable now, but the magical girls within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau who have good relationships with the Incubators are still quite useful, as they can extract information from Incubators.

Li Yi has a good relationship with those Incubators at the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. Those Incubators are veterans, so they might be able to get some useful intelligence in advance.

"Jiang Si Return to Truth cares about her parents."

In response to Li Yi's exclamation, Xiao An immediately added, "Of course! Jiang Si has a great relationship with her parents. When we were traveling together in the car, it was Jiang Si 'Jiang Si parents who encouraged her to confess her feelings to me."

Who asked you?

Li Yi gritted her teeth in resentment, "Oh, well, that's Return to Truth lucky."

However, when it comes to emphasizing her relationship with Jiang Si, An Shiyu is never one to back down, and her assertiveness makes her seem unfamiliar.

Rather, when it comes to romance, this guy is frighteningly proactive.

If it weren't for An Shiyu, Li Yi wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"So actually, it's most suitable for me and Keke to go together, because Mom and Dad will definitely remember me, and it will be easy to talk to them. Mom and Dad will also definitely miss the past—"

"Wait, it's been so many years, they might not recognize you. And even if they did, you went with Keke, not Jiang Si."

Li Yi immediately interrupted An Shiyu, "In the end, you and Keke aren't that close, and do you really think you can talk properly with Mom and Dad? It might be very awkward! Keke and I are the closest, so it Keke be best if we went together. That way, we won't be speechless, and I know what Keke is thinking."

"Huh? The problem is, your parents don't even know you, right?"

"This, this isn't a big problem—"

Listening to the two arguing, Jiang Si suddenly asked, "Don't you have your own parents? You keep calling my and Keke's parents 'Mom and Dad'."

One sentence silenced the argument, and both girls fell silent.

Jiang Si thought her words had touched them and reminded them of their parents.

Remembering the kindness of my parents in raising me, I felt guilty and stopped casually recognizing other people's parents as my own.

After all, this is no joke. How can you just call someone "Dad" or "Mom" so casually? Having a second father or mother all the time makes it seem like you were born of a mother but not raised by one.

After reminding the two girls of their parents' kindness, Jiang Si stopped discouraging them and continued, "I mainly want to know if the Magical Kingdom will threaten my parents."

"Probably not," Li Yi replied immediately. "The Magical Kingdom may be a bit strange, but violence is forbidden there, so there shouldn't be any harm—"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Jiang Si took a sip of water, then switched to another TV station. This time, the news was about the Beihai Urban Construction Bureau interviewing Mochi. Mochi looked energetic; after all, during the previous Dark Turmoil, Beihai had not experienced any large-scale building destruction.

It's normal to be so happy.

"You're all too young and naive, unaware of the wickedness of the human heart," Jiang Si admonished. "These days, revenge often involves leading parents to prostitute themselves, then reporting them, which can implicate their children and disqualify them from taking the civil service exam. I'm afraid my parents won't be able to resist the temptation and the test, which could affect Keke's future."

"----"

In contrast to Li Yi's continued silence, An Shiyu whispered, "They shouldn't. My parents have a really good relationship and are very loving. They wouldn't cheat on me."

"It's hard to say."

Faced with Jiang Si's profound considerations, Li Yi felt at a loss for words, and finally just whispered, "Does Jiang Si have a bad relationship with Mom and Dad?"

Why do you say that?

"Because you always seem worried that they'll hold us back—"

Other parents worry that their children won't live up to their expectations.

Jiang Si was always worried that her parents were not living up to her expectations.

They are very good friends.

Jiang Si didn't react much, only saying noncommittally, "She's just a little slow."

"Finally, I've seen normal family relationships again."

Mujin had regained control of An Shiyu's body and immediately started showing off Li Yi's little cake, saying, "This is what a healthy parent-child relationship should be like! Hmm, do you have any drinks? We'd like Milk Tea!"

Li Yi poked her cheek from the side, "An Shiyu's body will be deformed from all the eating you've done to her sooner or later."

"No way, we always make sure she exercises properly and maintains a balanced calorie intake!"

"Finish your meal and then go exercise!"

Jiang Si watched the two of them for a while, seeing they showed no sign of leaving. "Aren't you going home for dinner?"

Both of them nodded, Li Yi immediately said, "Yes, we've all gotten by through eating."

Mujin echoed, "Yes, yes, yes."

"That's good." Jiang Si turned and walked towards the kitchen. "You don't need to cook for yourselves."

Li Yi quickly changed her tune. "But we're hungry now!"

Mujin: "That's right, that's right, the cake isn't filling!"

"Yeah, right! You don't need to eat any more; you've already eaten so much cake!"

"Magical girls can eat Infinity of cakes without being affected; that's the setting!"

"Whose magical girl setting is this?!"

"No matter what, girls eat desserts differently than they eat regular meals!"

"That's how fat people deceive themselves."

"Xiao An isn't fat! We have spatial abilities; we can swallow it and send it somewhere else—"

"Wasting food."

I'll strangle you!

After dinner, it started to Xiao Yu outside.

Keke, now that her tutoring session was over, was finally able to go out and play with her two friends.

Jiang Si wasn't about to spoil the mood after her younger sister had finished her task; she simply reminded her to come back early that evening.

As they were leaving, An Shiyu was still talking about the swimming pool and swimsuits.

--

She seemed very determined, probably because she was very confident in the swimsuit she bought.

Finally Li Yi also insisted that Keke go with her to buy a swimsuit.

In general, he developed a competitive spirit in this regard.

Jiang Si naturally didn't stay at home either. Since she planned to go to the Magical Kingdom, she naturally had to return to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Keke, having finished tutoring Jiegeng, came out with him, holding up an oil-paper umbrella.

In maintaining its antique style, Jiegeng is perhaps even True One than Yarrow.

The shrine maiden's outfit is actually quite prone to getting splattered with mud on rainy days, but her slow, graceful movements always manage to keep the outfit clean.

When holding an umbrella for the sect leader, he was slightly behind by half a body length, giving people a sense that his status and position were obvious at a glance.

Her serene demeanor and gentle movements made her resemble not only a shrine maiden, but also a very tolerant maid.

As they walked along, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"It's that Jiang Family brat again."

"They change so quickly, another foreign girl this time. They're quite picky about taste—"

"Exotic style, I'm so envious."

"She'll get dumped in a few days anyway, should I ask for her contact information and wait until she's heartbroken after being dumped—"

Jiegeng listened from the side, then turned her oil-paper umbrella, revealing half her face slightly, and smiled gently in the direction of the conversation.

The light Xiao Yu seemed to Freeze for a moment.

The group of people who had been gossiping suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Si glanced at it but said nothing.

Jiegeng herself explained, "It's not that Jiegeng is petty."

"Hmm." Jiang Si wasn't interested in what she was doing. "When are you going to return your body?"

"I am Jiegeng?" Jiegeng tilted her oil-paper umbrella slightly. "Sect Master seems to have made a mistake. I am actually different from Miss An Shiyu. It wasn't a real Calamity Beast that invaded this body. As two independent consciousnesses sharing one body, Jiegeng and An Shiyu's attributes would overlap, which would be extremely dangerous."

Where is the danger?

"The danger lies in the fact that Jiegeng loses her own unique characteristics and can't cling to the sect leader like Miss An Shiyu every day, leading to her complete marginalization. As a subordinate replacement for Miss An Shiyu, she'll only be thought of when the sect leader can't see An Shiyu and wants to find Jiegeng— "

"You still talk a lot of nonsense, as always."

"Hehe, it's the same in web novels, Sect Master. People with similar attributes just appear much less frequently." Jiegeng shook the rain off her oil-paper umbrella. "Anyway, Jiegeng is Jiegeng. The so-called ' Calamity Beast Personality' is just another Jiegeng created after being influenced by the Calamity Beast's negative emotions. Essentially, she's still Jiegeng. If you like Jiegeng, Sect Master, you can experience having two girlfriends without having to bear the risk of being cheated on, because it's me who split myself up—"

This is probably what they mean by two negatives making a positive.

"Of course, if you like An Shiyu, you risk becoming a scumbag and cheating, because Mujin and An Shiyu are actually two different people, and that's our biggest difference."

Walking quietly on the rain-soaked path, Jiang Si didn't say anything about Jiegeng's rambling.

In reality, he wasn't very familiar with that irritable Jiegeng personality.

Although Jiang Si still admired her quite a bit, as a battle maniac, Jiegeng truly lived up to the saying that her mind was always on battle.

Even though she could win very few in the true lineage.

His interactions with Jiang Si mostly involved challenges and getting beaten up.

Very pure.

However, after each beating, Jiegeng's eyes would clear, revealing another personality influenced by the Calamity Beast.

So, in terms of conversation alone, Jiegeng and Jiang Si are more familiar with each other.

Although Bingtang always felt that this personality was rather pathological, it was always the other, more irritable Jiegeng personality that was the main one.

As she walked, she saw a little girl fall in the rain ahead, so Jiegeng helped her up. Not long after, the child's parents came looking for her, and they were both taken aback when they saw Jiegeng dressed as a shrine maiden.

But they still gratefully took their child back with them.

Kikyo gently brushed a strand of hair from her temple, wiping away the raindrops, Jiegeng suddenly asked, "Sect Leader, if I accidentally tripped and fell, and pulled down your pants, would you help me up first, or pull up your pants first?"

"Press down on his head first."

Jiegeng tilted her head, a hint of surprise in her dark eyes. "Huh, so bold? But Jiegeng can totally accept it—"

"Put you in the mud and water to wake you up."

"Although Jiegeng already guessed it, she Return to Truth is clueless about romance, Sect Master."

Seeing that they were almost at the Azure Cloud Sect, Jiegeng put down her umbrella.

The Xiao Yu pattered against her clothes. The shrine maiden skipped lightly through the rain, walking up to the sect leader. She folded her oil-paper umbrella and placed it behind her. Her soaked clothes clung to her body, revealing glimpses of her flesh. Her wet hair only enhanced her charm on her Yanran face.

"Before, when I saw people describe liking someone as 'the moon is beautiful tonight,' I thought I understood it. I thought it was just the understated beauty of Eastern culture. But today, it's raining, and in that moment when I really wanted to tell someone how happy I was because of the rain, I realized what it truly means to feel 'the moon is beautiful.'"

"Actually, the beauty of the moonlight is not a subtle beauty at all; in fact, it's the complete opposite of subtlety—it's a very direct and passionate expression of love."

In fact, Xiao Yu is pleasant and doesn't make one look disheveled; it only adds to the romance.

The speaker meant well, but the listener didn't.

"Sect Master, did you know? It rained in Beihai today."

Saying something completely unrelated, Jiegeng Xiao Yu, murmuring, "It's raining—the effects of rain are: Water-type moves gain 1.5x power, Fire-type moves lose 0.5x power, Weather Ball becomes Water-type and doubles in power, Thunder and Hurricane always hit, Sunlight's power is halved, Synthesis's Morning Sun and Moonlight restore only a quarter of the HP, Swift Swim's speed is doubled, Rain Dish restores 1/16 of maximum HP per turn Dry Skin restores 1/8 of maximum HP Hydration ability removes status conditions—"

"Sorry, I was just possessed—mainly because I suddenly remembered that my Rainy Day team's core visa wasn't approved—"

Jiang Si merely sneered, calling the Beast Taming School trash.

Midway through, I asked Jiegeng about Keke's studies, which almost made Jiegeng go berserk and even brought out another personality of hers.

But Keke's studies are ultimately quite good; Keke is truly a very smart child as long as she is focused.

This isn't one of those polite words you use to comfort an idiot.

After Jiegeng finished explaining the teaching plan, the two of them arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect.

The group of people looked at Jiegeng with some odd expressions.

Everyone was actually listening to our conversation during that walk in the rain.

Even the way Bingtang looked at Jiegeng had a hint of pity in her eyes.

Blue Flower grabbed the soaking wet Jiegeng and, while wiping her down, whispered, "Such a wonderful atmosphere! Why didn't you seize it? How did you suddenly get possessed by Rabbit Head!"

"I can't hold back anymore, I can't suppress my kind-hearted main personality anymore----"

Yumo wiped her Raincoat and muttered softly, "It should have been, it should have been given to me."

Bingtang didn't join in the whispers among the disciples. She simply looked at her sect leader, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the rain off his face, and tidied his hair.

"Regarding the location of the Magical Kingdom, with the help of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, we found traces of its past existence and eyewitness Magical Kingdom."

Hearing this, Jiang Si finally perked up, "When?"

"Not long after, while the Full Bloom Qingwan was unconscious, someone observed the appearance of the Magical Kingdom, and at the same time, the Incubators took away the Miracle Seed of that senior Qingluan."

Jiang Si had almost forgotten about this.

Qingluan joined the Azure Cloud Sect to save her comatose senior, a promise Jiang Si had personally made to Qingluan.

They will help Qingluan rescue her senior.

But it's not too late to think about it now.

"So where is the Magical Kingdom? Is it in the roots or the trunk of the World Tree?"

"Into the New World."

"Um?"

"They're not just in the New World, they're in West China," Bingtang said with unusual seriousness.
