Yes, I did all of this!

"I definitely won't." Cang Yuan nodded, remembering his words.

Upon reaching the door, Duanmu Mo continued:

"Of course, there's a second layer, which is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Yan grinned mischievously and threw the snowball she had been holding for a long time at Duanmu Mo.

But Duanmu Mo didn't even turn his head, and while keeping an eye on Cang Yuan, he easily raised his hand and caught the snowball.

Snapped--

The snowball made a crisp sound the moment it was held in Duanmu Mo's hand.

"That's it. Snowballs get hard after you hold them for a long time. Some of them aren't as dangerous as wrapping them with stones, but they still hurt a lot if you get hit by one."

Duanmu Mo waved the snowball in front of Cang Yuan, showing her its smooth surface.

"Hey, you actually caught that?"

Xia Yan's surprised voice rang out, and the next moment, Duanmu Mo threw the snowball over.

Xia Yan couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely on the head by the snowball. The snowball scattered, and Xia Yan cried out in pain.

"Ouch, you bastard! I was just aiming at your shoulder—"

"See, that's the power."

Duanmu Mo threw it over.

Duanmu Mo nimbly dodged, but landed on Cang Yuan's shoulder.

"what."

Cang Yuan let out a surprised exclamation and looked at Xia Yan, only to find her with a defiant expression: "Although you awakened your power longer than me, as a magical girl, you still have to call me 'senpai'~"

"Senior? Me?"

Cang Yuan wasn't interested in seniors, but Xia Yan clearly had that "ambition."

"Don't overthink it, Cangyuan, just fight back!"

Duanmu Mo hid to the side and fanned the flames.

"Ah, oh—"

Cang Yuan imitated Xia Yan's actions, grabbing a snowball and throwing it, but unfortunately his aim was poor, and it landed on Shen Wuyin's leg.

"There's no other way but to fight back now." Shen Wuyin laughed happily and threw a snowball.

—In an instant, snowballs flew around the yard, laughter filled the air, and a delightful atmosphere filled the air.

"watch out!"

Xia Yan threw a snowball, which Duanmu Mo easily dodged by tilting his head, but then Yu Zhi's voice rang out:

"Mr. Duanmu, be careful!"

Yu Zhi threw a snowball, and Duanmu Mo symbolically raised his hand. The snowball hit his arm and immediately scattered.

"Not bad, then I'll do it too—"

Duanmu Mo tossed a snowball in his hand toward Yu Zhi, who dodged it with a smile.

"Perfect angle calculation, launch!"

The moment he threw the snowball, Shen Wuling also weighed the snowball in her palm and threw it towards Duanmu Mo.

Before he could even regain his balance, according to Shen Wuling's calculations, Duanmu Mo had a 75% chance of hitting the ball.

Just looking at the snowball, Duanmu Mo shifted his feet, flipped over, and the snowball flew past his body, hitting Xia Yan precisely from that angle.

"Ugh—" Just as the snowball hit Xia Yan's face, Duanmu Mo also grabbed a handful of snowballs from the ground and shot them at Shen Wuling.

As expected, the snowball hit her shoulder.

"Ah—this kind of flexibility wasn't included in the calculations..."

Shen Wuling hadn't expected Duanmu Mo to be able to strike such a pose, and she laughed helplessly.

—The happy time passed by little by little. Xia Yan was still throwing snowballs, looking like a born battle maniac, but her clothes were also covered with a lot of snowflakes.

Yu Zhi and Cang Yuan then formed seven snowmen, including the five magical girls present and Duanmu Mo, and they didn't forget Cang Yi either.

"Alright, this is Mr. Duanmu..." Yu Zhi dug a shallow groove in the middle of the snowman's body, simulating a trench coat-like shape, and nodded in satisfaction, turning around happily to shout:

"Mr. Duanmu, look at me..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Duanmu Mo standing in front of a snowman, rubbing his chin and pondering, "Hmm, it's so-so. It's obviously a bit different for a first attempt."

Standing before him was another Duanmu Mo, a life-size statue made entirely of snow, perfectly capturing every detail from the folds of his clothes to his facial features.

"ah......"

. . . . . .

Chapter 408: Hot Spring

In the end, Duanmu Mo was still not satisfied, so he simply destroyed his own sculpture and kneaded the snowman with Yu Zhi and the others.

Yu Zhi felt a little regretful, but the sculpture was technically too advanced, and if Duanmu Mo was unwilling to do it, they couldn't have done it either.

So the result was that Duanmu Mo and Yu Zhi Cangyuan were making seven snowmen together. Of course, during this time, these works were also affected by Xia Yan's battle, attracting everyone to throw snowballs in retaliation, and they would also gather together from time to time to make snow sculptures.

Happy times always fly by. As time passed, the sun shone into the yard, and the seven snowmen were finished.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xia Yan often hit Duanmu Mo's snowman when throwing snowballs, causing him to have to redo it repeatedly. By the time she realized it, it meant that his snowman was much larger than the others.

The women had no objections, and the six snowmen surrounded Duanmu Mo, as if relying on him.

"Get ready..."

Finally, Duanmu Mo adjusted the camera tripod, and in the camera's view, six snowmen stood in a mess of snow, and behind the snowmen, Yu Zhi and the others also stood behind them.

From this angle, the snowman, the five magical girls, and the door behind them can all be captured in the image.

"Ten seconds, don't move."

After adjusting the camera, Duanmu Mo quickly walked to the middle of the crowd.

At the same time, the Shinbu Bell began its countdown:

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Listening to her countdown, Xia Yan narrowed her eyes, thinking of some wicked idea.

Just as the countdown to the Divine Dance Bell was about to end, Xia Yan came up behind Duanmu Mo.

"yeah!"

click-

In the camera's view, Xia Yan hugged Duanmu Mo's neck, stretched out her left hand to make a peace sign, and a mischievous expression appeared on her face.

Duanmu Mo turned his head slightly, looking calm and helpless, as if he had known she would do this. However, Xia Yan's lunge caused him to shift slightly to the right, leaving his left side empty.

Duanmu Mo placed his hands on the shoulders of the two youngest girls in front of him. Yu Zhi, who was on his left, looked surprised when she heard the sound, but before she could turn her head completely, the camera captured the scene.

On the other side, Shenwu Ling's countdown was interrupted by Xia Yan's commotion, but she didn't find it strange, and just sighed helplessly.

Shen Wuyin stood to Duanmu Mo's right and noticed Xia Yan's actions, about to stop her. Her gentle and tolerant gaze was also captured exquisitely in the camera.

Cang Yuan stood on the far left, opposite to Shen Wuyin. She raised her hand and pinched Duanmu Mo's sleeve. Having a basic understanding of modern technology, she was originally looking at the camera seriously, but after sensing Xia Yan's movement, she was also attracted to her attention, and the camera captured her bewildered expression.

—Whether by coincidence or not, the moment the camera captured the image, under the snow and sunlight, the gems on the five girls shimmered with a faint light, and Duanmu Mo's waist and abdomen appeared between Yu Zhi and Shen Wu Ling's bodies.

. . . . . .

"This photo..."

Thanks to Shinbu Rin's abilities, the photo was printed almost immediately.

Looking at the photo, Duanmu Mo pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin: "How about we take another one?"

"I refuse! This is such a good picture!"

Xia Yan took the photo from Duanmu Mo's hand and mounted it on the frame.

"Hmm~ Where should I put this? I've got it!"

Xia Yan moved lightly and placed it on the cabinet in front of the large TV screen.

"It's pretty good." Yuzhi propped herself up on her knees, leaned down to look at the photo, and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

"Is this what a camera does...? It's much clearer than a phone." Cang Yuan squatted down beside him, looking at the people in the photo.

"Eh... is there a little bit of magical girl energy left on this?" Shinmaine smiled as she looked at the photo, then suddenly realized something and turned to ask her sister.

Shen Wuling also deactivated her transformation and nodded: "Yes, the camera was made with my power, and the photos were developed using my abilities. I even used a little of my energy to protect it. Such an important thing can't be damaged."

"Something made with the power of magical girls..." Duanmu Mo thought for a moment and said, "It feels like some kind of important plot prop."

What are you talking about?

Xia Yan glanced at Duanmu Mo, then rubbed her stomach: "I'm hungry after playing all morning! Yin, is there anything to eat?"

"It's being made. If you're too hungry, you can have some snacks to tide you over," Shen Wuyin said with a smile.

They were so engrossed in playing that they played from early morning until about 2 p.m. When they got tired, they lay down on the snow to rest, and they didn't feel cold despite the strenuous activity.

Xia Yan responded and then lay down on the sofa, took a breath, and turned on the TV.

—Having a snowball fight in the morning and soaking in a hot spring in the evening, with a short break in between, Xia Yan searched for a movie to watch.

"Then I'll go cook too." Shen Wuyin nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll help too..."

Just as Yu Zhi was about to go up, Duanmu Mo pressed her head down and rubbed it.

"I'll do it. After all, it's to celebrate your holiday. You play with these kids."

"Who are you calling a kid?!" Xia Yan retorted, clearly displeased.

"Whoever admits it is the one."

Duanmu Mo shrugged and walked into the kitchen.

"You just wait!" Xia Yan said angrily to Duanmu Mo's back, but she didn't leave the sofa. She even wrapped herself in the blanket that was always on it.
