Yes, I did all of this!

Shen Wuling weighed about the same as Xia Yan, or even a little lighter. With Duanmu Mo's arm strength, he easily lifted her up and put her aside.

Yu Zhi is now out studying with her classmates, while Shen Wuyin has gone out to buy groceries. Only Xia Yan, Ling, and Cang Yuan, the three magical girls, are at home.

Urged by Duanmu Mo, the three of them also came to the courtyard and began sweeping the snow.

"Speaking of which, this is the content of a Texas Hold'em game back then, right? It seems to involve cleaning the yard or something?" Xia Yan fiddled with the snow shovel in her hand, suddenly realizing something, and asked Duanmu Mo.

“Yeah, what’s wrong now?” Duanmu Mo said, shoveling the snow to the side of the house.

“This doesn’t seem to be our mission, does it?” Shen Wuling tilted her head. “Cang Yuan and I both folded our cards.”

"Well, I'm just killing time anyway," Duanmu Mo said with a smile, casually brushing off the matter.

"..."

Shen Wuling didn't say anything; she knew that Duanmu Mo hadn't really intended for them to manage such a large courtyard.

"—However, you can use the power of magical girls."

Duanmu Mo leaned on his snow shovel and looked at them as he spoke.

"Oh! Then I won't be polite."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan immediately transformed, and golden flames ignited in her palms.

Flames rose, and Xi Ri placed his hand on the ground, causing golden flames to spread outwards.

Shenwuyin and Yuzhi both dislike using magical girl powers, but Xia Yan is different. She has long been accustomed to using this power. Now, the golden flames seem to have become an extension of her limbs, rapidly evaporating the snow without burning the grass and creating a large amount of smoke.

"Keep it under control." Shen Wuling looked at the smoke and shook her head helplessly. "Don't let people think our house is on fire."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xi Ri said, but still reduced the range of the golden flames.

—But looking at Cang Yuan beside her, she had already raised her hand and controlled the snow on the ground that had evaporated in the evening sun. She had already collected the snow in her hand before it turned into steam and just as it melted into water, forming it into a series of agile water snakes.

"Go."

Under the control of Cangyuan, the water snakes dispersed, swimming across a large area of ​​land except for the area of ​​Xiri, swallowing the snow, causing it to dissolve in the water snakes' bodies and continuously splitting.

In the blink of an eye, these water snakes covered the yard and even spread to the eaves, absorbing the snow on the roof as well.

When there was no more snow left in the yard, the water snakes flowed into the surrounding pipes, and the entire yard became completely clean in an instant.

Cang Yuan's operation was incredibly precise, but unlike Cang Yi, the former had not undergone any training. He simply had an extraordinary control over his own power from birth, and even though this body was now just a clone that was millions of times weaker, this feeling would not be weakened.

"Not bad." Duanmu Mo showed a satisfied look: "Truly worthy of being called Cangyuan."

"It's not something that's particularly serious..."

“This is where I excel.” Shinmuri snapped her fingers, transforming into a magical girl. “Leave the house to me, I guarantee I can clean it up easily.”

In addition to her frequently demonstrated abilities such as electronic hacking and controlling floating cannons, Fengling can also modify the structure of matter. To exaggerate a bit, she can even change the structure of matter from one element to another, and turning lead into gold is not out of the question.

So, with a command from the wind chime, the ten floating cannons dispersed, releasing harmless beams of light into the room and into every corner, clearing away the already sparse stains.

"Then it's up to you."

Xi Ri muttered defiantly, then suddenly jumped into Duanmu Mo's arms: "Hey!"

She wrapped her arms around Duanmu Mo and looked at Fengling defiantly.

"what!"

Looking at the setting sun, Fengling's face immediately turned displeased.

"Alright, alright, let's get ready."

Duanmu Mo turned his gaze away, ignoring Xi Ri's close body and Feng Ling's gaze, and walked straight into the house.

Chapter 480: Test

Cang Yuan stood aside, watching Xi Ri and Feng Ling cling tightly to Duanmu Mo's legs, one on each side, neither willing to give way.

She didn't quite understand what was so interesting about fighting over this, and she was worried that Duanmu Mo would be taken away from her.

From this perspective, they seem to lack a sense of security.

Unable to understand what these young people were thinking, Cang Yuan turned to look at the fish tank and gazed at the fish.

Cangyuan is different; he never has to worry about Duanmu Mo being taken away.

"...Can you please let me go?" Duanmu Mo said helplessly, "I can't read the newspaper like this."

"What's so interesting about your tattered newspaper? Be careful you don't end up an old man," Yuhi snorted, sounding displeased.

"Times have changed now," Duanmu Mo said. Suddenly, a series of news articles were projected onto Duanmu Mo's screen in the form of newspapers.

"Why......"

"Here, have some snacks."

Not to be outdone, Xi Ri offered a Pocky stick to Duanmu Mo.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry." Duanmu Mo turned his head away, feeling a headache coming on from their enthusiasm.

Just when he thought he was going to keep going like this until Shen Wuyin returned, the three magical girls simultaneously sensed a strange aura and paused slightly in their movements.

"A strange person?" Duanmu Mo asked with a look of delight.

"Yes—besides, what are you so happy about?" The Pocky he'd been chewing on wiggled with her words, and only released it when he heard it in Duanmu Mo's mouth, saying:

“We’re leaving now. This aura is quite strong; it’s probably those three.” The three that Xi Ri was referring to were naturally Neville, Leviathan, and the Netherworld Key of the Dead Dragon. Given the urgency of the situation, she didn’t dwell on it any longer and quickly got up to leave.

"Okay, then be careful." Duanmu Mo nodded, sitting on the sofa and eating a Pocky stick.

It is estimated that this battle is a test of Leviathan's strength, and Duanmu Mo has no reason to participate in this operation.

Even from home, Sui Kou could see the battle unfolding with Duanmu Mo and Cang Yuan.

Watching the two leave, Cang Yuan sat down next to Duanmu Mo and watched TV with him.

The television's perspective shifted rapidly, reflecting the wind chime's speed, and a few seconds later, the two saw two figures.

One hanged ghost... and the other was also a hanged ghost.

"Oh? There are so many hanged ghosts?" Duanmu Mo said, feigning surprise.

“Its true form has many more, as you have seen before,” Cang Yuan said from the side. “However, this hanged ghost with so many tentacles seems to be specially made for it.”

"Don't you have a way to intercept it within the seal?" Duanmu Mo asked.

“My abilities can easily tear souls apart, but if Leviathan’s spirit is hidden, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Cang Yuan shook his head.

"Is that so..." Duanmu Mo looked at the TV in front of him, and it was the usual trash talk segment.

In Duanmu Mo's view, there are only two purposes for saying such things: one is to affect the enemy's fighting will, and the other is to provoke his own anger.

Duanmu Mo belongs to the first type; as long as he can weaken the enemy, he will keep talking trash and spieling. The magical girls, on the other hand, obviously belong to the second type.

Seeing this, Duanmu Mo suddenly stood up silently and walked towards the door.

—This action naturally puzzled Cang Yuan, who asked, "What are you doing?"

"...I need to use the restroom."

"The restroom?" Cang Yuan looked at Duanmu Mo, who had walked into the entrance hall, and then at the interior, his face even more puzzled. "You've come to the wrong place, haven't you?"

“I go to the firm; it feels more like home there.”

"......ha?"

"Just kidding." Seeing Cang Yuan's stunned expression, Duanmu Mo chuckled. "Actually, I was just going to get something, some car washing tools. I'll be right back."

"oh......"

Cang Yuan nodded and watched Duanmu Mo leave.

—The motorcycle drove out of the house and quickly returned to the office.

Duanmu Mo took the car wash tools and then looked in the direction from which the battle had taken place.

His sudden return was certainly not just to pick up some tools. Although he could easily stay home and slack off now, it was better to "make an appearance" just in case.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve used you, ‘Crow Flock’.”

Duanmu Mo took out a card. The card, which fused the power of the Embrace Blade and the Old Raven, had an even greater ability to create clones. Even without handing over the other cards, he could temporarily use the card power possessed by his main body.

This way, you won't have to figure out how to recycle those cards after they explode...

Duanmu Mo briefly transformed into a monster form, placed the crows on his fanged belt, and a clone immediately appeared in front of him.

The crow's clone nodded to Duanmu Mo, then turned into a shadow and disappeared into the distance.

After doing all this, Duanmu Mo took the tools and returned home.

"Phew, I'm back. Now Xia Yan and the others can wash the car after they finish their battle."

Duanmu Mo quickly returned and sat down next to Cang Yuan.

The magical girls have now begun their battle; not only Yuhi and Fuurin, but two other magical girls have also joined the fight.

"It's a bit cold here, having rushed over like this," Duanmu Mo said with a smile, facing Cang Yuan's gaze.

"So, would you like to warm up a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yuan raised his hand towards Duanmu Mo, and heat rose from his palm: "My clone is made of water, so controlling the warmth of water is not difficult."

"Ah, thank you very much."

Duanmu Mo held Cangyuan's hand, feeling the warmth of her hand, and watched the television together.

. . . . . .

Boom boom boom!

The loud bang came from the deserted island. The hanged ghost didn't put up much resistance when it was thrown there by the magical girls. As a test, it needed the magical girls to unleash their power without any restraint.

The two hanged ghosts glanced around and looked at the five magical girls in the sky—strictly speaking, one of them was just a clone.

Even as a clone, the pressure it exerts should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, it was just a clone; otherwise, given the magical girl's demonstrated mastery of her power, she would have been their biggest obstacle if she had become the real thing.

"It can't be..." The two hanged ghosts glanced at Cang Yi, then looked at the other four.
