Just then, a childlike voice suddenly rang out.

A pair of slender, jet-black arms suddenly appeared from behind Bai Xiaoxiao and shoved her hard.

"what!"

Bai Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted, and when she turned around, she saw a figure completely submerged in black shadows slowly dissipating.

What, what is that?!

Snapped!

At the critical moment, a dark purple figure rushed over, grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao's arm, and dragged her up.

"You, you are...?!"

Bai Xiaoxiao slumped to the ground on the rooftop of the unfinished building, her sailor uniform covered in dust.

She looked at the girl in the dark purple dress with surprise.

Upon hearing this, Nightingale wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "That scared me to death, thank goodness we arrived in time."

As she spoke, a tiny scythe emerged from her fingertip. With a gentle twist of her index finger and thumb, the blade transformed into a giant scythe amidst the boiling purple magic.

Magical girl...?

Bai Xiaoxiao stared blankly at this scene.

In front of the two, a figure filled with resentment appeared once again.

"That's strange."

Nightingale, with her back to Bai Xiaoxiao, spoke with a hint of curiosity:

"Your magical energy fluctuations have clearly reached the awakening threshold, so why haven't you awakened? Is it because of what's on your mind?"

As the nightingale fought the witch, wielding her scythe, she continued speaking:

"Although I can't fully understand your feelings, I hope you won't make a decision that you and your family will regret."

As she spoke, Nightingale's scythe cleaved through the figure's back, and with an explosion, the witch who had been luring people around the area and inciting them to commit suicide was completely annihilated.

"Phew...finally done."

The nightingale breathed a sigh of relief, and slammed the scythe heavily onto the ground.

"Oh, right." She turned around, about to say something more to Bai Xiaoxiao.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoxiao saw a pair of slender, jet-black arms quickly reach out from the shadows behind her and touch Nightingale's neck.

"Come and play!"

The childlike voice rang out again.

Not the same witch!

Upon hearing the sound, the purple kitten instantly broke out in a cold sweat, its fur nearly standing on end. Instinctively, it picked up its scythe and turned to smash it behind it.

But it seems we were a step too late.

As those strange arms were about to touch Nightingale, Bai Xiaoxiao's emotions reached their peak.

"call out!"

An arrow made entirely of water vapor struck the nightingale's arm behind her back, freezing her firmly in mid-air.

Nightingale's scythe struck the opponent, shattering both arms completely.

As she instantly stepped back, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at the white-haired girl beside her who had collapsed to her knees after exhausting herself with the magic.

"You've successfully transformed!" she exclaimed in surprise.

The staff in the opponent's hand was still covered with a layer of frost.

Bai Xiaoxiao was panting softly, looking down at her pure white gothic dress with a sense of disbelief.

This was the first time she had successfully used a magic spell; she never succeeded again.

Nightingale remained on guard for a while, and only after confirming that the witch's aura had completely dissipated did she look at Bai Xiaoxiao, who had fallen to the ground.

She walked over, took Bai Xiaoxiao's hand, and helped her up, gently congratulating her, "Congratulations, you really succeeded."

"I....?"

Bai Xiaoxiao still finds it hard to believe.

There was no elaborate ceremony, nor any earth-shattering determination; she simply transformed herself through subconscious action.

Nightingale nodded and turned to look at the night sky: "I've heard that the birth of every magical girl is predestined."

"And when they lose their goals and dreams, and become obsessed with the pursuit of power and obsession, they will degenerate into terrible witches."

The stars in the sky shone brightly.

The nightingale's dark skirt swayed gently in the wind, like a blooming violet, both vibrant and understated.

She held the scythe behind her back, turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao, and asked with a smile, "What is your reason for becoming a magical girl?"

"I....."

Bai Xiaoxiao gazed at the other person, her deepest thoughts about to surface at that moment:

"I want to believe that none of this ever happened!"

Upon hearing this...

The smile in the nightingale's eyes vanished instantly, and her dark purple eyes suddenly contracted.

Because she saw the almost twisted and terrifying obsession in Bai Xiaoxiao.

Chapter Nineteen: Bai Xiaoxiao's Cake, Mo Xiaochuan Awakens

When Mo Zhen got home, it was almost 2 a.m.

She parked her bicycle, took out her keys and opened the door. While she was changing her shoes in the entryway, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps coming from the second floor.

Looking up, she met the gaze of Bai Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a bear-patterned nightgown and looked flustered.

Realizing she might have been a little too hasty, Bai Xiaoxiao's ears turned red, and she quickly pulled her head back.

But in the end, his worries outweighed his other thoughts.

She poked her head out again and asked, "Where did you go? Why are you so late?"

Mo Zhen replied without batting an eye, "I went to a karaoke bar with my friends."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao felt a little aggrieved. She puffed out her cheeks, ran back to her room, and closed the door.

She worried about it for so long!

He picked up the pillow from the ground, gritted his teeth, and punched it twice: "Idiot!"

"I worried about you for nothing..."

"Absolutely, absolutely, I'll never talk to you again!"

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could finish venting, there was a sudden knock on the door behind her. Without turning around, Bai Xiaoxiao said, "I'm going to sleep!"

Mo Zhen's voice came from outside the door: "Are you angry?"

Bai Xiaoxiao vehemently denied it: "No!"

Mo Zhen: "That means you're angry."

As he spoke, he opened the door and picked up a four-inch cake in his hand: "Here, I bought this for you, Black Forest Chocolate."

Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned, and sat on the bed hugging her pillow: "Give, give this to me...?"

Mo Zhen put down the cake, turned around and left: "Going to take a shower. Good night, remember to brush your teeth after you finish eating the cake."

Bai Xiaoxiao was left bewildered, staring at the cake on the desk.

Mo Zhen closed the door behind her, went back to her room to get her clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

He pushed his black hair back from his forehead, closed his eyes, and stood under the shower, letting the hot water wash away his fatigue.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao sat in a chair in the room, looking at the cake, remembering what Senior Wuhua had told her...

Perhaps the senior is right. If she wants to reconcile with her brother, she shouldn't let him be the only one making sacrifices.

She should take the initiative.

For the sake of the cake!

Half an hour later, Mo Zhen walked out of the bathroom.

He returned to his room with his hair still wet, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Xiaoxiao lying on his desk.

She seemed extremely sleepy, resting her head on her arms, yawning as she stared at the small cake cut into four pieces in front of her.

I was so sleepy that I didn't even notice that the strap of my nightgown had slipped down to my wrist on my left shoulder.

Why are you so slow...?

Hearing the door open, Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and looked up at Mo Zhen, completely forgetting the words she had prepared in her mind.

Her ears were red, and she said, "I can't finish the cake by myself."
