Flower Fairy: After transmigrating again, I became An'an's younger brother.

A silence fell over the living room.

The light at the tip of the magic wand seemed to be extinguished by an invisible force, vanishing instantly.

Xia An'an's hand holding the magic wand froze in mid-air, her expectation and excitement freezing on her face, then turning into bewilderment.

"Eh?"

Her voice was incredibly soft and sweet; she had thought that as long as she said the name, everything would fall into place.

Kukuru was the first to explode in anger. He flew to the Ninth Prince, his little face flushed red with rage: "You...you dare to refuse the alliance with the Flower Fairy Magician?! Do you know she is the destined magician?!"

"I know."

The old man's answer was concise: "I have the right to choose my allies. At least for now, I cannot approve of her."

"What did you say?!"

The scene became incredibly awkward.

Xia An'an looked completely bewildered, her shoulders slumping slightly. Kukuru flew around anxiously nearby, muttering things like "ungrateful wretch."

Uh, my sister is really upset.

Seeing An'an's expression, Xia Tong reached out and gently grabbed her shoulder, shaking her gently.

"Sister, cheer up!"

His intervention instantly drew everyone's attention in the living room.

"What's wrong, Xiaotong?"

Xia An'an looked at Xia Tong with a disappointed expression, "Hmm, it seems I'm not the magician they're looking for..."

"You're too impatient."

Xia Tong sighed softly and continued, "What Chun just said about subduing someone has two conditions."

"Two conditions?" ×2

Xia An'an and Kukuru exclaimed in unison, exchanged a glance, and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

"Chun, aren't you going to say something?" Xia Tong turned to look at Chun, who was floating to the side.

Chun then floated to Xia An'an's side, her pale red wings fluttering gently, and said in a gentle voice, "An'an, knowing your name is just a prerequisite; gaining recognition is the key."

So...

Xia Tong gently pinched An An's soft cheek without any politeness. "Sister, you haven't passed the Nine Thousand Years' test yet."

Xia An'an was stunned for a moment, and the disappointment in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of sudden realization.

Kukuru stopped complaining, scratched his head, and said, "So there was this condition too..."

Xia An'an took a deep breath, gripped the magic wand tightly, and her eyes regained their resolve.

Then she raised her head and bowed slightly to the Ninth Prince: "Ninth Prince, I'm sorry, I was too eager for quick success. Then... then what should I do to gain your approval?"

A barely perceptible shift flickered in the deep red pupils of the Ninth Thousand Year Old. She gently flapped her wings and raised her hand to summon countless pale pink plum blossom petals.

Petals swirled and enveloped the people in the living room like a vortex. After a flash of light, they vanished without a trace, except for one—

Where did they go?

At this moment, Xia Tong looked at the empty living room and scratched her head blankly.

"The Ninth Prince sent them all to her own alternate dimension."

The card in Xia Tong's pocket flew out automatically, transforming into the shape of Shadow Camellia in the air, its dark red wings gleaming with a cold, chilling light.

"An alternate dimension?"

"Yes, that's her ability." Shadow Tsubaki nodded, her red eyes fixed on him.

"So, my sister is currently undergoing the Nine Thousand Year Old's test in another dimension?"

Xia Tong frowned. "Kukuru and Tsubaki can go in, so why can't I?"

"Who knows..."

Shadow Camellia responded casually, then suddenly reached out her hands, her cold fingers gently cupping his face.

Feeling the cold touch of her hands on her face, Xia Tong realized something was wrong but didn't pull away. She simply asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

"Stay away from the other me from now on." Shadow Tsubaki's voice carried a hint of awkwardness.

"what?"

Xia Tong was a little confused by her words and subconsciously asked, "You don't like her?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that it was quite normal for the two sides to dislike each other.

"Yes, I don't like her."

An Ying Chun already disliked Chun, and she became even more annoyed when she saw Chun touching Xia Tong's head, even though she had never touched it before.

"Well... actually, that Tsubaki has already been captured by my sister. If she hadn't been summoned, she wouldn't have been able to come out at all."

"Is that so..."

After hearing Xia Tong's explanation, Shadow Chun also realized that after the Flower Fairy King was subdued and returned to its original position as essence, it would fall into a deep sleep and would only wake up when summoned.

"Can you let go now?"

At this moment, Shadow Chun's fingertips were still on Xia Tong's cheek, and the cold touch felt like two soft ice cubes were placed on her face.

Shadow Camellia paused for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening. Then, it abruptly released its grip, flapped its wings, and flew back a little, avoiding Xia Tong's gaze.

A fleeting hint of panic flashed in her red eyes, but it was quickly masked by her usual coldness. She retorted defiantly, "Do you think I want to hold on forever?"

Xia Tong rubbed her cheeks, which were a little numb from the cold, and used magic to relieve the numbness. She couldn't help but complain, "Your hands are so cold. I feel like I could freeze a can of cola if I put you in it."

"I'm a snowstorm type."

Shadow Camellia turned her face away, her voice as soft as a breeze, "And..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Tong grabbed her and stuffed her into her coat on the sofa.

"What are you doing!" Shadow Tsubaki struggled inside her coat.

Shh, there's something watching us from the windowsill.

Upon hearing his words, Shadow Chun quieted down, lifted her coat slightly, and looked towards the window.

Xia Tong also turned his head and looked over, only to see a strange black cat squatting there at some point. However, as soon as he saw it, the black cat immediately jumped away.

"That is..."

Xia Tong suddenly remembered the black cat that Edwin was holding when they first met.

"It's Edwin's pet—Qiongqi."

Shadow Camellia recognized him at a glance. She threw off her coat, frowned, and said, "I should have taken care of him there earlier."

Although Edwin's strength is comparable to some ordinary Elf Kings, he still cannot defeat most Elf Kings, including the Camellia Elf King Chun.

"No, that won't work."

Xia Tong stopped Shadow Chun's crazy idea. It wasn't that he couldn't beat Edwin, but he was mainly wary of the power behind Edwin—the Flower Fairy Kingdom.

In a one-on-one fight, if it came down to it, he wouldn't lose to anyone. It's just that Xia Tong had no reason to fight those people to the death.

"If you don't want to be hunted down by people from the Labbel Continent right now, you'd better give up this idea, Tsubaki."

Shadow Camellia's wings trembled slightly, her tone filled with displeasure, her eyes gleaming with coldness. "That Qiongqi staring at this place is definitely not a good sign. Edwin is most likely nearby too. Are we just going to let them go like this?"

"There's nothing I can do."

Xia Tong shrugged. "If you really attack him, the Flower Fairy Kingdom won't stand idly by. Until you have the power to match him, you can only avoid him for now."

Meanwhile, in Andromeda Park, Edwin was sitting on a bench, listening to Qiongqi's report.

"So, the person who can use dark magic and the Flower Fairy Magician are siblings?"

Edwin gently stroked Qiongqi's fur, his tone calm and even.

"Yes, Master. His senses are very sharp; he quickly detected my presence."

Qiongqi continued, "There was a flower fairy beside him, but I couldn't sense her power. It was as if she were an ordinary person without any power."

"Oh? Even you can't tell?" A hint of doubt flashed in Edwin's eyes.

"Master, should I go and test the waters?" Qiongqi volunteered.

"No need."

Edwin shook his head. "He is indeed assisting the Flower Fairy Magician in collecting the Flower Fairy Kings right now, and there will be plenty of opportunities to observe him later."
