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

Xia Tong was playing with the cards that the Shadow Camellia had transformed into when he suddenly realized that he could draw power from them. He wondered if it was related to the Guardian Contract.

Xia Tong then began trying to absorb the energy within, but after a short while, the shadowy camellia inside couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop inhaling!"

Shadow Camellia returned to her original form, then said angrily, "What's going on? You were able to take my power directly from me."

"I don't know."

Xia Tong scratched the back of her head awkwardly. "Could it be because of that contract?"

Shadow Chun stood with her hands on her hips, her cheeks still flushed from the energy being drained, her tone full of indignation: "It must be that damn contract! Before, only I could control my own energy, but now you're just absorbing it like it's your own stuff!"

Actually, she didn't know the reason either, because in her memory, Chun had only recently become Xia An'an's guardian spirit, and she had never heard of such a thing as "being drained of energy in reverse".

Xia Tong quickly waved her hand, then poked her arm curiously, "I didn't mean to... By the way, are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

However, Shadow Spring was in a fit of anger and didn't want to pay any more attention to Xia Tong. She crossed her arms and turned her head to the side.

Looking at her like this, Xia Tong thought for a moment, wondering if that one would be okay.

Then she went downstairs and brought up a pudding, which she then handed to Shadow Tsubaki.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll give you some delicious pudding."

An Yingchun's gaze was still fixed on the corner of the wall, but when she smelled the sweet aroma of pudding, her head moved involuntarily.

She stole a glance at the pudding, her mouth watering slightly, but she stubbornly refused to turn around: "Who, who wants to eat your food..."

That's what she said, but she loosened her arms a little.

Seeing this, Xia Tong handed the pudding to her again and continued, "Consider it my apology. This pudding is super delicious and will help soothe your discomfort from earlier."

After holding back for two seconds, Shadow Chun finally couldn't resist and reached out to take the pudding, but her movements as she scooped it out with the spoon were much gentler.

She ate while muttering, "This...this is what you begged me to eat! It has nothing to do with forgiving you, I just didn't want to waste it..."

"Chun, how are you doing now?" Xia Tong asked her.

As she ate, Shadow Tsubaki said, "Actually... it's not a big problem. The energy I used up... I can slowly recover on my own."

"So that means that carrying your cards will be like carrying a backup hidden energy source!" Xia Tong's eyes lit up.

Shadow Tsubaki had just put the last spoonful of pudding into her mouth when she heard this and instantly choked, coughing and blushing. She put down the spoon and glared at him: "Backup hidden energy? What do you take me for! A battery?"

Xia Tong then quietly took out a mango-flavored pudding from behind her back.

"No, I was just thinking that if I run out of magic power during battle or in other situations, I'll have to rely on you, Tsubaki-sama."

Shadow Tsubaki's gaze was instantly drawn to the mango pudding. Her furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but she still maintained her haughty demeanor, letting out a soft snort: "You know how to talk... but don't think you can bribe me with pudding! When it comes to battle, if you dare to give orders recklessly, I don't care if you have enough magic power!"

Despite saying that, her hand had already reached out to the pudding.

Seeing this, Xia Tong simply pushed the pudding in front of her and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Chun-sama. How about this mango pudding as a thank you gift for 'reserving' energy from you in advance?"

Shadow Camellia immediately picked up the pudding, scooping it out even faster than before. The sweet aroma of mango mixed with the milky fragrance spread in her mouth. She mumbled indistinctly, "This, this is what you gave me willingly, not what I asked for... But if you need to use my power, you have to tell me in advance."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she completely forgot her previous anger.

Just as she finished eating the pudding, she sensed something unpleasant. "Hmm? It seems like that flower fairy magician and the good-for-nothing prince are back."

"My sister and Kukuru are back?"

Xia Tong had only taken one step when he realized something. He immediately turned back to look at Shadow Chun, "Chun, quickly turn back into a card. Don't let Kukuru see you."

"Why?" Shadow Chun asked, frowning.

"As you know, the continent of Labbel is extremely hostile to darkness. Furthermore, Kukuru is unaware that you have already ascended from a shadow to become the Shadow Elf King."

Xia Tong's voice softened, "If he sees you, it'll be troublesome."

Shadow Camellia pouted, still somewhat reluctant, but a faint glow emanated from her body as she transformed back into her card form, muttering, "Okay, okay, what a nuisance..."

The card landed gently in Xia Tong's palm. He quickly stuffed the card into his pocket, patted it to make sure it was in place, and then turned to go to the door.

As Xia Tong reached the top of the stairs, she heard Xia An'an's voice from downstairs: "Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong, your older sister can transform now!"

"Transformation?"

Xia Tong paused, then curiously continued walking down the path.

When he walked into the living room, he saw Xia An'an holding the transformation item in one hand and waving the essence representing Chun in the other.

When Xia An'an saw him come down, her eyes lit up: "I'll show you!"

As she spoke, she infused her essence into the prop, and a clear incantation echoed in the living room: "The power of love, beauty, and wisdom, the great Popula Flower Goddess bears witness! In the name of Xia An'an, the owner of the Flower Codex and the Flower Fairy Magician, I transform!"

When the light faded, Xia An'an was dressed in a magical girl outfit adorned with camellia elements, holding a Flower Fairy Magician's Staff in her hand. Her skirt shimmered with a faint light, and her face was full of joy.

"Wow!"

Xia Tong leaned closer, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the clothes she was wearing. "So amazing."

After all, this was the first time I had seen the real thing; the transformations I had seen before were all in videos.

Even in the magical world of my previous life, such a transformation was quite rare.

"It's just a basic transformation, why are you making such a fuss?"

Kukuru flew to Xia An'an's head and poked her bun.

Xia An'an immediately glared at him and slapped him away: "Kukuru! What do you know!"

Then Kukuru flapped its wings and flew to Xia Tong, hands on its hips, and asked, "Commoner, where's that shadow from before?"

"Hmm? She..."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Tong said to Kukuru, "She's gone."

"Disappeared?" Kukuru confirmed.

"right……"

Kukuru put his hands on his hips, reverting to his arrogant self, and laughed heartily, "As expected, that evil shadow can't last long."

At that moment, the card in his pocket vibrated slightly. Xia Tong quickly pressed his pocket with his hand. He could feel that the Shadow Chun in the card seemed to give a soft "humph," probably because it was disgusted by Kukuru.

Xia Tong rolled her eyes at him, then echoed his words, "Maybe, after all, she's never been very stable to begin with."

Xia Tong then secretly clenched her pocket, afraid that the cards would make too much noise and be discovered, so she quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, now that you can transform, you can subdue the Flower Fairy King, right?"

As he spoke, he gave Xia An'an a thumbs up, saying, "Sister, your outfit is really beautiful."

These words successfully drew Kukuru's attention, and he flapped his wings and flew to Xia An'an's side.

Afterwards, Kukuru gave An'an a box specifically for storing the essence of the Flower Fairy King. "Oh right, An'an. Since you're going to help this prince collect the Flower Fairy King, then this prince will... lend it to you."

After their attention shifted away from Xia Tong, Xia Tong secretly patted her pocket and whispered to An Ying Chun, "Don't worry about it, I'll give you strawberry pudding later."

The vibration in her pocket immediately subsided, as if Shadow Camellia had acquiesced to the "compensation condition." Only a faint light shone on the card, proving that she was still secretly watching the movements in the living room.
