Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

Gu Yun flashed and jumped straight off the top floor.

The night wind howled and whistled through the skeletons of the tall buildings, the exposed steel bars and gray cement walls getting closer and closer, making her dress rustle.

Then, he stepped onto the rusty steel beam that was protruding across the wall, and with the force of his feet, his body defied gravity and rose several meters into the air. He then fell down again, and once again pushed off the wall and soared into the air.

She kept using this momentum to jump back and forth on the rooftop, testing her current mobility.

The feeling of weightlessness kept coming, and the slight stinging from the night wind brushing against his cheeks made Gu Yun certain that it was all real.

Finally, I landed steadily back on the original floor. Apart from being a little short of breath, I felt almost no discomfort.

The heavy shackles on her left calf jingled constantly with her movements, but they did not affect her actions.

Through continuous, subtle adjustments, it managed to achieve a delicate balance during the high-speed movements.

"Perfect."

Gu Yun clapped his hands, feeling fairly satisfied.

Although the inexplicable shackles on her legs after the transformation made her feel very uncomfortable, she figured it was probably a characteristic of magical girls, and there seemed to be no other way but to adapt.

"Perfect my ass!"

Realizing that Gu Yun seemed to be pretending not to hear her, Nightingale's muttering grew louder and louder.

"Look at my Golden Core! Take a look at it, I don't believe you're blind! It already has many cracks from being beaten, and this is the result of my decades of hard work!"

"Your haphazard actions just now have further depleted your already limited demonic essence. Such precious power at this stage, and you used it to cut a few pillars and jump around a bit?"

This isn't some other world where you can't attract attention by doing a great high jump.

"Can you please shut up?"

Gu Yun finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She reached up and rubbed her temples. After all, there was something in her head that was making a lot of noise, and it was quite loud, which was affecting her train of thought.

"This is really annoying."

She walked to the edge of the rooftop and sat down, her legs dangling in the air, completely oblivious to the fact that she was dozens of meters above the ground below.

"It's just a little bit of your energy, what's the big deal?"

Gu Yun spoke irritably, his tone full of disapproval.

"And how can this be called reckless behavior? It's just reasonable and a necessary price to pay. If you can't even fully control your body's parameters, how can you perfectly fake it?"

All I can say is that this Golden Core stage demonic cultivator has the strength, but his brain is probably not very sharp.

What era are we living in? They're still clinging to this old-fashioned "The Way of the Demonic Cultivator".

What's the use of having great power? If you get discovered by magical girls, you'll just get a beating from the crowd and become a nobody on the street.

If it weren't for Gu Yun, he would probably have been annihilated by now.

Only by developing their own magical girl disguise method can they truly follow the right path in this new era.

Only by disguising oneself as a magical girl and successfully blending in can one be invincible from the start.

It's normal to experience some losses, after all, this is the first time we've tried it. Being able to succeed already shows how gifted we are.

"Let me do some more research, and I'm sure I can reduce the losses."

Gu Yun muttered to himself, then fell into deep thought again.

"It was just a matter of using some energy?"

The nightingale was even angrier, and felt like she couldn't breathe.

"That's my Golden Core! My very foundation, my very lifeblood! If it shatters now, we're both finished. Do you even know what cultivation is?"

If she hadn't encountered this situation, she would have already started trying to use her remaining demonic essence to repair her golden core.

"I don't understand cultivation, but I do understand magical girls."

Gu Yun looked at the neon lights of the city in the distance, his violet eyes reflecting the shimmering light.

"As long as I can win and survive, I don't care what it is. But you, as someone who resides in my body... well, old lady, can't you have some manners as a powerful demon? Stop muttering to yourself all day long."

She didn't know exactly how old Nightingale was, but according to the novel, since she could be called the Golden Core Ancestor, she must be quite old.

My mind immediately quieted down.

After several seconds, Nightingale finally spoke, her voice strained as if squeezed out from between her teeth, each word distinct and deliberate.

"I'm only twenty-seven years old this year. Among Golden Core cultivators, I'm a premature genius, not some old lady!"

"oh."

Gu Yun shrugged, ignoring her impotent rage, and turned his gaze to the most conspicuous building in the distance.

Iris Flower Stadium.

Even from this distance, she could see the promotional video for the popular magical girl idol group playing on the huge screen.

In the past, this would have only aroused a sense of urgency in Gu Yun's heart.

I feel like a magical girl might burst into my house at any moment, yelling, "Damn you demonic monster from beyond the realm, obediently accept the judgment of justice!"

And now—

I'm a magical girl now!

"Alright, test over."

Gu Yun patted her skirt and stood up, a slight smile appearing on her delicate face.

"The first step has been achieved; it's time to go back and work on the follow-up plan."

Just then, a slight noise, not the sound of wind, came from the stairwell.

It sounded like a shoe accidentally stepping on gravel; the sound was very soft, but it was exceptionally clear in this empty, unfinished building.

Gu Yun's eyes narrowed instantly.

His entire body tensed instinctively, and with a flick of his wrist, a faint purplish-black light gathered once more in his palm.

Even the nightingale's complaints ceased, replaced by a short, sharp warning.

"Someone's coming, be careful!"

Both of them were now extremely suspicious, fearing that the magical girl from before had discovered something was wrong and was now tracking them down.

"Squeak—"

The rusty metal door, hastily erected on top of the unfinished building, emitted a teeth-grinding scraping sound that was particularly jarring in the night.

A gap was pushed open, and a foot wearing a white sneaker cautiously peeked out.

Next up was a young girl who looked quite young.

She was wearing a regular convenience store part-time uniform and carrying a powerful flashlight. The beam of light swayed a few times and shone directly on Gu Yun.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes.

Then, she subconsciously straightened her spine, her elaborate and gorgeous black Gothic Lolita dress shimmering under the beam of light.

The girl was clearly taken aback.

Her gaze moved from Gu Yun's incredibly delicate face to her long, black-purple gradient hair, and finally settled on the broken iron chain shackles dragging on her right calf.

"Magic...magical girl?"
