Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Even now, Qingluan still finds it hard to forget that she went to the General Administration's hospital to visit her senior and Iris. As soon as she entered the hospital, Xingxuan ran straight to Iris's room.

When she chased into the room, she saw a scene that left her speechless—four halos floated above the iris, layered on top of each other like steps to the sky, shooting out dazzling lights like those in a disco. The TV on the wall was playing the bunny dance and the little bunny song "Heaschenlied." The iris lay peacefully on the bed, while Xingxuan stood by the bed with her back against the door, praying and murmuring as if she were mourning the deceased.

Then he suddenly opened his arms and shouted:

"Resurrect!"

"My—senior—"

She was immediately pulled out, much to the shock of the other magical girls.

Given that she was genuinely showing concern for her close friend in her own way, Qingluan hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided not to take offense at her offense.

After all, she is a mature, calm, steady, quick-witted, honest, hardworking, nostalgic, brave, and generous magical girl.

It wasn't until she led Xingxuan to her senior's room, and when she took out the card her senior had given her, reminiscing about her senior, that things changed.

Xingxuan shouted from the side in a shocked and envious voice, "A million-year soul ring!"

If it weren't for the other magical girls stopping her, she probably would have given that girl a good beating.

I'll definitely beat her black and blue.

Even so, Xingxuan was too frightened to say anything more along the way by her angry appearance.

Xingxuan is considered her junior. In reality, Qingluan and Xingxuan are not very close. Every year, a large number of juniors come from the General Administration.

We only met once at most.

However, Xingxuan is indeed very famous because her fascination with the Doumo Continent once made her an oddball in the General Administration.

When I occasionally run into him, he's usually a loner.

He muttered phrases like "That's not how a Soul Master cultivates," "Three things that must not be humiliated," and "From the highest heavens to the deepest hells, under the bright moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges," which sounded impressive but were actually quite incomprehensible.

No one wants to associate with such a crazy person, and Xingxuan herself wouldn't take the initiative to associate with others.

Aside from discussing the Doumo Continent, Xingxuan mostly prefers to read novels alone, or to create her own stories in a whimsical and unconventional way.

Even the usually carefree Iris was once scared away by Xingxuan.

On the way back to the North Sea Disaster Prevention Bureau, I noticed Xingxuan's depressed state.

Qingluan had calmed down and was wondering if she should try to ease the tension—after all, they had both transferred from the Disaster Management Bureau to Beihai.

Now they have even carried out a mission together, helping the Qingyun Sect clear up the misunderstanding at the Disaster Management Bureau.

It's better to communicate more.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they started talking about Senior Jin Cha, Xingxuan immediately responded with this comment.

Although Qingluan didn't know who Bibixi was, she knew that the other party must be referring to a character from the Doumo Continent.

"Hmm, something seems off about Bibixi too. Senior Jin Cha isn't the most powerful person in the General Administration, is it? Hmm, it should be Wan Renyu?"

"But Senior Jin Cha doesn't know Senior Bai San at all, or Wan Dao Liu... Confused, we're on the prequel timeline! It's normal that Bai San and Wan Ren Yu don't know each other. But it's okay if the timelines are messed up. We don't even know which came first, Doumo Continent 2 or Doumo Continent 1!"

"In short, don't get too hung up on things in the Demon Fighting Continent. Ilex is still alive..."

"Hey, Senior Qingluan, since we're all weapon spirit masters who betrayed the Spirit Hall, let's get along well!"

I shouldn't have talked to her in the first place!

A little regretful for speaking out of turn, Qingluan instinctively hugged the fluffy doll and sighed softly.

She had gotten used to having Xiaobai around, and every time this happened, she felt a little lost.

Of course I won't regret it.

She is a mature, calm, steady, quick-witted, honest, hardworking, nostalgic, brave, generous, and determined magical girl.

But in life, when someone who is always by your side suddenly disappears, there will always be a period of time when you feel uncomfortable.

Xingxuan, who was standing next to her, started rambling on about the content of the Doumo Continent.

The story goes something like the Slime Seven Monsters will eventually defeat the Disaster Management Bureau and save the world.

This guy joined the Qingyun Sect with the goal of becoming one of the Seven Slime Monsters.

"Senior Qingluan is also planning to become one of the Seven Monsters of Slime, right? After all, besides Jiang Yuhao, there are millions... Ah!" Xingxuan, who was in high spirits, suddenly stopped, then smiled guiltily, "Sorry, Senior, I almost..."

baffling.

Ignoring Xingxuan, Qingluan, clutching her doll, couldn't help but think of her father again.

After leaving the remains of the Heart Image, she told Dong Jun of the Qingyun Sect that she wanted to join the Qingyun Sect, and then went home.

In just a few days, whether it was my imagination or something else, my father looked much more haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years.

There were many things I didn't need to tell my father.

After all, it was just the death of a pet, just as my father said.

No matter what, a pet is just a pet. The fact that it saved Iris is enough.

However, when her father actually hugged her, comforted her, and asked her what had happened, whether she had encountered any danger, and if she had any grievances to tell him, she was surprised.

Qingluan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears in her father's arms.

She poured out everything that had happened to her father during this period.

This includes the fact that Iris killed Shiro herself when she was hurt by Shiro in order to protect her from Mankai.

She almost cried as she finished speaking, barely able to control her emotions.

The once fierce father listened silently, patted her head with satisfaction, and told her that she had done the right thing and that her mother would be proud of her.

In a daze, Qingluan cried herself to sleep, and was later carried back to her bedroom by her father.

That night was the most peaceful night Qingluan had ever slept. Her father stayed outside her door all night, waiting for her to wake up before going downstairs to buy some breakfast.

For some reason, those steamed buns tasted exceptionally good.

Later, her father confessed that the Disaster Management Bureau had informed him long ago, and that he knew she had become a magical girl. He just didn't know how to communicate with her, or even whether he should let her continue.

But now, her father thinks it's not a bad thing for her to become a magical girl.

If you like it, then do it; do what you feel is right and makes you happy.

If she encounters any setbacks or pain and decides she doesn't want to continue, she can always go home; home is always her last resort.

Before leaving, her father bought her another cat doll.

Now, Qingluan carries this thing with her as a substitute for Xiaobai.

Sometimes when I feel lonely, I hug my fluffy doll.

As Beihai drew closer, I relaxed a little.

Although he entered the Qingyun Sect under the pretext of "Jie Mankai," the incident involving Xiaobai actually occurred.

Even if the Qingyun Sect didn't know the secret of Mankai, she would still join the Qingyun Sect.

Because the Qingyun Sect is a place not controlled by the incubators, Senior Jin Cha had told her about this before.

To uncover the secrets of Mankai, one must leave the Disaster Management Bureau.

Of course, Qingluan's primary task now is to pass the inner sect test.

Before being sent to the headquarters to explain that the Qingyun Sect had no intention of going to war with the Disaster Management Bureau, she had already failed twice...

Who would have thought that the inner sect assessment of the Qingyun Sect would be so abnormal?

Qingluan was even worried that if she continued taking the exams like this, it would be a huge question whether she could pass this year.

Thinking this, she glanced at the carefree Xingxuan across from her again, "Did you pass the inner sect test?"

"of course not."

They were absolutely clear about it, not worried at all.

Aren't you afraid you won't be able to pass the test again?

"Oh, you don't know this, senior," Xingxuan said confidently. "Generally speaking, the protagonist either passes the test with the highest score and high profile, or he barely passes by being at the bottom. In short, don't worry. Passing later means that we have accumulated knowledge and experience, and we are slow to mature and have strong staying power!"

"And what about the middle one?"

"I don't like watching roadside... or Gou Daoliu's stuff."

They're quite picky.

"What if it still doesn't pass?"

“Senior Qingluan…” Xingxuan looked at Qingluan with a pitiful expression, “Why did you say such a cruel thing…”

That's just how reality is.

Although I didn't really like that this girl had mistaken the card given to her by her senior for a "million-year soul ring".

However, going to the Qingyun Sect would ultimately mean being all alone. Having a companion who also came from the Disaster Prevention Bureau would be a good way to look after each other.

I could have come with Senior Jincha.

But Jin Cha told her to stay at the headquarters and talk to the younger generation about the details of the Qingyun Sect so that everyone at the headquarters could have better dealings with the Qingyun Sect. So she came to Beihai ahead of them.

They said they wanted to reach a new cooperation agreement with the Qingyun Sect.

Although Qingluan didn't know what it was, she could clearly sense that the atmosphere at the Disaster Management Bureau headquarters was not quite right.

There must be some terrible enemy about to appear, otherwise Senior Jin Cha wouldn't be in such a hurry to cooperate with the Qingyun Sect...

Most importantly, it seems that even the incubators support this.

Unfortunately, she is no longer a member of the Disaster Management Bureau and therefore cannot obtain more information.

Speaking of which, I wonder how Senior Jin Cha is doing in Beihai.

As a senior like Jin Cha, she must have received a grand welcome.

Even the Qingyun Sect couldn't possibly face Senior Jin Cha...

The next moment, Xingxuan beside her suddenly fell!

Qingluan instinctively grabbed Xingxuan, quickly realizing something was wrong.

How did Xingxuan revert to her transformation?

"careful!"
