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

Jiang Si gave her a strange look. "What are you worried about?"

"I... I'm not worried about anything."

Bing Tang stammered for a moment, "It's not that I'm worried about Du Juan hurting you, it's mainly that I'm worried the Disaster Management Bureau will find out your identity..."

"Understood, I will pay attention."

Watching Jiang Si turn and walk away, Bing Tang hesitated for a moment before waving her hand and whispering, "You must transform!"

Once Jiang Si was out of sight, she secretly followed her. The Witch Society would definitely make its move soon, and she might run into her tonight.

Those despicable witches! If they can't force you to transform, they'll never forgive you...

Chapter Twenty-Six: Fighting Monsters with Physical Body

By the time Li Yi arrived at Jiang Keke's house, it was already getting dark.

Jiang Keke's house is quite large, with a small enclosed courtyard. The courtyard is nicely decorated and covered with a awning. There are easy-to-care-for mulberry trees planted on both sides of the door, one of which is dying and the other is dying too.

As she approached the courtyard gate, Li Yi was still pondering how to start the conversation. She was never very good at visiting other people's homes, and this time she was coming alone without bringing a gift. Coupled with Jiang Si's cold attitude, she was somewhat worried that it might be too awkward.

Before I even knocked, I heard a series of dull thuds in the yard, like something heavy hitting the ground.

Li Yi's heart sank immediately, and she quickly grasped her seed of miracle.

This sound is clearly abnormal. Could it be that the witch has already infiltrated?

I could faintly hear Coco's tired and labored breathing, as if she had just gone through a great battle.

I gently pushed the gate and found it wasn't locked, which confirmed my suspicions.

Even if it were Saturday, school would have ended long ago by now. Who wouldn't be locked up at this hour?

What an arrogant witch council! How dare they break into a magical girl's house! They're completely lawless! They have absolutely no respect for the Disaster Management Bureau!

Anger surged within her, and Li Yi flung open the door, clutching the Miracle Seed in her hand, rushing inside as she transformed. "Don't be afraid, Coco, I'm here to help you!"

In the somewhat cramped courtyard, a bicycle leaning against the wall was instantly blown over by her, and some fallen leaves also flew up.

Pink light shone throughout the small courtyard. A moment later, the transformed Silver Lotus froze, holding her magic wand with a solemn expression. On the other side of the courtyard, Coco, who was holding a 100-kilogram dumbbell but couldn't lift it, stared blankly at her.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the courtyard...

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"W-what's wrong? What happened, Captain Silver Lotus?"

Li Yi quickly deactivated her transformation, picked up her bicycle, and chuckled dryly. "I heard some noise in your yard and thought the Witch Society had broken in... The Disaster Management Bureau detected the Witch Society's movements today. It's not that I'm being paranoid."

As the explanation was being given, Coco realized what was happening and immediately found it somewhat amusing.

Li Yi asked again, "But what are you doing, making such a commotion..."

Coco's smile vanished instantly, and she immediately released the dumbbells. "No, I was just exercising."

She's been obsessed with these dumbbells since last night.

Coco finally understood what Jiang Si meant by "not having clear thoughts" that she often talked about.

Although she could indeed pick it up after transforming, the fact that she couldn't pick it up after de-transforming bothered her.

So after finishing my homework and eating today, I had nothing to do, so I started trying it out again in the yard.

I've already become a magical girl, I'm not going to lose to Jiang Si...

But the more you try, the more you realize that the human body has its limits, and just how terrifying Jiang Si really is.

They're not even human.

Her physical strength is approaching that of a magical girl in her transformed state, which is unbelievable.

"What's so great about a dumbbell?" Li Yi muttered, pretending to be nonchalant as she grabbed the dumbbell to cover her embarrassment. "For magical girls, even without transforming, their strength increases, so this weight shouldn't be a problem..."

It didn't budge when I tried to lift it.

On the contrary, Li Yi almost choked.

The girl's expression turned serious. She gripped the dumbbells with both hands and strained again.

There was still no movement.

Li Yi looked up at Ke Ke, who looked back at her innocently, and for a moment they were quiet.

"No, are these dumbbells for people?"

"Jiang Si's daily exercise..."

Li Yi was speechless, recalling the pitiful cripple, "Then it doesn't seem so strange."

Spurred by her competitive spirit, Li Yi secretly borrowed some magic from the seed and finally managed to pull the dumbbell up with all her might. "Although, although it's a bit heavy, it's not like it's impossible for a magical girl..."

Coco, who was standing next to her, could naturally guess that she had used magic, but she didn't expose her. She just poked Li Yi's forehead and said, "Weightlifting can easily stunt your growth, Captain."

Li Yi immediately threw away the dumbbell, which landed on the ground with a loud, dull thud.

Clapping her hands, Li Yi stretched her arms and casually changed the subject: "It's so late, why don't you close the door?"

"Jiang Si hasn't come back yet."

Li Yi was immediately startled, her expression becoming tense: "Oh no, it's so late, what if we've been captured by the Witch Society?"

"No way?"

Coco was also a little uncertain, "He usually comes home very late."

"What are you doing out so late instead of going home?"

"To exercise, or to run errands to earn some pocket money." Coco took out her phone and glanced at the time. "It's only eight o'clock now. He usually comes back before ten o'clock. Let's wait until ten o'clock and see if he comes back."

"No, the Witch Society has already started its operation today. He even fought with people controlled by the Witch Society at noon! We can't just sit here and wait until ten o'clock."

Li Yi immediately stood up. "We have to go find him!"

"Jiang Si, did you fight with someone controlled by the witch at noon?" Coco asked as she closed and locked the door after following the captain out. "What do you mean? Can the witch control ordinary people to fight him?"

"Yes, the Witches can use the Seed of Lamentation to strengthen ordinary people, which is extremely dangerous!"

Coco said "Oh," and subconsciously asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No." Li Yi's expression was somewhat subtle. "Your brother almost beat someone to death."

"what?"

Even though she knew Jiang Si was incredibly strong, Jiang Keke was still somewhat surprised that she could defeat someone who could be strengthened by a witch.

She always felt that after becoming a magical girl, this world would be beyond Jiang Si's reach. No matter how much she trained or how strong her body became, she could never be a match for extraordinary beings like magical girls and witches.

She was also thinking that this defeat would probably make Jiang Si depressed for a while, since all the time she spent training was not as good as someone else getting a seed.

As a result, Li Yi told her that Jiang Si almost killed the other side.

So exercise really does work!

"But those are just ordinary people that the Witch Society can casually enhance. If they seriously target your brother, it will be very dangerous. We have to hurry! Those people from the Witch Society never hesitate to kill!"

Following closely behind Li Yi, upon hearing those words, she looked at her miracle seed, bit her lip, and her thoughts were somewhat confused.

Coco dislikes Jiang Si.

From the time of my parents' funeral until the past three years, this aversion has never disappeared in the slightest.

She couldn't forgive Jiang Si, and Jiang Si never cared about her forgiveness, or even cared about her at all.

After all these years as siblings and family, they've lived like strangers, and she doesn't feel there's anything that needs to change.

but.

Jiang Si might die at the hands of the Witch Society.

The only family member will die, and it will be because of him.

If she hadn't become a magical girl, Jiang Si wouldn't have been targeted by the Witch Association, nor would her life have been in danger.

She used to wish Jiang Si were dead.

But when Jiang Si really might die, a sense of fear welled up in her heart again.

At the very least, I can't die because of myself.

Coco thought to herself.

My parents would be sad if they found out.

Holding the seed, she ran, and an even stronger red magic began to envelop her entire body.

……

Jiang Si had walked the road from Qingyun Sect to home countless times; he knew the way even with his eyes closed.

But today, when he reached a dead end twice in a row, he knew something was wrong.

He couldn't possibly make the same mistake twice.

A maze of ghosts.

In his previous life, he had also studied many strange events. After all, Jiang Si knew a lot of cultivation stories, which started with encountering ghosts and monsters.

The "ghost wall" is the most famous one. Generally speaking, encountering a ghost wall means you're on a very lucky day, and many legendary stories begin with a ghost wall.

Countless people start by encountering a maze of obstacles, but end up fighting against the Heavenly Emperor.

Although he no longer needs to seek these strange phenomena to pursue the Great Dao, he still feels somewhat gratified to encounter them now.

At the very least, it proves that the initial route wasn't a waste of time; it was just that the result was a failure.

I reached out and touched the wall; in terms of texture, it was no different from an ordinary wall.

Concrete walls are much stronger than brick walls.

Using it as a wall for creating a maze is indeed the most suitable option. Of course, if it were Jiang Silai, he would probably choose a material like steel plates.

He held his breath, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled in his stomach, exhaled, and threw a powerful punch!

The terrifying force carved a hole through the concrete wall!

They didn't stop, but continued to pound on the concrete wall, smashing a gap in the "ghost wall" that people could pass through!
