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

She responded in this way, and Jiang Si finally stopped walking.

Peony, who was holding onto Susan, stopped and let go of Susan's hand. Peony held the Miracle Seed and found that it had actually consumed a lot of magic power.

That's enough to wipe out a D-rank disaster beast.

Looking up again at Jiang Si in the distance, who was not out of breath and even doing some exercises to stretch his body, Mudan couldn't help but feel a little shocked, even though she knew he had extraordinary physical fitness.

What kind of monster is that...?

Seeing Jiang Si standing still on the street, seemingly not going to make any further moves anytime soon, Peony breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's even more tiring than fighting the monsters.

After calming down a bit, she turned to look at Susan, whose face was also flushed and whose forehead was sweating, and handed her a wet wipe. "So, if you have something on your mind, why can't you tell me?"

Susan gazed at Jiang Si, who stood ramrod straight and motionless in the distance, like a statue, and turned her head away as she listened to Peony's words.

What should I say? Should I say I hope you can take me with you to fight? Should I say I hope you can stay and not go to the front lines? Should I say I can please stop transforming into a magical girl?

If you can't say something, in the end you'll only have nothing to say.

Some things are just not things that can be said, and her relationship with Mudan was no longer as good as it used to be.

Susan cannot accept that she cannot transform.

In order to regain the power to transform into a magical girl, she went out alone at night to find the monsters of disaster, and fought them with the seeds that no longer possessed miracles.

Faced with the despair brought by the monstrous beast, we call for a miracle with the strongest hope.

However, this time, without the power of a magical girl, miracles no longer responded to her.

The monstrous beast ravaged her body, and pain seeped from the depths of her soul, devouring her flesh and blood throughout her entire being.

She thought she was going to die, and she fully accepted her death.

The magical girl named Susan died when she lost her ability to transform.

Until, the purple-clad girl appeared.

A terrifying force engulfed the calamity beast and her, like a surging tsunami.

She was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment, struggling desperately.

Then, the purple magical girl reached out and pulled her out.

Why not transform?

Susan still remembers the scene vividly: the bright, white moonlight shone through the hazy glow of the burning purple flames, and the girl, bathed in it, stood before her, slumped on the ground, her eyes, colder and more beautiful than the moonlight, fixed on her, commanding her:

"Transformation."

Then, a miracle happened.

No, the miracle had already occurred long ago; it had already blessed her when Shion appeared before her.

And when she did as Shion said.

The withered seed of miracle was ignited.

However, he failed to transform at that time and was later taken back to Qingyun Sect by Ziyuan and given to Bingtang.

Under the guidance of Bing Tang, he gradually rediscovered his miracle seed.

It took another two days to successfully transform again.

She cried terribly that day; it was the worst she had ever cried in her life.

Those who haven't experienced it won't understand what it feels like to lose something extremely important, something even more important than life itself, and then regain it.

You can only understand those things by experiencing them yourself; no one can truly empathize with you.

Ziyuan and Lord Bingtang gave her a second life.

Especially Lady Shion.

For Susan, when the sect leader gave her a second life, she had already decided to live for the Qingyun Sect.

I keep working hard to complete my tasks and carry out my missions so that I can see Ziyuan and the sect leader again and express my feelings and gratitude.

As for the Disaster Management Bureau, she had long since become indifferent to it.

"Just do your job well. We don't get many chances to work together on missions, so don't make any mistakes."

Such a cold rejection caused Peony's eyes to dim, and she lowered her head in disappointment.

Ignoring her old friend's feelings, Susan frowned as she looked at Jiang Si, who was sitting carelessly on the curb in the distance.

The streets were getting busier. Although it was Monday, this street, located in the city's busiest area, was never short of people. The surrounding noise also helped to conceal their figures.

If it weren't for the sake of the Qingyun Sect, she wouldn't care whether this unofficial staff member was alive or dead; he deserved to be arrested by the Disaster Management Bureau.

Putting aside his bizarre physical strength, which made him neither human nor ghost, the fact that he took half of her salary while working for the Qingyun Sect, showing no spirit of dedication and treating his work at the Qingyun Sect as just a way to earn extra money, was something Susan found completely unbearable.

How could Lord Ziyuan and Lord Bingtang agree to let such a person join the Qingyun Sect? He went through countless hardships to pass the tests and was only an outer disciple, not even able to get close to the core of the Qingyun Sect.

I want to go shopping with Lady Shion...

In a moment of melancholy, the sound on the once bustling and noisy street suddenly dropped by a decibel.

Because it was so obvious, not only Susan but also Peony noticed something was wrong, so Jiang Si, who was sitting on the curb, also got up.

He was met head-on by someone dressed casually, whose expression remained cold, attracting many glances and turning heads, but only when he saw Jiang Si did he reveal a faint smile...

Aster.

Susan's eyes widened suddenly, and then she immediately turned to look at Peony.

Peony stared blankly, mouth agape, looking utterly incredulous.

Everyone knew Jiang Si might have something to do with the Qingyun Sect, but who would have thought he would actually get involved with the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect!

"This, this..." Peony stammered in surprise, "Is this Shiyuan? It's Shiyuan, right? Although she seems a bit taller, her appearance is similar to the photos in the bureau. Why is she here?"

Of course it's Lady Shion! That perfect face, those beautiful eyes—aside from being a bit taller and having a gentler temperament, there's almost no difference. How could it not be Lady Shion!

"Hey, hey, why are they arm in arm with Jiang Si? What's their relationship like? Are they a couple?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Lady Ziyuan possibly look favorably upon someone like that! He has no sense of belonging to the Qingyun Sect whatsoever, nor does he want to contribute anything; he only thinks about money. How could he possibly be qualified to stand next to Lady Ziyuan?

"Should we report this immediately? This situation seems beyond our control. If we continue to follow it and Ziyuan discovers it, it could be dangerous..."

A bewildered Peony watched the two figures preparing to leave in the distance and asked them a question, only to find her friend completely lost in thought. She then grumbled impatiently, "That wretched Shion..."

"That wretched Jiang Si!"

Peony paused, turned her head to look at her friend, and for a moment seemed to see resentment and anger in her eyes.

But soon, Susan's expression returned to its icy state, and her tone became indifferent:

"They actually dared to collude with the Qingyun Sect."

How dare they bewitch the sect leader!

"It's absolutely outrageous."

That's so enviable.

"We will absolutely not let him get away with this."

absolute!

After closing her eyes and remaining silent for a while, seemingly pondering for a long time, Susan finally made her decision only when Ziyuan and Jiang Si were almost out of sight:

"Don't report it yet. Follow the target, gather more evidence, and avoid alerting the enemy."

Peony nodded, feeling a sense of admiration.

As expected of Susan, she remained as calm as ever, and even after witnessing such a shocking scene, she was able to make a quick and correct judgment.

I need to step up my game too.

Chapter 36: A Master of Dating (5000 words)

"So what's the first step?"

"Let's go shopping and buy some delicious food!"

"A cold drink shop?"

"Buy gifts! Buy gifts!"

"The sect leader doesn't have that much money on him, does he?"

Inside the Illusion Moon Cave of the Qingyun Sect, several girls huddled together, chattering away in front of Dong Jun's ice mirror.

There was a schoolbag next to her, so it looked like she had just come over from school.

Dongjun, who was resting her chin on one hand, looked uninterested and did not participate in the discussion.

After Yu Mo, holding the little rabbit, mentioned wanting to go to the amusement park for a few moments, she moved closer to Dong Jun and asked, "Lord Dong Jun, are you still angry?"

"I'm not angry."

You're lying. I've been feeling down since this morning.

Yu Mo had seen how happy Dong Jun was after winning yesterday's match.

Although she lost and felt a little regretful, Yu Mo quickly became genuinely happy for Dong Jun.

As a result, early in the morning, the sect leader said that he would personally control the puppet and multitask.

Even if she didn't show it, Yu Mo knew that Dong-kun must be very disappointed.

After all, I had been looking forward to it for so long yesterday, but this was the result...

For the first time, she put down the little rabbit and carefully hugged Dongjun. "Lord Dongjun, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was fighting with you yesterday..."

If she hadn't fought for it, Dongjun wouldn't have been so happy and excited.

Sometimes, something becomes more valued and appreciated simply because people are vying for it.

As for something like the right to go on a date, if Yu Mo hadn't insisted on fighting for it, Dong Jun would have been at most a little disappointed.

But the feeling of disappointment is definitely different when you work hard, win the qualification, and then find that it was all for nothing.

Dongjun, who was still sulking, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Yumo, who was hanging her head, had even put down her rabbit doll, and timidly hugged her to apologize.
