What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

"Oh, you mean..."

"Yes, let's get some outside help."

“That makes sense.” Cangxing nodded. “Instead of the two of us traveling all the way there, we should ask Yingguang for help. With her there, we can get there in no time. Wait a minute, I’ll contact her now.”

After saying that, she eagerly took out her phone and began to explain the situation to the team leader.

And so, a targeted operation quietly took shape.

Meanwhile, on a desolate mountain thousands of miles away, Ju Yang, who was fast asleep in a tree, suddenly opened his eyes and shivered for no reason.

He looked around the woods, frowning, and said, "This is strange. Why do I suddenly have this feeling that someone is watching me?"

"I must be overthinking things." He stood up. "Never mind, now that I've awakened, it's time to get moving. Let's find a nearby city and plant the seeds of harvest, first accumulating enough life energy to break through to the sixth star..."

"Give me thirty days to cultivate diligently, and I dare to change the world!"

The giant sun was incredibly arrogant, laughing loudly as it looked up at the sky. With one step, it transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the nearest city.

Chapter 141 Arrival in Huning to Plan the Encirclement and Suppression

Huning County, nestled beside Bibo Lake, boasts a comfortable and pleasant climate, exceptionally beautiful scenery, and abundant aquatic products, making it a popular tourist destination renowned throughout northern China. During spring and autumn, it attracts a constant stream of visitors.

Although it is just a small county, it has relied on tourism to drive upstream and downstream industries, and its annual GDP has steadily exceeded one billion yuan. Compared with most counties of the same level, it is definitely a remarkable achievement.

More than two months have passed since the witch who ravaged the world for decades completely disappeared. On the surface, apart from the divine messenger who recently emerged and caused some trouble before being wiped out, there have been no other major disasters or crises.

As life gradually stabilizes, the tourism gene ingrained in the Chinese people has been fully activated.

Even though autumn has not officially arrived yet, a large number of tourists have already flocked to Huning County.

Everyone wants to check in before the hotel prices rise during the peak season, leisurely stroll around the scenery of Bibo Lake and Shenxiu Mountain, and be the first to taste local specialties such as hairy crabs, mandarin fish, and Bailushuang tea, which combines the fragrance of flowers and herbs.

These unique local delicacies are the hallmark of Huning County and the core reason why it attracts a large number of tourists year-round.

In the distance, a tour bus slowly drove into the parking area, and three figures got off the bus one after another from the crowded crowd.

The handsome young man was paired with two girls with completely different temperaments. The three of them wore sunglasses, dressed in a clean and neat manner, and acted with ease. If you ignore their good looks, they look no different from ordinary tourists.

These three were naturally Zhong Hui, Cang Xing, and Ying Huo.

In order to eliminate the giant sun god messenger who had run from the barren mountains to Huning County, the three traveled thousands of miles from Fangyuan City, using the "Harmony with Light and Dust" technique along the way. When they were about to reach Huning County, the three switched to a tourist bus and successfully entered the city in about an hour.

It's worth mentioning that when Mu Yue learned that the three of them were coming here on a mission, she insisted on going with them and refused to stay in Fangyuan City.

In the end, it was Yao Ri who chuckled and gently pulled her ear, speaking softly to dissuade her, before she finally calmed down.

With red eyes, Mu Yue could only wave her hand and watch helplessly as the three of them disappeared into the light, filled with resentment but unable to do anything about it.

Cangxing stretched and looked at the endless stream of passengers getting off the tour buses, sighing, "Without the witch's calamity, everyone's enthusiasm for travel has really soared."

"Huning... the crabs are delicious." Yingguang was uncomfortable with the crowd and whispered to Cangxing.

"It really is delicious. I remember the last time I ate here was three years ago when I came here with that bastard Muyue. But now, that guy can only eat at the captain's house... hehe." Cangxing covered his eyes, shook his head, and kept chuckling as if he was thinking of something.

After a dozen seconds, she seemed to realize she had been somewhat out of line, quickly regained her composure, and looked at Zhong Hui seriously: "Is the location correct? Juyang is in the city right now?"

"Hmm, we're very close. Shall we go now?" Zhong Hui's golden pupils gazed into the distance, a hint of impatience hidden in his eyes.

"Not urgent."

Cang Xing took out his phone. "Anyway, the seeds planted by Ju Yang won't cause any major harm so quickly. I'll contact Bai Lu first and ask her to evacuate the crowd in advance to avoid the battle affecting innocent people and causing unnecessary casualties."

The magical girl leader in Huning County is named Bailu, which happens to be the same name as the Bailu Frost Tea that is famous in the area. I wonder if it's just a coincidence.

After quickly explaining the message, Cang Xing put away his phone: "Alright, we've finished contacting each other. Let's find a place nearby to rest for a bit, and then we'll wait for Bai Lu to arrive so we can discuss our next move."

She glanced around casually and was immediately drawn to a beautifully decorated milk tea shop under a tall sycamore tree. She walked over, with Zhong Hui and Ying Huang following closely behind.

The three had barely sat down at the outdoor table, not even having caught their breath, when a waiter quickly approached, smiling, and handed them a menu: "Hello, gentlemen, what would you like to drink?"

"lemonade."

The refreshing and sweet taste of lemonade is somewhat similar to that of Sprite, so Zhong Hui also quite likes to drink it.

“Yunling Jasmine,” Cangxing said.

"Crispy Milk Puffs," Fluorescent said softly.

"Ok."

The waiter quickly noted down the order and then asked, "Is there anything else you need? Our desserts and cakes are very popular and would be perfect for taking photos under the sycamore trees."

Cangxing casually ordered a few popular desserts, and the waiter left with a standard smile.

After everyone had gone, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This is a common problem in all popular tourist destinations: excessive enthusiasm. They'll stop at nothing to make money."

"This location is good, but the rent is expensive..." Fluorescent whispered, defending the shop owner.

Cangxing was both annoyed and amused, and reached out to rub her head: "Whose side are you on anyway?"

A faint blush rose to her fluorescent cheeks. She lowered her head and remained silent.

A gentle breeze rustled the pale yellow leaves of the sycamore trees, and every now and then a few palm-leaf leaves would fall, landing precisely on the heads and shoulders of the guests.

The milk tea shop was packed with tourists. Many stylish young people, holding milk tea, cakes and other decorations, posed in various ways under the sycamore trees, their clothes looking even more gentle and charming in the warm sunlight.

Travel companions who came with us helped take photos to capture the beautiful scenery and freeze this moment forever.

Cangxing also took more than a dozen photos with Zhong Hui and Yingguang, which was the main reason why she specifically chose this store to stay.

After taking the photos, the drinks and desserts we ordered were served. The three of us sat quietly and enjoyed them, basking in the gentle, warm sunshine.

After taking a few sips of lemonade, Zhong Hui suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the crowd not far away.

"What's wrong?" Cangxing asked, looking up in confusion as she ate her mousse cake.

"coming!"

As soon as Zhong Hui finished speaking, a soft laugh followed: "Long time no see, Cang Xing!"

"That sound..."

Cangxing instantly realized what was happening, wiped the cream from her lips, stood up, looked in the direction of the voice, and replied with a smile, "Long time no see, Bailu!"

A striking young girl emerged from the crowd, her hair styled in a full bun. Her blue and white cheongsam accentuated her slender and graceful figure. Her youthful charm was tinged with a unique gentleness. She walked briskly toward them, her waist swaying gracefully like willow branches brushing against spring water, her innocence revealing a hint of unknowing coquettishness.

The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were overjoyed, like old friends reunited. They stepped forward and hugged tightly, reluctant to part.

"I didn't expect these two to be so close, like Qianjia, they're good friends too?" Zhong Hui looked at the two of them with some surprise and whispered to Yingguang beside him.

Yingguang nodded slightly, then shook her head gently: "We're somewhat familiar, but definitely not as familiar as Qianjia... Three years ago, Cangxing and Muyue came here to visit, and Bailu hosted them for a while. I can only say... girls' feelings are rather subtle."

Zhong Hui said "Oh," as if he had learned something new.

The two who had been embracing separated. Cang Xing affectionately pulled Bai Lu along and introduced the other two: "These two are my friends and members of the Floating Light Squad. They are Zhong Hui and Ying Huo. They will help us deal with the Giant Sun Envoy."

The two nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Bai Lu smiled and waved in response, while glancing at Zhong Hui. She then pulled Cang Xing aside and asked in a low voice, "That guy named Zhong Hui looks so androgynous. Is he your new boyfriend?"

"I'm no longer a lesbian, and he's a boy!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes widened suddenly. Each of these two pieces of news had a tremendous impact on her. She was stunned for a long time before she could barely come back to her senses and asked, "I know that Mu Yue hurt you, but can sexual orientation be changed? And how can a man become a magical girl?"

"I wasn't exactly a pure lesbian to begin with. When I first joined the group, I was clueless and naive, and I was seduced by Muyue's sweet talk and turned gay. Later, I found out she was cheating on me. I was sad for a while, but then I figured it out. Since both men and women cheat, it's better not to love anyone at all, so I'm now considered asexual?"

"As for Zhong Hui..." Cang Xing embellished the story, repeating Zhong Hui's previous statement.

Bai Lu stared wide-eyed, just like Qian Jia before her, accepting this seemingly outrageous statement in a state of extreme shock.

Yes, that's right. Who says a man can't become a magical girl?

To follow the natural order is to be mortal; to defy it is to be immortal.

The world is full of surprises.

One should not be blinded by a single leaf or have a narrow perspective.

Thinking this, she turned around and warmly extended her hand to Zhong Hui: "Hello! Welcome to join the ranks of those who protect the world!"

Zhong Hui glanced subtly at Cang Xing, who looked smug, before reaching out to Bai Lu in response.

Releasing her hand, Bai Lu clicked her tongue in amazement: "To be honest, your features are just too outstanding. And with Cang Xing and Ying Huo together, I really thought you were a girl."

Before Zhong Hui could speak, Cang Xing chimed in, "You haven't seen him transform. He looks even better than he does now. Remember the Moe King competition not long ago? He and Mu Yue teamed up and won second place."

"Second place?!" Bai Lu exclaimed in surprise. "I remember there are quite a few magical girls participating in each Moe King Contest, and there are hundreds of millions of viewers voting. How amazing would it be to get second place?"

Cangxing blushed slightly and whispered in her ear, "It's enough to make someone fall in love at first sight."

In fact, she was initially attracted to Zhong Hui's appearance after his transformation, which is why she brought him back to Fangyuan City, intending to take the initiative and trick him into joining the Floating Light Squad.

This is what led to everything that followed.

Bai Lu's curiosity was completely piqued.

Seeing that the conversation was drifting off course, Zhong Hui coughed lightly to remind him, "Don't forget, we're here to talk about serious business."

After being reminded, the two realized what had happened and sat back down in their seats, looking slightly embarrassed.

Zhong Hui shook his head helplessly, inwardly marveling at the powerful charisma of the Heavenly Emperor.

The four of them sat around the table, their playful banter ceasing, and their expressions all turned serious.

As the local person in charge, Bai Lu spoke first: "Thank you three for not only informing us of the news, but also for coming here specifically to help deal with the Giant Sun Envoy."

"We all belong to Jiangbei, so we should help each other out," Cangxing replied politely.

"I won't say more. After we wipe out Juyang, you must stay in Huning County for a few more days so that I can show you some hospitality."

Bai Lu suddenly remembered a crucial question, "Right, I haven't asked before, what is the strength of that giant sun?"

"Five stars," the fluorescent voice said.

"puff"

Bai Lu spat out the dessert in her mouth, hurriedly wiped the crumbs from her lips, looked at the three of them, and pointed to herself: "The four of us are only three-star level. We can manage to fight four-star together, but how can we fight five-star? No, I have to ask headquarters for outside help."

"No need, Zhong Hui will be fine," Cang Xing stopped him.

"Just because he's a boy?" Bai Lu tilted her head, her round eyes filled with doubt.

"Zhong Hui is very powerful. You've heard about the siege operation targeting Jiangxing Mountain, right?"

"Regarding what happened yesterday, I heard they killed and captured quite a few divine messengers, but what does that have to do with Zhong Hui?"
