"What's wrong? Are you tired already? So, little girl, you can't win a battle just by brute force." Jiu Xiao remained calm and composed, even having the leisure to tease Sakura Kyoko.

Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, her anger and resentment intertwined.

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't keep calling me 'little girl'! Aren't you just a self-righteous brat yourself?!" Sakura Kyoko growled, forcibly suppressing her unease. She suddenly took a few steps back, widening the distance between herself and Jiuxiao, holding her spear horizontally in front of her, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, and the magic within her body began to surge wildly. Her long hair was blown by the airflow and danced wildly in the air, as if it were burning with flames.

"Since you enjoy talking so much, then try taking this move!" As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura Kyoko's spear disintegrated in her hand, turning into a chain spear.

Countless chains coiled in the air like venomous snakes, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound. In the blink of an eye, they roared towards the heavens, each chain carrying a sharp killing intent, as if determined to strangle him completely.

With a deafening roar, the chain spears rained down like a storm, the dust they kicked up instantly obscuring visibility. A ruthless glint flashed in Sakura Kyoko's eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. She believed this attack would leave Jiuxiao with nowhere to escape.

However, the principle of "no harm even with smoke" comes into play at this moment.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Sakura Kyoko's smile froze on her face. She keenly sensed that Jiuxiao's aura hadn't disappeared; on the contrary, it was becoming increasingly clear amidst the smoke and dust. Her heart suddenly raced, and her hand gripping the chain gun trembled involuntarily.

"How could this be..." she murmured, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Jiuxiao's figure slowly appeared. He still stood in the same spot, his robes fluttering, his expression calm, as if the attack that had been powerful enough to tear the earth apart had never happened. There wasn't a single wound on his body, not even a tear in the hem of his clothes.

"Not bad, only slightly inferior to Mami-senpai. It's a pity... you're still too green to deal with me." Jiuxiao gripped the gun barrel with one hand and made a "fingertip universe" gesture with the other.

Sakura Kyoko's pupils suddenly contracted, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. She stared intently at Jiuxiao, her eyes filled with shock and resentment. She couldn't understand, nor could she accept, that her all-out attack had been so easily neutralized.

Before she could even react, Jiu Xiao's figure approached like a ghost, his speed so fast it was almost impossible to catch. Sakura Kyoko only saw a blur before Jiu Xiao was already inches away, his deep eyes filled with a hint of mockery and coldness, as if he were laughing at her powerlessness.

"Checkmate!" Without any visible movement from Jiu Xiao, a pistol appeared out of thin air in his hand, the muzzle pointed directly at Sakura Kyoko's forehead.

The cold, metallic touch sent a shiver down Sakura Kyoko's spine. Cold sweat streamed down her face, and even breathing became difficult. But she still stubbornly retorted, "Ha! You think you can scare me with a toy? Go ahead and try..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiu Xiao had already pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, and Sakura Kyoko instinctively closed her eyes, her body tense, as if awaiting death. However, the expected pain did not come. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that Jiuxiao's gun was pointed directly at her head, the bullet grazing her hair and sending a blast of hot air through her.

"Take a look and see if it's a toy?" Jiu Xiao chuckled, blowing the gunpowder smoke from his mouth in a very flamboyant manner, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

Sakura Kyoko stood frozen in place, her heart pounding, the buzzing in her ears gradually fading away.

Seeing Jiu Xiao's underestimation of her opponent, Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, the shock in her eyes gradually replaced by a defiant flame. She moved her right hand slightly, slowly reaching for the fallen weapon, but Jiu Xiao seemed to have already seen through her intention.

"Don't waste your energy." Jiuxiao's voice pierced the eardrums like an ice blade, carrying an unquestionable authority.

As soon as Sakura Kyoko touched the handle of the chain gun, she felt an invisible force clamp her down, rendering her unable to move. She looked up at Jiuxiao and found that his gaze was still playful, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying her struggle.

“Kyoko, times have changed. Do you know what it means to be ‘faster within seven steps, and more accurate and faster beyond seven steps’? Or do you want to witness the power of modern technology?” Jiuxiao slowly pointed the gun at Sakura Kyoko, as if he could end this unequal duel at any moment.

No matter how strong a magical girl is, she is still a mortal being (except for characters like Madoka Kaname). He didn't believe that Sakura Kyoko could withstand bullets.

“You!…” Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, her face showing resentment, but even more so, a sense of powerlessness. She had never imagined that she would be so pathetic in this duel, utterly powerless to fight back. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and attempting to find a way out.

However, Jiuxiao didn't seem to have any intention of giving her a chance to breathe. He leaned down slightly, close to her ear, and whispered, "What? You're not convinced? Apricot, I advise you to obediently deactivate your transformation, otherwise... the consequences might be severe."

Sakura Kyoko was unwilling, but she also knew that she was completely suppressed by Jiuxiao at this moment, and continuing to resist would only make the situation worse. Her fingers trembled slightly, and anger and resentment intertwined in her heart, but she had to admit that the person in front of her was indeed much stronger than she had imagined.

Moreover, this guy who calls himself Jiuxiao just mentioned Mami Tomoe, so perhaps the situation isn't as simple as she imagines. Sakura Kyoko's heart skipped a beat, her thoughts racing. Jiuxiao's appearance might not be accidental; his mention of Mami Tomoe suggests he's not entirely ignorant of the magical girl world, and might even possess more information.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?" Sakura Kyoko suppressed her unease and stared intently at Jiuxiao.

Even so, she obediently deactivated her transformation, her magical girl attire gradually dissipating, returning her to her original appearance. Her clenched fists slowly relaxed; though still unwilling, she understood that the current situation no longer allowed her to act recklessly.

Seeing her deactivate her transformation, Jiu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he couldn't really fire the gun, could he?

"That's more like it, Anzu. I admire your decisiveness." Jiuxiao put away his weapon, stood up straight, and patted her shoulder, as if it had just been a joke.

Sakura Kyoko turned her head away, feeling a bit uncomfortable with her overly familiar way of addressing her, but she had no choice but to comply.

She, Sakura Kyoko, is a woman who can be both resilient and flexible!

"What exactly do you want?" Sakura Kyoko asked coldly, her gaze still fixed warily on Jiuxiao, trying to glean some clue from his expression. Although she had deactivated her transformation, she remained vigilant, ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

“What I want to do is not important. Do you have a choice? Didn’t you just say that ‘the weak should be dominated by the strong’? What, can’t accept defeat? If you’re bad, then practice more. If you can’t accept defeat, then don’t play. Speaking of which, you were the one who made the first move, weren’t you? A prisoner should have the awareness of a prisoner, don’t you think, Apricot Jam?” Jiu Xiao looked down at her, his eyes full of mockery.

A barrage of questions left Sakura Kyoko speechless for a moment, her face flushed, her fists clenched again, only to loosen weakly. She bit her lower lip, the resentment and humiliation in her heart growing stronger, but reason told her to endure.

Seeing the other party remain silent, Jiu Xiao's eyes lit up, a hint of smugness flashing in them. And let me tell you, Sakura Kyoko's outfit after de-transforming was... those super short shorts, those long, white legs, tsk tsk tsk.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their legs are so beautiful they're amazing!

Moreover, from the perspective of the heavens, a faint glimpse of pure white can be seen...

Noticing Jiu Xiao's gaze, Sakura Kyoko immediately became alert. Following his gaze, she looked down and instantly understood what he was looking at. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she took a step back, her hands instinctively covering herself, glaring angrily: "You...you pervert! Where are you looking?!"

Jiu Xiao was amused by her reaction, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He deliberately feigned a pained expression and said, "Oh dear, young girls these days are really something else. Wearing black panties at such a young age, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Ha! What black? I'm clearly wearing white!" Sakura Kyoko blurted out, then realized her slip of the tongue, her face turning even redder, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She glared at Jiuxiao through gritted teeth, her eyes practically spitting fire: "You...you shameless scoundrel! Using such despicable methods!"

Seeing this, Jiuxiao laughed even more unrestrainedly, shrugged, and said innocently, "Oh dear, I didn't say anything, you admitted it yourself. But, so it's white, I didn't realize you were so...innocent?"

Sakura Kyoko trembled with rage, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her knuckles turning white from the force. She glared hatefully at Jiuxiao, yet she couldn't refute him. After all, it was she who had let slip, giving him the opportunity.

Miki Sayaka, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore. As a woman herself, she couldn't help but step forward and stand in front of Sakura Kyoko. She frowned and said to Jiuxiao, "Hey, Jiuxiao, you're going too far! Kyoko has already lost. You're still teasing her like this. Isn't that a bit bullying?"

Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes. Well, he got to play the villain.

"Sayaka, you really don't learn your lesson easily. You forget the pain as soon as the wound heals." Jiuxiao shrugged, his tone teasing. "She attacked you without any mercy just now, and now you're speaking up for her? You're so kind it's touching."

Miki Sayaka was speechless for a moment, choked by Jiuxiao's words. Of course, she remembered Sakura Kyoko's merciless attack on her just now, but seeing Kyoko being teased by Jiuxiao like this, she still felt a little sorry for her.

Chapter 170⑨Apricot’s first experience

"Stop it! Don't I know you? Hurry up and wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth, your eyes are practically glued to it..." Miki Sayaka glared at Jiu Xiao and muttered sourly, clearly dissatisfied with Jiu Xiao's lecherous look just now.

Although she spoke of Sakura Kyoko's ruthlessness, she knew in her heart that Jiuxiao was just using the situation as an excuse to tease Kyoko and satisfy his own perverse tastes.

Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence as she shrugged and said, "Oh dear, Sayaka, that's not quite right. I wasn't staring the whole time! I only glanced at it a few times, cough cough..."

I just think that since Apricot Jam lost, she should accept reality and stop acting so resentful. Besides, I'm just helping her face the situation. Luckily, it was me this time; if it were someone else, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"So I should thank you?" Sakura Kyoko sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "You think this will make me submit? Dream on! I, Sakura Kyoko, would rather die here today, be eaten by the witch, than be manipulated by you!"

Sakura Kyoko's attitude was very firm, and her tone was also very strong; it's just unknown whether she was truly as resolute as she appeared...

Upon hearing this, Jiuxiao's smile deepened, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "Oh? Is that so? Give me your Soul Gem, and I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Upon hearing Jiuxiao's words, Sakura Kyoko's face turned deathly pale, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes. She instinctively took a step back, tightly clutching the Soul Gem to her chest, as if it were her last line of defense. The Soul Gem was the source of a magical girl's power; if it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You...you dare!" Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly, but she still refused to back down. "You think I'd hand over the Soul Gem to you so easily? Dream on!"

Jiuxiao chuckled dismissively, hands in his pockets, looking completely at ease: "Hey, Apricot Jam, don't be so sure of yourself. It's not up to you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura Kyoko felt an invisible pressure wash over her. Her heart pounded, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the Soul Gem on her chest, as if that could withstand Jiu Xiao's threat. However, Jiu Xiao simply stood there, a half-smile playing on his lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"What...what exactly do you want?" Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, her voice still firm, but with a hint of wavering in her tone. She knew her current situation was extremely unfavorable, but as proud as she was, she was unwilling to show weakness in front of Jiuxiao.

"Give it to me!" Jiu Xiao suddenly reached out, his movements so fast they were almost invisible. Sakura Kyoko only felt a blur before her eyes, and then her chest felt empty. The Soul Gem was firmly in Jiu Xiao's hand.

"You!" Sakura Kyoko's eyes widened, her face instantly turning ashen, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She instinctively wanted to rush forward and snatch back the gem, but Jiuxiao simply raised his hand, and an invisible force forcefully suppressed her movements.

"Don't rush, Kyoko-chan." Jiuxiao played with the Soul Gem in his hand, his smile growing wider, a sly glint in his eyes. "Look, your Soul Gem has become cloudy. Its magic power must be almost exhausted, right? If this continues, something bad might happen." Jiuxiao's tone was casual, but it made Sakura Kyoko's heart tighten.

"So what if it is? What's it to you?" Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth. Seeing that her struggle was futile, she simply gave up resisting, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

"What does it have to do with me? Of course it does! I'm known as the 'Friend of Magical Girls,' how can I just stand by and watch you suffer?" Jiu Xiao said, while pouring magic into the Soul Gem in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the originally murky Soul Gem gradually became clear and bright, even more dazzling than before.

Sakura Kyoko's pupils dilated in shock, a feeling she had never experienced before welling up inside her. She could feel something continuously flowing into her body, like a warm torrent washing over every inch of her skin.

People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. Unlike when replenishing the mana of Miki Sayaka and the others, Sakura Kyoko is the kind of person who is very sensitive, just like Sania.

Although Sakura Kyoko tried her best to hide her lapse in composure, she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her body trembling slightly, and an unnatural blush rising on her cheeks. She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the indescribable feeling of comfort, but the more she struggled, the stronger the feeling became, as if it was about to completely devour her reason.

"Eh... Ugh... No... Stop... What... Did you... Do... To Me!" Sakura Kyoko covered her mouth, trying her best not to make any more shameful sounds, but her body arched slightly uncontrollably, as if welcoming the endless torrent of magic.

"Huh? Do you want me to stop, or not? How am I supposed to know if you don't make it clear?" Jiu Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, asking the question knowing the answer already.

"Apricot Jam, are you sure you want me to stop? But your body seems to be quite honest."

Sakura Kyoko was powerless to refute; intense pleasure swept over her like a tidal wave, almost drowning her. Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and the blush on her cheeks became more pronounced, even her ears turning a rosy hue.

After a while, Sakura Kyoko's toes suddenly pointed straight up, letting out a high-pitched scream, as if her body had been struck by an electric current. The hand covering her mouth slowly fell down, her eyes became unfocused, and she collapsed to the ground limply, as if someone had suddenly removed her bones.

Her consciousness gradually blurred, as if she were in a warm ocean, her body as light as if floating on clouds. She wanted to struggle, to escape this feeling of being out of control, but her body was completely unresponsive, and she could only let the pleasure continue to ravage her body.

Seeing this, Sayaka Miki blushed all the way to her ears. She had reason to suspect that Jiuxiao's so-called "friend of magical girls" was just a facade, and that he was clearly taking advantage of her! But she had no evidence, because there had been no direct physical contact between them.

Jiuxiao merely helped Sakura Kyoko restore her magic and purify the Soul Gem by injecting magic into her. She herself had a similar experience, but she didn't react as strongly as Sakura Kyoko did at the time.

Perhaps it's because everyone's constitution and sensitivity are different, or perhaps it's because Jiuxiao intentionally or unintentionally adjusted the intensity and frequency of the magic when injecting it.

Miki Sayaka secretly glanced at Sakura Kyoko, only to find her completely limp on the ground, breathing rapidly, her eyes glazed over, as if she had just experienced a battle she couldn't speak of...

"Jiuxiao, you...you've gone too far!" Sayaka Miki finally couldn't help but speak up, her voice tinged with embarrassment and a hint of bitterness. She quickly walked to Kyoko Sakura's side, squatted down, and gently supported her shoulders, trying to help her sit up.

However, Sakura Kyoko showed no appreciation whatsoever, slapping Miki Sayaka's hand away with a hint of dazedness and resistance in her eyes. Her body was still trembling slightly, as if she was still immersed in that indescribable afterglow, unable to fully awaken.

"Don't...don't touch me..." Sakura Kyoko murmured softly, her voice hoarse and weak, carrying a strange allure. Carefully assessing her current state, Sakura Kyoko was filled with shame and indignation. If she weren't outmatched by Jiuxiao, she would have rushed up and given him a good beating. However, she didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone lift a finger.

A gentle breeze swept by, and Sakura Kyoko felt a chill on her skin. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the situation. Upon closer inspection, one could see that her super-short denim shorts were stained dark, clinging tightly to her long, slender legs and outlining their alluring curves.

Sakura Kyoko hurriedly reached out to cover herself, her face instantly turning bright red, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"You bastard! What do you want? I... I'll fight you to the death!" Sakura Kyoko glared at Jiuxiao through gritted teeth, her eyes burning with rage, but her body remained weak and powerless, lacking even the strength to stand up. She gripped the ground tightly with her fingers, trying to prop herself up, but each attempt ended in failure.

Sayaka Miki stood to the side, watching everything helplessly, unsure of what to do. Her gaze shifted back and forth between Kyuu and Kyoko Sakura, her heart filled with confusion.

Inexperienced in such matters, she naturally didn't understand what Sakura Kyoko had just gone through, nor did she understand why Jiuxiao's "magic replenishment" would have such an effect. She only felt her heart racing and her cheeks burning. Her innate female intuition made her realize that something seemed amiss in the scene before her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Jiu Xiao blushed, never expecting things to turn out this way. It turned out that besides Sania, Sakura Kyoko's sensitivity to magic was also incredibly high. He had only intended to help her restore her magic and purify the Soul Gem, but things had spiraled out of control, and now it was difficult to handle...

He coughed awkwardly, trying to cover his embarrassment, and then pretended to be calm, saying, "Ahem, well, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Take a close look and feel it. Has the Soul Gem been restored to its original state? And is the magic power full again?"

Jiu Xiao's voice was somewhat stiff, and he subconsciously took a step back, trying to keep his distance from Sakura Kyoko to avoid further provoking her.

Upon hearing this, Sakura Kyoko subconsciously looked up at the Soul Gem in Jiu Xiao's hand. Sure enough, the previously dim Soul Gem was now radiating a soft and pure light, as if it had never been tainted. She felt her magical power surging within her, even stronger than before.

This is...outrageous. If she hadn't experienced it herself, Kyoko Sakura would never have believed such a thing.

However, this method of "replenishing mana" filled her with immense shame. She had never imagined that she would regain her magic under such circumstances. But then again, it wasn't entirely unacceptable...

Just as she was about to say something, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the alley entrance, interrupting her thoughts. Sakura Kyoko, Kushou, and Miki Sayaka all turned their heads at the same time and saw two uniformed police officers walking quickly towards them, their eyes scanning the alley with vigilance.

"Hey, you guys, what are you doing here?" one of the patrol officers shouted, his brows furrowed as he looked at the group of thugs lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

Sakura Kyoko's heart tightened, and she hurriedly pressed her hands tightly to her thighs, trying to cover the dark mark. Although the other person was far away, they certainly couldn't see it; it could only be said that her actions were entirely instinctive, a result of her guilty conscience.

Jiu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over him. The memory of firing the gun flashed through his mind. Although no one had been injured, the police wouldn't believe their explanation. Moreover, several thugs lay on the ground, their fates unknown. If things escalated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He quickly glanced at Sakura Kyoko and Miki Sayaka, and whispered, "Run!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiuxiao grabbed Miki Sayaka's wrist, ready to make a run for it. But he saw Sakura Kyoko still kneeling on the spot, looking weak and listless.

Jiuxiao was anxious, but dared not urge him loudly, so he whispered, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"

"I...I can't muster any strength..." Sakura Kyoko gritted her teeth, her voice weak, her face full of embarrassment.

Jiu Xiao frowned. Seeing the patrol officers getting closer and closer, he didn't have time to think. He quickly turned around and picked up Sakura Kyoko around the waist.

"Hey! You—" Sakura Kyoko exclaimed, instinctively struggling, but her body was limp and she couldn't muster any strength. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

"Don't move!" Jiu Xiao hissed, his tone carrying an undeniable authority. "This is not the time to be shy. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Sakura Kyoko bit her lip, finally giving up the struggle and letting Jiu Xiao hold her. She buried her face in Jiu Xiao's chest, hearing his rapid heartbeat mixed with the footsteps of the police officers patrolling outside the alley, which made her feel dizzy.

Seeing this, Sayaka Miki quickly followed, and the three of them ran deeper into the alley.

Upon seeing this, the two patrol officers immediately quickened their pace. One of them shouted, "Stop! Don't run!" The other quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and began calling for backup.

However, at the end of the alley was a high wall, and there was no way out.

"Oh no, it's a dead end!" Sayaka Miki exclaimed in a low voice, her face turning pale instantly.

"Jump over there! Are you stupid? Have you forgotten you're a magical girl?" Jiuxiao glared at Miki Sayaka while holding Sakura Kyoko, her tone tinged with helplessness and anxiety.

Chapter 180 Oh my god, apricot juice!

Miki Sayaka then realized what was happening, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on her face: "Ah, right, I completely forgot we had this ability..."

Before the words were even finished, Jiu Xiao had already quickly adjusted his posture, holding Sakura Kyoko firmly in his arms. With a powerful push off the ground, he soared into the air like an arrow, easily clearing the high wall. Miki Sayaka followed closely behind, her body lightly leaping up and landing steadily on the other side of the wall.

When the two patrol officers reached the end of the alley, they found only empty walls and messy footprints on the ground. One of the officers frowned and looked around in confusion: "Strange, where are they? We clearly saw them running this way just now."

Another patrolman was also puzzled. He looked up at the high wall and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. This wall is so high, how could they possibly jump over it?"
