Yue Tianxin sat on the sofa, nibbling on a box of cookies.
Su Tianqing hid beside Observer Fox Fox, her warm milk replaced with a cup of warm water.
Looking at the two Fox Foxes, one large and one small, Hua Ling felt her emotions were extremely complicated.
"Although I've kept it from you all this time, since Hua Ling you're willing to share your secret with me, your older sister, of course I have to share my secret with you too."
Seeing Hua Ling frozen in place, Su Tianqing said with a smile.
"Hua Ling Meimei, do you think I'm a bad person for deceiving you?"
The girl recovered from her daze and quickly waved her hands.
"No, absolutely not!"
"I'm just very curious, Tianqing Jie, you're actually a Magic Girl... and also..."
"Because Tianqing is very talented," Fox Astrologer interjected.
"Little Yue said so, but I'm usually very busy and can't react to Monster attacks as quickly as you all, so I can only provide support as the situation dictates."
Su Tianqing said with a slight apology,
"I'm very sorry about today... Hyacinth and Nightingale, those two..."
"It's okay, it's not Tianqing Jie's fault, it's all me... I'm too useless," Hua Ling replied, lowering her head sullenly.
Dandelion's support had actually arrived very timely, but she only managed to give herself an enhancement magic.
If it weren't for that enhancement magic, Hua Ling felt she might have been taken down by Cheshire Rabbit on the spot.
"Xin Yuehu doesn't have much ill will; she probably won't do anything too extreme to them."
"That's hard to say! She's a villain, she's been at odds with you guys since birth!"
Fox Spirit refuted Su Tianqing's words, and the latter pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then just wagged her tail in agreement.
"Don't worry, Hua Ling Meimei, I've already contacted the Hero Association. I'm quite familiar with Senior Qi Yun and Teacher Meteor, and they've agreed to help conceal Little Feng's whereabouts."
"Really? That's great..."
Hua Ling let out a long breath, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
What she was worried about was Nan Father's concern over Little Feng's disappearance, but if the Hero Association intervened, that worry should be greatly alleviated.
"So, Hua Ling Meimei, you don't need to worry too much, I'll take care of it~"
Su Tianqing gave a thumbs up, proudly puffing out her Fox Fox chest.
"How about it, do you feel better? Do you want me to make you some supper?"
"No, that's not necessary, thank you, Tianqing Jie," Hua Ling quickly declined.
Coming to Tianqing Jie's house in the middle of the night to vent her stress, and then being comforted by the cute Fox Fox older sister, how could she still have the nerve to eat at the Fox Fox's house?
"Is that so... Well, do you want to stay at my house tonight? I can go stay at a hotel."
"That's not necessary either! I can fly back!" Hua Ling was even more embarrassed and quickly said.
After some back and forth, Su Tianqing couldn't win her over, so she just put on a thick coat and went to the rooftop, watching Hua Ling transform into Iris.
Looking at the pure white and elegant Magic Girl before her, Su Tianqing showed a joyful smile.
"No matter how many times I see it, Hua Ling Meimei is always so beautiful."
"Hmm... Thank you, Tianqing Jie... It's quite cold on the rooftop, Tianqing Jie, you should rest early. We'll figure out how to rescue Hyacinth and them tomorrow."
"Alright, then let's meet at the usual spot tomorrow night."
Fox Fox waved gently, watching the pure white girl leave.
Watching her depart, Su Tianqing finally couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth, revealing a cunning villainous smile.
"Heh heh heh... Interesting, too interesting."
Golden Fox casually waved away the Observer's familiar, a wide smile on her face.
Sure enough, things were going exactly according to her plan.
Compared to kidnapping herself with Razor Freak to put pressure on Hua Ling, revealing her identity as Dandelion would have a more decisive effect on her!
In Hua Ling's heart, Ben Hu has established a completely solid position, only then can she reap more and higher quality fun.
If "Su Tianqing" were simply kidnapped and threatened by Razor Freak, it would not only deepen Hua Ling's emotional trauma but might also make her feel quite guilty, thus falling into a vortex of self-doubt.
Ben Hu doesn't like such plots. Fortunately, she temporarily thought of today's perfect show, otherwise, she really wouldn't have had any way to deal with Hua Ling.
In short, it's time to think about what comes next.
First, create a tailor-made Razor Freak for Hua Ling. Even if it's a Witch, the strength must be controlled to a level where she cannot defeat it even with Ben Hu's enhancement magic.
As for how to make Hua Ling feel "a companion falling" and "a strong enemy's threat" at that time...
"Heh heh heh... Isn't that what Ben Hu is good at?"
Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
"At that time, I'll give Razor Freak a high-performance autonomous mode, and then add Ben Hu's precise manual control, and then..."
"Ah woo... Achoo! ..."
A loud, cute sneeze echoed on the rooftop.
Golden Fox's ears drooped, and she quickly wrapped herself tightly in her coat, the tip of her tail trembling violently a few times.
Hua Ling was right, it was indeed very cold on the rooftop. It was better to go to bed early today.
...
A little later.
Hua Ling leaned against the headboard, hugging a tail pillow, staring blankly at the quilt at the foot of the bed.
Today... a lot happened.
First, Little Feng and Mu Yao were kidnapped by Xin Yuehu, then she herself suffered a trauma-induced stress disorder and had to seek out Tianqing Jie to try and relieve the pressure.
And while relieving the pressure, she proactively admitted to Tianqing Jie that she was Iris, and then unexpectedly learned from Tianqing Jie that she was Magic Girl Dandelion...
So many things concentrated in this one day made Hua Ling feel quite exhausted.
Both mentally and physically, she was very tired.
...Indeed, Tianqing Jie is a person worthy of full trust, Hua Ling thought.
But if she encounters trouble in the future, she should still try to solve it herself first.
Tianqing Jie also has a lot of academic pressure, after all, she is a medical student, and even her usual Magic Girl activities can only be attended when she has free time, which fully explains the problem.
She should rest early today, she still has class tomorrow, and then discuss with Tianqing Jie in the evening how to rescue Little Feng and them—
"So! Hua Ling, you haven't paid attention to me for a long time!" Bai Diao (White Sable) Spirit floated by the window, saying angrily to Hua Ling.
"Eh? Bai Ling? When did you get here?"
"I've been here since you came home to shower! You didn't notice me all this time?!" Bai Ling was so angry she flew in front of Hua Ling and flicked her on the forehead.
"Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you anywhere!"
"That..."
Hua Ling recounted her recent experience in detail.
Bai Ling listened carefully and nodded gently.
"So that's it, Miss Dandelion is your previous Fox person older sister..."
"In that case, that's great. At least Hua Ling, you don't have to fight alone, and you have Miss Dandelion to help you."
"You rest well tonight. Tomorrow I'll go to the neighboring mountain city to find Qiugui and them to figure something out, and then contact Shanghai. We should be able to get Bai Lili and them to come help!"
Hua Ling nodded.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Bai Diao (White Sable) Spirit patted her chest, a confident expression on her face.
After Observer left, Hua Ling turned off the light and lay on the bed, but the Golden Fox's bright and healing smile still floated in her mind.
For Tianqing Jie, and to rescue Hyacinth and Nightingale, a new hope ignited in the girl's heart.
The long night stretched on, and the stars watched over the sleeping city, saying nothing, yet having said everything.
