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

Chapter 244 Cutting the weeds without pulling them out at the root (Second update, still asking for monthly votes)
"Didn't you say this trick would work?"

"Who knew there was an option to cooperate directly with us..."

"district!"

[Note: It was His Highness's own suggestion that he want to be the princess who is rescued...]

"You're from the district too, shut up!"

The prince, who had just climbed out of the cage, angrily intimidated those around him, then tidied his somewhat disheveled hair—it had been neater than Coco's when he was in the cage.

It was only when we got up that things became a little chaotic.

The prince remained expressionless and unaffected, turning around to sit on the table, his snow-white chin held high, and his legs crossed.

Her hands rested on her legs, the black stockings, though torn in the wire when she emerged from the cage, revealing glimpses of her fair skin, still couldn't conceal her nobility and elegance. She reached out and touched the tear in the black stockings, feeling a slight tightness against her flesh; the matte black outlined her perfect leg lines. The prince gave a cold snort, exuding confidence and arrogance.

"You saw through it from the very beginning?"

"nature."

Jiang Si sneered, "Clumsy acting. As soon as I lower my head and hand over the Miracle Seed, you'll declare the test a failure and think I'm not a reliable partner, right? This kind of probing is really too low-level."

The driver was dumbfounded: "What the hell did you see through?!"

Anxious.

Some people don't react when they are outmatched in strength, but they become anxious when they are outmatched in intelligence.

The most obvious example is magic. Some competitive viewers become quite angry and eager to expose the magician's tricks once they realize they cannot see through them.

Jiang Si naturally understood this perfectly, because he had been like that since he was a child.

However, he has grown up, but the people in front of him are clearly not yet grown up.

After being intellectually outmatched, they immediately showed an eagerness to get back at their opponents.

As the victor, Jiang Si naturally wouldn't be in a hurry.

These idiots have no idea how complicated the trials in online novels are, or how many twists and turns they have. If they're not careful, they might get caught up in them.

Not to mention that some trials involve the Dao Lord playing chess, while powerful beings make their moves!
And every protagonist in an online novel can accurately find the flaws in those trials.

Jiang Si was no exception.

Providing the miracle seed can save the prince. It sounds simple, but you only need to use your brain to think about it carefully.

It can't be that simple!
Jiang Si had already considered the second layer. Although rescuing the prince would help gain trust, what use would their alliance be if they lost the Seed of Miracle?

Moreover, he and the prince were not familiar with each other at all, and the so-called marriage contract was meaningless. No one would be hypnotized into becoming husband and wife just by signing a document.

The biggest problem between them is the lack of trust.

Therefore, what needs to be demonstrated here is one's absolute pursuit and unwavering belief in the path to full development!
Only in this way can the prince be sure that their interests are aligned, and only then can the prince trust him!

Truly reliable relationships are maintained by mutual interests, and as long as one demonstrates a firm and absolute pursuit of those interests, it is impossible for the prince to abandon one.

Therefore, giving up the prince and being willing to cooperate as long as he can provide full bloom is the right choice.

Easy win!

Such a convoluted line of thought would be hard to come up with unless he was well-versed in online novels.

Seeing their exasperated expressions, he could only chuckle.

A group of short-sighted and ignorant lower-level students.

However, the prince still needs to find a way to achieve perfect bloom.

He wouldn't actually be completely disrespectful. Compared to Hongmian from the Disaster Management Bureau, Jiang Si considered himself to be more worldly-wise. Giving the other party a way out at this time would make subsequent negotiations much easier.

"I don't know who came up with this terrible idea. It was a bit stupid, but the prince and princess did a pretty good job."

The prince said with a forced smile, "I paid for it."

"..."

Why is this person undermining themselves?

They have absolutely no sense of observation.

Jiang Si felt she couldn't communicate with someone who couldn't speak properly, but still maturely added, "Luckily, he's not beyond redemption."

"Humph."

The prince turned his head slightly, no longer dwelling on these details, and simply stared at his neck and lips for a while.

"You're having a great time with Shion, aren't you?"

"Fortunately."

The experienced driver covered his face.

Bro, you're completely wrong, bro!
If you're going to cheat, at least do it properly!

In front of Ziyuan, be a good boyfriend and don't get killed; in front of the prince, be a good fiancé and coax your fiancée.

How about some sweet talk? Give me a little! With your current level of affection, a couple of sweet words should be enough to win you over, right?
The prince is practically trying to create the conditions for you to play the hero and save the damsel in distress...

If you're going to be a jerk, at least be a little more ethical! Don't be so perfunctory!

However, the prince's expression was slightly awkward, but he didn't say anything, just nodded dismissively, "Then go and spend your life with your Ziyuan!"

Jiang thought for a moment, "There's no other way."

Not to mention the seasoned veterans, even the other members of the old world who were originally uninterested in the two of them couldn't contain themselves as they listened.

"Holy crap, can't you talk properly? Would it kill you to say something nice?"

"Prince, you've been living too comfortably in the past, so you're looking for someone to cultivate your masochistic interests, aren't you?"

"Is it possible that she has this kind of fetish herself...?"

Before the group could finish speaking, the prince waved his hand and threw them outside.

Having regained his composure, the prince stubbornly maintained his facade of arrogance, saying, "I was just joking."

"I can tell."

"...How come I didn't notice?"

"You probably made yourself laugh first."

The prince's lips twitched, but he ultimately maintained a noble smile befitting royalty. "Alright, alright, alright, alright..."

"Stuttering?"

"I'm fine. I just want to ask you, where's the Miracle Seed? Can you give it to me now?"

Jiang Si did not hesitate and immediately took out the miracle seed that Qingluan had given him.

The miraculous seed of the iris, with a blooming flower locked inside, failed to hatch.

The seeds are green, but the flowers contain a purple glow.

There is no doubt that it is Shion's magic.

And this flower is the key to full bloom.

Just as the prince was about to take it, Jiang Si suddenly pulled it back.

The prince's crimson pupils narrowed. "What do you mean? Have you changed your mind again? In the end, you've chosen the Azure Cloud Sect, haven't you? This is what two-faced people are like..."

"No, I'm wondering, without the mental imagery domain, can you really achieve perfect full bloom?"

Jiang Si said seriously, "I'm a little worried that you'll fail."

After all, it wasn't until I gained access to the Mindscape Domain that I realized how useful it was.

Even the realm of mental imagery can lock away one's own magic.

Without the mental imagery domain, the maximum level of full opening that can be achieved is probably only like that of the Jade Fox, right?

Magical girls with and without mental images are like those who are unarmed and those who are armed—separated by a high wall.

"Do not worry."

For some reason, the prince's tone seemed much lighter. "We were prepared for this as well. I will obtain the domain of mental images."

From where?

"Of course it's from the magical girl, where else could it be?" the prince said matter-of-factly. "You don't need to worry about that. The technology of my Mirror Kingdom is all-powerful!"

[Warning: This is only a high probability event, not a 100% certainty...]

After silencing the system's nonsense and accepting the miracle seed thrown to him by Jiang Si, the prince finally showed a rare smile.

Then he added:
"Oh, right, there's a child who wants to join the New Witch Society, and even wants to become your confidant."

"Who?"

The prince clapped his hands, and the mirror space folded up, finally revealing a small house. Inside the house, a little girl was sitting quietly at a table, motionless.

"arctic fox."

At the prince's call, the girl finally turned her head. Her eyebrows and skin were white, and one of her pupils was also white.

Jiang Si felt her face looked vaguely familiar, but couldn't quite place where she'd seen her before. Combined with her white pupils, she possessed an ethereal, almost transparent quality. Her footsteps were light and almost silent as she approached, her expression remaining blank.

He looked like a robot.

"This child wants to join the new Witch's Guild. White Fox, this is Mr. Si Mo Tu."

The white fox finally turned its gaze to Si Mo Tu, then bowed slightly, giving a very polite bow.

"Hello, Mr. Si Motu."

Jiang Si simply asked, "What are your dreams? Anyone who joins the New Witch Society must have dreams."

"Yes, sir."

The girl spoke in a vague and ethereal voice, "My dream is to kill your girlfriend Ziyuan and destroy the Qingyun Sect, sir."

Jiang Si turned her head to the side. "Why?"

"For revenge."

The fair-skinned, translucent girl said, "Sir, I come from the Black Mountain Realm."

"Jade Fox is my foster mother."

……

When she got back to her dorm, Bing Tang couldn't help but sigh.

Yotsuba poured a cup of tea and jogged over to deliver it to Rock Sugar. "Lord Rock Sugar, please have some tea."

"When we're not at the Qingyun Sect and there's no one else around, I call you 'elder sister'."

Then Yotsuba smiled sweetly, "Yes, sister!"

Rock Sugar then patted Four Leaf's head with satisfaction.

Because the Qingyun Sect ultimately had to cater to Jiang Si's wishes, they still maintained a proper hierarchy in their daily address.

But when no one is around, Bing Tang still prefers to be called "sister".

After all, "adult" sounds so old.

She's not some kind of magical old monster from online novels who's lived for hundreds of years.

After looking around, everyone who was supposed to leave had left after the mental imagery trial ended.

Because there are still many things to do at the Qingyun Sect—whether it's dealing with the old world or dealing with the calamity beasts, it's always more reliable to have a true disciple overseeing things.

For Bing Tang, she was different from those remnants of the old world and the calamity beasts.

The Qingyun Sect cannot accept casualties.

Back when the Qingyun Sect was confined to the North Sea, it was manageable, but now that it has begun large-scale expansion, maintaining zero casualties is becoming increasingly difficult.

It is a very arduous task, requiring attention to many details.

We don't want any accidents to happen, and we don't want the sect leader to act as a babysitter. The Qingyun Sect needs to do its job well in addition to being the sect leader and prove its own value.

However, Bing Tang was a little surprised that the sect leader had spent so much money so quickly last time.

We need to allocate some funds from our own household for the sect leader's future use.

Even with so much money, when the two of them occasionally went out and saw money on the ground, Jiang Si would still habitually pick it up quickly.

"Why would you even bother picking up that little bit of money..."

"No matter how rich you are, you should pick up the money that falls on the ground. I once read an online article about a person who kept picking up money from the ground, penny by penny, until he became a millionaire!"

"Even in a novel, this is too outrageous!"

"It's not outrageous, because in the end, his uncle left him a million-dollar inheritance."

Where did this web novel come from...? Bing Tang thought about it for a long time and felt that it shouldn't be a cultivation web novel.

Jiang Si had heard him talk about most of the cultivation-themed online novels she liked, and none of them contained this kind of content.

It's probably some kind of urban novel, but generally speaking, Jiang Si doesn't read urban novels.

Perhaps it was told to Bai Mei.

For the past few days, Bing Tang has been trying to go through Bai Mei's list of works from her two hundred alternate accounts to find that web novel and see what's going on.

Since Jiang Si remembered it, it must have something commendable about it.

It might be brought up many more times in the future, so I should at least check back to avoid being left speechless.

"We've got news from Senior Sister!"

Liu Ye ran in from outside the door, then stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.

Yotsuba quickly helped her younger sister up, complaining that she shouldn't run around.

But Liu Ye just chuckled and handed the envelope with a small sword hanging from it to Bing Tang.

Even Bing Tang was taken aback. "Isn't Bai Mei still with Jiang Ming?"

"Has Senior Sister's sword energy evolved to this level?"

Bing Tang felt a chill run down her spine, even though she had obtained the Heart Image.

Because Bai Mei doesn't advance in her cultivation level, she won't be able to obtain the Heart Image in the short term.

However, this level of precision and endurance in sword energy...

I'm afraid I don't even have a 40% chance of winning.

As the sect's Grand Elder and Vice Sect Master, Bing Tang still didn't want the gap in strength between herself and Bai Mei to be too large.

“It was sent by mail,” Liu Ye explained immediately. “The magical girl from Jiang Ming’s Disaster Prevention Bureau is coming to participate in an event, so I brought it over for her as well.”

Rock Sugar breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I couldn't help but laugh.

My own Dao heart is far from sufficient.

"What did the envelope say?"

"She said she planned to leave Jiang Ming..."

However, she didn't actually have such a strong competitive spirit in the past. Even when the Seven Disciples were stronger than her, Bing Tang mostly offered her blessings and congratulations.

However, ever since she obtained the mental imagery domain, she has indeed had some ulterior motives.

I want to try and see if I can beat Bai Mei, the chief disciple.

Now that he's taken on the role of the challenger, Bing Tang laughed at the thought.

If the sect leader finds out, he will surely criticize her for lacking a firm Dao heart.

But it doesn't really matter.

Because Bai Mei is really amazing.

Although the Seven True Disciples wouldn't say this out of consideration for her, and even Bai Mei herself always said that she and Bing Tang were only on par, Bing Tang still knew it herself.

The gap still exists.

After obtaining the Mind Realm this time, Bing Tang also slightly developed the ambition to compete for the Dao that Jiang Si mentioned.

He wanted to compete with Bai Mei.

But before that.

Bing Tang looked at the message sent by Shuang Sheng.

During this period, the twins have rarely sent messages; I heard they're being monitored by the old world.

Bing Tang has never liked to rush the twins. She gets as much information as she can, because it would be bad if she pushed them too hard and put them in danger.

After all, she was going to infiltrate such a dangerous place without any support. It was difficult to even send supplies and money over, so she was always very lenient.

However, unexpectedly, the twins always provided very important information.

Looking at the contents of the intelligence report, Bing Tang pursed her lips, smiled, and then stood up.

"It's still a long way off before we find the magical kingdom, so there's no rush."

Taking Clover's hand, Bing Tang said, "Let's go meet another important person for now."

Liu Ye asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"The sect leader's fiancée."

Amidst the sudden silence between the two girls, Bing Tang said with a smile:

“Your Highness, Prince of the Mirror Kingdom”.

　I stayed up for two days and one night, more than seventy hours in total. The more I stayed up, the more excited I became. I couldn't sleep, but I managed to keep my emotions in check. I wrote two chapters, which I think are alright. I hope you all like them.

　　The male passersby, such as parents, will remain the same. The fact that the driver is a woman is partly to make a statement and partly to make everyone laugh. Mainly, when the name was revealed, some people said that the driver was a woman and the leader of a witch gang, which I found very funny, so I took it as a joke.

　　I hope you all enjoy watching, thank you!
