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

Chapter 77 Offering the Qingyun Sect to Jiang Mingshi, who was in dire straits (7,000 words)
The disaster relief strategy layout in Jiangming City is completely different from that in Beihai.

The location is in an industrial park in the south of the city. There are several buildings in the industrial park marked with the name of the Disaster Management Bureau, most of which are used for training and receiving visitors.

The real disaster management agency is actually in the mirror.

When Qingluan brought the magical girl she had picked up along the way into the Disaster Management Bureau, she saw that the industrial park was full of disaster beasts.

Thankfully, there were no B-level disaster beasts.

After easily dealing with a few calamity beasts, a gray-haired magical girl approached. Although she looked somewhat tired, she still glanced at Qingluan and the girl behind her. "The director asked you to ask more questions about the Qingyun Sect. You can register them, but don't bring them in."

"Okay." As Qingluan inserted the card, two huge meteorites instantly smashed into the nearby calamity beast. "You guys rest first."

"No need, we can handle this here. You go back and register her first, otherwise the director will start nagging again."

The magical girl complained, "It's really annoying to be so petty at a time like this..."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qingluan didn't stand on ceremony. When she felt that there weren't many calamity beasts left, she led the magical girls from the Qingyun Sect to a building in the center.

She quickly walked to the front desk, deactivated her transformation, turned on the computer, and skillfully asked, "May I ask your name?"

"Water bell, magical girl water bell."

After the girl finished speaking, the entire building was struck by the monster's attack and shook violently. Shui Ling almost lost her balance and quickly grabbed the table next to her. The sunlight streaming through the glass overhead was also shaking wildly.

For a moment, it made one feel dizzy, and a sharp, teeth-grinding creaking sound came from deep within the reinforced concrete.

It seemed as if the load-bearing beams and columns were under pressure far exceeding their limits, so Shui Ling couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Won't it collapse?"

"No problem, the building here is very sturdy."

Qingluan looked up and saw that Shuiling was still in her transformed state. As before, her magic outfit was very simple, with a white and pink dress. The special thing was that she wore the light pink Miracle Seed as an earring.

After registering the device and lifting some security restrictions, the infrared camera that had been scanning the water bell inside the building was removed.

While registering, they also asked the director in the chat group how to proceed.

The director's attitude was probably to have her question the Qingyun Sect members and their attitudes.

This is really troublesome. To be honest, she still felt a little uneasy about contacting the Qingyun Sect.

While she was still pondering, Xiaobai jumped out of the seed again, looking at her with a slightly fierce expression, "Are you also a magical girl from the Qingyun Sect? Where is your incubator?"

Water Bell tilted its head, the miracle seed in its right earlobe swaying. Instead of answering its question, it asked curiously, "Huh? Why can you fly out and talk?"

"The incubators are supposed to come out and speak!" Little White shouted. "On the contrary, why don't your incubators come out?"

"That's because it's too much of a hindrance."

Water Bell said as if it were a matter of course, "It can't be used for fighting, and it will also consume magic power. It just chatters away and says some useless nonsense. I originally wanted to break it up, but the teacher said that it might be used in the future, so I temporarily sealed it in the seed so that it wouldn't get in the way."

Little White darted behind Qingluan in a flash. "Little Qing, Little Qing, look at them! They're really wicked villains, so scary!"

Qingluan touched her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

If it weren't for Jiangming City, she might indeed be very hostile towards the Qingyun Sect.

Of course, even in Jiangming City, she didn't have a good impression of the Qingyun Sect.

The reason she's helping now is mainly because of the two magical girls from the Qingyun Sect she saw.

This is beyond the realm of common sense.

At the very least, none of them are things I can handle.

Even if we don't have a good impression of each other, we can't afford to make enemies. The situation in Jiangming City is so bad right now, it's always good to have more allies.

She is already a mature and calm magical girl, and she doesn't interact with others based on personal preferences.

The building shook again during the attack.

Outside, the magical girls let out some dangerous screams. Cracks appeared in the building's ceiling, and white putty and dust poured down like rain. Then, smaller stones hit the desks and the floor, scattering fragments.

Qingluan casually reached out and cleared the pebbles off the table. Shuiling screamed in fright, patting the dirt off her head as she asked in a flustered manner, "Is this how your Disaster Management Bureau always is?"

"It's alright, it's only been happening frequently lately."

"How are we supposed to live like this?!"

"Get used to it."

Qingluan glanced around again; there were indeed more calamity beasts today, but she didn't take it to heart and simply continued to ask:
"Bai Mei, do you know her?"

Qingluan thought carefully about the other person's characteristics, "A white magical girl, blind, and she looks very ill."

"Oh, you mean my teacher? My teacher isn't blind, and her condition has improved in recent years. Actually, she's in pretty good health."

Qingluan and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, then scratched their heads. "Uh, maybe we're not talking about the same person..."

“I know you’re talking about my teacher.” Shui Ling jumped up and sat on the table. “Although my teacher is a good person and his health is stable, he may have suffered brain damage from a serious illness a few years ago, resulting in a bit of juvenile dementia. He likes to pretend to be sick and likes to keep his eyes closed. Although he hasn’t made a move in a long time, it’s still in its early stages, but my teacher is very powerful.”

"All right……"

Were they pretending to be blind? No wonder they seemed to be able to see everything.

Their strength is indeed formidable.

Qingluan gasped as she recalled that sword strike; if she had been facing it head-on, she probably would have been killed instantly.

Because of that magic—or, as Bai Mei herself put it, sword energy.

That sword energy wasn't a one-time event.

Instead, it is a continuous and relentless destruction.

Once your magical armor disappears and you exit the transformed state, one hit would probably be fatal.

I doubt you could find many magical girls who could withstand that sword strike and survive.

The fact that the budding magical girl is this powerful has completely shattered her worldview of so many years...

However powerful she may be, as a nascent magical girl, she still can't fly, so in terms of mobility, she has a certain advantage...

She couldn't help but start thinking about how to survive in their hands, but she quickly shook her head, deciding not to think about such a useless thing.

"Boom!"

In the distance, the glass of a building shattered instantly, and millions of sparkling fragments exploded in the air, cascading down like a waterfall with a crisp yet terrifying crash!
Even the walls of this building have developed hideous cracks, with the plaster constantly being eroded and peeling off, revealing the twisted steel bars inside.

Amidst the magical girl's shout, the upper half of the building next door collapsed.

Although I was a little scared.

But Shuiling felt she shouldn't make a fuss and embarrass the teacher, so she just glanced at it and praised:
"Wow, the Disaster Management Bureau is really impressive."

Qingluan seemed a little absent-minded, while Xiaobai behind her suddenly asked in a low voice, "Why are you so vicious to your incubators? Incubators are the best partners of magical girls, they will accompany you no matter life or death, they are the most reliable friends!"

Water Bell casually pulled her incubator out of the Miracle Seed. It was already somewhat withered, with little magic left, and only a trace of life remained. It wouldn't be surprising if it died at any moment.

"You call this a partner? Don't be ridiculous." Water Bell casually swung her hand, seemingly unconcerned that the incubator would fall apart. "Instead of saying that Sister Qingluan should have thrown away her incubator sooner, it not only occupies a portion of magic power, but the incubator's emotional fluctuations also affect the use of magic power."

"My teacher also said that a magical girl as powerful as you would definitely reach even greater heights if you discarded the Incubator!"

Little White was so frightened by the hatcher that was being tossed around by the water bell and was barely clinging to life that it dared not move. Its cute, cat-like face was filled with panic and unease.

Qingluan came to her senses, shook her head seriously, and hugged her incubator. "I am different from you. Xiaobai has been with me since I was a baby. It has helped me a lot and is my best friend. A little bit of magic fluctuation and magic consumption will not affect me much. On the contrary, if I lose Xiaobai, I will lose the courage and strength to fight. Xiaobai will become stronger with me."

Xiao Bai's eyes immediately welled up with tears, "Xiao Qing..."

"Whatever." Water Bell casually stuffed her hatcher back into her miracle seed like trash. "But actually, it would be much more useful if you refined it and turned it into equipment..."

"Alright, I don't want to discuss incubators with you."

Qingluan interrupted her, quickly continuing, "What is your purpose in coming to our Disaster Management Bureau this time? Qingyun Sect has always been a free and neutral organization, not favoring either the Witch Society or the Disaster Management Bureau. If you want to join the Disaster Management Bureau to deal with the Witch Society, of course we will support you..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!" Shui Ling immediately interrupted her anxiously. "What do you mean by joining the Disaster Management Bureau? If the teacher hears this, he'll beat us to death. We don't want to join the Disaster Management Bureau. I came here just hoping you can help me find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Besides our teacher Bai Mei, I have three other students in our Qingyun Sect,"

"First is Chiaki, no one can compare to her when it comes to being an idiot. Then there's the swordsmith, I don't know her name, but she says she knows all the material knowledge and is a magical girl who helps us forge wands. And then there's another one I don't recognize, I guess... maybe she can't transform."

For a moment, Qingluan wondered if the Qingyun Sect didn't accept ordinary magical girls...

Although Shui Ling did not introduce herself.

However, this budding magical girl went to a tall building to use magic, but because she was only a budding magical girl, she couldn't fly.

I can't get down.

Qingluan assumed the other party wanted a better magical effect, but only found out after questioning them upon arrival.

Simply because she thought it looked cool...

Is being unique a requirement for the Qingyun Sect to recruit magical girls?

“I’ll help you find it, but until then, you have to stay here.” Qingluan said while keeping an eye on the battle outside. “The witches outside will keep capturing magical girls, and it will be dangerous for you to run around.”

"I know."

Shui Ling lowered her voice, "By the way, would you like to join our Qingyun Sect?"

Little White behind Qingluan immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Little Qing will never join you!"

"I'll think about it."

Xiao Bai almost fell to the ground, then quickly scrambled up and grabbed Qing Luan's sleeve, "Qing Luan, don't you want me anymore?"

"No." Qingluan gave a somewhat tired smile. "I just have some doubts about some things at the General Administration. Of course, I won't leave the Disaster Management Bureau until I understand some things."

Moreover, my personality is too ordinary, and I'm afraid the Qingyun Sect won't accept me.

Shui Ling nodded, "No problem, no problem, you can come anytime. Although our Qingyun Sect in Jiangming City is not large, in BH City, our Qingyun Sect is a large organization with a thousand-year history! Our leader is also a Blooming Magical Girl, very powerful, she can fully bloom in a minute, she just doesn't want to."

In reality, I don't know how strong the water bell is, and I'm a little hesitant to play it.

Although Teacher Bai Mei often talks about how amazing her master is, she is still in the nascent stage and may not know how powerful a fully blossoming magical girl is. Moreover, Teacher Bai Mei has been away from Beihai for almost three years.

Those who were once considered impressive by Teacher Bai Mei may not be so impressive anymore.

Teacher Bai Mei is very capable, but her judgment is actually not very good.

If you had good taste, you wouldn't have chosen those four as students...

However, Teacher Bai Mei has always wanted to develop the Qingyun Sect in Jiangming City, so Shui Ling also wants to help her recruit students.

We must lavish praise on that unfamiliar sect leader in order to lure Qingluan over!
"Our teacher said that the leader of the Qingyun Sect can destroy a street with a single blow!"

Unexpectedly, Qingluan simply shook her head: "Not that weak, she should be able to destroy a city."

Huh? Is she being sarcastic?
Shui Ling thought her lie had been exposed and that the other person was making even more exaggerated claims to laugh at her.

But he looked very serious.

It's very possible that seeing my extraordinary strength made them automatically imagine how powerful our boss is, or maybe they were genuinely fooled by me.

Could it be that Shui Ling really has a talent for being a con artist?

"Oh!"

The building here started to twist and deform, and Shui Ling subconsciously looked up.

Part of the ceiling above the building has melted away at some point.

Amidst the gasps of some magical girls, various heavy weapons appeared upstairs. In addition to cannons and guns, there were coils of electricity emitting light and something that looked like a flowerpot that was flashing and spinning.

They unleashed a massive barrage of firepower to support the magical girl.

The monsters were indeed suppressed and unable to move, giving the magical girl room to fight back.

Shui Ling remained calm, arms crossed, and nodded with an expression that said she understood everything. "Oh, it seems the battle is going well. The calamity beast is being suppressed. It can hold on."

Qingluan then slightly rose to her feet.

They can't hold on any longer! They've brought out all their hidden weapons. The battle lines are on the verge of collapse.

The girl was yelling and screaming just now, but when things really started to fall apart, she acted like nothing was wrong.

Are all the magical girls from the Qingyun Sect this unreasonable?

Qingluan took out her magic wand while observing the outside.

Why are there so many more monsters today?

Some of the magical girls outside couldn't hold on any longer and deactivated their transformations.

She had no choice but to get up and continue speaking:

"Once my business at the Disaster Management Bureau is finished, I'll go visit the Qingyun Sect. Let's try to find your friend first."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing the other person's happy expression, Qingluan felt relieved.

The thought of the purple sun that blanketed the entire city weighed heavily on her heart.

Jiang Ming is actually a bit younger than Bei Hai...

If the explosion had occurred in Jiangming City, there probably wouldn't be any survivors.

Was the other party threatening me by mentioning their sect leader? Or was I just being overly sensitive?

Regardless, agree first to keep the other party calm.

We must not anger the Qingyun Sect.

"Then I'll go first..."

Just as I was about to make some arrangements for what would happen after Shui Ling, a huge roar echoed throughout the entire building!
The floors above were blown away!
Huge boulders mixed with steel bars fell like a torrential downpour of glass!

Qingluan immediately inserted the card and transformed!

[Star patterns descend.]

The transformation's immense power instantly blasted away all the falling debris and rubble around them.

Shui Ling, who was protecting her head, felt another terrifying tremor, almost making her fly away!

Looking up, two enormous monstrous beasts appeared above the industrial park and crashed down!

"A Rank B Disaster Beast!" Shui Ling's eyes widened, filled with awe. "Wow, two of them! What kind of miserable life do the Disaster Management Bureau lead? It must be so tough!"

"How can it be!"

Qingluan finally couldn't sit still any longer and lost all interest in arguing with Shuiling. She immediately rushed out, shouting, "Stay here and don't run around!"

"wait me back!"

……

Chi Lian had spoken with the twins and the captain that morning.

In the afternoon, he returned to his large villa, where he reviewed the latest stock market and profit reports while issuing orders.

The planning and implementation at the Jiangming City Disaster Management Bureau is almost complete.

She poured herself another glass of red wine, took a satisfied sip, and stood at the top of the building, looking down.

His own businesses were now all within sight.
Next, we'll take over the entire Disaster Management Bureau, then expand into the North Sea, followed by an advance into South China, dominating the entire North and South China region, and replacing the headquarters...

The blueprint for the future was already unfolding before her eyes, and she took another big gulp of wine.

It's a pity that the captain is gone, and the humiliation he caused us back then can never be avenged.

No, that twin girl can use her memories to recreate a monster similar to the captain; using it to vent her frustrations isn't necessarily a bad thing...

Thinking this, he took the crystal ball out of his hand.

When the crystal ball lit up, four faces appeared inside it.

"I said, do we really have to communicate like this? We live in the modern world now, everyone, cell phones are much more convenient, okay?"

The one speaking was a masked girl from the center, a newcomer personally trained by Chi Lian over the years.

Flower Fox.

With exceptional talent, in just a few years his strength has already allowed him to escape from the hands of the Blooming Magical Girl.

"The older generation of witches don't even know how to use a cell phone. Can't you be a little more considerate of your seniors?" The woman on the left said in a rough voice. "And who turned on the light? It's too bright to see anything."

This was the first investor back then, and he didn't leave even during the most difficult period for the Witch Club.

After hearing this, the masked girl complained again, "The crystal ball exposure can't be adjusted, I already told you to get a new phone..."

The middle-aged man with thinning hair on the right sighed, "There's too much formalism here. What will our Witch Association become in the future..."

The investor who recently joined the Witch's Guild is quite capable; I heard he used to work for the Disaster Management Bureau.

The last one was the bald man: "Crystal has a better atmosphere, right, Lord Red Serpent?"

Chi Lian didn't recognize the roadside.

"Alright, alright," Chi Lian interrupted their conversation with a smile. "Now that the Dafeng Factory has just opened, our business is taking another step forward, so let's not say anything discouraging."

"I came to see you this time for two reasons: one is to celebrate the establishment of the Great Wind Factory, and the other is because I captured the magical girl from the Qingyun Sect. They probably won't let this go easily."

Chi Lian licked her lips, and a centipede-like creature emerged from the tip of her tongue. "We are not afraid of the Qingyun Sect, but we cannot let our guard down. Although we have just captured a magical girl from the Qingyun Sect, we must prepare for an attack from them as soon as possible. I hope you can go to the Dafeng Factory to keep watch tomorrow to prevent the Qingyun Sect thieves from sneaking in."

"I think you're worrying too much, boss," the masked fox said, shaking his head. "They probably don't even know their disciple has been arrested in half a day."

"Yeah, yeah, even if they found out, would they dare to come!" the bald man on the roadside, whom Chi Lian didn't recognize, shouted. "Lady Chi Lian has the protection and support of four of our captains!"

"Who are you?" Chi Lian thought for a moment, but still didn't say it.

"The reason why Boss Chi Lian has gotten to where he is today is because of this caution," the old woman said with a hoarse laugh. "You should all talk less and learn from her."

"You're the one who should be learning properly. We could have taken care of both of the Blooming Magical Girls at once, but because of your carelessness, the other one got away."

Flower Fox mocked mercilessly, "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're the mole!"

The old woman was filled with murderous intent: "If it weren't for Lord Chi Lian valuing you, I would have torn your mouth apart long ago!"

Flower Fox raised its head: "You can try it now."

Chi Lian rubbed her temples as she watched the two of them.

Thinking of the twins and the captain's affectionate relationship of patting each other's heads, she sighed with a touch of envy.

Jiang Ming couldn't possibly have such a good relationship with her subordinates.

Although she felt that she was no less capable than the captain.

However, in terms of interpersonal relationships, he is still not as good as the team leader. It is not easy for him to get along so well with his subordinates.

I wonder how the team leader handles the relationships between these subordinates who don't get along.

"In short, if you have time, you should start paying more attention to the Dafeng Factory today, lest the Qingyun Sect send people to rescue the magical girl we captured."

She clapped her hands and forcefully assigned tasks, "The rest of you, continue to monitor the Disaster Management Bureau."

The middle-aged man with thinning hair finally spoke again, "Currently, the Disaster Management Bureau has deployed twelve disaster beasts near the south of the city, and is still testing the limits of the Bureau's ability to handle disaster beasts."

"Very good, keep it up..."

“Uh, boss,” the masked fox suddenly said, “I just received a message.”

"what?"

“The Dafeng Factory has been destroyed.” Flower Fox added, “The deputy mayor and An Hui are both dead, and both B-level disaster beasts are gone.”

The crystal ball fell silent for a moment, and even Chi Lian was stunned.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Who did this?"

"A white magical girl."

The middle-aged man with thinning hair quickly came to his senses, his eyes wide with rage, and his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain:
"It must have been the Disaster Management Bureau! An Hui, my An Hui!"

After letting out two heart-wrenching roars, he turned and shouted, "Men! Throw the remaining twenty-odd calamity beasts into the Disaster Management Bureau! I want them to pay for their crimes in blood!"

“Calm down, it might not be the Disaster Management Bureau.” Chi Lian took a deep breath. “It could be someone from the Qingyun Sect…”

But they've only been arresting people for half a day? How could it be that fast?

Or was it just a simple accident?
“I saw Qingluan bring the magical girls from the Qingyun Sect into the Disaster Management Bureau,” the Flower Fox suddenly said. “Maybe the Disaster Management Bureau suddenly had a change of heart and joined forces with the Qingyun Sect? I’ve heard that the Qingyun Sect in the North Sea is very powerful.”

"It was indeed the Disaster Management Bureau that did it!"

The middle-aged man with thinning hair turned around again and roared at his subordinates, "Get the remaining two B-level disaster beasts into the Disaster Management Bureau as well!"

"Don't waste the calamity beast." The old woman looked at the thinning-haired middle-aged man with disdain. "Look at your pathetic self, can't you calm down a bit?"

Chi Lian rubbed her forehead and continued, "Even if the Beihai Qingyun Sect is powerful, they couldn't possibly get here so quickly."

Even if the twins betrayed each other, it would be impossible for them to react this quickly.

"It's most likely Jiang Ming's Qingyun Sect, that's why they acted so quickly." Chi Lian quickly made a judgment. "However, Jiang Ming's Qingyun Sect knows how powerful we are, so they'll probably run away after rescuing the people. Seal off the station and thoroughly check everyone heading to Beihai!"

"Received!" the old woman replied immediately. "I'll send someone over right away!"

"Flower Fox, seal off the sky above. Keep a close watch on it. No magical girls are allowed to come in or go out."

"Yes."

Chi Lian stroked the crystal ball, revealing a sinister and dangerous smile.

"You dare to act wildly here? Do you really think Jiang Ming is some kind of monster? Trying to run away? No way! I'd like to see where this magical girl from the Qingyun Sect can run to!"

Just as Chi Lian was imagining how she would mock the Twins and her captain after taking down the Qingyun Sect.

The fox suddenly uttered another "uh".

"Boss."

"what happened?"

"It seems she didn't run away..." Flower Fox stammered, "The pharmaceutical factory in the third district of North Street, the factory that specializes in making disaster beasts, also... also exploded. Someone saw it, and it was that white magical girl again..."

A long silence fell over the crystal ball and the office.

After a long silence, Chi Lian said in a sinister tone, "Grab her!"

"Too fast, they disappeared in an instant..."

"Flower Fox! How could you say such a cowardly thing!" The bald stranger on the roadside immediately shouted, "Lord Red Serpent, leave it to me! I'll go and capture that reckless magical girl!"

"Aaaaah!" The old woman, who had remained calm throughout, suddenly screamed in agony, "My pharmaceutical factory! My son! Someone! Throw my A-rank disaster beast into the Disaster Management Bureau! Seize the magical girl from the Qingyun Sect! I want to see where they can run to! I'm going to kill them!"

"Calm down..."

Chi Lian looked at the now-messy crystal ball and rubbed her temples, her head throbbing with pain.

Inside the crystal ball, one could vaguely see the captain's bright white smile peeking out from the darkness beneath his robe.

The irony of the twins from before kept echoing in my ears.

"You might not even be able to last three years."

ridiculous.

Will I, Chi Lian, not last three years?
Let alone the three thousand calamity beasts and members of the Witch Society, even if they released three thousand pigs, the Qingyun Sect would still have to capture them for three years!

"Notify all members of the Witches' Guild to go on high alert!" Chi Lian said viciously. "Go all out to wipe out the Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Management Bureau!"

Three years? Just three months, no, three days to take down the Qingyun Sect!
