Do you think this world is serious?

Whenever such a major event occurs, there are tens of thousands of things to deal with.

If it weren't for the grassroots managers sharing the burden, and the help from Himeko and the girls who had been "embraced" by the moonlight, Kallen would have given up managing Canghai City long ago due to excessive pressure.

Although Karen knew how to manage a large city, this was her first time actually managing one, so she not only always wanted to do things herself, but also lacked practical management experience.

"Since my sister isn't going to rest, then I won't rest either—I want to help my sister share the burden!"

Under the moonlight, a gentle pat on the cheek dispels lingering weariness and helps one regain clarity.

Then, she stared wide-eyed at the documents laid out in front of her, trying to understand their contents.

Unfortunately, the dense text in the document was like a highly effective "lullaby," quickly making Yuexia Chuyong feel her eyelids become very heavy, and she fell asleep again without realizing it.

Karen worked at her desk for a while, then saw that Chuyong under the moon had fallen asleep on the table again, and couldn't help but show a helpless yet doting smile.

Shortly after, her phone received a new message from Chen Xiuming.

Karen initially thought it was new information about the Crescent Moon New District, but the message turned out to be about Chen Xiuming saying he would be coming to Canghai City the next day.

"Is Xiuming coming tomorrow...?"

Karen fell into a deep thought.

After a few breaths, she glanced at the still-thick document and decisively chose to give up working and prepare to wake Yuexia Chuyong up so they could go home and rest.

Although Chen Xiuming didn't say it explicitly, she knew that Chen Xiuming would most likely not be alone tomorrow, and would probably come to Canghai City with the managers of the Crescent Moon New District.

If the other party is willing to take over Canghai City, Karen would not mind handing over the management rights of Canghai City to them.

She wouldn't have forcibly intervened and taken away the management rights of Canghai City if she didn't want it to fall into chaos.

Karen temporarily suppressed her chaotic thoughts, got up and walked to Moonlit Embrace's side, gently nudging Moonlit Embrace's shoulder.

"Theresa, Theresa, wake up..."

"Well……"

As the moonlight embraced her, she groggily opened her eyes and looked at Karen with a pure innocence untouched by knowledge.

Then, she belatedly realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep again.

"Sister, I'm sorry... I fell asleep again."

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong hung her head, looking as if she was humbly admitting her mistake.

Karen smiled and subconsciously reached out to press down on Yuexia Chuyong's head, as if she wanted to stroke Yuexia Chuyong, but then remembered that Yuexia Chuyong was no longer the child she once was, so she quietly withdrew her hand.

"Let's go home and rest."

"Hey? Is your sister done with her work?"

"No."

Karen shook her head and explained, "Xiu Ming said he will come to Canghai City tomorrow."

"what?"

She felt a moment of bewilderment as they embraced under the moonlight, then quickly pulled out her phone and saw that Chen Xiuming had also sent her several messages, which relieved her.

She thought Chen Xiuming had only messaged Karen and not her, which startled her so much that she was wide awake.

"Should we call Himeko?"

"Let's call her later and ask her. Let's leave here now."

Although she had only been in the office for a little over a day, Karen was no longer willing to stay there.

She even feels that she might dream of sitting in this office and working.

Chapter 170 Anila's "Natural Enemy" - Cat Food.

Crescent Moon New District.

After Chen Xiuming finished recounting his experiences in Canghai City, the girls chatted about other things. With their tacit understanding, even Vita, who was new to the city, was able to quickly join in the conversation.

Seeing the girls start discussing dinner, Chen Xiuming got up and left the pavilion, intending to wake Qi Luoxing, who was resting, for dinner.

Freya and Brolo exchanged a glance and followed Chen Xiuming away without prior arrangement, which made the girls left in the pavilion smile knowingly and then continue their discussion.

However, this time the topic wasn't about dinner, but rather when Brolo would be able to bring about a qualitative change in their relationship like Freya did, which Vita found quite intriguing.

When Chen Xiuming returned to the main hall of the Shaniat Flower Shop, he saw Anila, who had somehow transformed into a girl with purple hair and gray eyes, sitting at the front desk looking bored.

"Master, are you done, meow?"

Upon seeing Chen Xiuming leave the backyard, Anila immediately sat up straight and covered her mouth with her hand, as if trying to cover up the truth.

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly, glanced at the cat food bag that Anila had already opened, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"No, no, meow! Anila isn't stealing cat food, meow!"

Anila appeared quite nervous, and at the same time, she furtively reached into the nearly empty bag of cat food, seemingly trying to take away the "key evidence."

Chen Xiuming reached out and pressed down on Anila's head, roughly rubbing it a few times, causing Anila to let out a soft moan.

"If you want to eat cat food, then go ahead. These days, flower shops can easily feed you cat food forever. But have you considered cat treats?"

"What?! Anila isn't a cat, meow!"

Anila refuted Chen Xiuming's words with righteous indignation and conviction, but her left hand was already inside the cat food bag, rendering her rebuttal completely unconvincing.

Chen Xiuming was speechless, then pinched Anila's cheek and walked towards the shop door.

"I have to go out for a while. Please take good care of the store."

"Okay, meow~"

Anila lay back down on the table, rummaging through the nearly empty bag of cat food, popping it into her mouth one piece after another like candy.

Then, a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from the front desk.

"Meow~ Cat food is definitely tastier, meow~ Cat treats aren't what a proper cat should eat, meow~"

Although Anila's eating posture could not be seen, her soft whispers revealed that she must have been very happy while eating.

When Froai and Brolo suddenly passed by the front desk, Anila was startled and choked on a small piece of cat food. She then hurriedly poured water for them to drink.

"Damn it, meow! The great [Herrscher of Death] Anila almost lost to a mere piece of cat food, meow!"

Anila stared at the last few cat foods as if facing a formidable enemy, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of the cat food and pretended to bite it into pieces fiercely.

……

After Froei and Brolo caught up with Chen Xiuming, the former pretended to calmly take Chen Xiuming's arm, while the latter walked on Chen Xiuming's other side, instead of walking on Froei's other side as before.

As Chen Xiuming gets to know more and more girls, Blolo, who still maintains a "friend" relationship with Chen Xiuming, suddenly feels a greater sense of crisis.

However, she couldn't do what Freya did—"act first, then inform later"—to change the nature of the relationship before slowly becoming shy or savoring the experience.

—Bloody seems to be more easily embarrassed and has a thinner skin.

"Xiu Ming, you and Professor Qi Luoxing, are you...?"

Freya hesitated, vaguely guessing what had happened between the two, but without concrete evidence.

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly in agreement with Fulei's guess, then whispered in her ear to briefly explain what had happened in the principal's office that day.

Fulei's cheeks flushed, whether from Chen Xiuming's intimate gestures or from the "office party" he mentioned.

Brolo quietly pricked up her ears, seemingly trying to eavesdrop on Chen Xiuming and Fulei's whispers, but she could only hear fragmented words, which only made her more puzzled and curious.

Before long, the three of them walked to the professors' dormitory at the Magical Girl Academy.

Magical girls have always had a weak constitution, so much so that the difference between having or not having had sexual relations with Chen Xiuming is very obvious.

For example, at this moment, as they walked from the Shaniat flower shop to the professor's dormitory building, Brolo was already showing obvious signs of fatigue, while Volley was still calm and composed, without even breaking a sweat, as if she had just stepped out.

The enhancements brought by Chen Xiuming's sexual encounters with different girls are not exactly the same, but there will always be some similar enhancements, such as physical constitution and Honkai energy, at most the degree of enhancement will vary.

Although Freya and Chen Xiuming hadn't been intimate many times, thanks to the "explosive" boost she received from her first experience, her physique was far stronger than Brolo and the other magical girls, making things like walking from the flower shop to the professor's dormitory a breeze.

Exhausted from walking for too long, Brolo now had a perfectly legitimate reason to lean on Chen Xiuming.

Although Chen Xiuming's body had no smell, she could sense a strange fragrance that constantly attracted her.

—This is the allure of the Miracle Stone.

"Bolo, do you want to rest for a while?"

"You still need to wake Professor Qiluoxing up. I'll hold on a little longer and then rest in Professor Qiluoxing's dormitory for a while."

Brolo spoke with a slight breathlessness, but his gaze was fixed on Freya, as if he were deep in thought.

She wasn't stupid at all; on the contrary, she was quite clever. From the subtle clues she observed, she could guess that Fulei's changes must have originated from Chen Xiuming.

While Voller's physique was better than Brolo's before, it wasn't by much. It's impossible that she could have walked for so long without much reaction like she is now, leading Brolo to a perplexing speculation—

Having a relationship with Chen Xiuming will bring miraculous improvements, at least in terms of physical fitness.

"That's fine."

Chen Xiuming nodded, then picked up Brolo and quickly walked into the professors' dormitory building.

The petite Blolo was picked up by Chen Xiuming in a "princess carry," and her whole body seemed to shrink into Chen Xiuming's arms.

Brolo's cheek was pressed against Chen Xiuming's chest, and she could even clearly hear Chen Xiuming's heartbeat. Her cheeks flushed red, and she dared not look directly at Fulei's somewhat jealous gaze.

Feeling Chen Xiuming's aura enveloping her from all directions, her body temperature instantly rose, and even her usually calm thoughts became a jumbled mess.

Although Fulei's jealousy was partially aroused, she didn't say much, clinging to Chen Xiuming's clothes and following him closely.

Chapter 171 Qiluo Star: Since we're after excitement, let's go all the way.

At the entrance of Qiluoxing's dormitory.

Chen Xiuming put down Brolo, whose ears were flushed, then took out the key to Qiluoxing dormitory and quietly opened the door.

When he left not long ago, he made sure to take the key to the room so that he could easily come back and wake Qi Luoxing up later. Therefore, he would not be in an awkward situation of not being able to enter Qi Luoxing's dormitory.

Freya and Brolo followed closely behind into the professor's dormitory, curiously observing its layout; this was their first time entering the professor's dormitory.
