Do you think this world is serious?

After everyone finished watching "Black Collapse: Qitian", the discussion between Principal Cecilia and Karen had ended, and they were waiting for Chen Xiuming and the others to go home.

After talking with the girls for a while, Chen Xiuming unanimously decided to go home first to find Principal Cecilia and the others.

The four magical girls, along with Sirin and Seele, arrived home first. They had already visited two tourist attractions without going to the movies.

After meeting Chen Xiuming, Xilin enthusiastically recounted her sights and experiences during her trip.

This was the first time Chen Xiuming had seen Xilin so happy since he sent her to the Magical Girl Academy.

After all, studying is often tedious and boring, and it's impossible for it to be as enjoyable as playing.

"Cirin, let's make the most of these few days and have some fun."

Chen Xiuming held down Xilin's hair and gently rubbed it a few times.

Xilin shook her head as she was being rubbed, making a nasal sound that sounded like a response but also like dissatisfaction.

After calming down the excited Celine, Chen Xiuming looked at the quiet and dignified headmistress Cecilia.

"Headmistress, how did your discussion go? Where are Kallen and Himeko?"

Karen and Himeko were not at home at the time, and their whereabouts were unknown.

"A preliminary agreement has been reached on the specific details of the exchange, but there may be considerable difficulties in implementing it in Canghai City."

Principal Cecilia sighed softly, then continued, "Kallen and Himeko have already gone to make preparations for the exchange and asked me to tell you to take good care of Theresa."

"That's it..."

Chen Xiuming nodded in realization.

Since Kallen and Himeko still have things to do, the matter of implanting the "stigmata" into Himeko can only be carried out at night when they rest.

Alaya consciousness has completed all the tasks assigned by Chen Xiuming. Whether it is "Holy Mark" or "Fusion Warrior", she has calculated the complete content.

After completing its "daily task" of tending to the various plants within the World Bubble, Alaya Consciousness sat on the beach in a daze for a while before continuing to expand the number of transcendental magic spells.

— Developing super-level magic is one of the few things that can be done to pass the time in the Alaya consciousness.

……

Rather than going out for fun, Principal Cecilia preferred to rest for a while, so she declined Chen Xiuming's invitation to go out.

On the contrary, Qi Luoxing enthusiastically joined Chen Xiuming and the others' group.

"Xiu Ming, this shouldn't count as the 'date that only belongs to the two of us' that you promised me before, right?"

Qi Luoxing looked around at the large group of girls, then tentatively asked Chen Xiuming.

Chen Xiuming hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "If you want this to be a 'date just for the two of us,' then that's not impossible..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Luoxing immediately shook her head vigorously, refusing repeatedly, "No, no, this clearly can't be a 'date just for the two of us'!"

"I was just kidding."

Chen Xiuming chuckled and pinched Qi Luoxing's cheeks, gently pulling them apart, making Qi Luoxing's complaints indistinct.

Realizing that complaining was ineffective, Qiluoxing turned to a slight baring of her teeth, seemingly trying to appear fierce, but it only made her look rather naive.

"Let's go—let's make the most of these few days and have a good time."

Chen Xiuming took out the "travel guide" written by Angela and prepared to tour Canghai City according to the "travel guide".

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong walked quietly to Chen Xiuming's side and asked softly, "Xiuming, when are you taking me to the amusement park?"

Chen Xiuming thought for a moment and replied, "Let me take you to the amusement park this evening—it will just be the two of us, and there won't be anyone else."

Worried that Yuexia Chuyong might mistakenly think that everyone was going together, Chen Xiuming added a special explanation.

Upon hearing this, Yuexia Chuyong, who had been feeling down, immediately beamed with joy and eagerly awaited the arrival of evening.

Cecilia smiled and glanced at Moonlit Embrace a few times, then lowered her voice and asked, "Darling, do you need our help?"

Although she believed in Chen Xiuming's charm, she felt that having someone help her would make the relationship develop faster.

Chen Xiuming shook his head and refused, saying, "There's no need, we can take it slowly."

"Well, it's up to you."

Cecilia took Chen Xiuming's arm and stopped talking about the topic. She hummed an unknown tune happily as she strolled through the bustling Canghai City with Chen Xiuming and the girls.

Although it wasn't a private getaway for just the two of them, traveling together as a group created a warm and cozy "family trip" atmosphere.

Cecilia really enjoyed the warm and cozy atmosphere.

Chapter 177 A Vow and a Kiss Under the Moon.

That night.

The girls all went home to rest, leaving only Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong behind. Instead, they headed towards the amusement park, which was still open.

Only in such solitude could Chu Xiong muster the courage to take Chen Xiuming's arm and maintain a relatively intimate posture.

"Xiu Ming, are all those... 'sisters' your 'wives'?"

Unsure of how to address Cecilia and the other girls, the girls under the moonlight began to collectively refer to them as "older sister."

"Only Cecilia is my 'wife,' everyone else... is my partner."

Among the "sisters" mentioned by Moonlit Embrace, only Vita and Chen Xiuming are not in a romantic relationship. However, such a minor matter is not worth specifically correcting for any oversight in Moonlit Embrace's words.

Is there a difference between a partner and a wife?

Under the moonlight, Chu Xiong's face showed confusion.

Chen Xiuming pondered for a second or two, organized his thoughts, and then replied, "Although there isn't a huge difference, a 'wife' is someone who has had a formal wedding ceremony, while a partner is someone who hasn't had a wedding ceremony yet."

"That……"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong seemed lost in thought, then asked casually, "Can I also become Xiu Ming's 'wife'?"

A moonlit embrace is easy to satisfy, yet it can also be incredibly greedy.

Mingming would be perfectly content to be Chen Xiuming's "partner," but she couldn't help but want more, greedily desiring to become Chen Xiuming's "wife" like Cecilia.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuming fell into deep thought, but not because of his "greedy wish" for the moonlit embrace.

Or perhaps, it's not entirely because of that "greed" of being embraced under the moon.

Chen Xiuming would definitely hold a wedding for any of his partners in the future, but it could never be as formal or unique as Cecilia's.

The girls would greedily want to become his wife, and he would also greedily want to marry them all.

However, he cannot hold a grand wedding for the girls until the magical girl world becomes a complete world.

Seeing Chen Xiuming remain silent and hesitant, Chu Xiong's feelings under the moonlight shifted from nervousness to trepidation, and then from trepidation to disappointment. She had come to believe that Chen Xiuming would reject her.

Then, Chen Xiuming noticed Yuexia Chuyong's dejected mood, so he gently patted her right hand that was holding his arm, pulling her back to reality.

"Of course, but the wedding may have to wait until later—I have more important things to do."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiuming, fearing that Yuexia Chuyong would misunderstand again, immediately explained about the fusion of the world bubble.

Seeing Chen Xiuming's nervous expression as he hurriedly explained, Yuexia Chuyong's mood instantly brightened, and even her steps became much lighter.

"It's okay~"

A joyful smile blossomed on her face as they embraced under the moonlight. "Xiu Ming, I will always wait for you—in human terms, that's 'companionship is the longest confession of love'~"

Under the moonlight, Chu Rong uttered some corny pickup lines she'd picked up from who-knows-where, but they were quite effective.

Sweet nothings spoken by women, whether or not they are "corny pick-up lines," often have a significant impact.

In particular, her almost unreserved display of her sincere heart to Chen Xiuming during their moonlit embrace made her corny pickup lines even more irresistible.

"...Where did you learn all this?"

"Well……"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "I learned all this online... Is that inappropriate?"

"It's not that it's inappropriate, but rather..."

Chen Xiuming scratched his cheek and hesitated before explaining, "These sweet nothings are outdated."

“Eh, eh?!”

Yuexia Chuyong was stunned for a moment, then two red blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks, and she stammered, "Xiu Ming, you, you quickly forget what I just said! That was just your hallucination... Yes, that was just your hallucination!"

"Are you trying to make me forget about the wedding vows? Does Theresa not want to marry me?"

Chen Xiuming chuckled and joked.

Upon hearing this, Yuexia Chuyong quickly explained, "No, no! I just, I just..."

Realizing that she was likely to make things worse by explaining, Yuexia Chuyong could only stomp her foot in frustration, looking quite exasperated.

"Xiu Ming, you, you're so bad! You're such a villain!"

The angry voice of Chu Xiong under the moon echoed endlessly, shattering the silence of the night.

Chen Xiuming chuckled softly, then took Yuexia Chuyong's hand and walked into the amusement park.

Theresa, what would you like to play first?

"I want to go ride the Ferris wheel with you first!"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong gazed at the giant Ferris wheel shimmering with colorful lights. Her crimson eyes were filled with longing and yearning for beautiful love. "Because Xiu Ming, you said that if couples kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel, it means that their love will never be separated. Although we are not a couple, we should be even closer than a couple."

"Okay, let's go ride the Ferris wheel first."

"Uh-huh!"

Under the moonlight, they embraced with joyful smiles, already fantasizing about kissing at the top of a Ferris wheel.

Since it was already night, there weren't many tourists in the amusement park, making the normally bustling park very quiet and even somewhat eerie.

The light strips pasted on various amusement facilities shimmer with colorful lights, weaving a dazzling scene resembling light pollution. When mixed with the desolate scene with few people, it can't help but evoke a sense of unease that is a little unsettling.

However, the joyful and ambiguous atmosphere between Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong subtly diminished the eerie feeling.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong took Chen Xiuming's hand and led him into the empty cockpit. Then she closed the door and sat on the same side as Chen Xiuming, selectively ignoring the slight tilt of the cockpit caused by the two of them sitting on the same side.

The rather cramped cabin was quiet. Chen Xiuming and Yuexia Chuyong could not only smell each other's scent, but also faintly hear each other's heartbeats.
