Do you think this world is serious?

During this time, Chen Xiuming led Xilin to stop for a while in front of the shops with strange signs and learned what those shops were.

— A potion shop or a store that sells potion ingredients.

"Potion..."

Chen Xiuming seemed to be deep in thought, and he had a vague guess in his heart, but due to the lack of information, he could not be sure of that guess for the time being.

"Brother Xiuming, what are magic potions...?"

"...I'm not quite sure."

Chen Xiuming gently shook his head: "Actually, this is also my first time entering this world."

"Huh? Then why did Brother Xiuming say 'home' is here?"

"Because my wife is here."

"Wife? Hmm..."

Xilin looked thoughtful, her cute brows furrowed, as if she didn't understand the meaning of "wife".

After a while, she finally found the meaning of "wife" in her past memories.

"Is Brother Xiuming already married?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming made a soft nasal sound, then continued, "I'll introduce you to three older sisters later."

"Uh-huh!"

Celine nodded emphatically, then her attention was quickly drawn to something she had never seen before.

Chen Xiuming's expression softened as he led Xilin toward something that interested her.

Before Chen Xiuming could take Xilin a few steps, a familiar girl's voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"...Brother-in-law? Is it brother-in-law?"

The girl speaking behind him seemed to lack confidence, her words filled with doubt and uncertainty.

From Chen Xiuming's back view alone, she could basically confirm his identity. However, the delicate and lovely Xilin, who looked like a porcelain doll, made her doubt her guess. After all, girls as exquisite as Xilin are very rare.

Compared to the girl's doubts and uncertainty, Chen Xiuming confirmed the girl's identity as soon as he heard her voice.

“It’s Maria…” Chen Xiuming turned to look at Maria standing behind him. “Why are you alone?”

Maria was wearing a cool summer outfit, yet she gave the impression of being completely covered up.

After confirming Chen Xiuming's identity, she was overjoyed and also genuinely relieved.

Whether it was her, Cecilia, or Angelia, they were all afraid that Chen Xiuming would encounter danger and die unexpectedly.

“Sister Cecilia and Angelia are in the flower shop. I’m running around every day because I need to find out about this world bubble.”

Maria looked at Xilin, who was hiding behind Cao Ling, and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, who is this girl?"

"This is Sirin, a gentle and kind 'little angel'."

Chen Xiuming stroked Xilin's head, then introduced her to Xilin: "This is Maria."

"Hello, Sister Maria~"

Xilin smiled innocently. Even though Chen Xiuming didn't explain in detail, she could guess that Maria would be one of the future "family members".

"Hello, Celine."

Maria returned the greeting, then squatted down in front of Celine and gently pinched Celine's soft cheek.

"Since you are the child my brother-in-law brought back, you will be my sister from now on."

"Mmm! Thank you, Maria!"

Celine nuzzled Maria's palm with her cheek, instantly making Maria feel as if she had been healed, and she couldn't help but smile gently.

"Come on! Sister Maria will take you to buy some delicious food."

Maria stood up and stroked Xilin's hair, mimicking Chen Xiuming's movements.

Xilin didn't know what it felt like to be patted on the head, but it felt quite nice, and she knew it was one of the ways to express "like".

"Let's go." Chen Xiuming took Xilin's hand again. "With your sister Maria here, you can buy whatever you want."

"Good~"

Celine responded obediently.

Although Chen Xiuming said she could buy whatever she wanted, she still didn't buy anything.

It wasn't that she didn't want anything, but simply that she didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Xiuming and Maria.

Celine grew up in poverty. Even though she never tried to earn money herself, she knew that money was hard to earn and that things that looked pretty and beautiful must be very expensive.

For her, the company of her "family" is more important than buying pretty and beautiful things.

Maria felt somewhat helpless, but also a little sorry for Celine because she was so sensible. In the end, she could only buy her all sorts of snacks and treats according to her own wishes.

Celine did not refuse, but instead smiled and thanked Maria.

"Maria, what were you planning to do before you met me and Sirin?"

"We're getting ready to go back to the flower shop. Is brother-in-law going back to the flower shop now?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Maria first pointed out the direction, then walked side by side with Chen Xiuming: "Brother-in-law, what happened to you before?"

"I'll tell you when we get back to the flower shop. If I tell you now, I'll have to tell Cecilia and Angelia again later, which is too much trouble."

"That's true."

Maria nodded in agreement, then asked, "Brother-in-law, do you need me to tell you about the situation with this world bubble?"

"Hmm, maybe I'll settle down in this world from now on."

This world is very stable, making it a good choice for settling down.

Once the etheric singularity of this world bubble is found, we can consider merging it with other world bubbles to further solidify and stabilize this world bubble, thereby reducing the possibility of it sinking into the quantum sea.

Maria began by recounting the experiences of the three sisters as they entered the World Bubble, and also shared the information they had gathered so far.

53. Magical Girl and the Demon King

The three Shaniat sisters had a rather uneventful life, simply running a flower shop together using their individual abilities, and inquiring about the world bubble. However, the information Maria had gathered so far had given Chen Xiuming quite a pleasant surprise.

Based solely on the word "potion," it was difficult for him to ascertain the situation of this world bubble. However, after Maria mentioned that "magical girl" culture was prevalent in this world bubble, he could basically confirm the situation of this world bubble.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the world bubble from the "Magical Girl" series.

Although there were chaotic times of war, the world is now at peace, as evidenced by the existence of academies that specialize in training magical girls.

At least for now, things are peaceful and stable.

The magical girls in this world pay homage to "Puella Magi Madoka Magica," a series Chen Xiuming read before his transmigration, and they share the tragic fate of "the dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself."

Since "magical girls" exist, there must also be corresponding enemies—"demon kings".

The "Demon King" is extremely powerful, and it often takes the most outstanding magical girl in the world burning her life force to destroy him.

However, after the magical girl burns her life force to destroy the "Demon King," she will become the new "Demon King."

However, very few magical girls know about this, and the "Demon King" doesn't appear very often.

The magical girls in this world are truly unbelievable—

For magical girls, as long as their souls are placed in a "container" and the souls do not dissipate, they will not truly die.

Even if the "container" that carries the soul is crushed into powder, as long as there are still people who remember magical girls, they will not disappear.

Although they may not be able to be resurrected as humans, they can at least exist for a long time in the form of a soul.

In addition, Chen Xiuming remembered that the headmistress of that magical girl academy was "Cecilia", and there was also "Shigure Kira" who served as a professor.

"...Life in this world would be very interesting."

Chen Xiuming murmured softly, filled with anticipation for the future.

Xilin is 13 years old now, which is the perfect age to start junior high school.

However, since she is the "Herrscher of the Void" and has never attended elementary school, it might not be appropriate for her to attend a regular junior high school. Instead, we could consider sending her to a magical girl academy.

The power of the "Herrscher of the Void" allows her to perfectly disguise herself as a "magical girl," and she will most likely be one of the top-tier magical girls.

As for the primary school curriculum, Chen Xiuming can take some time to study it, and then he can tutor Xilin.

"Brother-in-law, what's interesting?"

Maria heard Chen Xiuming's murmurs, but she couldn't make out the specific content. She only vaguely heard the words "life" and "interesting".

"It's nothing... I'm just looking forward to the future."

"That's it..."

Maria nodded gently, glancing frequently at Celine. She wanted to hold Celine's hand, but had to give up the idea because Celine's other hand was holding Anila.

When she reached a crossroads, she immediately spotted Angelia standing across the street waiting for the traffic light.

Angelia's blonde hair, tied in a high ponytail, was very eye-catching, especially under the sunlight, where it shone brightly.

At the same time, Angelia also saw Maria and Chen Xiuming, and her face instantly lit up with a joyful smile. She couldn't wait to cross the zebra crossing, but she paced anxiously in place because the traffic light hadn't turned green yet.

The moment the traffic light turned green, Angelia immediately ran to Maria and Chen Xiuming, first handing Maria the three cakes she was holding, and then excitedly hugging Cao Ling.

“Brother-in-law, you’re finally back!” Angelia affectionately rubbed Chen Xiuming’s cheek. “What have you been up to all this time? Why did it take you so long to come back? Maria, Cecilia, and I missed you so much.”

At the end, Angelia's tone became somewhat resentful.

Chen Xiuming released Xilin and gently patted Angelia's back: "It's a long story. Let's go back to the flower shop first, and then I'll tell you slowly."

"Good~"

Angelia responded obediently, then released Chen Xiuming, selectively ignoring Maria's somewhat dangerous gaze, and glanced back at the traffic light.

Seeing that the traffic light hadn't turned red yet, she thought for a moment, then quickly ran back to the other side of the street, leaving only her hurried words echoing in the ears of Chen Xiuming, Maria, and Xilin.
