Flower Fairy: After transmigrating again, I became An'an's younger brother.

The waiting time felt exceptionally long.

The Ninth Prince sipped his tea absentmindedly, his gaze fixed on the black sphere of light in mid-air that enveloped his shadow.

Shadow Chun and Xia Tong were not surprised by this—after all, they had experienced it once before.

After finishing her snack, Shadow Chun threw the tissue she had used to wipe her mouth into the trash can and picked up the tablet from the coffee table.

She remembered how excited Xia Tong was when she played with this thing yesterday... So, how do you use this thing?

"Want to play this?"

Xia Tong noticed her gaze and leaned closer. "Open it like this, and then..."

After a simple demonstration, Shadow Chun's attention was captured by the content on the screen, and her fingertips slid across it with clumsy but focused attention.

Just then, the light from the black sphere gradually receded in mid-air, revealing the silhouette of Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old as the tide receded. At this moment, her appearance also changed due to her ascension.

Her hair was styled into a double bun in burgundy, with a plum blossom decoration on top; she wore an outfit with pink as the main color, with long burgundy ribbons hanging down, a pink short skirt, light pink stockings, and burgundy leather shoes, and the outfit was also decorated with plum blossom patterns; behind her were a pair of reddish-brown semi-transparent wings.

Her figure also changed from a slender and tall girl's figure to a cute and charming loli figure.

She has now risen from the shadow of the Plum Blossom Fairy King to the Shadow Plum Blossom Fairy King.

"Is this... what it feels like to be completely in reality?"

The Ninth Prince of Shadows looked down at his palm, a fleeting look of disbelief crossing his eyes, which then transformed into uncontrollable elation.

"They actually did it!"

Her gaze immediately locked onto Shadow Tsubaki, who was playing on her tablet.

Now she also knows why she couldn't beat Shadow Tsubaki before: it's because Shadow Tsubaki has already leveled up.

Now that she has risen from a shadow to the Shadow Flower Fairy Queen, she is ready to get her revenge.

Then--

Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old slammed his hand on the tea table, causing the teacups on the table to shake slightly.

"Hey! Stop playing with that stupid board!"

Her voice carried the joy of being promoted and the sharp edge of not giving up, while her loli figure exuded an undeniable strength.

"You were stronger than me before because you got the advantage of being promoted, but now I'm the Shadow Fairy King. This isn't over yet!"

An Yingchun looked up from the screen, glanced at her briefly, then looked down and started scrolling again: "Don't bother me, I'm busy."

Shadow Chun's attitude only fueled Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old's competitive spirit, and she raised her hand to condense a deep red energy ball.

"I was the one who was forced to defend myself just now."

The Ninth Prince of Shadows chuckled, "Now it's my turn."

Before she finished speaking, she threw the energy ball in her hand at Shadow Camellia.

Shadow Camellia, still engrossed in playing on her tablet, didn't even look up, casually swatting it away.

She then glanced at the Shadow Nine Thousand Years old, who was suspended in mid-air with a completely renewed aura, and looked down at the screen. In the end, she decided to put the tablet on the coffee table and carefully pushed it towards the center to avoid it being affected.

"What? Is that all you've got?"

Shadow Camellia took flight, a slight smile on her face, and continued to mock, "Your attacks are truly weak and ineffective. What use are attacks that can't even damage clothing?"

"you--"

Dark Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old was momentarily speechless at her words, then raised his hand and gathered power in it. A faint red light emanated from his palm, and small Dark Shadow Plum Blossoms swirled at his fingertips.

"Stop looking down on me!"

Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old let out a delicate shout, then flapped its wings and rushed to Shadow Chun's side.

At the same time, Shadow Chun reached out and precisely grabbed Shadow Nine Thousand Years's wrist. The force was not great, but it made the other party unable to move.

Then Shadow Chun flung her away. Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old barely managed to regain his balance in mid-air after being thrown into the air.

Damn it...

Looking at Shadow Chun's smug face, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old thought, "We're the same kind of beings, so why can't I beat her? In the Flower Codex, the difference in combat power between 'me' and Chun wasn't this big, was it?"

She was now pondering the reason. Now that they both had roughly the same amount of things, the problem must lie here.

Before the upgrade, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old could not feel the connection between him and Shadow Chun in Xia Tong, but after the upgrade, she could feel the faint dark aura in Xia Tong that originated from Shadow Chun—that was the guardian contract between him and Shadow Chun.

So forming a guardian contract can actually increase combat power?

Just as he was thinking this, the Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old's eyes lit up, and his gaze turned to Xia Tong—

At this moment, Xia Tong was still talking to the Ninth Prince beside her.

A few minutes ago, the Ninth Prince pointed at the Shadow Ninth Prince who had just come out and went to provoke Shadow Chun, and said, "Kid, aren't you worried that they'll go out and do evil?"

"Doing evil?"

Xia Tong thought for a moment, then asked the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Prince, would you go out and do bad things for no reason? Or do you have some... strange hobbies?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head.

"Do you have any camellias?"

Xia Tong then asked about the condition of the original Chun.

The Ninth Prince shook his head again.

"Phew—that's good."

Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief; now it was the Ninth Prince who was completely baffled.

"What you're saying doesn't seem to have anything to do with those shadows, does it?"

"How can it be okay?"

Xia Tong explained to the Ninth Prince, "As your shadow, she only has the opposite personality to you, but her memories are exactly the same as yours. Therefore, like you, she can distinguish between good and evil. However, because of her personality, she will make the opposite choices to you when faced with a situation."

The Ninth Prince gently stroked the rim of his cup with his fingertips: "But their power..."

"Is power itself inherently good or bad?"

Xia Tong glanced at her helplessly, "Just like being hit by dark magic will hurt you, but if you're hit by light magic, will it not hurt? You'll still get hurt if you're meant to be hurt."

"...Understood."

The Ninth Prince nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Tong then picked up his teacup and took a sip. As soon as he looked up, he met the eyes of the Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old.

Xia Tong: "What...?"

"Let's do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old immediately formed a guardian contract with Xia Tong, who was still wondering "why she was looking at me like that".

"?" ×3

The Nine Thousand Years Old looked on curiously as the same aura as that of the Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old flashed across Xia Tong's body; Xia Tong was stunned for a few seconds by her behavior; Shadow Chun frowned and stared at her.

After that, Shadow Nine Thousand Years thought he was invincible and rushed towards Shadow Chun, but was slapped by the other party and fell straight down.

Xia Tong instinctively reached out and caught the petite figure falling, then gently placed her on the sofa.

Upon realizing that his power was still inferior to that of Shadow Chun, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old immediately wilted, huddled on the sofa, and muttered to himself, "Why, why..."

Xia Tong looked down at her hands, feeling the contract on her body, and then gave up thinking about it. There was no difference between having one or two of these things.

After looking up and seeing Shadow Nine Thousand Years old like this, he poked Shadow Nine Thousand Years old on the shoulder and kindly reminded him: "You have only just been promoted and have not yet been able to fully adapt to your own magic and abilities."

After hearing what he said, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old as he looked at Shadow Chun, and then he stared intently at Shadow Chun.

On the other hand, An Ying Chun felt much more comfortable. She liked to see An Ying Jiu Qian Sui looking at her with a displeased expression, but she couldn't do anything about it. That expression was really delicious.

After that, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old turned his head to the side, after all, out of sight, out of mind.

"..."

Xia Tong swirled the teacup in his hand, looking at the two Shadow Flower Fairy Kings. He only hoped that they wouldn't resort to sabotage when they couldn't win.

At this moment, he noticed that the Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old's eyes were looking back at him, or more precisely, at the teacup in his hand. Xia Tong subconsciously said politely:

"What? Would you like some?"

"want!"

When Xia Tong put down her teacup and was about to pour her a cup, Shadow Nine Thousand Years flew over, picked it up with both hands, and gulped it down.

"?..."

Xia Tong looked at her speechlessly. That was mine.

However, Xia Tong then thought about it and decided to let it go, figuring she could just pour herself another glass if she wanted to drink.

"This is so delicious!"

After finishing the drink, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old's eyes lit up. Although "she" had drunk it in her memory, it was the memory of the original body, not her own.

Then, she flew excitedly to Xia Tong and said, "Another cup, please!"
