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

Afterwards, Xia Tong, Xia An'an, and Qian Han sat on a bench by the roadside to discuss what to do next.

Xia Tong sat on the far left of the bench, relaxed, with her legs crossed.

Xia An'an stood close to him, and now she had deactivated her transformation, her clothes returning to their school uniform.

Qian Han sat on the far right, her hands folded on her knees, her gaze gently falling on An An beside her, and asked softly:

"What should we do next?"

"I……"

Xia An'an took a deep breath, straightened her back, and tried to appear more reliable. "We have to find out the name of the Peach Blossom Fairy King! We can't give up like this! Shan Shan's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and the Peach Blossom Fairy King is still there..."

"Shanshan's matter has been resolved."

Xia Tong's voice interrupted her sister's increasingly impassioned declaration.

"Eh?"

Xia An'an was taken aback. She blinked and looked at her younger brother, her face full of confusion.

"I met her on my way to Andromeda Park."

Xia Tong briefly recounted what happened, "She has recovered now and has gone home to wait for her parents."

"R-Really?!"

Xia An'an's eyes lit up instantly. She grabbed Xia Tong's arm. "Shanshan's alright? That's great! She must have been terrified... But it's so wonderful that she's recovered!"

Qian Han breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle smile spreading across her face: "That's good. Seeing her like that before really worried me."

"etc!"

Xia An'an suddenly stopped shaking her younger brother's arm. She narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to stare at Xia Tong's face, and asked, "Xiao Tong, how did you solve it?"

"It was that friend of yours who you just saw who helped you."

Xia Tong let her sister hold her arm.

"The 'friend' I just saw?"

Xia An'an blinked, then realized, "You mean that Hong Yu?"

The image of the figure in a deep purple gothic dress floating behind her brother's left just now flashed through her mind.

When she greeted Shadow Red Rain earlier, although he didn't disappear like the other elf king in crimson clothes, his reaction was certainly not enthusiastic.

She nodded slightly, then kept holding onto her younger brother's shoulder.

but……

"She's really amazing that she was able to help Shanshan with her problem."

Xia An'an said earnestly, "Although she seems a bit...unapproachable, since she's willing to help, she must be a good fairy! By the way, are they both Flower Fairy Kings who need to be tamed?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tong gently shook her head.

"No, they are not the guardian spirit kings of the Flower Codex, so there's no need to think about subduing them."

"Is that so..."

Xia An'an scratched her head. Although she was a little confused, her brother was so certain that she didn't ask any further questions.

Since Xiaotong says they're friends, then they're friends.

Then, she patted Xia Tong on the shoulder, her tone carrying the pride unique to an older sister:

"However, I'm also very happy for you, Xiaotong, that you've made such amazing friends!"

"Um."

Xia Tong nodded. Although An Ying Hong Yu's definition of "friend" might be different from others, she was indeed impeccable in terms of "willingness to help".

Xia An'an's smile brightened even more after gaining her younger brother's approval.

"Now the only problem left is the Peach Blossom Fairy King!"

She released her grip on Xia Tong's arm, leaned back against the bench, and looked up at the sky. "But I still don't know her name..."

At this point, Xia An'an's voice trailed off again.

She remembered how Qian Han was hurt because of her mistake.

Ann...

When Qian Han saw Xia An'an's sad and self-blaming appearance, she reached out and gently placed her hand on Xia An'an's hand, which was twisting the hem of her skirt.

I must help An'an.

As the thought crossed her mind, Qianhan realized that her grandfather had collected many books, and perhaps she could find some helpful information in them.

Xia Tong sat beside her, watching her sister's dejected look, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Sister, we already know the name of the Peach Blossom Fairy King."

"ah?!"

Xia An'an sat bolt upright, her eyes wide. "You already know? Xiao Tong, how did you know?!"

Qian Han blinked in surprise, her gaze falling on Xia Tong.

"Because Shanshan suddenly grew up, it was because the Peach Blossom Fairy King granted her wish."

Xia Tong explained, "So at that time I was thinking, if I made a wish to her and wanted to know her name, would she tell me?"

"And then what?"

Xia An'an leaned closer, her eyes sparkling, her face practically screaming "Tell me, tell me!"

"Then she told me."

Xia Tong shrugged. "Her name is Hong Yu."

"You can do that?"

Xia An'an stared wide-eyed at her younger brother in disbelief.

Xia Tong nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Yes, that's called making good use of the rules."

"Okay, now I finally know her name!"

Xia An'an clenched her fist, jumped to her feet, full of enthusiasm, "This time I'm definitely going to win her over!"

Then, Xia An'an suddenly realized something—

Wait a minute, Red Rain? The elf from before was also named Red Rain, is it just a coincidence?

Since there are so many people on Earth, it's perfectly normal for them to share the same name. Besides, they look completely different and have vastly different personalities.

Yes, that should be it.

"An'an?"

Qian Han's voice came from the side, tinged with worry, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Huh? No, it's nothing!"

Xia An'an snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand.

She looked at Qian Han, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Qian Han, Xiao Tong and I still need to go to the peach tree. Your injury..."

"It's all over now."

Qian Han gently shook her head, raised her previously injured arm and waved it in front of An An, then flexed her knees, her smile gentle yet earnest.

"Thanks to you, An'an, and Xiaotong, it doesn't hurt at all now."

Xia An'an opened her mouth, wanting to say something like "but it would be very dangerous," but when she saw Qian Han's clear and firm eyes, she swallowed those words back.

"Then...then you must stay close to me and Xiaotong! If anything seems wrong, just back away, okay?"

"Okay, I promise I won't cause any trouble."

Qian Han smiled, her eyes crinkling with a playful yet reassuring expression.

Xia Tong stood up from the bench and gently patted her sister's shoulder.

"Don't worry, sis, if we stay a little further away, nothing will happen."

"Um!"

Xia An'an nodded vigorously, then extended her hand to Qian Han, "Let's go!"

Qian Han smiled, took her hand, and stood up.

Afterwards, the three of them walked along the park path back towards the peach tree.

At this moment, the peach tree on the other side—

Hongyu was sitting on a low branch, swinging her legs listlessly.

She looked down at the exquisite peach blossom bracelet on her wrist, shook it gently, and then sighed.

I wonder how that girl is doing now.

The human named Xia Tong made that "strange" wish, gave her a gift, and even said "thank you".

She suddenly felt like laughing, but also like crying.

After all, she had lived so long and had never been thanked so sincerely before.

As a result, she got so happy that she forgot the purpose of their visit.

But they'll probably come back again...

Hongyu raised her head and looked into the distance, her pink eyes filled with a hint of expectation that she herself was unaware of.

Just then, she saw several people walking towards her.

It was them—the human boy named Xia Tong, accompanied by the flower fairy magician from before, and that… ordinary human girl.

Hongyu blinked and subconsciously sat up straight.

She glanced down at the bracelet on her wrist and pursed her lips.

Then, she flapped her wings, flew down from the branch, and hovered in front of Xia An'an.

"You're here again."

Hongyu's voice was clear and melodious, and it even carried a little bit of expectation that she herself was unaware of.

Xia An'an was startled by the sudden greeting.

"Huh? I, I..."

She stammered, completely unprepared for the Peach Blossom Fairy King to fly right up to her.

But quickly, she raised her hand and patted her face, trying to calm herself down, and said seriously:

"Red Rain, you are a good elf."

Hongyu blinked; she hadn't expected to hear such an opening.

"Your intention to fulfill other people's wishes is good, but you've gone a bit too far."

Xia An paused for a moment, then, remembering Shan Shan's terrified expression, her voice tinged with heartache:

"What Shanshan really wants is her parents' care and companionship, not to actually become an adult."

Hongyu lowered her head, looked at the peach blossom bracelet on her wrist, and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, she looked up, a hint of apology in her pink eyes.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to fulfill everyone's wishes and make everyone happy..."

Xia An'an was stunned; she had never expected Hong Yu to react this way.

"Actually, it can't be said to be your fault!"

She quickly waved her hand, explaining somewhat flusteredly, "After all, you meant well, Xiaotong, right?"

Xia An'an then turned to look at Xia Tong.

"Okay, Hongyu, when you grant other people's wishes in the future, you can reduce the force a little. Don't use too much force."

Xia Tong nodded.

Hongyu's gaze shifted between the two, before being drawn to Xia An'an's voice.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Xia An'an took a deep breath and continued:

"Red Rain, I need to collect the scattered Flower Fairy Kings to rebuild the Flower Codex, so I must subdue you."

Hongyu looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded gently.

Xia An'an's eyes lit up, thinking she had agreed, and she was about to take out her essence to transform—

"Well... however, the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

Hongyu suddenly spoke, her tone both playful and earnest.

She flew further and higher, hovering in mid-air, looking down at Xia An'an.

"Flower Fairy Magician, let me see your resolve."

Hongyu raised her hand and conjured a pink vine from her fingertips.

"If you truly deserve my trust, then show me your resolve."

Xia Tong, who was standing nearby, lit up when she saw this.

"Hmm? Has it come to the much-anticipated battle?"

Xia An'an was taken aback, then clenched her fist, nodded vigorously in agreement, and her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

"good!"

Xia Tong raised an eyebrow as she watched Xia An'an rubbing her hands together in anticipation.

Hmm? Why does my sister seem so excited all of a sudden?

But whatever, we have the resources to back her up anyway.

Then he put his hands in his pockets and lightly touched the two cards with his fingertips.

"Tsubaki, Kurenai, please take care of me if anything unexpected happens later."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a displeased thought returned:

"I'm not going to help that nasty guy."

The thoughts of Shadow Chun came through, carrying her usual arrogance and aloofness. Xia Tong could even imagine her queenly posture with her arms crossed and her chin slightly raised.

"Alright then, Tsubaki, you just rest and watch from the side."

Meanwhile, Shadow Red Rain's response also arrived.

"OK."

Her answer was simple and direct, even carrying a pure joy.

"I'm happy to be able to help my good friend."

Xia Tong was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly in her heart.

Actually, he's the worst at dealing with this kind of person. This kind of unreserved trust and reliance always gives him a... indescribable feeling.

He paused for a second, then softly "said":

"Yes, thank you, Hongyu."

In his pocket, the Shadow Red Rain card glowed slightly, responding to his gratitude with a warm, gentle vibration.

Then, Xia Tong began to make plans.

One isn't enough; I still have...

He touched another thing in his pocket—the plum blossom pendant that the Ninth Prince had given him.

The Ninth Prince is sleeping in here now.

Because the plum blossoms have finished blooming, she can no longer draw energy from the flowers, so she has fallen into a deep sleep, or in other words, entered an energy-saving mode.

Xia Tong held the pendant, lost in thought.

I wonder if the magic I'm infusing into her will replenish it?

As soon as the idea came to him, he decided to give it a try.

He then channeled his magical power and carefully poured it into the plum blossom pendant.

The pendant glowed faintly, and then a drowsy thought emanated from it:

"Hmm...?"

There is a play.

Xia Tong raised an eyebrow and then increased the pressure.

As magic continued to flow in, the pendant's light gradually stabilized, and the intent began to become clearer and more active.

Then, a familiar voice rang in Xia Tong's mind, carrying the languor and confusion of someone just waking up:

"Child……?"

The Ninth Prince successfully regained consciousness.

Before Xia Tong could respond, she felt the thought suddenly stop.

"Um?!"

The Ninth Prince's tone was clearly tinged with surprise.

The aura emanating from this person... could it be the Shadow Peach Blossom Elf King, Hongyu?

Her thoughts swept over the Shadow Red Rain cards beside her, with a bewildered look on her face, as if to say, "I just woke up and you're showing me this."

Then she paused again.

Wait! Did the child give me the magic that woke me up?

That's not right. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be me, the contracted spirit, providing magic and power to the contractor?

The Ninth Prince paused for two seconds, then asked, with a puzzled expression, "Am I still dreaming?"

"Child, what's going on?"

Then, Xia Tong briefly explained what had happened to her.
