She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

Xu Ting disdainfully sensed the power of will within his body and said:

"How could I be the more suitable master in the eyes of the will?"

She didn't know why Yuanli liked her.

"Because you're a beautiful young girl?" the crow said.

Xu Ting rolled her eyes and retorted:

"Isn't Wu Qingshuang a beautiful young woman?"

Every magical girl is beautiful.

Wu Qingshuang's fluffy purple wavy hair was something Xu Ting greatly envied.

Despite the lightning surrounding Wu Qingshuang's body, her hair did not stand up due to the electric shock.

In contrast, Xu Ting's hair gets frizzy every morning after she wakes up. Although she could do combing her hair with her eyes closed, it would be better to avoid it.

After Xu Ting rejected it, the crow put forward a new point of view:

"Perhaps you possess some element that is favored by the power of will?"

"What elements?" Xu Ting pressed.

"I think you're the one who can become their mother, right?" the crow said earnestly.

Xu Ting was so enraged by the crow's fabricated story that he flew into a rage.

"How could someone as fierce as me possibly have maternal instincts!"

She gestured with her hands, explaining with a strong sense of conviction:

"True motherhood is the kind of gentle yet firm, all-encompassing nature that only a woman possesses!"

"If you make a mistake, she will gently point it out and help you correct it. Even if you have to do it yourself, she will watch over you with gentle eyes the whole time, giving you endless strength."

"Just like your sister?" the crow suddenly asked.

Xu Ting was shocked: "How did you know?"

Seeing the crow looking at him like he was an idiot, Xu Ting coughed awkwardly twice and then said:

"When I discover that someone has made a mistake, I will only be tough, tough and tough, and if necessary I will even use force."

"I don't have a gentle heart, nor am I good at empathizing with or comforting others."

"If I had to say, Yuanli would only see me as a strict father."

Xu Ting concluded her speech.

The crow's assessment of this was:

"I didn't expect you to be focused on this."

"I thought you'd just laugh at what I said."

Hearing this, Xu Ting snapped out of her daze, touched her head sheepishly, and then left the room.

After using the room, Xu Ting asked the unfortunate reporter to take refuge in the restaurant.

Now that the battle is over, Xu Ting can allow him to return to his normal journey.

Xu Ting led the reporter back to his room from the restaurant, told him to keep the day's events a secret, and then prepared to leave.

But the reporter quickly reached out to stop Xu Ting, straightened up, and said:

"I want to write news reports related to magical girls!"

Xu Ting glanced at the reporter in surprise.

She gave the order not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, but that order couldn't stop the reporter from saying such things.

This reporter is under the control of the Eye of Fear and should feel a deep sense of awe towards Xu Ting.

From the other party's perspective, Xu Ting, the guy who attacked, intimidated, and controlled him, would most likely not allow the reporter to write a report, and might even get angry and punish him for it.

But the reporter still blurted it out.

It seems they've decided to die.

Xu Ting was certainly not angry about such actions; the other party had been innocently dragged into it, and Xu Ting even felt a little apologetic towards them.

Therefore, she generously said:

"Yes, but you can only keep the manuscript in your head."

"You must obtain my order before you can write and publish it."

Wu Qingshuang saw Xu Ting's true face. If she traced the "Xu Ting of the Adorable Maid Cafe" and recklessly exposed the information, then Xu Ting would have to retaliate.

The proposed retaliatory method is to have the reporter publish the story of Wu Qingshuang and Earl Hall as news.

Xu Ting's identity was exposed to Tianyi Group, and he was at most hunted down by a third of their forces;

Once Earl Hall's identity is exposed to the Tianyi Group, the Tianyi Group will have to exert 97% of its strength.

Hopefully, the Blackwater Gang understands this principle and acts accordingly, avoiding a lose-lose situation with Xu Ting that would only benefit the Tianyi Group.

Xu Ting spent some time providing guidance to help reporters write news reports.

After the guidance session ended, the airship was almost at its final destination.

Xu Ting stepped out of the airship and looked around at the buildings belonging to "Airport One".

We've arrived in Shangcheng District.

The three districts of Hezhi City differ significantly in altitude.

The Lower City District is naturally the district with the lowest elevation.

The central district and the lower district are separated by a large river. The central district is located at the higher end of the terrain and has better public security and economic conditions than the lower district.

The upper city is in the sky.

Although twelve residential buildings support the foundation of the Upper City, what keeps this city in the sky alive is its super anti-gravity engine that works all the time.

It has been estimated that the electricity consumed to maintain the anti-gravity engine in the upper city for one day could power the lower city for a whole year.

This person was later arrested for spreading rumors.

Because of this incident, the internet has come to regard this inference as fact.

But Xu Ting thought this might actually be a rumor. The Upper City might not be flying because of an anti-gravity engine, but because of magic.

This is much more economical.

After wandering around Airport One for half an hour, Xu Ting finally found the right route and arrived at the ticket counter.

She had nowhere to rest in the upper town, so she had to buy another boat ticket to return to the lower town.

No matter how fresh the air or how beautiful the environment in Shangcheng District, it's not her home.

Tianyi Group harbors strong hostility towards her. The seemingly harmonious and peaceful Upper District is actually a battlefield fraught with danger!

Of course, the downtown area isn't much better either.

While Xu Ting was queuing to buy tickets, Mi Yan unexpectedly sent her a message.

"My informant in the Blackwater Gang suddenly lost contact."

Be careful about your information sources as well.

Miyan actually has an informant within the Blackwater Gang? What an incredibly resourceful noblewoman!

In response, Xu Ting stated:

"No need, my communication channels have been cut off."

Indeed, it was Xu Ting who personally ordered it to be cut off.

The reply from the mystery came quickly:

Do you need my help?

"The Blackwater Gang may be up to something big soon, so you and your father should be careful."

Mi Yan even considered that Xu Ting might be hunted down by the Blackwater Gang, and took the initiative to lend a helping hand.

Unfortunately, the pursuers had already been driven back by Xu Ting.

Therefore, Xu Ting declined the superstitious offer of assistance:

"I have my own ways of dealing with this."

"Besides, I've already prepared to 'treat' Gray Raven. Where is she now? I should be able to go to her tomorrow."

After condensing his magic core, Xu Ting had already caught up with Gray Raven's peak level.

The crow also gained Qi Li as its second contractor, acquiring the ability to strip the Gray Raven magical girl of her power.

Half a minute later, the mystery's reply came:

"After you left, Gray Raven's condition suddenly worsened, so I transferred her to the Upper City for treatment."

"Going to her place might cause some trouble."

"I need two days to prepare before I can help you smuggle yourself into the Upper City."

Bad news, the gray crow's condition has worsened.

Good news. She's in the Upper East Side.

Xu Ting decisively left the queue to buy tickets, leaving a gap behind her with the polite-looking guests. They only stepped forward to fill the gap after Xu Ting hadn't returned for several minutes.

"It's quite a coincidence, I'm in the Upper East Side right now."

As Xu Ting hurried towards the airport exit, he asked Mi Yan:

"Where is the gray crow now?"
