Magical Girl Fan Bingbing

The meeting place sent by Moonlight was not the art exchange club previously used as a cover, but a more discreet villa located at the foot of the mountain.

Despite its small size, its level of luxury is still breathtaking.

As Jiang Ran stood at the villa's entrance and looked inside, she couldn't help but wonder who the financial backer of the Demonic Cultivator Association really was.

Today, she was still dressed in the same youthful college girl outfit as before, a style that was completely out of place in this old-fashioned villa.

Moonlight and Sirius were already standing at the door to greet us. Today, the two of them had changed into more formal dark suits and had their hair carefully styled, clearly making full preparations for the level of formality required for the president to meet guests.

"Senior, you've arrived." Moonlight stepped forward, her smile carrying a hint of nervousness that Jiang Ran could detect. "The president is in the lobby, please follow me."

"Um."

Jiang Ran followed the two people through the gate.

The entryway is covered with a large, dark carpet with no discernible texture. Stepping on it makes almost no echo. Light shines down from hidden sources, giving the entire villa a museum-like tranquility.

The lobby was even more luxurious than the corridors, with ceilings three or four stories high. A huge crystal chandelier hung from the open ceiling, refracting a halo of light like glass. A huge painting hung on the main wall directly in front, almost taking up an entire wall.

In front of the painting stands a tall figure with his back to the viewer.

The red halter dress cascaded from her shoulders to her ankles, revealing a back so fair it almost glowed. Her long, fiery red hair, highlighted with gradient dyes, was styled into a long braid that hung down her back like a winding, burning flame.

The figure seemed completely absorbed in the painting, showing no reaction to the footsteps behind him.

Jiang Ran's gaze followed the figure's back as it rose, landing on the enormous painting, her pupils contracting slightly.

The tall figure turned her head, and when she saw Jiang Ran standing in the center of the hall, a smile of surprise, as if she had known him for many years, instantly bloomed on her beautiful face.

"Ah, it's Senior Disaster Lord."

She walked quickly over, her steps as light as if she were walking on clouds, her high heels making no sound on the thick carpet.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and the two huge, snow-white, soft mounds of flesh, barely concealed by the dress, almost pressed against Jiang Ran's face.

Jiang Ran subconsciously took a half step back.

The other party seemed not to notice Jiang Ran's subtle movements, or even if they did, they didn't care at all. They still warmly invited Jiang Ran to sit down on the sofa in the center of the hall, and at the same time turned around and waved to the door.

"Serve tea to the senior."

Higanbana sat down opposite Jiang Ran, her long legs naturally crossed, her posture elegant. "Senior, you can call me Higanbana."

She introduced herself with a smile, her tone conveying just the right amount of friendliness.

Jiang Ran nodded, but did not reply immediately. Instead, she took advantage of the brief moment to carefully observe the other person.

The other shore flower was wearing a fiery red deep V halter dress. She seemed very confident in her figure. Not only was her back completely uncovered, but the V-shaped opening in her chest almost reached her flat and firm abdomen, exposing a large area of ​​fair and smooth skin. Her two huge, soft breasts also revealed their full breasts.

Her long, fiery red hair, highlighted with an ombre effect, was styled into a long braid that hung down her back, the ends of which just barely covered her buttocks, giving her a deadly allure.

However, Jiang Ran's focus was on that face. After searching through her memories, Jiang Ran was certain that she really didn't have any impression of the other shore flower.

Unless the other party also uses cognitive filtering magic to interfere.

While Jiang Ran was observing the other party, the other shore flower was also secretly observing Jiang Ran's face. Unfortunately, neither of them could figure out anything.

Jiang Ran only "deactivated" her transformation state in front of her closest comrades. With the addition of cognitive filters, it was virtually impossible for anyone to recognize her current face.

Moonlight and Sirius brought in two cups of hot tea. After placing the cups in front of them, the two young men bowed in unison and then tactfully withdrew, gently closing the door to the hall behind them.

Now, only Jiang Ran and Bi'an Hua remain in the entire hall.

The other shore flower spoke slowly and deliberately: "I am very pleased that you have honored me with your presence, senior."

"Moonlight and Sirius conveyed to me the complete 'two-step' plan that you proposed last time, and after listening to it, I really understood everything."

"I believe that my senior is the soulmate I have been searching for all along."

Jiang Ran picked up her teacup, took a sip, and didn't reply.

"The Demonic Cultivation Society is still very weak, but I believe that with your participation, senior, we can definitely make it bigger and stronger." The body of the other shore flower leaned forward slightly, and the two huge soft mounds on her chest also made a breathtaking shift. "I am willing to share the power of the Demonic Cultivation Society with you, senior. As long as the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to achieve our common ultimate goal."

"The ultimate goal?" Jiang Ran put down her teacup and asked calmly.

"We will rebuild the Magical Girl Alliance!" Higanbana clenched her fists. "The Ten-Seat Council is nothing but a thief who stole the fruits of victory from back then. We will reclaim the glory that belongs to the Magical Girl Alliance!"

The hall was silent for a few seconds.

Jiang Ran looked down at the few tea leaves still swirling in the cup and shook her head: "The Magical Girl Alliance has disbanded; there's no possibility of it being revived."

The smile that had been blooming on the face of the red spider lily suddenly froze.

She stared at Jiang Ran for several seconds, as if she thought she had misheard, or that Jiang Ran was joking.

"Senior...why would you think that?" Her voice was noticeably different. "You were from the Demon Alliance era, right? Anyone who personally experienced that time could never forget it..."

"It is precisely because we have not forgotten that we say the Demon Alliance cannot be resurrected."

Jiang Ran's tone remained calm, but every word seemed to pierce the heart of the other shore flower like a sharp blade.

"But……"

The other shore flower's expression grew increasingly grim. "It was clearly you, senior, who personally proposed the 'two-step' plan, teaching us how to make the Demon Cultivation Association bigger and stronger, how to gain public support, how to navigate parliamentary struggles...aren't all of these paving the way for rebuilding the Demon Alliance?"

"Why are you saying now that it can't be revived?"

Seemingly because her ideals had been rejected, the Spider Lily's emotions spiraled out of control. She suddenly stood up, pointed at the painting in the hall, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior, please look at this painting. Have you forgotten this history as well?"

"For the past twenty years, the ten-seat parliament has been systematically erasing this history, and forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal!"

"Shouldn't we let it see the light of day again?!"

Jiang Ran was gently pulled by the other shore flower to the front of the painting. She looked up and could tell at a glance that the painting was indeed the work of a master.

The composition, brushstrokes, and handling of light and shadow—every aspect demonstrates masterful skill. Even someone like Jiang Ran, who doesn't know much about painting, can feel the overwhelming sense of tragedy and desolation emanating from the canvas.

The main subject of the image is five tiny human figures shrouded in light, soaring into the sky with a resolute attitude akin to moths drawn to a flame, directly confronting the enormous serpent shadow that occupies most of the image.

The serpentine shadow coiled in the clouds, its scales covering half the sky, its open mouth large enough to swallow the entire city beneath its feet.

The five figures appeared as insignificant as five specks of dust before the snake's shadow.

This painting is so well done that the artist has even captured seven or eight tenths of the oppressive atmosphere of the battlefield, where the air itself seemed to tremble, through color and composition.

Unfortunately, the person who painted this picture did not see it with their own eyes, and therefore made an undeniable mistake—the shadow of the snake that coiled around half the sky was painted black.

As for why Jiang Ran knew the artist had made a mistake, the reason is actually quite simple.

The painting is titled: "The World Snake Battle - The Five Most Correct People".
