My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

What?!

Lin Ruoyu looked completely bewildered. How did a class reunion turn into a funeral so quickly?

Typing was too slow, so she hesitated for a moment before dialing the number.

"What happened?" she asked immediately as soon as Tang Ming's voice rang out.

Tang Ming paused for a moment, and seeing that she didn't mention anything else, he briefly explained, "Jiang He just contacted me about that Pan Xiwen..."

Pan Xiwen was Tang Ming's classmate. She was unintentionally caught up in the calamity of the Void Beasts a couple of days ago and was seriously injured and infected. In addition, she had a chronic illness and had never looked very healthy in class. Unfortunately, she couldn't withstand it this time.

Jiang He had originally planned to attend a class reunion, but after some hesitation, his family informed him, as the organizer, that he could not come. The funeral would be held this afternoon, and the body would be sent directly to the crematorium.

"This...the funeral is so soon?" Lin Ruoyu didn't know how to react for a moment. She hardly knew Pan Xiwen. Perhaps she had seen him at some classmate reunions. After holding her breath for a while, she could only ask casually.

"It's very fast. People are used to death these days, and the authorities don't have time to care too much. Besides, the funeral home is fully booked. Jiang He said that the spot for Friday was reserved. If it doesn't work out, it will have to be delayed for a month. In that case, we can only cremate first... and we won't be able to see the body."

"This is too... fast." Lin Ruoyu didn't know what to say. "By the way, can't even a wizard save her? Has any healing magic been used?"

"Lin Ruoyu..." Tang Ming sighed. "There are only a little over a hundred official wizards in the city, not to mention professional healing wizards. How could an ordinary family like Pan Xiwen afford one? Besides, she left so quickly that her family didn't even have time to make connections. If I knew, I could have asked the hospital if they had any experts in this field."

Tang Ming and Pan Xiwen weren't close, but they were classmates and lived in adjacent dorm rooms, so they would visit each other and chat from time to time. Although accidents were common in the city and no one knew what the next day would bring, hearing news of deaths around them still left them with mixed feelings.

"Jiang He said he's already organized the event, so why don't we all go to the funeral, see each other one last time? It'll only be an hour, then we can have a meal together afterwards," Tang Ming said.

"I...you know I'm not your classmate," Lin Ruoyu said hesitantly.

"You know Jiang He and Xiao Zixuan, right? They had agreed to go, but suddenly they don't because of the funeral... That's not a good idea."

Tang Ming could sense the other person's hesitation and embarrassment, so he offered his advice directly.

"That's really... impolite." Lin Ruoyu choked for a moment. After the argument, she really didn't want to attend the class reunion with Tang Ming "affectionately," but the situation was different now. Her sudden refusal would make things difficult for Tang Ming in front of his friends.

As for whether she's a classmate or not, that's just an excuse. How could other people not recognize her?

"Is it difficult to ask for leave? Or do you not really want to go?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Ming asked again.

"It's okay, I'll just talk to the boss. It's easy to get people to come on Friday."

"That's good. The timing was indeed awkward. Sorry." Tang Ming scratched his head.

"Why are you being so polite? It makes us feel so distant... See you later, send me the address." Lin Ruoyu felt a little awkward, so she quickly finished speaking and hung up the phone.

As Xingyu floated to their side, Ye Jingjing was already using the new spell she had "written" to enchant the medium.

Yes, after mastering the [Summoning Spell], Ye Jingjing decided to take the path of [Enchantment Spell], which would amplify the summoned familiars, the Taunting Bats, making the effect twice as good with half the effort.

During the day at the base, Yui accessed the magic tome containing countless spell analyses. With Xunfeng's hands-on guidance, Ye Jingjing successfully mastered her own spell. Now she's putting it into practice, enchanting the border beam cannon.

As the spell unfolded, the inscriptions transformed into a ball of flame in the air, enveloping the beam cannon without damaging the beam device.

The next moment, the beam cannon emitted a white light, and a magical beam driven by a medium flew towards some lone, wandering Void Beasts within sight.

What was originally an ordinary incandescent beam of light was transformed into a blazing flame with a red exterior and a purple interior under Ye Jingjing's [Enchanted Magic Formula]. It pierced the air, leaving trails of black smoke, and instantly struck the virtual beast. The raging flames engulfed the entire black crystal armor. No matter how the virtual beast ran and twisted, it was eventually burned to the point of near death, with only a breath left.

"That's fantastic! The beam cannon, which originally only dealt piercing damage and wasted a lot of magic power, can now, after being enchanted, burn all the magic power onto the void beast. If we draw more magic power, we can destroy it in one shot! Fantastic, fantastic!"

Following the fine tradition of good teachers, Qiang Hong immediately gave Ye Jingjing a thumbs-up and encouragement, praising her.

"The effect is indeed quite good, but the black smoke in the air indicates that the spell wasn't condensed enough and some of the magic power burned off along the way. You can wrap a barrier around the flame path and set a time to start casting..."

Wushao didn't continue praising him, but instead gave a serious evaluation, which earned him a glare from Qianghong.

"Hmm! I... I know the problem. I'll try again." Ye Jingjing's face showed a mixture of joy and shyness.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You don't need to shoulder the burden yet... Xingyu?"

After patting her head, Wu Shao raised an eyebrow at Xing Yu, who had landed beside him, with a question in his eyes.

Lin Ruoyu checked the time and said, "I have to leave later. I'll leave the rest of the tasks to you all."

"Okay!" The group looked at each other and gave each other an OK sign.

Lin Ruoyu charged the main system in several directions with magic power, then handed over the rest to her teammates before leaving.

Before leaving, she instructed, "Keep an eye out for any traces of the cult. Everyone should check the locations where traces appear together. Don't split up or get separated..."

"Sister Xingyu, we understand! Don't worry, we know what happened to the Calabash Brothers when they saved Grandpa, don't we?" Qiang Hong obediently hugged Xingyu's arm, her slightly thin figure gently rubbing against her.

The elf Yui, who always "resides" on her red-haired head, has disappeared again. When asked, she says she's looking for a new magical girl candidate, since she doesn't want to do patrol and inspection work with them.

"I'm at the door... Where are you?" Lin Ruoyu texted.

"I saw you, so I turned around," Tang Ming replied.

Lin Ruoyu turned her head, and Tang Ming was standing in the back room beckoning to her. She adjusted her expression, thought for a moment, and then walked briskly to Tang Ming.

"It looks pretty good...this outfit."

Tang Ming scanned her up and down. Lin Ruoyu was still without makeup, wearing a black knitted batwing top, the wide hem swaying in the wind. The high-necked fabric hugged her slender neck. She was slightly lower than Tang Ming by half a head, and when she raised her head slightly to look at him, her eyelashes fluttered gently, like the soft curtains of a curtain.

"I went home specifically to change it." Lin Ruoyu pursed her lips, somewhat amused.

She did indeed fly home specifically to change her clothes before taking the subway here.

"Let's go inside first... We'll talk after dinner, okay?" Tang Ming reached out his hand, hesitated, then put it down and asked.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble... There are outsiders around." Lin Ruoyu rolled her eyes at him, as if she could see right through him, and smiled silently.
