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

It is common knowledge that magical girls are subjected to cognitive masking by projection after transformation. Hoshino's face is still very beautiful. In fact, it is impossible for any magical girl to be ugly, whether before or after transformation.

Many busybodies even think that the elf is completely obsessed with appearances.

In Tang Ming's eyes, Xing Yu's face was covered with an aura of magic. Even though there were clear photos online, he found it difficult to find any trace of reality on that face.

But Tang Ming had a strange sense of familiarity. The starlight in the other person's eyes gave him an unusual and eerie beauty, and his mature and gentle smile made the citizens of Fangzhou feel both loved and at ease.

Tang Ming's sense of familiarity wasn't due to beauty; he even searched his memory several times but couldn't find any corresponding face. Not only Xingyu, but almost all magical girls had a hard time finding a sense of reality in them.

This may be the power of magic, altering everyone's perceptions while remaining imperceptible to people.

Tang Ming never doubted that the magical girls were people around him. Anyone who had seen the magical girls in person would realize that they were girls from another dimension, completely different from this chaotic and dirty world.

"Shall I set off now?"

Lin Ruoyu waved her hand, picked up her small bag, and walked out of the entrance hall.

Tang Ming nodded, and after "politely" seeing him off, he went to the high platform in the restaurant, carefully moved a chair over, stood on it, and took a look at yesterday's photo frame.

The spot he had carefully placed remained unchanged, with a short strand of hair pressed under the frame—a detail Tang Ming had deliberately left.

"What the heck... I guess there's something wrong with my head. Why am I overthinking things?"

Tang Ming was amused by his own "foolish" behavior. Of all people to suspect, he had to suspect his own wife. If word got out, people would really think he was crazy.

Although those people would observe him from time to time as if he were a patient.

Tang Ming shook off the thoughts in his mind, put the chair back in its original position, washed his face, and as was his professional habit, checked the power strip and electrical appliances before taking his briefcase and heading down to the basement.

"Let's meet at the Anti-Demon Department in half an hour. I have some things to attend to for now."

Xingyu, who had already transformed, stood on the rooftop, but instead of wearing a gorgeous magical outfit, she wore a short-sleeved, knee-length dress with subtle gold accents that shone brightly in the sunlight.

However, it was already much more understated than when she was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Unless you were specifically looking at Xingyu, you generally wouldn't be able to sense the magical aura surrounding her.

"I didn't stay in bed... I really had something to do, just investigating someone."

Li Shuang chuckled playfully at the person on the other end of the phone: "So you've started playing the stalking game too, huh?"

"also?"

"As a magical girl, isn't the greatest privilege of magic to secretly do things that ordinary people can't do?" Li Shuang said righteously, and Xing Yu couldn't detect any embarrassment in her voice.

"Sister...you've never told me these things before." Xingyu was silent for a while.

"I couldn't teach you these things before. Every magical girl I know has been secretly followed, some have even caught cheaters in the act... Hey, you do that too?"

Li Shuang's tone was like that of a madam beckoning someone into a shop. Xing Yu knew that the other party was old and therefore had no manners, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Although Li Shuang couldn't see her expression, she could guess what it was. Just as she was about to tease her some more, Xing Yu interrupted her.

"Sister Li Shuang, I have to go now, I'm hanging up."

Xingyu put away her phone, glanced at the familiar car driving out of the community gate downstairs, and lightly touched the ground, her whole body floating in the air.

Xingyu suppressed almost all of her magic power and flew discreetly alongside the car, skimming close to the building.

Tang Ming gripped the steering wheel, turning it left and right to avoid the congested traffic. Fangzhou City wasn't as congested as it is now, and its development was certainly not as prosperous.

Before the Void invasion, Fangzhou City was just one of countless medium-sized cities with little reputation. But after that, perhaps because of magical girls and wizards, Fangzhou City became safer than many larger cities, which attracted countless people to immigrate here.

Tang Ming was a native of Fangzhou City and did not have a clear understanding of the extent of the void disaster between cities. However, during his university years, thanks to his dedication to the Demon Department and the presence of several powerful magical girls, the scope of the void disaster was always kept to a very small area.

It is said that some cities were destroyed in battle, occupied by Void Beasts, or turned into ghost towns...

Tang Ming made a phone call, and while the light was red, he flipped through the folders in his briefcase, then turned around and did not head to Anmeng Insurance Company.

Xingyu stood with her hands on her hips, gazing at the distant traffic, her eyes fixed on Tang Ming's car.

Tang Ming used to take the subway to work. He rarely drove except on weekends. According to him, "Driving is too tiring, and there are traffic jams on the way to work, which makes it easy to be late. I can even take a nap on the subway."

Now that the other party was driving out in an unusual way, Xingyu couldn't help but frown, wondering what the other party was up to.

Then she saw the car stop outside a street after driving for more than ten minutes. Tang Ming got out of the car and walked to a bakery on the side of the street to queue up.

This bakery isn't a chain, but it's been around for over ten years. The owner is honest, the food is good, and it's become quite famous, attracting many customers to queue up.

Tang Ming returned to his car with two brown paper bags and drove away.

"Didn't you already have breakfast? Did you buy it for someone else?"

Xingyu murmured, "Today's breakfast is still the preserved radish and omelet I made myself..."

He continued flying to catch up, becoming increasingly curious about where Tang Ming was going. She already thought she was being foolish enough; even if she suspected that he had some connection with the Void Beast, there was no need to follow him like this.

Moreover, after yesterday's probing and today's tracking, her husband didn't seem to have anything to do with the virtual beasts at all. He was dull, lazy, and aimless, and didn't seem to know anything...

Xingyu was already preparing to return home; she had more important matters to attend to regarding the Demon Department. Right now, her only motivation for following him was to find out what Tang Ming was planning to do with the bread.

More than ten minutes later, Tang Ming finally parked his car on the side of the road again, or rather, in front of an apartment building.

Xingyu's pupils contracted. Hua Lingyou was dressed in a flamboyant manner, making her particularly eye-catching. Her bright red dress looked like a blooming rose in the air. She smiled and waved, then put the small suitcase she was dragging into the back seat and got into the passenger seat.

Flower Spirit? Breakfast? Suitcase?

A series of questions popped into Xingyu's mind, but she didn't know where to begin.

"It's okay. What does Tang Ming's business have to do with me? I'm not even that close to him... There's no need to take a marriage seriously."

Xingyu kept muttering words that only she could hear, intermittently.

She wasn't going to watch any longer. She couldn't help but think that it was hard to associate Tang Ming's character with war and the cause of life and death. It was a bit ridiculous to associate him with the symbiote group.

The other person was just an ordinary person...

Xingyu didn't know why she defended herself against Tang Ming's suspicions—was it relief or disappointment?

But no matter how much she overthinks, she eventually got up and flew away from the building.

They continued to follow the direction the car had left in.

She was still very curious.
