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

"..." Tang Ming choked for a moment, then looked at Xing Yu with a strange expression.

Xingyu immediately realized her slip of the tongue and covered her mouth, trying to explain. "I meant..."

"She means... she thinks your wife can't be a corpse..." Ye Jingjing tried to explain...

???

Xingyu and Tangming turned their heads in unison, looking at her with meaningful expressions.

"Never mind... I understand what you mean."

Tang Ming waved his hand, not dwelling on it. He could understand that the magical girl was a bit immature, after all, she was his savior. He didn't need to care too much about such a small matter.

But... before heading to the injury and hospital ward, he secretly glanced at Xingyu. This kind of speaking style... probably couldn't possibly be her.

Tang Ming pictured Lin Ruoyu's face and her demeanor during their conversation, shook his head, and muttered to himself:

"No one would curse themselves to be a corpse, right? There shouldn't be anyone like that... at least Lin Ruoyu wouldn't."

Tang Ming muttered it to himself several times, unsure whether he was summarizing or convincing himself.

Xingyu felt Tang Ming glance at her, but she pretended not to notice. Only when he stopped looking at her and went to the resettlement area to wait for treatment did her shoulders slump.

"Maybe he already has a bad impression of me because of what I just said..."

"Heh... So this means you hate me because of 'me'?" Thinking that she had "insulted" herself, Xingyu couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Jingjing didn't know what to do. She didn't dare to ignore Xingyu and go upstairs. It was said that all the magical girls in Fangzhou City followed Xingyu's lead. It wouldn't be good to offend her...

Seeing that Xingyu seemed quite happy and spoke very gently, Ye Jingjing mustered up her courage and asked:

"Senior...excuse me, do you know this older brother?"

"What big brother?" Xingyu composed himself and looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.

"That older brother from earlier..." Ye Jingjing pointed in Tang Ming's direction.

"Oh, we just met... we were just chatting at the entrance of the neighborhood." Xingyu smiled and told a lie naturally.

Ye Jingjing nodded. It was reasonable for Xingyu to know Tang Ming. Wushao and the others all knew Ye Jingjing's identity, so there was no reason why Senior Xingyu wouldn't know.

However, she always felt that Xingyu's way of treating Tang Ming didn't seem like they had just reluctantly met...

Is it because Tang Ming has a good relationship with him that he takes care of the people around his juniors?

Or perhaps she's interested in the older brother?

Ye Jingjing's mind was already flashing through various detailed analyses. Reason told her it was the former; the senior was the most popular magical girl in the city, with a delicate mind, and it was reasonable for her to take care of the newcomer in this way.

In her own little corner of the mind, she imagined the gentle and serene Senior Xingyu sitting with Tang Ming, even showing a playful smile... Ye Jingjing shook her head like a rattle drum, throwing the unfounded fantasies out of her head.

Xingyu looked at this young junior, his expression changing rapidly, then he shook his head violently...

"...Is this child under too much academic pressure?"

I wonder what she will think when she finds out that the child hasn't even gone to school yet.

"Let's rejoin our companions first and get this done as soon as possible. I haven't even gotten to know you properly yet," Xingyu said with a smile.

"The matter of helping to find people..." Ye Jingjing was still thinking about her older brother.

"Ah, go find Kaoru, she can quickly find out the spell she knows."

Xingyu made up a random excuse to brush off Ye Jingjing. Seeing how concerned the child was about Tang Ming's affairs, she couldn't help but become more and more curious about the relationship between the two.

The two used their magic to fly quickly towards the ground. Ye Jingjing was slower, but it was enough for the indoor space.

"How is Wushao doing overall?"

Upon seeing the figures of several companions, Xingyu reconnected via magic.

"They've arrived? The rift has disappeared, and the list of dead and injured hasn't been finalized yet, but it's at least thirty people... This time, the Void Beasts weren't very aggressive or strong, but the transportation hub is still in a closed underground area, so many people simply can't escape."

The black stalks purified away the foreign matter residue at the site where the cracked bubbles disappeared, and then briefly described the general situation of this disaster.

"By the way, is he alright?"

Xingyu knew who "he" was referring to. "He saved me at the last moment... That wretched Void Beast, its timing was perfect, I just shook it off..."

"How is she? You should have seen her by now," Wu Shao asked again.

"Tang Ming was the one she saved. He's a very promising newcomer... I understand why you, who are so resistant to children, suddenly become so easy to talk to and even brought him over."

Xingyu smiled and subconsciously turned her head, only to see that Ye Jingjing had just come up and hadn't heard their conversation.

"Aren't you going to reveal your true identity?" Xunfeng approached, while Qiang Hong was still nearby, dealing with the remaining Void Beast corpses.

Xingyu shook her head and calmly said:

"Let's not rush... Let's wait and see how Ye Jingjing feels. Magical girls just represent brilliance and light... not stupidity. If we rashly reveal the information, we'll be wiped out in a heartbeat."

"I'll listen to you," Xunfeng nodded.

Wu Zhao is older, but usually carefree and irresponsible. As the second oldest senior, Xing Yu's opinions are universally accepted.

"By the way, don't talk about my husband either. The two of them... my identity is a bit complicated. Anyway, be careful, it's easy to let something slip."

Thinking of this, Xingyu sighed and scratched his forehead in frustration.

"You should tell Xiao Ba this, hahaha." Wu Shao laughed easily, gesturing towards Qiang Hong in the distance.

Seeing Ye Jingjing approach, they decided it was inappropriate to have an "encrypted call" in person and immediately ended the conversation.

"Senior...senior...senior."

Ye Jingjing obediently bowed to the three of them, then lowered her eyes and whispered, "I... I feel a little dizzy..."

"Don't be so formal, we're all companions... It's normal that you're feeling tired since it was your first time transforming and you used up so much magic power. Shall we leave now?"

Wu Shao bent down and put his arm around her shoulder, replying affectionately.

Hoshino and Kaoru nodded and called Gun Red back.

"You haven't eaten either, have you?"

"No, I was just about to get some news from you, senior, when I came over. Let's go to the teahouse to eat," Qiang Hong said coquettishly.

"A teahouse? That's acceptable."

Hoshino nodded. After a whole day of fussing, even though she was still in the body of a magical girl, her brain was warning her that she was really hungry...

"Senior... is your older brother's wife?"

As everyone finished their business and prepared to leave, a soft, sweet voice rang out.

Xingyu was startled; she had completely forgotten about it! She looked up at the sky guiltily…

Everyone else except her looked at Ye Jingjing with confusion. Ye Jingjing explained, "Tang Ming, my older brother is downstairs too... We need to help him find a wife..."

Three pairs of bright eyes turned to Xingyu again, their expressions even more puzzled.

"Cough, that's right. Xun, could you check if that person is among the disaster victims? If not, then they escaped."

Xingyu covered his face and coughed, then winked at Xunfeng and said.

"By the way, Sister Wushao, could you please check his injuries to see if he has been affected by the foreign substance?"

Seeing that Ye Jingjing was still looking at her, Xingyu pointed downstairs and added.

"Okay... wait for me."

Wu Shao's gaze shifted between Ye Jingjing and Xing Yu, she made a knowing gesture, and then drifted away.

Buzzing! Buzzing...

Xingyu noticed that her body was vibrating, as if her phone was ringing. With a thought, the phone appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Xingyu glanced at it, then immediately covered her chest to make sure Ye Jingjing hadn't seen it.

The incoming call on the screen was from Tang Ming…
