Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

In Honey's live stream, Mi Ye was chasing after the two flying figures, stepping on the horizontal branches of a banyan tree.

But Izayoi's flying knife came without warning. Just as Miya stretched out her tentacles and swung her body to its highest point, several cold lights suddenly flashed in the night.

Three throwing knives shot out from the shadows of the dense forest ahead. Unlike the previous skirmishes, this time the knives were fast and ruthless, sealing off all the space she could dodge on the tree branches.

There's no escaping it.

Miya made a quick judgment, and tentacles shot out from her sleeves. Blood-red petals suddenly bloomed at the tips of the tentacles, and the edges of each petal were covered with dark red patterns unique to flesh magic.

After the petals unfolded layer upon layer, Miya then added [Hardening], and the soft flower instantly became harder than steel, forming a palm-sized flower shield in front of her.

Three throwing knives struck the petal shield, the metallic clang sharp and piercing. The knives were deflected, but Mi Ye's vision was blocked by the petal shield for a fleeting moment.

Taking advantage of the moment, Izayoi silently slipped out from the shadows of the trees to her left, her long white hair curving in the night wind. She held a short sword in her right hand, the tip of which was aimed at Miya's left rib, and then she stabbed down precisely, but it didn't feel like it had penetrated into flesh as she had imagined.

Izayoi's pupils dilated slightly, and the sensation in her hand felt like she had stabbed herself in a steel plate.

"you--"

Mi Ye did not give her a chance to sheathe her sword and start over.

She grabbed Izayoi's wrist, which was holding the sword, and tentacles wrapped up her arm while she spat out a mouthful of empty lice.

Izayoi only had time to see a white shadow rushing towards her before she was completely enveloped by the Empty Lice.

The white slime completely enveloped her body, as if she were soaking in a tub of warm jelly, leaving her completely powerless and her magical energy channels empty.

She struggled a couple of times, but the empty louse only made a soft chirping sound and wrapped itself around her even tighter.

Miya released her grip on Izayoi's wrist, gently placing the white cocoon-like Izayoi against the tree branch, then turned to look for Remy.

The canopy of the dense forest swayed gently in the night breeze, the branches of the banyan tree hung down like curtains, and the moonlight spilled like a stream into the forest clearing.

There was no one in the night, and Remi was gone.

Mi Ye's alertness spiked to its peak in an instant, her life senses fully activated, scanning every inch of her surroundings.

Then she heard the sound of wind breaking behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a hand reached out and precisely gripped the edge of her fox mask, then suddenly lifted it up.

The fox mask detached from Miya's face and was held high in Remi's hand.

Miya froze, her eyes wide as she turned to meet Remi's silver-gray eyes.

Remi hovered in the night sky, her small wings fluttering gently.

"You look pretty good."

She twirled the fox mask in her hand, completely disregarding Mi Ye's embarrassment, and instead revealed a rather satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, a dozen meters away in the night sky, Honey is holding a broom, perched on a branch of a banyan tree, with the camera precisely pointed in that direction.

The footage was transmitted in real time to the official live stream room of the Thousand Star Adventure channel, so all viewers watching the channel saw Mi Ye's face at the same moment.

Her black jellyfish-like hair was slightly lifted by the night breeze, with a few strands sticking to her forehead. Her slightly widened eyes reflected the lantern light, moonlight, and fireworks light. Her cheeks still had a faint pink tinge from the intense chase, completely losing their previous allure and instead becoming even cuter.

"Oh my, it seems to be an old acquaintance!"

Honey covered her mouth and laughed.

Meanwhile, the little witches who were secretly watching the drama unfold a few meters away also got excited.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, does she really look like that?!"

"I thought it was just some pretty random passerby, but it turns out it's really an idol. How can someone be so good-looking?"

"Wow, is this really an idol? I've been in this fandom for so long and I've never seen one before."

The chat room was buzzing with discussion.

【Mommy, Mommy!】

So cute!!

Why does this little witch look so familiar?

[Of course it looks familiar! Isn't that the number one player from Moon Forest?]

Wow, a tentacle monster, now I understand!

[Isn't this little witch from the Moon Forest coming to fight in the idol world a pure case of being outmatched?]

[Never mind her for now, she's just so cute]

[Her voice is so sweet and soft, I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to release an AMSR!]

……

Miya remained rooted to the spot, surrounded by voices and gazes coming from all directions. She wished she could just run away; it was just too embarrassing!

When she was taking the Martial Arts Tournament in the Moon Forest, the number of viewers in her live stream was not much less than it is now, and she didn't think much of it.

But at that time, she completely forgot about the live stream. Moreover, showing your face directly is completely different from having your face exposed after your mask is removed. One is like going out without wearing socks, while the other is like having your shoes secretly taken off and your socks stolen. How can they be the same?

Anyway, Miya isn't used to it, she really, really isn't used to it.

She instinctively raised her hand to cover her face, then realized that this action would only make her look even sillier on camera.

So she tried glaring at Remy instead, but Remy's round eyes were already cute, and with her slightly puffed-out cheeks and pursed lips, the glare had the opposite effect.

[I can't take it anymore, even my sulking looks cute.]

[Pufferfish.jpg]

[I feel like this will be turned into memes]

I'm pushing! I'm pushing! I'm pushing!

Give me back my mask.

Mi Ye said in a muffled voice.

Remi fiddled with the fox mask in mid-air, secretly relieved that her plan had been a complete success.

Actually, she didn't know that the little witch under the mask was so beautiful. At first, she just planned to take off the mask to embarrass the other party, and then she would cooperate with the acting to create another show.

Judging from the little witch's reaction, the adorable girl staring at her might have another identity, which makes things even better—perfect for creating a great show!

"Sure~ Take off your clothes and I'll give them back to you."

She tucked the fox mask into her waistband, folded her little wings, and fell straight down from mid-air.

Remi didn't choose to win by flying, and Miya seemed to be provoked by the opponent's blatant provocation, so she directly raised her sword and charged forward.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of unspoken understanding, and bumped into each other head-on in a relatively open woodland.

The blood-stained sword clashed with the short blade, the crisp sound of metal striking metal echoing through the dense forest.

Remi no longer chose to attack with the scythe; instead, the short sword was a better match for her agile movements.

Miya withstood several cuts with her hardened skin, her clothes were torn in several places, but her offensive did not diminish in the slightest.

The two fought from the open space to the roots of the banyan tree, and then from the roots to the stone steps, with the screams and cheers of the little witches rising higher and higher.

After countless rounds of fighting, Remi was clearly exhausted. The moment her short sword was blocked by the Nightfall Blood Sword, she was even forced back a step by the opponent's power.

Furthermore, Miya noticed something: after each of Remi's attacks, for a fraction of a second after the blade returned to its place, her left hand would unconsciously rise slightly, seemingly due to muscle memory from using the scythe.

So she cleverly seized the opportunity in the next round, silently conjuring a blood bullet with her left hand.

The blood bullet shot from her fingertips and struck Remy's wrist, which was holding the knife, with pinpoint accuracy.

The immense impact jolted the short blade from Remy's hand.

Mi Ye flew closer, her blood sword held directly against the opponent's neck.

Remi glanced at the dark red blade resting against her neck, her eyes still holding that smile, then sighed softly.

She raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

"You win, you fox-faced little witch."

Mi Ye still seemed unsatisfied and was about to curse at the guy when she remembered that she was live-streaming and needed to maintain her image.

So he stood in the very center of the open space, his blood sword hanging at his side, his chest still heaving slightly from the fierce battle just now.

She subconsciously looked around and realized that the area was already crowded with people. A quick glance revealed at least several hundred people, some perched on tree branches, some flying in the sky, and others standing on the ground. Every face was filled with excitement and curiosity, and every pair of eyes was staring straight at her.

Mi Ye's CPU burned out instantly.

She frantically turned her head towards Remy, gesturing wildly with her eyes.

The mask! Give me back my mask!

Remi slowly took out the fox mask, but instead of handing it to her, she helped her put it back on herself.

He ran his fingers through Miya's stray hairs and carefully tied the broken ribbon into a knot at the back of her head, a much gentler gesture than when he removed the mask.

"Thank you."

Remi withdrew her hand, still smiling, already thinking about how many fans their Youyue would gain this time.

Let's meet again next time!

Miya didn't respond to her misleading statement, but instead glared at her fiercely.

Only after the mask was put back on her face did Miya finally return to normal.

Then she saw Honey descend from mid-air on a broomstick, grab her right hand, and raise it high.

"Ladies and gentlemen—!! It seems this little idol, our most talked-about fox-faced little witch, has won this battle! Congratulations!!"

Once again, deafening cheers erupted from the surrounding area.

It's unclear who set off the fireworks, but perhaps some spectators got too excited and lit all the fireworks in their bags. Golden, silver, blue, and purple orbs of light exploded one after another above the banyan tree, illuminating the entire night sky as bright as day.

The lanterns on the long river swayed slightly from the sound waves, the kappa poked their heads out of the bridge arch and looked curiously up the mountain, and even the tengu postman stopped in mid-air and forgot to deliver the letter.

Amidst the cheers and fireworks, Miya secretly glanced at the team panel.

Their team's popularity soared from seventh to third in that short period of time, and the screen was flooded with comments.

【So cute! So cute! So cute!】

[Follow Miya, thank you, Meow]

[Extra-large tentacles, just like those worn by Miyako, click the link to purchase]

This user has been banned.

Wow, Sister Pian is here too!

This episode was amazing!

Why was it blocked? I was just about to buy it! qwq

[What kind of genius is this? He's from Moon Forest and he's so good-looking! I want to start over.]

[Go back to the previous one, and restart now to get a brand new magic circuit withered body!]

What kind of hellish joke is this?

The comments were still scrolling by, densely packed, and she vaguely caught a few lines that made her want to disappear into the ground, so she immediately turned off the comment display.

After Honey announced the results of the competition, the crowd of onlookers rushed towards her.

Some people were shouting, "Hey, can you sign my autograph?" Others were shouting, "I've been watching you since the Moon Forest! I'm your fan!" Still others didn't say anything but just wanted to get closer and see what this tentacle witch who could take on the entire Young Moon team looked like. And some people just wanted to ride the wave of popularity and get in the shot.

Miya was surrounded in the middle. In front of her, someone was asking her to sign a piece of paper that had been torn from somewhere, while behind her, someone was standing on tiptoe and holding their phone over the head of the person in front of them, trying to take a picture of her face.

Fortunately, the fox mask covered the upper half of her face, otherwise her cheeks, which were as red as apples, would have been visible.

Mi Ye clasped her hands to her chest, her lips moved several times, but she couldn't utter a single word. She just wanted to wait for everyone to leave so she could get off the train.

Meanwhile, on the railing halfway up the mountain in the distance, the little ghost was watching Flower Treasure from afar.

The path from the message platform to the mountainside wasn't too long, but for her, who would be out of breath after just a few steps, running this section had exhausted all her strength.

Her white veil was askew to one side, and her wisps of hair were plastered to her cheeks with sweat. She was leaning over, hands on her knees, panting heavily.

She had originally wanted to run over to check on Mi Ye and find out if she was injured, but what she saw was that Hua Bao was surrounded by many people, fireworks exploding above her head, making her look like the protagonist of the night.

The light was dazzling and within reach, yet it was separated by an entire sea of ​​people.

March Summer watched from afar for a while, then cautiously raised her hand and waved in the direction where the crowd was gathered.

Her lips moved, as if she wanted to shout out the other person's name, but she hesitated and swallowed it back.

Because Miya was being tugged at by a group of excited little witches who were asking her all sorts of questions, her eyes under the fox mask were scanning from left to right and then from right to left, so she didn't have time to notice the quiet gaze in the distance.

Another firework exploded, showering down golden light that made Mi Ye's eyes sparkle.

March Summer's hand hovered in the air for a long while before silently lowering it.

She simply pursed her lips, her hazy eyes flickering in the fireworks, like a small patch of night sky lost in the night.
