Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 104 Aster's Advice

In the brief moment that Mozi was escaping, Ziwan's figure appeared silently beside Tang Feng like a ghost.

"dad."

"Hmm?" Tang Feng leaned back in his recliner and slightly raised his eyes.

Aster wore a conservative yet well-fitting swimsuit, a childlike style, which made her look petite and adorable.

Although it doesn't quite match Aster's previous aloof and glamorous style, it suits a girl of this age very well.

The swimsuit hugged the girl's exquisite figure, with only her limbs, as tender as lotus roots, exposed. A miniature octopus clung to the girl's fair arm, raising its tentacles to greet Tang Feng, "Chirp chirp."

Tang Feng touched his paws, then looked at Zi Wan, who seemed to have something to say.

"Is Mom feeling well?" Ziwan asked directly.

There are two ways to understand this issue: one is whether Tang Feng finds it comfortable to use, and the other is whether Mozi finds it comfortable.

But regardless of which interpretation you choose, the answer is the same.

"It feels good." Tang Feng nodded, then asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ziwan didn't answer Tang Feng's question, but continued, "Does Daddy like Mommy?"

"I like it." Tang Feng nodded without hesitation.

"Is it genuine affection, or just superficial?" Ziwan stared intently at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng then sat up straight, feeling somewhat puzzled by Zi Wan's question.

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be Mozi who asks this kind of question? Why is Ziwan so concerned?

"Why are you asking this?" Tang Feng smiled.

"Dad, you just need to answer my questions," Ziwan said stubbornly.

Okay... Tang Feng had no choice but to surrender.

"Sincerely." Tang Feng answered quickly without thinking.

There is no doubt that he is sincere to every magical girl.

Ziwan smoothed her hair, which was slightly ruffled by the sea breeze, and raised her pretty face. "I want my mom and dad to make up."

"We're doing fine now," Tang Feng said, somewhat surprised.

He and Mozi were inseparable every day. If they didn't have other things to do, they would want to be together 24 hours a day, and they wouldn't even be afraid of getting swollen from being soaked.

On this last day, he planned to relax with Moko, let her open up, and hopefully reconcile all grudges.

Judging from Moko's behavior just now, her attitude has changed a lot. He only needs to take advantage of the situation to completely win her heart.

Ziwan shook her head. "Dad, although you seem to have a lot of experience, you don't really understand women and don't know what they really want."

"Oh?"

Tang Feng's smile faded. Images of Sakura's deep, melancholic eyes, Moko's eyes filled with a mixture of love and hate, and the varied gazes of the other magical girls flashed through his mind. He sat up straight and asked seriously, "What insightful opinion does Wanwan have?"

He can use all sorts of despicable means to get them and then wantonly play with their bodies, but winning their hearts is not so easy.

He knew that Ziwan had always been the smartest girl, and even now, he still couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

So he wanted to hear Ziwan's opinion.

Ziwan stood rooted to the spot. "Dad, did you ever hurt Mom?"

Tang Feng nodded, not denying it, "The me of the past... is indeed somewhat different from the me of now."

"Actually, this is very simple." Ziwan brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, a rare sight for her. "Dad just needs to apologize to Mom."

An apology? Tang Feng hadn't expected this answer, or rather, the word "apology" didn't exist in his dictionary, and he subconsciously ruled out this option.

He is an evil monster who will never apologize, no matter how many people he has hurt, because monsters are inherently ruthless.

Should he apologize to Mozi? Tang Feng began to consider the feasibility of this option, which had never appeared before.

Seeing Tang Feng deep in thought, Zi Wan spoke up, "Actually, Mom really likes Dad, but she's hesitant to express it. Also, what Dad did in the past is like a thorn in your side. If it's not resolved, it will always stand between you two. No matter how loving Mom and Dad seem, it will never be a perfect match."

After thinking it over, Tang Feng nodded seriously, "What you said makes a lot of sense. I never even thought of that before."

Tang Feng raised his head and looked into Zi Wan's clear, bright eyes. "Wan Wan, what is your purpose in doing this?"

A wisp of a smile appeared on her face, as beautiful as an angel fallen to earth. "I want this family to be completely whole, Dad, Mom, Claw Claw, and Wanwan, to live happily together forever."

Tang Feng paused for a moment, then gently embraced the girl's soft body. "Wanwan, thank you."

"So you finally couldn't resist and went after your daughter? You filthy thing." Moko's cold voice came from the side. She had already cleaned up all the mess from before, leaving no evidence behind.

Tang Feng turned his head and saw that Mo Zi was holding two cups of fruit smoothies. She was drinking one herself, and the other looked like it was for him.

"Mozi is so thoughtful." Tang Feng reached out to take it.

"Stay away from me." Mozi frowned, pulled the glass in her hand back, and then handed it to Ziwan. "This is for Wanwan."

Tang Feng didn't expose her, because when Mozi bought the drink, Ziwan hadn't come ashore yet, and this shaved ice was actually bought for him.

As for why his attitude changed so drastically after he came back, it's easy to understand.

Tang Feng sighed. "Mo Zi, Mo Zi, don't you know that tsundere has already become obsolete?"

Ziwan didn't accept the fruit smoothie from Mozi, but declined, saying, "Give it to Zhuazhua, she'll definitely like it."

Looking up, I found that Claw had already finished the entire shaved ice, leaving not even a shard of ice.

"Chirp chirp."

The claws were waving their arms and legs, looking very happy.

Fruit smoothies are indeed delicious, especially in this hot weather. It's so refreshing to gulp one down in one go.

Claw Claw was really enjoying herself; she made chirping noises to indicate that she wanted more.

"I'll go buy it," Ziwan volunteered. Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Tang Feng, then left the space to the two of them.

Tang Feng naturally understood what Zi Wan meant. He leaned back in his deck chair, gazing at the coastline, and began to ponder what kind of occasion and approach he should take to bring it up.

After all, Tang Feng had never apologized to anyone in his life, not even to Ying; he had never uttered those three words.

In truth, he also owes Sakura a lot.

Tang Feng began to rehearse in his mind. He, who was usually fearless, had become somewhat cautious about this matter.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry?" Mozi leaned back on the recliner next to Tang Feng, handing him her half-finished fruit smoothie. "Want some?"

Tang Feng was thinking about the problem when he subconsciously took the gift and said, "Thank you."

Moko turned her head away and snorted, "Don't misunderstand, I just drank half of your shaved ice, and now I'm returning half of it to you."

Tang Feng swirled the glass in his hand, his gaze following the slow flow of the bright red juice inside. "Mozi, actually, you're a really nice person. I like you a lot."

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Moko jumped up from the recliner like a startled animal, looking a little flustered. She turned her face away, but an alluring blush crept onto her cheeks uncontrollably.

Tang Feng was organizing his thoughts, pondering how to proceed, when a distant cry for help interrupted his contemplation.

"Help!!!"

On the shore, a beautiful woman was crying out for help, with a little girl struggling in the water beside her.

Before Tang Feng could even see what was happening, Mozi had already rushed over.

Tang Feng smiled and shook his head. Magical girls all have one thing in common: as long as they hear people crying for help, they will instinctively go to them. This is the goodness and beauty in their humanity, and no matter what kind of personality a magical girl has, this will never change.

When it comes to rescuing people, he might do it casually if he's in a good mood, but most of the time he'll act as if nothing happened. If he's in a bad mood, he might even shut the person up.

This is the fundamental difference between a weirdo and a magical girl.

More often than not, the oddballs are the ones who send out distress signals.

Tang Feng took a leisurely sip of his fruit smoothie before turning his gaze toward the source of the sound.

It turned out to be the young woman who had approached him earlier. The little girl she was with looked like she was drowning and was struggling, creating splashes.

But is it possible to drown in such shallow water? And there were adults nearby.

Tang Feng subconsciously spread his senses and looked down into the water.

After a pause, he put down the glass, stood up from the deck chair, and walked toward the spot where the little girl had drowned.

Moko was the first to arrive at the scene. She grabbed the little girl and looked at the young woman, asking, "What happened?"

The young woman paused for a moment when she saw Mozi, feeling that the other woman looked vaguely familiar. She quickly recovered and said urgently, "My daughter is being entangled by something! Please help her!"

Moko hugged the little girl and tried to pull her, but found that she really couldn't move her.

What could possibly be on such a shallow shore?

Just as Moko was about to dive into the water to take a look, several men gathered around, all drawn by the young woman's cries for help.

"Little girl, you can't help, so get out of the way!"

One of the old men thought Mozi was in the way, but when the other men saw Mozi, their eyes lit up with amazement, and they couldn't even move their feet.

If saving lives wasn't the priority, they probably would have come up and started chatting with him.

"Get out of my way!"

A sharp shout rang out, and Tang Feng broke through the crowd, reaching the little girl and grabbing her.

"How dare you speak like that?" a man's voice rang out.

Tang Feng felt a surge of killing intent. He was already annoyed by these people staring at Mo Zi, and now they had just crossed him.

Tang Feng slowly raised his hand.

The next moment, his arm was held down. Moko looked at him, shook her head, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Tang Feng took a deep breath, slowly lowered his raised arm, and without saying a word, he dived underwater and pulled the little girl's leg and the thing that was stuck on her ankle out together.

Tang Feng didn't use magic; he simply used his physical strength to drag the little girl and the strange creature to the beach.

The anxious young woman quickly caught up and began performing CPR on the drowning little girl.

Most people's attention, however, was focused on the strange creature nearby.

It is no more than half a meter long, shaped like a pig, with a protruding lower jaw and a deformed body, making it look very ugly.

The creature showed no signs of life; the little girl's ankle had just gotten stuck in the monster's protruding jaw.

Moko's voice came from the side, "A calamity beast?"

Tang Feng nodded. "From all aspects, it was a calamity beast, but it's already dead."

The calamity beasts do not belong to this world. After they die, their bodies will naturally dissipate in two or three days. The magical girl's Heart Gem can accelerate this process, directly converting them into energy fragments for absorption.

A calamity beast had recently died nearby... Tang Feng expanded his senses to the entire surrounding sea area, but found no second calamity beast or any other anomalies.

Others around him had various opinions, some saying it was a newly discovered type of fish, and others saying it was a fish mutation caused by nuclear contamination.

Tang Feng didn't want to pay attention to these people and turned to leave.

As for the corpse of the calamity beast, it has nothing to do with him; it will naturally dissipate if left unattended.

"Thank you." The young woman behind her caught up to express her gratitude. The little girl had been resuscitated and had regained consciousness.

"You're welcome." Mozi accepted Tang Feng's thanks on his behalf, while stopping him at the same time.

The young woman holding the little girl looked at Mozi's beautiful face and smiled bitterly, feeling inferior.

These two look so well-matched, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they're both so warm-hearted. Their relationship must be very good, right?

So, the young woman put aside her previous ulterior motives, waved to Mozi, and said, "I wish you a long and happy marriage."

Moko paused for a moment, then returned the smile.

After the young woman walked away, Mozi hummed a little tune, turned around in a great mood, and ran towards the direction of the parasol.

"Tang Feng, let's collect seashells!" she called out to the man under the parasol from afar.

"Boring." Tang Feng rolled over in the recliner, but still stood up and walked towards Mozi. "This is the last day only."

The sea breeze tousled Moko's long hair. The girl walked barefoot in the fine sand, watching the figure approaching her, and smiled happily.

.

The sea breeze, carrying a hint of salt, ruffled the girl's soft, flowing hair.

Jin Cheng smoothed her hair, letting it lie obediently against the back of her head.

Jinju, swinging her side ponytail, wobbled as she got out of the car. "Sister, why don't you braid your hair too?"

"I don't like it," Jin Cheng said softly.

She disliked feeling restricted, not just in terms of her hair, but life forced her to accept these restrictions.

The man freed her from her day of constraints, allowing her to experience a long-lost sense of freedom.

but……

Jin Cheng stopped thinking about it. She had already escaped with her sister from the other party, who was now separated by several cities. No matter how powerful they were, it would be impossible for them to find them easily.

Kanna City, a small seaside town, is their hometown.

The high-speed train took them to Kannau in no time, but getting back to this remote town took several hours by bus, longer than the train journey, and their butts were sore from the shaking.

Jinju was still rubbing her bottom when the bus sped away behind them, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Jinju's buttocks hurt, and so did her other areas. She had already been driven to the brink of despair by Tang Feng, and the bumpy ride on the bus for several hours made the pain even worse.

Worried that Jin Cheng would notice something was amiss, she could only grit her teeth and bear it, while laughing it off, "This journey must have been so tiring, sister, does your butt hurt from sitting so long?"

Jin Cheng glanced at her, did not answer her, but still reached out a hand to help her walk.

Jinju looked around somewhat guiltily, comparing the surroundings with what she remembered. Suddenly, she seemed to notice something and pointed to the shallows not far away. "Sister, what's that?"

This old, dilapidated road is adjacent to the sea. Following her sister's pointing finger, Jin Cheng looked over and saw a small black dot on the shallows, which seemed to be some kind of creature.

Jin Cheng cast a magic spell and, together with Jin Ju, arrived at the shallows.

The creatures on the ground were distorted in appearance, with deformed limbs, and it was impossible to find any similar species.

"A calamity beast?" Jinju looked puzzled.

"It's so small, and it's just a corpse," Jin Cheng concluded after observing it.

Jin Cheng transformed, her magical girl costume popping out. She gripped her wand, carefully sensing her surroundings, but found nothing and shook her head.

In the end, they simply used the Heart Gem to absorb the remaining corpse of the calamity beast.

After doing all this, Jin Cheng put away the Heart Gem. "Let's go home and check on things first."

"Go home? Shouldn't we go to the hospital to see Dad first?" Jinju asked, looking puzzled.

Jin Cheng paused for a moment. Now that things had come to this, it was clear that she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

They've all returned, and Jinju can find out the real situation at any time.

So, Jin Cheng took a breath and then slowly exhaled.

Actually, Dad wasn't critically ill.
