Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 109 Aster's Persistence

After escaping the dangerous situation, Tang Feng slightly dispersed his senses.

He was surprised to find that Moko was not in the room.

And the claws disappeared as well.

Tang Feng soon found out the answer.

Moko has already left with Claw.

Last night's embrace was her final farewell.

Tang Feng sighed inwardly for a moment, then went back to sleep.

It was already a certainty that Moko was leaving, but he didn't expect her to sneak away in the middle of the night.

Tang Feng decided to sleep a little longer. It was still dark, and if he got up now, wouldn't that be like burying his head in the sand? Zi Wan would definitely know that he had just been awake.

So, after the sharp blades subsided slightly, Tang Feng turned over again, naturally embracing the softness beside him. After ensuring a safe distance below, he began to breathe in the faint fragrance emanating from the girl.

After Moko left, it seemed they were going back to how things were at the beginning.

Otherwise, Ziwan wouldn't have been so eager to sneak into his bed.

He held the soft, fragrant girl in his arms and drifted back into a light sleep.

I don't know how much time had passed, but it was already broad daylight.

Tang Feng suddenly realized what was happening. He reached out and shook the girl in his arms. "Mo Zi, wake up! We missed the sunrise."

"Uh... Wanwan? What are you doing here? Where's Mozi?" Tang Feng looked confused.

Ziwan stared at him without saying a word.

Tang Feng, noticing this, coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, "Wanwan, you..."

"I'm used to sleeping naked," Ziwan said calmly, uttering a line she had repeated many times.

"That's not what I'm asking. I mean, how did you end up here?"

"Mom's gone, I'm just sleeping like before," Ziwan said calmly.

"Moko's already gone. I didn't expect her to leave so quietly without saying goodbye." Tang Feng looked at the large bed next to him with a disappointed expression. "Claw Claw was taken away too."

He was quite sad to see Claw Claw leave. This adorable little girl, so innocent and childlike, treated him like her real father.

Although he can be a little mischievous at times, it's harmless and often enlivens the atmosphere within the family.

Claw Claw resembles Aster more and is more in line with the identity of a daughter.

But in order for Claw to return to its original state, he decided to give Claw to Moko and show it to Sakura, who was much more skilled in this area than he was.

Every coin has two sides; his power leans more towards destruction and devastation, while Sakura's mastery of life is something he can only dream of.

He hopes that Claw will recover to its original state soon.

Although Claw Claw had previously expressed her reluctance to return to normalcy, Tang Feng had sensed her confusion and melancholy when facing old acquaintances like Water Blue and Crimson Flame on several occasions.

She is the magical girl Ryuki, and she has the right to choose for herself; Tang Feng will grant her that right.

When Tang Feng led her out of the death illusion that had trapped her, he promised to help her find herself again.

Now, she and Moko have left together, embarking on a journey to find themselves.

Tang Feng's gaze returned to Zi Wan in front of him. "Now it's just the two of us."

Ziwan nodded without saying anything more.

Tang Feng looked at her bare shoulders and pretended to ask, "I always thought I was holding Mo Zi. Nothing happened while we were sleeping, right?"

Ziwan shook her head, still saying nothing.

It seems Ziwan is consciously ignoring the near miss. Tang Feng looks at her thoughtfully; he still can't figure out what this girl is really thinking.

In that situation, she remained completely still, letting him take her as he pleased, neither taking initiative nor resisting, like a cold sculpture.

But the sculpture wouldn't willingly crawl into his bed, nor would it be so fragrant and delicious.

Without thinking further, Tang Feng stroked the girl's long, smooth, black hair. "Get up."

. . . . . .

In this game, Tang Feng admitted defeat. He couldn't truly treat Zi Wan as his daughter, even if he could do so in words and deeds, he always harbored other desires in his heart.

Of course, this is also related to Aster's own behavior, such as what is happening now.

After getting dressed, Ziwan went to the bathroom to wash up without saying a word, and Tang Feng slowly got out of bed.

Just as he finished dressing, Ziwan came out of the bathroom. "Dad, let's go to the beach to watch the sunrise together."

"..."

Tang Feng glanced at the bright sky outside the window, and at the dark clouds above, and nodded without saying anything.

"it is good."

.

On the beach, Tang Feng and Zi Wan sat side by side on a high slope. The morning sea breeze carried a slightly salty and cool feeling, blowing their hair.

"The sun hasn't risen yet," Ziwan said with a hint of regret.

"Why do you want to see the sunrise, Wanwan?" Tang Feng exhaled slowly.

"But didn't we make a promise yesterday?" Ziwan looked towards the horizon and said softly, "Our family went to the beach together to watch the sunrise."

Now only the two of them remain from their family of four. Tang Feng wonders if Zi Wan's emotional changes are related to this.

Tang Feng stood up from the ground, patted the sand off his backside, and said, "I forgot to check the weather forecast yesterday. It's cloudy today, so we won't see the sunrise."

Moreover, the time has long passed.

Ziwan shook her head and didn't say anything.

So Tang Feng sat down again and continued to keep Zi Wan company as she enjoyed the sea breeze.

Time passed slowly, and the wind gradually picked up.

What started as a gentle breeze that lightly ruffled hair gradually evolved into a gale of force 5 or 6.

"What the hell? We finally managed to get out and have some fun, and we run into this awful weather." A voice came from not far away.

It was a family of four wearing swimsuits, who left the beach due to the strong winds.

The wind was getting stronger, and the few scattered figures on the beach gradually disappeared.

Only Tang Feng and Zi Wan remained, sitting alone in the same spot.

Tang Feng took out his phone and glanced at it. Could it be a typhoon warning today?

At that moment, a sharp cry shattered the silence of the sky.

Tang Feng put his phone back in his pocket; it seemed he didn't need to check the weather forecast anymore.

A huge black shadow rose from the sea, bringing with it towering waves like a tsunami. The rolling waves crashed onto the shore, swallowing the beach, and only slowly receded at the high slope at Tang Feng's feet.

"Dad, I have something I want to ask you." Ziwan brushed the seawater that splashed on her cheeks and spoke calmly.

At that moment, all the magical girls in Binhai City felt a strong magical fluctuation coming from the coast.

A powerful being has appeared in the world.

They rushed to the center of the magical fluctuations immediately.

These magical girls met yesterday.

Shui Lan Chi Yan finally made contact with Feng Ye and, dragging his aching backside, rushed to meet her.

Then came a shocking message.

Tang Feng is very suspicious.

"How is that possible?!" Chi Yan expressed her absolute disagreement with this speculation. She believed that Tang Feng was upright and honest, and a perfect being both outwardly and inwardly.

Shui Lan sighed softly. She didn't find this conclusion as hard to accept as Chi Yan. However, the shadow that had vaguely entered her heart was slowly becoming blurred.

The man who shouted between her and the monster, the man who caught her from mid-air and held her in his arms, the man who set his phone ringtone to her singing voice—it turned out that it was all a disguise.

She was secretly pleased when she heard from Chi Yan that Tang Feng really liked her singing and had even set it as his ringtone, but now...

Shui Lan shook her head, no longer letting these distractions disturb her mind.

Fengye then patiently explained to Chiyan.

The fact that the Jin Cheng sisters left without saying goodbye, leaving behind the words "Be careful of Tang Feng," says a lot.

They must have discovered something.

Shui Lan had a vague suspicion about Zi Wan's recent behavior, so she accepted this conclusion faster than Chi Yan.

But I still feel inexplicably heartbroken.

He was such a good person...

Shui Lan took a deep breath, calming herself down slightly. "What did the specialist in Kyoto say?"

Fengye looked a little embarrassed. "She's not answering the phone right now."

At that moment, Moko was riding enthusiastically and immediately tossed the caller ID aside when she saw it.

The weirdo you're looking for is currently being ridden like a horse by me, heh heh...

Shortly after, Aster and Claw rushed out.

Jasmine trembled violently in an instant.

"Do you think she's trustworthy?" Shui Lan suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?!" Seamstress nearly jumped up in excitement. She couldn't tolerate anyone doubting her idol. "That's the famous Rose! One of the strongest magical girls in the world!"

"No one is more reliable than her! You can even doubt me for giving false information, but you can't doubt her!!"

Shui Lan reached out and patted Feng Ye to calm her down. "It's not a matter of doubt, but the strange man is still alive, isn't he?"

Next, Shui Lan recounted her experience of the day to Feng Ye, omitting the details of the corporal punishment.

"Perhaps she's got the wrong target," Fengye tried to explain.

"But no commissioner has come to carry out the mission, and they haven't even shown their face after all this time, have they?" Shui Lan didn't say it aloud. She knew that Feng Ye greatly admired that magical girl, and there were some things that were inconvenient to say in person.

So she offered words of comfort, "Let us know once you've contacted her."

Then Shui Lan pulled away the cursing Chi Yan.

"Tang Feng could never be a weirdo!!" Chi Yan argued as he left.

"Shut up, you're so noisy."

"You also believe he's a weirdo?!"

"..."

This happened last night, and now they are heading to the beach from different directions.

Near the coastline, a gigantic monster emerging from the sea is slowly approaching the shore.

Ziwan stared at the enormous object that had grown from a black dot in her field of vision, her expression extremely serious.

"Dad, I have a few questions for you. Please answer them truthfully."

"Hmm?" Tang Feng nodded when he saw how serious Zi Wan looked. "Go ahead and ask."

"Has the seal placed on you by Mako's mother been broken yet?"

Ziwan knew about Tang Feng and Mozi's mutual sealing, and last night, when she saw Tang Feng chained up by Mozi and straddling her, looking completely powerless, she subconsciously thought that Tang Feng was still in a sealed state.

Tang Feng did not answer immediately. He carefully observed the aster and noticed something unusual.

The surrounding energy was faintly gathering towards Ziyuan, creating faint fluctuations in the airflow.

In the raging winds where the calamity beast manifested, it appeared almost imperceptible.

But Tang Feng was very familiar with this.

Although faint, it is indeed a sign of awakening!

It is highly likely that Aster will take this step completely!

Tang Feng began to get excited; he was finally about to witness the birth of a new magical girl.

He wanted to savor the first bloom of the aster.

"Dad, has your seal been broken?" Ziwan asked again, patiently.

Tang Feng quickly understood everything.

Due to the pressure from the calamity beast, Aster is very likely to awaken this time.

If he directly kills the calamity beast, he will miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"No," Tang Feng replied.

He absolutely would not allow this opportunity to slip away. Even if Ziwan had other ideas after learning the truth, that would be something that happened after she became a magical girl.

He would do anything to bring a magical girl to life.

A mysterious expression appeared on Zi Wan's face as she stared at the distant figure of the calamity beast, the energy fluctuations emanating from her body growing even stronger.

"Can Dad beat it now?" Ziwan asked again.

Tang Feng clearly understood the meaning behind Zi Wan's words: if he could intervene, Zi Wan's awakening would be terminated.

So he said, "We can't beat them. Why don't we run away and wait for the magical girl to come?"

"Dad, without magic, can't outrun the calamity beast, right?" Ziwan glanced at the calamity beast that had already reached the shallow sea and asked the next question.

"Does Daddy love me?"

"Love." That's beyond question.

"If I become a magical girl, will my dad still love me the same way he does now?"

"I will love Wanwan even more." Tang Feng finally spoke the truth again.

Ziwan shook her head. "I don't want that kind of love. I want to continue being Daddy's daughter, just like this. Can Daddy promise me that?"

Tang Feng remained silent for a long time before nodding heavily. "I promise."

"I don't want to become like Mozi's mother, can Daddy promise me?" Ziwan asked again, changing her wording to confirm.

"I promise."

The energy fluctuations around Ziwan intensified, gradually evolving into an energy storm, with surging energy converging towards her heart.

At the center of the energy storm, Ziwan tilted her head slightly and asked one last question, "Was every word Dad just said the truth?"

"The truth."

"Okay, I'll protect Dad this time."

Ziwan gently closed her eyes, and her body floated naturally into the air under the influence of the storm. Endless energy surged wildly into Ziwan's heart, where a heart-shaped gem was taking shape.
