Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 72 A Family

Three figures sat around the small dining table, looking like a happy family.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there was a young man, a young girl, and... something indescribable.

No one can guess what kind of relationship this combination will have.

During the meal, Tang Feng chatted with Zi Wan and told her about Claw's origins.

After learning that Claw Claw was actually Ryuu, whom the magical girls of Binhai City were searching for, Ziwan fell silent.

She looked at Claw Claw happily picking at the small fish slices beside her, and a strange emotion began to spread through her heart.

"Does she remember nothing about what happened before?"

"Let's treat this as a new beginning. Look at her now, isn't she happy? Why remind her of those painful memories?" Tang Feng looked at the tentacles that were busy working and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

When Claw saw Tang Feng looking at her, she assumed he wanted to eat too. After hesitating for a moment, she used her tentacles to roll up a piece of fried fish and held it to Tang Feng's mouth.

"Dad, eat."

Tang Feng patted the soft, sponge-like head of the baby's paws and smiled, "You eat it yourself, Dad doesn't like this."

Tang Feng wasn't lying; he really wasn't very interested in food. Since Claw Claw liked fish slices so much, he wouldn't fight with his daughter for food.

In contrast, only a delicious magical girl could fill Tang Feng's stomach.

So, Claw quickly stuffed the small fish slices into its mouth, afraid that Tang Feng would change his mind.

Looking at Tang Feng and Claw Claw's intimate interaction, Zi Wan spoke with a hint of contemplation, "Perhaps you need to have a biological daughter, instead of venting your misplaced fatherly love everywhere like this."

Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I have indeed reached the age where I should have children."

He looked up at Ziwan.

Ziwan felt uncomfortable under Tang Feng's gaze. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm not old enough to have children yet. I hope you won't be such a monster."

"Of course I will keep my promise." Tang Feng continued to ponder, "The ones from Binhai City are all a bit too young, the only one who's somewhat suitable is Fengye..."

He looked up. "Wanwan, would you mind if Fengye were your mother?"

Ziwan completely lost her appetite. "Can we stop talking about this now, my dear dad?"

"Since Wanwan is unwilling, then forget it." Tang Feng casually picked up a slice of meat and put it in his mouth. "When looking for a mother for our daughter, we must take her opinion into consideration."

Tang Feng picked up another vegetable, eating and muttering, "From what I've observed, the leaf is very suitable for growth in all aspects. Being her daughter would definitely ensure she's well-fed. Aren't you really considering her? Wanwan."

"I'm stuffed."

Ziwan dropped her chopsticks and fled into Tang Feng's room.

Claw Claw picked up the plate with its four tentacles and shoveled all the remaining small fish slices into its mouth.

She looked in the direction Ziwan had left and asked in a puzzled voice, "Is my sister angry?"

No, that's not it.

Tang Feng used his magic to float a small piece of fish that had fallen from Claw Claw's mouth, and it hovered in front of her head.

"Your sister just couldn't maintain her usual expression, and she didn't want anyone to see her with a different expression, so she ran away."

"Claws don't understand."

Claw Claw took a bite of the small fish slice in front of its face and put it into its mouth.

"All you need to do is live happily," Tang Feng said with a smile, patting her head.

After finishing off all the small fish slices, Claw spread out its tentacles on the chair, making satisfied squeaks.

My sister's fish fillets are so delicious.

Aster's status in Claw's heart has risen even further.

After the two finished their meal, Ziwan came out without saying a word and began to clear the dishes.

"Sister, let me help you!"

Claw Claw volunteered and rushed forward.

Faced with the squeaking claws, Ziwan was taken aback for a moment. But when she saw that the claws were helping her clear away a few plates, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Ziwan's usually calm face.

Is this what it feels like to be with family again after so long?

They ate together, chatted, and did housework. Although Claw Claw looked like an octopus, Zi Wan actually found her kind of cute.

Tang Feng took in the girl's smile and couldn't help but praise her, "Wanwan, you look really beautiful when you smile."

Upon hearing this, Ziwan instantly returned to her usual self.

Tang Feng nodded slightly, it seemed that it would take quite some time before he could completely open the other person's heart.

If the knot in her heart is her parents and family, then once she completely lets go of these things, the day she awakens will not be far off.

However, before that, he needs to completely remove the seeds from the aster.

Tang Feng leaned back on the sofa and looked toward the kitchen, where Zi Wan and Zhua Zhua were washing dishes together.

However, he noticed that Aster was doing most of the work, and it was good enough that Claw was not causing any trouble, but it would occasionally spill tap water on Aster.

Overall, things seem to be going quite well.

Ziwan's personality is quite suitable to be an older sister. She has a high level of acceptance and tolerance, and can tolerate even the most naughty younger sister.

However, one must be wary that she might pull out a folding knife from under her skirt at any moment.

Tang Feng knew that Liu Huang was actually older than Zi Wan, but she had lost her memory and was like a newborn child in every way, so he could only make her his younger sister for now.

Or rather, the girl who possessed Liu Huang's memories is dead, and only this claw that inherited her soul lives on in her place.

But Claw's soul still belongs to the magical girl.

Pure and flawless, radiant and beautiful.

I wonder if she'll ever regain her memory...

Tang Feng withdrew his gaze.

Not long after, Ziwan, having finished her chores, appeared beside Tang Feng's sofa.

She looked somewhat disheveled, her whole body soaked from the water splashed by Claw Claw while washing the dishes, her thin clothes clinging to her skin, revealing the style of her black lace lingerie underneath.

This was something Tang Feng had temporarily created using magic that morning, and it couldn't last forever. At this moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Tang Feng's underwear was gradually disappearing.

So Tang Feng began to openly admire the girl's alluring figure.

Seemingly sensing the touch on her skin, Ziwan lowered her head and saw the large expanse of her exposed white skin.

She didn't pay much attention to Tang Feng's gaze, but instead smoothed her long hair, which had been wet from the claws, and let the wet hair that had fallen onto her shoulders fall down her back.

She looked directly into Tang Feng's eyes and asked calmly, "Is my daughter's body beautiful?"

Tang Feng was too lazy to answer this pointless question, so he pointed to Zi Wan's wet clothes.

"Take it off."

"Finally couldn't resist becoming a grotesque parody?"

As Ziwan spoke, she didn't hesitate. Instead, she generously took off all her clothes, revealing her alluring, snow-white skin underneath.

Tang Feng threw the girl onto the sofa, making her keep her back straight.

We're about to do something important.

Claw curiously peeked its head out from behind Tang Feng.

"Daddy, why did my sister take all her clothes off?"

"Because what we're about to do requires taking off our clothes."

"The woman looks even prettier than usual without clothes on."

"Of course, the more perfect a girl is, the less she needs superfluous decorations like clothes," Tang Feng said seriously.

Claw seemed not to understand. She stretched out a tentacle and scratched her head. "Can Claw play too?"

"No, I already said it's very important."

Claw lowered its head, looking somewhat dejected.

Seeing Claw's disappointed look, Tang Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Claw, why don't you play with your sister for a while?"

"Is it really possible?"

Claw's emotions surged instantly, and several tentacles began to reach towards the girl on the sofa.

Feeling the cool, smooth touch on her skin, Ziwan glanced at Tang Feng and sighed softly, "Stop playing around, it's time to get down to business."

Tang Feng then grew several tentacles from his back and lifted his claws off Aster.

"Dad, you have lots of long arms too!"

Claw seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"Of course, otherwise how could he be your father?"

Tang Feng tossed the claw onto the sofa behind him and began playing with the claw and its tentacles.

He himself went behind the aster blanket.

"Wanwan, are you ready?"

Aster nodded calmly.

"You know it will be very painful."

"Please stop saying such ambiguous things."

Ziwan felt somewhat troubled. She felt that nothing could disturb her mind anymore, but this frivolous guy kept making her feel an urge to grab a knife and hit him.

But not only was she helpless, she also ended up becoming the other party's daughter.

How could she possibly truly accept such an outrageous father...?

Just as Ziwan was lost in thought, a sharp pain suddenly came from deep within her body. Before it could burst out of her throat, Ziwan swallowed it back.

Ziwan knew that this was the official beginning, and that she would be subjected to an inhuman and painful ordeal for some time to come.

Tang Feng's expression was very serious. Facing the girl's alluring body, there was not a trace of lust in his eyes. His attention was focused on fighting against the power within her.

Separating the seeds that have been incorporated into the body is no less difficult than manually peeling off a complete cell membrane without killing the cells.

Even Tang Feng cannot let his guard down.

Tang Feng placed his hand on Zi Wan's shoulder and back. As strands of delicate magic flowed along Tang Feng's fingers into Zi Wan's body, her calm expression gradually became slightly distorted.

Unbeknownst to her, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and even her smooth back was covered in fine beads of perspiration. A faint, refreshing fragrance began to fill the air.

The fragrant sweat on his neck slid down over the delicate bone fragments.

Ziwan was completely unaware of this; at this moment, she was surrounded by extreme pain, which caused her whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

Even so, Ziwan clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.

The process quickly came to an end, and pale white flames began to erupt from Ziwan's body.

The intense pain, almost like spontaneous combustion, finally made Aster cry out.

Tang Feng quickly extinguished the flames. Just like last time, he picked up the limp, boneless girl and threw her into the bathtub where cold water had been prepared in advance.

After being soaked in cold water, Aster's eyes gradually regained their vitality.

"How much longer?" Ziwan asked softly, her voice weak and feeble, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

"It can take anywhere from a week to a month."

Looking at the beautiful figure and alluring pink and white skin in the bathtub, Tang Feng tilted his head slightly. "Can't take it anymore?"

"You'll get used to it." Ziwan closed her eyes and began to ease the intense pain she had just experienced.

"As a prospective magical girl, your performance can be described as outstanding." Tang Feng never hesitated to praise such a strong girl. "You truly are my daughter."

Ziwan automatically ignored his next question, "Can someone with my personality really become a magical girl?"

"Why not?"

"I don't feel much about the passing of life. Sometimes I even want to personally destroy some of the trash. I think a magical girl wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"As long as you believe deep down that you are absolutely righteous—and I mean not the kind of self-deception—then it won't be an obstacle to becoming a magical girl; it might even be the catalyst for your awakening."

Tang Feng was very experienced in this area and spoke fluently about it.

"Because justice has no strict standard of judgment, as long as you agree with yourself in your heart, then no one has the right to criticize you."

Ziwan seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to be listening. She simply nodded slightly and then closed her eyes again.

Seeing that the girl had cooled down enough, Tang Feng began to gradually increase the water temperature.

"Thanks."

Aster's emotionless voice didn't sound like she was thanking anyone at all.

"I'm so glad my daughter is so sensible."

Ziwan suddenly wanted to take back her thanks.

"I'm going out now, or Claw Claw will start making a fuss again," Tang Feng said, glancing out of the bathroom.

"You should have left long ago. What kind of monster would stare at his daughter while she takes a bath like that?" Ziwan said coldly.

Tang Feng simply smiled faintly.

He suddenly realized that Aster was exploiting the rules of the game.

He knew that the other party did not actually regard him as a father. Although he seemed to have gained the upper hand verbally, the other party was actually using this identity to make him restrain himself in everything he did.

What a smart girl.

Aster soaked in the bathtub and said calmly, "Actually, Claw Claw is more like your daughter, isn't she? Now that you have a daughter, it's time for our father-daughter game to end."

"No, Wanwan, as long as you believe deep down that this is a game, it will never end."

Tang Feng turned and left.

Outside the bathroom, the squeaking of claws and a man's laughter could be heard.

Ziwan leaned weakly against the bathtub, letting the water submerge her.
