Is it only magical girls?

Yuanxing asked uncertainly, "Are you sure this is okay?"

Lingling shook her head. It was her first time using this magic, and she didn't know if there would be any problems.

Looking at the bottomless boat, Yuanxing gritted his teeth and finally jumped on. At worst, he could just stand on the edges of the boat and sway forward.

The bottomless boat swayed gently forward. Neither the witch nor the familiars attacked her, but that didn't mean the familiars wouldn't block her path. Suddenly, a large group of familiars, arrayed in formation, appeared on the boat's route. These familiars had set up a defensive line to fight against the magical girls of Paradise, and this line of defense was entirely in the path the bottomless boat had to take.

If a distant star attacks, it will immediately be attacked by a swarm. But if you crash directly into it, will it be considered an attack?

Just as Yuanxing was getting anxious, a golden light flew in and struck the familiar's body directly. This caused the familiar to quickly change direction and attack the golden light. Yuanxing clearly saw the shape of the golden light; it was a crescent moon, an attack from Qianchan.

Chapter 44 It is possible to openly and legitimately destroy a city.

The bottomless boat plunged in, and the scenery before Farstar's eyes suddenly changed. It was no longer a witch, but a darkness in which she could not see anything.

Yuanxing quickly understood the situation: this darkness was the witch's inner world, and her heart was just that dark, without hope, light, or future.

But this was no challenge for the distant star, for she was a star, best suited to dwell in darkness. Just as she said, she would become the light in the darkness, guiding others and helping them find the right direction. A star appeared in the darkness, a star that was neither dark nor bright; she neither shone nor hid herself, she simply stood there, quietly waiting for travelers suffering in the darkness to discover her presence.

In the darkness, there were roars of tigers, howls of lions, and howls of wolves. The witch's evil thoughts ran rampant, transforming into a complete demon, rubbing her hands together in the darkness. But this had nothing to do with the distant star. She was a star in the sky, and no matter how hard these demons tried for tens of thousands of years, they would never be able to touch her. Their mere evil thoughts were not enough to shake her spirit.

Yuanxing didn't intend to do anything. It wasn't that she didn't know what she should do, but rather that she knew the best thing she could do was to do nothing, quietly waiting and watching. A traveler suffering in darkness could not help but yearn for hope and light; all she needed was a little patience, since time was meaningless in the spiritual world anyway.

I see your fear, I see your confusion. Tell me your pain, and I will drive it away.

I am your North Star; I will guide you, I will lead you, and I will protect you.

A melodious song suddenly rang out in the dark world. It was Lingling singing, projecting her voice into the darkness through her connection with the distant stars. The beautiful song was enough to soothe any pain in the heart, and it was no exception for this witch who had fallen into darkness. The witch revealed her figure in the darkness.

No, she can no longer be called a witch; she is merely a lost traveler shrouded in darkness, wandering aimlessly.

"Sister, aren't you going back?"

“Why are you calling me ‘sister’?” the traveler chuckled. “You’re Lingling’s girlfriend. I’ve met you several times. You’re always taking care of Lingling.”

Yuanxing did not deny it, but responded with a smile.

"What a good boy. Lingling has such good taste. The girlfriend she chose is cute, considerate, and so handsome. She's much smarter than me."

"Being a magical girl is great too. She can defeat super-large monsters at such a young age, and even fight against witches who are more powerful. She can easily surpass me and leave me far behind in the future."

"Even her singing is better than mine. Her singing just now was so beautiful that it touched my heart and even my soul, making my soul tremble."

Yuanxing sensed something was wrong; this didn't seem like she was simply praising her daughter. "Sister, stop talking!"

"Why can't I accomplish anything? Why do I always fail, fail, and fail again? Why are my troubles, worries, and despair so insignificant in front of her?! Besides, I used to be very successful, my life was smooth sailing, and my talents were recognized! Give them back to me! Give them back to me! Give me back my talents, my life, my future!!!"

The traveler's face was completely split, with the left side showing the hideous, terrifying, and horrifying image of a witch, while the right side showed the joyful, pleasurable, and remorseful image of the traveler.

Got it wrong!

Yuanxing finally understood why the witch attacked Lingling. The witch's obsession wasn't about winning over more viewers or receiving their praise, but rather about killing the daughter who stole her talent and reclaiming her own talent, life, and future. The witch's actions didn't align with her obsession because Lingling's mother was suppressing it; in order to protect her daughter, she subjectively reinforced the former obsession!

Lingling's singing voice completely shattered her obsession with self-expression, so that her murderous intent was no longer entangled and was fully expressed!

But what truly sent chills down Yuanxing's spine wasn't the witch's murderous intent, but rather the undisguised energy emanating from somewhere not far away. That power was as sacred as the rising sun, poised to sweep away all darkness and annihilate it all. Having grasped the situation, Hongshi, who had been closely monitoring the battle, naturally also understood. To protect Lingling, she planned to use herself as a medium to directly perform mental castration.

Spiritual castration was something Yuanxing desperately wanted to avoid, so she voluntarily severed her mental connection and returned to the real world.

In the real world, witches are undergoing an astonishing transformation. Tree stumps are decaying, palaces are burning, and familiars are being absorbed directly as nourishment by the witches. Witches are becoming sharper and more pointed, with razor-sharp body parts. Their legs are slender, long, and pointed, resembling scissors driven into the ground.

Having rediscovered their true obsession, their very nature has changed.

Yuanxing's phone rang suddenly. She knew without a doubt who was calling. She answered and Hongshi's voice came through quickly: "[I was wrong before. A witch's obsession will be worn down if it's not replenished. The reason Lingling's mother's witch form can keep reviving is because she constantly replenishes her obsession with her own willpower to suppress the obsession that wants to harm Lingling. That's why her obsession doesn't disappear; instead, it grows stronger.]"

"But things are different now. Lingling's mother won't replenish her killing intent, so as long as we defeat her one more time, we can eliminate the witch?"

Yes, that's exactly it.

Yuanxing felt a surge of power within her, and her earlier frustration vanished instantly, for the path to victory was now right before her.

Yuanxing hung up the phone: "Everyone! This is the last battle. If we defeat this witch, we can bring Lingling's mother back!"

In the mental world just now, Yuanxing also saw the memories of Lingling's mother before she fainted. Lingling's mother didn't know why she picked up the scissors and appeared in Lingling's room. She only knew that she had almost committed the most serious mistake because she was driven mad by jealousy, and in order to avoid making that serious mistake, she chose to end her own life.

When that feeling disappears, Lingling's mother will naturally return to normal.

"I'll take the lead!"

Farstar didn't wait for her friends' response and charged straight at the witch. She'd practiced her reflexes and speed after being hit by a jeep three days prior, and now, feeling suppressed, she needed to vent. And for a magical girl, the best way to vent is to bombard monsters with magic cannons! No one would complain while she was attacking monsters, and she could openly destroy the city.

Chapter 45 Forty-Five Loves Will Always Win

At the edge of the battlefield, Anlian sat on her prepared recliner, watching the witch's battle unfold. The fight was nearing its end. The witch had displayed true obsession and could no longer nullify the magical girls' attacks as before; her purification was only a matter of time.

"The plan failed," Anlian said, her eyes filled with emotion rather than disappointment, tears streaming down her face. "To suppress the murderous intent in her heart, she fell into a deep sleep, and to control that intent, she artificially created another kind of obsession. This self-created false obsession will not dissipate; it will always exist, allowing the witch to be resurrected after being defeated. She is quite powerful among witches. Unfortunately, even such a witch cannot carry out my plan. It seems that this time, we will need an even stronger witch."

"But I'm not discouraged. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to the scene of her waking up and reuniting with her daughter. It's a scene that makes me happy just by imagining it. That's love. Although love sometimes brings tears, you know that love always wins."

One after another, eyes appeared beside An Lian, and laughter and songs filled the air: "True love conquers all, true love conquers all!"

“Now it’s time for the next plan. Next time it will definitely succeed, and we will defeat all the magical girls. Then—” She turned to the direction of the magical girls: “I will win for you, for us, and only for our happiness.”

Love will always prevail, love will always prevail, I know, I know.

“Elf,” Anlian snapped her fingers, “I wish that humans don’t need to remember witches, that they can forget them.”

“Anlian is so compassionate! This is to prevent everyone from living in fear of witches, right? Such a benevolent purpose doesn’t require any wishes; we will fulfill it for you.”

"Thank you, but that's not what I thought. I just feel that if humans know about witches, they might reject magical girls, and it would be a waste of effort to deal with them."

"What an honest person! You should be granted three more wishes!"

The elves soared up and down, praising in unison, emphasizing unanimous affirmation.

The battle against the witch is nearing its end. Having lost her desire to perform, the witch has also lost the ability to command her familiars. She has transformed from a lord-type witch capable of destroying humanity into a lone-wolf witch who can only slowly whittle down her enemies. Although her individual combat abilities have been greatly enhanced, giving her a greater advantage in one-on-one battles, however…

How can a witch skilled in one-on-one combat fight against hundreds of fully armed magical girls in the paradise? Previous attacks on the witch were completely ineffective because she distributed the damage she received to her other familiars. Tens of thousands of familiars were not bothered by these attacks when they were all sharing the damage. But now that the witch has become a one-woman fighter, she is powerless to fight back.

So Yuanxing charged forward first. At this point, there was no point in talking about formations. If she didn't take the initiative and launch an attack, the other magical girls would get there first! Because of Yuanxing's initiative, the magical girls in the park were also aroused and quickly began to attack, suppressing the witch in the blink of an eye.

Farstar roamed freely amidst the magic, thanks to her training in dodging jeeps. She paid no attention to the magic and was able to calmly deal with it with the most composed mindset.

Under the relentless attacks of the magical girls, the witch was once again broken down into its most basic magical energy, and the original magical girl who constituted the witch fell from the sky. Farstar had been waiting for this moment; before the other magical girls could react, she rushed forward, caught the girl, and then turned and flew away at high speed.

Now that this matter is resolved, it's time to move on to the next one!

Logically, Lingling's mother should be handed over to Lingling first, but turning around and leaving would be bad for Lingling; at least a few words should be said. If Lingling becomes very emotional and wants to throw herself into her arms and cry, she will be even less able to act, since she can't push Lingling away to go find her senior. (Wife's Deletion of Phosphorus (Nine) + Private Message)

But she couldn't accept not going to see Qianchan. She wanted to find Qianchan no matter what, no matter what happened.

So Yuanxing came up with the ultimate solution: instead of handing Lingling's mother over to Lingling, she would take Lingling's mother to pursue Senior Qianchan. Wouldn't that solve all the problems?!

Yuanxing flew at full speed towards Qianchan's location.

The members of the Farstar Team had their eyes almost entirely on Farstar. They noticed almost immediately that she had broken away from the battle and was flying off in a certain direction, so they naturally gave chase. In their view, this was perfectly normal. If they left Lingling's mother, who had transformed into a witch, behind, it would be troublesome if she were taken away by Paradise. They definitely needed to find a place far away from Paradise to land.

only···

Farstar, you're flying way too fast! And you're flying way too far! Where are you going?!

From the distant star's perspective, Qianchan could be sensed to be more than two kilometers away, one kilometer away, and only five hundred meters away.

Qianchan spotted her and started to run away!

Yuanxing realized she had miscalculated. She was carrying someone, and because of the weight, her movement speed was not as fast as Qianchan's. No matter how fast she flew, she could only watch as the distance between Qianchan and her grew further and further.

"Senior!!!" Yuanxing shouted towards Qianchan's figure, "We're going to start a company! Everyone's serious! Nobody's just playing around!"

Qianchan glanced back at her, but ultimately neither stopped nor replied.

Yuanxing simply continued to plead: "You can rely on us a little more, a little more, a little more!!!"

By the time she finished shouting these words, Qianchan had already disappeared.

Damn it! We failed!

After losing contact with Qianchan, Yuanxing had no choice but to give up the chase and land on the roof of a tall building.

It took several dozen seconds for the other friends to catch up. After landing on the rooftop, everyone except Lingling was panting heavily.

Qingyin raised her hand to Yuanxing and exclaimed, "You're amazing! You're really amazing! I've been a magical girl for a while now, and this is the first time I've ever felt that flying is such a terrifying thing! Watching so many buildings rushing towards me, my heart was about to jump out of my chest!"

Qingyin isn't stupid; she can fly much higher than a building. But knowing is one thing, being afraid is another, just like how horror movies are fake but that doesn't stop her from being afraid.

"Have it?"

Yuanxing scratched his head: "It must be because of the training. The tall buildings won't really hit me, but the jeeps will. After being hit by jeeps a few times, I'll be able to handle this kind of high-speed flight. Ah, when we get back, let Sister Hongshi help you train too, and let jeeps hit you."

You're right. I'm not qualified. I don't need to fly that fast, and I certainly don't need to get hit by a jeep.

You're really something else. You got caught in the rain yourself, so you want everyone else to get caught in it with you.

Chapter 46. I am overjoyed to see fellow fans; fans should feel the same way when they see fellow fans.

When Lingling's mother woke up, it was already the next day. She had lost many memories, such as the murderous intent and feelings of failure. Many negative memories had disappeared. She only remembered that she had done a lot of foolish things, but she couldn't remember the specifics. She only remembered that now that she had been given a second life, almost like a rebirth, she should be even more positive and optimistic.

The mother and daughter embraced and wept. Yuanxing and the others felt there was no need to disturb them, so they left the room.

Yuanxing and the others went to the coffee shop as usual, only to find that the coffee shop they remembered had changed quite a bit. The original coffee shop was more like a room than a hall, with only a small space besides the bar. But now it had truly become a coffee shop, with about twenty seats besides the bar where coffee and other drinks were made, and several seats were already occupied.

"This is?"

"In order to fight against the witches and the Paradise, the magical girls belonging to MomoMomo must also increase their combat power. However, unifying the magical girls would go against MomoMomo's own principles, so we've set up a common hall, and how you all get along is up to fate."

"Sister Hongshi, your strategy is not what a mature adult should do."

“I am a nine-year-old girl, and I shouldn’t act like a mature adult.”

Yuanxing felt that he had many questions.

Ye Liu also said, "Everyone saw it. Remember, when you grow up, never become an adult like that."

Miss Crimson World was unconcerned: "You saw Lingling's mother too. She lost many memories, and those memories are all related to her obsessions. A magical girl with a certain strong emotion can become a witch by sublimating that emotion. When a witch is defeated, she loses the emotion she used to sublimate, because a witch's power is obtained by burning her memories."

"Isn't that great? It can burn away those painful memories, allowing us to embrace life better and live a more positive and joyful life in the future."

"Hmph, it seems you don't understand at all. But it's better that you don't understand, it's best if you don't understand."

"So what is it?"

"You'll understand when you understand, and you won't understand even if I explain it to you when you don't."

"Get out of here, riddle teller!"

Hongshi glared at Yuanxing and reached out to hit him, but Yuanxing already knew what he was going to say that would get him a beating, and had already hidden behind Yeliu. Yeliu, as a fully-fledged human, could also double as a strong meat shield, and would protect Yuanxing no matter what. Hongshi didn't care much at first, and after a few exchanges, he chose to give up and continue to entangle him.

As they were talking, Lingling ran out from inside and crashed into Yuanxing's arms. She hugged him tightly, and a sob came through as she murmured, "What should I give you? I'll give you anything, everything I have."

It seems there's nothing else I can give besides people, right? I have no way to repay such a great kindness, except to offer myself in gratitude! I understand! I understand! This is the only right path; any other development is completely unacceptable!

Miss Hongshi was in high spirits, while Miss Qingyin stared intently, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Ye Liu was conflicted. She felt she should take some action, but she didn't know what to do. She also felt that Yuan Xing was quite happy, and that taking action would be too hasty; it was better to remain silent and observe. Feeling increasingly agitated, Ye Liu simply dragged Qing Yin and Mi You away to keep them out of the way.

Yuanxing simply held Lingling close, gently patting her back: "I don't need anything. Lingling's happiness is my happiness, and Lingling's pain is my pain. I just want to know, does Lingling find being a magical girl enjoyable?"

"Yes, it's so much fun being a magical girl with Yuanxing, so very fun."

"That's good, that's the best response Lingling could give me."

This kid is so knowledgeable!

Hong Shi felt a little embarrassed that she was the only one watching the excitement. Fortunately, Ye Liu didn't dare to drag her away, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see the excitement.

Yuanxing quickly realized Hongshi's presence and grabbed Lingling's hand: "Alright, let's not stay here and let Hongshi watch the show. Now that the witch-slaying is over, the most important thing is to deal with the company's affairs. Let's go over there and discuss it properly."

"Speaking of company matters."

Hong Shichao beckoned to Yuanxing, signaling her to come over.

Seeing that Yuanxing still had some things to do, Lingling went ahead to meet up with him by herself.

Seeing that no one else was around, Hong Shi suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Lingling likes you a lot, Yeliu probably likes you a lot too, and then there's Qianchan."

Yuanxing didn't quite understand what Hongshi was talking about, so she even added, "Taoying likes me a lot too, and Miyou likes me a lot too. She always acts cute towards me. Everyone likes me, and I'm very happy. I really like that everyone likes me."

This child is incredibly discerning!

Hongshi tried to ask further: "Yes, yes, that's it. If everyone likes you, don't you think there's a problem?"

"What's the problem? I welcome fellow fans, so those who like me should also welcome fellow fans, right?"

I am overjoyed to see fellow fans, and fans should feel the same way when they see fellow fans.
