Is it only magical girls?

As she said this, the little girl pointed to the castle, which was clearly a luxury castle suite.

This place is completely different from what Yuanxing imagined...

In her imagination, the alchemists' gathering place was a solitary castle. She was already surprised to see that it was a small town, and even more so when the little girl acting as her guide told her that the castle was actually a hotel. The castle was the residence and property of the alchemist clan, and now this castle was being used as a hotel to accommodate guests. Yuanxing felt a sense of the poverty of the alchemist clan.

"Then let's stay in the castle."

The reason they chose to stay in the castle was not only because they had never stayed in a castle before and were eager to try it, but also because Qianchan's location was on the other side of the castle, and maybe the place she was staying was the castle hotel.

Upon arriving at the castle, at the receptionist's suggestion, they chose a large, luxurious suite on the fourth floor, large enough to accommodate six people. This room, originally used by the head of the family, remained incredibly valuable; the price for one night was enough to cover a month's work at Momomo. Looking at the price, Yuanxing retracted her earlier comment about the poverty of the alchemist clan; she now only felt her own poverty. Although Sister Hongshi didn't interfere, Yuanxing still hoped she could reimburse the accommodation costs.

After settling their luggage and seeing off the tour guide, the Far Star team was about to move on to the next step: capturing Qianchan, who was living in the castle.

First of all, it is certain that Qianchan lives in this castle. Qingyin has used the white doves to pinpoint her location, and Qianchan is in a single room on the second floor of the castle.

To capture Qianchan, the first step is to set up an ambush.

Ye Liu and Tao Ying hovered outside the window of Qian Chan's single room, ensuring that they would stop her if she tried to escape through the window. The way to stop her was naturally to knock her back.

Qingyin controlled the little white dove to stand directly outside the window, openly monitoring Qianchan's every move and ensuring that Qianchan's reaction was communicated to everyone immediately.

Yuanxing stood outside the door, where she was to open it later and ensure that Qianchan would be too shocked to take immediate action when she saw her, thus giving Lingling and Miyou as much time as possible to act.

Lingling and Miyou were right outside the door. The former used a barrier magic, and the latter used a magic-sealing bullet. Whichever side hit Qianchan, they could completely secure the victory.

Mi You was panting heavily, anxious about what was to come. After all, she had never hit a person before when shooting. Would she really hit Qian Chan this time? If Ling Ling's barrier magic hit, that would be fine, but if the barrier magic missed, what would she be doing?

Yuanxing noticed her anxiety and patted Miyou's head: "It's okay if you miss. Missing every shot is Miyou's personal characteristic, and I quite like it."

Mi You shook her head with a wry smile.

"Three seconds to go."

Following Qingyin's command, everyone's attention became extremely focused, preparing to launch the final operation.

"three."

"two."

"one!"

Yuanxing suddenly flung the door open: "Senior! Room service!"

Qianchan, who happened to be standing in front of the door, was only surprised. In that instant, Lingling and Miyu, who had been hiding behind the wall, appeared and attacked Qianchan. Lingling's weapon was a barrier branded onto playing cards. The playing cards spun and flew towards Qianchan, who almost instinctively dodged the attack to the side. However, she was hit squarely between the eyebrows by Miyu's magic-sealing bullet, instantly rendering her unable to cast magic.

Farstar cheered, "Honey Ghost, 100 points!"

"I fucking shot the pigeon." (II) Yi San Wu Ni Cu Liu San

Unable to teleport away after losing her magic, Qianchan quickly turned to escape through the window, but what she saw was Yeliu and Taoying rushing in after shattering the glass with a flying kick. With her defenses blocked from all sides and unable to teleport, Qianchan had no chance of escape.

"Qianchan!"

Lingling called out loudly, and Qianchan looked in the direction of her voice and saw Lingling hugging Yuanxing and kissing her cheek passionately.

Yuanxing was completely dumbfounded. She never expected Lingling to take such action at this time. She just stood there, stunned, letting Lingling's tongue pry open her teeth and invade her mouth with unbridled force, sending over the rich banana flavor little by little.

It was obvious that Ling Ling had planned this all along; she had even just eaten banana-flavored gum!

It took Yuanxing more than ten seconds to react. He shoved Lingling away to prevent her from suffocating to death here today.

Qianchan bit her lower lip tightly, regret, jealousy, annoyance, confusion, and twisted emotions constantly swirling in her heart.

"I've always wanted to see that expression on your face, that jealous look on your face."

Chapter 106 You really only think about yourself!

Qianchan was speechless, she didn't know what to say anymore. All her words had turned to dust, all her thoughts had turned to ashes.

Never before had she felt so sorrowful about the future; she felt a profound sense of being torn apart from the distant stars. She had anticipated this before, she thought she was prepared, she thought she could bear it, but when reality confronted her, she found herself utterly vulnerable.

Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed, the pain causing her to lose her composure. Qianchan looked around, searching for an escape route.

Do you want to lose everything?

Lingling's question resonated in Qianchan's heart. At this moment, she had nowhere to retreat, because she had no right to stay.

Yuanxing hurriedly said, "I asked Sister Hongshi. She said that the person who set up the trap on the magic tower was Yuying, the founder of the Chaoxia Cult, and had nothing to do with Aunt Yuehuai, so you don't need to worry about it, senior."

Although it was Aunt Yuehuai who prevented Yuying from getting into the crisis, it wasn't Yuehuai's fault in the end, so there's no need to delve into it further.

"I···"

Qianchan had a lot to say, but she only uttered one word before falling silent again.

Yuanxing looked at her companions: "Could I have some time alone with my senior? She might be able to talk more if I'm alone with her."

This was a thought that everyone had, but no one brought it up or took any action. The question was, what if Yuanxing was allowed to talk to Qianchan alone, but failed to keep an eye on her and she escaped again?

Yuanxing had a sliver of confidence: "Senior won't run away again this time, right?"

After hearing what Yuanxing said, his companions slowly withdrew.

Lingling was the last to leave because she had something to say: "I don't care about any dangerous things, or whether you think others are just playing around, or any difficult roads, or whether you feel ashamed to stay in the Demon Demon Demon. I don't understand any of it. It's all your own opinion. You really only think about yourself. If you run away again this time and make Yuanxing sad, I will help you end all worldly troubles when we meet next time."

After saying that, Lingling closed the door, leaving Qianchan somewhat dumbfounded.

It took Qian Chan a while to react: "Was she like this before?!"

“Ling Ling has grown a lot too,” Yuan Xing said seriously. “Before, Ling Ling was like a hedgehog, not very likely to attack. Now she’s like a porcupine, not only will she attack, but she will also concentrate her firepower on people she hates.”

"Naling Ling seems to dislike me."

"Although she hates her senior now, it won't be long before she realizes that it's just a misunderstanding."

Yuanxing raised his hand and removed Qianchan's sealed state, allowing her to freely cast spells, which also meant that Qianchan could use teleportation to escape again.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you have to let me finish what I have to say, okay?"

"Even if I force you to stay, you'll still feel pain, right? Even though you know you'll be scorned, misunderstood, and resented, you chose to bear it all alone. I don't want you to suffer. Your pain is my pain, but conversely, your smile is my smile."

"How long will it take you to finish dealing with what you want to do on your own, senior? But I think that time is just a little bit compared to the time we've spent together, and it's even less than the time we're about to go through. So just do what you want to do. When you come back, I'll give you the warmest hug and present you with flowers that symbolize victory."

Tears instantly streamed down Qianchan's face. She hugged Yuanxing tightly, initially sobbing softly but quickly turning into a wail: "It's not like that, it's not like that. I'm just scared. I'm scared that this place is no longer a safe haven for me. I wanted to stay last time, at least to get through this difficult time with you. I'm just afraid that I don't deserve it."

"I will always wait for you."

Yuanxing gently patted Qianchan's back and whispered words of comfort. It took a while for Qianchan to calm down.

Seeing that Qianchan had calmed down a bit, Yuanxing said, "Let's exchange information first. What is Senior Qianchan planning to do in this alchemy castle?"

"I thought I could investigate information about our ancestors here."

“I know,” Yuanxing said. “Aunt Yuehuai was one of the six original magical girls who saved humanity from the brink of extinction during the apocalypse. Besides her, there was Sister Hongshi, Miss Anlian from Paradise, and the founder of the Asaka Cult, Yuying. I didn’t ask about the other two, since I’m not really interested.”

“This is it.”

"And the person you were talking to at the research institute was also Anlian, right? Sister Hongshi was very certain that it was Anlian. Also, although at least three of the original six have become dragons after being dragon slayers, Sister Hongshi is very safe, secure and stable. After all, Sister Hongshi's biggest wish is to retire."

"Really."

Qianchan was somewhat frustrated, as she discovered that Yuanxing possessed more information than she did.

She knew nothing about things like the original magical girl still being alive and secretly manipulating humans. Although she had investigated some things, such as the park periodically releasing monsters, periodically stimulating the evil thoughts in people's hearts to create monsters, and secretly conducting monster experiments to create stronger monsters, she simply assumed that the park had deviated from its course during its long operation.

Qianchan chuckled, a bitter smile at how things had turned out this way, and a self-mocking smile. She had tried her best to explore, but what she had gained was far less than what Yuanxing had achieved.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is, so that's what happened, hahaha."

Qianchan's mocking, bitter, and sarcastic laughter vanished suddenly, leaving only joy and relief in her laughter.

This sudden change in mood made Yuanxing especially worried: "Senior sister?"

"nothing."

Qianchan shook her head: "I just feel really stupid. It seems like I've done something, but in reality, I haven't accomplished anything. It's so stupid of me to think I can achieve things on my own. It's ridiculous."

"You chose this difficult path yourself."

“That’s not it,” Qianchan shook her head. “It’s not that I chose the difficult path. I didn’t need to fight witches, I didn’t need to gain Hongshi’s trust, and I didn’t need to fight against Anlian, who transformed into a magical girl. I was just lurking in the shadows. The path I chose before was the easy and shortcut.”

call···

Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief; she had performed exceptionally well this time! In fact, she had exceeded expectations!

This is something she learned from spending time with Lingling not long ago: if you keep chasing after someone, they will only get away from you. But if you stop chasing them completely, it might have a surprising effect!

But reality proved that it had a remarkable effect.

Qianchan, I agree!

Chapter 107 Responsible for what?

Since Qianchan has decided to stay, she naturally needs to apologize to her companions properly.

Yuanxing opened the door and found her friends eavesdropping happily, even using magic, so they probably heard everything that was said.

After seeing Yuanxing open the door, the group stood up with embarrassed expressions, but quickly returned to normal. As team members, they all felt they had the right to eavesdrop and were perfectly at ease listening, only feeling a little awkward about being caught by Yuanxing.

"I'm so sorry, but perhaps an apology won't be enough to earn your forgiveness—"

Lingling interrupted, "No need to apologize. I think it's fine, otherwise my hope would be slim."

Wooaaaaah!!!

Yuanxing ran quickly towards Lingling, grabbed her hand, and ran further away. Only after confirming that she was in a position where Qianchan couldn't see or hear her did Yuanxing stop. Then she pressed Lingling against the wall, mimicking Lingling's previous actions.

It took Yuanxing several seconds to recover: "I often see this kind of thing on TV, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. It's even more dangerous than fighting a witch."

Lingling nodded, agreeing with Yuanxing's statement. She had never imagined that this behavior was so dangerous. It must be a perverted act of the two of them seeking the pleasure of death together. It seems that she can't learn everything from TV in the future.

"Stop bullying your senior."

"it is good."

Ling Ling nodded immediately. She didn't mean to provoke Qian Chan; she had just launched the attack instinctively. Now that Yuan Xing had made a request, she naturally had to act in accordance with it.

When Yuanxing returned with Lingling, they found that Qianchan was no longer there.

Miyou said, "Qianchan said she's going to the restroom for a little while."

"Oh, then I'll go too."

Yuanxing didn't hesitate for a moment before deciding to follow, even though she didn't know the exact location of the restroom, but that wasn't a problem.

But Qingyin disagreed. She grabbed Yuanxing's collar and gestured for her to follow.

Yuanxing didn't actually want to go to the restroom; she just wanted to find Qianchan. Now that Qingyin was looking for her, she naturally followed Qingyin to the corner.

Qingyin asked, "What should we do now?"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll have to take responsibility, won't you?"

"Responsible for? Responsible for what?"

"Of course, it's Qianchan and Lingling's situation."

Yuanxing said matter-of-factly, "Of course, everyone should be happy together. Aren't we all happy together now? There's also Yeliu, Qingyin, and Miyou. Everyone is reunited, so of course everyone should be happy together from now on. And of course, there's also Sister Taoying and Master. Everyone will be very happy."

That distant star...

Is he pretending to be stupid?

Qingyin sensed it and asked, "You mean to say that everyone is a good friend? But Lingling just kissed you, and it was a French kiss."

"It's normal for good friends to kiss. No, Lingling and I aren't just good friends, we're soulmates, so kissing is perfectly normal!"

Yuanxing blushed as she said this, but her attitude was firm and brooked no opposition; any dissenting opinion would elicit a fierce rebuttal from her.

Qingyin understood, she completely understood. Xiaoxing was burying her head in the sand like an ostrich, trying to muddle through as much as possible and delaying things for as long as possible.

Seeing that Qingyin had nothing to say, Yuanxing immediately ran back and happened to see Qianchan walking back.

To change the subject, Yuanxing quickly found a topic: "Senior, how many days have you been at the Alchemy Castle? Have you found any interesting information? Come on, let's go upstairs and talk about it slowly."

Yuanxing took Qianchan's hand and started walking upstairs, but she suddenly stopped, turned around and took Lingling's hand as well, leading them to the third floor. The other children naturally followed, and when they entered the room, they found Lingling and Qianchan sitting on either side of Yuanxing, looking like the bun and patty in a hamburger.

Qingyin admired Yuanxing for not feeling awkward at all while sitting in the middle, and for remaining calm and even smiling in an atmosphere that seemed ready to freeze at any moment. She could even leave Lingling and Qianchan on the sofa with one person between them and get up to get them drinks. This was no longer a question of whether or not she was into the sweet romance.

Because Qingyin is currently feeling scared, fearing that the two of them will start fighting on the spot and she will immediately transform into a witch.

However, her fears did not come true. After everyone arrived, Qianchan began to talk about her recent investigation into the alchemist clan: "The alchemists seem to be secretly preparing to summon the God of Darkness. The so-called God of Darkness is the god that the alchemists worshipped in ancient times. They believe that sunspots are proof that darkness has overwhelmed the sun, so the most powerful God of Darkness will be born in the sun."

"In fact, the alchemists have never given up on summoning the God of Darkness. Because they have invested too much wealth in summoning the God of Darkness but have never achieved results, the alchemists had to start commercializing their business. They moved to the top floor of the castle and used the remaining floors to build hotels to obtain the resources to continue summoning the God of Darkness. After commercialization, accumulating wealth became much easier, so they have recently planned to summon the God of Darkness once again."

That's terrible. It sounds like a gambler whose entire assets are tied up, so he can only keep betting more money. Unfortunately, he can't win any of his bets and ends up losing all his wealth.
