Is it only magical girls?

I'm so happy! We've only met once, but they still remember me!

Yuanxing asked cautiously, "What are you doing here?"

She was very worried that Yu Ying had come for Ling Xing's sake. After all, Ling Xing had threatened Hong Shi Jie, and Hong Shi Jie would tolerate Ling Xing's outrageous behavior. But Yu Ying was different; she would most likely regard Ling Xing as some kind of demon and execute her. Although An Lian had been defeated by the Death Witch that Ling Ling had transformed into, it was ultimately an encounter battle. In a real, head-on confrontation, Yuan Xing still wasn't very confident.

[I don't know, but my beloved disciples have been constantly calling to me, seeking me, and yearning for me, so I have come as promised. Come, tell me your troubles, and whatever they may be, I will do my best to help you.]

Yu Ying spoke slowly and gently, her attitude intimate and kind. No matter how you looked at her, she seemed like a considerate and caring older sister, making people want to confide their troubles to her.

Yuanxing felt he should ask a question first: "Why are you like this?"

[Nothing special. I just need to use a little trick to keep Anlian from finding me. Video calling is my trick; there are no magical fluctuations, so no matter how long I chat with you, Anlian won't be able to detect me, and naturally, she won't come over to cause trouble. It's really great; a good era has arrived.]

Then there was another silence, and no one spoke first.

Yu Ying broke the silence first: "It seems you haven't reached an agreement yet. I'll contact you again in half an hour."

Then Yu Ying disappeared. The instant she vanished, the little girl from the cult burst forth, countless rays of light shooting towards the distant star, seemingly about to complete the attack they had failed to accomplish last time. However, before the light could reach the distant star, Ling Ling grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her into the air.

"Don't mess around."

After being scolded by Lingling, the little girl pouted with a wronged look on her face.

Yuanxing looked at her, puzzled: "Wasn't it Lingling who locked you up? Why are you only yelling at me and not at Lingling?"

"You are a traitor who deceived our god and turned to evil. Her Majesty the Holy Maiden is a believer who was seduced, deceived, and blinded by you. How can you be compared?" The little girl bared her teeth and brandished her claws. Even though Lingling had completely controlled her, she did not show the slightest weakness. She looked fiercely at Yuanxing and said, "I will definitely expose your true colors as a heretic! I will let the Pope and the Holy Maiden see through your filthy and vile true nature!"

The little girl is quite fierce.

Yuanxing flicked the little girl's forehead hard with his finger, making her cry out in pain.

Yuanxing was very satisfied with this and let out a cheerful laugh.

Huh?

Miyou stared wide-eyed at Yuanxing's actions. His behavior was completely unexpected; she never imagined their leader was this type! He was confidant to older women, but a mere finger-pointer to younger girls—a clear indication of how Lingxing was usually treated. Especially since Lingxing liked Hongshi-jie, and if she tried to get closer to Hongshi-jie…

"It can't be what I'm thinking, can it..."

Miyou walked over to the little girl, took her from Lingling's arms and sat her on a chair. She then took out a silk scarf and handed it to the little girl, letting her see it herself.

Mi Youchao said to Yuanxing, "Don't bully that little girl."

Yuanxing said nonchalantly, "If she doesn't provoke me, I definitely won't bully her. Besides, it was just a flick on the forehead, how can that be considered bullying?"

Qingyin said, "It's not bullying, it's just that you're not like this when you're with the older sister, it's a bit beyond my expectations."

Chapter 183. Option 1 is to seek my help; option 2 is for you to discuss it further.

Yuanxing refocused his attention on the present and asked Lingling, "Lingling, what are you thinking? You were the one who called Yuying, you should have some thoughts on this, right?"

Lingling shook her head in confusion: "I didn't call her, I..." Lingling frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head again: "I don't know what happened, I have no memory of it."

"Your Excellency, according to the Pope, it happened last night, around seven o'clock."

Ye Liu said, "If you don't remember after you went home, Ling Ling, then your memory has been altered, just like ours in the loop. It seems that your house has some kind of magic set up that can make you lose your memory when you come out. The existence of such magic means that Ling Xing is currently in your house."

For a moment, there was complete silence.

"what happened?"

The only response to the night's flow was still silence.

After a long pause, Qingyin said, "I didn't expect that you, Yeliu, who seems a bit slow, could come up with such an answer in the blink of an eye?!"

"You're the stupid one," Ye Liu frowned. "Your exam scores are below mine, how dare you call me stupid?"

Qingyin felt a little suffocated, so Ye Liu used this sentence to shut her up, and after being shut up, she couldn't refute it and could only endure it.

Qianchan said, "Since I'm the oldest, I'll speak. I didn't expect that Yeliu, who usually seems a bit slow, could come up with the answer in the blink of an eye. It's really beyond my expectations."

Ye Liu glared at her, trembling with anger: "Hmph, you just wait. You haven't been to school for a long time, so there's a huge difference in study time between you and me. I'll definitely surpass you this year and show you what I'm capable of."

Qingyin chuckled. She used to see this scene often, but she stopped seeing it after she formed the magic club and focused more on it.

As soon as Ye Liu saw Qing Yin grinning foolishly, he immediately turned his attention to her: "What are you laughing at? Is all your energy focused on magical girls? Your grades have dropped recently, haven't they? My teacher even complained to me about it. I hope you don't end up like Nami, the type who has to go to the archives in the middle of the night to change your grades."

pain.

Qingyin turned her head and pretended not to hear what Yeliu said. Qingyin's grades were not bad either, only slightly behind Qianchan and Yeliu, but she was still considered an excellent student.

The first-year high school students are also suffering. The best student among them is Yuanxing, but her grades are slightly lower than Qingyin's. Although she's considered an excellent student, she's definitely not good enough for Yeliu, who will obviously demand more of her. This just doesn't make sense! She's already a magical girl, she's already saved the world, she already has an elf, yet she still needs to study hard!

Ye Liu continued, "The same goes for Yuanxing. The exam is approaching, so it's best to focus on studying after this incident is over."

"Yes."

The little girl's attitude softened considerably as she watched their conversation: "Hey, the cult is like that too."

Miyu sighed, "We're all the same."

Qingyin increasingly felt that Yeliu was a genius. She deliberately brought up the issue of grades not because she really cared about grades, but to get closer to the little girl. After all, the thing that children empathize with the most is academic performance.

If Ye Liu did it on purpose, then she will definitely continue to dominate the situation!

Ye Liu then asked the little girl, "What's your name? Do you go to school in the cult? What is the cult like?"

Look!

The little girl, feeling a surge of goodwill because of what had just happened, was willing to answer Ye Liu's question: "Fufu, our cult is much better than this paradise. We can take whatever we want directly from the unmanned supermarket, and it's all free. Here, you have to pay, and the cult doesn't even have money. It makes me constantly have to rob the rich to help the poor, which is really troublesome."

Robin Hood-like figures, who are the poor?

The answer is Fufu, which means that the essence of this Robin Hood-style robbing of the rich to help the poor is robbery and plunder.

Ye Liu continued, "Did Yu Ying tell you about what happened last night?"

"The Pope said she sensed that the Holy Maiden was seeking her help, but after she dialed the number, the Holy Maiden answered and then hung up, and then refused to answer the phone."

"Have we been discovered? Or is it—"

Lingling interrupted, "She must have called me 'disciple,' so I hung up."

As expected of Lingling, it's not surprising at all that Lingling did this; in fact, it's quite reasonable for her to do such a thing precisely because she is Lingling.

Ye Liu had a new guess: "Ling Ling, you resist Yu Ying so much, yet you want to seek Yu Ying's help, is it because—" Ye Liu stopped abruptly, considering that Yu Ying might be spying, so she deliberately omitted the key part: "What did she say to you?"

Although Hong Shijie was omitted, everyone knew the situation and felt that what Ye Liu said was highly likely.

Ye Liu added, "She doesn't know that you have a relationship with Yu Ying, so the person she's referring to is probably not Yu Ying, but the person we can find most easily."

In other words, the person Hong Shijie asked them to seek help from was An Lian! To be honest, An Lian is the safest option. After all, she didn't run any cult or carry out any massacres against the Old Council. At most, she just created some evil forces to lash out at Hong Shijie. Overall, she poses the least threat. At most, she's just a gang leader.

【Time is up.】

Yu Ying reconnected and reappeared on the tablet: [Well? You've decided to ask me for help, haven't you?]

“Well,” Yuanxing said, “we think we should try to do something ourselves first, and if that really doesn’t work—”

It's okay, it seems you haven't reached an agreement yet. I can wait patiently for you.

"Eh?"

Yuanxing sensed something was off: "What you're saying is like..."

【It's not just a matter of "seems". I'll give you two options: option one is to seek my help, and option two is for you to discuss it further.】

Yu Ying smiled, a smile like ripples on water, gentle as a drizzle, softer than a spring breeze, but the essence hidden beneath remained unchanged, an unyielding tenderness and kindness.

How terrifying!!! Just thinking about it makes me scared. She must have been smiling so gently when she slaughtered the Old Council at Dusk, right? Maybe it was even more terrifying in the end. She was hiding in the Old Council, pretending to be a victim, and trying to frame someone else, but she was exposed by accident.

After all, taking matters into her own hands would lower Sister Hong's favorability; it would definitely be more effective to frame someone else.

Yuanxing felt that he could only choose one option now. After all, choosing two meant considering it again and again, until the end of the world. In any case, if he didn't choose one option, he would never be able to move forward.

"It seems I have no choice but to ask Yu Ying for help."

"That's great!" Yu Ying exclaimed happily. "Through this incident, you'll clearly see that I'm trustworthy, and then you'll build a strong friendship."

Chapter 184 The 184th Orthodox Cult

Now that we've decided to ask Yu Ying for help, we should naturally tell her everything.

However, considering that Yu Ying is Hong Shi Jie's colleague, and all of Hong Shi Jie's colleagues are crazy women who occasionally go crazy towards Hong Shi Jie, if Yu Ying knew that there was someone like her going crazy towards Hong Shi Jie, and that she wasn't immediately punished after going crazy, it might cause Yu Ying to go crazy as well.

Therefore, the specific reasons must be kept hidden.

This matter is very simple; without anyone pointing it out, everyone present knows it perfectly well.

Lingling spoke first: "This matter concerns my daughter—"

Yu Ying's expression instantly turned fierce: [Wait a minute! You're only sixteen, right?! How do you already have a daughter?! Whose child is she?! I'm going to kill her!]

Yuanxing suddenly looked up: "Huh?!"

The bell pointed to a distant star.

Yu Ying's attitude softened slightly, but her expression remained serious, and she continued to criticize: "You two are only sixteen years old. How can you bear the responsibility for someone else's entire life? You have to shoulder the weight of a naive and ignorant person's life, to teach her what love is, how to love, and why to love—"

Ye Liu hurriedly interrupted: "The child of the future."

[Oh,] Yu Ying understood: [That's indeed not really relevant to you. There are magical girls who travel back in time after obtaining spirits, and we can't deny the legitimacy of their wishes. Especially since the wish to travel back in time isn't so serious, it's much better than that time loop, right?]

Yuanxing nodded vigorously, pretending that she wasn't the one who did this bad thing at all: "Indeed, indeed."

Lingling continued, "My daughter seems to be being controlled. She's wearing a diamond crown and a sun belt. I want to know if there's any way to break the control."

[A diamond crown? A sun belt?]

Yuanxing asked, "We want to know what kind of ancient relic it is, how to break the control, and who exactly is controlling Lingxing."

"I don't recall any such ancient artifact, and since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, determining its nature is a bit tricky. How about this: you come to the Order, so I can use it freely. I can't go to Paradise; if Anlian finds out, she'll cause trouble, and then no one will have time to help you."

Yuanxing said, "Going to the cult would be a bit..."

[It's a bit much to ask of you to say that all of a sudden,] Yu Ying nodded: [Then please think about it some more, I'll be back later—]

What's there to consider? If you think about it more, Yu Ying will disappear for a while and then come out to ask them how they've thought it through. If they haven't thought it through, they can think about it some more. Once they've thought it through and feel that the cult is okay to join, they don't need to think about it anymore.

So everyone said without hesitation, "No need to think about it anymore, let's set off now."

【These are such wonderful kids, so enthusiastic! I love enthusiastic kids like you. Looking forward to seeing you all!】

The communication has ended.

Only the somewhat dumbfounded magical girls remained.

Qingyin asked first, "Can't she teleport us directly over a long distance? Sister Hongshi always teleports us back to the Demon Realm directly over a long distance, can't she do that?"

Fufu blushed instantly: "It's not a short distance! That kind of distance! To be teleported from a distance to my side! Of course, the Pope of Magic could do that too! But there's no need to waste magic power!"

The little girl's hesitant explanation was rather amusing, and Mi You, in a playful mood, pressed further: "But Sister Hong Shi does, right?"

“Of course!” the little girl declared confidently. “That’s a god! A god among men! An all-powerful and merciful Lord who descended to earth!”

Miyou pressed further, "Didn't you realize that your speech was incoherent?"

“I didn’t remember the prayer.”

This answer is perfectly reasonable.

Yuanxing didn't want Miyou to waste time chatting and joking with Fufu, so she asked, "How do we get to the Order? How does Fufu usually get here?"

"Of course it's a bus. The religious order regularly sends mission buses to Paradise to preach and then guide believers to the religious order."

100% cult-like practices!

Fufu continued, "However, I didn't come here by bus today. I was teleported here by the cult leader. So if you want to go to the cult, you must come with me to our base and then the base will arrange a motorhome to take you to the cult."

"Where is your base?"

"In the demon realm."

Ok?

Yuanxing picked at her ears, thinking she had been too nervous and was hallucinating. She decided to ask again to clarify: "You just said where your base is?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't I say it's in MoMoMo? The MoMoMo you guys always go to?"

Yuanxing felt that there was a small universe in her head, which was growing infinitely, bringing her more troubles and confusion. She felt that all the knowledge she had absorbed in the past was exploding and dissipating in an instant and then being reassembled.

Yuanxing pressed further, "Did Sister Hongshi agree to the cult establishing a base in Momomo?"

“How could that be?” Fufu rolled her eyes at Yuanxing. “We set up our base under a pseudonym. Momomo is a completely laissez-faire organization. Even if we set up a base there, nobody would care. Besides, the magical girls from Paradise won’t come near, so they won’t be able to find our base. The cult just preaches, entertains followers, listens to their troubles, gets them to accept the cult’s ideology, and then sends them to the cult to receive training and become followers. After proper training, the followers can return to Paradise and continue to preach to more people.”

This is a perfect example of a cult! No matter how you look at it, it's a cult!

But now they can only join forces with the Asaka Cult, not just because of Rin, but more because of the person controlling Rin. If no one is behind Rin, Crimson Sister probably wouldn't want to seek help from other colleagues.
