"I didn't expect Natsu to still be so energetic after all these years. Brandish.μ, help me stop him. If we don't intervene, we'll be in the sand!"

“Piece of cake! Shrink me!” Brandish.μ said as he began to use his magic.

Soon Natsu and the large rock behind him shrank and rolled down in front of Li Xiaoxi.

"Natsu, long time no see!" Li Xiaoxi said with a smile, looking at Natsu who was genuinely clueless.

"Xiao hope, how come you're so big? And when did you get back?"

"Brandish μ, please restore Natsu to his original state! He looks really awkward like this!"

"You're always ordering me around. Can't you restore him yourself?" Brandish.μ said this, but she restored Natsu to his original state the moment Li Xiaoxi spoke.

"This magic is really good. By the way, Nozomi, you still haven't said when you came back!" After Natsu returned to his original form, he first praised Brandish μ's magic, and then addressed the question he had asked earlier.

"I just arrived at the guild yesterday. How's your special training going? And where is everyone? Call them all over! I have something good for you!" Li Xiaoxi said with a smile.

“I feel my strength is increasing rapidly,” Natsu said, but Happy interrupted him before he could finish, “Natsu is lying, his magic power hasn’t increased much at all! Hey, Nozomi, is there any gift for me among the gifts you mentioned?”

“Happy, my magic power has clearly increased a lot, how can you say that I’ve only increased a little?” Natsu retorted.

"Alright, stop arguing. You should call everyone over first! I have a few things for you that can help you quickly improve your strength! Also, sorry, Happy, there's nothing for you here!"

"I knew it, I knew it! I, Happy, don't hold much weight in Xiao hope's heart!" Happy said, pretending to be hurt.

"Xiao hope, is what you said true? There really is something that can increase our strength!" Natsu confirmed immediately after hearing Li Xiao Xi's words.

"When have I ever lied? Go find everyone!" Li Xiaoxi said speechlessly.

"That's enough!"

After saying that, Natsu grabbed Happy, who was still feeling sad, and quickly left.

"Natsu hasn't changed at all!" Yukino said, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead as she watched Natsu leave quickly.

"Is this the strongest demon from the Book of End? It truly has the aura of a demon!" Brandish μ remarked after a brief encounter with Natsu.

"By the way, you must keep an eye on what we encountered in the Western Continent regarding Gray's father, understand?" Li Xiaoxi had to remind them again.

“Understood,” Yukino and Brandish μ replied simultaneously.

About two minutes later, Gray was the first to appear in front of Li Xiaoxi and the other two. Before he could even say a few words to Li Xiaoxi, Erza and Wendy also appeared.

Erza appeared directly in front of Li Xiaoxi using her Heavenly Armor. As for Lucy, Natsu carried her on his back.

A figure shot into the sky, bursting through the flames, unfurled its wings, and took flight.

She was a girl dressed in revealing bodysuits, with arms that looked like grotesque, scaly demonic hands. She also had bat-like wings and a crocodile-like tail on her back, and her hair stood straight up to the sky, making her appear extremely evil.

It was Mira, who had used a receiving spell to receive the soul of the demon Satan.

Following Mirajane was Lisana, who was dressed in a cat-like fur top and bottom, with cat ears on her head, a cat tail on her back, and her hands transformed into cat claws. She leaped away with extreme agility.

Another one is Elfman, whose arm has become extremely grotesque and terrifying, resembling the arm of a lizard, after he has received the soul of some unknown monster.

When Mirajane was some distance away from Li Xiaoxi, he canceled the rather unsightly act of receiving the Satanic Soul.

Looking at her friends whom she hadn't seen for several years, Li Xiaoxi was speechless for a moment, finally managing to say only, "We're back!"

After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, Natsu and Gray picked her up and threw her into the air, while Lucy, Wendy, Erza, and Lisana surrounded Yukino.

Mirajane watched Li Xiaoxi the whole time, his eyes filled with happiness.

Chapter 311 Happiness

Next, Li Xiaoxi gave the Book of End and the Ice Demon Slayer Magic to Natsu and Gray for their training. However, Li Xiaoxi only lent the Book of End to Natsu; she didn't dare to fully hand it over to him yet.

Soon only Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane remained at the scene. Yukino and the others knew that Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane needed some alone time, so they tactfully left.

Li Xiaoxi noticed that Mila's attire wasn't the usual princess dress that accentuated her gentle temperament, but rather a simple shirt and shorts, clearly chosen for ease of training.

Not only that, Mila's long, smooth white hair was tied into a ponytail with a hair tie, while her bangs hung freely down her forehead, swaying in the wind.

Looking at Mira like this, Li Xiaoxi smiled with a hint of nostalgia.

"I haven't seen you like this in a long time. You look exactly the same as when you were little."

When she was a child, Mila also liked to tie her hair in a single ponytail.

However, at that time, Mila dressed like a delinquent girl, exuding a rebellious vibe.

Now, Mila exudes a gentle, water-like tenderness in every move she makes, and even the smile on her face is quite sweet, a far cry from the mischievous girl she was as a child.

Under these circumstances, Mira tilted her head and said with a smile.

"But you're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

"I'm a little special... haha," Li Xiaoxi laughed awkwardly. After laughing, she said with emotion, "You've worked hard these past few years!"

“These are all things I should do. But what about you? What’s with that pretty girl following behind you?” Mirajane finally asked. Mirajane had sensed something was wrong when she saw Brandish.μ behind Li Xiaoxi. The way Brandish.μ looked at Li Xiaoxi now was exactly the same way she had looked at Li Xiaoxi before she became Li Xiaoxi’s girlfriend.

“Oh, she’s a partner I brought back from the Western Continent, and now she’s a member of Fairy Tail. Oh, and I also brought you a gift. Look, this is the new material I brought back for you!” Li Xiaoxi quickly took out Liang Tianyue Sera’s soul and handed it to Mirajane.

"I'll let it slide since you remembered me during the mission," Mirajane said, taking the soul of Liang Tianyue Sera that Li Xiaoxi had given her. After sensing the extremely powerful magic within it, she kissed Li Xiaoxi on the cheek.

"By the way, Li Xiaoxi, you didn't know, did you? Kana and Gildarts are actually father and daughter!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoxi said in a slightly off-kilter voice, surprised.

"What did you say?"

"Kana and Gildarts are father and daughter, that's true," Mirajane repeated. "It's said that Kana joined the guild to find her biological father, but she never had the chance to acknowledge Gildarts. We were shocked when we found out. According to her, she felt Gildarts was too unattainable, and coupled with the lack of opportunity, she delayed until now. Originally, she seemed to plan to acknowledge Gildarts if she successfully passed the S-Class Mage promotion exam and became an S-Class Mage."

"Will we recognize each other after we become S-class mages?" Li Xiaoxi rubbed her temples.

"I see. No wonder Kana was so obsessed with becoming an S-class mage during the exam, and her behavior was so strange before the exam started."

"Although the process was tortuous, they finally recognized each other successfully. In any case, this is a good thing," Mira said with some regret. "It's a pity that Gildarts left the guild immediately to travel and didn't know about the Grand Magic Games. Otherwise, our chances of winning would have been much greater."

"Don't you believe in my strength? Besides, Yukino's strength is probably at the level of a Wizard of Ten right now, not to mention Brandish μ, she is extremely strong. I estimate that she alone could make our Fairy Tail the champion of the Grand Magic Games," Li Xiaoxi said with great confidence.

"Yukino has the strength of a Wizard of Ten?" Mirajane said with some surprise.

"That's right, Yukino has had some opportunities in the Western Continent, and she's probably ranked fifth among the Ten Wizard Saints now!" Li Xiaoxi estimated.

"So strong! I wish I had gone to the Western Continent with you back then!" Mirajane pouted.

"Don't say that. Now that you know you've received Liang Tianyue Sera's soul from me, your strength can also improve rapidly," Li Xiaoxi comforted her.

"Now that you mention it, I can't go on like this anymore. I'm going to cultivate!" Mirajane said and ran off, leaving Li Xiaoxi speechless.

Soon, the cool night fell.

A small campsite sits atop a mountain not far from Magnolia.

The campfire was burning slowly, illuminating the several tents pitched nearby.

In the night sky, a full moon cast its bright and enchanting light, illuminating the entire mountaintop along with the glow of the campfire.

Inside one of the tents next to the campfire, under a thin blanket, two figures were locked in a passionate embrace.

This tender moment lasted until late into the night.

The rustling of the blankets only gradually stopped after the moon had begun to descend.

Li Xiaoxi embraced his charming girlfriend, his heart filled with peace.

Mira seemed to be completely exhausted. Her naked body was covered in sweat, and she lay obediently in Li Xiaoxi's arms, panting frequently, unable to move at all.

After such arduous training during the day, and then being tormented by her sweetheart at night, Mila was bound to feel exhausted.

However, more than feeling tired, this beautiful girlfriend felt satisfied.

Looking down at Mira, who was nestled in her arms, Li Xiaoxi gently stroked her head. Mira's delicate and beautiful face was flushed with a captivating blush.

"If you're tired, then go and rest..."

Upon hearing this, Mira, though still trying to catch her breath, shook her head in unison.

"Hey, Xiaoxi." Mirajane wrapped his white arms around Li Xiaoxi's neck, snuggling close to her, and said this without any warning.

"what happened?"

"I feel so happy right now!" After saying this, Mirajane leaned close to Li Xiaoxi and fell asleep peacefully. After all, the training these past few days had been really tiring, and with Li Xiaoxi's movements, he quickly fell asleep.

Li Xiaoxi gently stroked Mirajane's hair and said just as gently, "Me too!"

Chapter 312 Two Teams (Part 1)

The next day, Mirajane had a good night's sleep, something she hadn't done in a long time. However, when she woke up, she noticed that the other guild members were looking at her strangely. Although Mirajane had been prepared for this when she shared a tent with Li Xiaoxi, she still felt embarrassed when she actually faced those gazes.

Moreover, Yukino, Brandish μ, and Wendy all looked at Mirajane with a different expression: five parts envy, three parts resentment, and two parts anger.

"Where did Xiao hope go?" Mirajane had to find a topic to break the awkward silence.

"He really guided Natsu and Gray's training. I have to say, the things Xiaoxi brought back seem to be tailor-made for Natsu and Gray," Lucy said, looking at Li Xiaoxi who was guiding Natsu and Gray's training not far away.

Yukino and Brandish.μ both knew the reason, but Li Xiaoxi had instructed them not to tell the rest of the guild, so they could only pretend not to know.

Now, with the help of the Book of End, Natsu's magical power has increased rapidly, in just one day. Natsu's magical power has already reached a level comparable to Yukino's simply by possessing the Book of End. However, after Natsu achieved a similar level of magical power as Yukino, Li Xiaoxi took back the Book of End. If Natsu were to retain the Book of End, something bad would likely happen.

As for Gray, the Ice Demon Slayer Magic was developed by his father, and after Li Xiaoxi's six months of improvements, it became a magic specifically tailored for Gray. Gray quickly mastered the Ice Demon Slayer Magic, and his strength is now rapidly increasing.

Lucy originally wanted to tease Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane a bit when Li Xiaoxi returned, but Li Xiaoxi directly threw her into the Celestial Spirit Realm, asking the Celestial Spirit King to teach Lucy a lesson.

When Happy saw that Li Xiaoxi had taken Lucy, who had been teasing him and Mirajane, to the Celestial Spirit Realm without saying a word, he immediately reverted to his original demeanor, which was about to say that they were having an affair.

In the following period, Natsu and the others from Fairy Tail, who had been frozen in time for seven years, saw their strength increase rapidly under Li Xiaoxi's guidance. Erza, with the help of Brandish μ, awakened her second magical source. However, after that intimate encounter between Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane that night, Brandish μ never gave them any more time alone together at night.

As for Wendy, Li Xiaoxi had absolutely no idea how to teach her Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, but the appearance of one person solved this problem. Poliusica taught Wendy the "Dragon Slayer Secrets" of the two great Sky Magics of the Celestial Dragon Grandilo – "Galaxy" and "Sky Piercer". After Li Xiaoxi translated them, Wendy also learned these Dragon Slayer Secrets that the Celestial Dragon hadn't yet taught her.

Two months later, Li Xiaoxi looked at Natsu and the others, who had undergone a tremendous transformation compared to two months ago, especially Natsu. Natsu's strength was now terrifying; although he wasn't yet as strong as Brandish μ, he had surpassed Yukino a month ago. Natsu hadn't even had time to familiarize himself with his power before trying to duel Li Xiaoxi, only to be shrunk down by Brandish μ and thrown next to Gray before returning to his original size. Now, she and Li Xiaoxi were finally enjoying some alone time; how could she let Natsu disturb them!

"You really never learn." Gray scoffed as he looked at Natsu, who had been thrown next to him.

"How could you possibly beat Xiaoxi, you idiot?"

"Huh?" Natsu glared at Gray.

"You just said 'I'm doomed,' didn't you? You exhibitionist!"

“I’m talking about an idiot, a masochist!” Gray retorted defiantly.

"If you can't even hear properly, you might as well not participate in the Grand Magic Games and go home to play with eggs!"

"You really did say it was over, you bastard!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?! You moron!"

"Shut up! Stop arguing!" Erza said unhappily.

"like!"

“Really…” Xia Lulu turned her head away.

"They're all idiots..."

Li Xiaoxi calculated the time, then picked up Lucy, whom he had thrown into the Celestial Spirit World. Amidst Lucy's frightened gaze, she gathered Natsu and the others, and then took them back to Fairy Tail.

However, upon returning to Fairy Tail, they discovered that the others who had gone out for training had returned. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they saw Makarov standing on the stage he usually performed on and announced important events, looking down at the crowd.

"Very good, everyone is here. Let's announce the list of participants now!"

Everyone immediately held their breath.

"First of all, there are two pieces of news that I must tell you."

As everyone held their breath, Makarov, as if deliberately teasing them, suddenly changed the subject and said something like this.

"The first piece of news is related to the Grand Magic Games, and the second piece of news is related to the future of our guild."

Although Makarov seemed to be keeping everyone in suspense, his expression was quite serious.

That's only natural. No matter which piece of news it is, it's something no one can ignore.

"Let me start with the first piece of news," Makarov said, coughing.

"In order to participate in this Grand Magic Games and win, so that our guild can once again become the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, I have carefully studied the official rules of this year's competition and found that there is no limit to the number of participating teams. Therefore, I have decided that this time, we will select two teams."

"Two teams?" Everyone was surprised.

"Two teams?" Li Xiaoxi paused slightly, but wasn't particularly surprised.

"Is this alright, President?" Erza raised her hand and asked.
