Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

"Kana, how about illustrations this time?"

"Never mind that, sit here and have a drink."

"Guild Master, what are the guild's ambitions?"

"Um, cough cough, with love and justice in our hearts, moving forward every day." Makarov rambled on to Jason without batting an eye. Afterwards, Jason went to interview the Thors, completely ignoring Lucy standing next to him.

Suddenly, Lucy seemed to remember something, and soon she appeared on the stage. "Everyone, I'll sing a song for you!" But before Lucy could start singing, Gajeel bumped her aside. Then Gajeel started playing the guitar and singing on stage. After that, Gajeel was punched away by Natsu, who couldn't stand it anymore, and the two started fighting again.

"Hey, why is it so noisy?" At this moment, a soft voice came from the second floor. Jason looked up and saw Li Xiaoxi looking down from the second floor.

"Ahhh. Fairy Child Li Xiaoxi??!! I really saw her in person, so cool!!" Upon seeing Li Xiaoxi, Jason became excited again, grabbing his notebook and camera and rushing towards her as she jumped down from the second floor.

"Li Xiaoxi, your new look is so cool, especially that pure black hair! Let's have your new look on the cover of this week's magazine, it's just too cool!!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoxi, completely bewildered by Jason's rapid-fire words, could only utter a confused sound.

"By the way, Li Xiaoxi, according to a survey, 87% of female readers said they would be willing to have a one-night stand with you. Are you willing to accept that?" Before Li Xiaoxi could react, Jason threw out another bombshell question.

(There's a murderous aura!) Li Xiaoxi suddenly felt an extremely cold sensation creep up her spine from behind. She turned her head slightly and saw Mira smiling, but with black energy emanating from her back, and Yukino with a slightly unhappy look in her eyes.

Seeing the two women's reactions, Li Xiaoxi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said to Jason, "I can only apologize for the girls' enthusiasm. I'm not that kind of person."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxi felt the chill on her back slowly dissipate and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“So, Li Xiaoxi…” Seeing that Jason was about to ask more questions, Li Xiaoxi hurriedly said, “Ah, I’ve lost my memory, so I don’t remember anything. You should go interview other people.” She dismissed Jason with a single sentence.

Jason, who had been dismissed by Li Xiaoxi, chased after Mira again: "Miss Mira, may I ask...?"

Lucy, who had been repeatedly ignored, finally gave up and slumped to the ground, feeling extremely frustrated. Just then, a slender hand reached out to her.

"Hmm?" Lucy looked up and saw the energetic Natsu.

"Lucy, it's time to go do your mission. You still haven't paid your rent, have you?"

Lucy stared blankly at Natsu, and in Natsu's eyes, Lucy seemed to see her own reflection.

“The one destined for me…” Looking at Natsu’s innocent face, Lucy couldn’t help but murmur to herself.

"Hmm?" Natsu tilted his head in confusion.

"Ah, it's nothing. You're right, I should go do my mission now," Lucy said, trying to cover it up.

Chapter 268 Under the Stars

Lucy wasn't the only one affected by the "destined one." There was another person in Fairy Tail who was also affected by this "destined one." She hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but today, the arrival of Mr. Jason, a reporter from Weekly Sor, gave her a good reminder.

"Speaking of which, it's been three years since you started following Xiaoxi! Time really flies!" Mirajane sighed, watching Li Xiaoxi, who seemed genuinely enjoying the show. "But I've made it so obvious, and Xiaoxi hasn't said a word! Do I, a girl, really have to be the one to say it?"

Mirajane pondered this problem for the entire day, and Li Xiaoxi had to call her several times before she finally woke her up! However, after waking her, Li Xiaoxi noticed that Mirajane's gaze was a little strange. Before, it was mostly gentle, occasionally revealing a hint of resentment, but what was wrong today? Why was she looking at her with such resentful eyes? This wasn't right!

Also, when Mirajane said that he was ranked number one as the most desirable boyfriend among girls in the weekly magazine, Li Xiaoxi could clearly sense Mirajane's unhappiness, especially after the weekly magazine reporter Jason said something about one-night stands. Li Xiaoxi could feel Mirajane's murderous aura!

After considering all these circumstances, and seeing the resentful look in Miraje's eyes, Li Xiaoxi seemed to understand something.

"It seems it's time to give Mirajane an explanation, or the consequences will be unimaginable," Li Xiaoxi thought to herself as she looked at Mirajane, who was lost in thought again.

Li Xiaoxi found a time to be alone with Mirajane and said to her, "Mirajane, see you at the rooftop at eight o'clock tonight." After saying that, Li Xiaoxi left, but Mirajane seemed to understand something when she saw Li Xiaoxi's embarrassed and shy expression.

"Could it be that he wants to..." Mirajane asked longingly. "That's very likely! What should I do? Should I just say yes? Or pretend to refuse? But wouldn't it be bad to pretend to refuse? What if he sees me refuse and starts to overthink things?"

The guild members noticed that after Mirajane disappeared for a while, she reappeared as a completely different person. Just moments before, her face was filled with resentment and unhappiness; now, she radiated joy and happiness. This was evident from the occasional silly grin she would let loose.

The guild members speculated whether Li Xiaoxi had confessed her feelings to Mirajane, but Mirajane's current behavior didn't seem to suggest it. However, it was certain that Mirajane's happiness was definitely related to Li Xiaoxi.

Mirajane left the guild long before nightfall. Even Yukino, who usually went home with Mirajane, wasn't waiting. Yukino was currently staying at Li Xiaoxi's house. Lisanna and Elfman, who were originally expected to come, only came a few times but didn't stay. They understood what their sister wanted! If they had stayed, they might have received Mirajane's "thanks" every day. As for why Yukino was at Li Xiaoxi's house, it was simple: Yukino insisted on staying there. Plus, Yukino was currently feeling insecure, so she moved in.

---------------

Li Xiaoxi arrived at the place she had agreed to meet Mirajane at 7:30. Their house had a small gazebo on the roof, as Li Xiaoxi liked to rest there.

But when Li Xiaoxi got to the rooftop, she found that Mirajane was already there.

"You've come," Mirajane said, turning around to face Li Xiaoxi after sensing her presence.

Mirajane now wore a smile so sweet it could captivate any man. The beautiful girl stood before Li Xiaoxi, her hands clasped behind her back, her delicate body leaning forward, her gentle eyes fixed on Li Xiaoxi, a strange ripple stirring within them.

Li Xiaoxi had never seen Mirajane like this before, and she was momentarily mesmerized.

Mirajane wore a princess dress that wasn't fancy but exuded elegance. Her long, white hair, reaching her waist, cascaded down her graceful back like snow. She had a tall and voluptuous figure, looking like a model straight out of a book, breathtakingly beautiful.

From Mirajane, Li Xiaoxi could also sense a gentle, water-like temperament, a saintly aura that touched her deeply, and her gaze couldn't help but linger on her.

Although Mirajane was very gentle with Li Xiaoxi before, the feeling she gets from Mirajane now is... well, let's just say it's perfect!

Mirajane was overjoyed to find Li Xiaoxi staring at her in a daze. It seemed she still had her charm!

However, for some reason, Mirajane did not wake up Li Xiaoxi, who was staring blankly at her. Instead, Mirajane was enjoying this moment. If she could, Mirajane wished time could stand still at this moment!

However, having been influenced by many beautiful ship girls and Tomoyo, Li Xiaoxi finally woke up after staring at Mirajane for about half a minute.

"I'm sorry!" As soon as Li Xiaoxi woke up, she immediately turned her head away and said apologetically.

"Nothing. By the way, what's the matter that you called me here for?" Mirajane's heart was pounding. She was waiting for Li Xiaoxi to say those words, those words she had been longing to hear for so long!

After Mirajane uttered those words, time seemed to stand still. Only the small animals in the forest chirped merrily, and a gentle breeze blew by.

“Mira, we’ve known each other for three years now!” Li Xiaoxi suddenly recalled the first time she met Mirajane and said with a smile.

"Three years and two months," Mirajane blurted out the time.

"Time flies! By the way, Mira, can I ask you something about time?"

"What is it!" Mirajane was getting impatient as Li Xiaoxi hadn't gotten to the point yet, and her displeasure was palpable as she spoke.

"It's nothing, it's a very simple thing, it's just that you can be my girlfriend?" Li Xiaoxi looked at Mirajane, who was a little angry, and said the question that Li Xiaoxi had hesitated for a long time before deciding to say!

"You big bad guy, you finally said it!" Mirajane burst into tears upon hearing Li Xiaoxi's confession, and threw herself into Li Xiaoxi's arms, holding her tightly.

"Requesting flowers," "Requesting tips," "Requesting favorites," or "Requesting monthly votes."

Chapter 269 The Balam Alliance

The next day, everyone in Fairy Tail was stunned. Mirajane was holding Li Xiaoxi's hand, with a happy smile on his face.

If you've read this far and still don't realize that Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane's relationship has taken a major turn, then you might want to wash your eyes.

However, Fairy Tail had anticipated that Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane would get together, since Mirajane's behavior was too obvious. After being saved by Li Xiaoxi, she gradually changed her delinquent image and started following Li Xiaoxi on missions.

After their initial surprise, the guild members offered their blessings to the couple, especially Elfman, whose address of "brother-in-law" made Li Xiaoxi feel rather embarrassed. However, there was one person whose eyes held a different element besides their blessings—a defiant spirit.

That's right, this person is Yukino, who was rescued by Li Xiaoxi from the Dark Guild. After being rescued by Li Xiaoxi, Yukino was taken care of in every way, making her feel warmth. From then on, Yukino told herself that her life belonged to Li Xiaoxi. Although Yukino learned last night that Li Xiaoxi and Mirajane had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend, which was a bit of a blow, Yukino still told herself that she still had a chance.

Early in the morning, when Li Xiaoxi entered the guild, she saw many people gathered near the bar, discussing something. Two months had passed since Li Xiaoxi confessed her feelings to Mirajane. During these two months, Li Xiaoxi had stayed in Magnolia Town, living a normal boyfriend-girlfriend life with Mirajane. Everything was fine except for one thing that bothered Li Xiaoxi: Mirajane would always sneak up on her at night. At first, she objected, but Mirajane would always come the next day, and this continued for two months. Li Xiaoxi resigned herself to it, but although they shared a bed, nothing particularly exciting happened. It wasn't that Li Xiaoxi didn't want to, but Mirajane wouldn't allow it, saying it was revenge for making her wait three years. Li Xiaoxi could only bitterly refuse!

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoxi walked over with some curiosity.

Upon reaching the bar, Li Xiaoxi saw a map showing the distribution of power in mid-air.

"Oh, Xiaoxi, you're here." Everyone greeted Li Xiaoxi upon seeing her.

"Hmm, good morning, what's this?"

“This is the organizational chart of the Dark Guild, ah, I drew it,” Lisana said.

"The Dark Guild? But why are they suddenly drawing this?" Li Xiaoxi asked, looking at the Batum Alliance distribution map in mid-air.

Hearing Li Xiaoxi's question, Lisana, who was standing to the side, explained with a serious expression, "Because their activities have become more frequent recently, we must strengthen cooperation between guilds."

"What's that big circle in the middle?" Li Xiaoxi pointed to the center of the picture, where there was a circle with four guild names inside. Almost all the guild names were connected to the three guild names in the circle by lines.

“I know…” Jubian said, “That’s the Batum Alliance, a dark guild. The Batum Alliance is the largest dark force, consisting of three guilds: Oración Seis, Hades, and Devil’s Heart. The other three guilds each have hundreds of directly affiliated guilds and control the dark world. And Raventail is independent of them.”

"By the way, what is the Iron Forest?"

“That’s right, the guild that Erigor belongs to.” Erza nodded.

“That’s a guild under the Oración Seis,” Gray said.

"I just don't know why. It's just that the dark guilds have become increasingly difficult to defeat lately." Lucy sighed deeply.

"The dark guilds nowadays are very cunning. They've started to become active before the new council was established. But once we arrive at the mission location after accepting a subjugation mission, and you see that we are mages from Fairy Tail, they will immediately start to retreat. We've almost failed several missions because of this."

As the main person in charge of making these dark guilds retreat as soon as they see the Fairy Tail emblem, Li Xiaoxi said that it seems that he is quite famous!

“Love,” Happy said, sitting at the table and gnawing on a fish.

"It's all Natsu's fault. He got too excited and caused a huge commotion every time, which alerted the Dark Guild. If Erza hadn't caught up with them, our mission would have failed."

"How can you blame me? Those guys were just too cowardly!" Natsu grumbled, somewhat annoyed.

"If you're going to fight, then come out and settle things with me fair and square. Why are you running away?!"

"No, they're a dark guild," Lucy couldn't help but retort.

"How could I possibly have a fair and square fight with you?"

"However, it is undeniable that the subjugation missions are becoming increasingly difficult," Erza said with a serious expression.

"Our team is doing alright, barely managing to handle those cunning dark guilds, but the other teams' missions don't seem to be going so smoothly. And that's only because our team has me, Natsu, and Gray in it."

If we disregard Mirajane, Erza is currently the most powerful female mage in the entire Fairy Tail series besides Mirajane.

At least, Li Xiaoxi's senses told him that Erza had grown somewhat in the past two months.

It's probably because they've been trained through long-term punitive missions and real combat and killing.

Given Erza's current strength, it's not impossible for her to be selected as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

With Natsu and Gray, who are among the strongest below S-class mages, dealing with some cunning dark guilds is no problem.

Then, Lucy chuckled awkwardly.

"So I wasn't counted after all?"

"Hey, Lucy, don't be sad," Happy chuckled.

"Who told you to be so weak?"

"It's none of your business! You're weaker than me!" Lucy said, looking exasperated.

"Besides, you weren't counted either!"

Upon hearing this, Habib puffed out his chest with a swagger.

"Because I'm a cat!"

Upon hearing this, Lucy complained again.

"There's nothing to be proud of, is there?"

Seeing Lucy and Happy chatting away, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, Li Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile before becoming serious.

"I don't care much about the other dark guilds, but I am more concerned about the three major dark guilds of the Balam Alliance."

Erza and the others exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly turning serious.

Chapter 270 Six Demons

—The Balam Alliance.

An alliance of the three most powerful dark guilds that control the entire continent's dark world.

“Many of the names are familiar. There are quite a few former legitimate guilds among them.” As veteran members of the guild, Macao and Wakaba naturally had more knowledge than the others and recognized some guilds that originally belonged to the Light Magic World but later fell into corruption.

“The souls of the corpses that were defeated by the Thunder Gods are also among them,” Mira said.

“Juvia and Gajeel also crushed several guilds like that back in Phantom Lord, all of them were guilds under the Oración Seis,” Juvia said with a smile.

"Don't say that with a smile, okay?" Gray complained from the side.

"It seems like all the active guilds are subordinate guilds of the Six Demon Generals. Could it be that the Six Demon Generals have some big plans recently?" Li Xiaoxi stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Lucy trembled with fear, her voice shaking as she said, "What should we do? Hopefully they won't hold a grudge."

"It's alright, don't worry about it. Legend has it that there are only six of them," Wakaba said nonchalantly.

“What a tiny guild,” Macao chimed in.

Before Lucy could even breathe a sigh of relief, Mira shook her head and reminded her, "Even though there are only six of them, they still support one of the largest forces."

Just then, Makarov's voice suddenly rang out from behind: "As for the Oración Seis, it has been decided that we will be the ones to defeat them."
