Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 66 Magical Girls Must Keep Smiling (5700 words)
"The sect's first formation is the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the second formation is the Ten Deadly Formations, and the third formation is the Inverted Five Elements Formation, which is paralyzed."

"Siye and Liuye are unconscious, but thanks to their usual dedication to the formations, their abilities are still effective. The fourth formation, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and the fifth formation, the Nine True Demon Subduing Formation, are operating normally."

Inside the Qingyun Sect, Yu Mo held the Miracle Seed in her hand. Although she did not transform, she extracted a large amount of magic power.

Her small body emanated terrifying magic, spreading outwards continuously. Several magic circles around her kept going out and then being meticulously repaired and relit by her.

The entire Qingyun Sect was filled with magic arrays that shimmered like dazzling neon lights, constantly surrounding Yu Mo.

A gentle breeze within the Qingyun Sect dispersed the white mist. Once the magic array had stabilized, Yu Mo opened her eyes, looking somewhat weary: "I can't contact the Sect Master for the time being."

The fourth and fifth formations outside continuously eliminated the vine-like monsters that were gathering.

On the other side, on the four-leaf clover mirror, leaves were falling one by one, but there was only white mist in the mirror.

Looking at her grayish-white seed, Bing Tang sighed, "Even after dispelling the white mist, the Miracle Seed didn't respond, nor did the Incubator. I underestimated the Witch's Guild's methods; they actually managed to go this far."

Yu Mo whispered, "They must have been preparing for a long time. They covered the entire Beihai in an instant. Yu Mo, Yu Mo almost got caught in it too."

Yu Mo was still in class when fog started to roll in over Beihai.

By the time they realized something was wrong, the entire school had fallen asleep.

Fortunately, Yu Mo completely imitated the sect leader in terms of magic control, and she would constantly draw magic power from the Miracle Seed to strengthen her five senses.

Moreover, because Yu Mo has extremely high precision in controlling magic, she was able to forcibly extract a considerable amount of magic from the sealed Miracle Seed.

Therefore, Yu Mo did not faint due to the white mist and successfully returned to Qingyun Sect from the school, and also brought back the unconscious Four Leaves and Six Leaves from the school.

They seem to be managing to keep the internal array of the Qingyun Sect running smoothly and dispel the surrounding mist with ease.

"Lord Bing Tang, I would like to go outside to see the other disciples and also to find the Sect Master."

Hearing Yu Mo's soft question, Bing Tang shook her head, "No, we don't know what the situation is outside. It's too dangerous for you to go out without transforming. Besides, do you even know where the sect leader lives?"

“Yu Mo knows.”

Bing Tang squinted: "Hmm? When did you find out?"

"By chance, by sheer coincidence."

Actually, it was discovered by secretly following the sect leader.

After all, during the holidays, Yu Mo had nothing to do, so she liked to follow the sect leader around and observe his cultivation methods.

He learned the precise control of magic by secretly observing and following along the way.

Yu Mo had absolutely no other intentions; she only wanted to become stronger so she could better help everyone...

So Yu Mo just happened to discover where the sect leader lived, what he liked to eat, when he went out, and when he slept.

Yu Mo definitely didn't peek on purpose!
Moreover, the sect leader clearly knew this and did not object, which meant he agreed with Yu Mo's approach.

Seeing Yu Mo's face turn red from holding back her emotions, and because she had to control her magic, she couldn't help but laugh.

This girl is still as incapable of lying as ever.

"You don't need to worry about the sect leader. On the contrary, if you run out and something happens, it will worry the sect leader and cause him trouble. The sect leader hates sect disciples who hold him back the most."

Sure enough, one sentence made Yu Mo back down, "Then, then Yu Mo won't go..."

Bing Tang took another look at her seed; she had absorbed quite a bit of magic power so far.

They basically figured out that the white mist's properties only prevented the seeds from transforming.

If one could transform earlier, Shiraki probably wouldn't be able to undo the transformation.

Unfortunately, when the white mist spread and affected the seeds, everyone in the Qingyun Sect was in a non-transformed state...

Or rather, the final captain of the Witches' Guild activated the White Mist only after observing that there were no more magical girls in the North Sea.

Information that even the twins didn't know.

According to the twins, the captain of that witch's guild started making plans in the North Sea five years ago.

Although most of his plans were later thwarted by the Qingyun Sect, his ultimate plan, which he secretly implemented for five years, remained unknown to anyone.

The twins only knew that the captain had a trump card, and kept letting her stall for time.

Based on current observations, this should be the white fog currently covering Beihai.

Five years have allowed the white mist to spread to every corner of the North Sea, making it unavoidable, and it precisely located the time when no one in the North Sea was transforming into a magical girl.

Even if they were enemies, Bing Tang had to admit that they were patient and resourceful.

Have you been able to contact Bai Mei?

"No."

"She went to the station to buy a ticket in the afternoon, so she may have already left the area covered by the white fog in Beihai."

As Bing Tang said this, she kicked the small door of the conference room next door again, "Qinghua, when are you going to stop sleeping!"

Qinghua, who had been kicked twice, crawled out of the conference room with an embarrassed laugh. "I... I was unconscious too, Lord Bingtang."

"Lying down next to four-leaf and six-leaf clovers, secretly playing games, thinking I can't see you, huh?"

"Huh, huh, when did Lord Bing Tang... Wow, spying on me, Lord Bing Tang is so mean..."

With a tug on her ear, Qinghua immediately became obedient. Bingtang tapped her head with exasperation, "What time is it? Still slacking off!"

"Anyway, Yu Mo is so capable, it doesn't matter if Qing Hua is lazy. The white mist and the disaster beasts can't break in anyway."

"Bring out your Eternal Doll."

Qinghua's eyes widened. "No way, Lord Bingtang, are you going to use my ultimate move so soon? No! I don't want my ultimate move to be used so cheaply..."

Bing Tang almost laughed out of anger, "What time is it? Stop arguing. Hurry up, the sect leader and the others are all outside. The only way to find them is through your Eternal Puppet."

"But once it's used, Qinghua's trump card will be exposed, and it will definitely be targeted by the enemy. So Qinghua will no longer be able to fight on the battlefield. Can you give me paid leave, Boss Bingtang?"

"You can write your own resignation letter."

"I was just joking."

Qinghua slowly rummaged through the meeting room and pulled out two dolls. The dolls were small and seemed to be woven from silk, but it was clear that one was Dongjun and the other was a dandelion, both lifelike.

The Eternal Doll was the main reason why Qinghua stood out from many disciples and became the true successor.

"Come, come, share your magic, share as much as you can, so you don't lose it later..."

As Qinghua instructed, Bingtang and Yumo infused magic into the dolls.

Under the catalysis of their respective magic, the corresponding dolls began to expand rapidly and turned into life-sized dandelions and winter-like creatures, only with slight differences in their clothing.

All their abilities are identical to the original, and if Lady Shion were to provide the magic power, these Eternal Puppets might even be stronger than the original magical girls.

It's just that since it's not my own magic, I can't activate these eternal golems.

Even if the magic is used up, it will not disappear. As long as the doll is recycled and magic is injected again, it can be used again.

Aside from the fact that it takes a lot of time to make and requires a good understanding of the magical girl being created (the more powerful the magical girl, the more complicated the process), it has virtually no drawbacks.

From the time she gained this ability, Qinghua made two dolls in a year and a half, and they weren't even finished yet.

If we were to create Lady Shion's Eternal Magic Puppet, it would probably take more than a decade...

Just as the two puppets were completely finished, Qinghua was about to walk out when Yumo rushed over in a panic, "Wait, wait, this... we can't let the Sect Master see this..."

Qinghua glanced at it and realized that Dandelion's magic costume didn't actually reveal much; it mainly exposed her back and arms, and her delicate skin was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

Qinghua casually touched it, even pinched it, and praised, "It feels great, exactly the same as the original. Yumo, what are you shy about? I think the Sect Master will like it."

"don't want……"

She quickly took off her trench coat and put it on the dandelion puppet, covering its back and arms. Only then did Yu Mo breathe a sigh of relief, "It's all right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qinghua leaned over and pinched her arm. "You're showing off all your skin like this... Oh, I see. So Yumo is afraid that the puppet will steal her charm? That's why she's showing off some skin to attract the sect leader. How bold."

"No way!" Yu Mo immediately shrank her neck and walked to the side. "I'll find a new coat to wear."

"I think the Sect Master might like you more the way you are now." These words made Yu Mo hesitate. Qing Hua then looked at Bing Tang with a grin, "Bing Tang, would you like to try it too?"

"forget it."

"He said I don't exercise enough and that I don't look good without muscles," Bing Tang said casually.

"..."

Sensing a hint of danger, Qinghua chuckled dryly and went back to control the puppet, "I... I'll go and have the puppet go find someone first."

Yu Mo glanced down at her delicate arms and lower abdomen, then obediently went back to put on her coat.

Rock Candy stared intently at Clover's reflection in the mirror before speaking:
"Qinghua, remember to have the puppet prioritize finding Coco. The sect leader and the other disciples can go later. They can visit the Disaster Management Bureau when they have time."

"Received, Lord Rock Sugar."

After taking only a couple of steps, Qinghua suddenly made the two puppets turn back.

Bing Tang gave her a strange look. "What's wrong?"

"I still feel uneasy." As she said this, Qinghua suddenly rushed into the conference room and brought out the ancestral tablets of the Qingyun Sect. "Let's ask our ancestors for their blessings."

"Don't damage the memorial tablet."

"It's okay, it's okay."

As Qinghua spoke, she placed the memorial tablet and bowed twice, saying, "Ancestors, Qinghua, a second-generation true disciple of the Qingyun Sect, has offended you."

After saying that, he actually put the spirit tablet directly into the box and started shaking it wildly.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, ancestors, please show your power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two spirit tablets were shaken and flew out!
The two puppets each grabbed one, held it in their hands, and then displayed it.

[The First Cultivator Who Relieves Suffering and Calamity] - Han Li!
[The White-Haired Demon Star Leaps to Heaven] - Wang Lin!
Qinghua turned her head blankly and looked at Bingtang. "Boss, isn't this a bit unlucky?"

"It's alright," Bing Tang urged, "Let's not waste any more time."

"Alright, alright." Qinghua took back the two spirit tablets, noticing the cracks on them from the fall, but pretending not to see them, and began to offer them as a sacrifice. "My two elders, you must take care of your lovely junior..."

……

The fog was billowing when Jiang Keke fell down the stairs.

She looked at the layers upon layers of vines above, then glanced at the parasitic vines that had been burned to ash and fallen from her arm.

Even though I know the other party is very strong.

But I didn't expect it to be this strong.

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do...?

The falling vines were like whips, but Coco dodged them with a somersault.

He raised his hand as the second vine whip approached.

The crimson magic spread to his fingertips, and the moment it touched the vines, it ignited the entire vine!

But without warning, a vine sprouted from under her feet, grabbed her ankle, and lifted her up abruptly!
He threw Coco away!
When Coco slid down after hitting the pillar, she curled up, in so much pain she could barely make a sound.

"You must be wondering why you're the one who has encountered these things."

"Why are you the only one who's so unlucky?"

The captain's demonic figure came from upstairs, growing ever more intense.

It was only at times like this that Coco realized why Jiang Si was training so hard.

Even the power of a magical girl has its limitations.

Now, Coco feels frustrated that she doesn't exercise enough on a regular basis.

I felt completely exhausted after just a short run.

If I had worked hard with Jiang Si earlier, things would never have turned out this way...

She struggled to her feet, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The captain just shrugged: "Like now, still running away from reality, pretending not to know anything, how pathetic, Coco."

Because the precision of manipulating magic is not that good, the amount of magic that can be obtained is becoming less and less.

Just like what Teacher Ziyuan said, I imitated too much, wanting to learn this and that, to the point that I ended up being bad at everything.

Even with the most time spent meticulously manipulating magic, it's still not enough to sustain high-intensity combat.

Coco stumbled as she got up, tripped over a vine, and fell to the ground.

The captain walked up to her and looked down at her.

"Magical girls exist because of monsters, and monsters are born because of magical girls. The first monster in BH City will definitely be heading towards the first magical girl in this city."

Coco's pupils trembled, and as she tried to rush forward, she was once again pinned to the ground by the vines.

"You killed your own parents. If it weren't for you, the first calamity beast in BH City wouldn't have been born there."

The captain crouched down, looking at her. "The source of all misfortune is you! Coco! BH City's first magical girl!"

Coco's body trembled.

A long silence,
She then lowered her head, braced herself on her knees, and struggled to her feet, saying, "Nonsense..."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

The captain smiled calmly and said, "But do you know what? Despite being BH City's first magical girl and the most perfect gem, all you have in your mind is resentment, hatred, and pain."

The parasitic vines burrowed into his brain, and non-existent memories awakened along with the captain's words.

That was three years ago, after the attack by the monstrous beast.

They had already returned to the sanatorium.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Si fell asleep by her bedside. The window was open and swayed from time to time, and the night breeze stirred the curtains.

The girl lying in the hospital bed missed her parents, hated, and cursed the world.

Why did her miracle seed only appear after her parents died?

Why doesn't she even have the chance to have her wish fulfilled?

What's the point of magical girls anyway?!

Then, a dark figure drifted in through the window, like a ghost, and came to her side.

He said he would grant her wish and took her miracle seed.

The miracle seed, which had been burning like a raging fire, quickly went out and turned into darkness.

In her memory, the dark figure stood above the bed, its lips moving as if it were saying something to her.

Then, he pressed the miracle seed onto her forehead.

When those cold fingers touched my forehead, a sharp pain churned in my head.

And seemingly endless power caused her entire body to explode!

Coco suddenly opened her eyes, drenched in cold sweat, snapping out of her reverie. She clutched her head and let out a low moan of pain.

The captain stood not far away, still wearing that wicked smile, quietly watching her. "Do you remember? That night, you were supposed to become a witch, but unfortunately, you failed for some reason. I'm sure that if you had become a witch back then, you would have gained the power to change the world."

"In this world, the magical girl who harbors hope shines the brightest and is the most powerful at the moment she falls and becomes a witch."

"I thought that one day you would find your own way to become a witch, after all, your seed should have been destroyed by now, and you don't even have your own incubator."

The captain asked with some doubt, "That's strange. Why did you still transform into a magical girl? I'm very curious about how you managed to grasp hope in the deepest despair."

Shion, teacher...

As she thought of that purple figure, power surged from her body once more.

Don't give up, Coco, don't let your teacher down.

Lower your breath and gather your strength.

It desperately extracts magic from the seeds.

As the captain walked over, he sprang up from his bent-over position!

A fist imbued with magic slammed into the captain's face!
However, the captain's androgynous face, neither old nor young, was only slightly distorted, and even revealed a smile, "You are far inferior to Shion now, but if you become a witch, things may change. I will help you obtain power, the strongest witch power!"

A dense vine instantly pounced on Coco from behind the captain.

Even with all their efforts to dodge and unleash their magical power, they were still overwhelmed and swallowed by the endless vines.

"I am a magical girl!"

Coco's struggles gradually weakened, but she still clung tightly to the edge of the vines, "I will never become a witch, absolutely not!"

"Who knows."

The captain grabbed Coco with his right hand, and the remaining vines finally buried her completely. "Every magical girl says this before she falls."

"You were once the most perfect witch's gem."

"Poor Coco, kind Coco, ignorant witch Coco."

"You are the only one in the North Sea who has a chance to defeat Shion."

"I will help you rediscover your anger and hatred, and reclaim the power that is rightfully yours."

"Then, conquer the North Sea for us, conquer the world!"

……

The sounds around me disappeared, and my consciousness was plunged into complete darkness.

Coco wondered if she could do better.

But from the moment she met the captain, she had already guessed that he had the ability to forcibly take her away.

Unable to transform into a magical girl herself, she is at a significant disadvantage when facing members of the Witch Guild.

The reason they use coercion to get you to follow them is most likely because they don't want to hurt you.

It seems to be because she plans to transform herself into a witch...

Just as I was feeling uneasy, a ray of sunlight suddenly peeked out from above.

She reached out to shield her eyes from the somewhat glaring sunlight.

Then the scorching warm wind blew in, and the sounds of cicadas, pedestrians' whispers and footsteps, car horns and engine roars gradually became clear in my ears.

In the sweltering heat of summer, she sat under a mulberry tree in front of her house. Both mulberry trees were still thriving, lush and verdant.

She looked up at the plump mulberries, which seemed about to fall, and stared blankly.

Until someone hugged her from behind and picked her up.

Why is my little one spacing out here?

"We're about to leave, Jiang Si. Can't you cheer up? Come on, smile!"

Coco turned around and looked at the smiling couple, and Jiang Si following behind them, her lips being pulled and forced into a smile, looking helpless.

The cicadas' cries were heart-wrenching, like the wails of someone on their deathbed.

Her lips moved slightly, and she murmured the two unfamiliar words.

"Dad, Mom..."

　There will be two updates tomorrow, please vote! Don't worry, everyone.
