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

Chapter 88 The Little Boat, Drifting and Drifting (5000 words)
The list provided by the mayor was very long.

The list consists entirely of people connected to the Witch Society, including some members of the Disaster Management Bureau's guard team.

Qingluan felt dizzy and disoriented at first glance, seeing so many people.

With such talent around, how could the past problem of wild animals in Jiangming City have been cured?

According to the "advisor" in front of us, if we want to deceive the Witch Society, we must first deceive our own people. Otherwise, how could we have protected the people when the north of the city fell a year ago?

This list is proof of their loyalty to the people of Jiangming City.

However, thinking about what the mayor and his assistant had done in the past, Qingluan felt something was subtly off.

In short, whether or not to run for mayor again, or to appease the citizens of Jiangming City and find more evidence to expose all the crimes of the Witch Society, it will all take time.

Fortunately, she didn't need to worry about most things. After venting her anger by scolding the mayor's assistant, Qingluan took Iris back to the new location chosen by the Disaster Management Bureau to rest.

The Disaster Management Bureau originally planned to select two buildings as temporary bases, but all the magical girls in the Bureau strongly requested to live in small bungalows.

They've had enough of the days of freefalling through buildings, transforming, and then instantly rescuing people.

Qingluan also felt that living in a bungalow was more comfortable.

Come to think of it, I haven't had much rest in the past two days.

Before going to the North Sea to provide support, she had just finished a battle with five B-level disaster beasts. Those five disaster beasts seemed to be cut from the same mold, but their abilities were different. Facing them at the same time was very troublesome, and they could also cooperate. She remembered that the witch called them the five disaster beast brothers.

Fortunately, she was not fighting alone. With the help of the other magical girls, she successfully wiped out the five monster brothers and sealed them into cards.

After clearing out the remaining threatening monsters by circling the south of the city, they rushed to the North Sea to check on Iris's condition, where they suffered a minor setback.

They rushed back to Jiangming overnight, but wild monsters appeared on the way back, which delayed them considerably, so they didn't arrive until the next morning.

Having finally made it back to the Disaster Management Bureau, I poured a glass of water for the wild magical girl I had found, but before I could even take a sip myself, I was confronted by two new B-rank disaster beasts that the Witch Association had recently recruited.

After that, she fought a fierce battle against an A-class disaster beast until she could no longer transform, and was then ambushed and controlled by the regional head of the Witch Association.

Finally, she even had a chance encounter with the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, Ziyuan, who was also a magical girl in full bloom, and whose Purple Fire Lotus was as strong as a monster.

They haven't rested for a moment, playing from the night before last until this afternoon...

What hellish 48 hours?

Qingluan felt that she was quite dutiful and could be described as a mature, calm, steady, quick-witted, honest, non-competitive, and hardworking magical girl.

As for Iris, she was key in killing the A-level disaster beast, achieving the greatest results with minimal effort. However, Qingluan is now willing to call her the strongest in Jiangming City's Disaster Management Bureau, and no one is allowed to say that Iris is a dog who won by doing nothing.

Therefore, she originally planned to get a good night's sleep with Iris first, then treat Iris to a nice meal before going to work.

After all, Iris was a later addition to the team, and Jiang Mingshi's work had nothing to do with her.

However, as a friend, Qingluan still hoped that Yuanwei would spend more time with her, as having Yuanwei by her side would give her more strength.

By the way, it would be best if I could see Iris's complete transformation in person.

The fact that she had caused Iris to be unable to transform was a constant source of resentment for her.

Fortunately, for some reason, Iris's power has returned, and she should be able to gradually regain her magical girl powers.

However, Qingluan couldn't rest easy until she saw it with her own eyes.

Who knows if this idiot will take the half-finished magic armor to fight the monsters again and get hurt.

Iris has done this kind of silly thing before.

Not long after lying down, Iris suddenly got up.

"Oh no, I forgot about Jiang Si. I hope nothing happened to him."

Qingluan later learned that Iris had come with a friend, whose mission was to protect a friend who was traveling in Jiangming City.

As a result, the entire trip was filled with intense battles between the Disaster Management Bureau and the Witch Society, and I completely forgot about the person I was supposed to protect...

"It's not my fault! He left me in the car and didn't care! Besides, there was a huge crisis right after we arrived in Jiangming City! As a magical girl, I can't just sit idly by!"

They were complaining to someone over there, probably members of the Disaster Management Bureau in Beihai.

She heard a very young girl on the other end of the phone, but her voice sounded like she was about to cry, "I told you you have to keep a close eye on Jiang Si! How can I tell Coco if something happens to her!"

"Hey, don't rush, Captain, you'll grow taller if you're in a hurry. I saved the entire Jiangming, which is the same as saving Jiang Si. Don't worry, the casualties this time aren't high. At most, they'll lose an arm or a leg, they won't die..."

"It's unacceptable if she's missing an arm or a leg. If something really happens to Jiang Si, how am I supposed to tell Coco that I'll hate you for the rest of my life, Iris!"

"Wow, don't say such hurtful things, I'm contacting him..."

Iris, on the other hand, shrank back in fear after being startled by the other person's sobbing. She was clearly feeling guilty and scared.

"Here it comes! He replied to my message. Jiang Si said he's fine and is still shopping with his friends. I told him he's okay! Captain, why are you in such a hurry? Even if you like Jiang Si, there's no need to be so anxious..."

"I didn't!"

"Oh, I asked around, and they said they were shopping with their girlfriend..."

Then, after a moment of silence, someone said, with a hint of bitterness and dejection:

"I knew it, anyway, with her around, I don't have to worry..."

"She's just a girlfriend, don't be sad, Captain. Let me, Iris, teach you how to steal her away..."

"No need! Besides, I'm not sad."

There was another commotion over there, but the problem was finally resolved.

It seems that the person named Jiang Si is very important.

Iris breathed a sigh of relief, which was quite rare.

"Ugh! Seriously, this guy just won't answer the phone, it's infuriating! We're exhausted, and he's all lovey-dovey with his girlfriend, it's so annoying..."

While listening to Iris's complaints, Qingluan was preparing to go to sleep.

Her own phone rang.

I had no choice but to get up and answer the phone.

Then a bird flew out of her phone screen.

Then the bird changed shape in the sky, eventually transforming into a blurry human figure, which sat down next to the table.

Because it was a temporary room, the space was actually not very big; it was like a birdcage.

The only problem is that both the Azure Phoenix and the Iris are small, so they can easily squeeze into one bed.

But the two of them were already a bit cramped, and when the bird transformed into human form and sat down, the whole room felt even cramped.

The woman sitting at the table had her blonde hair styled in an updo, making her look like a noblewoman. She wore a vintage French-style tea dress, crossed her legs, and held a cup of black tea in her hands.

Whether it's her temperament, height, or figure and appearance, she is a rare mature older sister among magical girls.

After taking a leisurely sip of his black tea, he slowly looked at the two of them and asked, "The headquarters has observed massive magical releases in both Beihai and Jiangming City, within a span of no more than three days. Who did it?"

Qingluan immediately gave a wry smile, "You really overestimate us, Sister Jincha. Even the combined magic power of Iris and me doesn't amount to that much."

A hint of confusion appeared on her elegant expression. "The observations show it's not corrupt magic, is it? Could it be that the witch has done something again?"

“It’s the Qingyun Sect.” Qingluan sat down opposite Jincha. “I reported to the headquarters before that the Qingyun Sect, the largest free magical girl organization in East China, has a sect leader, the Blooming Magical Girl Ziyuan, who twice used magic to spread throughout Beihai and Jiangming.”

"Oh, well done."

That's what she said, but Jin Cha clearly didn't seem to care much.

"Her power has surpassed the level of a normal bloom. Neither I nor Iris have any ability to fight against her."

Jin Cha then showed a slight surprise, "That's quite impressive."

After all, Qingluan and Yuanwei performed exceptionally well at the headquarters; none of the magical girls of their generation were more outstanding than them.

"Perhaps it's related to full bloom..."

“Qingluan, I’ve already told you,” Jin Cha sighed. “You don’t understand Mankai, and you shouldn’t even think about exploring it. It won’t do you any good. Besides, it’s basically impossible for the free magical girl organizations outside to get Mankai. Does she have her own mental imagery domain? Tell me, what is Mankai’s biggest characteristic?”

Qingluan lowered her head, "Personal rules supersede reality."

"That's right. To do this, we must rely on the mental imagery domain. And to master the mental imagery domain, we can only do so in the magic domain specially opened up by the headquarters. The Free Magical Girls Organization does not have the ability to step into the Full Bloom."

As Jin Cha spoke, her tone became more distasteful. "They won't allow a free magical girl to step into the Full Bloom. Don't overthink it. No matter how powerful the Blooming is, it's still just the Blooming, and there's a huge gap between it and the Full Bloom."

"Regardless of the circumstances," Qingluan said, "the Qingyun Sect is neither a vicious organization like the Witch Society nor a very powerful one. The Disaster Management Bureau should change its strategy for dealing with the Qingyun Sect."

“I will talk to those congressmen.”

Qingluan didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "How is Senior Jasmine?"

"There's no sign of him waking up yet, but you don't need to worry too much..."

The atmosphere gradually became heavy, just as Qingluan was considering whether or not to reveal her intention to join the Qingyun Sect.

Suddenly, Iris came over and chattered, "Sister Jin Cha, Sister Jin Cha, I've recently figured out a promotion method that's more suitable for us. I strongly recommend that the General Administration implement it!"

Jin Cha smiled as well, "Oh, tell me, what has our little genius Iris thought of this time?"

"I've named it: The Six-Step Method for Level 100 Magical Girls!"

With her hands crossed and chin resting on her hand, Jin Cha listened with great interest as Iris finished explaining the so-called six-step method for leveling up to 100 as a magical girl.

“…After accumulating magic power to level 100, developing another ability is considered completing one step. Therefore, every high-level magical girl must complete these six steps to advance.”

"And these six steps, the genius Iris Miss named them Beginner, Ordinary, Advanced, Peak, Ultimate, and Final Perfection!"

Qingluan, standing beside him, covered her forehead, looking utterly speechless.

Jin Cha had expected Iris to dismiss her antics, but the more she listened, the more serious Jin Cha's expression became. "I think it's quite good. Is this really what you thought, Iris?"

"There was some reference involved." Iris guiltily avoided Jin Cha's gaze. "Overall, it's still what I thought was right."

"Heh, it doesn't matter, as long as it works."

Jin Cha didn't press further, but pondered for a moment, "I'll suggest it at the next meeting, but it'll probably be hard to implement in the short term, so don't get your hopes up too high." Iris nodded repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright. As long as it's implemented, that's good. I think it's very scientific. Also, once it's implemented, although I'm currently at level 200, I'll eventually reach level 600, the peak, the ultimate, perfected bloom! As for Qingluan, you're probably only at level 80, just entering the bloom stage."

Hehe, although the Nine Revolutions Method is also very good, the difference between the peak of the early stage of Blooming and the eighth stage of Blooming doesn't seem as big as the difference between the level 80 beginner of Blooming and the level 200 ordinary Blooming.

Her iris must be high above the blue phoenix!

Qingluan felt a headache coming on. "Do we really have to do this?"

“A more detailed classification would also make it easier to assign tasks, because they are all broadly classified as Blooming Magical Girls, but their strengths vary greatly. This has led to many Blooming Magical Girls failing when dealing with A-rank disaster beasts. This is an opportunity.”

Jin Cha said calmly, "They don't care about the life or death of magical girls. We have to be careful ourselves. Besides, we received news from the Inspection Department that the Mind Remains seem to be opening up again. If we are not careful, it could be another huge disaster. We need to select a magical girl with enough strength to deal with it."

"Remains of a mental image..."

Upon hearing this, Qingluan revealed a look of anger and hatred.

"Senior Jasmine is because of the Heart Image Remains!"

“This time it’s on a larger scale,” Jin Cha said in a low voice, “It’s a complete mental image remains.”

Even the usually optimistic Iris's expression turned serious.

"Perhaps we will have to face the power of a fully blooming magical girl."

……

When Chiaki went to the Disaster Management Bureau to pick up the unconscious Shuiling.

Bai Mei stood by the roadside, leaning on her cane, as people came and went, brushing past her.

But it couldn't touch her at all.

Occasionally, some young people would come over and greet her, some shyly, some cheerfully, asking if she needed help.

Bai Mei simply shook her head.

Every time I go out, I encounter many people who try to strike up a conversation and offer to help.

Bai Mei wasn't being modest, because she was fairly good-looking, and always looked sickly with her eyes tightly closed.

It's inevitable that some boys will want to try their luck.

Bai Mei occasionally thought of the kind of persistent, scheming suitors who were very common in online novels.

Its usual purpose is to embarrass the protagonist and highlight the female character's special treatment and love for him.

Bai Mei really wanted to try it once.

She wanted to be the female lead who displayed double standards and treated the main characters differently.

Of course, the main character can only be the master.

I wonder if Master would like this kind of thing.

The idea is good, the only problem is that persistent suitors are actually not easy to find.

At least after Bai Mei politely expressed her refusal, no one would persist in pestering her.

Perhaps it's because although Bai Mei is not bad-looking, she's not quite as beautiful as the stunning beauties described in online novels.

If it were Master in his magical girl form, maybe that would work.

Thinking about this, Bai Mei suddenly realized that she could also be the protagonist and slap someone in the face, making her master the female lead...

The only problem is that my master won't treat me specially.

For Bai Mei, although it was a bit of a regret, without a persistent and persistent character like Dian Zhongdian, she had no choice but to give up on the matter.

When expressing gratitude for someone's affection, one should never trample on their feelings or give them any unrealistic expectations.

As a sword cultivator, one must always be upright and have a clear conscience.

It's a pity that in reality, there are very few shameless, undignified, and malicious villains, making it impossible for her to replicate the plot of the online novel.

I passed by a familiar convenience store and picked up a bottle of water.

The shop owner is a young boy. In fact, he had been here a few times before, sometimes with an old lady and sometimes with this young boy.

His parents died because of the Witch's Guild's calamity beasts, and Bai Mei happened to be passing by and rescued them.

Later, I would occasionally come here to buy some water, and because of my status as the person who saved my life, I would get a discount.

Bai Mei wouldn't take things from others for free, but she still wanted some small discounts.

A bottle of mineral water that costs one yuan can be given for only eight mao (0.8 yuan). Although two mao (0.2 yuan) is not much, it will make Bai Mei happy all day.

"You can take it for free..."

Both the old man and the boy would say the same thing, but Bai Mei would never actually take things for free.

After paying and turning to leave, the boy chased after me, grabbed an umbrella, and muttered:

"It rained just now, and it might rain again later. The weather in Jiangming changes quickly. Here, take an umbrella. It's free, no money needed..."

Bai Mei bowed slightly to express her gratitude, and then declined the other party's offer.

As they left, Xin Yan could naturally see the dejected look on the boy's face behind him.

It's not that she can't understand.

After being rescued by his master and Bing Tang, he was no different from them.

She was no different from the boy at the roadside shop; Bai Mei was just lucky.

I just met my master.

Bai Mei stands out because of her master's special status.

If she hadn't met her master, Bai Mei wouldn't have obtained her own miracle seed.

If Bai Mei hadn't received her own miracle seed that day, she would have been just another ordinary little girl yearning for attention.

Everyone is the same.

After crossing the street, I arrived at a secluded city riverbank, where several B-level disaster beasts were disappearing.

A purple-clad magical girl slowly walked from the river to the bank, holding several Seeds of Lamentation in her hand, gazing intently at the Seeds of Lamentation and several Eggs of Calamity.

"Master."

She called out softly, and the purple magical girl turned around by the shimmering river, the scattered light behind her appearing somewhat psychedelic and hazy. "Oh, it's Bai Mei. Where are the twins?"

"I sent her to buy train tickets for us."

"Are you going back to Beihai?"

"Yes, Lord Bing Tang said he has something to discuss with me."

Ziyuan nodded, saying nothing, but casually tossed away the now-dulled Seed of Sorrow, which fell into the river and splashed up ripples. "What could it be? Probably just some reports. She loves making a fuss about these things..."

She smiled, not daring to interrupt about the relationship between her master and Lord Bing Tang, and simply asked softly, "What does Master plan to do with Ruoyun?"

"For now, I'll be acting as a member of the Holy Order," Ziyuan said casually. "It's quite convenient, and I have some talent."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed my master..."

“Qingyun Sect never forces anyone to stay.” Ziyuan simply reminded her, “Let whoever wants to leave go, just make sure to handle the aftermath.”

"Disciple knows."

Walking up to Ziyuan, Bai Mei turned slightly to the side and asked again, "Are you leaving this afternoon?"

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare for the college entrance exam. I need to go to the university research institute to find some information on full bloom."

As she spoke, Shion took out the seed and prepared to undo her transformation.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mei, who was next to him, suddenly opened her eyes.

Those eyes, as bright as the starry sky, rippled with the water, making the river beside them seem somewhat pale in comparison.

She reached out to grab Ziyuan's wrist, but Ziyuan naturally dodged away.

Ziyuan simply tilted her head and looked at her. "What, you want to spar?"

Bai Mei stared at Zi Yuan's eyes with her beautiful eyes, but she couldn't help but look away, her gaze finally settling on the seeds in Zi Yuan's hand.

"No, I just wanted to ask Master if he could stay in this position a little longer."

"Why?"

With a soft sigh, Bai Mei closed one eye, gazing at her master with only her bright right eye. "Because this allows Bai Mei to temper her Dao heart and make my sword heart clearer."

A gentle breeze rippled across the river, and the warm sunlight shimmered and danced in the water.

The rushing sound of the river was deafening, almost drowning out my heartbeat.

"Really?"

Ziyuan looked at her suspiciously, holding the seed in her hand, but did not rush to undo the transformation.

The girl in white smiled mischievously, then pursed her lips, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and blinked her eyes, which seemed to sparkle with stars. "It's absolutely true, Master."

After a moment's consideration, the young and dignified master put away the seed and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Just as a secret smug feeling of triumph was rising in his heart, a small conspiracy was about to succeed.

Then I heard my master say, "Let me see the effect in a moment, whether it is clear and bright."

Bai Mei lowered her eyebrows, and her smile faded.

Bitter.
