Sun Keke took a step forward. "You're blaming me for fighting with others? Didn't you read the cause and effect from your memories? It was just that group of people ganging up to bully me."

The shadow took a step back, feeling a powerful mental force pressing down on it. It didn't know what was wrong with its attack. Sun Lili had indeed had a fleeting thought of letting her sister settle things peacefully. "So what?! You're still causing me trouble! Do you know how much I have to work every day…"

"Shut up, you idiot! Listen to me!" Su Keke shouted, interrupting him. "Have you forgotten who our parents are?"

Sun Keke smiled dismissively, "They are the 'emo' young men and women. They are rebellious strongmen who eloped to the big city and built a family in a place where they knew no one."

“Dad taught us that if we are bullied, we should fight back. My sister did it, and so did I.”

"The blood of resistance has long flowed in the veins of us sisters."

“I don’t cause trouble, but if anyone dares to bully me, I’ll tear their mouth apart. When my sister finds out, she won’t blame me; she’ll praise me for doing a good job. You dog-like thing, don’t you know that the grandson of the Sun family is the grandson of Sun Wukong! Tear your fake face off!”

"Bear boy!"

"Puni~"

Accompanied by a comical children's shoe sound effect, a teddy bear sneaks up from behind the shadows, and a small figure formed from dark magic energy flies out from the teddy bear and attacks the shadow, Sun Keke.

"Your Highness, please skin her alive!"

"I understand~"

With a smile on his face, Ivan charged toward Shadow Sun Lili.

"enough!"

Suddenly, Sun Lili, the Shadow, shouted and unleashed a burst of shadow magic energy, pushing everyone away.

"What are you all barking about, one or two of you!" Shadow's voice seemed to have become a polyphonic singing style, complete with its own reverb.

As the shadows moved, the entire stage began to rise. This was a spiritual realm dominated by the mind, Sun Lili's castle, and it would naturally change according to Sun Lili's thoughts.

The earth spun, and everyone was scattered around the stage. The floor beneath Shadow's feet rose higher and higher, placing him at the highest point. "I'm fed up. I'm not finishing this. I'm going to teleport you all to space! I'll watch you suffocate in space!"

"That won't do!"

A cool, clear female voice rang out from the sky.

"Who?" Shadow looked up at the sky.

"I!"

A female voice descended from the sky, landing on the other side of the stage.

The girl landed and walked from the edge toward Sun Lili in the shadows. Each step made a crisp sound that echoed on the silent stage.

The wooden floor on the stage was rapidly increasing in value, gradually encircling the girl and the shadows at the center with each step she took.

Suddenly, the balcony beneath Zuli's feet began to move, spinning and landing on the first floor. Meanwhile, Sophia and the others, who had been standing at the edge of the stage, found themselves on a black carpet, which carried them backward.

Everyone had left the stage. On the stage, only Sun Lili, the shadow standing at the top of the throne, and Lin Xin, standing below the throne and looking up at the shadow, remained.

The lights went out, leaving only two beams of light illuminating the two people.

"You?" A hint of confusion flashed in the shadow's eyes, then, as if a barrier to perception had been broken, clarity returned in an instant. "You are the consciousness that escaped! You are..."

“Sun Lili,” Lin Xin said, pronouncing her own name. “I am the real Sun Lili.”

"Tsk, damn it, you made me overlook you." Shadow shook his head, his expression momentarily annoyed, then became arrogant again. "You coward who only knows how to run away, you have no power at all, what can you do now that you're back? Let me eat you to finish myself off?"

[This is a death flag, my friend.] Su Li wanted to complain, but found herself muted and unable to say anything.

Suddenly, Su Li's wrist was tugged. Turning around, she saw Sophia and the others. Looking behind her, she noticed an extra chair from the audience section.

Does this mean we should just observe?

Instead of rushing forward, Su Li led Sophia and the others to sit in the audience.

Didn't you see the change on stage? Sun Lili has already taken the initiative and victory is assured.

Sun Lili stared at the shadows high above, without a trace of fear in her eyes. "I'm running away from you, but aren't you running away from me too? Poor shadow."

“You are afraid of my hidden power. The source of your power is the excavation of my existing mental magic. That is why you are afraid that I will take back my power.”

"I used to think you were the embodiment of my dark side, and I was afraid to face my own bad thoughts. I didn't even realize this, and now I'm a laughing stock."

“But Coco is right, you are not me at all, you and I are fundamentally different.”

Sun Lili laughed freely, "Do you know what happened after that bullying story?"

Before it could answer, Sun Lili answered her own question, “After paying for the medical expenses and leaving with Keke, I only had 100 yuan left in my pocket for living expenses. I used that 100 yuan to take Keke out for a hot pot buffet to commend her for her brave resistance.”

“You have learned my appearance, but not what is in my blood. If you had learned even a fraction of it, you wouldn’t be trembling here.”

As Sun Lili spoke, the Shadow's high throne gradually lowered in height, until it stood on the same plane as Sun Lili.

Sun Lili, the Shadow, was agitated. "Nonsense! I've already taken your power. You're powerless, yet you dare to bark here! Die!"

Shadow pointed his staff at Sun Lili, and a shadow rushed toward Sun Lili's head.

Sun Lili placed her hand in front of her, and the shadow beam of light dispersed like water hitting a bridge pier.

"I have no power? That can't be right. This is the spiritual realm, Sun Lili's mental castle. Why would you think that I, Sun Lili, have no power?"

"You chose me, wasn't it for my mental magic?!"

Sun Lili cupped her hands in a heart shape and said, "Let me teach you. In the world of the heart, magic and miracles exist!"

"Thump!" The stage lights dimmed completely, plunging the entire room into darkness. Shadow wanted to do something, but she couldn't do anything. She was as if she had been frozen in place, unable to move.

"A thousand stars, all focused on me!"

"Thump!" Dozens of lights focused on Sun Lili. She loosely clenched her right hand, and light gathered in her palm.

Sun Lili's clothes seemed to transform into blazing flames, shining brightly, and her neatly tied hair was completely unfurled, spreading freely in the air.

"I have transcended myself!"

"Crack!"

In the darkness, the sound of countless gears meshing echoed. It was as if they were in a giant factory.

"I am most carefree now."

"Click-clack-click!" That's the sound of a spinning machine.

A sliver of starlight, cut from fabric, flew out of the darkness.

"Snip, snip, snip!" That's the sound of scissors cutting.

The cloth gradually took shape in the cold light.

"Squeak~~~~~" That was the sound of the metal door of the furnace being pulled open. The scalding cast iron was taken out by the conveyor belt, and countless hammering mechanisms hammered the cast iron in turn, shaping it.

"Buzz~~~~" The beam of light condensed in the instrument, cutting the gemstone at the set angle.

"I am at my most radiant now!"

Everything converged around Sun Lili. Cloth covered Sun Lili's figure, and several little light sprites used cosmetics formed of light to apply lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush to Sun Lili.

Everything was over, and Sun Lili reappeared in front of everyone.

With her eyes closed, she used both hands to lift her long hair, which was cascading down her back, from her neck. Then, with a flick of her wrist, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The black color quickly faded in the starlight, turning into a wondrous hairstyle with purple on the outside and a starry sky-like effect against her back.

Finally, all the light spirits transformed into earrings and brooches, attaching themselves to Sun Lili.

"On this stage created by counterfeits, there is only one star!"

With a "crack," the ceiling shattered, revealing the starry sky outside.

A long staff rose from the ground and was held in Sun Lili's hand.

"Star Magical Girl Estelle (French for Little Star)"

"I am the only star!"

"On this glorious and dazzling stage, please witness!"

Sun Lili narrowed her eyes slightly and winked at everyone.

(∠?1?1w<)⌒☆

"I have been reborn!"

With a "whoosh," a large number of audience members dressed in suits and wearing masks with the character "人" (person) on their faces suddenly appeared on the empty seats. They stood up, raised their hands, and clapped loudly in front of Sun Lili.

Applause resounded throughout the stage.

Offstage, Su Li's mouth never closed from beginning to end.

[Is this what it means to be a spiritual practitioner? They have so much to do!]
