Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　With a blank expression, Lan Tianzhu switched between several TV channels.

　I noticed that everyone was reporting on this.

　Cong Yu strongly supported Lan Tianzhu's idea, and he couldn't help but complain, "You think weirdos are wild monsters? You can just lure them in whenever you want?"

　That makes sense.

　Yaochuan Guang suddenly felt no guilt.

　"..." Cong Yu rested his chin on his hand. He was a little worried that some expert might suddenly come out and criticize Yao Chuanguang for not doing a good job.

　But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem that bad.

　Magical girls are magical girls after all... not superheroes.

　Even in America, where magical girls are most like superheroes, there is a huge difference between the two... namely, magical girls are good-looking.

　Ahem, don't think this is a joke.

　Beautiful magical girls have an incredibly large number of fans... Take Hikaru Yokawa, who has over a million Twitter followers, as an example.

　Even if Yaochuan Guang does make a wrong decision one day and causes losses.

　No expert dares to criticize... unless it's for the sake of generating buzz.

　Otherwise, he would definitely be attacked by Yaochuan Guang's fans... and it's even possible that they would dox him or open his box.

　Many magical girls gradually realize how reckless they can be during this process, thus falling into the abyss.

　However, the adorable Hikaru Yokawa probably doesn't...

　It will go bad.

　At least it won't get worse so quickly, right?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at Lan Tianzhu, who was changing channels, and reminded her: "In Fengdu, the impact of a weirdo of this magnitude is very serious... so Fengdu TV should be broadcasting this news right now."

　Central City Television is different...

　No matter what major event happens on Central City's channel, even if some district in Central City explodes, it feels like they'll still keep broadcasting their anime.

　When CCTV stops broadcasting cartoons, it's probably because something really terrible has happened.

　"okay……"

　Lan Tianzhu ultimately gave up on finding a program he liked. Instead, he obediently kept the television screen focused on the exchange between the two experts.

　It wasn't a channel from Fengdu, but some unknown health expert.

　Yao Chuanguang nestled beside Cong Yu, watching the two health experts talk animatedly—

　Let me tell you, I actually don't understand many of the terms used today.

　Tell me.

　For example, what about unhealthy heterosexual relationships and cohabitation... I just don't understand, what constitutes "unhealthy" and what constitutes "healthy"?

　Sigh, if a boy and a girl live together, isn't that considered bad behavior?

　I disagree with what you're saying. In our academic circles, research shows that... it's good for health for opposite sexes to snuggle together.

　That's not exactly bad... it should at least be rated "excellent".

　【Hey hey hey...】

　【hey-hey--】

　Where did this crosstalk expert come from?

　Cong Yu pondered for a moment, then glanced at Yao Chuan Guang nestled against her, who snuggled even closer...

　She looked around and realized that Xiao Cui wasn't there...

　That's great, thankfully the children didn't see this weird program.

　Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang rubbed his eyes, breathing evenly as if he was about to fall asleep: "Congyu-chan, Xiaolan...where did Xiaocui go?"

　Before Cong Yu could answer anything, Lan Tianzhu spoke first, explaining, "She went out to play. She said she met friends her age online."

　Meeting someone you met online...

　Yao Chuanguang nodded to indicate that he understood... but he was still a little worried, not about Xiao Cui's safety.

　Instead, they were worried about the safety of the "netizens".

　Because Xiao Cui had a strong desire to kill.

　If the netizens were bad people... they might get killed by the little sprites summoned by Xiao Cui.

　Those innocent yet bloodthirsty and cruel little demons are really quite frightening.

　Lan Tianzhu felt that Yaochuan Guang was worried about Xiao Cui, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Cui said she will post on Twitter when she arrives."

　As he said this, Lan Tianzhu took out his phone.

　Cong Yu also took out her phone...

　"..." On Xiao Cui's Twitter, there was a photo of two little girls together, and the mother of the other little girl was also showing her face.

　The accompanying text is...

　[I went out to hang out with a friend whose family owns a coffee shop!]

　"..." The wind is really weak.

　Chapter 236 Monsters and Saints

　The term "spiritual vein" is quite interesting... because long ago, these things were called by many different names.

　For example, "earth veins" or "magic springs," but later a unified name was adopted—energy vein.

　You can call it "Source Vein" or "Demon Vein".

　All I can say is that everyone can understand it.

　These spiritual veins, buried underground yet independent of the earth, are generally considered very important and precious resources.

　These spiritual veins, originating from the world itself and flowing with magical power from their source, are products of nature, a gift from heaven and earth.

　For humans, the nodes of spiritual veins can serve as strongholds, forming large protective barriers to safeguard cities.

　For monsters, the magic emanating from these spiritual veins helps them become stronger and evolve... but they also need nodes.

　The nodules of a spiritual vein are the key points where spiritual energy gathers and flows within the vein... They hold an important position within the spiritual vein.

　It is the key to the formation, stabilization, and flow of magical energy of the spiritual veins.

　It usually flows with a richer and more powerful magic, and may also be a confluence point connecting different spiritual veins.

　These nodes enable the exchange and sharing of magical energy between different spiritual veins, making it easier to acquire a larger amount of magical energy.

　Then the problem is coming...

　What is the significance of the nodes of the spirit veins for magical girls and monsters? Or rather, what is the significance of the spirit veins themselves for magical girls and monsters?

　The answer is clearly not meaningless.

　However, it is indeed not very meaningful for ordinary little monsters or ordinary little magical girls... just like the existence of a gold mine is not very meaningful for ordinary people.

　The reason is the same.

　Monsters are different. Any small monster, whether it is a small monster, a large monster, or a super-large monster, can freely use the spiritual veins.

　Monsters do not have the concept of a physical body, nor do they have the concept of a "vital point".

　Unlike the red of flesh and blood, or the green of plants... a monster is a monster, a unique life form.

　It has no brain but can think; it has no mind but can possess wisdom; it has no digestive organs but can chew and devour...

　Their entire bodies are filled with magic, which forms their physical form. The entire clan can directly use spiritual veins.

　In other words...

　"Monsters are the true beings, suited to live in this world... We monsters are the masters of this world."

　Speaking with such fervor, the humanoid shadow with a strange mask covering its face emitted a woman's voice...

　Visibly, his mask was covered with tiny, glowing characters, making the mask appear as a white light source.

　Standing before it was a monster that was nodding, its mask completely blank, devoid of any expression.

　The monster seemed to agree with the female monster's words, nodding repeatedly: "That's right, we are the masters of the world!"

　"..." In response, the smiling monster beside him said with obvious amusement, "Dian...you keep exposing Dian every day, it's hilarious, hahaha."

　Another female monster standing nearby had...

　(￣^￣)#

　The female monster with the displeased expression sighed even more at the new member's appearance: "Xiao... don't listen to Dian in everything."

　After all, everyone knows that "典" is just a joke.

　Sometimes what you say today can completely overturn what you said yesterday... maybe that's what they call a "boomerang" or something.

　However, every time she tried to correct it...

　"Joy" will stir up trouble.

　"Oh, it's alright, it's alright... Hahaha, isn't this quite good? This is what motherly love and filial piety look like—"

　The smiling monster, while packing its things and pulling up its hood, said, "Well, I'm going out for a bit. Do you want to come along?"

　As it spoke, it stretched out its finger and drew a gap in the air, opening a passage to the outside world.

　Those present seemed uninterested in the invitation.

　Only "Dian" showed some interest. She raised her head and said, "Britain? I want to go with them... because the British Isles will ultimately belong to us."

　It's a hit again, another hit.

　"Don't talk nonsense, haha! We have no intention of confronting the Saint King head-on, let us go..."

　With that, the smiling monster stepped through the newly opened passage first, saying, "Investigate the condition of the nodules."

　Then, Xiao looked around, unsure whether he should go outside with Dian and Le.

　Or should I stay at home with "Bang" and "Ma" who hasn't spoken a word yet?

　"Just keep it..."

　The monster, her face full of displeasure, said this casually, resting her chin on her hand: "No need to worry about 'Le' and the others... they're more reliable when it really matters."

　For example, after doing some research on the Monster King's sphere of influence, Le had already made a judgment.

　"Le" believes that among the vast majority of royal territories, those with large spheres of influence and high-quality spiritual veins are less likely to be personally confronted by the king.

　He's just a saint king who adopts a sufficiently high posture.

　And that was indeed the case; after arriving in Britain, they randomly chose a city near a small ley line node.

　They attacked the city several times and gained a new companion named "Xiao," but still no powerful figure came to stop them.

　Or perhaps this is actually the norm...

　Japan is a special case; it's a small place, yet it's home to a bunch of really good fighters.

　After conducting such an experiment, "Le" decided to explore whether the spiritual vein nodules could meet their requirements.

　If they are qualified and capable of supporting it, then they can build their own "grand chamber" there, which would mean...

　If nothing unexpected happens.

　Their era...

　It's time to start!

　-

　"Your Majesty? Is there anything you wish to do?"

　In the dim light, one figure asked another a question. The other figure slowly shook its head at the woman asking the question.

　A figure draped in a pristine white robe, its hem swaying gently, softly removed the hood from their head.

　Her golden hair and youthful, delicate face were revealed.

　The emerald green eyes conveyed an indescribable feeling... if one had to find a word, it would be sacred.
