"What? Keke's big brother is getting married?"
"Where did you hear that?"
Beihai, Disaster Control Bureau.
Ever since Jiang Si was put on the wanted list, the atmosphere at the Bureau had beco increasingly oppressive and tense.
That day, when Keke tried to break out, she ran into Four Leaf and Six Leaf, who promptly locked her in a break room and even confiscated her Miracle Seed.
In the na of Azure Cloud, Keke could not be allowed to go out and cause trouble for her brother.
That's what the people from Azure Cloud Sect said, and given Azure Cloud Sect's control over Beihai, there wasn't much they could do to resist.
But when Keke tearfully pleaded to go find her big brother—
As mbers or employees of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau, no one truly had the heart to make Keke suffer.
After all, before, when Captain Silver Lotus was injured and couldn't transform, and the Bureau faced multiple Disaster Beast attacks, it was mostly Keke who handled them alone.
And Keke had always gotten along very well with everyone at the Bureau, happily greeting everyone every day, sharing snacks, and even just chatting.
No one was particularly interested in Keke's relationship with the Magical Girl Shion,
but for the employees of the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau, Keke was like their own little sister or daughter. How could they bear to make her suffer?
Not to ntion, Peony slacked off multiple tis, and Keke helped cover for her.
So, even though the high-pressure order from Azure Cloud Sect was being enforced, Peony still "accidentally" stole the key from her good friend Susan,
and then "accidentally" dropped it in Keke's break room.
As a result, with Keke's short little arms, she couldn't reach the key to open the door, so the Beihai employee on guard duty "accidentally" inserted the key into the keyhole, "accidentally" opened the door, and "accidentally" dropped the Miracle Seed outside the door as well.
Imdiately after, Keke took Silver Lotus hostage and, under everyone's watchful eyes, quietly slipped away.
Of course, Peony put in quite a bit of effort during this, "inadvertently" interfering with Shuangye's surveillance in the basent.
She had been working hard to get stronger too, not just standing still.
The power of slacking off on vacation and sleeping ten tis a day!
Although she could only interfere for a short while, it was enough for Keke to leave.
And after Keke and Silver Lotus left, everyone tacitly agreed not to ntion the two of them. Even when Azure Cloud Sect or the Central Bureau occasionally ca asking, everyone just said they didn't know.
After everyone tacitly sent Keke off, they originally planned to just take whatever punishnt Azure Cloud Sect dished out.
But then sothing miraculous happened.
Azure Cloud Sect actually didn't get angry about it, didn't even hold them accountable. They just asked about Keke's whereabouts and then left them alone.
The matter was brushed over just like that.
Although they lost Silver Lotus and Keke, and Yueji, who was at the police station, took a long leave to visit relatives, the Bureau's Magical Girl combat power was almost completely depleted. Even dealing with minor Disaster Beasts often fell to the rookie An Shiyu. But at least, for the bigger Disaster Beasts, Azure Cloud Sect would handle them.
It wasn't to the point of being understaffed.
Until one day, when Peony and Alice returned from a mission and went to the cafeteria to eat,
they suddenly overheard the employees talking about Keke's big brother.
"Heard it from Silver Lotus. Didn't Silver Lotus co back for a bit before? I heard the invitations are already sent out. Seems like it's so queen from the Mirror World."
"Before, he was all tangled up with Shion, and now he's hooked up with soone else. What a scumbag. No wonder Azure Cloud Sect put a bounty on him. Serves him right!"
"But I think this is really outrageous and bizarre. First the Azure Cloud Sect Master, then a queen or sothing... Aren't you guys jealous? By the way, I'm not jealous at all."
", neither! He's still ssing around with the Dregs now, right? Aren't the old world Dregs the enemy?"
"Who knows. Keke really drew the short straw, having a brother like that who's a total playboy. I think Captain Silver Lotus looked pretty downcast too. The Captain wouldn't be interested in that guy, would she?"
"Probably just worried about Keke. Aren't those two the closest?"
"Yeah."
Over there, they chatted back and forth, and after a while finished their al, picked up their trays, and left. Peony was still shocked by what she heard when she looked up and saw the beautiful little wings on An Shiyu's head curled up tightly.
Like clenched fists.
"It's probably just a rumor."
Looking at the frozen An Shiyu, Peony imdiately spoke up to comfort her. "Weren't there a lot of rumors before too? Like Jiang Si having a harem in Azure Cloud Sect and Shion catching him cheating, leading to him being hunted down or sothing."
An Shiyu managed a weak smile. "Y-yeah."
"Don't take it to heart."
"I'm fine."
You look like you're about to cry, and you say you're fine?
Peony propped her chin on one hand, looking at this rookie and couldn't help but sigh.
From An Shiyu's first day in Beihai, her target had been Jiang Si. Peony naturally knew this.
Things like dreams of being a Magical Girl, the enthusiasm to save others—these were actually quite faint in An Shiyu.
Not that they were absent. At the very least, during daily Disaster Beast cleanups and rescuing ordinary people, An Shiyu seed to enjoy herself.
But more of her passion was invisible.
Most of the ti, she was focused on Keke, and Keke's big brother, probably always thinking about getting close to Jiang Si soday.
Although Peony always thought, how could anyone possibly steal a man from Shion?
But she never expected to actually see the day.
"What old world queen dares to get ahead of !"
Suddenly, An Shiyu stood up, slamming the table with a fierce montum. "No way! I must snatch him back!"
Peony was already used to this. An Shiyu's dual personality—at first, Peony thought she was just adding a setting to stand out from the other girls, an otaku-ish attempt to attract Jiang Si's attention.
Back in high school, she had also set herself up as a princess in exile...
But later, she found out it was actually a dual personality. Guess Magical Girls are just getting more and more unique these days.
"Stop ssing around, Senior Mùjǐn. You'll be disliked."
"Even if I'm disliked, it's better than losing the chance! We must take the initiative, crash the wedding, we must crash the wedding!"
Watching An Shiyu plant her foot right on the dining table, looking like she was ready to wreak havoc, Peony sighed, already accustod to this.
When An Shiyu finally retracted her foot, Peony casually took out a tissue and wiped the footprint off the table. "Even if you want to go, you can't without an invitation."
Mùjǐn sat down, biting her fingernails. "Damn it, I shouldn't have pitied Changgeng back then. I should have taken them all out!"
"Turning from a Magical Girl into a witch, huh, Senior."
"Since they're all dead anyway, doesn't matter."
Peony also felt a headache coming on. She didn't know how this would end. If Keke's big brother really married the Mirror Kingdom queen...
First of all, things would be hard to explain over in South China. The people of South China and the Mirror Kingdom are practically sworn enemies.
Now, with this marriage looking like it's going public, the Magical Girls of South China will probably hear about it too.
Who knows what will happen then...
"If it's an invitation you want."
A sudden voice cut in. Peony looked up and imdiately hugged the person. "Susan! Where have you been these past few days? I'm exhausted, hurry up and help with work."
"Get off."
Kicking her friend away, Susan simply placed a large red invitation on the table, looking seriously at An Shiyu. "I have the invitation for the Mirror Queen and Jiang Si's engagent right here."
Mùjǐn imdiately tried to grab it, but Susan pressed her hand down.
"We'll go together."
North China, New Witch Association.
The founding mbers of the New Witch Association, who were originally busy constructing and producing witch reagents, had all gathered together.
The conference room was clean, with only a huge long conference table and a wall covered entirely with display screens.
Above the screens hung a plaque.
On it were the words written by Simo Tu-sama.
Lingao Qiming.
No one could understand what it ant. Simo Tu-sama said it ant "enlightening industrial civilization in Lingao County,"
The problem was, there was no Lingao County in North China.
After much thought, Yun Ke spent so funds to have the towns in this area renad to Lingao County.
Now, this "Lingao Qiming" finally lived up to its na.
Later, they even received an AAA-level enterprise credit honor certificate.
Even got personally inspected by Jincha.
You could say they were riding high for a ti.
But now, the originally thriving, bustling factory was deathly still.
In the conference room, no one spoke for a long ti.
"Now that Simo Tu-sama has defected to the Mirror Kingdom, our New Witch Association is in dire straits." Yun Ke said with a pained expression. "Everyone, speak up. Where should the New Witch Association go from here?"
"Where Simo Tu-sama is, that's the Witch Association!"
The only witch in the entire New Witch Association who would never waver.
The girl nad Xilan sat directly on the table. "Simo Tu-sama isn't defecting to the Mirror Kingdom; he's infiltrating the enemy! What we need to do is believe and wait! Wait for Simo Tu-sama's orders!"
"But the problem is, the Witch Association won't let us wait either." Yun Ke scratched her head. "Do you know how much pressure we're under now? Even the Witch Association over there won't sell us raw materials anymore!"
"Doesn't matter. We'll wait for Simo Tu-sama to return and settle accounts with them one by one!"
Then they heard Old Driver say gloomily, "Xilan, are you really willing to watch your master marry soone else?"
Xilan, who had always been barking like a loyal dog, was stunned. "What do you an?"
"If Simo Tu really marries the Prince, with the Prince's domineering nature, you probably won't get to see Simo Tu-sama anymore in the future. You might even be thrown away by Simo Tu."
Xilan's expression changed, finally showing a bit of unease.
Everything else was fine, but this absolutely could not happen!
"Then what do you think we should do?"
For the first ti, Xilan hesitated and asked for soone else's opinion.
"I think Simo Tu might not be willing to go through with this wedding either." Old Driver stroked his stubbly chin, coughed to make his voice sound more masculine. "Should we try to... sabotage this wedding?"
"That won't do. If Simo Tu-sama blas us, who can bear the responsibility?"
Seeing Xilan shake her head repeatedly, Old Driver lowered his voice. "I've seen the two of them interact before. I guarantee you, Simo Tu has no interest in the Prince. This wedding is probably forced by the Prince. Of course, if Simo Tu-sama is happy about it, we'll just go to the wedding to celebrate for him. But if he's not happy..."
At this point, a glint flashed in Xilan's eyes. Then she thought for a mont. "Wait, how do we infiltrate the wedding venue?"
Old Driver laughed heartily, slapping an invitation on the table. "Don't worry about that. I'm an old-tir on the Prince's side too. Getting one invitation is no problem. I'll take you all in!"
"Great, great, great!"
Before Xilan could finish, Yun Ke rolled her eyes over there. "Wait, just the few of us? What are we going to use to sabotage the wedding? We'll be taken care of by the Alices before we even make a move, right? Are you sure we can pull it off?"
Xilan imdiately cald down.
Indeed, the New Witch Association was a legitimate, non-black-market enterprise beloved by children in East China. Ninety-nine percent of their combat power rested with Simo Tu-sama...
The three of them combined probably couldn't even take on one Alice.
"Haha, relax, I anticipated this too!"
With that, Old Driver directly took out an invitation letter and slapped it on the table.
"The Saint Hall, ever heard of it? As long as you're willing to pay, invite the Saint Hall. A re Mirror Kingdom wedding is nothing!"
"Whoa, you're this well-prepared? You've been planning this for a while, haven't you?"
Old Driver sighed slightly. "You know, I've been a fan of Shion for a long ti."
"Since Shion spared my life, I must return the favor! Anyone who dares to steal Shion's man must be taught a lesson!"
Yun Ke and Xilan both stared at him without speaking.
After a long while, Yun Ke asked another question. "Who's paying for the Saint Hall?"
Everyone's gaze turned to her.
"Fine, I knew it."
Mirror Kingdom, Royal Palace.
The one sitting on the throne was not the Mirror Queen.
It was the legend of the Witch Association, the leader of the New Witch Association, Simo Tu.
The Mirror Queen was currently sitting on Simo Tu's lap.
After returning, Jiang Si insisted on changing the grand wedding to an engagent. After several argunts, Itaen finally backed down.
Changed to an engagent, but she planned to smoothly transition directly to marriage during the latter half of the engagent ceremony,
to avoid complications.
But she also knew so people had pre-wedding anxiety. She had to take care of her lover's psychological state. When the ti ca, she'd go with the flow. Once married, he'd slowly accept it.
The Prince had read relevant content; this process was fine.
Since he was already here, and the wedding was happening anyway.
After that, with the Mirror Kingdom's technology, she'd get pregnant as quickly as possible. Then he'd be completely tied down.
Tying Jiang Si to the Mirror Kingdom's war chariot ant she wouldn't have to worry about him running away anymore.
"The thod to cross worlds can't be revealed to you yet, but the Heavenly Fire Attainnt is the key."
Sitting on Jiang Si's lap, the Prince held fruit and sweets, intimately feeding them into Jiang Si's mouth.
Looking at it this way, it resembled so decadent, tyrannical ruler.
The Prince's figure was also quite petite. Now, having taken off her shoes and slightly drawing up her legs, those slender little feet wrapped in stockings could rest on Jiang Si's legs.
To be honest, sitting on it felt like sitting on an iron railing. Her butt...
The Prince had one foot in white stockings resting on Jiang Si's leg, the other in black stockings resting on his foot. This way, she ensured her butt wouldn't be too uncomfortable on Jiang Si's rock-solid thighs.
"After the Heavenly Fire Attainnt, the Mirror Kingdom will obtain the power of Full Bloom. With the Mirror Kingdom's technology, our utilization of Full Bloom power is far beyond what those Magical Girls can imagine. At that ti, I will restore your power."
Leaning against Jiang Si's chest, the toes of her lower foot gently hooked his shoelace through the stocking.
While feeding Jiang Si fruit, the Prince fiddled with his lips. "Don't worry, we will definitely defeat Azure Cloud Sect and beco the rulers of the world!"
Jiang Si nodded, then glanced down at her. "You're a bit heavy."
The atmosphere in the palace instantly froze into a cold, dead silence.
The Prince stood up with a "smack." "Impossible, absolutely impossible! I've been keeping my figure in check recently. The system always shows I'm very healthy."
"Being healthy doesn't an you're not heavy." Jiang Si got up from the throne. "Eat less."
The Prince's face imdiately flushed red.
She had been eating a bit more lately... Because the plan was progressing smoothly, and she had been working late nights, her calorie intake might have slightly exceeded the limit. But the system's health index had always been normal, so she hadn't paid it much mind.
Now that Jiang Si had pointed it out, she felt sowhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, soon after, an Alice rushed in from outside, relieving her of her awkwardness.
"Your Majesty, the Magical Girls from South China have gathered. The Water in the Spring, who was originally planning to carry out the Full Bloom operation there, now dares not approach South China!"
"Useless!" The Prince imdiately adjusted her emotions, her expression stern, with none of the earlier fluster. "Deploy so Alices to go there—"
"No need." Jiang Si walked over, waving his hand. "I'll handle it."
She wanted to stop him, but on second thought, stopping him here would probably make Jiang Si think she looked down on him again.
Although he was strong, Jiang Si's sensitive, fragile self-esteem still needed careful nurturing.
She had the ability and patience for that.
So she nodded, just saying, "Then I'll trouble you."
After Jiang Si left, she dispatched a few more Alices to follow, just in case.
Jiang Si still had the system bracelet; there shouldn't be a big problem.
She pulled up the system panel again to check. The guests who should have been invited had probably all been invited.
Most importantly, the people from Azure Cloud Sect should have received their invitations. As long as they were willing to co, everything else would be much simpler.
Of course, the grand wedding with Jiang Si wasn't just a matter of personal preference or caprice. The Prince had her own plan: to use this wedding to lure Azure Cloud Sect into coming and guide them to help her complete the Heavenly Fire Attainnt...
In fact, in this regard, Jiang Si's identity as Shion's ex-boyfriend was a huge help.
Just as she was reviewing her plan, checking for any issues, and thinking about how to smoothly transition the engagent into a wedding, cooking the rice before it was even in the pot,
another Alice ran in.
"Your Majesty, soone requests an audience!"
"Who? Don't they know I'm busy with the wedding lately? Unless it's soone important, don't bother ."
"She said that as long as you hear her na, you will definitely see her."
The Prince sat back on the throne, which still retained Jiang Si's body heat. She leaned against the throne, lifted her chin, a flicker of interest in her blood-red eyes. "What na?"
"Twins."
"So random nobody. Tell her to get lost."
She had actually been curious for a mont.
But the Alice still bowed her head and said, "But Your Majesty, she said she has very important information to share with you. If you don't listen, you will definitely regret it."
Her expression shifted slightly. The Prince thought for a mont, then nodded. "Let her in."
A short while later, that twin-tailed girl, barefoot, ca hopping and skipping into the palace.
When she saw the Prince, she even revealed a sowhat mysterious and proud smile.
"Little Prince, ah... ah ah ah ah ah!"
Before she could finish, it turned into a scream.
Because the Prince casually waved her hand, and countless shards of glass appeared on the palace floor!
These Mirror Kingdom technologies couldn't be blocked even with mana. So, while screaming, Twins started doing a tap dance.
Soon, she was looking at the Prince with teary eyes.
"Your Highness, spare !!"
She had wanted to do this for a long ti.
What kind of primitive person doesn't wear shoes?
Never been pricked before, huh?
Only when she was satisfied did the Prince wave her hand again, restoring the floor.
Twins plopped down on the ground, hugging her little feet, rubbing and blowing on them.
Although there were a bunch of glass shards, she was a witch after all. She wasn't punctured, just in pain.
"Speak. What's the matter? If you don't say sothing that interests , it won't just be glass shards next ti."
Twins imdiately straightened her expression and hurriedly stood up.
"Of course, of course I do."
Twins raised her hand. "I want to tell you about Jiang Si."
The Prince narrowed her eyes.
"His relationship with Shion is not that simple, you know."
